Jackets Whip Portland Nine In First Game Taking advantage of 11 Portland errors, Decatur’s Yellow Jackets won a loosely played, baseball seoson home-opener, 16-4, behind ♦he stellar pitching performances of Larry Daniels and Harley Wolfe at Worthman field Monday afternoon. The Yellow Jackets committed six errors! of their own, Kut Daniels and Wolfe rose to the occasion whenever Portland threatened, striking out 11 between them, in the chilly opener for both teams. Decatur batted around in two innings, scoring four runs in the ; first inning and then 10 in the * sixth to sew up the contest. The Panthers, however, showed good power, getting three extra base hits of their four in the game to tie the score in the fourth inning, 4-4. The Jackets gathered ' six hits, all singles, and in scoring ! the 10 runs in the sixth used only one of them. Portland pitchers issued nine bases on balls, while the fire-bal-ling Wolfe gave up Decatur’s only pass, but didn’t allow a hit, striking out five in the three innings he worked. Daniels, a cool and poised veteran, didn’t give up a hit until two were put in the third inning. Coach Bill McColly’s team plays at Winchester today, in another non-fcague' game, starting at 5 p. m. The Jackets scored four times in the first inning on hits by Grabill. Lytle, Shraluka, and Holtsberry, sandwiched in with walks to Daniels, Cowan, Canales and Ritter. They added the winning margin in the fifth when Shraluka got on by an error and Holtsberry walked. Puckett, the Panther pitcher, then wild pitched them across after Cowan sacrificed the runners to second and third. t The Decatur sixth was a dilly. Four walks, nine errors, a hit batsman, three stolen bases, a dropped third strike, and Gay’s two-out single accounted for 10 runs. Gay did not advance past first base as Lytle was throWn out trying to reach third on the hit to short right field.

■ 1 -— ■v ■ , —————— Second Major > League Openers i On Tap Today ) By FRED DOWN ) United Press International ) The San Francisco Giants and I Chicago White wsox make their ) home debuts as unbeaten, front- ) running today when an ) estimated' 265,000 fans are expect- ) ed to view major league baseball’s .seven "secondary” openers. > Off in front with three straight 3 victories under their belts, the ( Giants and White Sox will be out . to keep the pressure on the defending league champions in the j next six days. The Giants have three games each with the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals 1 and the White Sox play six games against the Kansas City Athletics and Detroit Tigers before either hits the road again. The Giants are sending Jack Sanford, acquired from Philadelphia during the winter, against. iDave Hillman while the White Sox have Billy Pierce going against Kansas City's Ralph Terry. A capacity crowd of 22,500 will be on hand to welcome the Giants home and some 25,000 will be on hand when the White Sox face the Athletics. Big Crowd At L.A. 1 The biggest crowd of the day — 'when teams which opened the ‘ season on the foad play their first 1 home games—will be an expected - 70,000 in Los Angeles Coliseum > when the Dodgers open at night i against the Cardinals. Lefty Johnny Podrse has been tapped for the Los Angeles pitching assignment and probably will be opposed by Lindy McDaniel. The Philadelphia Phillies are at Milwaukee and the Pittsburgh Pirates are at Cincinnati in the other National League action. The Phillies have Seth Morehead slated to face 22-game winner Warren Spahn, who opened the season April 10 with a shutout against the Pirates, and the Pirates have sophomore George Witt slated to go agairst Bob Purkey. Purkey beat the Pirates in Cincinnati’s "advance opener” last Thursday. The world champion New York |. Yankees have Don Larsen opposing Arnold Portocarrero of the Baltimore Orioles, the Washington Senators are sending Camilo Pascual against Ike Delock of the Boston Red Sox and the Detroit 1 Tigers have nominated Jim Bun--1 ning to oppose Herb Score of the Cleveland Indians in the other > American League games. Score Tries Comeback , The Braves, eager to defend their "attendance title" against ’ the threat of the colossal potential 1 of the Los Angeles Coliseum, ex- ’ pect “only” 42,000 today. But they are convinced a better club and civic pride will enable them • to draw more fans than the Dodg- • ers do in .their vast if misshapen ■ stadium. > , A key game in the American ' League finds ” Score making his first start since last July 15 ’ against Detroit. Hit hard in exhibitions and wild in a relief effort last Friday, Score is attempting a comeba ck after two years ’ of frustration. His troubles began in May, 1957, when he was struck in the eye by a liner off the bat of the Yankees’ Gil McDougald. 1 The first few days of the pennant races definitely turned the spotlight on the Giants and White ' Sox—both rated strong contenders and both off to perfect starts. Neither the Yankees nor Braves has lost, of course, but still are in the unexpected position of having to make up ground. With the season less than a week old, the stage already has been set for fireworks. Louisville Leading In Hockey Playoffs FORT WAYNE, ind.
