By Eddie Ash Baseball spring training days are over and this afternoon the diamond pastimers began battling the championship percentage table. For it was npenlng day once more. The sport world clock made another complete revolution and thrills of the past were forgotten as fans eagerly awaited some new excitement at Washington Park. St. Paul and Indianapolis, keen rivals for years, were matched up in lire inaugural here and the usual capacity throng was expected to be on hand to view the struggle. This is the twenty-sixth year of campaigning in the American Association and at least six of the eight clubs rate themselves pennant contenders. And Saints and Indians are included in the front-runner class. Views of Managers Manager Allen of St. Paul firmly helieves his team is stronger than last season and Bruno Betzel. new pilot of the Indians, has similar views regarding the home club. The locals assert they are stronger on the infield and behind the bat than the 11126 starting outfit, and only recently strength was added in the outfield. Moreover, Manager Betzel figures his pitching staff of high finality. It is Betzel’s first experience as manager and his friends in Celina. Ohio, his home, organized a rooting force to visit Indianapolis today to give him a rousing send-off. The Indians finished second under Ownie Bush the past three years and Owner Smith is giving the newpilot all help possible in order to enable him to meet or better the pace set by his predecessor. Fans Pull for Bruno With Louisville several seasons as a star second baseman, Bruno is well-known to Washington Park patrons and he will not want for encouragement from Indianapolis rooters. Indications pointed to a righthanded pitching battle this afternoon when the Important event got under way at 3. Bill Burwell, popular twirler, drew the mound assignment for the Indians and Paul Zahniser. former major league flinger, was slated for the Saints. The downtown parade that usually goes with opening day was dispensed with this spring, owing to the confusion it causes in the city's iraffle. But there were to be some miliar ceremonies at the ball park ceding the game. ' Mayor Duvall xvas to endeavor to ■ h the honorary first, ball, a squad marines was to direct the flag ng and a few other stunts were i enliven the gala affair, while a 1 end did its best to kick up enthusiasm. Oates opened at 12:30. Duvall’s opening pitch was to be witnessed by bis employes, because city hall was closed in honor of the occasion. Last Pennant in 'l7 Indianapolis has not won ft pennant since 1917, though close at times. In fact the Indians were In first place In 1924 until the final week’s play, when the Saints, the visiting team here today, defeated them in a series and captured the league flag. Other pennants won hy Indianapolis were in 1902 and 1908. Bush came close; perhaps Betzel can go over. Ambitious, aggressive and smart in baseball, Bruno Is well equipped to lead a winner. Washington Park officials arranged to seat about 10,000 for the opener. Only the boxes and the one regularly reserved section in the grand stand, between home and first base, were sold in advance. Some of the civic and fraternal organizations having blocks of seats reserved this afternoon follow: Passenger Traffic Club, Elks Club, Scottish Rite, Rotary Club, North Side Lions Club, Indianapolis Traffic Club, American Business Men’s Club and Gatling Gun Club.
