LOCAL NINES READY FOR OPENERS

3 0,000 *TO VIEW A. A. TILTS Pennant Race in Association Circuit Expected to Be Close. B n United Press KANSAS CITY", Mo., April 12. Thirty thousand and more fans today crowded baseball parks of four American Association cities, while other thousands back in the other four towns watched the bulletin boards as the circuit opens its 192 V season. At least 30,000 spectators were expected at Columbus, Ohio, where the Kansas City Blues play; at Toledo, where the Milwaukee Brewers meet the Mudhens; at Indianapolis, where the Saints from St. Paul will lead off, and at Louisville, where the championship Colonels start their season against Minneapolis. The pennant race in the A. A. this season will be close, in the opinion of followers of the league, and this factor, brought nearly sold-out bleachers for the preliminary series, despite adverse weather reports. . * Fans have been watching the f spring training camps more closely than before and record breaking crowds are expected in all parks foi the season. i The Colonels —for two years the pennant bearers —are again favorite to win this year. A strong defense and a slugging offense-are contributors to this, but there are seveal more clubs who will push the Colonels hard before the season ends. Pennant hopes in the Association, however, for today are subordinated as the fans gather at the parks, around newspaper offices, bulletin boards and radios to gather the inning by inning accounts. It is opening day, the big day of baseballdom, and the far-off end of the pennant race is for the time being subordinated to the all-powerful thrill of waiting for the first cry of “play ball'’ for the 1927 season.
