ILWAUKEE, 1936 American Association pennant winner and Little World Series champ, is the first undisputed leader in the new race with two wins and ne losses. .'. All other clubs have tasted defeat... St. Paul, the pre-season pennant pick of the majority of scribes, has ‘been bumped off twice. . . Looks like Gabby Street will have to go on an early bender... And “despised” Louisville, the near-unanimous choice for last place already has begun to fool ’em, winning two and losing one. . . .
-. Mickey Heath, the former Indianapolis first sacker, con“nected for the circuit for Milwaukee yesterday. . . Six home
runs were hit in the 6-to-3 game. . . The Milwaukee park
is an ancient structure with the fences down the foul lines close in at 266 feet. . . Compared to 350 feet at Indianapolis’ Perry Stadium. They're off in the big leagues today in two cities and Patriots’ Day in Boston was to be celebrated with a split double-header, morning and afternoon. . . Paul Revere rides again. .. “The Phillies are coming!”. . . But it doesn’t mean anything to the Bees... In the American at Washington President Roosevelt was to make his annual toss of the first ball to send the Athletics against the Senators.

RANK TECH, Bedford's Grand Old Man of baseball, will be at the opener in Cincinnati tomorrow and it will be his 57th consecutive trip to the Queen City for a National League lid-lifter. ... Mr. Tech, retired at 74, is justly proud of his record and 1s iooking forward to another big day when the Cardinals and Reds tangle. . . . His brother, Edward Tech of North Vernon, has a record only one year less than that of Bedford's retired merchant. .. . Edward was prevented from establishing a record as long as his brother on account of being detained in Evansville while serving on a United States Grand Jury one spring. The flood of 1913 nearly snapped Frank Tech's record. . . . Direct railway connection between Bedford and Cincinnati was knocked out and the veteran rooter cast about for some means of reaching there in time for the opening game. . .. S0 he grabbed a Monen train to Louisville and then proceeded to| Cincinnati by the Louisville and Nashville.

‘Moves In for 3-Game Stand
Trio of Former Tribesters, With Visitors; Phillips Due on Mound.
Fred Haney’s Mud Hens of Toledo, strengthened by talent from Detroit and with a powerhouse in the gardens named Ed Coleman, giant otufielder from the St. Louis Browns, rolled up their artillery; at Perry Stadium today for a threegame stand with the hometown Redskins. . The gang from the Maumee has two of the Indians’ players of last year, ‘Buddy Bates in the outfield and Paul (Dizzy) Trout on the mound staff. Manager Haney is another ex-Hoosier of the class of |'28 when the Tribesters galloped to { the American Association pennant land Little World Series title. He was an ace third sacker, consistent hitter and an artist on the base paths. The Hens are just up from Louisville where the Colonels made their faces red by taking .two out of three. It was “ladies’ day” at the ball park this afternoon, the first of the season for the feminine fans. Game time was 2:30. After the current series, ending on Wednesday, the Indians will go to Toledo to open the home season there on Thursday, remain three days and then go to Columbus. Clarence (Red) Phillips, husky right-hander, was expected to pitch for the Indians today in the starter against the Hens.
Baffled by Cooper
| After winning the season opener ion Saturday, 5 to 0, over the Red | Birds of Columbus, the Killeferites | lost their punch with men on bases yesterday and Burt Shotton’s Bucks evened the count by winning, 5 to 1. Morton Cooper kept the Indians baffled in the pinches and nine were left stranded on base. However, it-was a blunder by the veteran Emmett Nelson that caused the downfall of the Tribe. Jimmy Sharp blanked the visitors for five innings with two hits, but lost his bearings in the sixth and issued three walks. Then with the sacks loaded and one out Nelson was | called from the bullpen to take the | mound. |
Prout bounced a fast one straight
into Nelson's glove and it was a

the Tribe chucker thrown to Catcher Lewis for a force at the plate, who in turn would have had plenty of (time to get the batter at first. But i Nelson tossed the leather to first

the Phillies and Bees remaining idle. As the 16 clubs make ready the outlook may be summed up as follows: 1. A big upswing in attendance. 2. A year filled with surprises. 3. A new name in baseball—Bob Feller, 18-year-old Iowa farm boy who promises to make pitching history. 4. A keen struggle New York's two champions, Yankees and Giants.
31,000 See Feller
All indications point to a big year at the box-office. The Giants played to their largest exhibition | crowd in history yesterday when Bob Feller and Carl Hubbell engaged in a mound duel before 31,486 at the Polo Grounds. The Yankees and Dodgers played to 17,000 at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn. Nearly 210,000 were expected for tomorrow’s openers, with the YanksSenators game at Yankee Stadium likely to draw 50,000, the day's biggest throng. Betting odds have established the Yankees and Cardinals favorites. The world champion Yanks are even money to repeat in the American League and the odds are 8-5 on the Cards to dethrone the Giants. : There may be trouble ahead for
to dethrone the
both favorites. Already Lady Luck has turned her back on the Yanks. Red Ruffing, who led the club last year with 20 victories, is a bitter holdout. He vows he will not sign for a cent less than $16,000, one grand more than Col, Jake Ruppert offers. Joe Di Maggio, sparkplug of last year’s champions, is abed following a tonsil and adenoid operation. He may not play for three weeks. Lou Gehrig has a mysterious ailment on his left hand, and hasn’t played for three days. He'll probably play tomorrow to protect his consecutive game record now at 3505 games, but his hand needs more rest. The Cardinals may be highly overrated. Their infield is a problem,
Paul Dean’s comeback is a big ques-
tion mark. The catching staff is uncertain and the team lacks power, The Yanks’ leading rivals seem to be Detroit, with Hank Greenberg and Mickey Cochrane back in the lineup; Cleveland, with its wagon
hitched to Feller’s star, and Wash- |
ington, the team Vice President Garner says to watch. .
Club Race
The National League looks like a five-club race, with the
Cards, |
Giants, Cubs, Pirates and Reds in |
k noc k-down-and-drag-out battle,
The Giants, considered lucky to |
win: last year, apparently have a better club. The Cubs have fine bhal=
|
ance between pitching and power. The Pirates have power plus. The Reds have youth and hustle. In all baseball history there never has been a meteoric rise to match . Bob Feller’s skyrocket to fame. This 18-year-old high school boy has stepped right into the national spotlight in a few months. He pitched his first game for Cleve~ land in midseason last year. His blinding speed marked him as a second Walter Johnson.
