Toledo edged Indianapolis last night, 4 to 3, both sides using two pitchers. The Indians employed Dave Odom and Harry Kelley, and the Hens used John Whitehead and Cliff Fannin. “The contest was on the ragged side and lasted 2 hours 21 minutes. It was the first ladies night and total attendance was 2356, Paid attendance was approximately 1300. The teams committed three errors apiece and Odom issued six walks in his seven-inning hitch. However, Tribe errors figured in three of Toledo's four runs, and young Joe Aliperto, Tribe secondsacker; had a bad night. occasions he neglected to cover the base with putouts in sight. but since he is just off the St. Paul sandlots, 17 years old, it would be too much

By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 22. — Two Georgia farmers, Ace Townsend Adams of the Giants and Whitlow Wyatt of the Dodgers, viewed the new baseball season with vastly different emotions today, both mindful that the game in which they pitched against each other yestérday may mark the turning point in their careers. For Adams, the busiest relief pitcher in the history of modern baseball, it was a day of elation.

Kreevich's Two Homers Spark Fourth Victory.
NEW YORK, April 22 (U. P)— The St. Louis Browns, supposedly shy on pitching talent, were the only unbeaten team in the American league today, and only one of their four victorious starters has needed help from a relief hurler, It would be presumptious and premature to label the Browns as contenders on their performance to date, but in most pre-season ratings they were regarded as a strong and seasoned combine, lacking only in first class pitchers. Manager Luke Sewell is an able handler of hurlers and with proper rotation of his starters, may be able to get more out of them than anyone had anticipated. In addition to his four winners to date, Jack Kramer, Steve Sundra, Sig Jakucki, and Nelson Potter, he has one of the best relief pitchers in the business, George Caster and one or two other likely starters,
Kreevich Hits 2 Homers Potter, backed up by two homers from the bat of Outfielder Mike Kreevich, gave the Browns a 5 to 3 home opening victory over the White Sox yesterday before an inaugural crowd of 2021. The Giants kept their perfect record intact in the National, defeating Brooklyn in the Dodgers’ home opener 3 to 2, with Ace Adams’ in the role of a starting pitcher. Adams kept the Dodgers from scoring until the seventh, when leaky fielding permitted Dixie Walker to dribble a double that scored both their runs. The Giants went after Whitlow Wyatt in the first inning, and he retired after yielding a rum, complaining of arm trouble. Cards’ Third Shutout Left-hander Harry Brecheen gave the Cardinals their second ‘shutout in three games, doling out only four hits to spoil the Cubs’ home opener 4 to0, Martin Marion hit a homer for the Cards in the eighth. Cincinnati won its third game in four starts, getting good pitching from Joe Beggs, who was steady all the way in beating the Pirates at Pittsburgh 4 to 2. A crowd of 11,377 opening day fans saw Truett (Rip) Sewell, a 21-game winner last year, fail in his 1944 initial start Pat Seerey, Cleveland Indians outfielder, got the longest left-field homer ever hit in 12 years at the Municipal stadium in the Indians’ opening home game, a T-to-4 vice tory over the Detroit Tigers.
