launched their bid for the 1948 American Association pennant with a 4-2 triumph over the Kansas City Blues, last year's champs. This picture was snapped during the second inning of the opener with Pitcher Jim Bagby at bat and shows the third base segment of the huge opening night crowd.
Along ‘with three other clubs, the Indiandpolis Indians are leading the league. The home boys really put on a show in the American tion opener at Victory Field last night, trounced the Kansas City Blues) the defending champs, 6 to 2, and gave every indication that ‘they are an aggressive, hustling ball club. y And so it comes down to the second of the series tonight, with Edson Bahr, down from Pittsburgh, slated to toe the rubber for the Tribe against the crestfallen pastimers from Kansas City.

customers were entertained by a variety of baseball furnished by. the rival clubs. The contest contained about everything, singles, doubles, a triple, two homers, a stolen base, double plays, a player caught napping and a player victimized by the old hidden-ball trick. Jim Bagby worked the route for Indianapolis and held the Blues to five hits. He issued five walks but also got three strike-

fans. The Indians jumped out in front in the opening canto when 8 Fleming belted a two-run, 365foot homer and they never were headed. . The dashing, red-hot Redskins had one or more runners on base except in the third and fourth. In addition to tallying six runs, they collected 10 hits and five were for extra bases. They played erroriess ball in the field and executed two double plays. Three for Saffell Husky Les Fleming, the first sacker, walloped a double in addition to that first-inn homer. Tom Saffell, the rookie center fielder, hit three singles and stole a base, Fleming scored twice and batted in two runs. | Ted Beard, the speed merchant in right field, lined out a two-run triple in the sixth and it was a dandy, all the way ‘to the right field corner. He also scored two runs himself.
