LUNDQUIST, United Press CORK, Apr. 19—Against trouble, baseball muscled nto, the forefront today and were Amer-

jcans glad Cincinnati Reds instead of the

“great game. of in politics. As it ‘nas been in the past, the major league baseball season offered weary citizens an B_sscape from realities a little too grim and it was significant that President Truman himself took time off from official duties to throw out the first ball in Washington. {7 Writers Back Favorites Big league baseball writers, playing it close to the vest, backed, the favorites today and tabbed the New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals as the two teams most likely to meet in the 1948 World Series. Sixty-three writers out of 96 selected the Yankees to repeat in the American League and 42 designated the Cardinals 5 the National League. Voting in the annual pre-sea-son United Press poll, 27 writers thought the Yankees and Cardinals would be World Seriés ivals in October, while 20 chose the Yankees to oppose the Boston Braves. The consensus of the writers follows:

being led. ' Yanks Play Senators In Washington, the world champion New York Yankees were out to give the Senators an election year trimming, before 35,000 and they figured to do it without. too much trouble. Howver, there was one possible omplication. All during the off-season the Yankees tried to get pitcher [Early Wynn from the Senators to holster their staff. They will get im all right, probably for nine nnings and if the shifty right hander is in form he might shade he big Creek Indian, Allie Reynlds, who drew the inaugural pitching assignment for New Work.

That takes care of everybody but the Browns, They open their home season in St. Louis on Saturday and it looks as if they put it off as long as possible.
