NEW YORK, Apr. 19--Where, {and what in the world has happe

Those were the questions ask

|excitement to stir up the infant baseball season,

The Red Sox, those bumptious, have scored exactly one run in 18 innings off Yankee

and a not-so-grand total of just

‘eight sickly singles. And Konstanty, whose appearance on the mound last year automatically

sent the foe scurrying for cover, got rocked mercilessly as the Dodgers rallied to beat him and the Phillies. 4 to 3, in the ninth inning yesterday.

Lefty Ed Lopat, a steady but certainly not immortal pitchirg | individual, even had a no-hitter within his grasp for the Yankees against the Red Sox for six and a third innings yesterday, but settled for a glittering two-hit, 6 to 1 triumph. That one came on the heels of Vic Raschi's opening day six-hit, 5 to 0 shutout. Willlams Broke Ice

Not a Red Socker had gotten a hit until Ted Williams singled with one out in the seventh off Lopat. As is so often the case when the pressure goes off, Lopat then yielded a walk and a second single to Bobby Doerr That gave Boston its only run, but Lopat, acting almost redfaced about it stepped up and
