FANS IN EAST HAPPY AS WARM WEATHER USHERS IN SEASON
(By Associated Press) NEW YORK, April 12. Warm weather but overcast skies ushered, In the baseball season of 1922 here today.
Weather forecasts, however, brought cheering assurance to the fans of Man
hattan and Brooklyn that the elements
would not marHhe big day of the year for those who went to the polo
grounds to see the national league
teams of the two boroughs begin
hostilities.
Douglas or Nehf were the pitchers
considered as most likely to face the
barrier for the Giants, while "Dutch'
Ruether whose work had shown re markable form was looked upon as
the hurler for Brooklyn.
New York was without the services
of Frisch, second baseman, who was sent home from the south with an infected foot, but his place was taken by Rawlings. who, played a star game in the world's Beries last fall. Brooklyn presented her strongest line-up. High, the new Dodger shortstop, and Debarry, a catcher new to the Brooklyn uniform were the strange faces in the outfit commanded by Wilbert Robinson. Ruth Forced Out. The Yankees were in Washington to open the American league season. Babe Ruth weht to tho capitol city with hi3 teammates but had no hope of getting into the game, as the sentence of suspension passed on him by Judge Landis was holding firmly. Boston and Philadelphia were also ready for today's opening. The National league season was to be initiated in tho Quaker City by the Braves while Connie Mack's Athletics were in Boston to meet the Red Sox. Neither manager of the two major league . pennant winners of 1921 was predicting this year that his team will land in front but each forsees close and hard fought races. John J. McGraw. pilot of the Giants.
world's champions, believed his combination was a better one than last year's aggregation, but he said the "breaks" would determine the outcome. Heinle Groh has strengthened the team at third base but an injury to Frisch, the star second baseman, may detract for a time from the all-around Playing of the first defense. Johnny Rawlings, however, is not a poor substitute In McGraw's opinion. Yank's Crucial Perior. Miller Huggins, manager of the Yanks, champions of the American league, admitted that the five week3 los3 of Ruth and Meusel at the start of the season, would furnish a big handicap. With these two sluggers in the lineup, the team would be a stronger one than last year, as- Everett Scott, the shortstop obtained from Boston, had rounded it out, Huggns thought. The Yanks' crucial period, Hugging believed, would be the first five weeks. Wilbert Robinson, manager of tbe Brooklyn Dodgers, last year's fiith placer3 In the National league, expressed hopes he would be able to elevate his charges out of the second division Like McGraw and Huggins, Robbie was not making predictions. "I will say, though, that I have no pennant bee in my bonnet," he declared.
