A's Win Home Opener, Defeat Detroit, 6-2
Kansas City, Mo.—(U.P.)—The Kansas City A's called on Arnold Portocarrero today in the second game of their opening series against Detroit, after a rousing 6-2 victory over the Tigers in yesterday's opener.
Against Portocareroi (9-18), Detroit Manager Bucky Harris sent Steve Gromek (18-16) to set up a battle of right-handers for what was expected to be the second capacity crowd in two days.
The infectious enthusiasm of Kansas City fans and the spirit of the A's playing for the first time in their new home caught up with Detroit ace Ned Garver in the sixth inning yesterday.
Until the roof cave in, he and southpaw Alex Kellner were locked 2 to the catheter Red Wilson's home over the hole in Detroit. It shu-lied deadlock
The A's big sixth started with Bill Renna's ringing double to left. Bill Wilson, who had a perfect three-for-three day, walked and Joe Demaestri grounded to third. Joe Astro't walked and then pinch-hitter Elmer Valo walked, forcing in Renna. Pinch-hitter Doll wegw shot a single to right, scoring Wilson and Astro't.
Wilson made it look good with a
welcome but unneeded humor in the
book.
Kellner gave up five hits in his six-inning stand but he was equal to every emergency. He fanned four and walked one.

Netmen Prep For Nebraska
After a 10-day lay off, the varsity tennis team resumed daily practice sessions yesterday.
Retaining third spot on the tennis "ladder," Don Franklin defeated Phil Rein, 6-2 6-1, to stop the eager sophomore in the fourth spot.
Rein will play Delmont Hadley at 4 p.m. today on the stadium courts to determine the fourth and fifth spots.
The loser of that match will play the winner of the match scheduled between Bob Ferguson and Dave Edwards, who will be playing for the sixth and seventh spots.
Dave Kane, still in the second spot, will play Bob Riley, who seems to have a tenacious hold on the first rung, at 4 p.m. today.
Kane defeated Franklin just before Easter vacation, 6-3 6-3, to keep his second place spot. The loser of today's Kane-Riley match will play Franklin.
Bruce Wenger, who defeated Ralph Kelley, 6-2-1, before vacation, will play the winner of the Ferguson-Ewards match.
Coach Dick Mechem said yesterday that the "squid will be cut to 10 men next week; then it will be cut to six men the following week."
The team's first match is set for Saturday, April 23, against Nebraska, on the Stadium courts.
Paul W. Williamson, one of the founders of the Mid-Winter Sports association which sponsors the annual Sugar Bowl football game, died in New Orleans yesterday.
Moody, Blasi To Miss Game; Join Thinclads
Kansas' spring football squad will probably be minus two potential starters, letterman halfback Ralph Moody and letterman tackle Gene Blasi, when they meet Coach Ray Evans' alumni squad Saturday afternoon. The two will travel to Oklahoma A&M with Coach Bill Easton's track team for a dual meet with the Aggies.
Moody, who sped to a : 09.8 clocking in the hundred last Saturday, will enter the sprint events, and Blasi will enter the shot and discuss.
Football Coach Chuck Mather said that Moody would probably be replaced by freshman Dave Feller, with sophomore Jim Hull moving into Blasi's spot. Mather sent the squad through a passing drill, with additional emphasis on line play, as the Jayhawks readied themselves for the fifth annual Varsity-Alumni game.
Mather said his probable starting lineup would include Jim Lecavits and Lynn McCarthy at the ends, Frank Gibson and Hull at the tackles, Bob Krause and Dudley Budrich at the guards, and Frank Black at center.
The starting quarterback is still undecided, with veteran Bev Buller and freshman Wally Strauch in contention. The other backfield members will include Feller and John Francisco at halfbacks, with Jerry Baker at fullback.
The status of regular halfback Dick Blowey is in doubt, as he has joined the baseball squad and will not practice football this week.
Garnett to Play Saturday
Shadrack Garnett, first string defensive tackle at KU in 1949 and 1950 has signed to play in the alumni game Saturday afternoon. Garnett is finishing up his degree after returning from the service.
