Big League 'Old' Men Off To Flying Start
Proving that the older generation of pitchers will not give way to the youngsters without a fight, six veterans stole the show in the first full day of major league play Tuesday by hurling their teams to victory.
Bob Feller was the "show stopper." Before the largest opening day crowd in major league history, 73,163, Feller pitched the Indians to a two-bit 4 to 0 victory over the Browns $^{+}$
at Cleveland. His battery mate, catcher Jim Hegan, led the 11-hit offensive support with three hits including a two-run homer.
A Repeat For Hal
Hal Newhouser, trying to come back after a disappointing season, pitched an eight-hit, 5 to 2 victory over the White Sox at Chicago, but victory didn't come until three successive singles, one by Hal himself, put across three runs in the ninth. However, Newhouser, now in his ninth year with the Tigers, got off to a fine start a year ago also, shutting out the Browns with four hits on opening day.
Sid Hudson, an eight-year man in big league seniority, led the revenge session in Washington in which the Senators got even with the Yankees for their humiliation before president Truman by scoring a 9 to 1 triumph. The Yankees got only five hits off Hudson, all singles. Washington got to Yankee starter, Ed Lopat, for five runs in the first inning, four on Tom McRidge's inside-the-park homer. The Nats made 12 hits.
To Third But Once
Murray Dickson, a nine-year man with the Cards, pitched masterfully in the pinches, though he gave up 10 hits in a 4 to 0 triumph over Cincinnati at St. Louis. The Reds got hits in every inning but only once did they get a man to third base.
That was in the ninth when he ended the ball game by striking out pinch hitter Augie Galan and Frankie Baumholtz, who had touched him for four straight hits. The Cards made 11 hits, four in the third when they got three runs. Enos Slaughter's triple and a wild pitch accounted for the final tally in the seventh.
Emil Leonard, 15 years of major league baseball on his page in the record book, cooled the hard-hitting Braves with six hits in a 3 to 1 triumph at Philadelphia. The Phil's new shortstop, Eddie Miller, hit a homer, a talent upon which he concentrates in the spring.
Out Of Retirement
"Rip" Sewell, granddaddy of the lot with 16 years as a major leaguer, wasn't even listed as a pitcher on the Pirate roster this year. But he came out of retirement as a coach and made manager Bill Meyer's Pirate debut in Pittsburgh a winning one by pitching a six-hit, 3 to 2 triumph over the Cubs, then rounding out a gala day by hitting a homer. Rookie Roman Bassall also hit a Pirate homer while Phil Cavaretta's two-run homer accounted for all the Chicago scoring.
The Dodgers came from behind to top the Giants at New York, 7 to 6, on a four-run seventh inning rally. A gift double by Jackie Robinson, which fell safely when "Whitey Lockman and rookie shortstop Bobby Rhawn collided, put over two of the runs. Billy Cox hit a two-run homer for Brooklyn and Walker Cooper and Jack Lohrike each hit for the route for New York.
George Getz and Charity Fischer were awarded first prize in the Archery club tournament. William Miller and Alice Myers, college freshman, received the second prize.
Getz, Fischer Win Archery Tourney
Scores of the tournament are as follows: Fischer, 287 points; Myers, 267 points; Getz, 403 points, Miller, 393 points; Robert Lemons, 387 points; William Bass, 318 points; William Wellborn, 299 points; Marvin Kimsey, 273 points; Louis Fields, 187 points; and Jack Piney, 155 points.
The annual spring tournament has been tentatively been scheduled for May 11. Gold and silver metals will be awarded.
Golf, Tennis Teams Win
In a six-hour match that was not decided until the final doubles match, the Kansas tennis teams squeezed out a 4-3 victory over Emporia State Teachers yesterday at Emporia. The Jayhawker golf team had an easier time, defeating the Hornet linksmen, $14\frac{1}{2}$ to $3\frac{1}{2}$.
Dave Cowley and Dick Cray, Jay- hawker doubles team, defeated Bob Emrich and C. V. Hanna, 8-6, 2-6, 6-3, to clinch the match.
6-3, to Timneh and Jim Clark had evened the match for the Hornets by nipping the Jayhawkers' combination of Hervey Masferran and Charlie Carson, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, in the first doubles match. Macfeerman Nosed Out
Jim Clark, Emporia's number one singles player, was extended to whip MacFerran in three sets, 6-1, 4-6, 6-4. Carson came from behind after a bad first set to trounce Emporia's Banz, 7-9, 6-1, 6-3.
Cray put on a courageous uphill fight to defeat Enrich, 4-6, 10-8, 6-1. Enrich had Cray at match point several times in the 18-game second set. Cowley defeated Hanna, 6-2, 6-2, in the only match that did not go three sets. Tholen, Emporia outlasted Don Medearis, 7-5, 0-6, 6-4.
Ashley Paces KU
Dick Ashley, although tied by Emporia's Larry Thornton in match play again paced the golfers with a blazing one-over par 73. Ashley also shared low-medal honors with Thornton. It was the third straight time Ashley has tried for medalist honors.
Hal Delongy ,Kansas, defeated Joe Turner, 3 to 0. In best ball match Ashley-Delongy defeated Tumer-Thornton, 3 to 0.
In the back foursome Bob Meeker nipped Wally Larson 2 to 1, and Courtland Smith mastered Bob Jones. $2\frac{1}{2}$ to $2\frac{1}{2}$ Meeker-Smith defeated Larson-Jones $2\frac{1}{2}$ to $2\frac{1}{2}$.
Coach Russ Sehon will send the subs against the first stringers tonight in a six-inning affair. Sehon said that Karl Ebel, extrackman, would be one of the starting pitchers, but he hasn't decided on the other starter.
The University baseball squad worked out under the lights in Municipal park Tuesday night in preparation for their night series with Kansas State at Manhattan next week. The two teams will play a two game series under the lights in Municipal park later in the season.
KU Tunes Up Under Lights
The Jayhawkers will be hosts to the Oklahoma Sooners Friday and Saturday. Coach Sehon plans to start Dick Gilman, big right hander, Friday and probably Johnny Dewell, right hander, Saturday with Guy Mabry on tap.
400 Boy Scouts See Relays

The scouts attended the Engineering exposition and a liquid air demonstration given by the chemistry department April 17. Following a luncheon, at which F. L. Charlton, scout executive from Kansas City spoke, the scouts attended the Kansas Relays as guests of the athletic department.
