THREE PITCHERS
UNABLE TO CHECK
PELICAN OUTFIT

NEW ORLEANS April co.-New Or
leans batted three Mobile pitchers hard
today and won the opening game of the
Southern association season on home
grounds by score of to 8. Acosto was
relieved in the second inning after he
had been touched up for three hits. which
netted the local team enough runs to win
the game. Walker steadied after the first
inning and kept the visitors hits well
scattered. The usual opening day cere-
monies preceded the game The official

men on base and Paul Schrieber
on the hill for Brooklyn. 1t
will be recalled that Schrieber
had famed Ruth six times and
walked him once during the
games in the south. The Yam
KEGS treated all three Dodger
pitch ers-Ruether, Schrieber
and Vines-in the same heartless
fashion. collecting a grand
total of twenty-five hits. The
weather was far from warm, and
possibly the Dodger hurlers
found this a disadvantage. But
strangely enough. Waite Hoyt
and George Pipgras, who shared
the pitching burden for the Yam
KEGS, found the frigid atmos-
phere no handicap.

The Yankees, making their
first 1928 appearance in the
home district, inflicted almost
every possible humiliation on
the Brooklyn Dodgers by plast-
ering them with a Is to de-
feat at Ebbets field. The affair
was scheduled as a contest be-
tween the two clubs. 1t scarce
ly was that. Babe Ruth, alone
with five hits and three runs in
SIX trips to the plate, accom-
plshed more than the entire
Flatbush outfit. 1t was the
Babes day. Perhaps the blow
to right in the fourth, with two
that brought the most satisfac-
ton to the Babe was his rap

Vernon Wins Opener

VERNON, Ala, April 2O.-(Special.)
The Vernon baseball team opened the

by the score Of 10-1. Vernon hopped
off to good start by capturing three
runs in the first inning, and added to
the total in the fifth and seventh,
while the visitors lone tally came in
the eighth. when Kelley threw wide
to first, allowing Paul to take second
after an easy bouncer from his bat,
and tallying on Graham's Texas
Lacquer over short.
Work will soon be under headwav
