WIPE OUT L|CK|NGS
/. IN OPENING GAMES
YANKEES Sox, Giants -Phils
and Robins Braves Hope
to Get Started Today.
BY WILLIAM J. CHAPMAN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

TIME East gradually is thawing out,
and the scheduled base ball
openings along the Atlantic sea-
Il board may yet be held, as wit
ness the promising start In
Washington yesterday.
While the Nationals were taking their
1874 inaugural licking from the Mack
men, the Yankees were announcing their
second postponement with word that
everything possible would be done to
put on the opening game today. The
Red SoX OF Boston have been within
arms length of the exasperated Yankees
for 40 hours. now. and have not yet lost
a game, which will stand as Red Sox
record for some time to come.
The Detroit Tigers poured neat dose
of shellac down the Threats Of the
Cleveland Indians to the tune of IS to 3,
Notwithstanding Mr. Earl Averill's Sec
ond home run in two days of major
league effort. The San Francisco strong
man now leads both leagues in circuit
blows, regardless Of anything Mr.. Ruth
may do to alter the situation In games
to come.
Dan Howley urged his st. Louis troop
on to its second straight triumph over
the White Sox in the remaining Amer
lean Leagues skirmish. The score was
5 to 8. Alvin Crowder out-pitched
Grady Adkins and George Connally.
As rain prevented the Giant opening
at Philadelphia, and mercifully spared
the countryside whatever might have
happened between the Braves and The
Robins at Boston, the National League
spotlight remained upon Wrigley Field.
The full power Of Cub bats, diverted
from Grimes head until too near the

Remy Kremer where IL hurt yesterday.
The result was a Pirate rout, IS to 2.
Kremer recovered first inning as
sault, consisting of double by Wilson
and home run by Stephenson 50 mix
ed with three passes that five runs
resulted, but Grimm poked another one
out of the lot on him in the fourth.
The Frenchman gave way to . pinch
runner, and Steve Swetonic escaped
with only one run marked against him
in two innings, which may become
something of record If the Cubs con-
tinue on the warpath.
Fred Russell gave up a run In the
seventh, but had the satisfaction OF
tanning the great Rogers Hornsby with
the bases filled. The eighth was q Diff
ferent story. Malone. Beck and Cuyler
filled the bases with singles, and Horns
by promptly emptied then by means Of
home run into the right field steer
age, where the passengers had been
chanting Bronx cheer for him only
one inning earlier.
Perez Malone, the Irishman with q
name which would not have been al
lowed in base ball two decades back,
relented to the extent of two runs In
the ninth, but Donnie Bush and his
Buccaneers got precious little comfort
from them.
The Reds came to life against Willie
Sherdel at Cincinnati, and evened mat
8 to 8 Jim Bottomley collected his
first home run of Pete Donohue, who
held the invaders safe all afternoon.

There was some silver lining to

some concern.
But the most cheerful note struck

is a well established fact that one OF
the most difficult feats in base ball
is to stop team on hitting ram
page, but that is just what Liska did
yesterday in manner that would
have done credit to veteran.
This 22-yedr old recruit from Min
nedpolis came on the scene after
f0e innings in Which the slugoing
Mncknaeft had Tnted the slGnts OF
Jones and BrdTton for II hits and
a total OF ~ bases. and stopped
them cold.
In the four frames he officiated
nothing that resembled q bingle was
recorded of him. He was GOODNESS
personified and, employing the same
underhand method for every deliv-
cry. mixed speed with hooks and a
change Of pace in manner that
promises much for his success in his
first season under the main tent.

Four hits, three of them doubles. and
q pass were cleaned on the fork-hand-
er's delivery in the third round and
they were good for four tallies. Three of
these four runs crossed after two were
out. The AS did their scoring early
in round four. Then Hale opened pro-
ceedines with single and tailed ahead

the open stand back Of left field for

But for q wild chuck by Judge, the
Macks would have gone scoreless in
the NTH instead of cfalking up two
markers, their last of the game. Two
were out and runner on second base
when Haas grounded to the Nationals
first baseman. Braxton hustled across
to cover the sack, but Judges toss was
wide and went by the pitcher. That let
Bishop count and hard double by

IF Walter Johnson and the
PLAYERS he is boSsing were
as faint hearted as some OF
L their alleged supporters it
is assured the Nationals would
get nowhere in the American
League pennant race that
opened so inauspiciously yes
terday.
The Griffmen were beaten,
most emphatically, too, in
their delayed start against the
Athletics, but defeats are just
as much a part Of base ball as
victories and the fans who
SQuawk because everything
doesn't 60 their way all the
time are in the same class with
the tinhorn gamblers who
never bet except on what they
believe to be a sure thing.
It was unfortunate, Of course,
that the poorest exhibition
made by the Nationals since
they started playing games
more than a month ago should
have been reserved for the
inaugural of the championship
campaign before President
Hoover and some 10000 other
fans, but the sarcastic cheers
accorded the Nationals when,
in the sixth inning, they finally
contrived for the first time to
prevent the AS from scoring
was wholly inexcusable.
In view of the consistently good
slab performances given by Jones
and Braxton during the FIVE weeks
of exhibition base ball against as
sturdy opposition, on the whole, as
will be encountered in the title
chase, their total lack of effective
ness Yesterday was particularly dis
appointing, but 1t was not noces-
sarily significant.
The best OF pitchers--and both OF
them are entitled to this rating
haze of days, and toh1t they did,
or, rather. jailed to do, In the cur
tdin-rGiser safely may be dismissed
on this score. 1t is more than likely
q different story 1UiH be NnfoLdeG
iDhen they make their merit appear
Gnce.
1t is typical Of Walter johnson
that he has no alibis to offer for
the poor showing his team made at
the iEmp-off. When Barney was
starring ON the mound for the Ma
tionaIs over period Of two decades
he had lean days as well as fat
ones, but It is not recorded that he
ever had any excuses to offer when
defeat was his portion.
walter might have said that the
cold and rainy weather that per-
sisted for several days prior to the
opening and, in fact, delslyed it one
day, took the edge OF Jones, who q
week ago appeared to be his best
conditioned moundsman. Or he
might have mentioned that Brax-

 ALONE AT FOX BAY
L. L. Bales, for over 40 year

l.. l.. Bales, for over 40 years A resident of the Territory with the exception of the past few years, died about December 15 at Fox Bay, better known as Bales Landing, about 20 miles this side of Sand Point. The body was taken to Kodiak on the s. s. Starr, where interment was to be made.
 NIT. Bales, who in 1904 was in charge of the Alaska exhibit at the Worlds Fair at San Fran cisco, was undoubtedly one of the best known of oldtimers in the Territory, came up from the Outside just a few weeks ago go- ing Westward on the s. s. Starr to his former home where he i'm tended to establish a reindeer business.
 He was in ill health upon leav- ing the vessel, 1t is said, but he fatty refused to stay aboard in- sisting he put ashore at his des- tination piont; this was done. Oh the southbound trip the Starr again made Fox Bay and off cers going ashore found the aged gentleman dead in his sleeping bag. He apparently had passed away peacefully and had been dead, 1t was thought, about four or five days
