KANSAS CITY CLUB
PICKED TO REPEAT
BY WILLIAM WEEKES,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

~HICAGO, April 15.-The full
sized opening Of major league
y base ball seasons today was
business Of secondary impor-
lance to eight Middle Western cities
whose entrants face the campaign for
the twenty-ninth annual championship
Of the American Association and a spot
in the little world SERIES"
The Kansas City Blues, winner of the
1929 pennant and conqueror Of RocheS-
ter of the International League in the
minor league championship series, was
scheduled to open up at indianapolis,
picked by experts to finish second this
season. Edward (Dutch) Zwilling, pi-
lot of the Blues, entered he battle with
a club little damaged by losses and
apparently strengthened In reserve
power.
indianapolis headed into the cam
paign under a new manager, Johnny
(Red) Corriden, successor to Albert
(Bruno) Bethel. The Indians, improved
by trades, appear to be set to give
kansas City trouble all season.
st. Paul, runner-up to Kansas City
last year, but almost dtSmantled by
deals which sent seven stars up for
major league LlalS, WAS 8C COLUMBUS
for the inaugural day. The Saints,
like Indianapolis, will work under new
management, Eugene Hargrave having
been replaced by Lefty Leif1eld.
Columbus is stronger than last sea-
son, but Is without several stars Of last
season. Manager Memo Leibold again
has plenty of hitting power, but Is
hopeful of picking up another inf1elder
and couple Of capable pitchers.
Milwaukee, opening at Louisville,
was hopeful of first division berth
during Marty Berghammer'S first full
season as manager. The acquisition Of
Ginger Shinault, q seasoned catcher
who worked for Columbus last season,
patched up one big weak spot, but only
time will tell how the pitching will be.
Rosy Ryan was to start against the
Colonies.
Manager AL Sothoron has shifted
things about at Louisville and starts
team which appears considerably faster,
but still shy Of batting strength.
At Minneapolis Mike Kelley has made
sharp revision in his battle front, hav.
ing let 60 veterans to gain speedy
youngsters. He named q newcomer
among his pitchers, Delmar Lundgren,
to start againt Toledo at Toledo today.
Toledo, with q f1ne outfeld and Q big
staff Of veteran pitchers, was aiming
much higher than the bottom Of the
list, where 1t finished last season.

ND KING BASE BALL
whose adventurous career
Y J offers one Of the best IL
Illustrations of the difficult
ty of keeping a good man down,
returned to the sport throne to-
day to rule for the next six
months.
His reign may be threatened,

he still will be holding the reins
as October makes its bow and
pigSkinS begin to fly through the
air to herald the approach Of his
successor, his majesty College
Foot Ball.
Representing the mobiles of the base
ball realm, the 16 clubs Of the major
leagues all faced the opening Of the
new season with hope and a few with
confidence.
So far as two clubs In the American
League are concerned, the of1cial open
ing already is a thing of the past. The
Boston Red Sox, slated for last place
in the advance dope, gained the honor
Of leading the league for at least one
day by beating Washington, 4 to 8, at
the National Capital yesterday as Presi-

AS and Cubs Favored.
The Red Sox's triumph, however, was
not enough to make the experts alter
their forecasts that the Philadelphia
Athletics again would win the American
League title and battle the Chicago
Cubs, National League champions, IN
the world series next Fall.
Granted fair weather. total Of a
quarter of q million spectators planned
to see the eight games on todays
schedule. In the American League the
New York Yankees were to open against
the Athletics at Philadelphia, st. Louis
at Detroit, Cleveland at Chicago and
washington at Boston. In the National
League the Cubs were to play at st.
Louis, Boston at New York, Pittsburgh
at Cincinnati and Philadelphia at
Brooklyn.
In the American League the Athletics
expect to md their greatest opposition
trott also to be feared. The Yankees
still have Babe Ruth, at $4,000 year,
but must experiment with two rockies,
Chapman at third base and Cooke in
left field where Bob Meusel used to
roam.
In the National League the fight
seems to lie among the Cubs, Pittsburgh
Pirates and New York Giants. The
Pirates, however, have lost Burleigt
Grimes and are experiencing their usual
hard luck with injuries and sickness
while the Giants have q big question
mark at second base.

nearly $4,000 customers, repre-
senting every strata of society,

to see the curtain lifted and they
were treated to a good show, al
though the great majority natur-
ally were somewhat disappointed
that Dame Fortune should see fit
to frOwn on the Nationals, while
smiling at the Red SOx.
From the time President Hoover
set such q bad example for the
athletes by uncOrking his second
wild pitch in as many years un-
til the final put-0ut the contest
was damned full of interest and
there were points at which thrills
Of a world series brand were pro-
duced.
Although BOStOn'S new mana
ger, Charles (Heinie) Wagner, put
on the field practically the same
team that wound up at the bot
tom of the list last season, the
man who performed so brilliantly
at ShOrtst0p for the Hose back in
the days when they were winning
pennantS and world champion
ships demonstrated he has in

prove a thorn in the side of more

Mats Strong Defensively.
So far as the Nationals are con-
cerned the preseason dope that
they would be effective at the
business of holding the other
fellows to few runs was fully
borne out, if the opener can be
taken as a criterion, but so, also
was the fear they would prove
deficient on the attacking side.
One of the three bingleS they
grouped in the initial frame to
register their first tally, that by
Cronin, was a scratchy affair, and
so was the two-ply blow by Mar
berry that produced their other
brace of TALES in the sixth.
On three other occasions the
stage was set for them to go into
the business of manufacturing
runs, but when these opportun-
tiles were offered the local per-
formers were not equal to the
task Of evolving timely bingles at
the expense Of MacFayden and
Smith, who collaborated in the
box for the visitors.
Two of the hardest hit balls OF
the battle proved to be Just sc

hit from Cronin at the start of the
seventh inning, George Smith, Mac
Fayden's successor, also retired the first
two Nationals up in the ninth. Then
Sammy West, who three successive
times had been famed by MacFayden
when mates were on the runway, sur
prisingly crashed a double against the
right-fleld fence. Sam Rice drew a
pass and with the crowd roaring for

plate The Goose tried valiantly,
knocking some healthy fouls. Then he
swung against one of Smiths pitches
and drove the ball to deep center.
Oliver, however, reached high above his
head for sparkling catch and Wash

pionship game of the year.
