GROVE, BAGBY START SEASON
 WITH SHUTOUTS
Foes Unable 10 Score in 2 Games Cincy Pitch-
 CTS Also Show Class
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

bY GEOKGE KlRKSEY
 United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York;, April 19.-(UP)-Two victories are a long way from a pennant but two straight shutouts shout out loud that maybe the Bos- ton Red Sox pitching staff isn't as feeble as the experts riding the Yankee bandwagon judged it to be.
 TWO games, two victories, two shutouts-that's the record the Red Sox had as they moved home to open the season today in first place. Jim Bagby, a chip off the old block, followed up Lefty Groves opening day shutout by blanking Washing ton again yesterday, 70, allowing only five hits.
 Joe Cronin came north banking on Jim Bagby to be one of the Red Sox's big winners and his form yesterday indicates that the tall right handed son of the old Cleve- land pitcher learned his les- son last season when he was dis ciplined for getting fresh with the Red Sox boss. Now he's likely to live up to his 1888 promise when he won IS games as a freshman. With Grove as his once-a-week ace, and Bagby as the mainstay of his big four Cronin now will seek his other three regulars to challenge the Yan- kee dynasty from among Woody Rich, Denny Galehouse, Emerson Dickman, Herb Hash, Bill Rutland, Jack Wilson and Fritz Ostermuel- Ter. And they aren't the buns the Yankee supporters try to make them out.
 Home Run CIouters
 Charlie Gehringer and Hank Greenberg touched off the Detroit powerhouse with their lethal bats and the Tigers won their first game by beating the Browns, Az. Green berg hit 8 homer with Gehringer on base and tripled with Campbell aboard. Gehringer's homer account cd for the other run. Tommy Bridges had the better of Vernon Kennedy although each allowed only seven hits.
 The strength of the Cincinnati pitching staff was borne out again yesterday when Gene Thompson, Reds sophomore, outdueled Claude Passeau to give the National league champs their second straight vic- tory over the Cubs, 2-1. He blanked the Cubs until the ninth, and then with the tying and winning runs on base he snapped over three called strikes on Hank Lieber and famed pinch- hitter Bill Nicholson to end the game. ...
 The Reds broke a scoreless tie in the eighth when Ernie Lombardi was hit by a pitched ball, and rookie Mike Mccormick and Billy Myers rapped out doubles.
 Cold weather and rain prevented the other five games. The second major league openings on tap for today also may run into forbidding weather as cold and rain is predicted in several cities. The world cham pion Tanks will stage their open CT against the Senators at Yam kee stadium but have a counter attraction across the river at Eb- bets field, where the two arch-rivais, the Dodgers and Giants, are likely to outdraw them.

TODAY'S ~ SPORT
 PARADE
BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent

(Un1Ceu fFeSS SGdH OOEfcSpONucnGJ
 New York, April 19.-(UP)- Brooklyn today was mecca for con- noisseurs of baseball openings.
 Just as art lovers make pilgrim ages to the Uff1zi galleries and music lovers travel to the Metropolitan Opera, those who appreciate the very best in opening games make it a point to be in Brooklyn when the Dodgers first play host to the New York Giants.
 The game itself is incidental, serv- ing only as an excuse for some 35 ,000 people to release their grip on req son, shed their sanity, and enjoy two or three hours of good, wholesome giddiness.
 Cincinnati, Detroit, Boston, Cleve- land and other of the major league cities stage substantial and stylish baseball openings, but they aren't in a class with Brooklyn. The good burghers of that borough put on a show that, in many ways, won't be matched until we see what the first minutes marking the end of the world are like. And even then some of Brooklyn's stuff probably will have been borrowed. Some of the sound effects, most likely.
 It should reach a peak today, for more reasons than one. In the first place the Giants are the opposing team and nothing SO incites a Brooklyn citizen like the sight of New York Giant. Wild Indians could troop across the Brooklyn Bridge, or even Martians armed with zap-zap guns, without creating the stir that the invasion of men wearing gray flannel suits with New York stitched on their chests does.
 Contempt
 One might think that having seen these same Giants year after year the Brooklyns would take them in stride. But such is not the case. Fa- miliarity has really bred contempt and hate in this case, and the first Giant who shows his noggin in Eb- bets Field will get the same greeting, only more so, that John McGraW and his boys did years ago.
 There isn't any way to adequately describe the Brooklyn greeting to the opposing team on opening day. Perhaps the best way to convey a picture of what happens is to say that 1t offers a complete preview of 1940 models in firecrackers, cow bells, sirens, kazoos, razzberries, in- suits, groans, growls and general disorder. Even the rudest Hatfield or Mccoy would consider it an im- polite greeting.
 As I said, the opening this year should be the best of long line of good ones. Not only will the Giants be there, but the Brooklyns will be doubly excited because, after many years, they have a right to feel that their team has g. chance to win the National League pennant. Even dur ing those years when the Dodgers were so sorry that no choosy cat would have dragged them in, and they finished as close to the cellar as they could without infringing on the riparian rights of the Phillies, their fans gave them rousing SUD- port. Now, with a team better than that one that finished 8 bang-up third last year, their enthusiasm is likely to know no bounds, unless it be out of bounds. '
