BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

Having shed their mourning veil
and won their first game in Amerl-
can League competition, the Ma
tionals returned to Griffith Stadium
today to tackle the new Philadelphia
Athletics for the first time. And,
for Manager Bucky Harris, it was
an occasion for a grim crossing OF
the fingers.
The Mats finally won ball game,
beating the Red Sox by a 9-to-6
score Yesterday in the Hub, or Little
America, but they didn't win in the
way that Harris liked. After having
pitched Dutch Leonard (twice), Sid
Hudson and Ken Chase, the pilot
of the Mats tried another OF his
starters, Joe Haynes. s.
Like all of the rest, Haynes
couldn't win. Joe lasted four and
one-third innings and was led away
in weird, loosely pitched ball
game. In the end young waiter
Masterson, never seriously con-
sidered in Bucky's pitching plans,
was the hero and winner OF the
Mats first game in five starts.
Today promised to be a more or
less momentous event because it
was to mark the debut of Joe Kra-
kauskas last of Harris starters. If
Joe can't win the Mats are In bad
shape, not that everything is exactly
utopian at the moment.
Harris was bitterly disappointed
on several occasions during the
Eastern tour completed yesterday.
He was disappointed when Ken
Chase failed to last two innings
against the Yankees. He was dis
appointed to see Hudson beaten
and knocked out of the box in
Washington. And yesterday he was
more than annoyed when Haynes,
after pitching three fine innings,
blew up in the fourth and fifth
frames and had to be led away.
Now it's Krakauskas' turn. If
Joe can deliver today against the
Athletics, things won't be so bad.
Harris knows that Leonard, despite
his ineffective performance the
other day in Boston, can pitch
winning ball. With Krakky to go
along with him, Bucky can choose
from among Hudson, Haynes, Chase
and the rest for his other two
starters.
Meanwhile Harris is in a mood
to gamble. He showed it yesterday
when he yanked Rick Ferrell from
the lineup and put Rookie AL Evans
behind the plate against Lefty
Grove. The young backstop re-
sponded with a single and a double
in three trips to the plate.
Today, if a right-hander pitches
for the Athletics, Bucky was to use
Jake Early, a left-handed hitter
behind the plata Harris believes
the recruits will outhit the veteran,
Ferrell, and apparently he intends
to give them every possible chance
to prove it.

Maryland's relay squad will put Its
best foot forward in the distance
medley relay at the Penn Relays
tomorrow, Coach "Swede" Eppley
said today, and will shoot the works
Saturday in gamble for whatever
laurels it can get.
Georgetown, meanwhile, is banking
on Al Blozis for the shotputting
championship and whatever prestige
accompanies it, but the Hoyas' mile
relay teams, varsity and freshmen,
apparently are in over their heads.
New York University's brilliant team
and Pittsburghs defending cham
pions appear too strong for Hap"
Hardens crew.
Alan Miller, Jim Kehoe, Tom
Fields and Mason Chronister will
carry the baton for the Terps in the
distance medley, running the quar-
ter, half, three-quarters and mile,
respectively. Maryland also is send
ing the same mile team that cap
tured the Glass B honors last year
after bigger game. Joe Murphy,
Vernon Miller, Gene Ochsenreiter
and Alan Miller or Jack Warfield will
make up the team.
Terps Look to Chr0nister.
In track circles the opinion is
that Eppley's hooters can break
Georgetown's long-standing 2-mile
record if it puts its mind to it, but
the Terps, evidently, intend to take
that one in stride and will concen-
trate on distance medley competition.
Much of the Terps' hopes depend
on Mason Chronister's mile, climax
of the grind. Chronister is an un-
predictable youngster who. may run
the legs off his field and could as
easily be left eating it's dust.
Chronister has gone the distance in
a fraction over 4:12 and should do
AIS or better tomorrow, but what
the actual figures will be is highly
conjectural.
Miller will be close to so seconds
for the quarter, give or take frac-
ton, and Kehoe should be comfort
ably under 1:55 for the half. If
Chronister comes through that puts
it up to Fields. If Tommy gets
home in something like 3:10-and
he can If right-Maryland should
win and will be close to North
Texas States record of 10:11.5 hung
up last year.

who was destined for Charlotte as
early as last February. Now he is

S|uggers at Last
Come 10 Life in
Big Leagues
Stickwork Paramount
For First Time in
Current Season
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

The major league hitters now can
quit blushing at the sight of box
score.
They started earning their way
yesterday with an imposing total of
128 blows in seven games and for
the first time this season the batters,
and not the pitchers, decided the out
come of most of the ball games.
This might be a double-edged
statement subject to controversy ex-
cept for the fact that IS hurlers, an
average of five game, saw service
and it would be difficult to assign
many honors to such an assortment.
The world champion New York
Yankees unleashed their home run
dynamite against the Philadelphia
Athletics and won, ga, although
their II hits were only one more
than Red Ruffing gave the AS. But
the Yanks lot included two homers
by Red Rolfe and two others by Tom
Heinrich and Joe Gordon, while the
AS could muster only one by Wally
Moses.
Mack's Homer Wins for Tribe.
The Cleveland Indians beat out
the st. Louis Browns by the margin
of 2-run homer by Ray Mack, Ga,
and took over first place in the
American League.
Washington outhit the Boston Red
Sox, 1875, and thus were able to
chalk up their first victory of the
season, 60.
Even the games that approximated
pitching duels were broken up by
the hitters. In the Detroit Tigers
81 triumph over the Chicago White
Sox the margin of victory was a
homer in the sixth by Rudy York.
This was Tommy Bridges second
decision of the young season and he
made it stick by scattering five hits
and striking out seven.
The New York Giants scored q
similar victory over the Philadelphia
Phillies So, with Rookie Babe Young
breaking up the struggle in the
eighth by means of 3-run homer.
Hy Vandenberg gave five hits in
winning and Hugh Mulcahy was
touched for seven in losing.
Pirates Fall Behind.
The Pittsburgh Pirates dropped
out of the tie for first in the National
League as the Chicago Cubs
triumphed, ga The Pirates got II
hits off Bill Lee and four Pittsburgh
pitchers allowed one less, but the
Buccos were unable to make up a
five-run deficit Max Butcher ac-
quired in the first inning.
Paul Waner was used as a pinch
hitter again and for the third con-
secutive time came through with a
hit.
The Brooklyn Dodgers took a wild,
unruly struggle from the Boston
Bees, 8-6, coming from behind in
the eighth after Whitlow Wyatt
(who shut out the Bees on opening
day last week. had given up five
runs in the first three innings to
squander the four runs Brooklyn
gave him in the first inning.
The Cincinnati Reds and st. Louis
Cardinals were idle.
