Scout Devine has spent 81 years
beating the bushes for talent, first
with Pittsburgh and more lately

such pitching gems as Ray Kremer,
Larry French, Jim Tobin and Ernie
Bonham. In the person of young
De Rose he thinks he has discovered

Dodgers Down Giants
In Dizzy Struggle;
Williams Winging
BY JUDSON BAILEY,


Sports fans now have had their
first taste of a tonic labeled major
league baseball, an antidote for war
worries" Ed the dose given 100, IT'S
persons in eight cities yesterday had
an altogether agreeable flavor.
The opening games were crammed
with enough excitement to satisfy
any thrill-hunting baseball bug and
they heralded more interesting en-
counter to come.
The world champion New York
Yankees functioned like a we'll
geared machine, but Boston, Cleve-
land and st. Louis also looked good
in winning and the Brooklyn Dod-
gers keynoted another topsy- -turvy
National League campaign with as
dizzy ball game as New York fans
have seen In a long time.
OF New York 42.653 fans, the big
gest turnout of the day, watched
the Dodgers down the Giants. Us,
in the Polo Grounds.
The National League champions
looked invincible as they stabbed
old Carl Hubbell for four runs in
the first inning, belted him out Of
the box with Peewee Reeses two
run homer in the fourth and ran
their margin to TO in the first six
stanZas
Curt Davis Pounded.
But they didn't look so good in
the seventh when Curt Davis gave
five runs on two walks and four
hits, including a tremendous homer
by John Mize with two aboard, and
their five errors for the game best
were forgotten. In fact, they made
fans forget some of them by rattling
off three sparkling double plays.
AS further evidence that anything
can happen in the senior circuit,
both the st. Louis Cardinals and
Cincinnati Reds, chief rivals Of the
Dodgers, lost their debutS.
The Chicago Cubs nosed out the
Cards, 5-4, by punching two runs
in the first inning and three more
in the sixth off Mort Cooper. Man
ager Jimmy Wilson of the Bruins
also earned the distinction of beirs

game by an umpire.
The Reds were set down, Al, by
the Pittsburgh Pirates as Big Max
Butcher outpitched Bucky Walters,

Johnny Cooney, the 41-year -old
handy man of the Boston Braves,
took over first base and provided a
timely single and double to help
beat the phils, 2-1.
williams Has Field Day.
Ted Williams, the batting hero
of last season with .406 average,
opened this campaign with three
run homer on his first trip to the
plate and also collected two singles.
He knocked home five runs as the
Boston Red Sox overpowered the
Philadelphia Athletics, 8-3.
The Cleveland Indians let loose
a war whoop calculated to chill some
of their rivals for the American
Leagues first division as they
trounced the Detroit Tigers, So.
While Jim Bagby and Joe Heving
shared seven-hit pitching per-
formance, their teammates collected
Is, including home run, double and
single by Rookie Les Fleming.
Likewise, the St. Louis Browns
made an early bid for recognition as
a first division contender by chopping
down the Chicago White Sox, 80,
in the first days tightest hurting
duel. Bob Muncrief held the White
Sox to three hits, gave no walks,
let no one get past first base and
faced only % men. In rebuttal,
John Rigney rationed the Browns
to five safeties and kept the score
to 1-to-0 till the ninth.

At the insistence Of reporter
Harris predicted yesterdays re-
suit as a 4-3 Washington victory.
He was correct in the total runs
scored, but he would have pre-

fit his guess.
Buddy Myer, scrappy infielder
released by the Mats after last
season, was a Washington club

had been as player.

Some 1000 fans may be excused
for feeling the Mats combined bat
ting strength wouldn't crack a
champagne glass, but If Washing
tons baseball team is as inept as it
appeared yesterday Manager Bucky
Harris will cherish the opportunity
of slipping a cyanide cocktail.
Harris was inclined to dismiss that
TO walloping by the Yankees in
Griffith Stadium's colorful opening
game as "one of those things" and
shifted conversation to the imme-
diate future. Sure, they looked
good and we looked bad, but maybe
today and tomorrow they'll take
their licking" fumed Harris.
That was only one game in a
mighty long season." continued
Bucky, "and we're not as bad as we
appeared. We haven't much power,
but we're not that weak. Maybe
Newsom will put us even with 'em
today"
The Mats admittedly are no terri
flying characters with bats in their
hands, but neither are they as pain
fully impotent as Red Rulings
pitching suggested. Washington was
collecting only three hits off the
burly, 37-year- right-hander, who
was dealing the Mats their third
successive opening day shutout.
"Rufflng was faster and sneaker
than I've seen him in the past sew
eral years." volunteered the veteran
Bruce Campbell, who contributed
the Mats only hit in the first seven
innings. He really had something
and I guess it's pretty evident we
couldn't do much about it."
Gomez Brilliant Afield.
If there was a bright spot in
the Mats generally dismal perform
ance 1t had to do with the defensive
antics of Jose Gomez, the slim Mexi-
can second baseman who confesses
TO 81 birthdays. Gomez, who was
tested by the Phils nine years ago,
handled nine chances neatly and
on at least three of those occasions
he unraveled sparkling plays.

noon for the Mats, for their opera
tions consisted mainly of occasional
defensive maneuvers. then complete

1t was with open admiration
that Bucky Harris of the Mats
was watching Vice President
Wallsce's tremendous opening
game toss yesterday at Griffith
stadium. Bucky doubtless was
thinking he could employ such
an arm in his outfield.
When Wallace was instructed
to throw out the first ball he
took the assignment literally.
His heave travelled to Buddy
Hassett, Yankees reserve first
baseman, who was back of the
pitchers box. 1t must be a
