New SofbaH Season Starts Locally Tonight

UNITED Press STAN Correspondentl
New York, May i.--CUP)--Base-
ball met its FIRST big test Of the 1874
season and passed Il With flying
turnstiles.
A total Of 2oe,9o7 paying fans
took advantage OF the seasons first
good Sunday to attend douhlehead-
ers in eight mayor league Cities
blasting any doubts about the pub
lies regard for the game In the
third year Of war.
This was an increase Of 40.S20
over the l6e,57s who turned out last
May 2-the rst similar Sunday OF
the l943 campaign.
Most significant was the crowd OF
58,o6s, including 52,037 paid, which
damned New York's Polo Grounds
for the Dodgers Giants twin bill.
Some skeptics had feared that rae
ing was weaving fans away from the
metropolitan ball parks. These skep-
tics viewed with alarm the half
million persons who bet $50. So 5e
during the first ~ days Of the
Jamaica meeting.
Pessimists considered racing an
additional threat to baseball, al
ready confronted with IN The alb.
sence OF its best potential fans
among the millions Of young men
now In service. and 90 The alb
sence of its brightest stars and
most Of its able-bodied young play
ers.
But yesterdays figures proved
that there are still plenty Of fans
among the civilians. and that-re-
CARELESS of other diversions-these
fans crave their baseball, even
though the brand Of play may not be
up to pre-war standards.
Not a Record
Approximately 10000 were turned
away from the Polo Grounds; but
they took their misfortune with good
grace, and many TAXED or walked
to nearby Yankee Stadium to watch
a doubleheader between two Negro
teams-the Homestead Grays and
New York Black aYnkees. The 53-
O68 who gained admission to the
Polo Grounds did not set an at
tendance record for the park. An
unofficial GAIT was estimated to
have attended a doubleheader with
the Cardinals In 1896, taking ad-
vantage of extra seating and stand
ing arrangements.
New York's 58,o68 helped swell
the total for yesterdays four Ma
tioral league doubleheaders to 109,-
987. This was somewhat larger than
the 1890 drawn by four American
circuit twin bills. Second largest
crowd of the day was the 38,904 that
watched Cleveland play at Detroit.
The smallest turnout was $500 at
Chicago. for the Browns White Sox
engagements.
Although the season earlier had
been handicapped by bad weather,
It was slightly ahead in attendance
than the comparative period last
year. Including yesterdays games,
a total Of GIL 078 have attended
major league play this season. In
the National league, Sc home stands
OF a games attracted 327,33 cash
customers; and 80 home shows OF
SO games In the American circuit
drew 2S3, 745.
Night Games
Baseball will have a big year at
the gate. Yesterdays enthusiasm
proved that. Moreover, the ~ at
tendance win be helped by more
night games than ever before. It
is heartening to note, also. that
some Of the major league clubs who
have no lighting equipment-Cubs,
Red Sox and Braves-are negotiat-
ing with the War Production Board
regarding possibilities Of installing
night-ball equipment this season.

Cards repeating brand Of playing
which cost them 1914 World Series:
The Cardinals rated the most
formidable team In the National
League this season by the men who
ought to know are certainly not liv-
ing up to the reputation. When the
Cards were utterly routed by the
Reds by the score Of 10 to 3 the
whole story was the five errors
which cost them ball game and
also the very same cost them the
1893 World Series.
Certainly with the Cooper BROTH
ers, Mort on the mound and Walk
er behind the plate, the Cards
should be In better form and play
a better brand of ball than they
have UP to now. OF course I may
be jumping to conclusions too soon
but the sooner the Cards realize
the fact that they are slipping, and
slipping bad the sooner they will
again slip back into that champion
ship form they displayed in earlier
stages last season. The Cards have
the choice battery Of the National
League and they have the proven
infield, their batting power is high
with a name like Stan Musial on
their roster, all they have to work
on now is the outfield and little
coordination in that rather creaky
but well built machine. The Cards
can be tops again If they are able
to make that machine Of theirs
work smoothly and effectively.

Polo Only Hobby With Hitchcock;
He Procticed After Business Hours
Second Of o series.
BY HARRY GRAYSON
(NEA Sports Editor

Tommy Hitchcock, the daddy Of
them all, never permitted polo to
be more than q hobby. Young
Hitchcock always could have had
sufficient money to permit life Of
leisure, but when he attained his
majority insisted on payidng his own
way in costly sport. Oil. coal, Sc
curities, banking and air lines, polo
was not allowed to interfere with
his business. The year round, 8 a. m.
found him In his office.
This was especially true following
Hitchcock's marriage in 1928 to Mrs.
Alexander Laughlin, Jr.. grandniece
of Andrew w. Mellon. In the win
ter. he resided in New York, travelled
to his Office by subway. In the sum-
mer, he lived at Sands Point on
Long Island, committed in a red
winged Fairchild "a, which ne
parked on the East river at the foot
Of Wall Street.
Hitchcock did not leave his Office
before 4:30 p. m. even during the
polo season. When his team was
scheduled for practice during the
week. the club manager, knowing
Hitchcock would not be available
earlier, scheduled the match for
$50. Hitchcock broke away from the
once for a couple Of weeks of polo
at Aiken, S. c., in April, but that
was the only time the game he
played so well came ahead of bus
mess.
HE CHANGED TACTICS
Hitchcock starred in international
combat in i92l-24-27.
In 1928 he succeeded the artist,
Devereux Milburn, as captain, and
Immediately met a severe test of
strategy. Argentine shipped a re-
markable team to Meadow Brook.
America barely won the first match,
T-6. How good the Argentines were
became apparent when they bagged
the second, 1917. That was some
thing new for the Americans
losing an international match. 1t
hadn't happened since 1914.
Hitchcock decided long-hitting
power was all that would match the
whiTlwind game and fast mounts OF
the South Americans.
He benched Mike Stevenson. who
had been one Of the top No. IS for
years. but who stressed short pass
ing, finesse and defense.
Earle Hopping. Jr,, only 20 but
a tremendous hitter. was brought
into his first important polo over
night.
PUT PREMIUM ON PUNCH
The Americans went out that
afternoon before 10000 spectators
TO put on an exhibition Of power
that would have made George Her
man Ruth and the old Yankees
enVious.
Rushed OF their smooth game, the
Argentines were bewildered. wall
loped, 1871. Ayerell Hartman, at
No. !, could have sat IN q rocking
chair and scored as Hopping, Hitch

willow ball up 10 him.
A. Bath Ruth and the Yankees
changed the trend OF baseball, 10
put the premium on punch. 20

American polo with his one daring
move.

Chandler Suggests
Pearl Harbor Probe
By New Commission
y the Assoc,atsd pre,s.

,>~~ ~>s.SSASSS0 1AV18s
A new presidential inquiry into
the Pearl Harbor tragedy was pro
posed today by Senator Chandler,
Democrat, Of Kentucky, in lieu of a
projected investigation by Senators.
Saying an official commission ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt
could do "a more complete and
better job" Senator Chandler advo-
Gated such q course as Senator
Hatch, Democrat OF New Mexico
voiced tentative approval Of separate
congressional action.
Senator Hatch, an administration
supporter, said he would favor q
proposal by Senator Ferguson, Re-
publican Of Michigan to launch
q Senate inquiry If 1t can be con-
Quoted without Interfering with
the present magnificent Army and
Navy cooperation"
Wants Principals to Testify.
Senator Ferguson, ready with
resolution, suggested the calling of
Rear Admiral Husband E. Kimmel
and Maj. Gen. Walter c. Short as
first witnesses II the Senate orders
the inquiry.
Admiral Kimmel and Gen. Short,
commanding at Pearl Harbor when
the Japanese struck, have waived
the two-year statute of limitations
as q bar to possible courts-martial
on dereliction Of duty charges.
These men have had their lips
sealed for nearly three years." SEN
ator Ferguson said. They should
be allowed to tell their stories-even
II they have to talk at closed ses-
sions-and have their witnesses
speak. Witnesses may die. Others
may forget"
Admiral Kimmel has declared that
the report OF the Roberts Commits.
sion, which inquired into the sneak
attack on Pearl Harbor shortly after
the war started, Does not tell the
whole story"
Wants New Commission.
Senator Chandler said the Rob-
erts' Commission was by no means
full and complete investigation
such as the country is entitled to
have" but added:
AT the same time, I think an
other commission, directed to make
an overall inquiry, and to investi-
gate the pre-Pearl Harbor activities
and correspondence of the State De-
partment, the Communications
Commission and other branches of
Government should be set up at
once"
The Roberts Commission, headed
by Justice Owen J. Roberts of the
Supreme Court, reported it found
"dereliction of duty" on the part
Of Admiral Kimmel and Gen. Short.
They get medals and wooden
crosses; we buy War Bonds.
