YANKS, RED SOX
OPEN BASEBALL
YEAR IN BOSTON

Boston, April 18-(UP)-The Bos-
ton Red Sox clash with the world
champion New York Yankees at
F'enway park today as Major League
baseball, battered by the draft and
manpower shortages, seeks to carry
on in this third year Of World War
II.
Gov. Leverett Saltonstall of Mas
Sachusetts, somewhat of veteran
southpaw after tossing cut the first
ball for five years, will start the
opening day ceremonies which will
have definite military tinge.
Large units of WACS, WAVES,
SPARS and women Marines will be
on hand as will be delegates of
soldiers, sailors, marines and coast
guardsmen. Flag-raiSing ceremonies
will be hadnled by a marine color
squad and a coast guard band.
Terry VS. Barowy
Slated to go to the mound for the
Red Sox was Yank Terry, a hold
over while big Hank Borowy, always
a difficult hurler for the Sox to face,
draws the starting assignment for
the Yankees.
The New York club was highly
favored to capture the opening game
and roar along through the season
to another pennant. Among the key
men who have returned to the
Yankee fold are pitchers Ernie Bon
ham and Spud Chandler, while the
club also has such sound material
as first baseman Nick Etten and
outfielder Johnny Lindell.

BASEBALL BEGAN
THIRD SEASON
OF WORLD WAR
BY GLEN PERKINS

United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, April 10. - Cup -
The third wartime baseball season
opens today.
vice-President Henry Wallace,
pinch pitching" for President
Roosevelt, was scheduled to toss out
the first bail at the game between
Philadelphia and Washington, thus
omcially opening the 154 game
championship schedule in both the
American and National League.
Entering its third season of this
war, baseball was on a strictly ra-
toned basis. Outwardly the sea-
sons opening will be the same as in
the past with all eight home clubs
staging pre-game festivities Of some
sort and city or state officials throw
ing out the first ball. The fact re-
mains, however, that the real stars
are in the service and only a rea-
sonable resemblance to the old game
can be hoped for. The thrills Of
other years still will be on hand,
however, and basehits and strikeoutS
still will warm the hearts Of the real
fan.
The New York Yankees, seeking
their fourth consecutive American
pennant, begin the campaign at Bos-
ton without the managerial genius
Of Joe Mccarthy who remained In
New York with a bad cold.
The pennant winning st. Louis
Cardinals Of the National League
conceded to be a shoo-in again this
season, open their title defense at
home against the Pittsburgh Pirates
The weatherman threatened tc
put crimp in an estimated overall
attendance of more than 100000 as
prophecies in most cities were fol-
continued cold or showers. New
York, however, drew smile from
the weather prophet and promise
Of fair and warm for the Giants
opener against the Boston Braves.
Other scheduled openings in the
American League included Cleve-
land Chicago and st. Louis at De-
troit; in the National League
BROOKLYN at Philadelphia and Chi
cago at Cincinnati.
Baseball club owners and officials
have made no pretense Of offering
pre-war standards on the diamond
They are, however, optimistic about
the fans acceptance of play and
feel that the turnstiles will click
often enough to make the season
success.
Competition promises to be keen
for every position in each leagues
first division and competition Is
what draws the customers.

Miller SUGGESTS
1916 SHOWING.

Stockholm, April 10. - CUP) -
Arne Anderson, holder Of the
worlds outdoor mile record, told
the United Press late yesterday that
he doubted II he and his Swedish
colleague, Gunder Hagg, would be
able to accept an invitation to run
in the United States this summer.
Anderson said he thought he and
Hagg would decline the invitation to
compete in the American amateur
Athletic Union meet at New York
because Of transportation difficul-
ties which might make it irnpossi-
BILE to return to Sweden for the
track season here late In the sum-
mer.
Suggests 1915
Anderson, holder Of the 4:02.6
record for an outdoor mile, set
while Hagg was conducting an all
victorious tour through the United
States. expressed his appreciation
for the invitation but said he
thought 1t would be better to make
an American appearance in 1915.
1T was difficult for Gunder to
get over by ship last year." he said,
land it will certainly be no easier
now during invasion preparations
and other matters concerned with
the American war effort. Even IL
arrangements for our transportation
over by plane were made, we still
would have to demand a guarantee
that we be back in Sweden by the
end OF July so that we could par
ticipate in our home season"
Wants Welcome
Anderson expressed hope that he
and Hagg would still be welcome
IN 1915 and said "if given word
long enough in advance we could
adapt ourselves for the trip and
then the results certainly would be
different than if we had TO get
underway pell NELL"
Contacted in New York, Daniel
j. Ferris, national secretary Of the
AAU, said he was quite sure that
return transportation could be ar
ranged for the runners.
We are making every effort to
assure them Of both east and west
bound transportation" Ferris said.

PRO FOOTBALL
PROBLEMSA ARE
MOUNTING UP
BY RUSS GREEN

UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent
Philadelphia, April 10 - (U.P)-
officials of the National Football
League, here for the opening Of the
leagues annual meeting, indicated
today that discussion of how to fill
their ranks with capable athletes
would be one of the first topics up
for consideration.
Several Of the representatives in
dictated that the possibility of using
college football players who had re-
ceived medical discharges from the
armed services and whose schools
had abandoned the sport, would be
discussed. It was pointed out, how
ever, that permission for freshmen
and Sopohomores who fall In that
category to play would have to
come from respective colleges ath-
letic association and from league
Commissioner Elmer Layden.
League bylaws stiplate that no
player may compete In the Nation
al Professional League until the
class In which he first entered COL
lege Is graduated. Team owners
agreed last year to use juniors and
seniors returning from service to
play If their schools had abandoned
fotban and permission was granted
The agreement, however, was not
put to general use.
The use Of such freshmen and
sophomores would be of assistance
to all teams who have already tap
ped the supply Of available ATS
and Army discharges. Some teams
will present lineups showing 60 to
30 per cent such players.
Schedule Trouble
Early arrivals among the club
owners generally were optimistic
regarding the outlook for 1914 des-
pite the loss of most of the name
stars on the various services. They
expressed general opinion that
4-F's and medical discharges would
supply enough top-calibre players
to place the league In better shape
than 1t was last year.

ing champion Sgt. Gerard Cote in
series of snowshoe races tops a
list of last minute entries for the
48th annual Boston A. A. marathon
that starts at noon tomorrow.
Evans, picked by the experts 10
finish high in the field, was one OF
a dozen entries received yesterday
that swelled to II the number OF
runners who will compete in the 26-
mile 1885, yard Tarvia trot.
Cote, ON leave from the Canadian
army, was favored to repeat his
triumph of last year and become
the only triple champion from Can
ada in the history Of the event.
The little French Canadian dis
closed that the shoes he wore in
winning year ago have been loaned
to Sgt. Norman Bright of the U. s.
Army, one of the entries. Bright had
complained that his feet blistered
during the rase in other years and
so Cote gave him his auxiliary pair
of specially-built. lightweight foot
gear.

like to try the 26-mile-385- yard
grind just once before he hangs up
his spikes.

peak around 26 or %, SO after that
I think I'd like to make a stab at
the marathon just like Joie Ray
did," the 25-year old Boston divin-
ity student told the United Press
when I'm 30 or 35 I suppose I'll
figure, What's mile more or less?'
I always liked the Emile run better
than the mile, and I suppose II
I trained properly I could learn to
like anything-even 26 miles.
I'D hate to be competing against
the field this year" the 1904 miller
smiled. sgt. Gerard Cote, the Can
adian who won last year, is a
great runner who will give till ii

means a lot in trackman. I'm 60

Reg. U. S. Pat. on
BY JACK CUDDY


tUmted Press StaR Correspondent
New York April 18.-(UP)-Amer-
lea deals the Axis another psyche
logical blow today by opening the
1914 major league baseball season,
apparently geared to carry the ma
tional pastime through its third full
campaign of the global war.
OF the Axis partners, Japan best
understands the significance of this
opening. For years the Japanese
studied baseball in the United
States and tried to play it In their
own country. Accordingly, there
would have been much rejoicing
among Hirohito and his henchmen
today had the exigencies of war force
ed our ball parks to remain closed.
You may be sure also that the
Naz investigators of our national
morale get an earache from the
cry Of PLAY Ball" In our major
cities. Unquestionably, Herr Hitler.
that earnest but erring student Of
mass psychology, has kept close tab
on our baseball situation. It's that
important.
Although the international angle
was not mentioned when steve early
told Washington reporters that Pres
ident Roosevelt lis pleased to see
baseball continuing, there may have
been more than met the ear in that
statement. Likewise, when Mayor
LaGuardia Of New York boosted the
game on the radio Sunday.
Excluding the effect Of organized
baseball upon the morale Of work.
ers at home and upon the morale
of men in the armed forces, the
opening of this major league season
Is an important international DEM
onstration that the United States
though about for war-still can
carry on its most widely publicized
advertisement. More important:
That 1t can do this without showing
a particle of preference to the men
participating in the advertisement.
No preference has been asked for
ball players: and none has been
given.
Meanwhile, this demonstration
that the United States, though max
ing the greatest and most effective
war effort of any country in his
tory, still can carry on its national
pastime, must be feartening to our
Allies and other members of the
United Nations. 1t must be of par
ticulAr interest to Canada and to
thnsE Latin American republics
where in the gospel Of baseball has
been so widely disseminated.
OF far more importance than
these international affects, Of course,
are the wholesome benefits to be
garnered from another baseball sea-
son by OUR citizens at home and BY
our men in service. Baseball'S con-
tributions to the national morale
have been stressed by the games
apostles ever since Pearl Harbor.
There's little new about these con-
tributionS-these benefits to the pub
lie. They've merely been increasing
for slightly more. than century, as
the game spread throughout the
land, and as improved methods q
transportation and communication
made 1t diversion for millions. 40
day baseball is our most widely pub
licized entertainment. 1t gets more
newspaper and radio space even
than the movies. You might call
1t an institution.
This particular opening OF the
ball season should be a happy event
for America and its friends; but
bad news for Hitler and Hirohito.
