Memphis Debut

BY the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, April 18.-Pete Gray,
one armed rookie outflelder of the
American League champion ST.
Louis Browns. summed up his major
league debut with this observation:
1T wasn't too good but it sure
was better than my first game for
Memphis in the Southern Associa-
ton"
The Browns prize rookie played
his first game in big time" yester-
day in left field as the Browns beat
Detroit, 7 to l. He made one hit
and was robbed of what appeared
to be sure double by sensational
catch in four times at bat. In the
field he slipped and fell on his only
chance.
That first game for Memphis I
hit the ball all five times / was up" "
Pete recalled, but all five times it
went right straight to the pitcher. =
Cramer Robs Him of Double.
Gray faced Hall Newhouser three
times. He grounded out to Shortstop
Jimmy Webb, was called out on
strikes, then sent a long line drive
to right center. Roger Cramer dived
for the drive, making a spectacular
one-handed catch. Gray had al
ready rounded first when Cramer
reached for the ball. 1t would have
been good for at least a double had
the veteran centerdelder missed.
That lefthander was really
rough" Gray said of Newhouser.
He threw me every pitch in the
book. When I was called out on
strikes he used a fast curve that
was almost by me before I figured
out where it was headed"
Pete made his hit. a sharp infield
single. off Les Mueller, the second
of three Tiger pitchers in the game.
Falls on Fielding Chance.
Only two balls came in Pete's di-
rection in left field. One was Paul
Richards home run into the left
field bleachers. The other was a
drive by Eddie Mayo Gray slipped
and fell as he approached the
bouncing ball He recovered and
held Mayo to double.
Manager Luke Sewell said he was
satisfied with Gray's opening day
performance. Hes okay for my
money. I like his work.

Sammy Angott for the crown more
than year ago. Juan Zurita risks
his NBA lightweight championship
tonight against Ike Williams of
Trenton. N. J.
Mexican sports fans are looking
forward to watching their home
town champion in action with the
same enthusiasm as the regular
Sunday bullfghts. And that, senior,
is something.
A near-capacity crowd Of some

scrap in the Mexico City bullring.

priced at 500, Promoter Sam Rosof
estimated gross receipts at 100000,
Although Williams, sharp
puncner who knocked out Dorsey
Lay in Philadelphia before coming
south of the Rio Grande, has gained
more favor as light time approached,
Zurita remained the favorite.
Zuritas speed was expected to
help him counter Williams punch
ing power. He also is expected to
be more at home in Mexico City'S
high altitude over the long Is
round route.
Zurita. who had been over the
weight limit of 1875 pounds during
most of his training, scaled 1874
yesterday. He spent the day rest

by punching a bag for two rounds
and then skipping rope for two more.

cause Evans twice let a Leonard

excuse for the catcher. The ball
was wet. for the game had been
started in a heavy rain, and the
moisture made Dutch's KNOCKERS
especially difficult to handle. The
Mats fielding was good. however, de-
spite the wet ground. Binks turned
in the most spectacular catch of the
game when in the first frame he
ran back to leap high against the
right-ield wall and drag down Hal
Peck's dangerous-looking drive.
The Mats went to work on New
som in the first inning for three
runs and the AS never caught up.
Washington sealed the game in the
fifth when with two out and two
on, through an error and a walk,
three successive singles were made.
After that the AS began swelling
their score, but the Mats managed
to add four more markers anG

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 18.-
Some power at the plate may be de-
veloped by the Mats after all. While
they did nothing startling with their
bats in the training period, Skippe,
Os Bluege's charges put on a pleas
ing display of punch yesterday tc
knock out Philadelphia Athletics
IA to 8, in the baseball inaugural at
Shibe Park. Their offensive chilled
the 7,846 Mack partisans more than
did the wet weather.
That opening game attack Is not
positive proof that the Mats have
what it takes to overpower their
rivals in the American League, Of
course, but it does give some sup
port to Bluege'S preseason conten-
tion-that his 1945 .ball club will
have more drive at bat all through
the order than did the 1914 outfi,
that had power only in couple OF
spots and wound up in last place.
Chipple Impressive at Bat.
There was an abundance of drive
distributed throughout the lineup
as the Mats whacked the AS. Fifteen
hits flew from Washington war clubs
with only Harlond Cliff, AL Evans
and Dutch Leonard failing to crash
the hit column. Joe Kuhel anc
George Binks with four hits each
and George Myatt with three led the
offensive. Walter Chipple. the
draftee from Montreal recently sent
back to the outfield was particu-
larly impressive at the plate, al
though he got just one hit.
That was a tremendous single
driven against the left field stano

enough to drive over two runs

Browns Score Ninth
Straight Triumph
In |naugura|s
BY JACK HAND,

J Associated fTeSS opOTtS WTlIeT.
Nine straight opening day victo-
ries for the St. Louis Browns went
into the record books today as a
companion piece to their 1914 feat
of coping first American League
pennant.
Luke SeWell's gang took up where
they left off last year by knocking
off Detroit, habit that paid big
dividends in winning their first flag
when they did it 13 times in %
starts.
Hal NeWhouser was the victim
of the Brownies IL uprising as Sig
Jakucki, tomato-faced right handler,
allowed only six well-scattered hits
One-armed Pete Gray broke into
the majors for the Browns with a
single and was robbed of a sure
double on a circus catch by Roger
Cramer.
Standout individual performance
of the openers was turned in by the
New York Yankees Russ Derry,
starting his first full season in the
big show. Derry, a slim Mill Grove
| (MoD farmer, belted two homers in
his clubs 8-4 decision over the
Boston Red SoX. The second came
in seven-run, seventh-inning rally
with the bases jammed.
Metkovich Sets Dismal Record.
George Metkovich, Sox first base
man; set a new league standard he
will not be proud Of, when he COM
mitted three errors in that same
seventh frame. The first two were
on the same play when he missed
base runner going to first and
threw wildly to the plate, letting
two men score. The third set the
stage for Derry's grand slam clout.
Starter Alley Donald was credited
with the win over Rex Cecil, al
though neither was around at the
finish.
frankie Zak of Pittsburgh pro-
vided the days oddity during the
game with Cincinnati, won by the
Reds in the l1th, 7-6 With two on,
Zak's shoestring came united and
he asked and received a call of
time from Umpire Ziggie Sears.
Pitcher Bucky Walters didn't hear
the ump and dished up home run
ball to Jim Russell. But it was all
disallowed.
Dain Clay boosted the Reds into
the game with a bases-loaded circuit
clout and won it with a single in
the 18th in Cincinnati Reliefer
Hod Llsenbee was the winner over
Rip Sewell
Mel OFT set six new records while
his New York Giants ruined Boston,
ll-6. Starting his Goth season with
the same club. OFT broke a mark
every time he scored or batted in
run, drew a walk, slammed a long
hit or picked up an extra base on
a long smash.
Voiselle Is Weak Winner.
Bill Voiselle faded under a last
round epidemic of homers but picked
up win No. over Al Javery. Phil
Weintraub, Ernie Lombardi, Joe
Mack and Chuck Workman hit for
all four bases.
Bill Nicholson drove in one run
and scored another in the Chicago
Cubs 80 margin over the St. Louis
Cardinals behind Paul Derringers
effective hurting. The Cubs got
only four safe blows off Ted Wilks
and Bud Byerly, the loser.
Veteran Curt Davis and Rookie
Mike Sandlock teamed up for
Brooklyn's 81 decision over the
Phillies and Ken Raffensberger.
Davis allowed eight hits and came
through with a homer. Sandlock
slammed three hits.
Timely Chicago hitting, combined
with Cleveland defensive jitters,
