immortals whose big league
careers began on opening day.

with the thrills of opening
day this year may 60 on to
become another Wagner or
Speaker and take his place in

But there's one ball player
who was never to know the
thrill of opening day. He
wasn't big league timber. In
fact, he wasn't even good
enough to play on his high
school team.
Though he could not play
well enough to make the
team, he was not going to
strike out in the game he
loved best. He took the less
interesting, less thrilling, job
of manager. Just a frustrated
player-nursing a big league
dream far from the roar of
big league crowds.
Years later, he saw with his
own eyes what every Amer
lean youngster dreams Of.
Opening Day In the major
leagues. He became a ball
player in his own humble but
happy way.
His name became known
the nation over. In every big
league ball park, In every
sandlot, wherever baseball
was played, his name was
echoed by every player and
fan. Thousands Of fans turned
out on opening day to see him
pitch.
He became the most re-
spected and most beloved
man ever to pitch n ball on
opening day. He was second
to the great Walter johnson
OF having pitched eleven
opening day pitches. He was
part and parcel Of the game
OF baseball.
You'll never find his name
written on a score card
you'll never see his name In
the lineup. He never estab-
lished any pitching records.
Yet he had the honor of pitch
Ing the first ball on more
opening day ball games than
any other man except Walter
Johnson.
That player was Americas
greatest American-Franklin
Delano Roosevelt.

Seals Only Game Away
From Governors 'sCup
BY The Asseeiaisd Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-THE
champion San Francisco Seals, with
a one-game edge and needing only
one more victory over the Oakland
Acorns, will try to nab the Pacific
Coast Baseball League Governors
Cup in Seals Stadium tonight.
A double -header triumph over the
Acorns, 6-3 and - Al, last night
showed the pennant winners ahead
three games to win in the finals Of
the post-season playon with the
runners-up in the regular season.
AL Lien, winner OF the playoh
opener last week, got the nod from
Manager Frank Lefty O'Doul of
the Seals for the mound tonight and
probably will pitch against Gene
Bearden or Frank Shea.
Frank Seward hurled. the San
Franciscans to the first win of the
double e-header, although relieved in
the ninth. Dale Matthewson, taking
over, chucked only one ball, which
Billy Raimondi hit into a double
play.
In the second game, Oakland un-
corked 10-hit lashing on Ray
Cowboy Harrell, but the Seals
turned five blows of four Acorn
moundsmen into victory, getting the
most out of each safety.
