in couple of six-furlong sprints

of them managed to come home

eligibles to run today were East
Light, a complacent seventh in
Jamaica's first half, and Alstimu,
a weary sixth in the second section.

WASHINGTON, April 16-U.R-

a good pitcher but a poor prophet
today as the Boston Red Sox slug
ged out a to 8 victory over the
Washington Senators in the inaug-

full house of 30,372 fans.
Making his debut as an opening
day pitcher, the ambidextrous
chief executive fired a perfect
strike - left-handed - to set the
baseball season in motion and then
sat back to watch a game he had
predicted would end in 4-to-1 vic
tory for Washington.
