 Bill Sweeney, manager of the Portland club, may have found a way to keep the umps from blowing the whistle on his pitchers. The story gees this Way: Red Adams was pitching for Portland in the opening game with Hollywood. He had yielded four balks. So the next time Adams pitched, Sweeney was ready. He had borrowed prize fight gong. The first time a Hollywood man reached first base, Sweeney, in the dugout, tapped the gong to signal Adams the lapse of one second.
 Red raised his arms, brought them to his chest, and held the pose until he heard Sweeney's bell. Then he pitched.
 No balk.
 But the gong wasn't much good after all Hollywood shelled Adams from the hill in l 2-3 innings.

 The weatherman predicted there would be no postponements. He fore cast spring temperatures and dry fields for every point except Chi cago, where there was risk of showers" for the meeting of the White Sox and St. Louis Browns.

 Elsewhere crowd estimates range from 18OO0 at Chicago to 30,00O and 32,000 for the other ball yards. The general forecast was for tempera- lures in the eos and low 70's With cloudy but not leaky skies.
 Interest at Boston
 Main interest centered at Boston, where the two top American League favorites, the defending champion Yankees and the gold-plated Red Sox, open a dogfight that is eX- pected to carry right down to the wire.
 The National League champions and favorites to repeat, Brooklyns well-heeled Dodgers, start the cam paign at Philadelphia against the young, eager -beverish Phils.
 Washington's activities feature an ambidextrous pitcher, Harry 5. Truman, the only hurler whose salary is in the Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams S1Oo OO0-plus bracket.

 Brooklyn's Dodgers in the Ma tional and Boston's Red Sox in the American, both bountifully blessed with material, are favored to win out over the six-month grind.
 A World Series atmosphere pre- vailed at Boston, where the Yankees sent their 1949 series hero, Allie Reynolds, against Lefty Mel Par nell, who won 25 for the Red Sox last year.
