All Is Teams in Action
As Pennont Races Beuin
New Season to Solve
important Problems
BY the Assoeicted Press

NEW YORK, April 13.-The
major leagues open today what
promises to be one of the most
interesting baseball seasons in
many years.
Fans were wondering how the
question of age would affect
the Yankees. seeking their sixth
straight American League PEN
nant. and the Dodgers, who hope
to make it three in a row in
the National League.
Then there was the question
of how much the injury to
Bobby Thomson would hurt the
Milwaukee Braves in giving the
Dodgers a run for their money.
And fans conjectured about the
Red Sox prospects of holding
on until Ted Williams returns,
and whether Dave Philley and
Rudy Regalado can supply what
the Indians have lacked.
Close Races Expected.
OF course, the answers to
these questions will be a long
time coming. However, the pros
poets for close races in both
leagues are bright since all
last years runnerups appear
strengthened and eager to take
a crack at the defending cham
pions.
Fort the first time in years. all
Is clubs started the campaign on
the same day. Some 215.000 fans
were expected to see the eight
inaugurals that featured five
new managers, a new city, and
a batch of new faces.
President Eisenhower was to
throw out the first ball as the
Senators met the Yankees in
Washington.
Parnell Opposes Shantz.
A battle of southpaws was in
prospect in Philadelphia, where
Eddie Joost was to make his
managerial debut with the Ath-
letics. Mel Parnell of the Red
Sox and Bobby Shantz of the
Athletics were the opposing
pitchers. A turnout of $4,000
was expected to see the battle
marked by the absence Of each

Red Sox loss of Williams, the

who moved from Philadelphia to
Baltimore, will assign the pitch
ing chores either to Duane Pill

of 10000 was slated to see Steve
Gromek. veteran highlander,
make the first pitch for the
Tigers. A good pitching duel
was in prospect in Chicago
where Early Wynn of Cleveland
and Billy Pierce of the White
Sox were to clash before 10000.
The National Leagues largest
crowd-some 35,000-figured to

Slaughter'S acquisition poses few ques-
tons. For instance, whatever became of
Casey Stengels "best four-man outfield in
baseball" meaning Woodling, Mantle, Bauer
and Noren? Could it be that Casey and the
Yankee front Office suddenly have been
assaulted by doubts? Why are they taking
on an old warhorse who can't possibly play
much longer?
Perhaps this question should be reserved
exclusively for Del Webb. Last February,
you may recall, Vic Raschi was sold to the
Cards for $80000 Later, Webb undertook
