The Senators open the season
today with reasonable questions
to be asked about every position.
It's the hope of the brass that
the question marks will be trans
formed into exclamation points,
with everybody producing at
maximum efficiency. but mean
while fans may be forgiven for
skepticism.
AS they launch activity against
the Yankees today, with Presi-
dent Eisenhower bestowing a
White House blessing on the
game by Tipping the first pitch.
the Senators are low-rated be-
cause of numerous uncertainties.
Roy sievers, starting mis- first
full season as first lbaseman
after previously being identified
mainly as an outflelder, is the
solid member of the group. He
has been a low-average hitter
for two seasons. But he has
slammed 40 home runs in two
years and thumped across more
than 200 runs.
Can Roy Hit Enough?
These figures prompted Cal
Griffith to rearrange the furni-
ture to suit his slugger. The
leftf1eld stands now represent q
more tempting target, with as
much as SO feet being chopped.
But will Sievers ram enough
homerS into the new seats to
offset enemy production?
Pete Runnels. at second base,
lis a respected hitter among his
fellow craftsmen and a tolerable
fielder. He always has looked
the part Of 800 hitter, but
never has achieved better than
Ia .285 mark in four full seasons
here. Can he lift his average
and help elevate the club?
Concern Over YOSt
There was little complaint
with ShortStop Jose Valdivielso's
fielding as rookie last season
There were frowns over his POI
hitting. Manager Chuck Dres-
sen recommended a major over
haul of Jose's batting stroke in
an attempt to make a spray hit
ter of him. Will the slender
Cuban become more Of a threat
with lumber in his hands?
There's more concern over
third base than Dresser or Grit

Doubts Plague
Yonks, Dodgers
And Top Rivals
BIZ the Associated Pres

A host of questions plagued
all is managers today as the
major league season opened in
eight cities. For the moment,
at least, the managers of clubs
which were mired in the depths
last season were all even with
the bosses of the heavily-favored
Yankees and Dodgers.
Lowly-rated clubs sucn as the
Senators, Orioles, Pirates and
Cubs, desperately striving to get
back into the thick of the pen
nant fights, shared their uncer-
tainties with the top contenders.
Brooklyn. worried about sore
armed pitchers, tried to guess the
odds against breaking from the
barrier with 10 straight victories,
as it did last year, and the
Yankees wondered if they picked
UP enough pennant insurance
when they traded for Mickey
McDermott.
The White Sox and indians
worried about who got the best
of the deal that sent Larry Dolby
to Chicago in exchange for Chico
Carrasquel and Jim Busby.
Questions All Down Line
Can Rookie Luis Aparicio fill
Carrasquel's shoes at shortstop
for the White Sox? Is Hank

Can Jackie Robinson's legs hold

er from their sore arms? So ii
went all down the line.

Stadium Capacity
Dooms New York
Bid for ST Come

NEW YORK. April II (R.-
New York City, the big town"
that prides itself on doing things
bigger and better than any place
else. has lost its bid for the re-
Inewal of the colorful Army
Notre Dame football series be-
cause it doesn't have a stadium
Ibig enough.
Philadelphia. with its 100000
seat Municipal Stadium and a
gross gate expected to top the
best New York could offer by
$4,000. will get the game in
stead. The Quaker City also has
been the site of recent Army
Navy games.
Game time is October IL. 1857
ending a 10-year break in the
football rivalry between the two
institutions.
Talked With Mayor
Yankee Stadium, with maxi
mum capacity of $4,000. was the
site New York had to offer, but
1t. Gen. Blackshear M. Bryan,
superintendent of the Military
Academy, said he reluctantly
had to choose Philadelphia be-
cause Of greater seating capacity
and the prospect of greater reve-
nue..
He announced his decision
after comforting with Mayor
Robert Wagner of New York and
George Weiss, general manager
of the New York Yankees.
II could not see my way clear
to leave Philadelphia" Gen
Bryan said. adding that he made
the choice out of consideration
of the large numbers of Army
and Notre Dame alumni. He IN
dicated he would confer with
Yankee officials about bringing
some other Army game to New
York.
Stadium Bill Ready
Mayor Wagner said the situa-
ton pointed up the need for a
larger stadium in New York
City. A bill setting up a tax-free
authority to build a $30-million
home for the Brooklyn Dodgers
currently is being considered by
Gov. Hartman and the Borough
of Manhattan is talking about
a 110.000-seat stadium for the
New York Giants.
Army and Notre Dame, who
will meet at South Bend October
IL, 1858, originally were sched-
uled to play their series renewal
at West Points Niche Stadium,
which seats around $1,000. Then
larger cities, particularly New
York and Philadelphia, started
their campaigns.

Cadets and Irish, who met in
Yankee Stadium for more than
20 years, closed with Notre

icies and the names under which
they are sold. Regardless of this
accelerated activity. there are still
three principal categories into
which most life insurance falls:
they are ~ ordinary. (2J indus

Premiums are payable direct to
the company on quarterly,

Industrial Life Insurance
The Industrial type policy came
into being In England about 1884
from the demands of the indus

similar TO ordinary, but in smaller
amounts with more frequent pre-
premium dates. II was introduced
in the United States in 1878 and

illnesses and death,
Industrial insurance Is also
known "a family insurance Az IL is
available to every members OF the

Premiums are usually collected by
an agent each week or month.
Group Life Insurance
This form OF insurance was in
troduced in 1911 and az its name
implies, group insurance provides
a means for insurtng a group Of
people under one policy. These are
usually the employees Of an or

firms and are insured mostly
without medical examination.

The amount Of insurance deter
