The 1858 major league base
ball season opens with a sneak
preview Monday and rolls into
high gear Tuesday with "a new
look"
1t will present a new world
champion, two new major
league cities. a new general
manager, a new field leader. a
scattering of new coaches and
a flock of new faces in the play
ing ranks.
For the first time in nine
years there is a defending
champion from a city Mil
waukee) other than New York.
For the first time in history, the
majors have become national in
scope.
The boundaries Of the ma
tional pastime have been pushed
westward some $500 miles to
the shores of the Pacific with
the advent of big league ball
in Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco.
Bleak for New York
On the bleak side, however,
the exodus of the Dodgers from
Brooklyn and the Giants from
Manhattan leaves New York
without National League repre-
sentation for the first time in
more than three-quarters' of a
century. Unless the idea of 10
team leagues turns from rumor
to reality. prospects are dim
for New York to return to the
National League despite oeca-
sional "move-in" reports from
Cincinnati. Pittsburgh and
Philadelphia.
The switch of General Man
ager Frank Lane from st. Louis
to Cleveland is expected to liven
UP things in the American
League. Lane already has COM
pleted a flock Of trades designed
to help his new manager, Bobby
Bragan. pull the Indians out
of the second division. With
Lane and the Redlees showing
the way. the majors completed
q near-record number Of trades
during the winter and spring.
New Homes for Stars
AS q result the new season
finds a goodly number of old
reliables in new surroundings.
Ted Kluszewski has become a
Pirate. Billy Martin a Tiger,
Minnie MinoSo an Indian,
Bobby Thomson q Cub. Harvey
Haddix a Red. Wally Post a
Philly and Early Wynn a White
Soxer. to name a few.

Yonks and Braves
Rated Too Strong

But last in pitching with a hor-
rendous .462 earned run aver
age.
DODGERS-Excellent pitch
ing and lots of depth there,
too, but the ex-Brooklyn Buns
are growing old. Reese and
Snider are question marks and
Campanella's baseball days are
ended. The infleld and CATCH
ing are highly suspect. Even
playing n games in Los An
seles Coliseum, with its ESQ
foot leftfleld fence, they could
drop out of the first division.
PHILLIES-Some good ball
players, especially the newer
ones, but the inf1eld is wobbly
and this club doesn't score
many runs. Examples: No
Philly batter hit 800 last year,
nobody drove home as many as
80 runs, and there were two
long stretches when almost a
shutout was needed to win.
Biggest individual question:
Can Robin Roberts come
back?
GIANTS-Could be better
than the club that finished 26
games back. mainly because
Of Rockies Willie Kirkland and
Orlando Cepeda. Solid men
remain Willie Mays and, de-
spite his 1918 record, Johnny
Antonelli.
PIRATES-Could wind up
with more 300 hitters than
any club in the league. Some
fair pitchers. too. but this is
a team that Is numb from hav-
ing finished in the cellar six
times and seventh twice in the
last eight seasons.
CUBS-Don't bet this outfit.
They need too much, although
not at shortstop where Ernie
Banks holds forth.

This season and next. the
Dodgers will play their games
in the Los Angeles Coliseum,
a vast edifice with 101 900 seats.
Transforming this track and

was erected.
Big Celebrations
Civic celebrations are planned
both in San Francisco and Los

With a Highlander operat-

is for the powerful Gernert to
pull toward the convenient left
field seats.
Williams, top hitter in the
majors last season with a .386
average. injured his ankle
while fishing in labrador last
October. He slipped on a rock
and the ankle pulled. While
first X-rays disclosed no bone
damage. a later X-ray revealed
he had suffered a bone chip
which since has disappeared.
For the 37th time a President
will throw out the first ball.

be placed on sale after Mr..
Eisenhower arrives. Bleacher

There's no permanancy con-

don't hold up better than last
year. when he played for the
White Sox. the Tribe will be
in bad trouble.
ORIOLES-They are awarded
sixth place more or less by de-
fault. On paper Baltimore is
no better because Of weak
nesses in just about every de-
partment.
ATHLETICS - Con- e d e d
seventh place for the same
reason that the Orioles are
handed the sixth. Even so,
Kansas City will have to hustle,
as last season, to beat out the
Senators.
SENATORS-A very weak in
field. a question mark in center,
and no great improvement in
pitching aside from Rookie
Ralph Lumenti. Roy Sievers
hardly can guarantee to dupli-
cate his sensational 81 feats
at bat. Even in Roy's greatest
year. remember that the Sen
ators wound up with the worst
pitching record. second worst
batting mark and 43 games OF

BRAVES-Rich. man. rich!
Added to what they had last
year-Aaron. Mathews. Schoen-
dienst, Logan. Adcock. SPAIN.
Buhl. Birdette. Conley-are Bob
Rush from the Cubs and Rookie
Carlton Wiley from Wichita.
Rush could win as many as II
with the hopeless Cubs and
Wiley was a 21-6 pitcher in
the American Association.
CARDINALS - horrible
slump during the last two weeks
Of 81 kept Fred Hutchinson's
crew from battling it out down
to the wire with Milwaukee.
Pitching Is good, ditto the in
field. There are Musial. Dark.
Ennis. Blasingame. Moon. Mi
zell. the McDaniels. Jackson
and Jones. A major deficiency
may be bench strength.
REDS-Still have power to
burn and a firSt-rate infield
and outfield. especially If
Rookie Vada Pinson can win a
regular job. The pitching has
got to be better If only because
it can't even be as bad as last
year. much less worse. Best
defense in National League,
tied with Braves as No. 2 in
club batting behind Cardinals.
