The Rams have improved
both their offensive and de-

Zeke Bratkowski was spectacu-

with his passing. However, Los

covered from an exhibition in

preseason games, but will be
in their best physical condi-
ton so far with Mike Ditka,
rookie of the year, and Half
back Johnny Morris back in
shape.
Bob Ferguson. the All-Amer-
lea fullback from Ohio State,
and rookie Joe Womack of Los
Angeles State, lead a revamped
Steelers' running game against

Jurgenson broke his right

The Eagles problem still is

The Packers rode through six
exhibition games unbeaten and
have the same cast that pow
cred them to the title last
year. This includes Fullback
Jim Taylor, Halfback Paul
Hornung, the NILS most valu-
able player and scoring leader,
and Quarterback Bart Starr.
There are no Army problems
as last year, and Jerry Kramer,

The Vikings finished strongly
in exhibition play, winning
their last two games with Fran
Tarkenton at the controls and

fenses of a year ago.
The Colts were severely Grip

The National Football League
opens its 43d season today and
puts a dog-eat-dog title fight
for the Eastern Division cham
pionship right on the line with
a pair of key games in Cleve-

The NFL has come UP with
an opening day schedule that
pits the Giants, defending East
ern champions, against Cleve-
land. the favorite, and almost
equally strong st. Louis at
Philadelphia to play the Eagles.
A third of a million fans
are expected at the opening
day program, with more than
10000 in Cleveland, where
Coach Paul Brown will take
Q revamped team that won all
five exhibition games, against
the strong Giants.
In other NFL openers, Min
nesota is at Green Bay, Los
Angeles at Baltimore, Chicago
ct San Francisco. Pittsburgh
at Detroit and Washington at
Dallas.

yesterday. Now owned by Fran

she had prop troubles. She'll
try again today to do the re-
quired single lap at 80 miles

Grandstands, boxes and un-
reserved areas along Haines

but not packed yesterday. Park
police estimated the crowd at
25,500 compared to 1900 the
same day last year.
Though there were several
mishaps among the smaller,
limited classes, there were no
injuries until the final heat of
the 280 class. Then Tempest,
driven by Andy Miller, from
Berlin. N. j., hit a floating OBJ
ject at better than go miles per

Fellow drivers stopped to help
rescue Miller and he was rushed

Nick Observes No. 86
By Defending PiersoII

THE PHONE IN NICK ALTRoCK'S
apartment on Fourteenth street rang and
the old pitcher, who hasn't been very
active of late, insisted on taking the call.
Altrock said. "I'll see if he can answer :. :"
He hasn't been feeling too WELL" Mrs.
answer. =
"Hallo!" Nick interrupted, after pain
fully toddling from his bedroom. Yeah,
this is the day. Well, thanks"
Yesterday was Altrock's 86th birthday.
The call, intended to be congratulatory, be-
came tinged with concern.
'oh, it's Just my feet" Nick explained
with mock grumble. After 50 years Of
wearing baseball spikes guess feet got a
right to act up Say, what about Jim
Piersall? The public ought to leave the
guy alone"
This was characteristic of Altrock One
more birthday meant little to him. He was
outraged because Piersall, who is not of his
time, was the target of an ill-mannered
Baltimore fan and hauled into court.
Maybe he amt hitting much but he's
helluva outfielder," Nick went on. "Pm
pulling for him, anyway. Eight kids, he's
got heavy wagon to pull"
't &&
NICK is ONE OF THE FEW living men,
along with Al Schacht, Goose GoSlin and
OSsie Bluege, who was a member of all three
Of the only Washington clubs that won
pennants. He and Schacht formedAthe most
famous and entertaing of all coaching
line twosomes in the years preceding and
following the flag years of 1924-25-33.
+. Long, long ago Nick had been very
fine southpaw and it perhaps was signifi-
cant that in referring to Piersall he had
said, Maybe he amt hittin much. &. :" Ip
his prime, when Altrock was averaging 20
wins a year for the Chicago White Sox of
1904-05-06, Piersall's sub-par batting average
today would have been outstanding
Sportswriters didn't call the world
champion White Sox Of 1905 the "Hitless
Wonders" for nothing. They had club
batting average of .22S, lowest in the
American League and lowest in the Ma
tional, except for the tail-end Braves.
They hit nine home runs all season.
The top hitter was Frank Isbell, the
second baseman who was 279. The three
outfielders - Pat Dougherty, Manager
Fielder Jones and Eddie Hahn-averaged
22e, .2S0 and .22l, respectively. Regular
third baseman Lee Tannehill hit an un-
believable low of ITS.

BUT THE "HITLESS WONDERS" had
three pitching aces and Atrock (20-13) was
one. DR.. @. Harris White, now SO and also

college coach before returning
to the big leagues as a coach
with the Senators.
On the surface, they do not
appear to have much in COM
mon with Jim Piersall. the Sen
ators' fiery centerfielder who
charged into the stands after
q tormentor the other night in
Baltimore.
But it happened to both
Lopez and Case.
About 20 years ago when
Case was the fastest man in
the American League, the Sen
ators used to play the old Balti-
more Orioles of the Interna-
tional League in a two-game
series in Baltimore prior to
opening day in Washington.
.
Mickey Vernon was telling
the story on Case following the
PierSall incident.
I'VE were playing in Balti-
more, and the Orioles were at
bat and there was a count on
the batter in one of the middle
innings when somebody looked
around and we didn't have a
rightfielder. Case was up in
the stands after some heckler, "
Mickey laughed.
Case, somewhat embarrassed,
admitted it.
"The guy was throwing stones
at me. hitting me in the neck, +"
George recalled.
81 kept looking around, try
ing to find him, but he was too
quick for me. But about the
fourth inning I caught the
movement of an arm out of the
corner of my eye and I went
after him. I popped him once
before somebody separated US. l"

The incident involving Lopez
happened when he was a
catcher with the Braves in
Boston.
A heckler in the stands kept
yelling unprintables at Lopez.
He finally spotted the fellow
and invited him down.
The guy approached the rail-
ing and Lopez went back to
meet him, and knocked him
cold. Ed Short. general man
ager of the White Sox, told
that one.

The shamrock on her tail fin

Notre Dame, new craft that
carries the name Of three prior
Presidents Cup winners. Her
timing was off and she also
couldn't get started. Neither

second half.
All this left Bill Harrah's Ia

Bob Gilliam's Fascination, sis
ter ship Of Fascination I, as sole
entrants in the first half of
yesterdays eliminations. Tahoe
Miss breezed home at an ave-
rage speed of 101 .694 while Fas-
cination limped behind at 82.-

Thus today's two halves Of
the second elimination heats
and the final may see an in
teresting contest between Miss
Century and Tahoe Miss, which
is being driven here by Chuck
Thompson. four-time Presi-

interesting is the fact that Ia
hoe Miss is the old maverick
which raced the two fastest
45-mile and 90-mile races ever
raced in the United States.
