Washington's tenancy In first place may be brief. The other clubs start playing today.

The Senators trimmed Boston 8-2 yesterday in the opening game 1958, attended by pitcher Dwlsht Elsenhower and a large collection of "government dignitaries. President Delighted The President was delighted at the outcome. He always roots for the home team. Ramos' brilliant five-hit pitching after Elsen hower had thrown out the first ball evened the chief executive's record. -Washington now has a 3-3 mark for opening games launched by Eisenhower's right-handed lobs Boston suffered through without Williams, who now -has missed four Red Sox openers in six years.

The 39-year-old outfielder came down with a severe attack of food poisoning which left htm stretched out on a clubhouse table at Griffith Stadium. Jensen Hits Homer Jackie Jensen socked Ramos for a two-run homer in the third. A spectacular dtvhig catch by Eddie Yost of Jensen's bases-full liner in the first saved Ramos two or three runs. Otherwise Pedro controlled the contest. Jim Lemon slammed a solo homer for the Senators, but inept fielding cost Frank Sullivan the game.

The 6-foot-7 Boston righthander yielded all five Washington runs In the six innings he pitched, but the last three were unearned. They came In the sixth, when errors by shortstop Don Buddin. his first of two, and Gene Stephens, Williams' sub, fitted in with a walk and singles by Ramos and Yost. Ramos personally knocked In the run that provided his winning margin. Soviet, American Grapplers Meet For Third Time TULSA.

But U. S. Coach Clay Roberts laid yesterday his boys are improving, and "If we can get them to realize how their opponents work, I think we can make it closer." The Russians are well schooled in Olympic freestyle wrestling, the) Style used in the matches, while the Americans are most familiar: with AAU and U. S. collegiate wrestling style.

The two- previous wrestling matches drew 4,000 at Norman and 3,000 at Stillwater, and fans at both gave the Russians a warm weknmo. The Russians are spending much- of their time taking pictures or sights and simply smiling at crowds they' attract.

BILL RIGNEY t. hopeful of pennant Major League Baseball Hits Coast Today SAN FRANCISCO iff) Maiort league oaseball reaches from coast to coast for the first time today with" the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers meeting in thf Pacific lnaupural. Transplanted from New- York and Brooklyn, the Giants and Dodgers renew their long rivalry along a different coastline. Manager Bill Rlgney named Puerto Rican right-hander Ruben Gomez (15-10 in 1957) to start against the Dodgers against Don Drysdale (17-9. Rlgney Optimistic A crowd estimated at 200,000 lined the streets yesterday to welcome Willie Mays and and later a packed banquet audience heard Rigncy say, "They pick us to finish sixth but we haven't that in mind.

This team is ready to go." Los Angeles Manager Walt Al ston and that city's mayor, Norrls Poulson, received ovations, in the happy thought that major league ball finally had arrived. A capacity throng of 23,400, or perhaps a few more, has been as sured since last Dec. 1 when the opening game became a sellout.

Gil Hodijcs hcid the first base assignment and Pee Wee Reese won hack his shortstop position. Rookie Dick Gwy, up tram St. Paul, was at- third.
