fc- TEN THE EVENING INDEPENDENT- MASSILLON. OHIO. THURSDAY; APRIL Ifr 1931' OPENING CONTESTS IN MAJOR LEAGUES GOULD SPORTS EtXTW, Although the Cardinals, with or without their slugging outfielder, Chick Hafey, have been made pretty firm favorites to repeat in league, Ed in his column in the Louis Post Dispatch HOME RUNS STILL PLENTIFUL DESPITE NEW TYPE OF BALL i Ohio Has By HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR. Associated Press Sports Writer Fans who haven't already forgotten the pre-season hullabaloo over the new baseball used in th-i major leagues this year may well wonder after two days of big time play what effect the alter- sphere is having.

It seems evident the ball is still as the home runs are of the season. the "wise money" around St.) ma at their usual rate, but good pitching performances Louis has quoted the Chicago! on tne increase as well. Eight pitchers went the full roqte in the Cubs to win at odds of 2 to two major leagues yesterday, an unusual number for the second bracketing the Cardinals, Brook-j lyn and Giants at 3 to 1. This at least indicates how closely matched the betting men consider the four main pennant contenders. However, there has been no pre- evidence strong enough to justify preference for the Cubs over the Cardinals.

The Cardinals have proved their case. They have all around class and they have, the pitching. The Cubs' chances hinge on too many makes "ifs." a real If Rogers come-back, Bell or Jurges fills the bill at third base and if the cJub gets more consistent pitching than it did in 1930, the Brains will have at least an even chance to win tlie battle royal. Then there's why renew this argument for the 99th time? The box scores are telling the story in more Interesting fashion already. ROCKNE TRIBUTE Harvard's A.

A. News adds this tribute to Knute Rockne: "Rockne gave to football the shift behind a balanced line. He gave to football coaching scores of young men. He gave to the game the idea of concentration on detail to which he attributed his success. He added football literature by his contributions.

"He was a force for great good among thousands of boys who know him only by reputation, boys in an impressionistic stage many of whom possibly were made better boys by vhis stories of George Gipp and others. "He save to the world an amazing personality and a will to win. Through the deeds of his teams and tlie men he coached, he gave'. move one fignt talk to the country at large. "Knute "Rockne has gone to join Percy D.

Haughton gridiron, immortal. They leave to othcr'iuen their most valuable contributions to the greatest of American college games." COACHES There about the University of Illinois believes it has. turned out pev- more coaches than any other singW institution, in view, of the fact that 400 graduates of its four-year course in athletic coaching and physical training now are employed as aches or physical directors through- the Eighty 'will be adder? to the list in June. Notre Dame has contributed upwards of. 60 men to the ranks of college football coaches, but the graduates of the Fighting Irish have not gone much beyond this specialty.

Illinois covers: a wider field. At Ui-fcana, the embryonic coach can Get his training under Bob Zuppke in football, Harry Gill in track, Craig Ruby in basketball, Carl Lundgren in bp.setap.il. Only a small percentage qualify as varsity athletes themselves, adding further proof to the fact that it isn't necessary to be a star player in order to be a good teacher. Grimes Hurls First Shutout "Bump" Hadley of Washington and Burlelgh Grimes, veteran spitballer of the St. Louis Cardinals shared the topmost hurling honors.

Hadley limited Philadelphia to four hits while the Senators fell on Big George Earnshaw for five runs in the fourth inning and a 7 to 1 victory. Grimes pitched the year's first shutout, setting the Cincinnati Reds down with seven blows as the Cards won 4-0. Red Lucas.went the route for Cincinnati, Bob Smith of the Chicago Cubs and Claude "Weeping" Willoughby of Pittsburgh staged a full length duel, the Cubs their second straight 0 to 5. Manager Rogers Hornsby provided the winning run with a homer. Braves, Browns Surprise Continuing the surprises of the Hornsby opening: day, the Boston Braves and if either St.

Louis Browns each won a second successive game and joined the Cubs, Cardinals and New York Yankees in the top positions of the two leagues. Effective pitching with good hitting behind it told the talc in each case.j Although both were hit rather j- freely, Sammy Grey of St. Louis; bested Waite Hoyt of Detroit to gain a 6 to' 4 triumph. Both hurled the full game. Seibold held the Brooklyn Robins to eight hits to give the braves a 9 to 3 triumph.

1 The New York teams figured inj i the leading slugging contests. With i Lou Gehrig's first home run as thej big blow, the Yankees scored five- runs in the first inning then barely' outlasted the Boston Red Sox, putting over a j'un in the. ninth to win 8-7. The Phillies slammed five Giant pitchers and scored eight runs in the second inning to triumph 10-7. Chuck Klein's third homer in two days was the In the remaining game, the Chicago White Sox squared their series with Cleveland by a 7 to 6 10-hining victory.
