Time.ly Hitting, Tight Hurling Combine to Give Brooks Nod BOSTON, April 15 (rP) Timely hitting by Catcher Roy Campanel-la and Billy Cox enabled south paw Preacher Roe to pitch the tsrooKiyn juoagers to a 3-2 opening game victory over the Boston Braves today under adverse weather conditions. Campanella, who clouted three of the 11 Dodger hits against left- nanuer. warren spahn, delivered a bases-loaded single while the Dodgers were doing all of their scoring in tne fifth inning. The Dodgers came uo to that frame trailing by a run, the result of switch-hitter Sam Jethroe's right-handed four-base smash over the left field fence in the third Inning.

Spahn had given up only three hits before Gil Hodges opened the fifth by drilling a single to left field. Carl Furillo followed with a hard smash that Second Baseman Billy Reed did well to knock down. Third Strike Bunt Thereupon Spahn got Roe on a third strike foul bunt and Pee Wee Reese lined out to right. Cox then scored Hodges with a single to left. Spahn loaded the bases by walking Jackie Robinson to set the stage for Campanella's game-winning single to right field.

It was hit so sharply that Cox and Furillo merely had to romp across the plate. The Braves registered their second counter in the bottom of the fifth when, with two out. Earl Torgeson lashed a two-bagger into right field and Sid Gordon, fol lowed with a tingle in the same general direction. Roe had little trouble with the Tribesmen from then on. He set down the last 13 rival batters to face him.

Little will be changed but the date. Mayor Joseph S. Clark will handle the first ball throwing duties. Vic Raschi still has the pitching assignment for the Yank ees and Alex Kellner is still the Athletics' nominee. STANDINGS ARIZONA-TEXAS LEAGUE Pet.
