11 THE HARTFORD COURANT: SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 1919. Chiefs Top Pitching Prospect Undefeated Yankees Turn Back With Malice Toward None BY BILL LEE Sports Editor. Red Sox, 5 3, Before Stranahan, Harvie Ward Gain Finals Toledo Belter Routs Palmer As Defending Champ Nips Chapman BY BOB ZAIMAN. Pinehurst, N. Cm April 22 Har Opening Day Crowd STAUNCH Yankee standbys, of which there are many thousands in this area, are having a barrel of fun over the great start made by their favorites.

The Yanks started the race in about the shape a midget racing car would be in after a collision with a Mack truck. Their greatest star, Joe DiMaggio, was not even in uniform and the club faced the prospect of getting along without him for an indefinite period painful to think about. Indeed, two thirds of their outfield was out of action, for Charley Keller also was unable to play. The first base situation was desperate and the catching a source of worry, with two of the team's better receivers unable to play. Everyone said it was a good thing they had pitching depth because Frank Shea, one of the mound dependable, cracked up it spring training.

Just as the season opened, disaster and despair spread among the Bronx Bombers. Erwin Porterf ield, to give him his true monicker, tore a ligament loose and may be unable to pitch the first six weeks of the After the first game, one of the club's genuine pros, Snuffy Stirnweiss, injured his hand and had to be benched. Gosh, things were so bad on this once solid team that a Red Sox fan could actually feel sorry for poor Casey Stengel. Ol' Case must have felt almost as if-he were back managing the humpty-dumpty Braves of ten years ago. Almost but not quite.

I A safes mffmmu No sir. Things were gloomier night, but Ol' Case didn't complain too much. The boys won their opener because Tommy Henrich hit a home run at precisely the right time. A man gets weary of hearing radio sportscasters refer to Henrich as "Old Reliable" and with the name when they see it headlines. Yet I can see where it is constantly busting up ball games or plucking a twisting fly right out row of the right field stands.

WILLING TO TRADE OLD Bob Buhl, a young righthander drafted from Saginaw, by Milwaukee last fall and subsequently optioned to Hartford, has been the Chiefs' most impressive hurler in spring training. He didn't allow a run In several appearances and hurled seven innings In one game, the longest any hurler went in South Carolina exhibitions. Reliable is the name for Tommy Henrich. I'd be willing to let the radio boys and baseball writers liable" if only they would quit saying or writing "Marse every tune theyhave occasion to mention the manager of the Red Sox Goicoechia, Buhl To Pitch This must have been somebody's a lantern-jawed Buffalo Irishman, is in Kentucky, where they have colonels, suh, and if you can think that's sufficient excuse for calling McCarthy Marse Joe, write me Record At Boston Score Fourth Straight Win Of Campaign i Iliiffhson Has Trouble With Control in First Start of Season Boston, April 22. (AP) The undefeated New York Yankees; with strange faces in many posij tions, won their fourth consecutive game today and at the same time spoiled Boston's American League home opener by whipping the Ked Sox, 5-3.

The largest opening day crowd in the history of Fenway Park. 33.953, saw Boston pitchers dole out nine abases on balls and Yankee hurlers give eight. lex iiughson made his Iirst start of the season and didn't do too well. The tall righthander. who went to Texas to pitch in the hot sun last season after two arm operations, walked six Yankees and was rapped for five hits in six innings.

The loss, however, was charged to Lefty Earl Johnson, second of four Boston hurlers. Allie Reynolds, starting and winning New York pitcher, wasn't much better as he walked five and was banged for all seven Red Sox hits. Phil Rizuto started the rally by rapping a single to center. Johnny Lindell and Tommy Henrich walked, filling the bases. Riz-zuto scored as Yogi Berra forced Henrich.

Billy Johnson then lashed a safety to center, scoring Lindell and driving Earl out of the game. Dave Ferriss got Gene Wood-ling on a fly to center but Dick Kryhoski blasted a two-bagger into center field to score Berra from second with the third run of the inning. The New Yorkers first two runs were driven in by Reynolds in the sixth. The Yankee hurler poked a hard single past Bobby Doerr into right field, scoring Lindell and Hank Bauer, both of whom had been walked by Hugh-son. Doerr tripled off the center field wall in the second and scored on an error after being trapped off third.

Billy Johnson had fielded Walt Dropo's grounder and thrown to the plate but Johnson dropped Berra's return throw. Doerr also scored Boston's second run in the sixth. He drew a base on balls, was sacrificed to second and raced home on Dropo's left field safety. Bauer's throw to the platet was wide and Dropo went to second whence he scored on Billy Goodman's two-bagger into the left field corner. Goodman batted for Hughson after Birdie Tebbetts also had walked.

The Browns made their two runs off Pieretti on a pair of walks, a double by Bob Dillinger, a single by Dick Kokos and a long fly hit by Jack Graham.

Vernon's Hit InTenthWins For Indians Gene Bcardcn Limits Tigers to Six Hits As 63,725 Look on Cleveland, April 22. (UP.) Jim (Mickey) Vernon slashed a single off George Kell glove to score Larry Doby from second base in the tenth inning today with the run that gave the Cleveland Indians a 4 to 3 victory over the Detroit Tigers before 63,725 fans. Vernon, formerly of the Washington Nats, drove in the winning run off Paul (Dizzy) Trout, who had relieved Fred Hutchinson in the ninth. Southpaw Gene Bearden, a 20-game winner in 1948, went the distance for the Indians and was backed up by the timely hitting of Joe Gordon, who drove in three Cleveland runs with two hits. The Tigers got just six hits off Bearden.

Doby led off the tenth and was safe on Nicl Berry's error. Lou Boudreau's sacrifice moved him to second and Gordon was purposely passed, setting the stage for Vernon. Today's crowd was far short of last year's record gathering of fans, who watched the Indians in their first game at home. It rained two hours before the game time today, however, cutting down the size of the crowd.

The sportswriters should assign pickets to Yankee Stadium. They would be well advised to carry signs reading, "Yankees unfair to organized experts." What's the matter with those dopes Stengel is managing? Don't they know the experts picked them to finish anywhere from third, to fifth? Down in Sarasota during spring training the Red Sox permeated confidence that was contagious. We experts hopped right on the Boston bandwagon. Wise men that we are, we remembered that the Sockers got off to an atrocious start last season and still finished the campaign tied for first place. This time, we all agreed sagely, good old Mar--, I mean, Joe McCarthy would get them away to a flying start.

So what happens? The Red Sox drop three of their first four and the crippled Yankees, with no hope of getting anywhere 'until their injured key operatives return to the lineup, cop their first four and, at this writing, have yet to lose an official ball game. All right Ha! Ha! The joke is on us experts who picked the Red Sox and relegated the poor, bedraggled Yankees to fourth, maybe fifth. But remember, he who laughs last laughs best. As I told Art Rosenthal, a colleague of mine and a Yankee rooter from way back, who called me two minutes after the last man was out at Fenway Park yesterday: "Call me back on the Fourth of July." IT WON'T ALWAYS BE LIKE THIS. Seriously, the badly crippled Yankees came out of the starting pits like Jesse Owens and the loaded Red Sox have sputtered like a wet fuse.

It is much too early to read any significance into the results of the first three or four ball games. Over in the National League, th Cincinnati Reds, popular choice to finish last, were leading the league when Friday morning's papers came off the press. Yet no one believes the Reds are an underrated team that might fool everybody by finishing in the first division. The Yankees have won with the always helpful combination of strong pitching and timely hitting.

Chapman never even bothered to try his putt, conceding the match to Ward. Chapman had all kinds of trouble with his putter and led for only one brief instant in the duel. He had several openings after being only one down at the end of 18 but the torecast ot his downfall came on the second hole of the afternoon round. Chapman had a tiny two footer for a win on this hole to even the duel but he stroked the ball too lightly and it stopped on the rim of the cup.

Manager Browne is pointing for his opening Eastern League game at Albany next Wednesday, and a good performance by Goicoechia tomorrow might earn him the opening day assignment. The Cuban southpaw has pitched 14 innings of exhibition ball this spring in which he has allowed but four runs on 11 hits. He is also the strikeout champion on the squad with 21 to his credit.

The weather tonight makes it extremely doubtful that there will be any action here tomorrow. There was still rain in the air tonight, but the weather forecast is clear and cold for tomorrow. Outfielder Jack Daniels, who has been out of action with a strained leg muscle, may return to the lineup tomorrow if Scranton uses a righthanded pitcher. The Miners, who won the Eastern League pennant last year, have practically a new lineup. Mike Ovaduke and Bob DiPietro are the outstanding holdovers, Ovaduke is an outfielder while Di Pietro alternated between second base and the outfield last year.

According to local news sources. the Wilkes-Barre Barons may open the season with three Negro players. Al Smith, who played for the Barons last year, is back again. Jimmy Rooney Kayoes Ramirez at Bridgeport Bridgeport. April 22.

Indicative of the times is the note from the Philadelphia Phillies, who claim that 80 per cent of their current personnel is col lege bred.

There are several outstanding baseball men who now are serv? ing as college coaches. Fellows like Andy Coakley of Columbia; Jack Coombs of Duke; Joe Judge, Georgetown; Ray Fisher, Michigan: Sam Barry, Southern Cali fornia; Billy Disch, Texas; Ethan Allen, Yale; Charley Gelbert, La-Fayette and Eppie Barnes, Col gate. College coaches have been in strumental in sending many boys into the organized ranks. It is a fairly common practice among sev eral college coaches to "reserve" star players for a preferred professional club. The practice became so obvious that Baseball Commissioner A.

B. Chandler issued a bulletin to all major and minor league clubs last week reeardinc the matter. "It is a bad policy," Chandler said, "for high school and college coaches to serve as scouts for professional baseball clubs. Profes sional baseball clubs are advised American.
