The Cubs gave it the big try under their new manager, Bob Kennedy, a Chicagoan identified more in baseball as a former White Sox star. Larry Jackson was a worthy opponent for Drysdale, 25-game winner last, year and recipient of the Cy Young Memorial award. It, was 3 to 1 when Jackson, newcomer from the St.

Louis Cardinals, gave way to a pinch batsman in the seventh inning. Of the three runs, one scored on a balk by Jackson and the other was started on its way by Don Landrum's two-base error in centerfield. Fourteen reached base while Drysdale was on the way to his sixth successive victory over the Cubs, who last beat him in August of 1960 when Glen Hobbie was a 1 to 0 winner. There were 11 hits against the big side-armer and three of them were doubles. Double plays helped Don in three consecutive innings after the Cubs had briefly enjoyed a 1 to 1 tie, scoring their run in the fifth.

The Cubs had runners on base every inning except 111 7tb BEATS TIGERS, 7 TO 5 i BY RICHARD DOZER ICnicnte Trlbone Press Service Detroit, April 9 It may take 161 more games if not several seasons to prove out, but the Chicago White Sox today won the first test of the winter trade that shook baseball's Hot Stove league. And they won it big, using the shocked Detroit Tigers as a pawn. First, it was Rookie Pete Ward, one of the four players acquired by the Sox from Baltimore, who stepped into the hero's role with a three-run homer that climaxed a salvo of four unearned tallies in the seventh inning off an understandably distraught Jim Bunning. Then it fell to the dean of baseball's relief pitchers, Hoyt Wilhelm, to pitch three perfect innings at his chosen profession and put the lock on, a 7 to 5 verdict over the despondent Tigers in windswept Tiger stadium. Thus, for the fifth time in succession, the White Sox of Al Lopez emerged a winner in opening day competition.

Today, the spoils of victory went, not to Wilhelm, but to Frank Baumann, the middle man in Lopez's recurrent dips into the bullpen which thrust five of his 10 active pitchers into competition. A cold northerly wind made this a bitter day for the 37,781 fans. The temperature dropped from 49 to 42 degrees during Mi 15 V. complete unusual double play in third inning. Umpire is Ed Vargo.

Mk. the game. Herbert Routed in 2d For a time, it appeared that it would be equally uncomfortable for the White Sox, who have rarely looked worse while they committed one error in the early stages, played a couple more apparent outs into base hits, and fell behind, 4 to 0, by the second inning. Starter Ray Herbert, victim of eight bits, was chased in this round. But Bunning, who held the other "half' of the controversial Baltimore trade, Dave Nicholson and Ron Hansen, to nothing more than a harmless single, could not deny the Sox, who began to play in the third inning as tho they were embarrassed at what had gone before.

Cunningham Hits Triple The Sox sharpened on defense, and they put together two mighty rallies both of them started by pinch hitters.

The right hander, a 19-game winner a year ago, yielded only a pair of singles one a scratch hit when he fell while fielding a tap in front of the plate by Leo Cardenas in the eighth inning until Frank Robinson opened the ninth with a single. Strikeouts End Game A double by John Edwards scored Robinson, but then Gene Freese took a third strike and Mahaffey ended the game by striking out Tommy Harper. Joey Jay, a 21-game winner last year, was the loser as he was to Mahaffey in the opener one year ago. Error Decides Game The run which proved to be the winner came in the sixth when Johnny Callison doubled with one out and Gonzalez walked. Wes Covington hit a double-play ball to Pete Rose, but, Gordy Coleman erred on the relay from and Callison scored from second base.

Score: Maury Wills, the Dodgers shortstop, whose 104 thefts last year set an all-time record, played for two innings on a wounded left ankle after a first attempt to assert his blinding speed was frustrated in the third inning. Wills, trying to score from second base on an infield out, was retired at home. When the Dodgers took the field in the sixth, Dick Tracewski was at shortstop and Maury was in the clubhouse, his left ankle packed in ice. It had been jammed in the slide to the plate and Wills aggravated the ankle injury while batting in the top of the sixth inning. This was the Cubs' first National league home opener in four years, but the result was no different than in the last three Aprils in their role of visitors.

Last spring, the Cubs were blanked in Houston by the then brand new Colt 45s. This shocker was followed by six more defeats before the Cubs won one. Ron Santo, 23-year-old third baseman, Kennedy's choice as fourth-place hitter over Ernie Banks, justified his new spot yesterday. Ron opened the second inning with a double which would easily have cleared the left-field catwalk wall except for the strong breeze blowing in toward home plate. Santo singled in the three-hit, run-scoring fifth, but Banks, with two runners on, ended it with a strikeout.

After Santo's second-inning double, Ernie had moved him to third with a fly ball. Banks Gets Double Banks matched Santo with a leadoff single in the fourth inning and a slightly freakish double in the eighth. After Jackson left, Barney Schultz was slick in the eighth inning, but he failed to finish in the two-run ninth. As if to YESTERDAY'S RESULTS CHICAGO AREA MISCELLANEOUS Lone Tech, St. Mel, 0.

Ap wirephoto MaiorLeaflies NATIONAL LEAGUE BY ROBERT MARKUS Midway thru yesterday's National league opener in Wrigley field, the band broke into "Jingle Bells." It was far more appropriate to the weather than was the baseball game going on down on the field between the Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers.

Because, folks, it was cold out there. Temperature at game time, when Larry Jackson whipped a strike past the Dodgers Maury Wills, was 35, albeit the sun was shining. Fans Dress for Cold Most of the fans were snugly dressed, apparently and luckily forgetting that the Bears ended their season back in December.

Roberts 10-. Chicago Tribune Press Service Detroit, April 9 A grinning young infielder from the province of Quebec was living proof today of the wonders that a game-winning home run can work in the confidence of a man unfolding his talents in a new domain. No, Pete Ward is not new to baseball. He should be a hockey player by rights as his dad was. But Pete has been strictly a baseball man from the day his father packed the family off to Oregon when the young man was a grammar school lad in Montreal.

No, Pete Ward wasn't even new to the major leagues when the White Sox picked him up as "the guy we have to have," according to General Manager Ed Short in his frequent ap praisal of the winter deal with Baltimore. Day to Remember Even so, Rookie Ward, a 23-year-old prospect who got into eight games with the 1962 Orioles, will never forget today a chilly adventure before a hostile crowd in Tiger stadium. They were saying already in baseball circles here that this is the day upon which Ward will look back and say, "I became a major leaguer on April 9, 1963." This was the scene of his first major league home run, a powerfully stroked "clothes-liner" that Catcher J. C. Martin said, "You coulda' hung two week's wash on."

Chicago Tribune Press Service ATLANTA, APRIL 9 Look for Charley Trippi, the all-time great of the gridiron, to forsake his assistant post at the University of Georgia and join the St Louis football Cardinals. Trippi was a professional star with the Cards, who were then based in Chicago.

During World War he played three times for the college an ordinary table, and placed a cigar box on one corner. The cup would be up in the cigar box thing, but the whole table would be part of the green. "This day I was with Lawson Little, one of the best rules lawyers in the game. We were drenched. It was raining hard.

The No. 17 green was narrow, but I reached it and my ball stopped on the lower level, which was completely covered with water. "Ordinarily, I would have had to chip up to the terrace, or plateau. A very difficult putt But I was in casual water, and the rules said that I could go the nearest point of relief. The only point of relief was up on the terrace, where it was dry.

So I moved up there, and scored with a flat and easy putt "I didn't putt, tho, before I had counsel with Little. He assured me I was within the rules, even tho in this situation the rules certainly aided me." AT THE AGE OF 81, H. C. Elmore is threatening to resign his post as custodian of the main scoreboard at the Masters tournament in Augusta, Ga. Elmore says he will not return next year unless the Augusta National Golf club provides him with a rolling ladder the type you see in the old shoe stores so that he does not have to clammer down each time the ladder must be moved along the big board.

"I kept track this year," says Elmore, a former South Bend, newspaper photographer, "and I climbed more than two unnecessary miles because they couldn't move the ladder on a Elmore says his most famous sports photo was the snap of Notre Dame's Four Horsemen Harry Stuhldreher, Elmer Lay-den, Jimmy Crowley, Don Miller which was conceived and set up by George trickier, now assistant sports editor of the Tribune. "But there is another one that makes me look pretty proud, now," recalled Harry. "Notre Dame playing Pittsburgh, and I got a shot of this mean Irish end blocking out three Pittsburgh guys on one touchdown play. The Notre Dame man was Hugh Devore, who now is their head coach at South Bend." who scores 50 golf tournaments a year, sends his regards to Jim Gallagher, former general manager of the Cubs, and now a high ranking colonel in Commissioner Ford Frick's office. "I remember one year when Notre Dame played Army," recalled Elmore.

"Gallagher hid under my lower berth until the tickets were picked up and then he had a free train ride into New York." ROCKY MARCIANO, who vacated boxing's heavyweight championship when he still was unbeaten, is very high on Jeff Davis, the Doc Kearns protege. "Jeff has the talent, and a great mental says Rocky, who has been counseling Davis. "And imagine the kind of gate we can draw if we could match Cassius Clay versus Jeff Davis." More from Horton Smith, the golf great who has played in all 27 Masters' tournaments and won two of them: "Saturday's play reminded me of 1936, when I won in the rain. Back then, they had terraced greens on some holes. Like you had side in Chicago's annual All-Star game.
