The National League champion Brooklyn Dodgers tasted defeat at the hands of the Giants 4-3, The highly rated Milwaukee Braves also were dumped in Cincinnati 9-8. The well-regarded Boston Red Sox were knocked off by the lowly Philadelphia Athletics 6-4. high-flying St.

Louis Cardinals were soundly thrashed by the Chicago Cubs 13-4 The hustling Chicago White Sox were stalled by Cleveland 8-2 And the fighting Philadelphia Phillies were upset by the upstart Pittsburgh Pirates 4-2 Matthews Homers Twice Otherwise everything went according to script well, nearly everything. Eddie Mathews, whose home runs made him king of majors in 1953, whacked two out of the park for the Braves. Roy Campanella. the runs- bawed-in champion last year, cracked two homers for the Dodgers. Mickey Vernon.

AL batting champion, homered for Washington to beat the Yankees in a 10- inning tussle. Sal Maglie, who has made a living out of whipping the Dodgers, beat again. And the old St. Louis Browns, who are now the new Baltimore Orioles, lost a 3-0 shutout in Detroit. Crowds totaling 236.414 turned out in generally cool, sunny weather to watch the 16 teams get under way.

C. Penney team The Softball Association made it clear that it had no idea of burking the baseball program which is one of the finest of any city in the Upper Peninsula and many riownsiate The idea is to supplement it so that all the youngsters will get a chance to take part in the sports program. Tt is obvious that not all the young boys can play in the junior bull piograms now in operation There are many kids who would like to play baseball but are not able to do so for several reasons And it is also likely that there are some youngsters who would prefer to play softball rathei than baseball. We feel that the softball plan should encouraged and supported by the people in Eseanaba who want our youngsters actively engaged in healthy, safe, and well-supervised activities Whether it is baseball, softball, skating, swimming or what have more activities we have to offer the kids the better they'll like it and be influenced by the adult guidance provided. It is nearly time for the senior softball program to get under ay A preliminary meeting of officers and members of the board of control of the Association will be held this evening at 6:30 at Memorial Field to lay the groundwork for the clean-up oampaign to be held April 24.

Incidentally, the call for youngsters interested in taking part in the junior program is for next Monday, April 19. at 1:30 at the Eseanaba Recreation Center All hoys from seven to 16 years of age interested will meet with Paul Vardigan, softball commissioner.
