eason With Victories

By RALPIIVRODEN

NEW YORK, April 17 - (AP) -- The world champion New York Yankees and the National League champion Philadelphia Phillies started off on the right foot today as the 1951 major league baseball season opened on eight fronts.

Cold weather in all areas put a damper on the inaugurais and cut sharply into the attendance. Only 163,393 fans paid their way into the (seven parks for the day affairs. Washington invaded Philadelphia. tonight for the first night opener in American League history. .

Last year, 252,700 customers paid for the eight day openers.

Vic Raschi, crack righthander. pitched the Yanks to a 5-0. six-hit victory over the highly-rated Boston Red Sox before 44,860 fans at Yank- ee Stadium.

Robin Roberts. who clinched the Phils' first flag in 35 years with a victory over Brooklyn the last day of the 1950 season, pitched the Fails to a 5-2 decision over the Dodgers before 19,217 fans at Eb- liets field.

New York Giants, in prime can- didate to wrest the crown from the Phlls, opened up with a smart 4-0 victory over the Braves in Boston. Larry Jansen blanked the Braves on five safeties in 50 degree temp-

erature.

Bob Lemon turned in a neat two- hitter as Cleveland Indians edged Detroit Tigers 2-1 to spoil opening day for 43,470 shivering fans at Detroit.

In the other American League day opener Chicago White Sox smeared the Browns 17-3 in St. Louis.

Pittsburgh 'Pirates, who jumped the gun by opening in Cincinnati Monday, scored their second straight "opening day" victory by nipping St. Louis Cardinals 5-4 be- fore 25.894 fans at Pittsburgh.

Cincinnati dropped its second straight game, losing 8-3 at Chl- cago's Wrigley Field.

At the Stadium, Raschi survived a rocky start to rack up the Red Sox in brilliant style. Jackie Jensen stole the show from the Yanks' highly publicized rookie, Mickey Mantle. Jensen launched the scor- ing. with a two-run homer in the third and paved the way for Bill wights exit with a double in the sixth that began a three-run game- clinching rally.

Lemon and Hal Newhouser wow- ed the fans with their brilliant hurling duel at Detroit. The Ind- ians won out in the ninth when Larry Doby scored from third on. an error by Johnny Lipon.

PAGI3: SIX

Activity over the local hockey

front is over ilor another year, but there is still plenty of inter- est in the sport for local enthus- iasts who will now be turning their full attention to two import- ant series, the Stanley Cup finals between Leafs and Canadians. and the Valleyfleld Braves-Syd- ney Millionaires meetings along the Alexander Cuip pliayoff trail. Both will hold widespread inter- est in hockey oircles here this

week.

The opening of the Val1eyvfield- Sydney series at the Cape Breton capital tonight will probaibly hold the greatest inteiest for local fans, -however. Except for a few tough breaks it could have been an Islanders-Valleyfizld scrim here instead, and all will be anxious to see how the Mari- time ch-am-ps are going to fare out against the Quebec Major win- nens.

The series will be an opportun- ity for local fans to make a com- parison as to how their Islanders would have stacked Lllp against Quebec. had they won the right to continue on along the Alex- ander Curp playoff trail. There was so little to choose from be- tween the two Maritime clubs, that whichever -way the series goes for Sydney, will pretty well determine how the series would have gone for Islanders too. in fact many still think here that the Islanders would have been the best clulb to carry the hopes of the Marltimes into the Quebec- Maritime playoffs. .

But that is all so much water under the bridge now. Sydney is still the team that will carry the banner for the seaside provinces. despite the fact that many have their reasons for Lliiiuking they shouldn't be. and everyone will be wishing the Millionaires luck in their forthcoming battles to bring the silverware to the Mari- timee. It is the first year that the Alexander Trophy has been com- peted for, and if it should come to the Maritimes, it will be a big boost for Maritime Major hockey. It is looking a long way ahead, but the possiibiliiies are there.

0 O 0

In any event, it will be inter- esting be see how it will all turn out. There will be at least two games in Sydney, with the sec- ond slaited for Thursday night. and if the first twot games are split. another match will -be play- ed in Sydney Saturday. The idea is to give the Maritime team a chance to win two home games before the scene of the best of seven series shifts to Quebec ice. Two consecutive wins one way or the other. will send the third game of the seria to Montreal on Sunday, with the remaining games of the series to be played there next week.

Saints And ll.c.A.F. Play Here Tonight

The deciding game of the semi- finals between Sn-int Dunstan's University and Summei-side R. C. A. F. Myers in Island Physical "Fitness basketball competlon will get underway at the Prince of Wales College auditorium tonight at eight o'clock.

Saints hold an 11-point. margin over their western rivals. having won the opening game in suin- mernide last week by a score of 69- 49. To earn their spot in the fin- ali, Prince of Wales defeated Y.M. C.A. in the other semi-final sect-

Local Fans Learn

Baseball Kn.ow - How From Dodger Scout

Bill O'Connor. talent scout for the major league Brooklyn Dod- gers gave a very interesting and intellectual talk on baseball to L1 large crowd of fans at the Arm- ouries last night that touched off the baseball season for both the City and the Island.

O'Connor was introduced to the gathering by Art Perry of the Department of Physical Fitness for the Island and proceeded to give a talk on the three films to be shown.

The first of these three films was the Little League Champ- lonshlps between two teams made up of kids below the age of twelve. All the thrills of the ma- jor: and more were included in the game that brought out what the Department of Physical Flt- ness has been trying to encour- age during the past three sea- sons: organlziition of teams for the up and coming ball players of tomorrow.

The second film of the night showed fans of the City what .they missed over the radio of the World Series of 1950. the year in which the Yanks wrapped up the fall classic in four straight games against the Phlls. Incidentally Bill remarked that two other teams in the, National League. the Dodgers and the Giants, could have taken the Yanks as the New Yorkers were in the midst of ii slump.

For a good three-quarters of an hour before the final film was shown O'Connor held a quiz period. During this time he thought up intricate baseball problems and asked the answers from the crowd. The final film

was one which depicted the life"

of an umpire before and during a game.

so many minor details plus all the necessary tips on good urn- plrlng were shown in the film. which should encourage more of the grandstand arbiters to take

The winning goal came at 4:47 of the first overtime period. Ken- nedy. took a pass from Tod Sloan well inside the Montreal defensive zone, and drilled I herd Inxls shot that whittled into the not past goalie Gerry McNeil.'

The home crowd of 14,443 was caught ,. .. ed because only I short time before Maurice Rich- ard and Ken Mosrlell almost counted for Canadians in the wide-open battle for the winninz sudden-death goal.

Richard sent Csnadlens ahead in the first period on asrebound off Bert -Olmstead's shot. Sid Smith tied it up for the Leafs in the second period with n screened shot from near the boards on Max Bentley's pass.

It was the third overtime game fought by the two teams. Leafs won and lost in the first two games in Toronto. The clubs meet liere'Thursday night in the fourth game.

Tonight's game was wide open. but the checking was close, par- ticularly by the defences. In the full third period there were only eight shots on the nets by both teams. five by CH: adiens and

I three by Leafs.

Eight penalties. including a mis- conduct to Howie Meeker. were called. Canadians had four min- ors and the Leafs three.

Leafs had the edge on shots for the full game. 30-21.

Canadians raced into a lead at 2:18 of the opening period and threatened to score two or three more but goalie Al Rollins put on a great show.

Richard was sandwiched by the Leaf defence but came up fast and skated in to score the re- bound on Olmstead's shot.

Leafs had a wide edge of play in the second period. McNeil holding them up time and again with sensational saves. Penalties early in the period had Gsnadiens fighting to stave off the onrush- ing Leafs. The tying goal. like

R.iclisrd'. came when the scoring team had I man advantage. Bentley sent a short pass to

smith who cut loose with a hard drive from the left side. The puck whipped between McNeil and the goal post.
