Baseball Teams Have Shiny New Look As Season Opens Tomorrow By Jack Hand NEW YORK April 13 - (AP)- Good old ' shakewell gives baseball a shiny new look for '52 with a 40 per cent tumcver in .he opening-day line-ups. Tuesday's '.., boxscore. will be minus such funnier names as Joe DiMaggio, Sam Chapman, Lou Boudieau, Bobby Doerr and Hal Newhouser. In their places you'll find the likes of Ed Mathews, Dick Hall, Bobby Del Greco, Jim Rivera and Leo Thomas. Only 88 of last year's 144 starters will be in the same line-ups. The most drastic shake-ups were in the houses of St. Louis Browns, Pittsburgh Pirates and Boston Braves. The Rogers Hornsby- Bill Veeck team at St. Louis swept out most of the old furniture thatl cluttered up the cellar. Branch! Rickey's latest crop of rookie won- ders is about to take over the: iirates. Youth-minded Tommy Holmes has moved most of the Milwaukee Little World Series champions into Braves Field. The "experts" pick Cleveland und Brooklyn as the world series opponents in tight finishes with New York Yankees and Giants. Most of them expect a two-club race in each league. There is a scattering of support for Detroit, Chicago and Boston in the Amer- ican and St. Louis, Philadelphia .and Boston in the National. One writer picked the revamped Brown- ies to win it all. Struggling with Lineups An umber of injuries left the managers still struggling with their line-ups in the final exhibition games. Monte Irvin's broken ankle forced manager Leo Durocher to make over his Giant outfield, buying Bob Elliott from Boston and moving Hank Thomp- son to centre field to replace army- bound Willie Mays. When Detroit lost Hoot Ever: for a month with a broken thumb, manager Red Rolfe had to two-platoon his out- field in left and centre. The armed s6'rvices snatched Don Newcombe from Brooklyn, Lloyd Merriman from Cincinnati and others. Ted Williams of the Red Sox and Gerry Coleman of the Yanks are due to report to the Marines May 2. With a break from the weather- man. the majors should draw some 250,000 for each eight openers. rhere will be no special preview opener at Washington or Cincin- nati this season.

It was wriirtcn shortly after llLouis had lost to Marciano and it ,was captioned something like j"l.ouls Wins Ills Greatest Fight." iAs might be expected it wasn't ;about one of his victories in the y,e5.-o(.geven:ring but rather his efforts to pay led the Ch3rl0"v9WWn 3hll'PSh00t- back the huge sums of taxes which -he owed to the United States Gov- crnmeni. C O I The writer revieuxd the history of Joe's life. He rccalled the grcir victories which were his and also the way in which he lavis-lied gifts upon his friends. the poor and anybody who wanted a lift. He told of the poor investments which friends had made for him and how Joe lost his money. He also wrote about the time Louis spent in the Army and how when he came out he found himself a poor man. Finally he came to the point where Joe discovered he owed a quaria: of a million dollars to the government. I O C This was the reason. stated the noted sports authority why Joe kept on fighting. He wanted to pay back those taxes and the only honest way he knew how was by fighting. In order to square him- self with the government. he took the risk of blindness, punchincss and mental derangcment by meet- ing fighters who wouldn't last a round with him ten years before. Joe. stated the writer, was teach- ing a lesson to an American pub- he who were hearing of little but corrupt and dishonest officials who were practising wholesale swindling.

He thought that Dick "Kid" Howard of Halifax could lick Mel-Eater in about four rounds as McFater was a good puncher but not much of a boxer. Poulton should have about as good an idea as anyone regarding the relative merits of the two men as he has fought against one and worked out with 'he other.

April 13 - (OP) - The powerhouse Detroit Red Wings, galloping at a goal-a-period pace. ”',, ' Canadians 3-0 here tonight to take their third straight victory in the best-oh seven Stanley Cup finals. They did it with a finesse that tickled the 14,018 Easter night fans. It was their second victory of the week-end - they defeated Canad- iens 2-1 at Montreal Saturday - and the stage now is set for the wings to wrap it up in the fourth game here Tuesday. Gordie Howe, the National Hoc- key ,f..eague's leading scorer who hadn't clicked in six previous games. broke out for s two-goal produc- tion etfort that broke the back of the hard-pressed Oanadiens. He scored in the first and third period: and llne-mate Ted Lindsay notch- ed the other, a 65-foot fluke shot that H tonished everybody in the arena, including the 26-year-old left-winger. Lindsay's goal, a high blooper from outside.the Montreal blue-- line that bounced in front of goal- keeper Gerry"McNell and took a crazy hop high into the nets. ap- peared to take the heart out of the Canadians. They tried hard, partic- ularly in the last minute of the second period, but couldn't get past Terry Sawchuk, Vezina Trophy winner. ' l-!owe's second goal. at 6:54 of the final session, settled the issue. The Wings, riding easily on their three-goal lead, took it almost cas- ually from therein and contented themselves with checking the des- perate Canadlens who had a tough time trying to dent the Detroit de- fence. Canadiens were without two reg- ulars - defenceman Uollard St. Laurent who suffered a scraped eyeball in Saturday night's game, and Billy Reay who hurt his right knee. Stan Long, up from Buffalo, a Montreal farm club in the Am- ericn Hockey League. took over for st. Laurent and Paul Masnick fill- ed Reay's spot on the forward wail.

The occasion was Skaters visit with his granddaughter, Pamela Lemaire, a member of the cast of Miss Scott's Hollywood Ice Revue, The show was holding a practice session. The problem wasn't to keep Reynolds from falling down but to persuade him that a half-hour of skating was enough. After :1 preliminary warm-up with both girls holding his arms, ”Slmter" showed Miss Scott how he and his wife, the late Nclllc Donegan of Australia, skated in Flo Ziegfeld show of 1907-11. Reynolds' tests as a speed skat- er included an 8.8-second 100-yard dash at Detroit in 1898. It isn't in the books because he had a helping wind. The standing Un- ited States record is 9.4 seconds by Charles Jewsiraw at Lake Placid in 1923. Reynolds set the National A. A.
