Pacific Coast Season
Opens with Fist Fight
Enlivening Dull Day
By Associated Press
There was a little bit of every
thing tossed into the day-and-night
opening of the 1951 Pacific Coast
league baseball season.
There was one topsotch pitching
performance. Red Embree of San
Diego was master of all situations
as he shut out San Francisco, 6-0.
Portland and Oakland split a
doubleheader. It was a battle of
home runs. Portland won the day
game, 5 to 3 and Oakland the nigh,
contest, 8 to 4.
Hollywood, the really “hot” team
in spring training and twice con
queror of the New York Yankee,
had its ears pinned back by Sacra
mento, 5 to 4, before 12,432 fans.
Los Angeles and Seattle struggle:
through a nightmarish night open
er with Seattle scoring three run:
in the ninth to gain a 12 to 9 de
cision. Joe Montalvo. Seattle catch
er, hit two homers, and his second
one was the winning blow. A fis,
fight in the fifth between Catchei
Billy Raimondi of the Angels and
Pitcher Charley Shanz of the Rain
iers enlivened an otherwise dull ex
hibition.
Baseballs lame duck commissioner.
A, B. (Happy) Chandler, threw out
the first ball at the Los Angeles
game and looked better than any oi
the hurlers who followed him.
Only 3,030 watched Portland hum
ble Oakland ih the opener as littK
Marino Pieretti, the pint-size Ital
ian, limited the Oaks to seven hits.

KENTUCKY
IS WINNER
NCAA TITLE
MINNEAPOLIS, March 28 — N\—
Ever start your car up a long hill
only to have it stop half way to the
top because it ran out of gas?
That’s also a description of Lew
Hitch, Kansas State center. Last
night in the NCAA title-deciding
game which Kentucky won, 68 to 58
with a rousing last half rally.
For the first half hitch, a mere
six foot seven inch ceuier. inaue
seven foot Bill Spivey, his Kentucky
rival, look almost inexperienced.
Then came the second half. Spivey
kept right on going. Hitch all but
stopped. And when Spivey took
command cf the rebounding, Ken
tucky wiped out a two-point half
time deficit to saunter to its third
NCAA title in four years.
Hitch snagged nine rebounds dur
ing the entire game but only one
came in the second half. Spivey
split his 21 rebounds almost down
the middle with 12 coming after*the
intermission, which found Kansas
State ahead 29 to 27.
