SEALS DEFEAT
ANGELS 10-6;
RAINIERS LOSE
_
By Associated Press
They’re in last place but those
surprising San Francisco Seals most
assuredly aren't playing like a club
that figures to finish in the Pacific
Coast League cellar.
The Lefty O’Doulmen bopped Hol
lywood last night, 10 to 6. It was
the seventh win in the last nine
starts for San Francisco. This is the
ball team that lost its first 13 games.
Portland’s Beavers, setting the
pace today with 15 wins and seven
losses, nevertheless had their lead
cut to two games as San Diego
whipped them, 9 to 6.
Bob Gillespie pitched Sacramento
to a 6 to 2 decision over Seattle as
the Solons moved into sixth place
in the standing over the Rainiers.
Los Angeles and Oakland sat it
out last night as the Bay Area paid
homage to General MacArthur. The
clubs engage in a doubleheader to
night.
Hollywood’s following was watch- i
ing TV or listening to radio accounts 1
of the MacArthur celebration, for j
only 1,556 showed up to see Wally j
Hood, the ex-USC Trojan and ex
New York Yankee pitch his second
Coast League victory in as many
starts.
Gillespie held Seattle to seven hits
while the Sacs were collecting 10
from John Guldborg, Wewey Soriano
and Steve Nagy. Guldborg was
charged with the defeat.

BIG LEAGUES
OPEN SEASON
WITH UPSETS
By JOE REICHLER
Is this going to be another brides
maid year for Boston’s perennial
left-at-the-altar Red Sox?
Vic Raschi’s handcuffing of the
Sox sluggers for the New York Yan
kees yesterday may Ijave been just
one of those things. On the other
hand, it might have been a sign of
things to come. It smacks too much
of "the same old Red Sox” of the
past four years.
Watching the Sox being throttled
with six little singles made it al
most impossible to visualize them
as the same pulverizing team that
ran off 11 straight Grapefruit
League victories.
It made it easy to recall the Red
Sox of 1947-48-49-50, all-conquering
on paper. All-powerful in spring
training. All-mighty in the eyes of
most experts. All-America choice for
the flag.
The season’s opener proved a total
loss so far as Boston was concerned.
Not only were the Red Sox horse
collared, but the city's National
League representatives, jhe Braves
were goose-egged as Larry Jansen
of the Giants shut them out, 4-0.
with five little singles.
Dodgers Downed
Philadelphia’s defending cham
pion Phils downed Brooklyn’s Dodg
ers, 5-2 at Ebbets Field. Robin Rob
erts, whose final-day triumph over
the Brooks gave the Phils their first
flag in 35 years last season, again
thwarted the Dodgers.
Bob Lemon, king of the 1950
pitchers, threw a brilliant two-hitter
at the Tigers to pitch the Cleveland
Indians to a 2-1 triumph in Detroit.
Zarilla Bats Them
Outfielder A1 Zarilla blasted St.
Louis Brown pitching for a home \
run. double and single to lead the
White Sox to a 17-3 romp before
5,660 at St. Louis.
Murry Dickson pitched and batted
the Pirates to a 5-4 victory over the
St. Louis Cardinals in Pittsburgh.
The little righthander walloped his
first major league home run and
contributed a single in another
scoring rally.
Cubs Make Merry
The Chicago Cub'-, made merry
at the expense of Ken Raffensberg
er, whipping the Cincinnati Reds,
8-3.
Cold weather held the inaugural
crowds to a disappointing 171,678
fans at the eight parks. Last year
the eight openers drew 252,700 fans.
The biggest crowd of the day—
44,860 Yankee Stadium lar.s — saw
Jackie Jensen steal the show from
Mickey Mantle, the publicized New
York rookie flash. Jensen smashed
a two-run homer and doubled in
the sixth inning. Mantle singled in
four times at bat.
A crowd of 43,470 watched a pitch
ing duel between Lemon and Hal
Newhouser in Detroit.
Dick Sisler, Del Ennis and Mike
Goliat led the Phils nine-hit at
tack at Brooklyn before 19,217 chill
ed fan* Sisler, v'hose three-run
homer beat Brooklyn for the pen
nant last year, hit two singles and
scored twice. Ennis batted in three
runs with a homer and single. Go
liat socked a four-bagger in the sec
ond inning to gain the 'honor of
connecting with the first major
league homer of the year.

WE KNOW WHERE
WEIL HUNT FOR A
GOOSE NEXT FALL
A goose dinner is practically in
the bag for The Empire next fall.
The place to hunt has been found.
A short time ago employees at
tile airport rescued a goose from
two eagles who thought they had
their goose dinner cinched. The
goose had a broken leg and airport
personnel immediately contacted
tile Fish and Wildlife Service. Ur
ban "Pete" Nelson, federal aid mot
first) answered the call and took
the goose into custody,
t But When Pete lind to leave for
the Arctic recently, he turned the
potential dinner over to C. How
ird Baltzo ..and Baltzo now has the
?ocse comfortably quartered in his
yard at Fritz Cove.
All Silvester ithe goose) has to
do is bask in the sun and gorge
himself of dog meal mash, fur
nished and prepared by the Baltzo
family. He is growing fat and
friendly and practically runs the
3ali.ro menage,
When it was suggested the Ba’.t
•o family had a goose practically
rn the platter,' come hunting sea
on, Ealtzo winced.
"Eat Silvester?” he gasped. "We'd
feel like cannibals."
Come fall, some nimrods around
The Empire may be speculating on
x Canadian honker, dog-meal fed
and fat. A drumstick wouldn't be
so bad, even if it is broken.
Silvester, in case you're inter
ested, means “bred in the country.”
