This wepk,‘the major league baseball season opened, while h°0key was atill going the rounds. Rut, most of the sporting fraternity welcome the advent of tlie’ baseball season, if for no other reason than it's a sure harbinger of spring. Naturally, the most interest will center around the New York Yankees and^the Brooklyn Dodgers, who have played the subway series so often in October, that it’s becoming a habit, With the Grapefruit League play finished for another year, the wise^-boys who watched the clubs go through the early-seaeon motions, were much more impressed by the Dodgers than they were with the Yankees. The Brooks still look like the team to beat m the National League, while the Yankees' age is starting to catch up ,on them, and two or three other clubs in the American League are given a better than outside chance to end the reign of the perennials. HpwCver, the Boston Red Sox, who have the best chance to upend the Stengelmen, have'the disadvantage of inexperience to contend with; the Cleveland Indians, while always a contending team, have the same porous infield which Will keep them from reaching the top; and the Chicago White Sox have two good, front-line pitchers, but back of that it's a question mark. The Yankees might just repeat, and if they do, the National League will have to get an assist, Over the week-end, the Yanks latched onto Enos Slaughter, of the St, Louis Cards as outfield insurance, and as has happened In the past with Ewell Blackwell, Johnny Mize and Johnny Sain, the New Yorkers did pretty well with the oldsters from the senior circuit. * * * ^PORTRAITS A sign of spring locally fact that the WOAA Major Fastball boys met in Wingham last night . . . the - WINGHAM CARMICHAEL ROCKETS, the pee wee entry are all set to defend the “B” title they won last year at the, Goderich Lion’s YOUNG CANADA WEEK, April 19th to 24th . . . these kids are our last remaining hope for hockey glory . . , no ball activity in Wingham so far, except the mention of a Battery team . . . the minor teams will likely be formed again , . . the club that won the OASA Midget title last fall, will step up to juvenile softball this season . . . the reason—whip-arm KEITH LANCASTER will be too old for the other variety . . . the OASA starts a tw(o-day annual meeting in NORTH-BAY tomorrow . . , I hope g $ &• is- the $ •»? .u Commissioners, &.
