Monday, April 14, with the traditional opening game at Washington. A high ranking Washington official, usually the President or Vice - President of the United States, will officially open the season by throwing i'�tion. The remarst ining Amerall. The ican League oston Red teams twill open te he fol- lowing e o - lowing day when Detroit, Kansas City, New York and Washington will play in Chicago, Cleveland, Boston, and Baltimore respectively. Meanwhile the National League will also open on Tuesday with Los Angeles at San Francisco, Chicago at St. Louis, Philadelphia at Cincinnati, and Pittsburg at Wilwaukee. The Los Angeles -San Fran- cisco game will cause the most concern since it will be the first crack at Major League competition for both cities. It looks like a repeat performance of last year's World Series with. the Yankees and the Braves slated to again compete for the onours. However the White Sox, Tigers and Red Sox are givenan outside chance of wresting the pennant laurels from the Yanks, while the Cardinals, and Dodgers are hopeful of upsetting the Braves, who were last year's champs. By the way, the Milwaukee -Detroit exhibition game this Sunday will be televised at 2.30 p.m., over Channel 2, Detroit. FRE WEBS LOSE TO AILSA :CRAIG Although outplaying Ailsa Craig for the majority of the game, the local Pee Wees were defeated by the team from the south 3-1. Poor shooting and great goaltending spelled the end of their hopes for a "D" championship, Roy McAdams scored the lone Zurich counter. However, the majority of the boys will still be able to compete next year and perhaps the hope of a championship will be realized then. Maybe by then the people of Zurich and the surrounding area will have seen fit to add an artificial ice plant to our local arena. The operating costs couldn't be much more than the losses due to the short natural ice season and arena depreciation that are now being experienced. The differences in skating between the ,teams who are able to practice regularly on artificial ice and those who have only the unpredictable natural ice to play on are definitely evident. In addition, the arena certainly was not built to be a paying proposition, but in the hopes of keeping children off the streets by giving -them recreation and thus preventing juvenile delinquency. STANLEY iOUP FINALISTS AGAIN The Boston Bruins and the Montreal Canadiens will meet this week to determine the Stanley Cup winner in what could easily be a repeat performance of last year's final. After leading the league for the majority of the season, the powerful Canadiens are certainly slated to capture all the honours. Since both teams boast fabulous power -plays, neither team will want to have too many penalties, as they may prove costly. The Bruins will be watching such Hab stars as the Richards, Beliveau, Geoilfrion, Moore and Harvey, while the Habs in turn will have their eyes on MacKell, McKenny, Toppazzini, Mohns, and Horvath. Thus it certainly should prove to be an ex- citing series. Remember "Rocket" Richard's explosive four -goal performance last year? * * * * SPORTS POST SCRIPTS ' Most Penalized Players-- For layers—For ten seasons two NIHL players led the league in penalties. From 1932-33 to 1939-40, Red Horner, of Toronto led, and from 1940=41 to 1942-43 Jimmy Orlando of Detroit had the dubious honour of being the leader. Louie Has A Record Lou Fontinato, of the Rangers, holds the all-time record for pen- alties by a player in one season. In 1955-56 Leapin' Louie spent a total of 202 minutes in the coop, thus breaking Red Horner's 1935-36 record of 167. N.L. and A.L. Trading in Baseball Birdie Tebbett's proposal to permit trading between American and National League baseball clubs has received a landslide approval • by 12 of the 14 club leaders. Only emphatic "no" was issued by Los Angeles Dodger's manager, Walt Alston. The Cincinnati manager believes that inter -league trading would boost fan interest in players of the rival loops, in addition to giving these same fans a possible chance of seeing some of the big stars of the other league.
