Tuesday, April 7 1970 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven Tuesday, April 7, 1970 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven Tigers, Reds open season with victories Lolich shuts out Senators, 5-0 Three homers power Reds' win WASHINGTON (W) - Willie' Horton and Cesar Gutierrez each rove in two runs as the Detroit Tigers whipped the Washington' Senators 5-0 behind Mickey Lo- lich's seven-hit pitching yesterday in the Americafn League's tradi- tional baseball opener. Lolich, a 19-game winner last ,year 'but overshadowed by t h e flamboyant McLain, struck out 10' and worked his way out of bases- loaded jams twice in the rain- delayed, four-hour marathon t in near-freezing weather. Nixon made a surprise late arri- val in the fifth inning and stayed to the end despite the damp, cold day that caused the early de-, parture of nearly three-fourths of the, 45,015 opening day crowd. Willie Horton drilled a bases- loaded double down the left line to thrust the Tigers into a 2-0 lead in tie first inning and De- 4troit shoved across three more runs off Washington's beleagured relief pitching while Nixon watch- ed in the late innings. David Eisenhower, the young- est White House substitute in history, threw out the first b a 11 in the traditional opening cere- ",, monies after a cold, drizzling rain had delayed the start of the game'. for 55 minutes. Nixon missed 'the customary Presidential pitch because of a crucial Senate vote on his Su- preme Court nomination of Judge G. Harrold Carswell. He came 1%/ hours later after a victory in the test vote. . Rookie Cesar Gutierrez backedi up Lolich by driving in t w o runs and scoring two others. The two teams just missed a major league record for frustra- tion by leaving 29 runners on base.! The all-time high is 30. The Senators loaded the bases in the sixth with one out, but Lo- lich stopped the threat by throw- ing out one runner at the plate and getting the next hitter to -pop up. A double play erased a sim- ilar uprising the next inning. The Tigers filled the bases on two walks and a single off loser Dick Bosman in the first inning before Horton rifled his double into the left field corner. Singles by Gutierrez, Al Kaline and Norm Cash added another run in the sixth. Gutierrez followed with a two- run single in the seventh after the Tigers had loaded the bases daily sports NIGHT EDITOR: MORT NOVECK again on an error, a hit and a hit batsman. The Senators stranded 12 run- ners against Lolich, who walled five. Tigers left 17. mainly in the early innings as Bosman, bother- ed by wildness, had to pitch out of three other bases-loaded jams after Horton's hit.w The loss was the eighth straight for the Senators in a Presidential opener. It was the third time in the last four years that they have been shut out in the traditional game. An exotic dancer in a micro- skirt stopped the game in the first inning by coming out of the stands to kiss Senator's slugger Frank Howard.

An opening day crowd of 30.124 sat in damp, cold Crosley Field as Merritt, who had a 17-9 'record last year when he was the Reds' top winner, mastered the Expos while his teammates supported him with an eight-hit attack that included three home runs. All three homers came in the fourth inning as Lee May, Bobby Tolan and Bernie Carbo connected off Montreal starter Joe Sparma. May's came with Johnny' Bench. who had doubled, on base. Carbo's was the first of his major league career." Merritt, meanwhile, had allowed the Expos only one base runner, isuing a walk to Bob Bailey in the second inning. But Bailey was thrown - out attempting to steal and as Merritt went into the sev- enth he had faced the minimum number of batters. Gary Sutherland fouled out for the first 'out, then Rusty Staub broke up Merritt's no-hit bid by slamming a triple to right center field. Staub immediately scored when Ron Fairly looped a single to center. The only other hit off Merritt was a ninth inning bloop single to center by Sutherland. The Reds picked up their final run in the fifth inning on Pete Rose's tripel and a sacrifice fly. The Reds had a couple of mild threats before their fourth inning outburst. Rose had a double in the first with two out but died on base. He and Tolan also were left stranded in the third after a sin- gle, a force out and a walk. The Reds' uprising in the fourth was a combination of hitting power, with a bit of help from the wind. Bench's double was a solid blast and the homer by May boomed over the scoreboard, across the street and through a runway, going under an expressway. Carbo's homer was helped by wind. Tolan's blast got some wind help but it didn't need it.

S MAGAZINE .-Fri. 0 on this and that Bubble gum ,and baseball cards Teric siegel THE DAYS when the whole National League west of Phil- adelphia could be had for a Mickey Mantle and a Yogi Berra, and a Willie Mays was worth your choice of any twelve cards in a packet as thick as two decks of playing cards are gone forever but, I am happy to report, Topps bubble gum base- ball cards still exist. Of course, they've changed a little since I saw them last about ten years ago, the most notable change being that the piece of bubble gum is only about three-quarters its size during the Yankee years of the early Fifties. There are also ten cards for a dime now, instead of six for a nickel. And every package comes with a paper fold-out of a major league star, probably to compensate the consumer for the smaller tiece of bubble gum. These changes though, haven't diminished the semi- fanatical zeal of the 12 nd under set who collect the rec- tangular pieces of cardboard. A lot of fads have come and gone over the years, but baseball cards have somehow main- tained their traditional appeal.' It's easy to see why, too. A hoola hoop, for example, just doesn't have the same sense of adventure that collecting baseball cards does. Twirling a hoola hoop around your thighs just isn't the same as flipping Cleon Jones and Pete Rose. The former might be tintillating; the latter is more in the heart-stopping category. Then, too, baseball cards have always been a good deal more enlightening than the other fads. Where else can you learn that Paul Casanova hit .274 with Buffalo of the Inter- national League in 1968 with 23 hits in 84 at bats, or that Blue Moon Odom was a four sport star in high school in Georgia, and get a shrunken stick of bubble gum to boot. If you're lucky enough to buy a pack with Earl Wilson in it, you'll find out that Earl's 33 career homers are just four short of the all-time mark for pitchers. The Paul Cassanova card (No. 84 on your Topps first series check list) reveals that in '66 and '67, the Washington backstop led the league in doubleplays for a catcher. That reptesents quite a step up in the world, seeing as how in 1961, Cassanova was catching for the Indiana- polis Clowns. But collecting baseball cards wasn't all fun and games. There was always the inevitable frustration in having seven of the eight regulars in the Dodgers starting line-up, and then buying about thirty seven packs of cards trying to get the eighth, and winding up with ten face cards of Humberto Robinson. It usually turned out that the only guy in the neighborhood who had the missing card was the guy you didn't pick in the stickball game the night before. The kids who collected the cards didn't really mind the frustration, though. It was all part of the game. In fact, no-one really finds anything about baseball cards too objectionable. To my knowledge, the radicals have yet to attack Topps as a cap- italist enterprise, and the reactionaries have yet to attack base- bal cards as corrupting the morals of America's youth by en- couraging them to engage in flipping and matching. I suppose that some day some sociologist is going to come along and tell us that the continued appeal and pop- ularity of baseball cards is related to some sort of under- lying fantasy. But collectors of baseball cards, past and present, know better. They know there's nothing fantastic about trading the American League West for Cleon Jones and Tom Seaver. -Associated Press JULIE EISENHOWER looks on in amazement and awe as former vice-president (and unsuccessful candidate for governor of Cali- fornia) Nixon's son-in-law, David Nixon Eisenhower, throws out the first ball of the 1970 baseball season. Showing their good taste, the fans greeted Davey with a rousing chorus of boos which was repeated when his semi-famous father-in-law arrived.

The sudden departure of Shula, who posted a fine 71-23-4 record for seven seasons, caught t h e Colts by surprise and McCafferty was immediately cast as the like- ly replacement from Shula's staff.
