Newcomers Jerry Kenney and Bobby Murcer slammed consecu- tive home runs as New York raced to an early 8-0 lead. Murcer added a two-run single to cap the Yank- ees' scoring in the fourth inning when they scored four unearned runs. Nixon chatted and joked with Williams in the Presidential box before throwing out the first ball --a soft lob-to begin baseball's 100th year. Mel Stottlemyre, the Yankee's 21-game winner last year, took over from Nixon, allowing 14 hits but keeping the Senators shackled until the game was out of reach. Frank Howard walloped a two-run homer for Washington in the ninth. Williams emerged from the dug- out just once for an angry but futile argument with umpires over a dropsped pop fly in the midst of the Yankees' fourth-inning out- burst. Two errors, a -dropped throw at the plate and a wild pitch fig- ured in the comedy of miscues as the Yankees pushed across their four runs on only two siigles. Three stolen bases-two of them by Roy White-led to the Yankees' first two runs on only two singles in the second inning. Kenney, the rookie who took the retired Mickey Mantle's place in the lineup, cracked a bases- empty homer off losing pitcher Camilo Pascual in the third. Murcer followed with a line-hug- ging shot just inside the right field foul pole. A record opening day crowd of 45,113 watched the game in newly renamed Robert F. Kennedy Sta- dium. CINCINNATI ' Ron Fairly's two-run triple in the third inning helped the Las Angeles' Dodgers spoil the opening of Cincinnati's 101st baseball season yesterday with a 3-2 triumph over the Reds. Fairly's triple down the right field line overcame successive first- inning homers by Pete Rose and Bob Tolan and a 12-strikeout per- formance by Gary Nolan. Although Don Drysdale left in the seventh, giving way to Bill Singer when his arm tightened, he was the winning pitcher. Rose and Tolan excited a full house of 30,111 fans who turned out in 70-degree temperature for the historic occasion. Nolan bowed out to Wayne Granger in the eighth when the Dodgers threatened again with men on first and third and none out. Jim Merrit pitched the ninth. The Reds' start could have been enough to shellshock Drysdale and -Associated Press CINCINNATI'S PETE ROSE executes a perfect shoestring tackle in thewrong sport yesterday, as he upsets Los Angeles shortstop Ted Sizemore in the eighth inning. Rose was forced at second as Sizemore got tle ball away toward first base. Rose plowed into the hapless shortstop to stop the double play. His heroics proved fruitless, however, as the Dodgers posted a 3-2 victory. Tigers hope to reverse spring flop DETROIT (A)- Denny McLain; sore shoulder and all, was sched- uled to start the season for the Detroit Tigers today against the Cleveland Indians a 1 t h o u g h whether he will stride up to the mound was still in doubt as game time neared. The ,31-game winner last sea- son came back to Detroit with an ailing shoulder Friday. Per- sitent pain and soreness in his right shoulder required a corti- sone shot and he returned to 'the doctors at Ford Hospital Monday., McLain worked out with thex team after his trip to the doctor. If he is unable to start for the Tigers, the team which wound up with a 9-17 record in exhibition games, they plan other moves. However, backup man Mickey Lolich said he felt "just about right." In 23 exhibition innings, Lolich achieved a 2.35 earned run average-easily the best perform- ance on the team. The World Champion Tigers, will need a strong performance today before a possible capacityJ audience of 54,220. Other spring training signs on the team were not too bright. Al Kaline, starting his 17th major league season, was the only Tiger to bat over .300. The right fielder ran his spring average to .327. And shortstop Mickey Stanley is favoring a sore arm.; The Indians may be tough in the opener. Cleveland starter LuisTiant posted a 1.6 ERA last season for the American League's best mark since the legendary Walter Johnson in 1919. Manager Alvin Dark made some changes in the lineup, and is leading one of the better rated teams. And he is not overwhelmed with facing the World Series winners. "Baltimore, Boston and Detroit are all so good I can't favor just one," he said. "Of the three I like Detroit least.".

After the two-game-starting home runs, Drysdale allowed only two more hits until he was relieved by Singer. Rose's homer hit the left field screen and Tolan's went deep into the right field bleachers.

ATLANTA - The Atlanta Brav- es rallied for two runs in the ninth inning to nip the San Fran- cisco Giants, 5-4, spoiling Clyde King's debut as Giant manager. Clete Boyer's single, Sonny Jackson's triple, and a single by Mike Lum gave the Braves their first opening day victory since their arrival in Atlanta. T h e ninth inning surge wiped out a three-run San Francisco rally in the seventh and gave George Stone the victory over the Giants' ace reliever, Frank Linzy. Dick Dietz' homer off Atlanta's Pat Jarvis staked 28-game win- ner Juan Marichal to a 1-0 lead in the second. But the Braves tied it in their half as Tito Francona singled and eventually scored when Jackson hit into a force play with the bases loaded. They went ahead 3-1 in the third on a walk to Aaron and singles by Orlando Cepeda, Fran- Faona and Boyer. The Giants struck for their guns in the seventh on B o b b y Eth'eridge's double, Hal Lanier's single and an error by catched Bob Tillman, single -by p i n c h hitter Bob Burda and Willie Mays and Willie McCovey's sacrifice fly after a walk to Bobby Bonds load- ed the bases.
