In the second, Andy Fisher led off the inning with a wrong field double.

St. Louis Tradtes Franeona to Phils PHI-ADELPHIA ()-The Phil- adelphia Phillies, without a regu- lar first baseman since Bill White injured his foot during the winter, announced yesterday that they have purchased first baseman Tito Francona from the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Phillies said that to make room for Francona, pitcher Bill Wilson was being sent outright to their San Diego farm team in the Pacific Coast League. .

Reds Wreck Dodgers, 6.1 CINCINNATI OP)--Vada Pinson and Deron Johnson cracked first inning home runs and Dick Simp- son followed with a pinch homer in the seventh to give the Cincin- nati Reds a 6-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Na- tional League opener yesterday. Big Jim Maloney held the Dodg- ers to five hits over the first seven innings to earn the vic- tory before a packed crowd of 28,- 422 in the traditional opener at Crosley Field. After Maloney left for a pinch hitter, Ted Abernathy worked the last two innings. Pinson and Johnson quickly jumped on Dodger starter Bob Miller for homers to give the Reds all they needed. Both blows end- ed up in the rightfield bleachers. Miller Bombed Twice Pinson picked on a 2-1 pitch, and one out later, Johnson blasted another Miller pitch into the stands. Miller moved from the bullpen to take 'over the retired Sandy Koufax's spot in the start- ing rotation, gave 'up five home runs in all of 1966. Miller was taken out in the fifth inning for a pinch hitter, and his reliever, Ron Perranoski, gave up the homer to Simpson In the seVenth. The Reds got to Miller for two more hits and another run in the second inning, with Maloney aid- ing his own cause. Catcher John Edwards singled. went to third on a single by Maloney and scord on Tommy Harper's fly ball to center. Cincinnati picked up its final two runs off Phil Regan in the eighth on a walk to Pete Rose, a single by Johnson, a sacrifice fly by Tony Perez and a double by Leo Cardenas. The Yankees, who finished in the cellar last season, teed off early on Washington's starting pitcher, Pete Richert, who was 14-14 during 1966. Tom Tresh doubled down the thrid base line in the third and rookie Bill Robinson, acquired from Atlanta in a trade for Clete Boyer during the off-season, hit the first homer of the season some 380 feet into the left-center field Yankee bullpen. Mickey Mantle, making his de- but as a first baseman, singled to left, and Joe Pepitone, who ex- changed places with Mantle in center, tripled to left field, scor- ing Mantle. Mantle, however, aggravated a leg muscle he injured March 22 and was taken out of the game. Elston Howard scored Pepitone on a single to right, and Charlie Smith beat out a hit to third baseman McMullen. Kennedy Doubles After Horace Clarke flied to center, Joh'h Kennedy, acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers, doubled down the right field line, scoring Howard and Smith. Stottlemyre singled off relief pitcher Darold Knowles to score Kenrnedy. In the seventh inning, Howard hit 'hia ftst home run. President Johnson, who had not announced his plans, came to the ballpark and threw out three opening day pitches rather than the usual one. was then wiped out in a double play as the next batter, Gary Bow- ens, hit back to the pitcher. The lone Eastern run came as the re- sult of a walk and an error in the seventh. Zahn pitched the first six in- nings and showed the style that must rate him as the top pitcher on the Wolverine squad this sea- son. Coach Moby Benedict re- marked afterwards that "Zahn pitched his best game of the spring. His fast ball was moving' at times and so was his curve ball. He was mixing up his pitches real good." Zahn Whiffs 10 Zahn's combinations were fool- ing the Huron batters all after- noon as ten Eastern players went down on strikes in the six frames the left-hander worked. Zahn only walked one in his six-inning stretch. Benedict said after the game that even though Zahn was work- ing on a one-hitter at the time, he had only planned to use him six innings. The Michigan coach is preparing Zahn for the Big Ten season which opens Friday with a doubleheader against Indiana in Bloomington. Sophomore Hurley came in to pitch the final three frames and continued the Wolverines' strike- out mastery as he fanned five Eastern batters to brings Mich- igan's total to 15 for the day. The two Huron pitchers were only able to whiff five Michigan batters. Hurley did have control trouble though, giving up three walks. In the eighth, he walked the lead- off batter, third baseman Lonnie Head, who then moved around to third when second baseman Rick Sygar missed the toss for the force out at second on a grounder hit by catcher Pete Casteel. Hurley, shaken by the muffed double play, then wild pitched Head home for Eastern's only run. The sophomore pitcher walked two in the ninth but was able to get out of the inning and the game without any trouble. Michigan struck in the first in- ning against Huron starter Dale Robinson. Lead-off man Glenn Redmon took advantage of Robin- son's wildness as he worked the freshman for a walk. Sygar then forced Redmon at second. Left fielder Les Tanona was the third batter in the inning and SPORTS NIGHT EDITOR: JOEL BLOCK GLENN REDMON YOU Got Books We Got CASH VOICE-SDS MEETING TONITE Rm. 3G, Union, 8:00 P.M.
