dians exploded for five runs, four
of them on a bases-loaded homer
run by rookie Roger Maris, in thel
11th inning for an 8-3 victory that
spoiled the Detroit Tigers' homec
opener yesterday before 31,227 fansI
who sat through more than threeF
hours of fog and gloom.
The home run by Maris, his first1
in the major leagues, put the
finishing touchesasn the contest
settled earlier in the inning when
. Bob Avila brought home George
Strickland with a sacrifice fly.
SRighthander Ray Narleski hurl-
ed the last three innings and re-

-' picking up the Indians' first vic-
tory of the young season.

Bob Grim set ved a home run ball
in the ninth inning yesterday,
then bore down to preserve a 3-2l
victory over Boston fashioned on
a late rally.
Gil McDougald's fly ball triple
which tightfielder Gene Stephens
apparently lost in the sun and El-

Yanks in front, 3=1, in the top of
the ninth.
Dodgers 6, Pirates 1
BROOKLYN - The incredible
Sal Maglie, picking up where hej
left off last year, yesterday hurled
a brilliant four-hitter as the de-
fending champion Brooklyn Dodg-
ers celebrated their 45th home
opening with a 6-1 victory over the
Pittsburgh Pirates.
A chilled gathering of 11,202 saw
the veteran righthander, who will
be 40 years old a week from today,
pitch in mid-season form as he
struck out five, walked three and
did not permit an earned run.

MILWAUKEE -- Lew Burdette,
of the Milwaukee Braves, yester-
day licked the Cincinnati Redlegs,
1-0, with the help of a home run
by Hank Aaron before a crowd of
41,506.
Aaron's towering blast over the
centerefield fence in the sixth in-
ning turned out to be all the run-
support the crafty righthander
needed to register his eighth con-
secutive decision over the Redlegs
in the last three seasons.

Kansas City Athletics before 10,-

Special to The Daily
DETROIT -- Bands, dignitaries,
presentations and a large partisan
crowd apparently weren't enough
to spark the Detroit Tigers to a
victory as they lost their home
opener in 11 innings to Cleveland,
8-3, yesterday.
Rookie Bengal Manager Jack
Tighe has yet to see his team on
the long end of a final score after
three games.
Before the game, Bill Finzel's
band played everything f r o m
"Dixie" to "The - Star Spangled
Banner," but apparently fired up
the visitors instead of Detroit.
Pre-Game Battery
Michigan's Governor G. Mennen
Williams and Detroit Council Pres-
ident Louis C. Miriani formed a
pre-game battery in the hope of
showing pitcher Billy Hoeft and
catcher Frank House how to do it,
but this didn't seem to help.
(Hoeft left in the second inning
and House in the seventh.)
The firemen of the Motor City
presented Tighe with a horseshoe-
shaped wreath which they hoped
would spark the team to a win.
However, the squad was without
the aid of a steady fireman able
to stop the determined Indians in
the closing frame.
The thousands of Detroit fans
in attendance also wanted a vic-
tory in the worst way and showed
it by their generous applause and
constant urgings through yells
and clapping.
Yesterday's game found the
Tigers outhitting the winning
team, yet losing. This is one trick
which the Bengals seem to hold
exclusive rights to.
While Tighe was losing his third
game, Cleveland's rookie manager,
Kerby Farrell, aided by the hitting
of rookie Roger Maris, enjoyed his
first major league victory.
Maris, who was mediocre in the
field and had struck out in three
previous appearances at the plate,
poled out a grand slam home run
in the 11th inning to ice the win.
Cleveland's Bobby Avila, who
moved over to third base this year,
was spectacular on defense. In
fact, he made a sensational game-
saving play for the Tribe.
In the third inning, after Tiger
catcher Frank House doubled and
went to third on an infield hit,
second baseman Frank Bolling
lined a low drive over third. .
Avila leaped over towards the
bag and slapped the ball down,
got up, and fired it to catcher Jim.
Hegan, who put the tag on House.

NEW YORK -- Hank Sauer's
250th major league homer and a
three-run home run by Gail Har-
ris helped the New York Giants
win their Polo Grounds opener
over Philadelphia yesterday, 6-2,
behind eight-hit pitching by Ru-
ben Gomez.

Senators 6, Orioles 4
WASHINGTON-Excellent relief
pitching by Pete Ramos, coupled
with the wildness of Baltimore's'
hurler Ray Moore, enabled Wash-
ington to defeat the Orioles, 6-4
last night.

Cubs 10, Cardinals 2
ST. LOUIS --Moe Drabowsky,
21-yr.-old bonus righthander with
exceptional poise, bested 40-yr.-old
Murry Dickson and four pitching
replacements last night as the
Chicago Cubs, using 15 hits and
four St. Louis errors, spoiled the
Cardinals' home opener, 10-2.
Stan Musial of the Cards played
in his 776th consecutive game de-
spite a bad muscle injury.
I- Initiates
League Wit
By FRANK MABLEY
Intramural baseball took a new
turn yesterday on the rain-soaked,
grounds of South Ferry Field as
class "B" softball was inaugurated.
These first "B" clashes-in resi-
dence hall competition-- proved to
be one-sided battles. Van Tyne
outclassed Winchell, 15-3, and
Greene defeated Chicago, 17-6.
Reeves had a little tougher time
in downing Anderson, 7-4.-
Huber, Gomberg, Strauss and
Williams all gained forfeit wins.
"B" softball differs mainly from
the traditional I-M game in that
a different size ball and a greater.
number of players are used. The
"B" ball has a circumference of
16 inches, while the "A" teams use
a 12" sphere.
Instead of the usual nine play-
ers, "B" softball has added a tenth
man. This additional man is usu-
ally stationed in a deep shortstop
position with the' shortstop closer
to second base.
Another requirement is that the
Sixteen-Inch Softball
h Full Slate of Games
pitcher must pitch the ball in a
prescribed fashion It must loop a
definite path upward and down
again as it crosses the plate.
"B" softball was started to give
more men a chance to participate
in I-M play. Dorms and fraterni-
ties may compete in both "A" and
"B" classes, but players are eligible
for only one.

'A' Softball Games
In "A" professional fraternity
softball yesterday Delta Sigma Pi
squeaked out a 4-3 extra-inning
victory over Alpha Kappa Psi. The
game was a tight pitchers' match
with winning hurler Chuck Sirola
and his opponent Bart Forsyth al-
lowing only eight hits together.
The contest is being protested,
however, by Alpha Kappa Psi be-
cause of a fielding interference
play in the last of the fifth inning.
With seven men and as many
hits Phi Epsilon Kappa edged Phi
Rho Sigma, 5-3. Sheldon Cham-
bers and Don Piersma aided in the
victory with home runs.
In another professional frater-
nity game, Phi Alpha Kappa out-
scored Phi Delta Chi, 16-4.
