JIM KONSTANTY ED LOPAT Defeated delighted Wynn, Lemon Look Rugged BY JACK HAND Early Wynn and Bob Lemon sounded warning today that Cleveland will be a tough out to crack in the American league. Wynn's four-hitter in a 10-inning battle at Detroit yesterday following Lemon's hardy two-hit win opening day, emphasize the class of the Indians' pitching staff. And Bobby Feller hasn't worked yet. The Big Four of Lemon, Wynn, Feller and Mike Garcia frank with the best. All freshman Manager Al Lopez needs is a solid left-hander. Wynn and Jim Hegan, his catcher teamed up on the Tigers in yesterday's 4-2 victory. Hegan took care of the hitting with a homer and three singles while Wynn charmed Detroit. After Hegan's homer tied the score in the ninth, the Tribe knocked out Dizzy Trout in the 10th. Ray Boone singled home Larry Doby with the winning run and Bob Kennedy scored the extra run on Pal Mullin's error. Red Rolfe became so excited about a call by Umpire Charlie Berry that he was put out of the game for the second time in his three years as manager. Pitching was also the big story with the defending champion New York Yankees. Eddie Lopat tainted the red-faced Boston Red Sox with 8½ no-hit innings and beat them, 6-1, allowing only two singles. Following Vic Raschi's opening day shutout, this deflated Boston stock several points. Harry Taylor, the $75,000 buy The Big Four of Lemon, Wynn, Feller and Mike Garci rank with the best.

Following Vic Raschi's opening day shutout, this deflated Boston stock several points. Harry Taylor, the $75,000 buy from the Brooklyn farm chain, crumbled in a four-run fifth inning. He did all right earlier but the Red Sox hitters let him down flat, just as they did Will Wight Tuesday. Boston has only one run to show for two Yankee games. It looked like Lopat was on his way to a no-hitter until Ted Williams broke the spell by singing with one out in the seventh. Bobby Doerr's single scoring Ted was the only other hit. Mickey Mantle, the 19-year-old rookie phenom, came through with a two-run single off Taylor in the fifth, his only hit. Doatz kept that rally alive with a single and hit a two-run homer off reliever Ellis Kinder in the eighth. The Washington Senators kept step with the Yanks and Indians by making it two in a row over Philadelphia. 6-4 in a night game Trailing 4-3 going into the ninth, the Senators unloaded on Lou Brissie, who walked two and gave up a two-run triple to Irv Noren and a double to Mickey Vernon before he was replaced by Hank Wysa. Bob Kuzava was the winner. Only 2055 watched. In fact the entire major league program of five games drew a total of only 29,661, with 15,145 of them at the Yankee Stadium. Jim Konstanty, key to the Phillies repeat pennant hopes, failed his first test at Brooklyn. Making his first relief appearance of 1951 with one on and nobody out in the ninth, Konstanty let the game wriggle away on Duke Snider's tying triple and Jackie Robinson's winning single, 4-3. With the score tied at 2-2 in the ninth, Willie Jones' second homer of the day had given the Phils the edge over Preacher Roe. Jones' two homers and one by Dick Sisler provided all the Phil runs.

AP Says Chandler To Quit in Week NEW YORK (UP) — Happy Chandler, lame duck baseball commissioner, may resign within a week, the Associated Press has learned. Oakland, the 1950 champions, pulled into third place in the standings with a twin killing over Los Angeles last night. 6-4 and 6-2, and Joe Gordon's Sacramento Solons took over fifth place from the idle Hollywood-Stars by downing Seattle again, 5 to 4.

Bill Ayers got credit for his fifth win against two defeats in this game, but he required help from Jay Ragnil in the seventh and final inning.

The blocking of 1.09 4/5 for the six furlongs Trojans Favored To Rattle Past Illinois, Michigan LOS ANGELES (UP) — Southern California, a perennial champion in the realm of track and field, figures to add the Big Ten to its list of victims Saturday at Memorial Coliseum. The three-way affair involving SC, Illinois and Michigan should be interesting as a preview to the late season potentialities of at least four performers and from the standpoint of intersectional rivalry. The Trojans, defending National Collegiate champions and winners of 10 straight Pacific Coast conference titles, are favored to win by as fat a margin as that by which the Midwest beats the Pacific Coast in football. Thus the score will be largely incidental to the performances of a Michigan Canadian named Don McEwen, whose coach expects him to run a nine-minute two mile on the fast Coliseum track; of Illinois' Don Laz, one of only three athletes ever to pole vault 15 feet, and of colorful Cirilo McSween, Big Ten indoor champ in the 440-yard dash. The stiffest competition probably will come in the hurdles. Michigan's Don Hoover, a double winner in the Big Ten indoor championships, will be facing the best on the coast in Art Barnard and Jack Davis of SC. Barnard already has a clocking of 14.1 in the 120 yard highs. That's the best mark in the country this season.

He wraps on Tuesday, the Kirchman's 52.0 gives proximate 10-yard edge son's qualifying 53.1. Anaheim qualified men in Tuesday's pre match but they look tough both the Bee events, plus both the 1320 and red which were not contested prelimits. The Ceees are only three.

Twice rebuffed by the club owners who failed to renew his contract in December and March, Chandler is said to be preparing to run for governor in Kentucky. He was to have been in New York Tuesday to hand out World series rings and watches to the New York Yankees. Instead he spent the day in Washington, visiting members of the U.S. Senate. He then left for his home in Veronailles, Ky. Before he was named commissioner Chandler was a senator and governor of Kentucky. In Comeback Try SAN MATEO, Calif. (UP)—Stout-hearted Citation yesterday at Bay Meadows started his comeback and quest for a million dollars in earnings—and ran third for the first time in his remarkable career.

Pancho Supreme ran second in a photo finish. Big Cy was making his first start since last June 24 when he finished second to Irish bred Noor. Steve Brooks had the six-year-old son of Bull Leo off fourth in a field of six. At the quarter he was running fifth, then moved up to fourth at the half. He began moving up on the pace-setting A Lark turning into the stretch and those in the crowd of 9080 who had bet him down to a 3 to 5 favorite thought they had a winner. Citation couldn't get to the winners, however, and wasn't punished in the late stretch run. Jockey Brooks never touched his mount with the whip and only shook him up mildly to bring him in a length behind the winner. The third place finish netted Big Cy $430 and boosted his lifetime winnings to $939,060. He's the champion in this respect. The pride of Calumet farm had won 29 races and had run second nine times before yesterday's third spot wind-up.

That's the duel that the Sunset Kirchman-Wilson Duel Top Attraction In Sunset League Track-Field Finals Larry Kirchman vs Clyde Wilson! That's the duel that the Sunset League has been waiting to see all year long and it's finally going to come off tomorrow when the two tangle in the Sunset League track and field finals at Newport. Anaheimers are sure that Kirchman will be able to upset Wilson, who is the defending CIF champion in this event. Orange boosters are just as certain that Wilson will flash the form that he showed last year to belt Kirchman. Between the two factions, however, there is unanimity that Wilson's 51.2 Sunset League record, which he established last year, will go. The rain may have been just the thing to assure the record. Certainly, it would have been almost impossible for either of the two to break it if they had had to go again tomorrow with the track in the same powdery condition as it was on Tuesday. Kirchman substantially whipped Wilson in the only actual clash between the two, a triangular Anaheim-Orange-Santa Ana meet. Orange, however, was adamant in its claim that Wilson was running "under wraps." He wasn't under wraps on Tuesday, though, and Kirchman's 52.0 gives him an approximate 10-yard edge over Wilson's qualifying 53.1. Anaheim qualified only three men in Tuesday's preliminaries, but they look tough with 12 in the Bee events, plus favorites in both the 1320 and relay, events which were not contested in the prelims. The Cees also placed only three.
