Employing an entirely new stance at the plate, with his left foot swung back almost out of the batter's box, the big Bam- bino opened his 1929 campaign with ‘a home run in his first attempt yes- terday, and so started the Yankees toward a 7 to 3 triumph over the Red Sox in the first game at the Yankee stadium. Is Pitchers’ Puzzle Ruth in his new stance presents an entirely different puzzle to pitchers who already had decided that his only weakness was a base on balls. With the Babe standing back and firing at the left side, fielders also may have their troubles playing for. the big slugger. Bill Carrigan’s system of “playing him straight” may be the best, after all. A ‘The Yankee opening was Ruth's very own. With his bride of 8 day stationed in a box near the New York bench, the Babe started the season tight with his left field homer, and after that everything he did was tight. Lou Gehrig hit his homer in the sixth, but the fans remained the Babe's. ‘The cold weather kept the opening day crowd down to 35,000 hardy cli- ents, but good half of these mobbed the home run king in a friendly but fashion at the close. He was rather done up from none too gentle slaps on the back as he gained the sanctuary of the Yankee dugout. Yank Debut Typical All the usual frills, and a few more, marked the Yankee debut. Judge Landis presented the Hugmen with wrist watches, emblematic of the world’s championship. Col. Jacob Ruppert and E. S. Barnard, president of the league. led members of both teams to the flagpole, where the usual three banners he coma: and a 11 game was played. duces Pipgras carried his wildness into the championship season, and Miller Huggins yelled “enough” with one out in the sixth, the bases full of Red Sox, the Yanks only one run ahead, and two balls called on the batter. The curve ball star had given only three hits, but had decorated them with nine bases on balls. Fred Heimach halted the disturbance, Geh- rig hit his homes, and the Yankees went on to win. Charlie Ruffing and Milton Gaston worked for the Red Sox. Charlie was good for the Babe's homes, and Milt for Lou's. The Athletics made it two straight over the ‘Senators at W! winning by 8 to 2. Rube Walberg, out for his first canter, never was in danger after the Mackmen got him ‘six runs in the fifth. ‘The Browns won their third straight from the White Sox by 4 to 1, and the Cleveland Indians made it two out of three from Detroit with an 8 to 4 * Giants Are Unkempt display in defeating the Phillies by 11 to 9, and the less said about Bos- ton’s 13 to 12 victory over Brooklyn, the more charitable it will be for all * concerned—including the 5,000 ven- ‘turesome Bostonese who paid to see it. ‘As the giants, with Larry Benton the box, sagged before a Philly in the ninth, distant rumbles from the Chicago front, where 17, in 10 innings.

Pladner lost on a foul in the sev- enth round of his 15-round match with Frankie Genaro of New York here yesterday in what he himself termed his final appearance as a fly- weight. The Frenchman in a. pre- vious bout had knock.d out Genaro, National Boxing association cham- pion, in one round.

Pladner clearly hed the edge in all the others. But the “Spider” looked drawn and pale as a result of his strenuous and jsuccessful efforts to make the fly- weight limit. He said before the fight he would campaign hereafter as a bantamweight.

All of Whitney's horses but one were led to safety, as the barn was destroyed. Dozens of horses, at the track for the spring meeting which opened on Monday, escaped, or were led to safety by stable boys and trainers. Five companies from six towns were called. The fire was discovered by the horses themselves, their stamping and neighing arousing attendants in the barns, who summoned the fire de- partments. Horses known to have perished in the flames are Shasta Klan, Inlaid, Parchesie, Lass O'’Gowrie, Goulash, El Canoe, Hijo, and Sea Wolf. A re- port that Trieze, winner of yester- day’s last race, had died in the flames was unverified, while a report that a false.’ Track officials said today’s races ‘would be run as scheduled.
