The World Champion New York Yankees and Defending National League Champion Brooklyn Dod- gers, the choice of the experts and betting commissioners alike, ruled heavy favorites to repeat. Cleve- land and Chicago in the American, and New York, Philadelphia and St. Louis in the National, were given outside chances to pull up- sets. Although the Yankees and Dod- gers will have little or no change in their lineup$, teams in general have undergone tremendous re- vamping with only 44 per cent of last years starting lineups back. The batting orders present 22 freshman faces, excluding the pitchers. In today’s only American League game, Washington was scheduled to engage the Yankees at the na- tions capital, where Vice President Nixon subs for President’ E’sen- hower in throwing out the first ball. A crowd of 30,000 was expected to be on hand to see whether the Yankees can get off on the right foot in their bid for an unprece- dented fifth straight pennant. Allie Reynolds (20-8), the Yankees bril- liant right-hander, was to oppose Bob Porterfield (13-14), who once toiled for the New Yorkers. A capacity crowd of some 30,000 relinquish its franchise to the St. Louis Browns the following year. Manager Charley Grimm of the Braves planned to pitch right- hander Max Surkont (12-13) against Cineinnati,while Rogers Hornsby of the Redlegs decided on Clarence (Bud) Podbielan (5-5). Each pilot saved his star southpaw for tomor- rows games. Hornsby wants Ken- ny Raffensberger (17-13) to oppose his Chicago Cub cousius and Grimm held out Warren Spahn (14-19) for the predominantly left- handed hitting St. Louis Cardinals in Milwaukees first home game tomorrow. All teams swing into action to- morrow when ¢ight games ate expected to attract some 231,000 spectators, and bring the total attendance up to 291,000 for the 10 openers. The record opening day attendance was set in the lush 1948 days when 331,7§3 watched 10 in- augurals. Last year, eight openers drew 172,322 fans. Tomorrows largest crowd is éx- pected in Cleveland, where 55,000 hope to watch a right-handed duel between Saul Rogovin (14-9) of the Chicago White Sox and Bob Lemon (22-11) of the Indians.

The Cubs, winners of their last three openers, will face an old jinx in Raffensberger, who has whipped them 27 times while losing only 14. Somie 25,000 will see right- hander Bob Rush (17-13) try to snap the Redleg southpaw’s hex. The St. Louis Browns will lave their first night opener in history, meeting the Detroit Tigers. Some 15,000 will have to get accustomed to the new lineups. No fewer than seven players were on the oppos-! ing team in 1952, including right- hander Ned Garver (8-10) of De- troit, who last year pitched the opener for the Browns and shut out the Tigers, 3-0.
