Just look what happened yester- day, the first Sunday of the cam- paign, and only the seventh playing day. 1. Alex Kellner, wko dropped six of seven decisions to fae New York Yankees last year, shut out the world champions for the second time within six days. The tall Philadelphia Athletics’ left-hander became the first pitcher in 29 years to blank the Yanks twice in a row, two-hitting them, %-0, in the second game of yesterday’s doubleheader. He turned them. back, 5-0, on five hits opening ay. 2. Babby Shantz, who didn’t lose two in a row last year until early in September, dropped his second straight start when the Yanks de- feated him, 5-2, in the first game. The Yankees also took him to camp, 4-1, last Wednesday. 3. The St. Louis Browns, gen- erally picked to finish deep in the second division, are leading the American. League today with five triumplis in % games. An 11-in- ning 6-8 win over the Tigers yester- day gave the Browns a sweep of the three-gme series in Detroit and extended their winning steak to four in a row. 4. Walter Masterson, discarded by the Red Sox las: summer as all washed up, turned on his form- er mates with a five-hitter, fanning nine, as he pitched the Washington Senators to a 4-0 triumph over Boston. 5. Although they accumulated only nine hits off five Pittsburgh pitchers, the. Brooklyn Dodgers were recipients of 14 bases on balls and stole four bases to over- whelm the Pirates, 12-4. The result boosted the Dodgers’ first-place lead in the National League to one full game over St. Louis and dropped the Pirates into the cellar with four defeats in five starts. 6. The Cardinals scored two runs on two Milwaukee double plays, enough to give them a 4-3 victory over the Braves in a game that was halted in the first inning be- cause of a snow-flurry. A blinding snow, incidentally, halted: the Dodger-Pirate game in Pittsburgh for 37 minutes. Snow, rain and cold weather forced postponements of scheduled double-headers between Cleveland and the White Sox in Chicago, and Chicago and the Redlegs in Cin- cinnati. Unplayable weather condi- tions also wiped out a scheduled game between the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Giants at the Polo Grounds. Kellner’s feat highlighted Sun- day’s diamond activities. The 28- year-old’ native of Tucson, Ariz., did not wal a batter. He faced only 28 YaliRees. A double and triple by Gene Woodling spoiled his Ft.

The first game will bring togeth- er the Evans Enterprises nine and the Legion Post No. 168.

This year Armed Forces day will be celebrated on May 16 and there is a possibility that they may play again on that day.

The A’s col: lected 10 hits off loser Jim Me- Donald and Whitey Ford but Gus Zernial’s home run was all Kellner needed, Two-run singies by veteran Johnny Mize and rookie Bill Renna helped Ewell Blackwell to his first game win. The last time a pitcher shut out the Yankees in two successive starts was in 1934 when Schoolboy Rowe of the Tigers blanked them, 24, in New York Aug. 17, and again in Detroit by the same’ score Sept. 18. A three-run outburst in the 11th highlighted by Bobby Young’s elutch single and daring base-run- ning, gave the Browns .their uphill win over Detroit. Relief pitcher Marlin Stuart, former Tiger, gained his second win over his former mates in two days, Satchel Paige, the ageless wonder, saved Stuart’s win with a neat relief job, his third in the last four games. ‘Ned Garver, traded by St. Louis to Detroit last August, lost his second straight to his ex-team- mates. Jackie Jensen’s double and triple paced the Senators to their first victory of the year. Roy Campanella and Duke Snider drove in four runs apiece, Jackie Robinson reached base for the eighth straight time and rookie Junior Gilliam stole three bases as the Dodgers made it three in a row over the hapless Pirates. Stan Musial’s first home run, in | the fifth inning, snapped a 3-3 tie and gave the Cardinals their second win in three games to boost them into second place. Bill Bruton, the flashy Braves rookie center fielder, continued his spectacular hitting, collecting two of Milwaukee's eight safeties, to give him 10 hits in 18 times at bat.
