Still, opening day conditions at Ebbeta Field being what they were, it is obviously impolitic to blame Philadelphia weather on the town.

Weather of a unique sort was required to wipe out the final contest of Brooklyn's three-game series against the Phillies. Just as the athletes of both teams had about completed their preliminary loosening up, hailstones started dropping out of gray, sullen skies and all over Bill Baker's premises.

Three home runs made in the, curtailed area of the altered outfield, delivered by Frank Hogan, Fred Llndstrom and Bill Terry, were the crushers that forced the Braves to, their knees. Rogers Hornsby also got the range of the new layout, which is a "setup" for four- ED. ROUSH I base specialists. Virgil Bar; making his 1928 debut for the invaders from the banks of the Harlem, was too effective for the Hub hirelings, and although found for 11 safeties, kept them well distributed. Charley Robertson undertook the burden of subduing the Giants and did a good job for six innings.

The Giants got their siege guns operating in the and Charley was shelled so hard in the seventh that he was forced to seek shelter fn the dugout. During his stay in the front wave he I Athletics Take Second From Yanks as Walberg Uses Whitewash Brush RUBE WALBERG, who does his twisting from the port side, had an ambition of long standing realized at the Stadium yesterday, when he opened up a bag of tricks that were so baffling and mystifying that the New York Yankees were humiliated by the Philadelphia Athletics, 10 to 0. Rube has always harbored the feeling that he would like to exercise the whitewash brush in Harlem for a lengthy spell and he did an artistic job yesterday, tie reduced the dynamite packed by "Murderers Row to a minimum, limiting the dangerous marauders in the employ of Col. Jacob before the game was to have begun, a delighted Ray Moss stepped upon the practice rubber and began to loosen up the muscles in his rarely used right arm. Moss Gets Few Chances to Start Big league starts have been few and far between for young Mr.

Moss In the course of the three seasons he has been more or less member of the Brooklyn team. In all that time he has started only one game for the Robins. He finished that one and It, too, defeating the Cincinnati club In a fine exhibition at Redland Field. That was last September and another September might have been ex-, pected to roll around before Moss in teh ordinary course of events started again. A whole hodf ul of circumstances gave him his chanec this afternoon.

It was really Jess Petty's turn to pitch; but Petty Is being preserved for that Important Sunday same asainst the Giants Doug McWeeny, Jumbo Jim Elliott and Rube Ehrhardt were used up in the two previous games or the fniiaaei-ohia series. William Watson Clark, the left-hander, has a bad cold- So has William Leopold Doak, the an-tiauated snitball heaver. That narrowed the pitching choices 'down to Moss and Lou KoupaL Moss sot teh starting assignment.

The athletes retired to their igloos to listen to the dismal patter of ha 11-' stones on the roof. "I might have known that something queer would happen when I'm to pitch," declared young Mr. Moss quietly. "The next time I get out there, the stands will probably catch on fire." Life is like that sometimes. Robins Get Even Break in Fhilly.

The postponement of this after- -i noon's scheduled game prevented the Robins from landing more than an ovtn break in Mr. Baker's bandbox. That' will be forgiven if the boys can get off to a good start in the season series with the Oiants tomorrow. It looks as though the first appearance of Andy Cohen and the Oiants in Flatbush will be a gala occasion. Reserved seats for the game were sold out at Ebbets Field aa early as last Monday.

Speculators around and about the Flatbush ball park have plenty, which Is more deplorable than anything else. Tomorrow there will be flocks of letters and telephone calls showered upon Ebbets Field and Brooklyn newspaper offices, without producing any way out of the annual mixup.

(Special to The Eagle.) New Haven, April 21 Yale threw away today's game' with Fordham, 4 to 2, in 1Q innings on three occasions, first when Catcher Hoben heaved wildly to first base in the fourth scoring Egan: second in the fifth when Grove's wild toss gave Feaster first and finally in the tenth when Loud missed an easy out, tossing the ball into right field and allowing Loelv wing and Laborne to score. Yale scored when Grove was called home from third in the fifth inning on a balk and Garvey, who had reached second on his two-bagger, followed on vaughan's sacrifice fiv.

Yare. outbatted Fordham almost two to one. Brewster Loud, the Eli reserve pitcher, passed eight batters, and two base runners thus presented witn nrst later scored. Johnny Gar vey again led the Yale attack with four safeties and a sacrifice in five trips to the plate.
