There are four teams In IMa the Dodger.s, Giants, Yankees and the Red OrOH, the best team of all before a ball is thrown.

No one knows the ultimate winner of this round-robin on the playing field But off the field the Symbol of Mercy in a war-ridden univer.se can't lo.se The three local clubs are sharing all the rxpcn.se, so that the Red Crass receives the entire gro.s.s gate It a game for all Brooklyn to patronize, with the Giants the attraction, quite enough to steam up any Flat-bush fan. I was going to say any loyal Flatbush fan. but all Flatbush fans are loyal. Blocks of tickets have already been bought up or distribution to men. the wounded and the well.

lain List Carded One the healthy signs of the new season, which opcas Saturday club- -the Yankees, W. 42d moves over to the Yankee Stadium and winds up July 9 at the Polo Grounds. The Dodger.s engage the Yankees in the -ocond game, featuring Laughing Larry MacPhail and Bet. Chapman. Laughing Larry is in the wrong box seat now The former business manager of the Dodgers has become president of the Yanks.

This is his big New York debut. The last time MacPhail saw the Stadium was when his Dodgers beat the Yanks in the second game of the 1941 World Series, behind Whitlow Wyatt. The big righthander, whom Larry brought to Brooklyn at a cost of $25,000, isn't a Dodger any more, either. But MacPhail isn't so easy to lose. THE LAST TIME CHAPMAN SAW PARIS Ben Chapman is down to start against the team on which he was a star outfielder for six years.

One year he stole 61 bases for the Yanks. He visited the Stadium one day last season when the Dodgers had an off day and sat on his old splinter on the Yankee bench, visiting with Manager Joe McCarthy who taught him all he knew about playing the outfield after Benjamin had failed miserably at third. "I was a lousy third baseman." confesses Ben readily "But Joe taught me all the little outfield tricks- how to protect my foul line in a tight ball game to keep the tying or winning run in the ninth from reaching second base, how to give with the extra-base hits so that they wouldn't skip past to the fence. Oh, dozens of little things!" The last time Chapman saw the Stadium was from the opposite dugout. He was winding up his fly-chasing career with the White Sox -and didn't get off the bench during the whole came.

He wanted to pitch Thursday. Now he will The call ior tryouts brought Mlantic as noori (vh i mi l- 1 'km' Tickets are the long I penence. George Peigenbaum an scheduled, subject, to These, ol basketball icin. which 11M parts ol Long Island vv ill ur A L. plav open to yachtsmen thus Summer olfs.
