IN THE NEWS:
Determined not to be a wartime casualty, the International
League reorganizes. The Richmond, Montreal, and Providence
franchises are replaced by Binghamton, Jersey City,
and Syracuse. Expenses are slashed, causing the resignation
of president Ed Barrow, who will go on to greater
glory with the Boston Red Sox. The IL will be the
only minor league to play its full schedule this year.

In the a.m. game of a doubleheader in Los Angeles,
Doc Crandall's no-hit bid against Salt Lake City (Pacific
Coast League) is spoiled with 2 outs in the 9th by
Crandall's brother Karl, but Los Angeles wins 14-0.
IN THE NEWS:
The AL season opens with Babe Ruth pitching a 4-hit
7-1 victory over the A's. Red Sox manager Ed
Barrow will start Ruth's conversion to slugger by
working him into 72 games as OF-1B.
