10. THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tussdey, Apri 13, 1965 PRESIDENT MAKES LIKE A REAL BALL FAN U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson gets right into the spirit of the season, shortly after tossing out the first ball, to officially open the American League season, at Washington, where the Sen- ators lost to Boston Red Sox 7-2. The President munches into a hot dog with obvious zest while Rep. Leslie Arends, (R-Ill.) (right) appears to have his eye on the mustard. --(AP Wirephoto) TWINS NIP YANKEES Circus Tactics Bring Laughs But Not Win By MURRAY CHASS Associated Press Sports Writer At least Charlie Finley adver- tised his circus. New York Yan- kees and Minnesota Twins kept theirs a secret until just before game time. A multitude of errors and wild pitches followed a flood- forced helicopter ride in Min- nesota's ll-inning 54 opening game victory over the Yankees Monday. | Finley's Follies, flavoring De- troit Tigers' 6-2 triumph over Kansas City Athletics at night, included Charles 0.'s trot around the bases on Charlie 0., plus a menagerie of pigeons, pheasants and a chick. In the other other American League game, Boston Red Sox whipped Washington Senators 7-2 in the presidential opener. N.L. Pitchers In Spotlight By HAL BOCK Associated Press Sports Writer It was opening day but Pitts- burgh's Bob Veale, Milwau- kee's Tony Cloninger and Casey Stengel's New York Mets were in mid-season form.
