New York's brave new world will have to mark time until Mickey Mantle can lace on his shoes again. "Too bad it isn't October," Houk said Monday after his Yankees had mauled Washing- ton Senators 8-0 in the American League's annual presidential opener to gain first place for New York's impressive geta- and a 14-hit attack, was marred by the loss of Mantle, whose debut as a first baseman was cut short when he aggravated a spring training injury during the Yankees' seven-run_ third inning explosion. SCORED ON INJURY Mantle left the game with a pulled hamstring muscle in his} left leg after scoring from first base on Joe Pepitone's triple in the third. He originally had pulled the muscle sliding into second base in a March 22 exhi bition against Boston. } While Stottlemyre, a 20-game loser for the 10th-place Yanks last year, was throttling the Senators before a D.C.

Port Perry Flyers Tie Final PORT PERRY (Staff)--Port Perry Flyers nosed out Mister TV Towers 3-2 in their crucial playoff game on Sunday evening here, to even the Town and Country Hockey League champ- fonship finals at one win apiece. Third and deciding game, plus overtime if necessary, will be played Sunday evening at Port Perry Arena. There was no scoring in Sun day's hard - checking game un- 'til late in the first period, when Cliff Caradock took a pass from Norm Weales and beat goalie Ken Noakes with a slap - shot that sizzled all the way. Midway through the second stanza, Bob Murray gained pos- session of the puck and beat goalie Cliff Long with a nifty back - hander, to even the count. Long got his glove to the puck but just failed to hold it out. Both clubs battled hard in the third period looking for the key break, but good back - checking foiled Bob Robinson twice. "Bud" Heard found himself in the clear, inside the TV Tow- ers' blue - line and he made no first delivery, and Yankee pitchers took it from there. Stottlemyre yielded only an infield hit by Cap Peterson in the second inning and a ground single by Valentine in the ninth. TRESH SPARKLES Tom Tresh touched off the Yankees' third-inning uprising with a double off loser Pete Richert and rookie Bill Robin- son followed with the season's first homer. Mantle singled, Pepitone tri- pled and Elston Howard singled for two more runs. Charlie Smith beat out an infield roller and John Kennedy, recently ac- quired from the Dodgers, lashed a two-run double before Stottle- myre capped the barrage with a run-scoring single. | Pinson and Johnson cracked first-inning homers for Cincin- nati against right-hander Bob Miller, who has moved from the bullpen into Sandy Koufax' spot|: in the Dodgers pitching rotation.| iniehed as runners-up in the Simpson hit a pinch homer off} annus Ontario Police reliever Ron Perranoski in the seventh before a turnout of 28,422 at Crosley Field. | The other 16 major league clubs opened their pennant bids today, with Baltimore's world champion Crees entertaining innesota Twins and Pittsburgh | Pirates, the National League| In New York favorites visiting the Mets at New York.

The sudden - death overtime session was a brief one, Port Perry Flyers maintained the pressure from the drop of the puck and clicking for the win- ning goal, on a scramble in front of the net, with Gerry Gar- nett and Gord Dennis combining to set up Dave Bradley for the payoff tally. Goalie Ken Noakes was screened on the play an had no chance on Bradley's back - hand shot. Cliff Caradock, "Bud" Heard and Dave Bradley were the goal - scorers for the winners while Bob Murray and Ron Chapman each scored for Mis- ter TV Towers.

Phillies Grab Francona To Replace Injured White By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Tony Taylor's career as & first baseman, a temporary thing anyway, has been cut in half even before Philadelphia Phillies opened their 1967 base- ball season today. The Phillies shortened Tay- lor's try at first by acquiring veteran first baseman Tito Francona from St. Louis Cardi- nals for an undisclosed amount of cash Monday. Taylor, a second baseman, had been the scheduled re- placement for Bill White, whose injured foot is expected to side- line him for several months. Now, the righthanded Taylor | will be platooned with the left-) handed Francona. | Francona, 33, appeared in 83 games for the Cardinals last year, hit four home runs and drove in 17 runs while hitting| .212. Philadelphia will be his) sixth stop after tours with Cleveland Indians, Chicago White Sox, Detroit Tigers, Bal- timore Orioles and the Cardi- nals in his 10-year major league career. To make room for him, the Phillies sent pitcher Bill Wilson outright to their San Diego farm club. Another veteran got a new lease on his career as California Angels offered Jim Pilersall a contract after he trained with- out one this spring. Piersall, 37, who has been in the major leagues since 1953 and with the Angels the last three years, hit .211 in 75 games last season. The Angels also grabbed cat- cher Orlando McFarlane from Detroit on waivers and sent right - handed Fred Newman, southpaw Clyde Wright and cat- cher Merritt Ranew to Seattle. Shortstop Jack Hernandez was sent to Minnesota's Den- ver farm club, completing the trade that brought Jim Hall, Don Mincher and Pete Cimino to the Angels for Dean Chance. Chicago Cubs placed veteran infielder Felix Mantilla on the disabled list with a pulled ten- don and added rookie pitcher Joe Neikro and veteran catcher Dick Bertell to the roster. Baltimore and Cleveland reached the 28-player limit as the Orioles optioned catcher Vic Rosnovsky and pitcher Dave Leonhard to Rochester Red Wings and the Indians returned rookie pitcher Billy Wynne to Jacksonville Suns, both of the International League. Houston optioned pitcher Danny Coombs to Asheville, N.C., returned catcher Doc Ed- wards to Oklahoma City and placed outfielder Alonzo Harris, 19, on the roster.
