Kids' Beait Vet dee iis- Baseball Opener Saturday By JACK HAND. Frank Hiller, a Yankee who got away, is the new glamor boy pitcher of the majors after his brilliant one-hitter for the Chicago Cubs. Hiller faced only 7 St. Louis Cardinals Thursday night, with two miscues erased on double plays. The Cubs beat Staley and Brazie 8-0 as Irvin's two homers helped Giants pull closer to the Dodgers. The Pirates and Reds game in Cincinnati was delayed by rain, finishing 7-5 after interruptions. In Milwaukee, a junior team retrieved five balls from Mrs. Meisner to salvage a single ball after a long wait. The piece also notes Stengel using two pitchers to shut out Washington and a Yankees outburst in the eighth.
