THE GUARDIAN.

Philadelphia Phils shelled Preach- er Roe from the mound with a lzve-run first inning and went on Thursday to whip Brooklyn Dod- gers ,9-2. The defeat snapped a six-game National League win- ning streak for the Brooks.

Robin Roberts, 23-year-old right- hander. went the route for the Phils. allowing eight hits. Homers by Pea Woo Reese and Roy Camp- miella spoiled his bid for I shut- out.

Willie Jones got Philadelphia off on the right foot with a grand- siam homer in the first. Phiilies picked up single tallies in the fourth and fifth and closed the scoring in the ninth with two more when Dick Sisler slammed a four-bagger with a mate aboard.

Sisler paced the Phils' 13-hit at- tack against five pitchers with four safeties.

Boston Braves defeated New York Giants 2-1 in the 10th when pitcher Dave Koslo walked Wil- lard Marshall with the bases full and one out.

Warren Spahn, the Braves' ace southpaw held the Gidnts to six hits in his home park.

For seven innings Spahn was locked in I scoreless tie with Mon- tia Kennedy, the New York left- hander who was making his first start of tho season. Then Wes West:-um's lead-off triple followed by pinch-hitter Jack Magulre's long fly to right put the Giants ahead. l-0.

Boston came back to tia the score. and in the 10th Bomon load- ed tho bases on another Giant error, I hit batsman and I walk. Koslo then threw four straight balls to Marshall. forcing in Spahn wi.t.h the winning run.

Porl Coibome Withdrawn From Hockey Race

TORONTO. April Tl-(Q)- George Panter, secretary of the Ontario Hockey Association. an- nounced today that Port Coihorne Merchants have withdrawn from the intermediate A title hunt so far as the O. H A. is concerned."

Punter said he sent a telegram to this effect to Hanson Dowell of

Middleton, N. S.. convennr for Eastern Canada intermediate playoffs.

"If Port Coihnrne decides to continue it will be entirely on

their own,” he -added. The merchants won the O. H. A.

teams still in the running are Rouyn Flashes, Quebec champions. and Halifax and Bagotville.

Bagotvlllc defeated Halifax 5-3 last night in the first game of I best-of-five eastern semi-final. Rouyn is markLrig time after cli- minating Thursu.

Punter said the O. H. A. with- drew sponsorship of Port Col- borne for further play because the playoffs are extending too far in- to the spring. "However, we are not forbidding them to play if they wish to make arrangements on their own."

In Port Colborne, team officials said they are investigating inde- pendently whether to carry on, but think it unlikely they will. The Merchants are defending Eastern Canada champions.

Marlboro Seniors

Juniors Eliminated

TORONTO. April 2'! - (CP) - Toronto Marlboro Seniors could be pardoned I smile when the Junior Marlborcs were eliminated from the Memorial Cup hunt. In that way the Seniors picked up a couple of players who have spear- headed the streich drive to the Allan Cup final against Calgary Stampeders.

Marlboros. with juniors Danny Lewicki and George Armstrong. last night boarded a train for Cal- gary where the best-of-seven final opens Monday night.

Lewicki, 10-year-old Fort Wil- liam winger. and Armstrong. a year his senior and from Skead. Ont., added devastating fire to the On- tario Hockey Association senior club in the early rounds leading to the eastern final.

Once up in senior company and centred by Bob Hasard of Lloyd- minsier. Sask.. the trio formed I .poient goal-producing outfit in the

playoffs. It was Lewicki's goal. ' tlelng Sherbrooke Saints' marker

in the final game of the eastern lflnal Tuesday night. that spark- ed the eventual 3-1 victory that gave Dukes the series four games to two.

The Allan Cup avenue for Mar- ilies thus far has been relatively easy. Only against Sherbrocke were they really threatened as ,the Saints cut the 3-0 lead in

games to one before Marlboros lelected themselves champs with the sixth-game victory.

The easy manner of victory over second-rate clubs has had coach Joe Primeau worried at times.

Dukes have an average age of about 23. They're fast-skating and sharp shooting. Though young in years. the roster has nen con- siderable hockey and two have done turns with National Hockey League clubs or other pro outfits in the U. S.

The veterans are Bill (Flash) Hollett. the North Sydney. N. 8. Veteran who performed I number of years with National League . clubs. and Scotty Mair, fleet New- p market. Ont., winger in spite of

VICTORIA ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

In I brief chat yesterday with George Walters. competing cap- tain of the Abegwelt track and field team for the past number of years. he tells us that he is plan- ning on rounding up the boys shortly for the commencement of training in preparation for forth- coming Maritime competition this season. George stated that he is anxious to get the juniors started as soon as possible, and that will be just as soon as the cinder track at Memorial Field is dry enough to start working out on.

I I I

In discussing the outlook and possibilities as far as the Abbies are concerned this season. team- captain Waiters believes that the team's chances in Maritime com- petition lcok pretty good if the boys who have been performing

title last night, defeating Tilon- Wm) ""3 Squad d””l"g ”".135l sburg Chevwoods 9-1 to win the coulole of years are available series 34 in um”. The other again this year. In the four ma-

Jor Maritime Track and Field meets last year, the Abbies took I first and three seconds, and came up with a senior mile relay team that was unbeaten in all four meets. 0 I I

George feels. however, that the team needs strengthening in the field events. a department that was short-handed in competition last year. They never had entries in many of the events, which if they had. might have picked up the necessary points that could have easily made up the difference be- tween a first place instead of a second. The Abbies only lost out to Antigonish by four points in defence of their Maritime title at

Amherst last year. I I I

His solution to this problem is the developing of new talent. par- ticularly ln the jnniqr group, and is anxious to see new blood take an interest in the sport, and is prepared to give of his experience and time to foster this develop- ment. 'There are plenty of husky youngsters going to school and college in the City right now.” Walters stated, ”that with a lit- tle training. would make good field men, if you co id just get them interested in ta ing it up." a . .

We aereeinith him one hundred per cent on that score too. And what is more, we think that George is yust the mlm who can teach them if they are willing to learn. He has been a leading competit- or in Maritime field events for I number of years. and has held Maritime records in the Javelin throw and other events. Compet- ing with the Abbies last year, he held his own with the best of them, BN1 '8 Planning on taking an act- ive part again this year. . . . .

Having had the opportunity of covering many of the events last season, this writer for one has seen plenty of promising material working out. Take for instance the Saint Dunstan's University an- nual track and field meet last year. We saw I number of boys taking part in different events. Just for the fun of it..in many cas- es, But they showed plenty of natural ability. There was one chap in particular, taking part in the high-jumps (WI have forgot- ten his name) who was in it right to the last few jumps, yet he told us afterwards, that he had never Jumped before in his life. Ability in the raw, and that is Just what is needed. Prr-per training and good coaching and up comes ano- ther promising athlete. I I I

There will be two major events held here at Charlottetown this year as far as Maritime compet- ition ls conconu-d. It will be the Islands turn to sponsor the Mari- tima Track and Field Champion- ships, and although we are not sure of the date It the moment. it will probably be in July or August, while the Annual Invit- ation Meet will be held again on labor Day. I I

other events that will be com- ing off that we know of, will be the Antlgonlsh Highland Games in July. and the Maritime Junior track and Field championships at Halifax. The latter event had dropped out of the sporting pic- ture during the war years, and is being revived again this year. I I I

Bosfon Red Sox Defeat N. Y. Yankees 1-2

(By The Canadian Press)

Boston Red Sox Thursday "walk- ed" over erratic Tommy Byrne and the world champion New York Yankees, 7-2. winning mainly on a fat fifth inning when they scored five runs with the aid of only one hit in an American Lea- gue game.

Byrne was hooked up in s l-1

duel with veteran Ellis Kinder go- ing into the fifth -when he went haywire. The big lefthander walk- ed four, committed a wild pitch, balked home a run and then grant- ed a two-run single to Tom Wright, Ted Williams' replacement in left field. Tom O'Brien flied out to end the Yankee nightmare. Errors by Yogi Berra and Joe Collins also figured in the uprising. . Brilliant relief pitching by Bob Hooper helped Philadelphia Ath- letics end a three-game losing streak with I 4-3 victory over Washington under the area. Hoop- cr hurled six-hit ball over the last. eight rounds in relief of starter Honk Wyse.

Cold weather caused postpone- ment of two games. Cleveland was scheduled to play at Detroit and St, Louis was to entertain Chicago under the lights.

Canadian Sport Snapshots

By not; McALEEIt (Canadian Press Staff Writer) TORONTO, April 27 - (CF) -

Are United States sport bodies stifling international competition?

When Spokane Flyers refused to play off with Chatham Maroons - Intemational Hockey League cham- pions - for the United states am- ateur title, it brought back mem- ories of similar occurrences to Jack (London Free Press) Park.

"Some say international compet- ition is increasing." notes Park, "but. there won't be much progress as long as organizations in the United States maintain their pre- sent attitude.

"In two out of the past three seasons, United States Congress baseball champs have refused to play off with the Canadian win- ners. They have given the same excuse .- that the season dragged too long."

Other sports Too

"we wouldn't he I bit surprised if Japanese swimmers, who won most of the United States titles this year and Korean marathoners. who dominated the Boston Marathon. were requested to stay home in the future."

Jack says the Americans aren't the only offenders, however. He notes that after Barbara Ann Scott of Ottawa won the European fig- ure skating title, a new rule was written into the book forbiddini entrants from outside of Europe.

"Then the Russians set up thclr own league for all sports. If the United states follows suit and enters into international compet- ition only when they are sure of winning, then you can fort!!!” 3501"-

all kinds of world champs." g.:g,j.LLL.....

It probably won't happen for a year or two and it won't be a "kick upstairs."

Bnytha also made than points:

1. Hugh Bolton, University of Toronto nginoaring student and dofancoman with Marlboro Ion- iors. will fill I Leaf resrguard spot next year. "BI is one Inan sun of I job on the club."

Fonner Gambler Teslifies In ll. S. investigation

(By Francis J. Kelly)

WASHINGTON. April 27-(AP) '

-Frankie Costello today told in. vestlgatlng senators that he really doesn't feel qualified now to give them any information on 11.. gambling business in which he conceded he once had a certain interest.

He explained that he has aband- oned earlier careers in the fields of bookmaking and slot machines in favor of investments in real estate. on and restaurants.

Costello is an Italian-born New Yorker who admittedly was once a boctlegger. The only offence for which he ever served time, how- ever, was pistol-toting. and that was 30 years ago.

He appeared. by request, before a senate commerce sub-commlttos which is considering legislation dc- slgned to prevent the interstate transmission of gambling informa- tion. A lawyer accompanl d him.

Like James J. Carroll. the St. Louis betting commissioner who testified yesterday. Costello dis- claimed any knowledge of a na- tlonnl crime syndicate. Certainly he doesn't belong to one. ha swore.

Under questioning by the com- mittee, the witness dallvarod him- self of two conclusions about garn- bllng:

1. If the Government wants to keep people from playing slot ma- chines it had better outlaw the machines; barring their shipment across state lines won't do it.

2. if the Government Wants to put the bookmakers out of busi- ness it is going to have to stop horse racing.

Costello and his accompanying barrister had to cool their hula, outside the committee room for more than an hour while an Ohio police chief spoke to the commit- tee at length about hoodlums and racketeers, paying direct attention to Costello as "a glorified goon."

The chief. Edward .1. Allan, Jr.. of Youngstown, expressed the opin- inn that "If it weren't for corrupt politicians Costello wouldn't be in the position he is in today."

Whether or not Costello was ever a king of the underworld. or even a duke. Junior grade. hs gives every evidence of prosperity now and has adapted hunsclf to the mould of a New York man of affairs. He even consults a pay chlatrist.
