THE GUARDIAN, CHARIOTTETOWN

PAGE SEVEN

When the City Baseball League swings into action here oil May 30th it will mark the earliest open- ing of the local baseball season experienced here in a decade and

although the squads comprising the loop have been held up in practice sessions due to the wea- ther it is expected that the open- ing game will produce abetter than average brand of baseball. O O O O

And it also locks as if all three teams will get underway very even- ly matched in strength. Since the inaugural meeting of’ the league strong efforts have been made to bring a-bout such a state of affairs and with the respective managers co-operating wholeheartedly the usual arguments that take place over lust what team such. and such a player will perform with has been noticeable by its absence. As a result league officials are already visualizing a race right to the wire with all three in contending places. _

O O O O

Also this season every league game will have a bearing on the final outcome, In the past all three teams were certain of a playoff spot. As a result no great amount oi stress was placed on any par- ticular game but now this has been changed and but two teams will take part in the playoffs. One is certain to be left on the outside and before t is happens it can be expected at the rival man- agers will place as much stress on each game as if the league title were at stake.

O O O O

And adding still more interest to the league is the announcement that the Bike Shop. through man- ager Art Burns will donate troph- ies to go to the winner of the bet- ting title and the best individual fielding star. In past years these two honors have (been keenly fought for with nothing going to the winner but announcement of the trophies will add lots of im- centive to every player participat- ing in the league.

O O O

Too many times in the past- and this is another matter that is worthy of mention-playoffs have run into the late fall and clashed with Island piaydowns. This has always been s bone of contention and here again the officials have stepped in and come up with a cure for the ailment. This year's league schedule will end in the closing week of July. Any post- poned games can be looked after in the next couple of weeks before the playoffs get underway and it is expected, that the entire sched- ule will be cieaned up in schedule thereby leaving the way clear for the coming playdowns in the jun- ior end intermediate divisions. That was certainly another move in the right direction and one that will be heartily endorsed by the (ens in general. .

O O

By the above it can be seen that strong efforts erebeing made to make this season en outstanding one in baseball. The (fans are showing keen interest; there are several of last year's Juniors ready to plug the gaps left in intermed- iate squads and taken all in all the officials headed by President Sammy Doyle who literally pulled the game up by the bootstraps a few seasons back are beginning to sec their efforts bear fruit. And these same officials are deserving oi loads of credit.

the Cleveland Indians. lost his first game in five starts since wearing a New York Yankee uniform when the l wly St. Louis Browns beat the onx Bombers. 6-5. Washington Senators edged out the Chicago White Scx. 5-4.

The Bosox pushed over four runs in the fifth inning on four hitS. including Ted Williams‘ double and a triple by Bobby Doerr, and the 17,100 fans settled back for what apparently was the usual pattern for games at Briggs Stadium this season.

The Tigers added three unneed- ed runs in the next stanza.

The Red Sox loaded the bases in the ninth but got only one run as Stubby Overmire, third Detroit pitcher, bore down.

Virgil Trucks. who started for the Tigers and was after his fourth straight victory. went out in the big Boston inning and was succeeded by Hal White, who got credit for the win.

Reynolds, who began the game boasting five wins. gave up all St. Louis runs before bowing out for a pinch-hitter in the sixth inning.

The Yankees gave Reynolds a 8-0 lead by scoring three times in the third inning but the Browns tied the count in the fourth. After the Yanks went ahead with two more in the fifth on homers by Charley Keller and Johnny Lin- dell, the Browns again came back with three in their half of the fifth to win the game.

Bob Dillinger walked to start the Browns‘ winning rally. He scored on Chuck Stevens‘ double.

stevens came home with the tying run on Gen-y Pdddys triple end Priddy scored the payoff counter on White Plattfs fly out.

In whining their third straight from Chicago. the Senators nand- ed the White Sox their 11th set- back in the last 12 games.

Ray Scarborough, third Wash- ington pitcher, singled tc score Ed Stewart with the winning run in the third extra round. Stewart walked with one out. He stopped at second on Jack Earlys safety before Scarborough connected.

Al Evans’ single scored Garden Gillenwater with Washington's first run in the second. ,J'.uiivi_v Goodwin, starting Chicago pitcher, gave up (our walks to force home two runs in the sixth before Ike Pearson replaced him. Then Eddie Yost singled for Washington's fourth run.

Chicago scored first in the fourth and added two more in the sixth on Bob Kennedy's single. Luke

Appling singled Cass Mlcnaels home with the tying run in the seventh.

Cleveland's Indians moved into first place in the American Lea- gue by downing the circuit-leading Philadelphia Athletics 6-1.

Cleveland sent two men home in the first inning when Allie Clark's triple scored Thurman Tucker and Clark crossed the plate on Joe Gordon's infield out.

Four more Cleveland runs fol- lowed in the second frame. Gene Bearderfs single drove in Pat Seerey and a one-beggar by 'I‘uck- er pushed over Jim Hogan. A triple by Eddie Robinson brought in Bearden and Tucker.

Philadelphia made its run in the seventh, when Buddy Rosar- singled and later scored on Eddie Joost's single.

Lou Brissle opened for the Ath- letics. but went out in the second after the Indians had pounded him for four hits. Bob Savage and Charles Harris followed him to the mound.

NEW YORK. May 18- (a2)- Gil Dodds, who thinks nothing of running the rnlle and the two- mile on the same program, may try a new twist next month—ap- peering in trad: meets at Boston and New York on the same day.

The comeback of several vow-en hurlers is getting the attention of the fans. The two-hit Job turned in by Elmer Riddle against the Cubs was a most surprising effort. He held the heevystickers at bay and shut them out in easy fash- ion. Riddle was passed up by the Redo u hopeless last winter and the Pirates picked him up for the 010.000 waiver price. Why? Riddle would games against 15 defeats in 1041-42. l-le surely had some- thing in reserve. Maybe his show- ing against the Cubs will Justify that investment.

(Canadian Press Staff Writes") IDN-‘DON, May l8 (OP) - Fifteen hundred teams which make up the Club Cricket Confer- ence will return to wartime ar- rangements to overcome difficul- ties caused by the ban on pleasure motoring if they follow the ad.- vice of chairman E. H. Cooper. Cooper suggests teams should come to agreements whereby the home club provides most of the equipment to be used by both sides. as was done during the war by non- serivce organizations.

"By being able to borrow pads and gloves from the home club, s. visiting team would not have to ask two of its members to carry s heavy club bag on crowded buses and trains," he said.

New zealancrs swimming hope for the Olympic Games is a woman backstroke swimmer, Miss Ngaire Lane, who has been breaking local records almost every week since the start of the present swimming season in the Dominion.
