Larry Doby pulled Cleveland Indiana out of a disastrous Am- erican League losing streak yester- day, homering his mates to a 8-2 victory over the leading New York Yankees.

Doby blasted a tbo-foot-plua roundt-rlpper which cleared the 20-foot bleacher wall and landed in the seventh row among the fans in dead centre field. 1t was said to be the longest homer ever hit in Yankee Stadium.

Just to make lmtters complete, Doby drove home the Indians‘ two other runs.

Detroit blasted Washington 10-1 and moved up to within two games of the slipping Yanks. Boston Red sox lost. ’l-6 in 10 Innings to Chl- cago, which moved Cleveland 11D into sixth place. Cleveland had lost five straight before yesterday.

Steve Gromek. curve-balling right-bender, allowed eiglilt hits for thelnddans and was in trouble only in the fourth inning. 1t was Gromekb second victory and was tile first complete game by any of Cleveland's big four pitchers since Bob Feller downed Boston May 5. Bob Porterfleld went all the way for the Yanks to absoib his fourth loss. He had won only one.

Freddie Hutchinson's hitting and pitching helped Detroit consider- ably. He scattered seven hits in second victory and

a single and batted in three runs.

Rae Scarborough and Forrest ‘Thompson of Washington were nicked for l0 hits.

Scarborough, who was slammed for seven hits and issued seven bases on balls before being shell- ed from the mound in‘ the sixth, was blasted for eight of the Tig- ers’ runs. He was charged with his third defeat.

Although they rapped nearly twice as many hits, the White Sox needed the assistance of four Boston errors before they could whip the Red Sox.

‘Iihe Chicagoans made 13 hits to Boston's seven.

AT ALL HOURS

By the look of things, there is going to be a full program of

‘sporting entertainment for those who remain in the City during the ’24th. of May. In addition to the ex- ‘itenslve program which has been .llned up by the Department of {Physical Fitness and the Charlotte- ,tcwn Playground Commlssio , ‘which will feature a baseball game ‘in the ...afternoon between the ‘Abegweits and a mainland team, a ‘six-mile road race and ten-mile bike race in the evening, followed ‘by a mammoth dance, the latest ‘activity announced for that date will be the holding of the P, E. I. {skeet shooting championships, sponsored ..by the Charlottetown Skeet Club, which will be held at ,the Skeet Field at Tea Hill com- imenclng at nine o'clock in the morning. O O O O Besides all these organized pro- grams, that date will also herald ‘the opening of many of the indivi- dual sports such as the opening of local tennis clubs, the Charlotte- town Golf Club, etc., so that tak- ing all in all, Victoria Day should see practically all phases of local summer sport launclled for a suc- cessful season. O O O O It was noted recently that Bud "cEachern, former local junior hockey star and later a valuable member of the Sydney Millionaires who has been playing in the Eng- lish Hockey League since the end of the war, came up with a great season this year while performing with the Streatham Club, holding the top spot in that club as the leading goalgeiter with a total of 17 goals in 23 games, plus 13 as- sists for a total of 30 points. O O O O

Bud, who is well known here for his hockey ability a few years back when he played junior hockey, was a very fast. stylish skater and a tricky stick-handler which ranked him with the best here at that time. He is the son of Mrs. Angus McEachern and the late Angus McEachern of this City. He served with the Royal Canadian Medical Corps overseas and played for the Canadian Army while there and after returning home for a short time after the war, made his way back to England to continue his

hockey career there. O O

It was announced last night that the baseball game between the Charlottetown Abbles and the Summerslde Curran and Briggs team, which was scheduled to be played at the Western Capital last Wednesday evening but was post- poned on account of rain, will be played at the Curran and Briggs diamond at Summerslde this Sun- day afternoon at 2:30.

O O I

Joe Bernard. who will lead Hol- man's entry tn tho League, will al- so play for that team, but the executive of the loop has Put through s. resolution to the effect that Joe cannot do any pitching chores. His efforts on behalf of his charges will have to be put forth at other positions. Joe is of course, s member of the Curran at Briggs baseball team and will get all the pitching he wants with that ball club. The baseball in the Town League is expected to be 5 little below par this year and it was felt that if Bernard fogged them in for l-lolmanb it might make things f. bit one-sided.

O O

According to the Town League officials any member of the Cur- ran d: Briggs ball team is eligible to play for one of the teams in the Town League. That any of the other boys will take part in this league is extremely doubtful, how- EVH‘. because it is probable the Curran 6a Briggs management will establish a. rule forbidding mem- bers of ltp club to play with any of the other teams.

O O O

The anticipated clash between Summerside and Charlottetown baseball teams was rained out on Wednesday and it is expected the postponed exhibition game will be played at the new Curran d: 31188! diamond .on Sunday. The idea of s. Maritime Border League seems to be‘ getting dimmer and dimmer as time goes by. It looks to us as if our very beet bet is n. four team league among the Char- lottetown Abegweits and Victories, Summerside Curran d: Briggs and the local R. C. A. 1". We were talking to Bob Bayne recently and the manager of the ail-force team said his club might enter such a circuit.

, Meeting Tonight] To Consider Formation Of i island Baseball League

i Representatives of Bummer-side Curran and Briggs, Summerside R. C. A. F. and Charlottetown Ahegweits baseball teams will at- ytend a meeting at the Summer" side Armourles tonight at eight o'clock to endeavour to form a new league known as the P.-E. .1. Baseball League, it was announced ‘officially last night. l Officials decided to take the step lin forming this league in order to ‘give the senior players concerned the best available competition dur- ling the season and also to" provide the bee: possible type of competit-

It was originally hoped that two Mainland teams would compete against the Island teams, forming what. is known as the Maritime Border League, but due to the -1ack of interest on the Mainland and the desire to get a working league set up immediately. the original plan has been discarded, and the new league being formed will function strictly as an Island league, independent of any out- side governing bodies, etc.

Considerable enthusiasm has been displayed by all three teams in the formatlonof this league, and the Department of Physical Fit- ness is providing a suitable trophy to be held yearly by the winning team.
