SPORTS FRONT

By PIUS GALLAGHAN

A small item appeared on many sport pages last week but it certainly didn’t attract a ‘great deal of attention. It stated that the St. Louis Cardinals had sold pitcher Herman Wehmeier to the Detroit Tigers for around the waiver price of $20,000. It merely added the facts that the 31-year-old right hander started three times this season but was pounded hard and compiled a 13.50 earned run average. His record was 0-1.

Wehmeier had never any real claim to greatness but he had his moments which he likes to remember and other like to forget. And Milwaukee Braves are ones who surely would like but just cannot forget Herman.

It was at Busch Stadium on Saturtiay night, B, 1956 that Wehmeier dealt the Braves one of their ’most cruel ‘blows. He was chosen to pitch for Cardinals against the Braves in a game that meant nothing to the Red Bards but a pennant to the Milwaukee club. Opposing him was the great Warren Spahn, a hurler who will long be remembered after the name of Herman Wehmeier-is completely forgotten.

The Braves were in a terrific stretch drive with the Brooklyn Dodgers for the right to meet New York Yankees in the World Series. The Dodgers had won a double bill from the Pirates early in the day and were a half game in front of Fred I-haney’s Braves. A win for Milwaukee would knot things again and Sunday would find each team playing single contests to conclude the regular zchedule. A playoff loomed as a real possibility.

But Mr. Wehrneier pitched that night as if the Cards, not the Braves, were seeking the National League ﬂag. It was a gruelling twelve-inning affair that the Cards ﬁnally won 2-1, with Bruton’s homer the only tally off the St. Louis moundsman. Spahn pitched a brilliant five-hitter but it all went down the drain as did'Braves' pennant hopes. Milwaukee won Sunday but so did the.Dodgers and that meant Brooklyn had the flag by a ‘one-game argin.

Yes. Milwaukee will long remember the pitching performance of Herman Wehmeier. And Herman won’t easily forget the oc- casion. You can be sure orfthat. ,

It certainly must be no consolation to Roy Campanella that his buddies, Los Angeles Dodgers, are occupying the National League basement. The paralyzed Campy «would feel a lot happier if his former teammates were gaining more glory for themselves.

While most of the news about‘ Roy has been on the ‘sober side’ the word from New York neurologist,’ Dr. Howard A. Rusk, is the most cheerful we read. ~ ‘

Dr. Rusk feels that it is indeed favourable that Campane1la’s paralysis is relaxed rather than spastic. The doctor states that rehibilitation to the place where they can earn a living and return to a dignified position at home is now acheved for 75% of these individuals paralyzed in both arms and legs. The neurologist adds gtait never has he seen one of his patients in better physical con-

on.

All of which makes the future for the former Dodger receiver ﬁat much more hopeful. It t O I ,3

Eddie Stanky, fiery Cleveland Indians coach and former St. Louis Cardinals’ manager has opened his mouth again and as usual his utterance leaves a lively topic for debate. Eddie was never one to keep his thought to himself; that fact has got him into plenty of trouble in the past. ’

Now his latest comparisons- of players ate sure to get some- body on his neck right smartly. Comparisons are always odious and this one by Stanky is one that seems certain to get National Leaguers up in arms in a hurry; particularly from Bill Rigney and his San Francisco Giants. _

Here’s Stanky’s statement: “The more I see of Mickey Mantle, the more I think he has it all over Willie Mays.”

Local curlers held their annual meeting last week, electing new officers to conduct their business for the coming season. Satisfactory reports were given by the various committee chairmen all of whom worked hard to make the year the success that it was. ”

There was one new report—that was the one concerning the Dominion Schoolboy Curling Championships held in Charlottetown this past winter. This was indeed a big venture and ‘everybody was skeptical as to the financial outcome of it.

However all came off without a hitch and there was no red ink needed when everything was over.

Receipts, made up of programs and ticket sales totalled $5,400.80, while expenditures amounted to $4,633.27. This left a credit balance ‘of $767.53. something which was hardly expected when this mammoth project was undertaken.

The tremendous publicity that this province received through these championships cannot properly be valued. Prince Edward Island was made better known from one end of the Dominion to the other and it was the kind of advertising that does any province proud.

All those who were connected with this great sporting event are certainly deserving of the highest commendation.

The amazing feats of Bob Turley, New York Yankees’ mounds- man, still continues.

Turley racked up win number six on Sunday with a 3-0, five- hit job of the once-annoying Washington Senators. Turley’s triumph came after old Sal Maglie had pitched the American League _pennant holders to a 5-2 victory in the opener of the twin bill. Old Sal not only hurled the complete game for the Bombers but came through with a three-run homer. .

Turley kept up his sensational mound duty with his win over the Senators. It was number six and four of those were shutouts. H18 earned run average is now below the 1 mark.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)—U.S. District Judge Mell G. Under- wood Monday moved to simplify the issues in the government’s anti-trust suit against the United States Trotting Associati 11.

Th e government claims the USTA, through its charter, rules and regulations, has obtained a stranglehold over harness racing.

The judge told attorneys rep- resenting the government and the USTA to “-take the chips off your shoulders and talk things over” on what should be tried. The at- torneys went into a huddle.

The government has asked the USTA a series of complicated questions which the USTA did not answer.

Anti-Trust Suit Against U.S.T.A.

.. by BEN OLAN .. NEW YORK (AP)—A ma.ster- ful pitching staff with a combined earned run average of 2.05, 13 complete games and seven shut- outs in 24 games confronts the seven American League run- ners-up as they seek to prevent New York Yankees from making a shambles of the pennant race. As they head west for their initial swing of the young season, the Yanks hold a 6%-game lead built largely on the efforts of starting pitchers Bob Turley, Don Larsen and Bobby Shantz and the excellent relieving of Ryne Duren. Among them Turley, Larsen and Shantz have won 13 games and lost none. Turley, 6-0, has gone the distance in each of his victories while -recording four shutouts. He has yielded only five

the government did not answer.

Monday’s hearing was to deter- mine whether any or all of the questions should be answered on both sides. -

Judge Underwood said the first question to be settled is whether the USTA is engaged in inter- state commerce. After that, the court will rule on the issues. which will be pinned down at the conference of the attorneys.

The judge asked each side whether it could agree thr/. the whole issue is whether the asso- ciation's rules and regulations are in accordance with the law. The conference will determine whether the issue can be stated that simply.

The hearing was preliminary to a full dress trial of the suit.

Says Snider's Attitude Wrong

LOS ANGELES (AP) -— Duke Snider “no longer has the mental

this year for the first time since 1930.

attitude for baseball.” Los Ange- les D o d -g e r s general manager E. J. Bavasi says.

“Something is wrong with Sni- der.” Henald Express baseball writer John Old quotes B-avasi as saying. “I have no sympathy for him. With all his talent, look at him-—-only five runs batted in this season, and we had counted on

him heavily. .

“I should have suspended him in Florida after he reinjured his operated knee in a car accident.”

Bavasi was asked if he intended to suspend the veteran outfielder, who is batting only .225 and is reported not following medical advice to take specialexercise to break down knee adhesions.

“That wouldn’t do any good now. He’d still draw his better than $42,500 salary. No. he'll suf- fer along with the rest of us.”

Would Bavasi like to make some trades? '

“The way our fellows are going, nobody wants any of the Dodgers, and I don”: blame them.”

Asked by Mi r r o r baseball writer Charlie Park specifically what was wrong with the club, Bavas-i said: '

“Well, whatever is wrong, Walt Alston (manager) isn’t to blame.

Bavasi pointed out that two pitchers the Dodgers were count- ing on, Don Drysd-ale and Don Newcomibe, have won one game and lost 10 between them.

But Bavasi thinks the lack of hitting is more responsible for the Dodgers’ occupancy of the cellar than poor pitching. ,

Wightman Cup teams have not ‘been named yet but British tennis leaders expect American players to be Karol‘ Fageros, Mrs. Dor- othy Head Knode, Mimi Arnold, Althea Gibson and Mrs. Margaret Dupont.

There's no Maureen Connolly or Doris Hart in that bunch and no one, not even 1957 Wim- bledon champion Althea Gibson, is clearly a better player than the British probalbles of Christine Tru- man, Shirley Bloomer, Ann Hay- don, Angela Mortimer and Sheila Armstrong. V

“Our chances are definitely good this year,” said S. B. Reay, secretary of the Lawn Tennis As- sociation of Great Britain. HAVE BEST CHANCE

“Without a doubt we have our best opportunity in the Wightman Cup this year since’well before World War Two.”

American women's tennis has, like other American sports, de- clined during the last five to seven years. Sometimes the de- cline has been rapid. . _

Althea Gibson has taken up a singing career in addition to ten-. nis since she won the Wimbledon title against an extremely poor field last July.

She unexpectedly lost several matches in tournaments thd s spring and her form has been most unimpressive while the -form of Miss Truman and Miss Bloomer has been improving—es- Pecially on grass, the surface for
