Hopes Brooklyn Dodgers Will Move To Toronto

TORONTO (CPJ- Rudie Schni- fer. general manag of Toronto Maple Leafs of the international Baseball League. said in an inter- view Thursday it seems inevitable that Boooklya Dodgers of the Na- tional League will move out of Brooklyn and he hopes they will come in Toronto.

Schaffer. who has been in the front office of major and minor league baseball teams for twenty years. believes it is becoming ap- parent that there is not room in one metropolitan area for three major eague teams such as in New Xnrk City where Brooklyn. New York Giants of the National

of the American League. all have parks.

Considerable sums of m o it e y would be needed to renovate Eb- bets Field in Brooklyn if the Dodgers planned to remain there for any length of time, Schaffer said. At the present time attend- ances are falling in Brooklyn.

"It some town comes along and shows the Dodgers they could make 31,000,000 profit each year for at least five years. they would be crazy not to take it," Schaffer said. He named Los Angeles, San Francisco and Toronto as the cities which could possibly obtain

Tlte fast moving New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs kept rolling right along Thursday. The Yanks padded their American League lead to 2 172 games by whipping Washington twice 8-4 and 7-3, while the Cubs held on to their second place spot in the National by smacking St. Louis Cardinals 3-0.

By sweeping the twin bill while ruriner-up Cleveland was splitting a pair with Chicago's White Sox, the Yan- kees wrapped up a long home stand with 12 victories in their last 14 games.

Thethird place New York Giants fell off the pace, dropping their fourth straight to Philadelphia 3-2 in 11 innings as the PhiLs' Richie Asburn took the NL batting lead with a .400 average on four hits in six trips.

Cincinnati beat Milwaukee S-4. jumping ahead of St. Louis into fifth place. in the first game of a scheduled doubleheader. The n' ” was postponed by rain.

Berra tagged a three-run homer in the first "inning of the second game and Wiesler had himselfpa 5-0 lead before giving way to Kon- stanty after forcing home two runs with five walks in the fifth. Kon- stanty went the rest of the way.

Dean Stone and Johnny Schmltz were the Washington starters and losers.

The Cubs sent Pullett winging to his 125th major league victory by smacking Gordon Jones for their three runs in the ftrat:.three frames. Speake hit his third homer in five games with a man on in the third.

Newcombe contributed a two-run triple and then stole home in the big ninth at Pittsburgh after the Dodgers had broken up a 2-2 tie on Sandy Amoroa' lead-off double and Carl Furillo's third single of the game. The Brooks lashed loser Ron Kline and Elroy Face for 13 hits.

HIT SEVEN DOUBLES

The Indians slapped seven doub- les to break even with the Sox. and had themselves a six-run in-' ninn. But it was a pinch single by Bob Lemon-charged with his fourth defeat in the opener-that brought home the winning run in the eighth after Nellie Fox made his second homer of the game good for three runs and a 9-9 tie in the top of the eighth.

Lemon lost his third straight by forcing home two runs with walks in the sixth inning of the first game. Jack Harshman, the Chicago winner. gave but five hits.

BALTIMORE (AP)-A surpris- ing number of eight horses. includ- ing one from Chicago that has earned less this year than it costs to start in the race. were signed up Thursday to run against hot- shot Nashua in the Freakness Sat- urday. -

The size of the probable nine- liorse field for the 79th staging of the classic for three-year-olds in the face of Nashua's imposing rec- ord of 10 triumphs in 13 races was unlooked for in itself.

But the virtually last-minute de- cisipn of a couple of owners. par- ticularly the B and G stable of Chicago. to put up 3500 to enter Sticks with another 3500 due Satur- day to start. caused even more wonder.

Besides Nashua and Sticks, the race for 0116.600. of which 068,050 willrgo to the winner if all start, drcw Duntreath Farm's Fleet Path. Montpelier Stable's Saratoga. Gee Cohen's Chuck Thompson, Roslyn Farm's Go Lightly, Ever glades Farm's Naiice's Lad. W-L Ranch's Honeys Alibi and Clifford Moor.-r's Traffic Judge.

BEST FINISIDFOURTH

Sticks has collected only 5590 this year in fourth-place money in six races. The Preakness. a stiff run of 1 3-16 miles. will be his fifth race in four weeks.

Labor appeared to have polled a reduced vote following the quietest campaign in 50 years. Despite generally good weather throughout the country. only an estimated '76 per cent of the elec- torate voted compared with more than M per cent in 1951.

The apparently reduced interest on the part of the voters would favor the party in power. Con- servative leaders had maintained that the apparent apathy among the electorate indicated satisfac- tion with conditions under the Tory government.
