-Cleveland Loses Tough Game To Boston. 15-14

I! NTIVE BDBERTSON Canadian Press Stat! Writer

Lou Baud:-eau. a self-described "peaaimlat all ", inailtl that his Cleveland Indians will win the "American League pennant.

"Now I feel conddent." the Cleveland manager declared at Boston yesterday. ”We're going to lose our share of games. but at the and of the season we'll be on top." '

Whueupon Lou's Indians went out: and lost I tough game to Bos- ton's suddenly spirited Red Sox who for the second e in two days refused to roll 0 er and play dead for Cleveland. mt Red Sox overcame a 12-2 Indian lead for a ntormy 15-I4 victory before 28,828 fans.

The Sox pulled themselves with- in three games of the leading De- troit Tigers. whipped 4-3 in Phila- delphia. The Tigers ,have a one- game edge over New York Yank- ees, also beaten today. and a two- game margin over the Indians.

Before the roof fell in on the Indians, Boudreau for the benefit of newspaper men listed three main reasons for his confidence that Cleveland will win the pen- nant:

l. The players: "In all my I years as manager we've never had such a fine group."

2. Individual performance: "Our pitching is excellent and I see signs of our hitting re-

, turning."

3. The opposition: ”None of "the other leaders seem to have an abundance of hi-Hing."

Boudrcau has been chary about his forecasts this season. But in 194-8, when the Indians were 4'-'. games behind in September, he predicted a pennant. He was right.

But in yesterday's game. Bob Lemon appeared headed for his Elsi. victory wi-th little trouble. The Indians had accumulated I0 runsin the first three innings and got another pair in the fourth. That was when the Sox came to life.

They scored eight times in their half of the fourth. got two more in the sixth and four more in the eighth. What proved to be the winning margin was Al Zarilla's seventh homer of the season. sock- ed well into the riglhvt-field stands. -In other American League games. Ray Scarborough. Chicago White Sox ace. kept the Yankees from a virtual tie in the League race by stopping New York 6-4 on six I-lilr. This came an the Tigers were absorbing their second straight aetback, 4-3, at the hands of Phila- delphia Athletics. The victim was Hal Newhouser. prince of the De- lzoiat: mound corps.

In view of the keen intedest that has been displayed among tennis enthusiasts during the holding of the Provincial and other club tournaments this season as well as the ones that are in progress now. there is a strong trend towards seeing the open style competit- ions being brought back to this Province next season.

O U I.

The point was brought out by local officials last Saturday during the prize presentation ceremony at the Charlottetown Te-nnis Club at the conclusion of the Provincial Closed Tournament play held there. Making the presentations, Club President J. E. Wran refer- red lo the possibility during his remarks. and the suggestion was received with much general favor by attending enthusiasts.

With the new clubhouse for the City club well on its way to com- pletion, avrld four of the six courts in finer shape than they have been since before the war. it is felt that with these improved facilities, the Clubpwill be in a position to ex- tend an invitation to other Mari- iime Clubs to come and compete in Island Open play next season. U 0 I

Although there'hasn't been an open tourney held here for some three or more years, the Char- lottetown Club has an age-old reputation for organizing and holding successful tourneys of that nature during its history of some three-quarters of a century of activities. It is the present view. tha-t through the co-operation of the other clubs in the City and Province, that the days of such tourneys are far from over here. and with a combined effort, should see activity renewed here again nextiseason. . . - "It: makes a difference. believe it er not, how a. fielder enters a dug- out after he catches a foul fly ball." states Billy Evans. "There is a def- inite line of demarcation between gently stepping into the dugout af- ter a catch and falling into it with a thud. C O O "In the good old days of long away" continues Evans. "it. was far from safe for a. player of the de- fensive side to get. too close to a dug- out. His approach to the dugout of the opposition always brought a verbal barrage designed to thor- oughly upsel: the player. It was not unusual to move the bats about so that they might interfere with the making of the catch. Incidentally, after making the catch. the player occupants of the dugout didn't pol- itely help him out of his embarras- ment. after he had joined them in the dugout. As a rule he was jost- led about considerably in his effort to return to the playing field. Fort- unately those days are no more. D O 0

"It is in accepted truth in base- ball that it is best for the game to keep the ball in play whenever and ,wherever possible. This theory has been carefully followed by the inter- pretation of this rule. If the fielder or any defensive player should fall into the stand, or fall down in the dugout. after making the catch. the ball is Iead. and runners may ad- vance one base without liability to be put out. If a player steps into the. dugout and makes the catch. the ball is alive and in play and runner: may advance at their own peril.

O O O

"This interpretation protects. as it should, the fielder in every possible way. Also it removes any premix-In on rough play in the dugout. The proper procedure is definitely de- fined. If the player falls into the dugout and is thereby so handl- capped that he cannot make a play on the ball. the minimum penalty is enforced-the ball becomes dead and each runner is entitled to ad- vance one base without liability to be put out..

Three. World Track Records Raiified

BR-USSELS. Aug. 28 --(Reuters) -Three world track records were

ratified by the Congress of the International Amateur Athletic Federation Saturday.

They are:

200-metre hurdles-22.3 seconds

by Harrison Dillard of the United States, act June 21. 1947. 220-yard hurdles-22.3 seconds by Dillard, set June 21, 1947. - 10.000-lnet.res- 29 minutes, 26 seconds by Emil Zatopelr of Czechoslovakia. set Aug. 4, 1950.

"Naturally. umpires like such an interpretation because it specifically defines the possibilities of the play, all centered on the manner. in which the fielder becomes a. part of the dugout scene. Nothing is left to the imagination or observation of the umpire. If the player falls down,t.he ballls dead and all run- l'leI'fi advance one base. If the flelder steps in, the ball remains in play and runners advance at their own risk. Thus. there are two differ- ent decisions on what may seem like the some play to the spectator, each hlnglng on the manner in which the player making the cstxh enters the dugout." Evans concludes by saying. "It would seem much bet- ter to step in rather than fall down in the dugout from the. f ndpolnt of the defensive side."

Takes Ominous View Of Aussie Victory

PARIS, Aug. 28 -(AP) -- Th." newspaper combat took an omin- ous view today of Australia's Davis Cup tennis victory over the United. Stams. The paper noted that Australia also took the cup "ll.

1914 and 1939, both tragic years."

. - I

focal fans should see aoma top- notch ball, at lleunorial Plaid thla evening when the Victoria: and Kinsman "open their semi-final playoff aarlea in City Junior Base- ball League competition. commenc- ing at 5:16. i

Second and third place winners of the ' schedule respectively. the Vice and Kinsmen have been playing a close brand of ball all season with the schedule winning Knight: of Columbus nine. with the Vics and Knights having to play an extra game to decide the first place posltlo , the final result showing only a hree-game gap separating the first and third place squads.

Although the Vice are the slight- ly favored crew to take the best of three game series, as the result of their showing in league play this season. there is not that much dif- ference between the two squads to make it an easy touch. and every- one is expecting it to be a. battle right to the final out of the series. .
