[itching duel yesterday (Tuesday) ll 8t. Louis Browns defeated De- lrott Tigers 4-3 at the motor city. file victory mapped the Brownies’ flven-game American League los- hg streak.

For the second time this season Vern Stephens drove in five runs in a single game as he walioped two home runs to lead Boston Red so: to a 10-6 victory at the New England hub over Philadelphia Ath- lstics.

Bob Dillinger and Paul Lehnsr Qt three hits apiece off Newhouser who gave up only nine hits while losing his first game after t\vo previous victories.

The game was tied 3-ali at the end of four innings. From that pointon, bcth Drews and New- houser were stingy with base hits and a string of scoreless innings followed.

Dillinger got things under way

In the top of the 12th when he led -

off with a single and moved to sec- ond on Eddie Peliagrinfs sacrifice. Lehner then singled. scoring Dil- linger with what proved to be the winning run.

A ball pitched by Orval Grove in the seventh inning struck Tribe manager Lou Boudreau on the left elbow and eventually forced his rc- flrement.

Mickey Vernon, new Tribe first ncker, smashed his first round- tripper of the season with Joe Gor- don aboard in the first. Ken Keit- sier clouted his second with two on in a four-run seventh inning. Jim Hegan accounted for three runs in the sixth when he doubled with the bases full.

OITAIWIA. April 2i — (W) -- Rlsgtns Caps blew into the capital today, worked out the kinks of a two-day train ride in s. quick prac- tios seadon, and then let 1t be Jmown that they don't like the fldea of playing all games of the .Ailan (mp playoffs on Ottawa ice.

Cliff lihrle, mlnageg and oo- owner o! the Western senior hoc- key champions, said hs thought at least t/wo games of the beet-of- seven series with Ottawa Senators should b, played in either ‘Ibr- onto or Montreal. '

However, Ottawa. officials didn't care for the ides. as evidenced by their rejection s couple of days ago of a. similar suggestion made by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association.

"We don't see why there shouldn't be uwo games in either Toronto or Montreal," he said. "Just because Ottawa won the Easrrn finals that doesn't seem to be any rea- son why Lhey should be given the right to tell us where we're coins to play the series."

His suggestion was that siter the opening two games at the Ot- tawa Auditorium the next two should be played outside the cep- ital, then to wind up the series back in Ottawa.

A quiet confidence seemed to be the feeling around the Caps and while mach Art Somers wouldn't. make any prediction on the ser- les, manager Ehrle didn't hesitate to say the series wasn't likely to go the full seven games.

Coach Scmers said the team is in fair shape. Joe Fisher is out with a broken wrist and that high- scoring oldtimer, Sweeney Schrin- er. has a sore ankle but it's ex- pected to hold out for the series with the aid of some tape. Schrirter was out with his mates at a noon practice and didn't have any trouble with the ailing ankle. somers said the workout today would be the last one before the series gets under ‘way Thursday night. .

"Kid" welterweight champion, fresh from his sensational K.O. victory over

Harry Poulton, Island

Red Graham in the semi-final bout on the Paris-Richard card at Halifax a lew weeks ago, will leave for the Nova Scotia Capital on Friday where he will meet Frankie Garnicr in. the semi-final attraction of the George Ross- Pete Zaduk Canadian champion- shirp contest at the Halifax Forum on Saturday night. ' . . e

Garnier, veteran Halifax welter- weight, who has several Army titles to his credit while serving overseas with the Canadian Army. has only recently come out. of re- tirement, but has been moving rapidly along the fistic come-back trail, and recently added a T.K.O. victory over Harold Schultz of Dartmouth, to his successes. Garnier a slugger. according to those who know him. and this is borne out by the tact that he fractured Schultz's jaw in their last fight, sndds the kind of fighter who is willing to take three punches to land one. O O .

Poulton, however, seems unper- turbed about the fight, despite the fact that he lost. s. decision to Shultz. whom his next opponent T.K.0.'d by fracturing his jaw. And well he might be, as Poulton has been receiving high praise by Mainland sport scribes in his recent appearances there, and is heralded by them as "s. clever, hard-hitting fighter and one of the smartest boxers developed in the Maritime: in ‘recfniz’ years."

There ls no doubt that Garnier will be s. tough opponent for the local fighter, but knowing Pouiton from his tnsny performances in the local ring, and he has put plenty on the ball since he was seen here last, this column will ride with him 100 per cenhon the Saturday scrap to come through with a victory. He has plenty of punch and smart style to go with it, and as one Mainland writer de-

u'l1en he is huri."

I I C Still on the subject of boxing, it. was learned yesterday that the local Forum management is pian- nlng some bouts for this summer. Although the plans are still in the embryo stage, Clair Archer, who has been managing the Forum during his father's illness, stated yesterday that they hoped to get things roiling soon. ' . o

Mr. C. F. Archer, who is better known here by local sports follow- ers as “Chariie," has been having a long siege in hospital for the past few months, but is now con- velescing and coming along fine and expects to be out and around again soon, which is good news to hear and this column wishes hlrn an even speedier recovery, if possible.

Just how soon the boxing at the Forum will get underway de- pends on how soon Mr. Archer will be back in harness again to get his promotion wagon rolling, but it 1s understood that the pro- spects look good for some smart bouts by local and outside talent.

At the end of a long hockey pull, Regina Capitals meet Ottawa Senators tonight in the first game of the Allan Cup final. Leading up to the senior champion- ship series, the star-studded Caps had little apparent difficulty ex- cept for one teem, Fort Frances Canadians. I I U Regina knocked out onton Flyers, last year's Allan Cup win- ners, without losing s game but the practically unlznown Canadians extended them to the full five games.

"In the first place. they're a whale of a hockey team, playing the game much closer to the European conception than the clubs from the high-powered lee- gues. In the second piece, the Canadians are a sort of com- munity effort in s town of 7,000," Seotty concludes.

On his arrival with the club. Gus Ogilvie, general _ of the Montreal organisation, said fans who had seen both clubs in action were lsyin! S-to-l odds in Montreal in favor of Royals. Coach Miller says "It will have to be a tough club that bests us."

Royals for his third sel- son. will be able to renew acquain- tances with coach Bill MscKenaie of Brandon. The two played against each other in 1W1, while MacKenzie was with the Eirnrwood Millionaires when they defeated Ottawa Primrosea in the Memo;- iai Cup final.

The series moves to Brandon for games Saturday and Tuesday, then back to. Winnipeg next ‘Ihursday. Since they knocked off Calgary
