Sawyer Says Phillies Are Still Team To Beat

PI-!.ilLAD'ELPHIA. May 8 - (AP)-Eddie Sawyer. the scholarly tacticlln who directs the fortunes of'ths Philadelphia Phillies. today dismissed his club's losing ways as "just one of those things" and an- nounced firmly that the Phils are still the team to beat in the Nat- ional League.

The Phils have lost four in a row and 10 of their last 15. Nat- ional Lea-gue champions last sea- son. the former "Whiz Kids" have looked more like "Phiz Kids" so far this season.

"But we'll snap out of it," saw- yer observed." Look at the Giants. They lost 11 in a row and now they're playing better than .500 ball."

The one-time college professor can't explain the slump of his bail club. At various times this season. the pitching. fielding End hitting have collapsed-and some- times all together.

"Mostly it's the hitting." Saw-

yer said. "We don't hit, even in batting practice."

Such reliable hitters as Del En- nis. Willie Jones. Granny I-Iamner and Eddie Waitkus have been soft touches for opposing pitchers in the clutch. Only Richie Ash- bum and Dick Sisler have main-

tnlned any consistency at the plate. "It I knew why these men

vaeren't hitting." Sawyer said, a bit sadly. "I could retire as a baseball manager and be a swami. Frank- ly, I'd rather manage a baseball team."

The loss of Curt Simmons to the army deprived the club of a 17- game winner. The inability of Bob Miller, winner of eight in a row as a rookie last season. I-0 88'- opposing hitters out also has hurt.

so have the spotty performances of the club's ace rlghthander. Robin Roberts and the inconsist- ency of relieier Jim Konstanty. most valuable player of the league last season.

NBA Gives Jimmy Carter Recognition

WASHINGTON, May 28 - (AP) - Archie I-Iindman. president of the National Boxing Association, announced today that an N.B. A. world's championship certificate has been forwarded to Jimmy Car- ter.

Carter won the lightweight title last Friday from Ike Williams with a 14th-round technical knockout at New York's Madison Square Garden. There had been some doubt as to whether Carter would get N. B. A. recognition as the champion because he was not con- sidered a worthy contender for the title.

THE GUARDIAN, CHARi.0T'l'ETOWN

MAY 29. 1951

Looking back over the scoring list of the recent Provincial Five- Pin Bowling championships held at the Rollaway, one notes that some of the Island's leading keg- glers came up with some smart bowling during the day-long com-

pe-tiiiions. Dr. L. 1. Duffy was the big-gun on individual scor- irrg for the runner-up Holy Namn team. knocking oi'-f high single with a 390 out of a possible 450. and also chailloing up the second best single with a 310. The bowl- inig dentist also came u-p with a cracker-jack of an average for a 248.7 in a total of 18 games played. Veteran bowler Joey Mac- Donald, who donated both trophies won by Dr. Duffy for high single and high average, was the king pin himself in the high-three division for the Seam-an Bever- ages trophy wtith an 824. an aver- age of 274.6 per game. Earl Smith of Summerside and Dr. Duffy ran him a close second to tie for thr- nunner-up spot. with 318 each. an average of 272.6.

An interesting feature of the competitions was the fact that althourgh the Rollaway All-Stars won the J. Frank McGuigan trophy with 25 wins and only three lwses over the Holy Name squad with 19 wins and him losses, the latter team had the best team average with 216.4 over the All-Stars 214.6. The champion- shi-p trophy. 'WlltlCll is donated for annual com-petition, however, is awarded on a games won and lost basis. The nunner-up team also had a total pin-fall of 22,723, a dif- ference of 1911 plus over the win. ning Rol-lway bowlers. Any team that can win 26 matches out of a total of as played, as the All- Stars did. deserves to be called the Island champions. There is no disputing that. D

The former Maritime mid- clleweight. title holder apparently doesn't like the way the local boxer has pushed htim to the limit in their last two meetings and took the title from him in the 1353 0115 by I Sltlit-decision. Ac- cording to recent communications between him and promoter Bill Brown he is out to "stop" Mc- Closkey this time and force the issue to a title scrap in the near future. The title is not on the line for the J-une go, because neither scrapper expects to be able to trim down to the required 160 pound weight limit.

VVhite Sox Welcomed After Successful Trip

CHICAGO. May 28 - (AP) - Chicago White Sox thundered home today on the wings of their greatest. road performance in Am- erican League history to a whoop- ing welcome by'i'ans parched by a 32-year Pale Hose pennant thirst.

The club was accorded a hero's welcome, replete with a glad-hand by the Mayor who proclaimed it "White Sox Day" and told mana- ger Paul Richards "All Chicago is very proud" of the team's 11- straight victory sweep through five eastern cities.

More thnn 1.000 fans cheered in the La Salle Street station as the Sox stalwarts detrained. Thous- ands more applauded as a police escort roared them across the loop to the City Hall.

one little girl waved a sign pro- claiming "Whlte Sox opponents never die, they just fade away." Perhaps the loudest salvo of ap- plause was directed at shortstop Chico Carrasquel. After visiting the Mayor's office, the brilliant fielding star from Caracas. Ven- czuela, had an injured shoulder X-raycd at Mercy Hospital.

The examination disclosed Car- rasquel suffered no bone damage as feared when he collided Sunday with team-mate Ed Stewart chas- ing a pop fly at Cleveland. It was expected the bruised shoulder will be mended in time for Wednes- day's double-header against St Louis Browns.

Richards attributed the 11-game victory tour which has the Sox snorting just one game behind the leading New York Yankees to "quite a few guys doing quite ll few things."

"I've got to admit they've sur- prised me. but I didn't know most of them. Didn't know what. they could do."

But Richards probably hit the nail on the head with this crack before Carrasquel had his injury examined:

"If Chico can't play, let's call 'em all off."

Ferris Fain Slumps But Still Tops A. L

CHICAGO. May 28 - (AP) - Ferris Fain. Philadelphia first- baseman, slumped seven points last week but his .388 mark topped American League batters through Sunday's games.

Nelson Fox. tiny Chicago White Sox second-baseman. zoomed into the runner-up spot with a 22- point climb from seventh place to .362. Fox rattled 13 hits in 30 tries during the triumphant White Sox march through the east.

Boston's Ted Williams led in homers with 10, took over the R.B.I. pace at 37 and tied with Dom DiMaggio and Minoso in most runs at 32.

DiMaggio became the leader in hits at 50, while Fain retained the two-bagger lead with 14. Conn and Minoso shared top triple pro- duction at five. Busby kept ahead in stolen bases with 10.

The top pitcher continued to be New York's undefeated Eddie Lo- pat, adding another victory for an 8-0 record. Boston's Maurice Mc- Dermott moved into a tie with Vic Raschi of New York for the strike-out lead at 41.
