SPORTS FRONT

By PIUS CALLAGHAN

BACK IN 1954 when the New York Yankees failed to beat Cleve- land Indians for the American league pennant, bullpen catcher Charley Silvera said it almost broke up his happy home. Charley claimed his wife was so accustomed to getting world series cheques that she figured he was holding out on her when he didn’t produce.

Charley’s quip caused a bit of laughter, although nobody be- lieved that Mrs. Silvera was that poorly posted on the doings of the Yankees in that season.. At any rate, the Silveras and all other Yankee families had less money for the 1955 winter than for quite a few years.

THIS COMING WINTER could be a long and dismal one for Yankee wives. World series cheques don’t appear too promising at

less ball in major league his- tory. Only eight have hurled perfect games and seven of them pit only nine innings.

Southpaw Harvey Haddix of | Pitsburgh Pirates is in both groups.

lies in the phrase “consecutive putouts.” A pitcher, for im stance, could pitch a no-hiter— but not a perfect game—by Is- suing several walks although allowing no hits.

Haddix, although beaten by Milwaukee Braves 2-0 in the 13th inning here last night, strung together 12 innings of perfect baseball. He retired 36 consecutive batters and thus

the present time and there’s a big chance that the Bombers won't share any post-season monies this autumn.

Yankees have said that there’s no place to go but up. With that - statement we agree but we don’t agree that up means clinching the

flag in the junior circuit. Back in 1940 the Yankees hit the bottom. |

’ ‘They were the last Yanks to occupy that unwanted position until | this year’s Stengelites.

The 1940 Yankees didn’t win the flag. They did end up a mere two games behind the Detroit Tigers but that early slump esd them their chance for World series money. Those 1940 Yankees were the best ball team in the league but they could’t make up the slack.

THAT 1940 TEAM had seven all-stars on its lineup. They were Jne Dimaggio, Joe Gordon, Red Rolfe, Charley Keller, Billy Die- | key, Monte Pearson and Red Ruffing. : If this great club couldn’t make up lost ground sufficiently to eop the pennant, then we think the chances of the 1959 Yank are slim indeed. Nobody is scared anymore of the Yankee name. As one sportswriter puts it “The only ball club they now scare is | themselves. Their psychological weapon is gone.”

i i | i '

WE DON’T for a moment think that today’s Yankees have anything like the stars of 1940. We don’t think even the most ardent New York fan will take us to task for that statement. |

Therefore we argue that if the great Yankees of 1940 couldn’t make up the lost ground, neither can the Yankees of 1959. Un- doubtedly some will tell us that the other teams in today’s Amer- fean league aré not as strong as the clubs of 1940. Even if this is true, our argument isn’t hurt too much. These Yankees are now no superstars. They’ve ceased to terrify any club. Even the lowest | of the American league outfits have hed plenty of fun at the | Yankees’ expense.

LET’S SUPPOSE that 95 victories would be sufficient to win the American league pennant. Just keep that figure in mind when you start saying that New York will repeat as champions in 1959.

At this writing, the Yankees have won 14 games 3% starts. That leaves 81 triumphs to garner in their remaining 118 contests. Let’s see what percentage bal] the Bombers would have to play to achieve . this goal. After a bit of arithmetic we find it’s .688. And that’s a ty lot of ball for the Yankees to play the rest of the distance.

When Boston Red Sox came im for that series, the Yankees had a chance to get clear of the cellar. But that went down the drain when Mike Higgins and-his band crushed New York on 7 Tuesday night. :

BALTIMORE ORIOLES are in New York tonight in the first of two games. The second goes tomorrow afternoon. Then Yankees travel to Washington for a twin bill Saturday with the pesky Senators. Sunday the Nationals entertain the Bombers in a single tussle. ; '

Right now, nobody is a soft touch for the Stengelites. This | week'is a rough looking one for the Yankee Stadium tenants. Thev have to vacate the cellar before they star climing.

And getting out of that basement may be a major problem.

AFTER A TERRIFIC BATTLE between Lions and Aces Monday

night, the softball picture took a turn for the worse Tuesday even- # ing when Junior Basilica Youth Club knocked Garrison all over the old diamond in Victoria Park. 4 Juniors certainly did their part to make it a good show. John ; Hughes hurled a brilliant game and those Junior bats were really booming. But the Garrison had exactly nothing to offer, neither in the way of pitching or in the way of hitting. They had zero for effort in both departments. .

Perhaps the Garrison will come through one of these nights with a reasonably good performance. Right now thev have tasted defeats in all their three contests and after Tuesday night you zould hardiy start calling them to win the next time out.

; _., WE WERE DOUBTFUL all along if there was enough material | for five teams. We are even more doubtful now. However we hope that Garrison can dispel our doubts and make this league highly comectitive as far as every team is concerned. : i

Perhaps it fs just a case of being short on practices and after |

ii a few more workouts things will start righting themselves. We sin-

« cerelv hone so for the sfe of the league. i

f But right now Garrison must prove to us that they belong in

i the league. And they better start proving that point in a “hurry.

We are waiting and hoping that Garrison will prove us wrong.

IT’S SURE NICE to see that race ad for Saturday night at : Charlottetown Driving Park. That’s the nicht the curtain rises om the 1959 Harness racing season as far as Prince Edward Island is Fight good looking dashes have been lined up by race secretary ‘Duck’ Acorn and opening night patrons should witness a top notch show. We the second race card will not go votil | Saturday June 6. After that races will be Mondays and Saturdays until July. During uly and August races nights have been fixed for Monday. Wednesday and Saturday. Looks like a busy race season.
