(By Steve loborhon. Canadian Press Staff Writer)

New York Giants appear to save snapped out of the early- ieason tailspin during which they ran up a string of 11 straight losses.

They came up Wednesday with ,mother big inning-their third in lhree days-and walloped Chicago Cubs 8-1 in a National League some at New York.

A six-run spree in the seventh was icing on the cake to rookie righthander George Spencer who held the Cubs to six hits. It was his first start of the season.

The fast-stepping Cleveland Ind- 'ians continued their winning ways. edging Boston Red sox 4-3 to take undisputed possession of first place in the American League for a few .hours. It was the Indians second ,victory in a row over the Red Sox.

Louis. sandy .Consuegm. who faced the minimum of 21 men in seven innings. pitched a. home-run ball to Ray Coleman in the eighth to spoil his shutout. But -it was still an easy victory for the Senators.

The National League race tightened considerably in Wednes- day's play as three of the top four clubs were defeated while the teams in seventh and eighth place won.

Warren Spahn pitched Boston Braves into the senior circuit 'Icad. blanking the dethroned St. Louis Cardinals 5-0 at Boston. Pittsburgh advanced two notches into third place, by knocking off Brooklyn Dodgers 4-3 at Brooklyn llor the second straight day. Sev- enth-place Cincinnati dropped Philadelphia Phils into a fourth- ;place tie with Brooklyn. defeat- ing the Phils 64 at Philadelphia.

New York Yankees kept on the heels of the pace-setting Indians, coming from behind to nip Chi- cago White Sox 6-4 at Chicago. Detroit yielded a run in Phil- adelphia's half of the 10th inning -but came back with two to van- yiuish the Athletics 54 at Detroit. '.

Barrie flyers In 5-1 Win Over Winnipeg

. May 2 -(OP) - Barrie Flyers completely outclass- ed Winnipeg Monarchs in every department tonight for a 5-1 win in the first game of the best-of- seven Memorial Cup final.

With the present condition of open air sporting facilities pre- seniing a good possibility of the

local baseball season making an earlier opening than usual, there seems to be little activity on the baseball from to indicate that local enthusiasts are going to keep pace with the weather in getting their plans finalized to make such an early seasonal start possible. There seems to be little or no talk among local ball circles as to what they plan in the way of competition this year. With a Iii- tie scratching of the surface, how- ever, one finds that the interest is there all night, but is needing sl little push and organized planning to get things rolling. O I O

Digging around yesterday, in an effort to gather together a little pre-season inrformation as to what fans can expect to see in the way of competition this summer, the general trend appears to be "a "back to the City League" set-up again after two seasons of an or- ganized Island League. At least that is the present view of some observers here as far as the inter- mediate group Ls concerned, but even they admit it is only a pre- sent plan that will not be worked out until an organized meeting is held to get a. full reaction from all factors involved.

0 O O

The general feeling seems to be that both Charlottetown and Sum- merside are pla.n-ninag on develop- ing their own city leagues rather than hooking up in an Island schedule, with the winning teams meeting later in the summer for Provincial honors. The present plan being fostered is to operate both junior and intermediate City leagues and come about .luly.pick an all-star team in both divisions to continue on as the district representaztives in both Provincial and outside playoff competition in their respective groups.

. O O 0

As one observer stated yesterday. however, "Anything can come of it yet and we really won't know what the local set-up will be until a gen- eral meeting is held to discuss the matter." He also said that there was a good chance of holding such a sometime early next week to get the interest of the sport roll- ing and lay plans for forthcoming activities. Well, that is a. start in the right direction, and as every- body knows from past experience in ball circles here, that is all that is needed to rouse local enthusiasm that will carry on from there and get things done in a hurry.

DETROIT. May 3-(AP) -Joe Louis tip-toecl into the ring and won a unanimous 10-round decis- ion over lanky Omelio A-gramonte of Culba tonight. It was the fifth win in Joe's come-back drive.

The Brown Bomber switched from his traditional shuffle, and bored in on Agramonte to floor the dark Cuban for a nine count in the second round. It was the- first time Joe had knocked down a foe in his comeback.

However, Louisp holding nearly a 20-pound edge. couldn't finish him off. In the ninth Louis bat- tered A-gara-nionie and left him dazed. But Joe couldn't land the one punch needed. '

The 36-year-old Louis. who ruled the heavyweight world from l.Kl'l to 1949, hopes to tackle Lee Savold of Paterson. NJ. next and then battle champion Ezzard Charles in September.

Joe Louis Wins 10-Round Decision Over Agramonte

than he had in the last year to win the lop-sided decision.

Referee Lew Handler gave Agramonte only the seventh round and called the linh even. Judge Joe Lenahan called the fifth and seventh even and gave Agrarnonte the 10th. Judge Jack Asperry gave the seventh to Agramonte.

Here's the way they scored the fight on points: Handler, 57 to 43 for Louis; Lenahan 57-43; Asperry 59-41.

For the second time this year Agramonte lasted 10 rounds with Louis by back-pedailing and tying up Louis. He occasionally speared Louis with a wicked right and constantly jubbed Louls' face with his left hand until Joe's nose bled.

But Joe's block-busting right, not as powerful as in his prime but more improved than in any of his comeback fights. smashed open a cut over 0melio's left eye.

The crowd of 7.004. which brought a gross gate of s21,66B, saw Joe fight furiously in the

ninth and slow down in the 10th.

Saturday's Derby Winner May Get Biggest Purse

By Gayle Talbot

LOUISVILLE. Ky., May 2 - (AP)-A thorough search of the stable area at Churchill Downs today failed to uncover a trainer who doesn't intend to start his horse in Saturday's Kentucky Derby. and who doesn't think he can win.

The oldest old-timer around the Downs cannot recall qliite a. par- allel case. where nobody is much scared of anybody else in the field and where any one of a. dozen colts is considered capable of tak- ing first prize.

And speaking of preparation:, the work at the Charlottetown Forum is also going ahead by leaps and bounds. It may be a long time until hockey season rolls around again, but Forum officials are go- ing to prepared for it. A great deal of the steel structure has already been painted in the luminous Day- light Yellow that will brighten the whole inside super structure of the building, while carpenters have al- ready begun installing the new seats that will extend down to the boards.

The winner almost certainly will pocket the biggest purse in Derby history. If 19 start the pay- off will be a cool 897,060, which probably explains the reluctance of the trainers and owners to scratch any sound animal. The present record is the 396,400 won by Assault in 1946. when 17 ran.

Most rival trainers were not too impressed with Fanfare's victory in the Derby trial. They conceded that Ben Jones' colt ran the mile as though he owned it. But they seemed to think Battle Morn. which came up blazing from dead last to finish a fast-closing fourth. probably would have caught him in another eighth.

The dull game was featured by 10-minute isoonduct penalties to Jim Orlando and Pllll CGIINGIU as they were sitting on the Valley- nem bench. Apparently they made sonieremarkstoreferee Btan Pratt or Ottawa as he skated put dur- ing third-period play.

A small crowd of 1.961 W15 18"- wide open spaces in Movie 1&3! Gardens which seats almost 14.- mo persons. It was the smallest crowd the Quebec champion have played before this season but it was a little better than average for the Irish in Toronto this season.

Third game of the best-of-seven series will be played in Toronto Saturday night. St. MIkes' victory decided the fourth game which now will be held in Toronto Mon- day. It would halve been in Mon- treal hsd Valleyfield won.

Toronto scorers were Ken Wat-

Bill MoCrM;ken. Jack Schmidt got the Valleyhdd counter.

Best man on the ice was goalie Phil Hughes. of St. Mikes. The six-foot, three-inch netminder stopped only 12 shots but a half dozen of them were labelled until the lalrehead product got in the way. At the other end. Paul De- clerc made 18 stops.

Except for the neuninding, play was close checking except for brief flurries in the second period and the 1'! penalties in addition to the two misconducts slowed play.
