Roy Sievers must take most of the credit for the Yankee losses. His tremendous hitting, three homers for seven runs, gained him a tie for Washington's all- time home run crown.

Sievens major league total is now 162. He hit 35 for the now defunct St. Louis Browns.
Ken Aspromonte and Sievers both hit three—run homers in the first game's eighth i-nnling.
In the National League, Joe Cunningham and Ken Boyer led the Cards to their double win. Cunningham drove in three runs in each contest and Boyer hit a pair of two-run homers in the sec- ond game.

The fourth-(place Cubs won the first game 3-2 with three runs in the ninth. .
In the only ‘single game carded in both leagues, Cincinnati Reds took an easy 10-1 win from Phila- delphia, clubbing Curt Simmons and two relievers for two triples, two doubles and a homer in the first three innings.
Steve Bilko hit the homer, his third of the season.

A group of visiting Canadian sports writers recorded some of Pat 0’Connor’s last thoughts on safety before he was killed Fri- day in the 500-mile Indianapolis speedway race.
Veteran driver O’Connor, 30, was killed in a grinding 15-car smash at the start of the annual race. '
Four Canadian sports editors chatted with him in a garage at Indianapolis Thursday.
(Maurice Smith, sports editor of the Winnipeg Free Press, in his column Friday quoted O’Connor:
“Sure I know there's a risk when I go out there, but if I didn’t have confidence in myself then I‘-d be sitting up in _the stands tomorrow just like you.” SAFETY IS PASSWORD Tom (Scotty) Melville, sports

The opponents of the Chavez Ravine deal with Los Angeles- and there are some-have flared angrily at the ultimatum of National League president Warren Giles. The boss of the senior loop said that the Dodgers would be moved to another city unless the voters approved the stadium site.
The statement of Giles really got the Irish up in Councilman Patrick McGee who called the Giles threat “an insult to the in- tclligence of the people of Los Angeles”. Burt MlcGee didn’t end there. He went on, gaining momentum by the minute. "If that is the type of what this city and our people can expect from the National League, I for one don’t want them at all."
Another blast came from the councilman that cast the deci- sive vote which approved the Chavez Ravine contract, then later changed his mind. He kept pace with McGee by uttering these bold remarks. “Giles’s statement is a new low in base 11. It is slanderous to baseball and to this city. It has and will do a lot of harm to the people out here. I have never opposed the Dodgers, but do oppose the contract. If this is the kind of statement we can expect from the National League, than the Dodgers can go home."
Then the alderman who led the fight to submit the contract to
. the voters, termed the Giles statement “the last threat of a
frightened group of greedy men.”
However Mayor Poulson agrees with the league president claiming that Giles lays it strictly onthe line. The city’s chief’ magistrate adds: “Los Angeles would be the laughing stock of the nation if we went back on our word. We have a very, very good proposition, better than San Francisco because it‘s a free enterprise situation.”
The Dodgers top man, Walter O'Malley is extremely careful with his words. 0’Malley merely says: “The Dodgers want to stay out of politics and we wish politics were not involved with baseball at this time. ‘We have our hands full now with many problems, on and off the field. This presents still another."
Well next Tuesday wll settle the arguments.-'I‘hat’s referendum day‘ \ an at no 0-_ -
Carl Willey, sent down by the Braves May 14, pitched the first no-hitter of the American Association season last week as Wichita trimmed Louisville 6-0. ‘
Willey faced only 28 men, struck out 10 and walked only two. One the men who was walked was cut down on a double play.
Willey was voted the associations most valuable player last year when he won 21 games to lead Wichita to the pennant.
He'll be back up soon.

Lew Burdette is not only quite a pitcher but he’s a mighty honest fellow. — . r The other night after he beat the front running San Francisco Giants he was asked by reporters to explain his success. He didn’t hesitate a minute: - . “Some guys try to explain why they‘ win or lose, hit or don't hit,” Lew drawled. “I can’t do it. So many. things can happen. Luck plays such a big part. A good pitch gets knocked out of the park. A bad one starts a double play.” All of which sounds‘ mighty logical. t it
The other afternoon when Chicago White Sox beat Baltimore Orioles 5-1 at Chicago’s Comiskey Park. only 632 people were present to see the Pale Hose quit the American League cellar.
White Sox would do better as far as attendance is concerned if they were playing their home games ‘in Prince Edward Island’: Kings County.
Down in King’s they can really attract the cash customers and have gone well over the’ 2000 mark on several occasions.
Los Angeles fans have nothing on them.

The path of two outfielders cmossed last week at Milwaukee‘: County Stadium.
One was Bob Hazle who was taking the sad route from a place he didn‘t want to leave. The other was Billy Brruton coming back to a position he sorely missed for 317 days. Hazle was sold to the Detroit Tigers, Bruton was returning to the Braves’ outfield for the first time since July 11, 1957. That was the day he collided with ‘Felix Mantilla while chasing a fly ball, seriously injuring his right knee. Two operations and exercise after exercise fol- lowed the injury.
For Hazle it was an embarrassing situation, bothfor himself and the boys who wished him well. It was tough for Bob that the trade brought to a close a trags to niches story that had a whole lot to do with Milwaukee winning the pennant in 1957.
The young manfrom South Carolina had performed brilliantly for the ‘Braves, batting .403 during the crucial stages of last year’s race. ’lh1s season he was beaned twice and his average dipped to .179 ll’! 20 games.

Sport Writers Record Some Last Words Of Race Driver
quoted O’Connor as saying:" “Safety is the password to the Indianapolis track.
“There's good co - operation among the drivers. They are all aware of the danger involved. We try to help each other out . . . we respect each other . . . we have built up a code of ethics second to none. It has to be that way or none of us would sur- vive."
O’Connor told Jack Richards, sports editor of the Vancouver Sun:
“The fellows here are sensible and they have a very fine busi- ness acumen. And there’s more sportsmanship here than in any other sport. All the drivers work for safety. . ."
Jim Vipond, sports editor of the Toronto Globe and Mail, quoted O’Connor in his Friday column:
“-I met my wife after I started racing. 1 know she worries but she understands and never .asks‘ any questions. She trusts my driving ability. We have a fam- ily and she knows I’m not going to take unnecessary risks.”

BACK STRETCH
SUMMER TRACK
The Summerside t rr-a c k , stables, grandstand and fences are being given a good going over, repairs being made where necessary, and everything is being put in shape for a success- ful summer season's racing. As it has been as long as the writer can remember, the first day of July will be Summerside’s day.
The new officials are: Heath Warren, president; Claude Hark- ness, race secretary; and James Connell, secretary - trasurer. These energetic persons are securing a license from the United States Trotting Associa- tion, and are making arrange- ments for officials, and will later announce the classes to be raced on Dominion Day.
Our earliest recollection of the Summerside track was in the afternoon of August, 1886, when I, with other schoolboys and a large number of the horsemen of Souris and surrounding areas, gathered at Souris station where stationmaster Harry Bownell was receiving telegrams from Harry Grady of Summerside, giving the results of the match r-ace be- tween the locally-bred stallion “Black Pilot” and the imported standardbred stallion “He;-. _nando”. Black Pilot was owned by the Dockendoirff brothers of North River and was a son of the imported stallion “Allright”. Hernando was a standardbred stallion brought in by a Mr, Henry MacLeod of Summerside.
Black Pilot was driven by Billy Earle and Hernando by P. S. Brown. The race ‘mack and grounds were packed with peo- ple. Hernando won a- heat, but Black Pilot won the race and took a record of 2.30 1-4, which was the fastest mile ever trotted in this province up to that date. They both raced to the old high-wheeled ’sulky and were shod much more heavily than the trotters of today, a-nd the track would be at least four seconds slower than it is now.
It is estimated that some 4,000 people were crowed into the grounds; anyhow, it was the largest gathering ever assembl- ed in Prince Counrty up to that time.
FAULT CURED
We were shown an enlarged photograph of the pacer “Edgar- ton”, 2.15 1-2, that was the top dash winner of this province in 1922, ‘being first to the wire on 18 occasions, and in addition,

In these days of faster tracks, he would have paced in 2.10 quite easily.
NEW ARRIVALS
The very unseasonable wea- ther made it necessary to call- off races in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick earlier in the week. We notice that at Saint John Exhibitation Park, a new arrival, Bold Venture 2.05 4-5, that was raced last year in the stable of Charles Price, Pleasant- ville, New Jersey’, was to be a starter. His racing career has been very creditable, and his earnings at the end of 1957 were $16,220 which made him eligible to a 2.14 Class.
Bold Venture was to be driven by Don Ma-.cNeil of Summerside, who is certainly well qualified to drive him. He will be up against Watson’s Star, 2.08, that last year had 12 firs-ts, one sec- ond and ten thirds with total winnings to the end of 1957 of $18,752.
Another newcomer that will be racing in the same class is Sturdy Jimmy, p, 2.03, that won in 2.06 at Vernon Downs last September.
HYDRAULIC GATE
Jimmy Ferguson, who is one of the men most responsible for harness horse activities in Syd- ney, C. B., and who is secretary of the Cape Breton Turf Club, is having a new hydraulic starting gate constructed, which he expects to be in operation on the night of June 9.
The new gate will have six screens, and the horses will go into their individual screens at 8 Point about 300 yards from the wire. The gate will move down the track at the rate of about 15 m.-p.h., gradually in- creasing speed until it hits the wire.
This type of starting gate would be an excellent thing to have at our track, and also other tracks in the Maritimes. And no doubt they will take a lesson from Cape Breton and install the necessary innovations. It is very unfair to the horses in No. 1 and No. 2 positions to get «into position at the gate when it turns for the last 220 yards from ‘the wire. and then have it kept
