By The Canadian Press

Detroit ‘Tigers’ sensational rook- ie, Johnny Groth, hit his second grand-slam homer of the American League season yesterday (Thurs- day) although St. Louis Browns took the Tigers into camp 9-6.

In the other two scheduled gam- es, Ted Williams made it a perfect day at the plate, belting his first 1949 homer as Boston Red Sox swept Philadelphia Athletics 12-5.

New York Yankees defeated Washington Senators 5-2 with Lefty Ed Lopat chalking up his third straight victory.

Groth continued his impressive hitting streak as he got two for four today and batted in five of Detroit's runs.

However, the Brownies pounded four Detroit pitchers for 15 hits and a sweep of the two-game series. Jack Graham of the Brownies slammed out his, fourth homer of the season to stay even with Groth in that department.

Groth’s blast cleaned the base: in the third inning.

The lanky Williams had a single and three walks besides his homer while driving in five runs.

Williams’ homer, off relief pitch- er Jim Wilson with two on in the fifth, cairne after first baseman Ferris Fain and catcher Joe Astroth let his easy foul pop drop between them.

Lefty Mickey Harris, making his first start for the Red Sox, had a three-hitter until the seventh inning, l-le wound up allowing the Athletics 1i hits.

Harris, however, had an easy task turning his first victory.

Rookie! Dick Kryhoski and Gene Woodling led the Yankee attack. Kryhoski collected three hits in- cluding a triple and drove in a pair of runs. Woodling hit a single and threelbagger.

T'he Yankees practically sewed up the game in the first inning when they made -three runs off Rae Scarborough, the starter and loser.

llurocher In Flare-up At Baseball Game

NEW YORK, April 28 - (AP) -- Leo Durocher, manager of New York Giants was accuse‘ tonight of "kicking and scuffing" a fan in a flareup that followed the Giants-Brooklyn baseball game at the Polo Grounds.

Fred Boysen, 22, oi Brooklyn, a Puerto Rtcan, who was admitted to a hospital for treatment for abdominal bruises, told police he was "kicked" by the Giants manag- er. '

Durocher acknowledged at a. routine press conference after the game that there had been an altercation but he said it wasn't serious.

"Nothing happened," he said. "Somebody tried to take my cap as I stepped out of the dugout. I shoved him, grabbed my cap back and that was all there was to it.”

Samuel S. Reinish, who identifi- ed himself as Boysen's lawyer, told a reporter Durocher attacked the youth as Boyson crossed the field in search of Jackie Robinson, Brooklyn's second baseman.

“Boysen had been riding Leo during the game," Reinish said. "He went out on the ileld after the game, chasing Robinson, one of his heroes. Leo came after him, knocked him down, and gave him a scuffing."

The lawyer said he planned to file charges oi assault and battery against the manager. ,

The incident took place as the teams left the field for the dress- ing room after the wild game, won by the Dodgers, 15-2.

At the hospital, Boysen gave this account to reporters:

"I razzed him during the game. After the game my cousin and I went on the field. We were paling first base. On our -way over to talk to Jackie Robinson, Duroober came up behind mo.

"Ho grabbed me and punched me.A:Itried togetup-Iwas

— he kicked me in the stomach. I didn't try tn bitshlm.”

Although only two teams have definitely signified their intention 0i part- icipatlngdn the Maritime 100p. namely Charlottetown Abegweits and Amherst Ramblers, St. Jos- eph, Springhill and Summer-aide will also be represented at the meeting, where it is felt they will hand down their final decisions concerning their entry into the league.

Although the organization meet- lng will only be canted out in the event that three or more definite entries are received, officials seem reasonably assured that they W111 have the required number to carry on, as all three of the undecided representatives showed a keen in- terest in entering the league at their first meeting at Amherst last Saturday. Since that time, Sum- merside have given a strong in- dicatlon of their intention of en- iering the loop, at a baseball meet- ing held at the Western Capllfll this week, and there have been n0 definite refusals by /St. Josef!!! and Springhlil, who have express- ed their intention of attending the forthcoming meeting, which SW05 a fair indication that they are still in favor of the move.

Ottawa Senators Win. 6-4 From Regina -In Allan Cup Opener .

/

OTTAWA, April 28 - (C?) ~ Staving o a last period rally, Ottawa Se tors scored a. 8-4 vic- tory over Regina Caps here to- night in the first game of the best-oi-seven series for the Allan Cup.

The gune witnessed by 7.730 fans had everything from some terrific body-checking to dipsy- doodle passing and wound up with a heated scene around the pen- alty bench which saw veteran Sweeney Schriner of the Caps dra/w a 10-minute misconduct penalty for protesting too loudly about the last Ottawa goal, scored when Caps removed their goalie. Bey Bentley.

Dartnell, right-winger on the Ottawa “Special Delivery" line with Bill Robinson and Nils Tremblay. was the big scorer of the fast-mov- ing hard-ehecking game.

He tallied once in each period.

' The little centre on his line, Trem-

blay, assisted on three goals. Other Ottawa scorers were defenceman Jack Irvine, Buddy Hellyer and Bill Robinson with one apiece. Chuck McCullough, speedy cen- tre for the high-scoring line with Mel Hill and Schrlner, netted two goals for the losers. Lou Hauck and Schriner got the other: with Hill earning a pair of assists.

The Regina team seemed to have difficulty playing behind the blue line in the Ottawa rink which t: shaped like an egg at the ends and come: up with some unusual re- bounds.

They seemed off balance during the first two periods and didn't get fully organized until the last per- iod when they turned on the pres- sure.

The Senators outshot the Cap: in the first two period: 16-10 and 0-6 and then Regina had n 7-6 edge in the final period shots. The total for the game was 23 stop: by Bill (Legs) Fraser in the Ottawa nets and! 31 for Bentley in the Regina goa.
