New National Racing Group Is Planned

TJRONN. June 26 --(CP) - Willle Morrissey, president of the Ontario Division of the Horse- men's Benevolent and Protective Association, said today the Associ- ation will form a national body be- fore June 28.

He said he hopes formation cf the National Association will curb the power of the Incorporated Canadian Racing Association. He felt. the I.C.R.A., representing race track owners. has "too much power" over Caxiadian racing.

Representatives of the three present Canadian divisions of the H,B.P.A. __ Ontario. Prairie and Bgiflsh Columbia -— attended the annual meeting of the United States body in Miami this year. The us. authorities agreed that their rules are no! acceptable in Canada because of the different racing seasons.

The delegates drew up more ac- ceptaible rules and have had them gppfovQd by the Canadian divis- ions. The constitution now requires the approval of the U.S. body.

Morrissey described the H.B.P. A. as an organization in favor of "mything for the betterment of racing."

By The Canadian Press

Washington Senators yesterday (Thursday) mauled Gene Besrden for five runs in the first three innings to defeat Cleveland Ind- ians 5-4 while in the only other American League game Boston Red Sox triumphed 7-5 over last place St. Louis Brovims.

Detroit at New York was post- poned due to rain.

Larry Doby lifted the Indians to s ?r0 lead in the first inning with his sixth homer of the year after Joe Gordon had doubled.

Al Evans’ single after Eddie Robinson had been hit by a pitched ball and Sam Dente had walked gave the Senators n run in the second inning, and they got two more when Ed Stewart singled af- ter John Simmons walked,

A walk to Lou Boudreau, Gor- d0n's single and Baby's long fly tied the score at 3-3 in the third, but Washington retaliated with a two-run outburst in its half of the inning.

Dale lidltchellis single, s walk to Ken Keltner and Mickey Vernon's single gave the Indians their final run in the sixth.

The game was called at the end of the first half of the eighth inn- ing to allow both teams to catch trains.

Boston Red Sox took full ad- vantage of an error and a close play at second base by scoring four unearned runs in theeighth inning. The victory gave the Sox a firmer grip on third place.

The Brownies had gone ahead 53 in their half of the eighth rwhen they drove out starter Mel Parnell

The 8t. Louis starter, Ned Gar- ver, seemed on his way to his third a/lctory after disposing of the first. two batters in the eighth.

thing but get. bit by Bern's ground- er and obscured Pelly‘s vision enough to make the St. Louis shortstop bobble the ball. All hands were safe as the run scored on the error.

Johnny Pesky then banged one toward centre field. Gerry Priddy made a great barehandecl stop and flipped to Ed Pellagrinl at second. DlMag slid to the bag and was rul- ed safe as Stringer scored the tying run. ‘

Ted Williams then came through with a line single into right for the winning runs.

Regardless of the fact that the game will be an exhibition affair, the Aibhies will have s special axe to grind when they meet the West. ern Capital team to atone for their .7-2 defeat at. Summer-side last- Sun- day. and will be taking the field in a determined effort. to do just that. .'I'he Westerners, however, are going no be s tough team to handle which is evidenced by the fact. that so far this season they have rolled off four victories in as many starts, two of which were scored over n team from St. Joseph.

Sport Echoes From Prince County

Two baseball seasons ago Russ Phsneuf made a spectacular catch that. won a very important gems from Charlottetown. On May M. 1949. he came through in lnother pinch with the stakes not quite so high. With two out and the score tied at; l3 to 13 (No it wasn't basketball) in the game with St. Joseph's. Russ stepped to the plate and drove out a clean single driving in the run that won and stopped the ball game. The dyed- ln-the-wool fans who shlvsred on the sidelines were almost as grate- ful to Phaneuf for stopping the game as for winning it.

And say, is the weatherman who Predicted 65 degrees Fahrenheit for Prince Edward island on Victoria Day mill at large! in figuring out; that one. he must have squared something instead of taking the square root.
