Detroit Tigers Split I Twin Bill With Yankees - At N. Y. Over Week-End

~ ____

By‘ The Camdian Press outfielder Pat Mullin got off the bench Sunday to slam three homers and lead Detroit Tigers to n. 12-4 victory over New‘ York Yankees and a split in u twin bill. The Yanks. still leading the Amer- ican League by a comfortable mar- gin, won the opener 6-2. More than 60.000 Yankee Stad- ium fans saw the Tigers knock out Yankee ace Vic Raschl and hang the second defeat of the sea- Ion on the right-hander. Lee Grissom started for Detroit but he was relieved in the third by Fred- die Hutchinson.

Mullin, who had not connected for a. four-master until today. be- came the first American Leaguer to wallop three circuit blows in a tingle game this year and drove in five runs as the Bengals ended Rasohfs seven-game winning ltreak.

Raschi hurled the first two rounds, giving the Tigers six runs on seven of their l4 hits. Mullin- ln the line-up only because of Johnny Groth’s batting slump which carried through the opener, his his first homer with one on in the first.

Tommy Henrich touched Mar- vin Grissom, making his first start, for two Yankee tallies in the first with his 16th homer.

Cleveland Indians, behind the five-hit pitching of Steve Gromek, produced two IOth-inning runs to best Washington Senators 3-1.

Gro-rnek, who held the Senators to only one hit in the last five innings. edged Sid Hudson in a pitching dllol_

Hudson invited trouble when he walked Ray Boone to open the 10th. Mickey Vernon sacrificed and Larry Doby was purposely passed. Joe Gordon flied out, but Ken Keltner shot a single past third-baseman Sherry Robertson to score Boone. Bob Kennedy then doubled off second-baseman Al Kozars glove to score Doby.

For the fourth time in as many games, Boston Red Sox whipped St. Louis, this tj-ne b_v a 5-3 score as left-hander Chuck Slob-bs scor- ed his second major league decis- ion.

All of the Brcnvns‘ runs catne on homers. Whitey Platt banged his third of the season in the sixth with the basts empty to give the visitors a temporary l-l tie. and Sherm Lollar slammed his fourth of the campaign in the ninth with a mate aboard.

The Sox wrapped up the game in the sixth (vilcn they scored three runs as Matt Batts doubled home two of them

In the four game series they scored 45 runs and made 66 hits against the Browns.

Chicago White Sox split a doubleheader with Philadelphia. winning the second game 3-0 after the A's came from behind in the opener to clinch a 4-2 victory.

W§lly Moses slaw-med a pinch-hit double in the eighth inning of the first game to drive in three runs.

Vics And Kinsmen Scheduled To Play Tonight

‘Ibnight the Vics and Kinsmen tangle in u postponed game of the Junior League. The game tonight was made possible when the wea- therman failed to behave for the two Junior teams during the past week.

For the Vice their hurler will likely be Junior MacLeod, while Garth Crockett will likely be on the mound for the third place Kinsmen crew. MacLeod has a loss chalked up to him as he lost a tour-hit ball game to the leading K. of C. team in his inital outing. Crockett has a l-1 record as he beat the Knights and then lost to the same team.

T001811“ lame should be a nat- ural as the Vics walloped the Kins- men in their last meeting. The Vics will be out to make it three in a row over the last place team in the League while the Kinsmen WlII be out to score their first win of the season over the Victoria squad.

If old “Jupe" Pluvius is on good behaviour the game will get under Way at: 6.45 and a large crowd is “heeled to sit in on the encount- er.

The rainy weather that hamper- ed all phases of outdoor sport all week, continued on over the week- -end to plague the activities plan- ned in baseball, horse racing. ten- nis etc. and made it an unattract- ive one for sporting fans as well as for those planning visits to the seashore or a quiet Sunday in the country.

Local golfers were the only ones to run off their competitions as planned, when they turned out at the Belvedere Course on Saturday afternoon to complete their third and final round of the MacKinnon Cup play, despite the unfavourable weather conditions. Don MacMil- lan came through the winner with a total of 22 points on the three- stage competition, with Doug Pierce and Don MacDonald placing sec- ond and third respectively with l9 and l7.

O O O O

In baseball locally. the Junior tilt scheduled for Memorial Field between the Vlctorlas and the Kinsmen on Sunday afternoon was postponed until tonight, While in the senior ranks the twin-bill in the Island Baseball League sched- uled for Summerside yesterday was also postponed. This makes the second postponement of the senior clashes which would have featured the Curran and Briggs and RC.- A.F‘. squads in the first tilt and Abbies and the C and B nine in the second. It was not decided last night whether the Island League will follow its regular schedule at Summerside Wednesday and pluy the postponed tilts at a later date or vice versa. The regular schedule calls for Curran and Briggs at R..- C.A.F. and Abbies ‘at RCAF.

Although local race fans were looking forward to a big night Sat- urday when slx fast classes were scheduled to go to the wire in nine dash events sponsored by the Pro- vlncial Exhibition Association and the Charlottetown Driving Park. this too had to be sidelined on ac- count of the weather. The event has been postponed until Tuesday night and despite the present dis- appointment of the fans. they will see probably an even bigger and better card of racing then, with local horse owners getting the benefit of a few extra days of training with their speedway champions. The Saturday after- noon matinee race card at Sunny Acres at Springfield was also raln- ed out until Wednesday.

- - e .

In tennis circles, although there were no scheduled matches plan- ned. the large number of enthu- siasts who turn out regularly at the various club courts during the week-end were also robbed of their favourite pastime and had to settle for other activities for the time being.

"Jersey Joe Walcott. he en by Ezzard Charles in the .B.A.'s version of the world's heavy-

weight championship last Wed- nesday night, can quit any time now,“ quotes Ivan (Hamilton Spectator) Miller in his recent comments on the scrap. O O O

Quoting Miller further he states: "Offhand, we can think of few fighters who have had the breaks that fell to Walcott. never a great fighter, and when Jersey Joe came out of last night's battle com- plaining that Charles defeated him with ‘sneaky punches‘ he demon- strated he is no longer deserving of those breaks for which many a fighter would give his left arm.

O O O

"Jersey Joe took a lot of hay out of that fight. l-fis squawks were refuted by the referee and others and, from all accounts, it appears that Charles simply de- feated him on merit through the late rounds after Walcott had missed his chances for an early

knockout. I O

"It ill becomes a defeated fight- er to pass the buck, or alibi him- self for failure to make u good showing. Walcott didn't have to show too much to beat a fighter of Charles‘ calibre. but he couldn't dig up that much and, when beat- en, he could at least have taken the defeat gracefully, as well us his end of the purse. which indi- cited he was probably overpaid. O O O

"In any event. Charles II now the NBA. champion. but he is u long way removed from his pre- deceluo and future fights of that description will probably draw a lot lens than Wednesday night's lcrlp.”

Amherst Enters Maritime Senior Hockey league

MONCTON, N.B., June ZS-(CP) Amherst Ramblers, last year in the Central Senior Hockey League. Saturday were granted a. franchise in the Maritime Senior Hockey League at a league meeting here. Addition of Amherst transforms the loop into a five-team circuit but there is still a. possibility that Dartmouth Arrows, not represent- ed at the meeting, may drop out of the running unless they have their own rink completed in tivme. Othel- clubs represented at the meeting were Saint John Beavers. Moncton Hawks and Halifax St Mary's, defending tttlists. Dartmouth may attempt to sec- ure other ice if its own rink. con- struction of which is to begin this summer, ls not ccmpleted in time for the 1949-50 season. Last year it operated out of the Halifax Forum but it was said the two-team drag on Halifax made it impracti- cal to conltlnue.
