Giants Prove Theyire Not One-Man Ball Club

lI.t JACK HAND

NEW YORK. May I2 - (AP) -- Tlw, iolks who buried New York Glflllii when Monte Irvin broke his ankle are sneaking down back al- lcys. They wear the guilty hunk of a man caught lilting a newspaper out of a trash basket.

By circling the Western bases and Boston at a. sprightly l.l-out- oi-ll clip. the Giants proved they were no one-man ball club. Maybe the imminent loss to the army of Willie Mays will prove they are a. two-man club.

Now it looks more like a Sal Maglic-Larry Jansen - Jim l-learn 'club. The unbeaten "Big Three” of the pitching staff is 10-0 for the year. Wes Westrum (.333: and Whitey Lockman (.310) are the only .300 hitters on the club.

The Giants are the hottest thing in the majors. No question about

that. But Cleveland and Washing-I

ton also are running a tempera- turc.

Three straight. wins at Yankee Stadlum left the Indians treading on the clouds. Sunday's double win over the deflated bt. Louis Brownies left them two full games in front of the league.

Washington. too. has been walk- ing on air. Since Bucky Harris ac- quired Jackie l-iensen. Archie Wil- son and Spec shes from the Yanks. he has won seven of eight. The senators are in second place as they hit the road to Detroit for

--.tL1dr.ft;a.t.Lv&:nL1r1s-,,(.. .

For the next 10 days the Easterni foams of the American League will be in the west. opening with an interesting three-game series be- tween New York and Cleveland.

The Brownies learned some of the facts of life in the east, drop- ping from the super level to the .500 class. Still they are tied with the Yanks for fourth place and about to open It long home st.ar.d. First opposition comes from the Philadelphia A's. who have picked up considerably after It horrible start.

Boston's youthful Red sex. knock- ed out of first place by losing three to the Yanks. open their jaunt. at Chicago. All four American League games tomorrow will be played at night.

The Giants. who have played only four home games. face Cin- cinnati at. the Polo Grounds tomor- row night.

Cincinnati and the Chicago Cubs. tied for third place. continue to surprise with their consistent play. They have dropped off a bit from ihclr early splurge but remain well owr the .500 mark.

I”.i'gI1i:ingi Systeml -For Memorial

A night lighting system for Memorlsl Field, 5 long-time hope for City athletes and sporting of- ficials, will become a reality around the first of July, it was leamed last night from George

The biggest sporting news to break for quite a while as far as the Island is concerned. came last night with the announcement by George Francis. President of the Abegwelt Athletic Club. that lights

would be installed in Memorial Field this summer. Actually the news did not come as it surprise for lt'had been considered for a long time and had been discussed in public for months but not until a few days ago had action been taken to proceed with the projecc. . . .

This night lighting scheme has been a fond dream or several lead- ing athletic officials and athletes for a number of years. Last fall at a meeting of the Abegwcit Club. President Francis stated that he was determined to see the items installed during his term .ol office. Brigadier Bill Reid has long cri- couraged the project. Most mem- bers of the City Council voized their approval of the matter last night and ever since the hockey season closed baseball and track and field athletes have been won- dering if the lights would be in- stalled this year.

0 O 0 When one considers the matter. he soon learns that this is quite an undertaking. It is only it let- years ago that night baseball was introduced in the United States and not so long ago that major league players started to play unapr me lights. Until this year only one centre in the Maritimes had been fortunate enough to have a light- ed field despite the fact that sev- eral centres in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have been pnyin-1 big money for imported teams. That centre was Edmundstoh. ll.B.. it farm club of the Brooklyn Dodg- ers. This year a lighting system is being installed in Dartmouth. N.S., an entry in the Halifax and Dis- trlct Baseball League. I O 0

Possibly in our enthusiasm over this project we are inclined to give the impression that this whole mat- ter ts a bed of roses. For some it will be. but for a lot it will mean a '.-eat deal of effort and sacrifice. The project will cost a lot of money which the Abegwelts and other as- sociations have undertaken to raise during the next few years by means of athletic contests and other forms of entertainment.

The action of the City council in guaranteeing to pay the light bill for two summers is one that deserves commendation. Most members of the Council expressed in their remarks the feeling that more recreation was neded for the working man in the City. They realize that there are many who can not afford to drive away in to car to a summer cottage after it day's work and that night sport would be an ideal source of enter- talnment for them. Councillor Prank Storey": remark "That pay- ing the light bill for two years would be the least the city could do." must have been very gratify- ing ones to the committee which waited on the Council.

. - .

A lot of planning has gone into this night light question. The men responsible realize that they have a lot of hard work ahead of them and it is quite a tribute to than that they are I3 willing to under- take it. We hope that they wont have to carry the burden alone and that everyone will see fit to aid them in making the project the success which it seems destined to

O 0 I

According to present plans the lights will be in operation some. time around the first of July. The thought that first comes to mind with lights is night baseball and while ball players will be given the break of being able to play under the lights other athletes and groups will sham in its benefits. Track and Field participants will have twilight meets and possibly the chance to train at night. root- ball players may be able to train at. night and concern and various entertainments will be staged.

Sport Echoes From Prince county

Baseball is just around the corner! Old Sol has been hiding his light under a bushel and a peek of raindrops for an usually long stretch of late and this has put a temporary halt to the boys who are all set to start tossing and batting the ball around again. And now a warning. This is the time of year when many aspiring young pitchers let their enthusiasm snuff out their chances of ever becoming effective pitchers. They get out under the sun full of vim and vigor and vitality (as if those things were not all one and the same) and they let it all flow out

of their throwing arm. They pitch the sphere a is Rapid Robert Feller or Walter Johnson or

Smoky Joe Wood, and the old soup bone gets sore and stays sore. Who wouldn't get sore un- der such treatment? No matter how much you feel like superman. kids. take it easy. You don't start a car in high gear. so what makes
