Cliff Chambers. Makes Baseball History With

By STEVE ROBERTSON (Canadian Press Staff Writer) Cliff Chambers, Pittsburgh's 29-

year-oid lefthander, made baseball history Sunday as he fashioned a 3-0 no-hit victory over Boston Braves in the second game of I National League double-header at Braves Field.

Chambers. hitherto an unspe:t-- acular pitcher, was wild in carv- ing out his masterpiece, walking eight batters. However, he received topnotch support in the field. spe- ilally from centrefielder George idetkovlch.

Metkovlch hauled down a 390- foot blast by pinch-hitter Walker Cooper in the ninth and followed by grabbing Luis 0lmo's long fly for the final out.

The no-hitter was the first in

the majors since Vern Bickford of '

the Braves performed the feat against Brooklyn in a night game last Aug. 11. The last time the Braves were Victims of a no-hitter was on June 18, 1947. when Ewell Blackwell ou'. the Red beat them, I-0. Chambers is the first member of the Pittsburgh National League club to pitch a no-hit. no-run game. Frank Allen of the Pitts- burgh Federal League team turn- ed the trick in 1915. Nick Maddox of the 1907 Pirates pitched a 2-1 no-hitter.

The Pirates scored in the first inning when Metkovlch doubled and rode home on Gus Bell's sing- le and added their remaining runs in the sixth and eighth innings.

Braves Win Opener

The Braves won the opener 0-0 behind the eight-hit pitching of warren Spaiti. who turned in his second straight shutout. Earl Tor- geson homered in the first to start the Braves rolling. ,

St. Louis Cardinals blew a. five- run lead but bounced back with six runs in the eighth inning to defeat Brooklyn Dodgers, 11-7 at Ebbets Field and draw a half game ahead of the run r-up Braves.

Jackie Robinso first error of the season, on a potential double- plsy ball, figured prominently in the Cards' big eishi-h. Pee Wee Reese of the Dodgers socked a grand slam homer in the seventh to give the Brooks a. temporary '1-5 lead. Duke Snider also homered for Brooklyn and Soliy Hemus bang- ed one for the Cards.

The hard-hitting New York Yankees went to work with their bets with devastating effect as they racked up an ll-B American League victory over Detroit Tigers. for their eighth straight triumph.

The league- leading Yankees. sparked by Mickey Mantle's. three hits, rapped five Detroit pitchers for 12 hits in the game at Yankee Stadium. Pinch - hitter Johnny 1-(opp homered for the World champions.

the last four same!- Brisale Figures In Games

southpaw mu Brissle figured in both games as Cleveland Indians and Washington Senators split on American League doubleheader. Brissie lost the opener which the Senators book 8-1 but saved the second game which went to Cleve- land 4-2.

Eddie Yost's three-run homer in the first game of the twin bin at Cleveland helped pitcher Duiio Moreno to victory. Al Rosen hit a lwo-run homer in the second inn- ing of the Tribe's nlghtcap suc-

cess.

Brissie lasted until the sixth inning in the opener and W18 pounded for five runs. In the sec- (and game he took over in the ninth from rookie Bob Chaksles. A right - hander makins 1113 "'55 major league start. Chakales put the first two Senators on the base. Then Brissie retired the next three men in order.

Judging by reports from Phil- adelphia recently. U. S. track of- ficials won't be surprised if they see a new record set for the mile run by an Oxford medical student

who is presently in the Suites competing in track events there. The man in question is Roger Bannister of England who set u new record for the Ben Franklin mile at Philadelphia on April 29th. The Oxford athlete won the event over top American milers in the time of 4:08:3. This is what they say about him.

"Track observers hailed Eng- land's Roger Bannister as potent- ially the greatest of all mllers to- day (April 29) but G-man I-Yed Wilt. for one. said he'd like an- other look. fl-Ie could be the greatest of them all,' said Asa Bushnell. kingpin of eastern col-

lege athletics who has held a stopwatch on all the modern champions. 'I-Ie's young. strong

and fast. There's no telling what he can do." 'He's the one man I've seen I think capable of a four- minute mile.' added another offl- clal who helped clock the superb- ly-conditioned Oxford athlete's 4:08:3 victory over Wilt and Don Gehrmann in the Ben Franklin mile, feature of the Penn Relays. O C 0

Recently Bannister ran the three-quarter mile in England in 2:56:8. Asked afterwards how he felt. he replied: '1 feel great. I think I could have gone another quarter in about 603 That would have been a 3:56:8 mile. too fan- tastic even to contemplate. But he just said it. he didn't do It. 'He's a fine runner," said Wilt. who trailed Bannister by 15 yards. 'but I think Gehrmann, when in top condition. can take him. Don

is faster! 0 I 0

"Gehrmann. who like Bannister is a tremendous half-mller and possesses a withering kick. mnv be able to match the Englishman's speed but there is question that he can ever equal his staying pow- er. The tnll. 22-year-old Oxford medical student wasn't even breathing hard when he broke the tape with the fastest mile ever run in the 57-year-old carnival. 'I think it could easily have been 4:05 if there had been a faster pace.' Bannister said. 'ihe truck was very soft. i.oo:. like sand'." I

The press reports on the event. carried in the New York Daily News. said: ("The early pace was slow with a 61:6 clocking for the quarter. 2:06 for the half and 311116 at the three-quarter point. Bannister took the lead from Lt. Stewart Ray. the early pace-set- ter. going into the last lap and then exploded like a bombshell. running the last quarter in an in- credible 56:'!. Those who watched the easy loplng Englishman run feel that he never was really put out: never taxed his tremendous reserve. He may not get a chance to do so until the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki. for which he's belnfl pointed."

'IORON'I0. May 6 -(OP) - The almost-forgotten men of amateur hockey played for 70 min- utes Saturday night and got no closer to deciding the first win- ner of the Alexander Cup.

Valieyfield Braves and Toronto St. Michael's Monarchs played a 4-4 overtime tie in the third game of the finals for the trophy at stake this season for the first time.

Each team previously had scor- ed a 4-1 win in the best-of-seven series for the championship in hockey's mnjor division. They play here again Tuesday and then move to Montreal for the fifth Thursday.

A crowd of 3,575 saw the teams put on a fast but close-checking contest. That was almost double the 1.941 who saw the Wednesday game in Toronto but far below the 14.000-plus capacity of Maple Leaf Gardens.
