Bill Rigney is a man who demandsafar more respect in baseball _ circles than he had the privilege of enjoying while piloting the New York Gants. Since the move to San Francisco,_Rigney has‘, his club really acting like Giants and they are making a better than fair job of overpowering everybody that they meet.-
Another club that is showing surprising strength is Pittsburgh. The Pirates are performing at a sensational clip and it was only 1 dsastrous weekend at Philadelphia that kept them from keeping step with Rigney’s Giants. The Pirates dropped a four game set to the Phillies and at that were only 3% games off the pace on Tuesday. . _
Queried about the feats. of these Pirates, Bill Rigney had these remarks: “No, I don’t necessarily think the Pirates have. impirovedl But let me explain. I thought the Pirates were much better than their standing last season. After Danny Murtaugh took over, they played .512 ball. They're picking up where they left off.”
And that‘: the ambition of Murtaugh. Mind you he won't. be upset if his Buccaneers climb to very lofty heights but his goal for the 1958 season is to finish with at least as many wins as losses. ' «
And that may not be too big‘: chore for those pesky Pirates.
Baseball postponements are caused by various things.
Rain and wet grounds are the most common cause of c-an- cellation. In early season we heard of games called off because of snow. Power failures have forced some night games to be wiped out. But this one is the very latest.
The Northern league baseball game between two North Dakota teams was postponed recently. The reason—a dust storm.

Negro baseball promoter Frank Forbes claims that more Negro youngsters-are turning to baseball because there’s a real future in it for them now. ,
Forbes states that the Negro cblleges have a unique eligibility rule involving baseball so their diamond prospects can get ahead. If a boy plays pro baseball in the summer he can still play as an amateur in basketball, football or any other sport on the schedule. Forbes admits it’s a gimmick, but adds that it helps the Negro colleges keep a lot of their fine athletes. from drifting away to one of the big universities that can bid high for football or basketball players who might be good at baseball too.

By an ovehwheliming 19-4 secret vote, the Columbia team received the nod at the conclud- ing session of the five-day Cana- dian Amateur Hockey Associa- tion annual meeting. Thus the Packers will be the first Cana- dian hockey team to test the powerful Russians in Soviet ter- ritory.

Ralph complained because golfers continually tramped across his property.
_In his judgment, one of the learned jurists said: “When the plaintiffs children play around the house, they are scolded by the golfers, who require absolute silence and immobility of every- thing in sight during the ritual of addressing the ball, and of course, during the critical moment, of the swing itself.
“On one occasion, an irate golfer clubbed the plaintiff's dog unconscious for barking while on the plaintiff’s own property when children could not quiet the animal”.

We believe we are expressing the opinion of every real fan when we. state that one of the nicest things about this year’s base- ball activities is the apparent comeback of the great Robin Roberts. ,
Roberts. won his third game last Saturday pitching the Phillies to a 4-3 win over the hard-hitting Pittsburgh Pirates. Robin's other two victories came at the expense of the world champion Braves.
Right now Roberts has onl a 3-4 record but the suspicion is growing that the great Phila elphia hurler is going to win a lot of ball games for Mayo Smith this season. Pitching coach Whit Wyatt has the same idea.
Wyatt after the last Milwaukee contest claimed Roberts was throwing harder than he had seen him toss in a long w.h.i1e_ But the Braves were more impressed by the hurler’s control than by his improved fast ball. In that Brave-Phillies game, Roberts not only did not walk a batter but he never even had a three ball count on a hitter.
Robin hasbeen a twenty game winner in six seasons. A guy like that certainly is deserving of real success with his attempted
comeback.

Is there nobody around the Amercan League who can put I stop to the actions of those Yankees?
Right now the defending American League champions are making shambles of what was supposed to be a pennant race and the Yankees and the rest of the loop will suffer greatly as a result. The pitching presented to the opposition by Casey Stengel has awed the once-powerful bats of many great sluggers and
to end up with some fantastic earned run averages.
You do not need to be anti-Yankeg to deplore the situation that one iirids in the American League. While the National League has a terrific race goiifg on, the junior circuit finds itself with no one near the ‘front-running Yankees.

When the ballot was taken five teams were in the running—the Packers, Hamilton, Whitby, Win- nipeg a nd Bellevi.-lie, chosen Tuesday to represent Canada in the 1959 world championships at Prague. /
This item fi«n.ished, delegates whipped through remaining bus-i- ness. They received something of a jolt when secretary - manager George D-ud~ley of Midland, 0nt., reported that that CAHA received only $10,790 from the Allan and Memorial C-up playoffs and the association must dig i-nto its trust fund for a minimum of $4,657 this year to meet opera-ting expenses.
The CAHA’s share acfter ex- penses was far short of the asso- oiation’s budget of $30,950 but most of the deficit was ma-deup by assessment of $6,250 on the association’s branches, $2,525 on branch to - branch transfer fees, $1,650 for reinstatement of professionals to amateur ranks
and about $2.000 for radio rights
for the playoffs.
HELPED DUTCHIES
This marked the second time in three years the CAHA has tapped its $100,000 trust fund to meet.c urre nit expenses. Two years ago, $17,000 .was used to send Kitchener-Waterloo Dutch- men to the winter games‘at Cortina, Italy.
“We must consider our finan- cial situation very seriously,” Dudley told the meeting. “The playoffs should be our big rev- enue pro.diic~ers but we are losing money on them."

Old Ccise
Isn't Sure
CHICAGO (AP) — Casey Sten- gel. professor of baseball. bank director and manager of New York Yankees, isn’t sure what's what in the American League. But his club is on top, as ex-
. pected, and there appears no im-
mediate serious challengers.
Old Case held court Tuesday night before his Yankees bounced Chicago White Sox 5-1 for their seventh straight victory.
“Our pitching has been so good that I haven’t seen half of my staff,” Stengel said. “We haven’t been hitting much but we‘ve had good defence and -those pitchers have been so good that I don't even walk out there anymore. “Could be a bad situation. You know, when I'm not walking out there to lift my pitchers those guys on television aren’t getting any shots of me. Who knows, they might not renew our con- tracts next year and that means no money.”
Someone mentioned that Casey doesn’t have to worry since he's a bank president. The old skipper blurted:
“You got that wrong son, I’m just a director. Haven't worked myself up that high as yet."
They Banned The Panties
QUESNEL, B.C. (CP)——The stage coach run in connection with British Columbia’s cen- tennial celebrations is pr'ov- ing that the good old days are really gone foreger.
Why, people can’t even hang a fellow nowadays with- out messing up the whole
oper ion. This old Cariboo town was supposed to welcome the
stage coach Tuesday by stag- ing an old-fashioned hanging party.
Doug Davis, a horse- breeder and salesman, had volunteered for the job, and was supposed to be strung up from a tree in front of the historic Cariboo Hotel.
He was perched on a pony.
' The noose was‘ put around his neck. The rope was -tied toa tree branch. Then the pony was prodded out from be- neath him.
That’s when the hidden harness attached to the rope snapped. Doug fell flat on his face in the deep dust on the street.
The crowd roared happily but the hanging party wasn’t much of a success.
Wednesday was the last day of the stagecoach’s 500- mile run from Victoria to Barkerville, the f a b u l o u s gold - mining town of the 18605.

Russ Kemmerer stopped them 6-1. The loss left the Athletics tied with Baltimore, seven-and-a- half games back of the Yanks.
The Orioles meanwhile belted Detroit Tigers 8-1 to gain that position.
In the National League. south- paw Taylor Phillips of Chicago Cubs turned on the pressure in the clutch to cool Pittsburgh‘s Pirates 5-1 on five singles.
A leadorff single followed by Gino Cimoli’s home run was enough to give Los Angeles Dod- gers a 2-1 decision over Mil- waukee Wednesday even though Bob Rush yielded only two hits the rest of the way.
Two other games were sched- uled at night in the National League. San Francisco was at Cincinnati and St. Louis at Phila- delphia.
