In the National, Brooklyn beat St. Louis 0-8 and New York wal- lupped Chicago Cubs 10-4. Cincin- nati and Philadelphia and Pitts- burgh at Boston were postponed.

At Detroit, the Red Sox nearly blew a 10-run lead but hung on to defeat the Tigers and knock them out of their spot as Cb-leaders in the American League race. The teams poured 13 runs across in a wild fourth inning.

The Boston club poured seven runs across in the fourth to grab "what seemed to be an insurmount- able 11-1 lead, but' the Tigers roared back with six runs in their half to make it 11-'7.

Photo Finish

Detroit, striving desperately for I victory that would have meant sole possession of first place. car- ried the contest right to a. photo ilnish. The Tigers made it a 13-12 flame by pushing over two runs filth only one out in the last of the ninth.

With one out in the last of the ninth, Ulo bases loaded and the score tied. Lou Brissic issued walk to Bob Kennedy, forcing I) the winning run for Cleveland over the Athletics.

It was the rubber game of I Three-game series, and Brissio's sixth straight defeat.

Al Benton, who then took the mound for Cleveland, issued four straight balls to Bob Dillinger to force in another.

The senators rolled to their ninth victory in 12 games by coming from behind to defeat the White Sox before a tiny Chicago crowd of HM7.

Sid Judson had little izouble as he checked the White sex on mine hits to score his fourth vict. ory against two losses. The Wash- ington pitcher also shared in the senators' 10-hit offensive against loser Randy Gumpert and Jack Bruner with a triple which brought In a run before he also scored.

Few of the Brooklyn Ladles' Dsy crowd of 15.000 would have Elven 3, plugged nickel for the Brooks chances as the Dodgers came to bat in the eighth. Howie Pallet. on the mound for the Cards. appeared to be headed for an easy triumph as his mates had given him In 8-0 lead.

We took a Lttle jaunt yesterday out to the Belvedere Links of the Charlottetown Golf Club to have a look around and see how things are shaping up for the official opening of the season, which is scheduled to get underway there on the 24th of May.

What we found,' was pleasing to the eye. Everthing is looking in really tip-top shape. The greens and fairways have been all rolled and cut. and everything about the clubhouse that needs fixing and painting has either been done or in the process of There are of (nurse. a number of small little things still left to be completed but all are expected to be taken care of before the ol- ficiai opening.

While there, we also had the pie 1: of furthering our ac- quaintance with Mr. and Mrs. Marc sandow, the new Club Pro- fessional and his wife who have been engaged in their new duties for the past three weeks or so. We use the term "their duties" be- cause although Mr. sandow is the Club pro. Mrs. Sandow acts as her husbands personal secretary and is as active and as busy as her husband is in his new position.

A yLOf38lIOIIIl golfer of high standing. Mr. sandow, accountan- ied by his wife, came out to Can- ade. from Br-;la.nd a little more than a year ago where he had been active as a profeuional in- structor with many British Clubs as well as in Switzerland and other points in Western Europe He came to this Province from the Yal-mouth, N. 5.. Golf and Country Club where he held the position of Club professional for the past year.

. . .

Really keen on his work, Mr. Saridow has been very active in his duties right from his arrival here. and already has given over 80 private lessons in the short time he has been here in addit- ion to many odd duties about the premises. i.n which he has been capably assisted by Mrs. sandcw. An expert at repairing ciubs and equipment, Mr. Sandow has also done much in this line since he has been here. and also has in sup- ply, a. fine array of new golf equipment for members of the Club to choose from.

While enjoying a cup of tea, served in typical English fashion by Mrs. Sandnw as the perfect host, this writer took the liberty of asking the Sandow'a how they were enjoying their new position. etc. This, in part, is the text of their reply: . .

"The beginning of our duty has been a pleasant one; and by the reception of the Members of the Golf Club, we feel that we want to do our utmost for the golfers. "Most of my tl.mc', stated Mr. sandow, "will be devoted to the teaching of the game. and 'to use my valuable experience with which I have taught many high ranking golfers. Golf has been made both complicated and difficult, and I have simplified the method of teaching by rtandardislng the Basic Golf, which gives one an opportunity to learn the right and easy way.

"Since my early apprentice days. I have been making Golf Clubs, so I know tm balance value of each one. I have studied the strength and weakness of players, analyzed the club length and weight. the lie and the grip. the best suited for each individual player." "one must realize". con- tinued Mr. sandow. "that the Club Professional, a man of many parts, with years of diligent study, can best aid the golfers to im- prove their game;

"I am always willing to give sound advice and consultations. maki the Members' Golfing season. more interesting. more successful. and more enjoyable." he concluded. in our books, that should be enough in itself to en- courage anyone to want to play golf and improve their game.

THE GUARDIAN.

Eddie Vlailllus Reported Now Beiler Tljll Ever

, May 18 -(AP)

4-Everybody counted Eddie Wait-

kus out but Eddie Waitkus.

"After all." the Philadelphia P.hi.llies' first-baseman sold today. "I'm a ball player. What also could I do?"

Waitkzul was nearly killed a year ago by 9. gun-toting. love- crazed girl who lured him into a Chicago hotel room. Later she was judged unfit to stand trial and was sent to a mental hospital.

The slick-fielding Eddie, one of the best first-basemen in baseball, missed most of last season, brood- ing about inaction as be con- ralesced in a hospital room.

At the time of the shooting, the 30-year-old Waltious was sparking the Phils in their fight to stay in the pennant race. He was hitting a shade above .300 and had been voted No. 1 choice of the fans to play first base for the National League in the All-Star game. The bullet spoiled that.

New Eddie is back where he left off. He's connected solidly on his comeback-and his big bat and his classy fielding have a. lot to do with the Phils' current position on top of the league.

"It gives me great satisfaction," Eddie said with a. shy smile. "Everybody sure counted me out. They said I was through, never would play again.

"That's because they never asked me what I thought about my chances."

Right now Eddie is climbing the horsehide at a. .324 clip, good enough for anybodyis team.

Does the injury bother him?

"Not yet. and I hope not ever." Eddie says. "Oh, it feels a little stiff every once in a while when I get up in the morning. but a little massage and sun lamp treatment on the back and I'm raring to go."

Waitkus broke into the major: with Chicago Cubs in 1941. played 12 games, then was shipped back to Tulsa in the Texas League for more seasoning. He played with Los Angeles in 1942. then went to war the next three years.

The Phils acquired Eddie from the Cubs in an eight-player deal during the winter of 1946.

Famous Golfer Operated On For Spinal Ailmenl

BOSTON. May 18 - (AP) - Bobby Jones, once one of the world's greatest golfers. today un- derwent an operation at the bass of his skull to correct a spinal all- ment caused by an accident 20 years ago.

His condition was described to- night as "satisfactory" at New Eng- land Baptist Hospital. Doctors did not say how long he was on the operating table.

The surgery was

recommended

rafter a check-up at the Lahey Clin- ic

Dr. Frank Lahey, head of the clinic, said the former golf king was suffering from pressure on the spinal cord caused by a bone "up near the base of the skull."

Jones, who scored golf's "grand slam" at the age of 28 in 1930, un- derwent an operation to relieve the pressure about a year and a half ago. He was hopeful that "one more operation will do the job."

His "grand slam" victories were the British amateur, British open, American open and the American amateur.

Sport Echoes From Prince county

The schedule of the Prince lid- ward Island Physical Fitness League has been released. The Curran as Briggs diamond at aummerllde will be the scene of the opening game, the Abbies and the 0 dz B boys being the participants. Let us hope that June 7th will give us balmy baseball weather to insure an auspicious opening.

we think the idea. of having M-uu-31 plate umpires and base judges this year in the Island League is an excellent idea. of course, the proof of the pudding is in the eating and We shall know better about this scheme after several games have been played but it is our guess that there will be les bickering over umpires' de- cisions. The point is this: During a baseball game there is bound to be some close decisions. No matter how fair an arbiter is, if he calls a close decision in favor of a. team from his town or group, he is sus- pect, as far as a lot of the fans are concerned. A neutral official does not labor under this handi- cap. Nobody suspects that he is trying to help either of the teams. Of course he will probably be call- ed a robber occasionally because fans have to let off some steam. What would a ball game be if the fans didn't occasionally berate the poor umpire. The time-wom. motil- eaten jokes about the um-pire's needing glasses. etc. are always good for a laugh, and the wise ump knows the fans have nothing against him, but are only playing a role that is as much a part of the grand old game as is the con- suming of peanuts and cracker- jacks.

The 1-'t.C.A.F. Royals. that's their new name, have picked their ball team. They've been practising for some time and have decided on the boys who will start the sea- son's play. We heard the list over the air and missed a. few names, perhaps. We notice that Frank St. John will hold down his old job at first and St. John is plenty good at the initial sack. Gunner Oox will be cavortlng in the outfield again and the Gunner is one of the best. A dangerous hitter and not exactly a victim of arthritis in the outfield either. "Moose" car- son will be in the outer pastures. "Moose" is a dependable hand be- hind the plate, at first or in the outfield. He doesn't pick 'em up and put 'em down llke seabiscult. but he knows how to judge a fly ball and he is a bitter. especially in the clutches. We didn't hear the name of Leo Dombroski but the static must have killed it or Leo is leaving town. Dombroski was one of the R. C. A. F. stars of 1949, mid just couldn't be left out of the pic- ture. Hulme was another nu-no we missed. and we don't believe that either. Jack Murphy was the only moundsman we recognized. and we

hope the airmen have come up

with some new pitchers, as they were a bit weak on the mound last year. Mick-lls had a sore arm for the greater part of the season. Mumhy pitched a killer-diller of a game against the C &: B boys early in the season. but never showed the some magic again, .4;

Wakefield On Yankeesl Payroll, But Blacklisted

By Joe Ilolohler

NEW YORK. May is -- (OP)- Dick Wakefield, the American League's No. 1 problem child. is back on New York Yankees pay- roll. but it's a cinch he will never be in their liac-up.

ln announcing Wakefield-'s rein- statement today, the Yankees lot it belknown in no uncertain tones that the bulking outfielder never wiil play for them again. Wake- !ield's previous activity as a mem- ber of the Yankee: was confined to three pincn-hit appearances in which he singled, wa'ked and struck out.

"The Yankees do not want Wakefield," said Arthur (Red) Patterson, club secretary. "He will not be asked to return. Some dis- position of his case will be an- nounced soon.”

Patterson hinted strongly that Did: will be said to another big league club. Rumor had Wakefield going to a National League team.

Whether the Yankees reinstat- ed Wakefield of their own volit- ion or did so under pressure from Baseball Commissioner A. B. chandler is I matter of conject- urc.

"The Yankees did it , pretty much on their own although they did have several ” salons with the Commissioner." said Patter- son.

Wakefield had been under sus- pension since May 11, when the Yankees learned that the comm- issioner had voided an earlier deal under which the Yankees sent the 20-year-old fielder to Chicago white sox for a reported 325,000 in cash and outfielder Johnny Ostrowski.

chandler was forced to take action when Wakefield refused to report to Chicago unless the White Sox offered him a smsoo con-

though he was I tough hombre in

the sumrnerside Town League. Jack is just graduating from jun- ior rsnks and may come on this year. we notice that Auger will catch for the Royals. Auger was quite a capable softball backstop last year. but we've never seen him in 9. hardball game. Richard is the now keystone sucker. A dependable player in the 'IV)wn league last year, he may do all right in the Royal infield. Bob Barlow is a big fellow and may supply 0. lot of punch to the Royal attack. The R..C.A.P'. didn't need too much extra heft last you to put than right in the thick of things and maybe they haw what it takes in 1950. Here's hoping.

The Legion will hold a volleyball meeting at the Armories in Bum- mer-side this evening (Friday) at 7:30 when I. league will likely be organized. Anyone wishing to en- ter a team is cordially invited to attend. '

About this rink project. we have decided to forget about commun- ity effort and turn our attention entirely to private enterprise. At a given time next winter we shall all be instructed to alert flooding ourbaokyardsaowscantlka the family out for a date. "Ice- Up Wen" it -will be called.
