The National League pennant race tightened considerably Thurs- day. The two bottom teams won Ind the two top teams lost to narrow the gap between first and last to a mere five games.

New York: resurgent Giants made it nine wins in their last ll games, defeating the flu-riddled st. Louis Cardinals. 3-2 to sweep the three-game series. New York's victory skeln, following on the heels of its horrendous 11-game losing streak, moving the seventh placers only four games behind the pace-setting Boston Braves.

The Braves fell afoul of Ewell Blackwell who pitched the last place Cincinnati Reds to a 4-1

triumph. Thus the Braves' lead was cut to only one game over the Brooklyn Dodgers who whipped the Chicago Cubs. 6-1 and vaulted past the Cards into the runner- up spot.

' Pittsburgh also passed the Cards. sweeping into third place with a 2-0 triumph over the Phil- adelphia Phils. The defending champions are now in fifth place. inree games behind the leaders and two out of the reach of the basement.

A two-run homer by Hank Thompson in the first inning and a run-producing single by Ray Noble in the third furnished the Giants with all their runs off riehtnnnclc-r Tom Pholsky. The 21- xcar-old rookie went all the way to suffer his second loss against wo victories.

Blackwell Is Hero

Elf-ickwell snapped the Reds' ihree-game losing streak with a -even-hitter against the Braves. He missed a shutout because of an eighth inning error by Grady Hat- ion.

with no senior ball on these yet in local circles and things still in the state of planning. and not

any too much evidence of that either, the youngsters about the City are not letting any grass grow under their feet and are taking advantage of the advanced weath- er to get their activities rolling. One group in particular. an en- thusiastic bunch of bantam-age bsllsters from the North and West ends of the City. have already got their league schedule underway in n. three-team .loop. 0 0

Made up of two squads from the North End, the Royals and Yank- ees, and one from the West End, the Cardinals, the kids are pro- viding one another with plenty of keen competition too. They have run off three scheduled tilts during the past week and are deadlocked in a. three-cornered tie for the league leadership with a win and a loss apiece. Leave it to the kids, they'll lead the way every time.

We note that many local ath- letes. who have strayed from the fold during the winter months to pei-sue their studies or other sci- ivities. are gradually drifting back to the "home town" for the sum- mer months. Among the recent or- rivals are former Island heavy- weight boxing champion Mervin "Jinks" Jenkins, Angus MacDon- ald. former City Hockey League defenceman, Jimmy Palmer. one of the Island's top-ranking tennis stars and former Maritime junior singles title holder in that depart- ment, and Walter "Windy" Le- Page. star track man in the sprint division for the Abbie Club in re-

cent years. c O O

Jinks and windy have just com- pleted thelr officer training at Camp Borden. Ontario. while Angus has been performing this past season with Stellarton Roy- als of the A. P. C. hockey loop. Jimmy is following in the foot- steps of his father, Judge H. L. Palmer. and has been persuing his studies as a lawstudent during the past year. During his stay here this summer, Jimmy hopes to or- ganize and develop tennis talent among scholastic .groups.

Judging from current reports. it looks like the present series be- tween Valleyfield Braves and Tor- onto St. Mikes Monarchs. who are battling it out in the finals for the right to be the first holders of the Alexander Cup. is not go- ing to be allowed to run the limit of the scheduled best of seven

' games if the turn of events should

go that way. It will be cut short with s. sudden-death fifth game at Toronto on Saturday night-that is if Toronto lost out in last night's game at Montreal which was not concluded at time of writing. If they did win. then it is all over now with Monarchs the Canadian Major Series champions with three wins and a. tie game under the re- vised set-up laid down by the C.”A. l-i.A. at is special session on Wed- nesday. 0 O D

It was only a few days ago that it was mentioned in this column, that present championship play- off competitions of late have been extending far too long into the wsrm-weather season. and that sooner of later officials would be bound to do something about it. It came a little earlier than expect- ed. howevm. and there is little doubt that the action taken by the C. A. H. A. to cut short the Major Series will just be a start in big- ger changes for next year as con- cerns getting Dominion playoffs started st an earlier date so that titles will be decided before the seasonal interest in hockey is lost.

Deny Rumors BrownsTo Move To Milwaukee

ST. IDUIS, May 10 -(AP) - The owners of St. Louis Browns denied knowledge today of a re- ported plan to move the club to Milwaukee but admitted poor at- tendance might force the club out of St. Inuis.

Bill and Charley Dewitt. the brothers who own 50 per cent of the club's stock. said s reported plan to move the club to Mil- waukee. outlined in s. Post-Dis- patch story. "seems to be one that could be worked out."

"Actually the Browns are not for sale." Charley said. "We have been approached by several groups. We have been asked to put sprlce on the club and we have refused to do that.

"But while we would prefer to keep the Browns in St. Louis, it is discouraging...to have such small crowds at our games. If someon ...offered us an attractive price for our stock. we would have to listen attentively."

Milwaukee. one of the American League's original members. has been clamoring for msior-league baseball for several years. A new ball park with a planned seating capacity of 40,000 is under con- struction in that city.

Cards' Pennani Hopes Hard Hii

NEW YORK. May 10 - (AP) - The pennant hopes of the St. Louis Cardinals, already rocked by a siege of flu that has put six play. ers and a coach out of action. re- ceived a staggering blow today when Stan Muslal was knocked out

The star slugger who played four innings of yesterday's game with the Giants despite a heavy head and chest cold, was confined to his hotel room today with a fever of 101.

Dr. Allen D. Tunney said Musisl would accompany the Reds to Cin- cinnati tonight but will not play tomorrow. .3-le ruled emphatically that pitchers Harry Brecheen, Howie Pollet and George Munger and coach Mike Ryba, all stricken by the same bug. must remain here for "a few days and then be re- turned to St. Louis for a rest." Second baseman Al (Red) Schoen- dienst and outfielder Tommy Glov- iano, also hit by the flu. were able to accompany their teammates also. Glaviano went to the park today, but did not play.
