.I\Ol. 'race by beating Washington Sen-

(Canndlan Press)

Boston Red Sox Tuesday night maintained their one-game lead over New York Yankees in the American League pennant

ators 6-4.

In addition to rebuilding their solid game lead over ths Yanks, with only four more contests to go, the Sox stretched their win- ning strenk to the longest in the big leagues this year. They prev- iously were tied with Detroit Tig- ers, each with 10 in a row.

A four-run sixth inning gave the Sox a 6-0 lead, sufficient to

,sta\'e Washington's late rallies in

the seventh and eighth, when Walter Masterson relieved star- ter Joe Dobson.

Before he was knocked out in the eighth, Dobson had singled home the last run of the Red Sox big sixth. l: followed Birdie Teb- hetts‘ two run-single. Earlier in the sixth Vern Stephens’ one- baser had driven in Johnny Pesky.

Dobson held the Senators to one hit over the first six innings, but began to weaken in the seventh. when he gave up one run.

The Senators knocked out Dob- son in the next round.

Earlid at, New York, the Yan- kees downed Philadelphia Ath- letics 3-1 for Vic RaschYs 20th. victory.

Al: Chicago Joe Gordon's ninth-

inning single on relief pitcher l-Iowie .ludson’s first pitch scored “Isou Boudreau with the winning

run as Cleveland Indians defeat-

ed the Chicago White Sox, 3-2. before 8,7& persons, . The victory pulled the tribe

within two games of third-place Detroit.

Shortly after hearing that out- fielder Cliff Mapes had been fined $200 and manager Casey Stengel and catcher Ralph l-Iouk, $150 each. for yesterday's argument with Grieve. the Yanks ripped into Dick Fowler for three big runs in the third inning. ‘

After that outburst they were cooled off by little Bobby Shantz. Connie Mack's pint-sized lefty. \\'I'IO allowed only one hit in a superb relief job over 5 2-3 inn- lngs. . Raschi. the Yanks’ first 20- game winner since Spud Chandler in 1946, allowed only four hits.

THRILLING AS THE WORLD SIES "PRIDE OF THE YANKEES" ' CAPITOL — Starts MONDAY

There should be plenty of keen racing witnessed at the Parkview Raceway this afternoon when the

featured lree-For-All Pace and four big classified _events in both trot and pace will get underway there in what will be the grand finale for the Rustico track this season, and one of the last major meets for this season over the Provincial Harness Racing Circuit. e e e e

With all five events crammed full of top-notch entries, the large crowd that is expected to take in the meet should get every oppor- tunity of seeing some exciting track battles and thrilling finishes when the various classes battle it out over the mile of dirt for top honors, and in doing so will no doubt produce some record times and fast action of the type that has been thrilling large crowds of spectators all season.

The popular sport of bop/ling is starting to make its way to the forefront in local sporting activi~ ties. and many of the local clubs and leagues are making prepara- tions for their regular schedule of events for the fall and winter sea- sons.

I I I I ln two divisions at least. plans have already been concluded. with both the Men's and Ladies’ City Bowling Leagues scheduled to be launched underway for the sea- son at the Sporting Club Roll- Away Alleys on Friday evening. The men's league held their final meeting last night, and it is un- derstood that at least six or eight teams will be participating this year, while in the ladies‘ division. at least four teams have made their official entry into the league and will see action on Friday night. O O I There will be many other lea- gues getting underway soon at many of the other bowling points such as the Y. M. C. A.. Holy Name and the City Bowling Alleys, whicn will not only include the organ- ized City Leagues. but other lea- gues made up of service clubs, business firms. government of- fices and organizations. etc.. with some of the commercial leagues having already commenced play for the season. I I I I There has been a marked in- crease in this skillful and interest- ing sport during the past couple o! years, which has been partly due to the additional facilities brought about by the Y. M. C. A. and Mr. Joseph McDonald of the Sporting Club, who between them have added a total of 16 new first class alleys to the grand total in ths past year. I I I Both these two new bowlinl! sites came into being last fall when the Y. M. C. A. installed six and the Sporting Club the same number. with all the most mod- ern equipment and accessories to go with them, while the latter site added another four alleys this year for a total of i0. I I I One can get a little idea of the tremendous increase in lihe sport during the past year, wbendespite the addition of 12 new alleys at that time, it was not uncommon to visit all of tho four sites in the City the same evening and find them booked up solid for the eve- ning without a single alley to be had for an impromptu game. At that time there were 20 alleys available for play, and with an average of four at each alley, one can get a rough ides of the num- ber taking part in ‘this sport on a single evening, not considering the fact that about every hour or so these players were replaced with an entirely new group of bowling enthusiasts.‘

Abandon Plans For Maritime Senior Baseballllayoff

FkfiERlCTON. Sept. 27 - tCPl-Lateness of the season has resulted in abandonment of plans for a 1949 Maritime senior baseball playoff series.

Hopes for a contest between the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia champions, Fredericton Capitals and Dart-mouth Arrows, respective ly. had been held until today. Then Kenneth Staples, president of the Fredericton club, announced he would be unable to field a team at such a late date.

He vrired the Arrows’ manager: "Series cannot be arranged. Sorry we are unable to field a. teini at this late date."

Uncertainty of the fail weather was another factor in the decision. Financial loss was feared in event of raimforcing one or more post- ponemen-ts.

Several outstanding Cap players have returned to the United States but previous indications were that some could be flown back for a Maritime series. A few Dartmouth imports would be unavailable

Three Yankees Fined For Mistreating Umpire

(By Austin Bselmser)

NEW YORK, Sept. 27—(AP)—- Will Harridge, American League president, today fined three New York Yankee a total of $500 for alleged mistreatment of an umpire —a move that led ths pennant contenders to charge their league chief with being as wrong as the umpire involved.’

Throughout the day, the reper- cussions resulting from yester- day's dispute over the winning run in u game which the Yanks lost, 7-6, to Boston Red Sox re- bounded between Her-ridge’: Chi- cago office and the Yankee Stad- ium here.

Hnrridge led off by fining out- fielder Cliff Mapes $200 and de- manding on immediate apology for remarks made to umpire Bill Grieve.

The League head said he was advised that Mapes confronted Grieve after the mime and asked him "ho\v much did you have bet on the game?" That, said l-Iar- ridge, was a reflection on the um- plre's honesty, He also fined manager Casey Stengel and cat- cher Ralph Honk $150 each.

It all started in the eighth inn- ing of yesterday's game when Johnny Pesky of Boston came roaring home from third base on n squeeze play. At the moment. the teams were deadlocked for the League lend and the game was tied at 6-6.

Pesky hit the dirt as Honk took llic throw from Tommy llenrich, who fielded Bobby Doerr's bunt. Grlelve, the plate umpire, called the runner safe. That touched off the most spirited protest launched by the Yankees all season. With no further scoring in the game, it put the Red Sox a full game in front with five games to play.

And even after Harrldge reach- ed his decision todziyg the Yankees refused to take things lying down. While his team was beating the Philadelphia Athletics 3-1, to stay in the thick of the race, general manager George Weiss issued a statement, saying in part:

"The management of the New York Yankees believes that the fines levied against manager Stengel and debate with umpire William Grieve following a decision at home plate were as hasty and erroneous as was the umplre's de- cision. _ p

"The cluh wired President liar- rldge Its desire to present the players’ side of the case but the ruling was made before this could be done. The Yankees’ conduct throughout the 1949 season has been exemplary, despite a heated pennant race. . ."

"Obviously the provocation was great in this instance but only the umpire's side of the story has been taken into account despite the overwhelming pictorial evi- dence that umpire Grieve ‘blew’ a

vital decision in a most vital game." Photographs of the disputed

iplay were the principal topic of |dlscusslon by Yankee players be- fore today's games.
