Kennedy, who hasn't lived up to expectations in past years. allow- cd only one single in the last. 6 1-3 innings as the Giants came from lrliind to win and retain their one-half game National League first-place margin over Brooklyn Dodyzrs. Brooklyn turned back the groggy Pittsburgh Pirates 5-1

In the other day game Cleve- land Indians stopped Boston Red Snx 4-2 in 10 innings. The victory enabled the Indians to pull within one game of the pace-sctling Red Sox in the American l.ea::ue.

Kennedyls brilliant performance probably saved his job. The 29- ir.-ir-nid lertiiaiider was a bust in spring traiiiilliz.

Keimcdy's air-tiglat. job spoiled a .'mo nitcliiiig effort by lanky Paul

llinncr. who allowed only four livits. One of the blows, however was a two-run homer by Wes

west:-iini and another R run-pro- iliit-inc triple by Bobby Thomson

Jim ltcarn started fortlie Giants and gave up boili Chicago runs.

Hank Sausr drove in the mark- ms with a triple and single. I-learn gave war to Kennedy in the third uith the bases loaded and two out. hrniicdy got Dee Fondy to pop out.

Leon Brinkopf opened the Chi- razo fourth with a single but. was erased on a double play. He was the last Cub to get on base as Kennedy retired the side in order the rest of the way, Fanning five w-'-tile en route.

Horn runs by Andy Gil I-lodges with the four-bit pit:-hing of Ralph Braiire. spear- headed the Dodgers to victory over tlic hapless Pirates. who have tirnrtned five straight and already are 11 games behind. The game was halted after eight innings be- canton of rain. I

Hodges scaled the Pirates' de- font with R three-run homer, his first of the year. in the fourth inning off starter and loser Bob Friend. Pafko cloiited his seventh in the fifth to close the Dodger srorlrlc.

Branm fanned seven in posting his second victory

At Boston. Bob 'Avi1a homered with two out in the tenth to ignite t.he Indianst game-winning three- run rally. Al Rosen followed with a triple to chase starter Mel Per- nell. Ellis Kinder entered but Ray Boone greeted the veteran right- hander with another triple and Dale Mitchell followed with an infield hit to route Kinder. Ievsn Delock finally got the side out.

Early Wynn. who started and was knocked out by the Red sox .i'PsIFrdal'- hitched the final three innings and gained credit for his fourth victory. Pinch-hitter Clyde Yollmer homered in the tenth to account for Boston's final run.

Washington's week-end trade deal paid off again for the senat- ors as they wallopped st, Louis Bi-rvwns 13-1 in an American Lea- gue night game. ,

Prank Shea. acquired from the Yankees, permitted only four hits before retiriniz in the eighth inn- ing with a cramped finger. Archie Wilson, another former Yankee, led the senators' 16-hit. attack with is double and two singles and bat- ted in five runs.

Jackie Jensen also from the Yankees, and Jim Busby, from Chicago White Sox, continued to sparkle. Jensen slammed a doiihle and single while Busby got flwo singles.

The senators routed the Browns' ace hurler. Ned Garver, with seven runs in the first two innings to deal him a second loss, He has wnn two, Wahington continued its assault on Cliff Fannin to win its fourth straight.

Umpire Scbllqy Robb Resigns

CINCINNATI, May 5 - (AP) - Umpire Scotty Robb, who was accused of pushing manager Eddie stanky of St. Louis Cardinals dur- ing a game here April 22, resign- ed today.

In a brief letter to Warren C. Giles, president of the National League, Robb wrote:

"Please accept this as my re- signation from your umplring staff. effective as of today."

Giles. in It statement, said:

”Robb is a splendid gentlemen and I told him we would like him to continue as 9. member of the staff if he felt he could work ef- ficiently. Since he feels there is an existing situation which pre- vents this, we accept his resigna- tion . . ." .

Giles. at a hearing following the argument with stanky, disciplin- ed Robb and fined him an undis- closed amount. stanky was fined 550. and solly I-lemus, st. Louis shortstop who started the rumpus by tossing his bat away when he was called out on strikes, was fili- ed 325.

"For pushing manager Stanky. umpire Robb has been disciplined and fined an amount which, in my judgment. is commensurate with the art," Giles said in a statement. "The fine is A sizenhlc amount and much greater than the combined fines of the players. The amount is not revealed so as not to establish a precedent of A fine. for an offence usually pun- ished by suspension."

In St. Louis. Stanky was sur- prised hy Rohb'I decision. "I'm very. very sorry to hear that," Stanky said.

Robb came to the National Len- gue from the International Lea- gue in August, 1947.

Will Break From A.A.U. of C.

VANCOUVER. May 5 -(CP)- The British Columbia Amateur Boxing Association said today it will sever connections with the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada

The B.C.A.B.A. said it has de- cided to try to set up a national boxing association separate from the A.A.U. Charlie Sanford, asso- ciation president, said other pro- vincial branches also want to break away from the A A.U.

"We have two complaints again- st. the A A.U.." Sanford said. "First, we don't think the A.A.U. should step in and take over the "money" toui-namentsg the ones which are sure to make a profit. secondly, we don't like the A A.U. 's interference, which is an off- spring of the first"

Meanwhile. the Vancouver sun said in a sports page story that three or the six selections for Can- .-.da' Olympic boxing team were ”strlctly for the birds."

The story said light middle- weight Charles Chase of Montreal "didnlt show it thing" in the trials here last week and that heavy- weight James Saunders of Winni- peg ”sufters more from overweight than boxing ability."

The story said B C. boxers should have kept their gloves on Saturday night after the trials wound up "To stand guard over Prof. Robert Osborne and his crew of Amateur Athletic Union 'badg- crs to protect their interests in the, selection or the six-man Olympic team."

Robinson And Maxim To Fight For Lightheavy Title At Yankee Stadium

Nieman & lowreyi” lead Majors In Hilling

NEW YORK, May 5 -- (AP) -- Bob Nieman, 25-year-old St. Louis Browns rookie. and Peanuts Low- rey. veteran St. Louis Cardinal outfielder, led the Major Leagues in hitting today with identical .424 averages.

In sharp contrast. averages through Sundays games show the 1951 champions way down the list. Ferris Fain of the Phil- adelphia A's, American League king last year, was hitting .240. Stan Musial of the Cards was having his usual spring troubles, hitting .277.

Nieman's closest opposition for the American Lague was the shadow of Yankee Gerry Cole- man, now serving as a captain in the Marines. Gerry's .405 average still was second best.

Sam Mele, traded to Chicago by Washington Saturday. sported a fine .382. ector Rodriguez, Chi- cago White Sox rookie third base- man. was a strong .377 and Floyd Baker of Washington was hitting .370.

Lowrey's National League op- position came from Jackie Robin- son of Brooklyn. bowling along at a .409 clip. Hank Edwards, now with Cincinnati. was third at .394. Toby Atwell. the young catcher Chicago brought from Brooklyn's Montreal farm. was fourth, at .381.

Big Ted Kluszewski of Cincin- mill was the big name in the runs batted in deoartment with 24. Andy Pafko of Brooklyn led with six homers but Chicago's Hank Saucr and Rookie Ed Mathews of Bos- ton were right on his neck with five. Sauer also was pressing Kluszewski in the RBI depart- ment with 21.

Al Rosen of Cleveland topped the American with 17 RBI's and seven home runs. Boston's Walt Drum and Don Lenhardt and De- troit's Vice Wertz were his-clos-I est competitloii.

Has Fine Record

CINCINNATI, May 15 - (sent Ted Kluszewski. the smiling stroiigl man of Cincinnati Reds. looks to- day as if he is on the way to the, baseball heights predicted for him; for several years. '

At this point in the Major Lea- gue play. the 230-pound first base- man leads both National and Am- erican Leagues in runs batted fill -24 in 18 games.

Big Kloo, as he is called by oth- er members of the surprising Reds, has n fine all-around record this season. He has been at but 721 times in 18 games, made 26 hits; -88 many as any other Natioiialt Lcaguer - and knocked out four doubls. two triples. and three home runs.

That leaves him going into to- morrow night's game against Bfrooklyn with in. batting average o .361

Kiuszewski ended last season a batting flop in all but one depart- ment. Despite his 259 batting average, he still connected in the clutches to send 77 Cincinnati runners home.

NEW YORK. May 5 -(AP)- Middleweight. champion sugar Ray Robinson and light. heavyweight champion Joey Maxim finally were matched today in a 15-round flxht for Maxim's title June 23. at. Yan- kee Stadium. ,

After months of henimimz and hawlng over terms while Robin- son's resistance to the bout was be- ing worn down, the match was an- nounced by Jim Norris, president of the International Boxing Club. Norris also revealed there was a return bout clause, calling for an- other fizht within 90 days if Rob- inson won the title:

The actual contract signing will take place tomorrow oi- Wednesday.

Norris estimated the first big bout on the New York summer schedule will draw "from 5500.000 up" and managers Jack Kearns (Maxim) and George Galnford (Robinson) smilingly prediced "it will do in million." No decision was made on television plans.

PITISDURGH, May I -(0P)- nalpb Klner. Pittsburgh Plrlte home nln king. isn't -worried about his failure to lead the big leagues in '- today. The year he set his best mark-54 in I048-he had hit only two circuit clout: by May 5.

"It's Just; my, usual Pl'e'l9-33011 slump." said Klner. who has led the big leagues in home runs the last six years. "I renicmber one year I didn't get a homer till June 1."

what he is worried about. says Ralph with a grin, is the loss of his alibi. '

"in prevous years," he explained, "I always blamed it on cold wea- ther when I couldn't hit them. This year, they took that one away. We've had beautiful weather.

IA doctor recently told the Pirate outfielder he is allergic to dust and drafts. both of which he finds in ball parks. The physcian suggested Kiner get a Job in 3 nice oir-con- ditioned office.

"I don't think allergies have any.- tlilng to do with it." he said. "I've had those every year. They're no worse than they ever were. I feel as good as I ever did this spring- If not actually better."

"I've been hitting the ball very hard. But I can't get any eleva- tion."

He isn't even worried about his batting average, now pegged at

.266. "I'l admit itls about as bad as it's

ever been." he said. "But then, at

The chance of losing a piece of a 3350.000 payday has been giving Goinford many sleepless nights. I For Kearns this was the result of months of manoeuvres. trying to arrange a big money bout for his, champion. "Old Doc" has been away from the big dough for yearsl, -ever since the days he managedl Jack Dempsey and Miickey Walker.l No difficulties were expected ill, connection with Ra-binsoirs mid-I dleweight title.
