Shamrocks, Barry's Lions , Capture Softball Openers

Barry’: Lions and B.I.S. Sham- rocks chalked up victories in the City Softball Leag11e'0(Denelrs at Victoria Park and Queen Charlotte High School diamonds last evening.

The Lions, defending Prince Edward Island champions over- powered Rolllaway Aces 122 and the Shamrocks blanked the Jun-, for Basilica Youth Club 5-0.

Threatening weather kept the attendances down but those who wended their way to the centres of action witnessed good ball for so early in the season.

The Lions had too much for the Aces in their encounter and broke up a tight ball game in the fourth with four big tallies. That was only the start as six more runners came scam-pering

home the very next inning.

Lorne Israel went the distance for the Lions limiting the losers to three base knocks. The Lions got to Wilf Shepherd and Henry Hartinger for half a dozen safe- ties. These combined with four walks and some costly errors by the Aces made the difference.

Dick Canrol of the Lions poled a long triple tor the best hit of the game. The bases were loaded’ when Dick connected.

Over -at Victoria/Par-k’s old diamond the Shamrocks got some terrific pitching from Joe Thistle. Joe yielded only three safeties, one of them a seventh inning triple to catcher Jimmy Duffy. Thistle, sent three batters downsvvlinging.

NEW YORK (AP)——A year ago Monday Bill Rigney‘s New York Giants were stuck in sixth place in the National League. with a 15- 20 won-lost record. Their team batting average was .255 and they had a total of 35 homers.

Monday, with a 21/2-game lead in the pennant scramble while representing San Francisco, the Giants also were miles and miles ahead of their club and individual batting performances for 1957.

This was the situation after games of Sunday, May 25:

In 39 games of which they’ve won 26, the Giants have a club batting mark of .293—hy far the best in the major leagues. They have walloped 58 homers, also a major league high.

Individually, the Giants have three players among the first 10 i the batting cmnlpetition-. They are Willie Mays, who shows a niiity .401 percentage, Daryl Spen- cer at .342 and rookie Orlando Cepeda at .331.

Bob Skinner of Pittsburgh re- mained in third place with a .343 average.

Will Fight To Keep Dodgers In Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Presi- dent Walter 0’Malley of the Los Angeles Dodgers Monday Prom- ised he will fight to keep the club in Los Angeles.

O’Malley told a press confer- cnce:

“Baseball h-as been -hurt by this purely local issue."

He was referring to the fight over Chavez Ravine, which the city council agreed to turn over to the Dodgers for a ball park in a deal that goes before the vot- ers for approval Jund 3.

“This situation was not pre- viously experienced in Mil- waukee, Kansas City, Baltimore and San Francisco, which went major league without incident. “The National League has the right to move the franchise but I shall fight any such attempt with all my strength. The players and our saff want to stay in Los An- geles. We like the 10 c a t i o 11, Weather, the fans and the attend- ance records.” «

0’Mal1ey said it was a. “mis- erable situation which finds our players and staff worrying over the opposition of two councilman and a minor. league club owner.

“We regret being in the throes of a political controversy instead of a contender in the National League race for the pennant.”

Murry Dickson clouted a 10th- inning lead-off homer after over- coming a four-ru-n deficit in a re- lief role Monday night to lead Kansas City Athletics to a 5-4 American League victory over Baltimore Orioles in a battle of home runs.

Dickson took over in the fourth, relieving starter Ralph Terry after Terry tossed a home-run ball to Jim Busby with the bases loaded. From then on, Dickson pitched four-hit ball.

In the Kansas City half of the fourth Bill Martyn hit a homer with Baxes on base by vir- tue of a single. The Athletics got another run in -the fourth on a double by Hector Lopez, an error and a force-out. Then Harry Chiti led off the fifth for the As with

That ended the scoring until _Dic—kson’s blast in the lolh. It was only the second time at bat this year for the veteran reliefer.

The homer was only the third of the 41 year-old Dickson’s ma- jor league career. The last time be accomplished the feat was in a losing effort with Philadelphia Phillies against the Chicago Cubs on May 19, 1955.

In the 6 2-3 innings he pitched Dickson struck out four and is- sued no walks. The victory gave him a 3-1 record.

Cliff Johnson was the loser for Baltimore, retiring after five in- nings, with four runs in, in favor of Arnold Portocarrero.

ECHOES

BY NORMAN MACDONALD

Yvonne Eric took away Jackie Burke’s Canadian. wrestling championship, and the Irish lass is vowing revenge. The grudge match will take place at Civic Stadium, Wednesday, May 28. Whether Jackie gets back her crown or not, there should be quite a ruckus over it on Wed- nesday evening.

Prince Edward Island's first wrestling card of the 1958 sea- son should be a good one. The participants . of the feature tag

‘match are all exciting perform-

ers. Germany’s Karl Von Stro- heim_ is particularly noted for his dynamic action in the wrest- ling ring. We have seen some of the best down here-—the acro- batic Carpentier, Geohagen and his sleeper hold, and now, Von Stlrolheim. A fine choice to open Summerside‘s new wrestling season.

Our town’s newly organized four-team softball league has re- cently been reduced to three clubs. The R.C.A.F. team, ac- cording to Corporal Anderson, will be unable to participate in

the league because, the corporal,

assures us,’ airforce teams which play in league with civi- lian teams cannot take part in tri-service competition. We’re

certainly disappointed but ap- preciate the predicament it would put the R.C.A.F. team in.

The latest word, however, is that the Cape Traverse team, will join the league at the meet- ing at Civic Auditorium on Thursday, May 29, and this is certainly good news. The Cape lads proved to all and sundry last summer that they will be no pushovers in this circuit. The other rural entry, Tyne Valley, had an imposing rec-ond of vic- tories last summeug and should fit nicely into the set-up too.
