The hot National League race - only 4'5 games separate the top and bottom teams -- drew a trifle tighter Monday as St. Louis Card- inals rang up a 5-2 victory over New York Giants.

The victory left the Cards only 11.; games behind the idle Brook- lyn Dodgers, who lead the circuit. Cincinnati is in last place.

Nippy Jones doubled home three runs in the fifth inning to sew up the game and enable the Cards to sweep the two-game series. Gerry Staley stopped the Giants with a six-hitter for his sixth victory.

It was the only National League game scheduled for Monday.

Boston's Red Scx won a heavy- hitting American League game from Detroit Tigers 9-7. The Sox made merry with seven runs in the third inning but they needed Ted Williams two-run homer in the seventh to pull the game out of the fire.

Williams broke his batting slump with three hits in four times at bat. He now is batting .247. His homer, No. 8 for the season, was lined off Gene Bearden, Detroit lefthandcr who made only eight pitches before he win ,anked. Bearden walked Tom Wright on a 3-2 count before Williams crashed a one-ball-no-strike offering for what proved to be the game-win- hing runs.

The loss, however, was charged to Dizzy Trout, first of six Tiger hurlers to see action. Trout was yankedin Boston's third after four runs were scored.

Big Vic Raschi turned in his seventh victory against one defeat as he pitched New York Yankees. American League leaders, to a 2-0 triumph over Stubby Overmire and st. Louis Browns. Yogi Berra drove in both runs on a single and fly out in the night game.

The defeat was a heartbreaker for Overmire. The little southpaw and Raschl were locked in a score- less duel going into the sixth inn- ing when the world champions broke loose against the League's cellar team.

Hank Bauer dflbbled the ball down the third base line. The

- Browns elected to let it roll and

it stayed fair. Joe DiMaggio and Berra followed with singles to score Bauer. An error by Fred Marsh helped the champions get another run in the eighth.

Chicago's high-riding White Sox won their fifth straight American League game when Joe Dobson. Billy Pierce and Harry Dorlsh combined to limit Wash- ington senators to four hits. The Sox won the game 5-3. Dobson was credited with the victory. his third without loss.

Slops Marcel In 5th Round

PARIS, May 21-(AP)-Middle weight champion Ray Robinson stopped Kid Marcel of France in, the fifth round of a non-title fight tonight. The New York negro toyed with his rival for four rounds and then tossed some hefty pu.nches.,

Marcel's handlers quickly threw in the towel.

The end came after 5'! seconds. of the fifth while Marcel, French middleweight champion, was still on his feet and apparently un- hurt. Robinson obviously meant business, however, and Marcsl's handlers decided to take no chan- ces on their fighter getting hurt.

A slim crowd of about 6,000 was on hand in the Palais dues Sport to see Robinson make his first appearance of his current Europ- ean tcur. The champion received only a symbolic one franc. l-iis purse was donated to the French Cancer Fund.

Although the bout was listed as non-title 10-rounder, Sugar Ray could have lost his title had Mar- cel been able to knock him out. That came about when both fight- ers weighed in at l55”A pounds,

American and National League baseball clubs are taking too long to run off scheduled contests dur- ing the current season. or at least that seems to be the general beef of some sport scribes of into who should be in the know of such things. It appears to be their op- inion too, that if the presiding umpires would clamp down a little it would eradicate much of the dilly-dallying by the players them- selves who are greatly r "-1!-

The resolution noted there are large resources of manpower and material available elsewhere in Canada than in the Central Prov- inces where industry is largely loc- ated.

Vaughan seems to agree with that theme and is willing to go even further. "Such instructions should not be limited to National League umpires," writes Doug. "The same holds true in the maj- ority of games that have been played thus far this season in the American League - and it is high time that will Harridgs, A. L. proxy. also did something about it. Attendance in both the major league: is undoubtedly being hurt by over-ambitious umplring and the lack of hustle on the part of

"At Briggs stadium this season." he continues. "the Tigers have al- ready playd an unprecedented num- ber of overtime games. They, of necessity. are longer but there A still no reason why an ordinary contest shouldn't be run off in two hours at the most. Many of them haven't. As a matter of fact a check-up shows that the first 2'2 nine-inning games played in the A. L. this season required an aver- age of two hours and 25 minutes. That's too long. The fan who pays the freight despises long games - and if he doesn't. his wife does," quotes Doug. "A game that ran over two hours once was unheard of. but now they are having three- hour struggles. The majority of them are boring even on TV."

(Reuters News Agency said British, Australian and Canadian troops, driving north of Seoul. came under Communist machine- gun fire at one stage but brushed the Communists aside and contin- ucd their advance.

(Bill Boss, Canadian Press cor- respondent, reported from the west-central sector that Canadian troops moved up 5,000 yards through pouring rain without meeting opposition).

The Communists, however, still are capable of hitting back with heavy new attacks in the east, some 65 miles northeast of Seoul, if they can regain balance.

AP correspondent William C. Barnard, on the east-central front, said '”I'he Communist time- table was thrown out of whack" by the stalwart defences of the U. S. 2nd Division.

This division handed the Reds, "one of the most stunning defeats of the war," in repulsing a savage five-day onslaught.

Fstirnated Allied loses for the five days of the offensive through May 20 were 1.618 dead and wounded, compared with 58,000 Communist casualties, the De. fence Department announced from Washington.

Reports from the west-central front said the new Allied coun- ter-thrusts forced the Chinese to begin withdrawing north of the Hongchon River. U. S. and Re- public of Korea troops advanced through the rain, hard on the heels of Red rear-guards.

Sport Echoes From Prince county

--When the Sununerside Town Council purchased the Brenmn property north of the High school and announced that it was to be made into a. recreation centre, they really started something. Never. perhaps, in the history of the town has such enthusiasm for summer athletic; been in evidence as is the case this spring. The Summerside Athletic Association after having been in a sort of coma for two years has come to life with a bang. It is promoting baseball, football, softball, volleyball tennis. boxing, horseshoes and next winter they will have control of hockey. It will pay gpecial attention to the young boys and girls of the town. Healthful recreation and amuse- ment will be provided for summer- slde young folk from the time they enjoy the splashing and capering of a wading pool until they're old enough to play in intermediate baseball and softball tearhs.

The association has an ambit- lous program for this summer. It will naturally take a lot of deflat- ed dollars, to keep their program running at fullspeed and they are asking the citizens of the town to come to their assistance in a drive for funds next Monday evening. The whole-heartedness of the re- sponse will be the measure of the service to our youth which the association can give. The officials of the organization expect full co- operation from the citizens in this plan for a full sports program which should do much to fight juvenile delinquency.

The canvass will start at 6 p. m. Monday, May 28. and will conclude about five hours later. The town has been zoned and each zone com- mander has 9. group of collectors to carry out the work quickly and efficiently.

It is hoped that a baseball game will be played on the new Re- creation Centre diamond on Vic- toria Day, but as yet no tennis have been named. If the game is played. the players participating will certainly have had very little practice. No teams have been formed in Summerside as yet. Such smooth performers as Jim- mie Grady, Bob St. Pierre. Johnnv Finn. and Bobbie Timmins, will not be seen in action this year. These boys will be missed. but with the emph is to be placed on younger pla ers, Stammerslde. should have in a few years a lot of first class material and all home brews at that.

Kryhoski Heads Bailing Race In Americanieague

CHICAGO. May 21-(AP)-Dick Kryhoski, Detroit first-sacker, held the American League batting lead through Sunday's games with a .406 mark. Last week's pace-set-

Another new leader was New York's Mickey Mantle, tops in runs scored with N. Busby con- tinued as No. 1 bass stealer with 10. while Cash and Minoso led in triples at five.

New York's Eddie Lopat contin- ued his phenomenal pitching pace with two more victories and a league-leading 7-0 record.

Pain led two specialized depa.rt- -

of a fight card. Graziano was a 2 to 1 favorite to take the Can- adian welterweight champion. The knockout punch came at 1:56 of the third on a right to the chin. Greco weighed in at 153 and Graziano at 161 1-2. The crowd was 6,165. The gross gate was 523,421 of which Graz-

iano collects 30 per cent and Greco 25 per cent. The fight opened at I fast

pace. Graziano working a steady barrage of rights and lefts to Greco's head while the Canadian rained body blows at his oppon- ent.

Graziano had the edge in the opening round. He rocked Greco with a left hand let up and a right hand follow through.
