Robin Roberts certainly has gained confidence for himself and. Mayo Smith the manager of Philadelphia Phillies after two weeks; of the 1958 season. ‘
Roberts, whose pitching fate still hangs in the balance, took, some very determined steps recently to prove to all interested‘ (and there are many) that he is far from through as a big league hurler.
Roberts was given no easy assignments. Smith picked none other than the champions of thy world, Milwaukee Braves, as the tests for the once-great Roberts. Robin responder‘ with most credit- able performances. On Sunday April 20 he threw a five hitter at the Braves and emerged a 3-2 victor. Aaron and Hanebrink hit homers in the seventhnto account for both Milwaukee runs. Last Friday he pitched nine hit ball but lost 4-0 to th_e‘Braves and Bob Rush. Adcock got a four-base knock this time. Roberts pitched good enough to win but the Phils couldn’t do-anything with Rush who finished with a three-hit job.
Roberts is a fellow that all ball fans would like to see make 1 real comeback. He has been one of the great National League hurlers and certainly one of the hardest working moundsmen.
Here’s hoping that 1958 will treat him better than last season.

Robert: is the only pitcher to win 20 games or more six years in a row. Spahn has had eight twenty game seasons but never more than three in a row.
He was long overdue for an opportunity to thank well wishers fortheir congratulations. It was a pleasant change from being forced to answer questions about his refusal to seek refuge behind a new pitch.
And he really earned this chance. Not only did he hurl a fine game against the champions but he took on the role of an offensive star. He collected three of his Phil’s seven hits and scored two of his team’: three runs including the all-important third marker.
If any guy ever deserved a win, Robin Rtberts did that one. And the nice twist to this story was that he got just what he was after. ‘ ' ,

San Francisco's second baseman Danny O'Connell, never noted for his power with the bat, recently cleared the fence twice as the Giants crushed the Dodgers 12-2 in Los Angeles Coliseum.
Danny was naturally very pleased with his show of strength but added a word of fear. Said Danny “if the Dodgers have to keep playing in this park (Los Angeles Coliseum) somebody’s sure to break Babe Ruth's home run record and I hope it’s not me."
Danny knows he won't have to worry too much on that score. He hit only 33 homers ll‘! six previous ‘big league years.

It was nothing unusual to have major league baseball games in April and early May postponed due to cold weather. In fact we have read of postponements brought about by snow.
Such happenings certainly don’t coincide with what happened in Los Angeles a few days ago. The temperature in the Coliseum hit a ‘cool’ 100 degrees and some thirty-fans just couldn’t take it.. They fainted dead away.
The only consolation was they missed seeing the Giants crush the hometown Dodgers. At least the fainting spell saved them that humiliation. V

That 42-foot barrier in short left field in Los Angeles Coliseum is still the target of sportswriters who "follow their baseball all season long. Right now a majority of them have recommended

Bud Henley, p, 2.11 1-5, by Am- erica’s Bud dam Muriel Henley, has again lowered the season’s record for the five-eiighths of a mile course on the Commons track at Haliliax by pacing in 46 3-5 seconds over the distance. He was bred by Harold Cudmore of Brackley and‘he should. take a record of 2.10 this season. He is owned by Harry Whebby of Dart- mouth, N.S., and was driven by M. Tu-rner. \

that any home run record set because of Los Angeles Coliseum‘s short left field fence he declared invalid.
193 writers were polled and 60 percent of them are not in favor of recognizing National Leaguers who may top Babe Ruth’s major league record of 60 home runs in one season. That would include Hack Wilson‘s National League mark of '56.
First question asked was: “If and when a National Leaguer tops Babe Ruth‘s 60 homers, should he be officially recognized as the new home run champion?” 116 voted no to this. Ten of the 77 who voted to recognize any new home run marks added this: that the record should contain a footnote saying it was made with the help of the Coliseum fence. _ .
Seven who voted ‘yes’ to have such records recognized qualified their answer with a stipulation that recognition only be given if a majority of the home runs were hit in parks other than Los Angeles. There were some who claimed that only Dodger players
‘- should be legislated against since they played half their games (77) there.
There were a few who put up a defence for Dodgers’ home field. They maintain it was not much tougher to crack a four-base knock in old Ebbets’ Field or the Polo Grounds.
The battle will continue to rage — make no mistake about that.
I lit It II III
Baseball fans here are delighted that the_ C. B. C. has seen fit to air a major league baseball game each Saturday afternoon. April 19 Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals were heard from C. B. A. a-nd last Saturday it was the game between Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Redlegs.
We got a kick out of last Saturday's game when the Pirates toppled the Reds 8-4. We have nothing against the Reds nor their great manager Birdie Tebbetts but we did enjoy seeing or rather hearing two of last year’s Cincinnati team play a large part in the defeat of their former club. The two were Ted Kluszewski and pitcher Don Gross. . '
Ted had a good day with the bat going three for five and Gross was in the game long enough as a reliefer to get credit for the victory. Gross came on in the sixth with the game knotted at 4-4 and he proceeded to hold his former buddies scoreless the rest of the way.
It’s nothing new this story of "former teammates coming back to haunt you. It’s something that goes to make any sport that much greater. Players seem to make a little greater effort when yfiaylng against their former team, as if to prove to them that

Extra Helping , OfDrama To Fans
By ROGER STONEBANKS Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON (CP) - The Football
Association Challenge Cup final,
, climax of England’s soccer sea-
son, offers an extra helping of drama to soccer fans this Satur- day.
The 77th renewal of English soccer’s most glamourous event is enhanced by providing the fi- nal chapter in the story of Man- chester United, a club seeking the pinnacle of success with a patch-
work team after a tragic and’
crippling plane disaster.
The team that faces Bolton Wanderers at Wembley Stadium is deprived of eight players killed in the Feb. 6 Munich plane crash. Four others are still recovering from their injuries and manager Matt Busby, architect of the side, is barely able to hobble to his place on the touchline.
Wearing the red and white shirts are a few survivors of the crash, two stop - gap purchases from other clubs and a group of young reserves thrust before their time into the most gruelling test in English soccer.
PROVEN IN ACTION
The club has proved itself since the crash by disposing of three opponents to reach the final of the knockout competition, the old- est of its kind in the world. Now it seeks to improve on the record of its predecessor which lost in the Cup final last year to Aston Villa.
Like United, Bolton lost its last

Ready For Match
MONCTON, (CP) —Chr-is Shaban, manager of Canadian and British Empire light heavy- weight champion Yvon Durelle, Baie Ste. Anne, N. B., said Tues- day night that Durelle will be ready to defend his British Em- pire title within three months.
The British Commonwealth Championship Committee has ruled that Durelle must defend his title in that time against Mike Holt of South Africa. Holt
is top contender _in the light- heavyweight class. Shaban said Holt’s handlers
have offered him $7,000 to go to South Africa, but he prefers to have the championship fight staged in North America, pro- bably in Montreal.
Durelle won his British Com- monwealth title last May in a fight against Gordon Wallace of Brantford, Ont. The scrap was for the Canadian title, but fol‘ lowing Durelle's win, the British boxing board awarded him the British Empire title. Wallace was hold-er of the crown at the time.
