Boston Red 80x last night won

their fifth consecutive American League game - a new high for the season -— by whipping the second- place Detroit Tigers 6-1. Walt Master-son was the winner. al- though he had to leave after 6 2/3 innings because of a sore elbow. In New York, the leading Yank- ees blasted last-placs St. Louis 4-1 with first ‘asoinan hitting his first homer of the season with two on in the sixth inning. Fred Sanford. purchased from the Brownies for $100,000, went the distance and limited his former mates to seven hits. Right-handed Dick Fowler of Toronto recorded his fifth strslllll with s. four-hit shutout as Phila- delphia downed Cleveland 4-1 to increase their third-place edge over the world champions to two games. Chicago snapped a five-game losing streak with a 5-4 victory over Washington.

The Red Sox scored pairs of runs in the third and fifth against starting left-hsnder Ted Gray, who was charged with the loss. and added another pair against Dizzy Trout, third Bengal pitch-

er.

The only Tiger run came in the seventh when Johnny Groih doubled to the flag pole, 3'19 feet from home plate in centre field. went to third on an infield out and scored on Don Kollowsys single into left.

Philadelphia's Fowler, who now has allowed but three runs in his last 35 innings of pitching, saw Cleveland score its only tally of the game in the opening inning.

Hank Maieski bobbled Joe Gor- dorrs grounder with the bags load- ed and one away. Fowler issued three successive passes after he retired the first batter. A double play on Lou Boudreau‘: ground- er followed the mlscue.

Shortstop Luke Appiing of Chi- cago was thumbed from the Blmfi in Washington for the third time in his lengthy career when he pro- tested s called third strike by umpire Bill Summers in the seventh inning.

Although the baseball season is still in its infancy, games played to

date lead to the impression that the fans, who appear to have in- creased interest this season, will be well repaid for said interest be- fore the season ends by witnessing some bitter diamond struggles. I I I I

In the Island League there seems to be very little difference in the strength of the teams entered. Practically all games played to date have been nip nnd tuck affairs with both pitching and hitting holding the spotlight and once the players have reached their peak the encounters should become very close-knit affairs. I I I I The same holds true in the jun- ior loop. Although at the present time the Knights of Columbus team have held an edge, that same edge hasn't been of sufficient mar- gin to warrant any walk over for them and when the other two en- tries, Vlcs and Kinsmen, knit io- gether more closely things should become plenty hot among the youngsters. I I I An example of this was clearly shown last season. Halfway through the season the Reece squad looked to be head and shoulders above the field. But as the schedule started to narrow down so did the Reece‘: margin and when it came to the final game of the playoffs between Kinsmen and Reece it was only the most disastrous kind of an error that kept the Kinsmen from walk~ ing off with top honors for the sec- ond yesr in a row. I I I I It is always that way in sport. The underdog can never be count- ed out no matter in what branch it is and as was said before, this season is still in ifs infancy and there may be many the upset be- fore the final out of the season is called in far-off September. I I I I

Track and field athletes have rm excellent chance of becoming fully acquainted with coaching tips to- night at Prince of Wales College when a group of films will be shown depicting tips on every track and field event. The pictures should prove very interesting and Athletes should take full advantage of the showings, I I I I Once again Jersey Joe Walcott will enter the ring the underdog ln the betting to capture the world's heavyweight boxing title when he steps into the ring against Ezzard Charles Wednesday night for box- lng‘: highest diadem. But the age- less New Jersey colored boy may fool the experts in this, his third attempt to wrest the heavyweight title. I I I I Boxing fans will never forget the battle he put up against the Brawn Bomber, Jos Louis, in their first meeting, a meeting that many fans still say should have gone to Wal- cntt. It. was a different story in their second meeting when the Bomber caught up with his tormen- tor and was tintloubtediy superior. I

In Charles, however. Walcott will not be facing the devastating power that belonged to Louis alone and there will be many wlio will be pulling for the New Jersey bsttler to come through on his third attempt and not only upset his foo but also the bookies who have installed Charles as the fav- orite. I I I I‘

Although the regular schedules in the bantam and midget groups of the City minor baseball leagues haven't started rolling yet, the various group teams have been getting in a good number of ex- hibition encounters on the old Vic- toria Park, Spring Park and the Hlllsboro Bridge diamonds which have been put in shape for their convenience.‘ . .

Two of the exhibition classes were run off on Saturday, while three more took place last even- ing, and all produced some good ball and keen competition. Two more exhibition tilts are also scheduled for this week, which will take care of just about all the

Four runs in the first half of the 09911111: inning paved the way for a 7-3 Knights of Columbus victory over the Kinsmen Juniors in a regular scheduled Junior Baseball League Kaine at Memorial Park last niznt. With two out. in the n.- itlal frame the winners came through with three hits and those coupled with a brace of errors ac- counted for the three tallies.

Spy Ready, on the mound for the wirmers, was in complete con- trol of the game throughout and registered his first win of the League. He struck out six batters andnillowed but two hits in the five innings the game went.

The winners added two runs in the third frame and counted one more in the fifth to make the seven run total. The Kinsmen scored single markers in the second, third and fifth innings and were starting a big rally in the last half of the sixth when Umplre-in-chief Cecil Ward called the encounter.

HEATED ARGUMENT

In the sixth inning the Knights had scored two more only to have these runs crossed out when the Kinsmen failed to finish their half of the inning. Only one batter up.

Crockett allowed seven hits and whiffed one. Perry during his ten- ure 0n tho mound was touched for two hits and one run.

Hardest blow of the game was a double by Ralph Plneau in the thirddnnint; which set off s. two run frame. Charley Kennedy also walloped a. double in the sixth inn- ing but it was not valid because of the calling oi’ the game, Pinegu and Donnie MacLean were the hard hitters of the game as each enjoyed a perfect night at the plate with three for three. Bill MacNeil had a two for three night also at the expense of the Kinsmen pitch- ers.
