Well such is the case and the “lowly” Chicago Cubs were the‘ cans of the third downfall and Dodgers’ top brass are beginning to be just a wee bit worried. They had counted heavily on Drysdale and had shown their respect for him by assigning him the opening day chore. Los Angeles was banking on their pitching to make them strong contenders for Milwaukee’s throne. So far it's been anything like top calibre and the former Brooks are floundering-—after nine games —— with a .333 percentage. Only St. Louis, another supposed contender. was worse off with a .250 mark. Dodgers crushing by Chicago Cubs Thursday (it was 15-2) has started the talk anew about the left-field screen in L. A. Coliseum 250 feet from home plate. Many believe this screen is such that it places Babe Ruth's home run record in danger. It's not that they don‘t want to see someone shatter the 60 mark but they don't want it beaten in any cheap way. Thursday the Cubs‘ Lee Walls smashed three over this 40-foot H’ screen to lead the Chicago attack. In all he drove in eight runs to almost single-handedly conduct the onslaught. The Cubs came up with Gene Fodge on the mound and they got a complete game out of him. Somebody better tell them soon where they are supposed to be in the standings before they get this National League in a real mixup. They certainly have caused enough trouble already. ' The Cardinals and Dodgers know that all too well. It * II it I The other day we made reference to a boner made by rookie Jim Davenport of San Francisco Giants. Jim failed to touch third in the ninth inning in Los Angeles and handed the,Dodgers a 6-5 decision. But the young third baseman had done much better things the day previous. He won his way into the hearts of San Francisco fans by collecting four hits, including a double and drove in four of his team's runs as the transplanted Giants trimmed the Dodgers and Don Newcombe 7-4. In their first three games at San Francisco the Giants played to 58,703 fans. In New York last season it took them seven games to reach that figure. If they continue to play the’ kind of ball they} played in their first nine games (they've won six, lost three) at—i tendance figures should even grow. _ n at as 1: 0 , Remember reading last winter about Jimmy Foxx being almost penniless? Well all is right with Double X once again. The Hall of Fame slugger had luck run completely out on him ‘ but he is back on his feet once again. Jimmy is coach with Bos- ton's Minneapolis farm club in the American Association. Foxx still has plenty of strength but he doesn't like throwing in batting practice “ 'cause I might not see that ball come back.” However he retains his knack with the willow. ' , Recently he took a few swings in batting practice. He fouledi the first one off. then powered the next pitch right out of the park. He hit 534 just like that in his twenty years of playing. That mark is second only to the great Babe Ruth. . All 5! It * II t Anld speaking of sluggers Duke Snider of the Dodgers is back a wor . The Duke and Don Zimmer got tied up in a toss-the-baseball contest before Wednesday’s game at Los Angeles with the Chicago Cubs. Both Dodgers were trying to hurl the ball overthe Coliseum stands —- 79 rows and 106 feet above the playing field. When Duke was not able to play in the game, club officials were upset to the point where they stated he would draw no money till he took his place in the lineup. Well Thursday came and Snider was in there sore arm and all. He readily admitted the soreness but stated “at those prices I’ve got to play." He gets about $275 a day. He realized the stunt was foolish but claimed he was truthful about the whole incident. “I could have said my knee hurt me and nothing would have happened.” Duke never did get the ball over the stands. His best effort landed in the 76th row. . Oi‘?! It's well known by now how seriously Milwaukee fans take their baseball. No matter whom you cheered in 1957 you had to admit that no group of fans deserve a pennant half as much as Milwaukee citizens. Now they have not only the National League pennant winners in their midst but also the World "Champions. The enthusiasm has increased. An Ottawa Exchange noting this tremendous interest has the following comment: “Milwaukee's baseball Braves seem to be threatening the fame of Milwaukee beer. Thus we have the Milwaukee Journal covering the season's opening game as it mi ht cover the dropping of Khrushchev’s first bomb: a detailed r ort of the innings, a report on what women fans wore, a color story on the crowd and its antics, a report on how bleacherites saw the game, scenes in the dressing rooms of the players and an analysis of Milwaukee's de- feat by the Journal’s sports editor. Ah, well.” Indeed it's all true. We had the pleasure of reading the entire display an did certainly did‘ tile §ports*staff proud. At this writing Eddie Mathews was still looking for home run number five. , The hard-hitting third baseman started the season with a real flourish clouting four homers in the first two games the champions l WBRIENLWINNINGS ICONFIDENT OF WIN 1 Greaves said in an interview I lfor me now” and he is confident f of winning. “I’ve been waiting for this (chance for three years and I don't want to miss it now." ‘ Graves said he's in top condi- tion. Like M~cC(l-uskey he held only: fa light workout after a sparring match Thursday. He was reported “drying out” his speed and reach to advan- tage. WEAR HIM DOWN Manager Swartz said McClus- key “is big and strong and we hope to beat Greaves by wear- ing him down in the early rounds. “I feel that Greaves will have to knock out my boy to beat him and he's only been kayoed once in his professional career.” McCl-uskey suffered a minor cut over his left eyebrow while sparring Thursday but it is not expected to affect him in the fight. Dodgers Are Sod Over Homers By Opponents LOS ANGELES (AP) — Home runs have Los Angeles Dodgers moaning low. Opponents‘ homers, that is. the records Friday and found: Eighteen homers in the firstsix games at Ebbets Field in Brook- lyn last year, 11 by the Dodgers and seven by the opposition. Twenty - four homers in the first six games at the Los AngelesiCo‘lis—eurm this year, 10 by »the Dodgers and 14 by the com- petition. Thus the ‘opponents doubled their fiour4b‘ased production, while the Dodgers didn't quite keep pace. - » The situation reached a low point for the Dodgers Thursday when Chicago's Lee Walls blasted three homers, ‘driving in eight runs in the 15-2 Chicago victory. What’s the answer? The con- sensus seems to be poor pitching. Despite all the commotion over the short 250-foot left field foul line at the ‘Coliseum, with its 42- foot ‘fence, sportswriters figure that good pitching will shorten the opposition homer parade. We have had an inquiry ask- ing us to.give the figures of the total winnings of our Is- land «reinsman, Joe O’Brien for each of the past five years. They are: 1953 - $269,579; 1954 - $307.777; 1955 - $421,660; 1956 - $422,618; 1957 - $349,355.

They will return to the re- serve lists of New York and Tor- onto respectively. Marcotte was struck in the eye by a puck in his first practice with Toronto Feb. 5. Campbell originally refused to recognize the deal shortly after it was made because of its word- ing. “The clubs kept saying they were going to resolve it them- selves. I got tired of waiting and set ‘today as the deadline." Marcotte had been with Buf- falo Bisons of the American Hockey League only a few days after being transferred from Trois - Rivieres of the Quebec Hockey League when he was ob- tained by the Leafs. The condition of his eye was reported as “discouraging” with only 40 per cent vision. Campbell said Marcotte, even though he didn't play an NHL game, will receive league assist- ance. Protest‘ Against Use Of Goalie Is Disallowed MONTREAL (OP) - President Bob LeBeI of the Canadian Ama- teur Hockey Association said Fri- day a protest against use of goalie Bruce Gamble by Ottawa- Hull Juniorcanadiens has been disallowed. LeBel said the decision merely upholds an earlier vote by CAHA officers and branch presidents al- lowing Canadiens to use the Guelph goalie as a replacement. Canadiens and Regina Pats are the finalists for the Memorial cup. REMEMBER WHEN (White Sox Snap Losing Streak By THE CANADIAN PRESS Chicago White Sox, the Amer- ican League team with the best mound staff as far as last year’s figures go, snapped a five-giame losing streak Friday, topping Kansas City AI)h)laLllC’S 6-5 in 12 Innings. The losing streak sent the Sox skidding to the bottom of the standings. ‘ In claiming the win over the Kaye-ee club, the Sox did it with last - of - the - ninth heroics. They scored three runs in that inning to tie the game and force the overtime. RED SOX IN CELLAR Meanwhile, Boston Red Sox continued to look ineffective, dropping a 2-0 game to Wash- ington Sentaors. The loss dropped the Beantowners into the league cellar, oneihalif game back of Chicago. Two other games were sched- uled in the American League, both at night. Detroit played at Cleveland and New York was at Baltimore. All liour games in the National League were night contests. Pimps- burgh at Cincinnati and Philadel- phia. at Milwaukee in the east, and St. Louis at Los Angeles and Chicago at San Francisco in the west. SINGLE DOES JOB In the 12th inning at Chicago, I-‘U515 ADaricio’s single off Walt Craddock, third Kansas Oity Ditciher. scored Jim Rivera from second with the winning run. Kansas City starter Alex Kell- ner appeared to have the game Wrapped up in the ninth when with one out Nellie Fox and Jim Landlis hit succeisaseive singles. Sherm Lollar walked. Virgil Trucks relieved Kellner and walked pinch batter. Earl Torgeson to force in a run. Tito Francona struck out, but Rivema came through with a twlo-ruin sin- gle to knot the game 5-5.

Royal Train has a mark of 2.12 1-5 and was fourth highest dash winner is the Maritimes last season with 15 firsts. Convair, 3, 3.01 was the leader with 19 wins. Pepper Clegg, 2.10 3-5. was second with 17 wins, and' Anthony L., 2.10 3-5, was thirdl with 16 wins. He also reduced‘ his record to 2.12 1-5 at Lower Sackville on October 5 in the played. Since then he hasn't been able to hit one for the distance. Of course four in eight games is a pretty fair percentage and if Eddie continued at the same pace he would wind up with 77 four- base knocks to his credit. Teammate Henry ‘Hank’ Aaron also has four but it took ‘Hank‘ a few days longer than Mathews to collect his. ' Naturally sports writers crowded Eddie after he banged his ‘ four circuit clouts. But the great third baseman just took his time. “There’s nothing to be excited about, not quite yet, anyway. I'd say it was a little early to talk about records, or even about the season I had in l953.” That was the year Mathews, a newcomer to Milwaukee with the rest of the transplanted Braves. batted .302, hit 47 home runs and drove in 135 runs. All three marks are high for his major league career. He was 21 years old at the time. -. the greatest gift of all RED CROSS BLOOD DONOR CLINICS "CLOVER CLUB". CHARLOTTETOWN Mon. April 28th ’ Tues.
