BOSTON. June 10 -(AP)-out spoken Rogers I-lornsby today was fired as manager of st. Louis Browns by Bill Veeck. club presi- dent who named Marty Marlon as the team's new pilot. "I blew one." Veeck said in a huddle ivltli baseball writers after making the change. "I shouldn't have signed him il-fornsby) in the first place. I had the change in mind for some time.” He contended Ilorusby. one of baseball's all time greats was "un- reasonable" in dealing with play- era. "He doesn't consider them as individuals. bnly as players some- thing to be manipulated." "No one is going to tell me how in run a bull club." said Hofllsby.

CHARLOTTETOWN JUNE 11, 1952 Congratulations are in order to- day for Donnie ”Funnell" lvlaolean who made baseball history yester- day evening by no-hitting the Maritime Central Airways team. A long. lean righthander MacLean pitched the best game of his life as he set the M. C. A. batters down without asmuch as an outfield fly. MacLean himself did not know he had a. no-hitter until the game was completed. "I never thought of it until the very last." he stated after the game. "and then I wasn't sure although I could not recall M.C.A. getting any good knocks at the bull." - I ' 0 The first: thing MacLean did was give credit to his young catcher The R. C. A. F.

Forbes Kennedy. "Forbes called all the pitches and made ll. great Job of catching," stated ”l-lunnell." It was indeed a. rare achievement for Kennedy as well as MacLcan. We venture to say that there are very few catchers in the world who ever caught a no-hitter in their first appearance in a league. Yesterday evening Forbes Kennedy played his first league game of baseball. and came up battery-mate on s. no-hitter. He was erratic in the first inning but in the last eight frames he worked like a veteran. O C C MacLcan thanked a good break- ing hook for his no-hitter. "My hook was breaking pretty good over the outside corner." stated "Funnell" after the game when we asked him about his most effective pitch. lie stated that he started to feel good during the third inning and from then on he felt in per- fcct condition. In the third inning, it will be recalled by those who saw the game. that he struck out three men. the only three who faced him.

His outfield- ers were not called, upon to make a solitary play as the rival batters did not hit A ball out of the infield. The youthful ball tosser gave up only three bases on bells, two of them to former team-mate Elmer Macrleill. He was charged with two wild pitches one of which fig- ured in the scoring of the airways runs. In three separate innings he sent three butters down swinging. Three men' were victims of his hunks in the first, third and sixth frames. Only in the second and ninth in- nings did he fall to strikeoul: I man. Kenny Wilson, Glen Mstheson. Elmer MncNcill and Irving Mac- kinnon were the last batters to face the o-hit author.

Machean had to be brilliant as his older opponent on the M. C. A. mound. "Lefty" MacAleer showed too much stuff for the Abegweir. batsmen. MacAleer surrended only five hits. four of them singles and turned in great pitching in tru- clutches. MucAleer struck out six men. all of them when there were Abbies on the hue paths. 1-le chalked up his first strlkeout in the inning when there were men on second and third.

"Lefty" was very tough in the light spots. Every time when the Abbles got into scoring position ,"Lei'-ty" bore down to strike out the butter or made them hit into a force play: In "Lefty's" favor was the fact that eight of the Abbie butters were lefthanded hitters. Macilleer struck out six men, all of them while there were Abbiea on the bases. 0 O C As far as Macbean should be (?ttllCEl'llOd the (81118 W!!! I TID- hlt, no-run achievement for him.

Glen Mntheson, Kenny Wilson and Arnold Mac- Collum were .struck out three times each. Lorne Hennessey, Elmer MscNelli and Lefty Mac- Aieer were twice vlctllnlsed and Freddy Keillor once.
