Chicago's wil- lowy southpaw, yesterday checked New York'Glant.s 6-0 with three hits, allowing only one New York- er to reach third in a National League galne at Wrigley Field. The Boston Braves-St. Louis Cardinals night game was past- poned because of rain and wet grounds, Brooklyn Dodgers played a. night contest at Pittsburgh. Schmitz. in gaining his second victory, was helped with home runs by Roy Smalley, Bill serona and Wayne Terwiiiiger. Manager Leo Durocher, second- l'-aseman Eddie Stanky and pitcher Sheldon Jones of the Giants were ejected from the game during a seventh-inning argument. With Preston Ward on second. 1-lnni: Sauer lined out to shortstop Alvin Dark. who threw to Stanky attempting to double Ward. Stanky dropped Da.rk's peg and umpire Frank Dascoli ruled Ward safe. The Giants. led by Stanky and Durocher, protested the decision, claiming Stanky held the ball long enough to make the out. After .1 long jawing session. Dascoli thumb- ed the two from the game. Hank Edwards scored Ward with a single to left. Umpire Lou Jorda then went over to the New York bench and threw out Jones lor jockeying. Chicago opened fast with three runs off loser Larry Jansen in the second inning. Tex-wiillger closed out the home-run bombing in the next inning, with a. shot into left afield. The Cubs picked up their other run in the fifth. Ralph Kiner smashed out two home runs. one with the bases loaded. to give Pittsburgh Pirates a 10-5 victory over Brooklyn. Kiner's drives accounted for seven Pirate runs and gave him the League lead in the round trip department.

The meet at the mile-long Thorncllffc Track. will start July 3 and end Aug. 19. Announcement coincided with re- lcnse of n (ilrcctivo from the new- ly-rlppoinicd Ontario Racing Com- mission which said ”there shall be no night harness racing (under lights) in Ontario in 1950." This has been interpreted to mean twi- light racing is permissible. ni- llifilli-Zll the O. R. C. would not amplify its statement. Jockeyhijured NEW YORK, May 9 -(AP) - Doug Dodson, 29-year-old jockey. was thrown today by Poppaea. and stepped on by the filly at the start of the 510.000-added Fashion Stakes at Belmont Park.

May 9 - (AP) - Philadelohia Phillies today re- duced their rosler to 26 players by releasing Ed Wright, 31-year- old right-handed pitcher. outright to their Toronto farm club in the International League.

LITTLE SPORT We note that the Cliarlottetown Roll-Away bowling team. the Pro- vincial entry in this year's Nova Scotia-Prince Edlward Island Bowi- ing Tournament being held at Dartmouth. N. S. this weak, didn't get away to a very enoouraaim start in the opening days play there on Monday. The boys won three and dropped five in their first eight games played. . . . However. there is a long way to go yet. and with a large entry list of 16 teams competing this year. anything can happen by the time the week-long play is over. The local squads standing at the end of the first day of play was a tie for 13th position with Sprlnghlll. Conn-Martel of Halifax, last year's runners-up for the title against Dartmouth Beazley's. were leading the field at the end of the first day with 10 wins in 12 starts. I I O The local team left for Dart- mouth last Sunday. and is com- posed of the following members: Joey McDonald. Irving MncKin- non, Duck MacDonald. Kays, Pete Harley. Red Macken- zie and Jim Lawlor. Although the boys are competing against most of the top bowling teams in the Marltimes. there is probably one very good reason why they haven't made a better showing to date than they have. The reason. not enough practice. I I The Roll-Aways. captained by Joey MacDonald, have been bowl- ing pretty much as a team for the past few years. and although not having won the N. S.- P. E. I. crown, have made some determin- ed bids for it during the past three years. and have copped off a number of individual honors during the competitions. I I I Since the Sporting Club Roll- Away Alleys, operated by Joey himself, was burned down in a disastrous fire here last winter. the boys have been without a home alley in which to practice over, and although they have supple- mented it by competing over other alleys in the City, they have not been able to get in nearly as much practice as they have been - t -4 to. which is bound to have an effect on their usual per- formance. I I Mr. MacDonald, however, has already laid his plans for re-bul1d- ing on the old site on Grafton street, and come next. fall, Char- lottetown will probably be able to boast one of the finest and most up to date bowling centres in East- ern Canada. where the boys, and many others too. will be able to get in plenty of practice for future competitions. . According to recent reporta from Toronto "there was I 'hearts and flowed touch to Lynn Patrick's resignation as coach of New York Rangers. Reports of the occasion had the National Hockey League club's front office wishing Lynn nothing but the best as he headed west to join his father in run- ning the new Victoria entry in the Pacific Coast .Lel.lgu.e. "But Milt (Toronto star) Dun- nell says the facts behind. the de- parture of the freshman coach who nearly won the Stanley Cup are somewhat less pleasant than those that met the eye. For what it's worth, hereis Miltla version: iwhen Lester Patrick was near the end of his active connection with the Club he put on the hockey map. Ranger president Gen. John Reed Kilpatrick told him he planned to bring up Lynn from New York's New Haven farm club to replace Prank Boucher 3.8 Etanger coach. I WE says Loner didn't like the idea. The old Pot:-lok (Ida!) claimed to have taught Boucher all he knew about the executive end of the game and felt Bouoher was ignoring his advice. 'It.'s ; bad time for him to take over: Lester told the president when he sug- gested Lynn Is . Lester ex- plained to friends that his son oouldnt win.

Sport Echoes From Prince county The Prince Edward Island Phy- sical Fitness Baseball League will function again this year. There were fears for a time that this might not be so. Reports had it that Charlottetown would con- centrate on a City League. that Summerside would enter an inter- provincial Senior "13" circuit, and that the R. C. A. F. baseball auth- orities would participate only in inter-service contests. I I I A rather odd set-up has been fashioned (or the Island League this year. There will be no presi- dent.

(By The Canadian Pres!) Boston Red Sox virtually took command of the American Lea- gue's early pennant race yesterday by hammering out a 6-1 verdict over Detroit Tigers behind the pitching of lefty Mel Parnell. All other scheduled games were nighters. Cleveland was set to tangle .wiLh Philadelphia Athletics: Chicago White Sox met Washing- ton Senators. and St. Louis Browns took on New York Yankees. Boston and Detroit are dead- locked with exact .667 percentages -the method used to determine a pennant winner-but on a won- and-lost basis Boston, pre-season flag choice, has a one-game bulge. Walt Dropo. rugged rookie play- ing his eighth game since his em- ergency recall from Louisville. led the Boston attack. The big first- sacker. filling in for the injured Billy Goodman. blasted his second homer and collected two singles to drive in two runs. He was the only player with three hits as each of the Sox col- lected at least one safety off three Detroit pitchers. Bobby Doerr also siuggcd I homer. his third. It was Boston's first run of the game and the first hit oilf Virgil Trucks, who suffered his first loss. Trucks. who has won two. now has failed to finish four games. In winning, the Sox continued a whammy they hold over Detroit. who have won only three games in Fenway Park in the last two seasons. And through the 1948 and 1949 campaigns the Sox have beaten Detroit in 30 of 44 gamea. Parnell pitched hltieas ball un- til Vic Weriz singled into led! Ifter two were out in the fourth. The smooth-wm-king southpaw. who won 25 games while losing seven last summer. had I shutout going into the seventh. Then I double by Aaron Robinson and another two-bagger by pinch-hih ter Don Kolloway set up De- troit's only run. Trucks was driven from the game in the sixth when the Sox scored their fourth and fifth runs on doubles by Johnny Perky and Vern Stephens and single: by Tom Wright and Dropo. Dropo'I single was off Saul Rogovin, sec- ond Tiger hurier. in the night games. New York downed St. Louis 4-2. Phiiadei. phi: whipped Cleveland 9-0 and Wuhlngton edged Chicago 3-2. Ed Loplvt handcuffed St. Iouia with three hits as New York took advantage of four Brownie errors to win. Lopat fanned Iev- en in regutering his third Ameri- can League victory. Hank Bauer. back in the outugla after I brief layoff because of sacroiliac trouble. had I hand in all the Yankee runs. He hit I single and double, drove in two runs and scored two himself.
