York Rifleman Is Tops In First Qualifying Shoot 1@ The Guardian, Charlottetown, Tues., May 19, 1959. | SPORT ECHOES ; BY NORMAN MACDONALD ' Tigers Humble Red Sox; Giants 4-2 Braves Down Slim Jim Bunning cracked four hits—including a home run and a triple—in leading Detroit Tigers on a 16-hit rampage and a 142 romp over Boston’s kidding Red Sox Monday. “¢ Bunning, a lanky righthander, also sgread out seven Boston hits in collecting his fourth victory of the season against three losses. His perfect 4-ror-4 Nitting per- formance and five runs baited in paced Detroit's lusty attack that included five doubles, a triple and four home runs. : ‘The other Detroit homers were smashed by Charley Maxwell, Al Kaline and Frank Bolling. Max- well’s came with two on, while the bases were empty for Kaline’s and Bolling’s blasts. The loss was the sixth in seven| starts for Boston. Bunning entered the game hit- ting .118.

GAMES ARE scheduled for every evening, Monday yet a club whose power is un- through Thursday and a doubleheader is slated for every Sunday after- noon. That's an ambitious program and certainly should — leave nobody howling’ that they are not getting sufficient games. If this kind of a schedule won't satisfy those chaps who want softball in abundance then we are confident that no schedule will.

That's more softball than ever was offered to fans he. - Of coyrse just because it was never tried before is certain- ly no argurnent against it. If the league can make such a schedule work successfully, we say more power to their wheel. WE UNDERSTAND there is a movement afoot to bring in junior baseball teams several Sunday afternoons. If this comes to pass, softball and baseball would be competing against each other for patrons and we see no need of that. Both would be the losers in such an event. We also think that every - effort shovld be made holding evening games for softball on the old diamond while base- to avoid ball is being featured at Memorial Field. A great many fans like to watch both softball and baseball and for them it’s a tough pro- } | BASEBALL RESULTS position if both are staging their shows at the same time. i We realize the headaches that confront the committees draw-' ing up-schedules for softball and baseball. It’s certainly no easy task. However, we do suggest that if possible the promoters of each sport get together and work out the best deal for the sports public. Tigers. JIMMY DYKES continues the fine work with his Detroit In his first ten games as pilot of the cellar-dwelling Bengals, the onetime star of Copnie Mack’s Athletics grabbed eight victor- ies. That’s a percentage of .809 and nobody in either league could top it. crack as a big league manager. Just about everybody was glad to see Jimmy get another The general consensus was that Dykes doceryed ench an cnorertrnitv Several writers across the country expressed pleasure at seeing the cigar-smoking Jimmy back at the helm of a maior league club. However, we think the tribute by Arthur Daley of the New York Times was just about tops. Here’s Daley talking: “As delightful a bit of news as base- ball has had in ages is \the signing of James. Joseph Dykes to a Detroit managerial contract. “The trend of recent years has been to vromote dull, stodgy “eareer men” from lower echelons in the farm systems to the game’s top jobs. There are so few colorful characters ‘eft and the ranks were depleted sadly last year when Birdie Tebbetts, the most engaging storvteller since Casey Stengel was a boy, | noved into the Braves’ front office. « “But Dykes reverses the trend.
