Each of the three home run of 1047 crashed four-baggers yes- terday to lead their respective teams to important victories. Kiner, whose 51 homers tied Mize for the National League champion- ship, cracked two to lead the sur- prising Pirates to a 64 win over Cincinnati Reds in Pittsburgh. They were his second and third of the season, Thé victory was Pittsburgh's eighth against four defeats and en- abled the pace-setting Pirates to rtain their half-game lead over New 'York Giants in the National League. Mize slammed a home run with one mate aboard to break a 1-1 tie and inaugurate a four-run sixth feat Boston Braves 5-1 in New York, It was the slugging baseman's third home run of the year and helped Larry Jansen gain his second triumph against one loss. The lean right-hander allowed only five hits including a home run by Jeff Heath. Williams was the whole works in the Red Sox' 7-1 triumph over New York vankees in Boston. Thumpin' Ted who paced the American League with 32 home runs last year, banged his fourth home run of the season in the eighth off lefthander Joe Page with two mates aboard. The rebounding Detroit Tigers handed the Indians their second straight defeat before 57,450 fans in Cleveland 4-2. Previously the Tribe had won their first six games. Freddie Hutchinson hurled three- hit ball to outduel Bob Lemon, The Cleveland righthander made two of the safeties, one of them his second home run. The Tigers collected eight hits including Hoot Evers four-bagger which broke a 2-2 dead- lock in the fourth, ~~ Philadelphia Athletics vaulted into second place by whipping Washington Senators for the third straight time in the Capitol City 4-3.

By DON HUNT Montreal, May 3--(CP)--With the local baseball season opening Wed- nesday, Montrealers are looking forward to a big summer in sports. The Newark Bears-Royals tilt at open the lid on this year's warm weather sporting events and from then on it's one event after another. The Davis Cup matches are being held here again this year, as are the Olympic wrestling, boxing, track and field, and aquatic trials. After scanning this list of events --lacrosse, racing and golf could be tossed in there somewhere--Elmer (Montreal Herald) Ferguson: said, "It dawns on you that Montreal 1s the real sports centre of Canada." Before Toronto, Vancouver and the rest jump on Fergie, let the man explain. "Perhaps our thoroughbred racing doesn't hit such betting peaks as obtained in Ontario, but this town has also become the harness racing centre of Canada, mostly thanks to the progressive policies of the Rich. elieu Park owners." The Richelieu setup recently sold for a reported $300,000, which isn't chicken feed. Ounce of Prevention If all the ring managers were like George Sheppard, a Montreal boy who has made a name for him- self in the United States, ring fa- talities would almost disappear. Sheppard recently told one of his fighters--Charley (K.O.) Chaney-- to quit when the 26-year-old Balti. more pugilist wanted to make a comeback after a serious injury. Elmer Feguson reports that in 22 years of managing, Sheppard has never had one of his boys hurt. "When a boy starts to slip," says Elmer, "Sheppard asks him to re- tire. There wouldn't be so many ring fatalities, nor so many punch- drunk fighters, if all managers fol. lowed that theory." 4 Old Country Soccer 9 London, May 1 (Reuters).--Results of football matches played in the United Kingdom Saturday: ENGLISH LEAGUE 1 .

Toronto, May 1--(OP)--Hamilton Tigers today were admitted to the Ontario Rugby Football Union, it was announced at the league's an- nual meeting. The Tigers recently withdrew from the Interprovincial Union's E's Four, their place being tuken by Hamilton Wildcafs, for- mer O.R.F.U. entry. Tigers officials announced that Frankie . 'c. k would be with the coac*™. e former New York Giants professional recently visited Montreal and Ottawa where he considere? « rs to play with the Big Four Alouettes and Roughriders respectively. The Tigers' eriry left the OR. FU. with four teams--Toronto Beaches Indians, Sarnia Imperials, Windsor Rockets and Hamilton. A schedule will be drawn up at a closed session thi: afternoon. Two Toronto clubs, Balmy Beach and Indians, amalgamated recently and Ottawa Trojans withdrew to amalgamate with the Roughriders of the Big Four, high-spot in the fourth inning. The occasion was a bout bet Hitchcock of the Red Sox and Earl Torgeson of the*Braves in-which both teams mingled. During a double play at first both men went down and, then came up swinging. Here the mixup is shown at its height, with umpire C.

MORRISON Missing a golf shot is disappoint. ing enough, but to send the ball in a perfectly good flight that is off line is really disgusting. Yet, the latter often happens even with the best of players. And sometimes it happens for a fairly good reason, I hesitate to call it an outright good reason since that would find me furnishing some golfers with an- other alibi. The reason is this--the markers and outlines of the teees often are set at angles that mislead you when lining up your shot. While this can work against you it can be made to Workmen on the course generally are in a hurry when placing the markers on the tee and few of them feel obliged to arrange them so that a line drawn between them would be at right angles to the proper line of play on that hole. Many players, consciously or otherwise, line up, take a stance, to Other Crystal Palace .. 3 play at right angles to the line BEWARE OF THE MARKER The best golfer in the world can easily be fooled by the outMnes and markers off the tee. They are seldom at right angles to the proper line of play, so extra care should be taken when lining up a shot. running between the markers. They often send the ball in this line only to find it going into hazards or off the fairway. Likewise an edge of the teeing ground, a bench, fence or other objects may suggest the wrong Jine of play. Great as may be the influence toward wrong aiming, exercised by the various objects around the tee, the influence also can be turned toward better aiming. This is how such things can serve as a good influence--they can act as reminders about following the correct procedure wheen lining up for a shot. This procedure takes into account only the ground directly under your feet, the desired flight and the po- sition of the clubface when address ing the ball. First, the clubface should be placed on the ground close behind the ball with the face at right angles to the desired line of play. Then it should be held there until the stance has been completed: This gives the best di- rection at all times, overs Bub Debber, Dixie Howell and International League Action By The Associated Press Syracuse Chiefs, 1947 Interna- tional League playoff champions, are doing better than expected in the current race. Due to the loss of slugging Hank Sauer, pitchers Herman Wehmeier, Howie Fox and Jim Prendergast and a few other members of last year's team to the major leagues, the Chief's didn't rate very high as contenders in pre-season forecasts. However, they are in second place today, a half game behind Mon- treal Royals and riding a five-game winning streak. Timely hitting and good pitching on the part of thold- new-comer Jim Wallace have kept the Chiefs in the running. The Chiefs took both ends of a twin bill from Toronto Maple Leafs Sunday 5-4 and 8-0, while the Roy- als divided a doubleheader with Jersey City Giants, A run-producing fly by Austin Enickerbocker in the seventh in- ning decided the opener in favor of the Chiefs while Howell scattered eight hits in blanking the Leafs in the second game. At Jersey City, the Royals won the first game, 4-3, but dropped the second, 3-0. Clarence Podbielan and Don Newcombe teamed up to tame the Giants in the first tilt, Lefty Jack Kraus fecorded a three-hitter in posting his fourth straight win in the nightcap. The split enabled the Giants 'to remain a game ahead of fourth place Newark Bears who divided a doubleheader with Buffalo Bisons. After Buffalo outslugged the Bears 9-7 in the opener, young Bob Porterfield whitewashed the Bisons 4-0. Porterfield, who hurled a one- hitter his last time out, limited the Bisons to three singles. Shortstop Oddi Strain of the Bears suffered a fractured left knee cap in a collision with Buffa- lo's Norm Jaeger in the second in- ning of the first game. Strain is lost to the Bears for the rest of the season. Baltimore Orioles moved to with- in a half game of the Bears downing Rochester Red Wings 6-4. A three-run homer by Al Cihocki and a bases-empty four-bagger by speedy Bobby Wilson ruined the Red Wings.

He was an unknowh apprentice in 1940 when he worked in the sta- ble of the late trainer Willie Jar- vis, who had the splendid filly God- iva in his care. Godiva had speed to burn but she hated her handlers all but Marks. x The boy-slept in her stall, babied ber with candy and became the only practice rider she would allow on her back. Marks was up on her in the 1,000 Guineas and the Oaks and the pair won both classics in a walk. Over- night Doug was famous. A few days later, riding another savage horse in exercise Marks was thrown and kicked. His spine was ing Doctors despaired of his e, The lad's courage kept him alive. He fought back from the brink of death, was walking on crutches 18 months later and by 1944 was able to rid again. ' He'q grown heavier and had to turn to steeplechasing, where he began to build up another reputa- tion, Only last month the crowd at Wye called him "the luckiest joc- key in the game" when he was thrown at a fence and a field of 10 forses galloped over his prostrate body without scratching him. The luck didn't hold. Once again a vicious horse threw him in exer- cise and kicked him. He went to hospital with a fractured skull. There is a strong likelihood that he will never race again, but his cour- age is undiminished. Jim Nowell is such a keen sup- porter of the Tenby (South Wales) Rugby Club that when he can't get to their away games he follows play by carrier pigeon. His brother Tom takes two of | 1.000 Jim's homing pigeons to the games. At half time he sends home the score an da short account of play. Another 'with final score full scoring details follows at the finish. Boat race night is a traditioanl evening of revelry in the West End, with young varsity bloods painting the town a distinct vermillion shade. But the metropolitan celebration has nothing much on the shindig that went on that week-end at Penzance, following a rugby game between a local team and London Hospital. When the boys finally got to bed it was discovered Isadore Redstone, a member of the hospital team was sleeping with a barber pole tucked neatly under the covers of his bed.
