Boston Braves In Undisputed National Lead New York, June 2—(UP)—There are two good things to remember about the pennant defending Boston Braves in the current struggle for the National league lead. 1. They seldom beat themselves. 2. Don’t ever count them out of a ball game, even if they- are far behind. The Braves make errors, sometimes costly ones, and they frequently find their starting pitchers going sour, forcing them to come back regularly in the late innings for their victories. They again took undisputed command last night with an 8 to 6 victory (over the Pirates in Boston. They have won the third key contest since last Saturday by putting on big late rallies. Against Brooklyn on Saturday they overcame a 6 to 0 deficit to win, 7 to 6, on Tuesday they roared from behind to trim the Phils. 7 to 6, after being & to 0 hi arrears and last night they won after trailing 5 to 0 again. -The Braves got the feel of things with one run in the third, then exploded for six more in the fourth after spotting Pittsburgh five runs in the first two innings. Boston got 16 hits, Connie Ryan getting a bases loaded double in the winning inning. Al Dark and Eddie Stanky got three hits apiece. Ralph Kiner of the losers hit his 12th homer to tie Ted Williams of the Red Sox for the major lead. The Braves made two errors, but neither was damaging to their lead. Moreover they scored two tallies on Pittsburgh errors. Stan (The Man) Musial knocked the Dodgers out of a first place tie hy blasting two homers and aj single for a personal 6 to 3 Cardin-1 al victory in Brooklyn, Musial, bat-J ting .500 at Ebbets Field this season, touched off a four run Cardinal rally in the ninth in which relief pitcher Bo Palica put three men on base with walks and each of them scored. Tommy Glaviano also hit a Cardinal homer in a pinch-hitting role as Jim Hearn was a victor in relief. The Giants staged their biggest rally of the season, getting seven runs in the seventh to defeat the Cubs, 11 to 5 at New York. The New Yorkers made 15 hits, Willard Marshall setting the pace with a homer, triple, and single. The Phils scored twice in the

Robinson Matched With Kid Gavilan Philadelphia, June 2—(UP)— Ray (Sugar) Robinson was scheduled today to defend his welterweight championship against Kid Gavilan at Philadelphia’s huge Municipal Stadium on July 11, despite claims of New York’s Madison Square Garden corporation that it has Robinson under exclusive contract. Robinson posted a $5,000 forfeit with chairman Leon Rains of the Pennsylvania state athletic commission to guarantee that he would pare down to the welterweight limit of 147 pounds for the 15-round bout. Robinson of New York and Gavilan of Cuba signed for the match late yesterday at Rains' offices. The contract called for a return title fight at Philadelphia on Sept. 12 in case Gavilan wins the crown on July 11. Gavilan gave Robinson stiff competition when they met in a 1 flround non-title bout at New York's Yankee Stadium last September. For that bout Robinson weighed 150-% pounds—three and a half more than the welter limit. New York’s Garden corporation and its new partner Joe Louis’ international boxing club has desired to stage the Robinson-Gavi-lan title scrap at New York's Polo Grounds on June 17. Robinson refused to sign for the New York bout because the promoters insisted upon having it broadcast and televised. There was no mention of radio and television in the Philadelphia contracts signed yesterday, although provision for them may be made later. Robinson will receive 40 percent of the net gate; Gavilan, 18-%. At New York, Harry Markson—boxing director for the Garden—was uncertain whether his outfit would seek an injunction to prevent Robinson from defending in Philadelphia. Meanwhile, Ralph Smith—a promoter of Houston, Tex—threatened court action to prevent Robinson’s going through with the Philadelphia fight. Smith said Sugar Ray had “run out” on a Houston bout on April 27. and then failed to carry out a re-match on May 24. URGE REGISTRATIONS (Cont. From Page One) pointed out that all young people, whether or not members of a Christian Endeavor group, are eligible to attend the sessions.

Todays Sport Parade By Oscar Fraley (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) New York, June 2—(UP)—You can tell how the St. Louis Cardinals are doing by taking a look at Eddie Dyer’s face — and the Redbird manager is smiling today. The last time around, TexasEddie was a grumpy man. His ball, club got oft near the bottom, dropped to last place and still was seventh in mid-May. Life was a seamy proposition full of storm clouds. To make things worse, Stan Musial, the sparkplug of the Cardinal attack, wasn't hitting the size of his hat. At one time he went 13 straight games without an extra basehit and 21 games without a homer, it was bad on Stan The Man but it was worse for -the Cardinals. Now, however, it is a changed ball club. Musial is hitting; young Eddie Kazak is doing a grand job at third; Dyer is getting distance out of his pitching staff and the club is scrapping in a manner reminiscent of those rough and ready Redbird teams of the past. It has brought them up to a challenging* position and replaced the Dyer scowl with a smile. “That's about the whole story,” Dyer explained as he sent his evercockier Cards out against the Brooklyn Dodgers. "For a change we are getting a few complete games from our pitchers and Musial is starting to hit, as everyone knew he would. Kazak is still getting his hits and filling 1 a big gap capably.” At the moment, Musial has climb-, ed to .286. His eight home runs and 19 runs batted in are moving him up among the league leaders. As the Mississippi mudcats exploded a ninth inning rally yesterday to beat the Brooklyn Dodgers. 6 to 3, it was Musial’s second homer of the day which started the comeback by tying the score. Before the Dodgers put out the! tire, the Cards had four runs and the ball game. One of the most pleasant Cardin-1 al surprises has been Kazak, who replaced the absent Whitey Kurowski. To date he has been the big Cardinal gun with a .356 mark and 21 runs batted in. Handsome Howie Pollet, 21-game winning ace of the 1946 Cardinal pennant victory, has led the comeback of the mound staff with two straight route going triumphs. Bolstered by all the other factors, the Cards now have won of their last nine games. It’s enough to make Dyer, or any other manager, smile!
