Finn Leds
Pack to Win
In Marathon
BOSTON Iffi Long-striding Vei
kko Karvonen, a 27-year-old mail
clerk from Finland, finished 800
yards in front of Britain's favored
Jim Peters Monday to win the 58th
Boston A.A. marathon.
Karvonen's time of 2 hours, 20
minutes and 39 seconds was more
than a minute slower than his sec
ond place 2:19:19 in the event last
year but was remarkable in the
light of the warm weather and
mild headwind.
Peters, holder of the two fast
est recorded times for the standard
26 mile, 385 yard distance was
clocked in 2:22:40.
Finland made it almost a clean
sweep as Karvonen's teammate
and only other entry from that
country, Erkki Puolakka, came in
third. His time was 2:24.25.
For the second straight year the
rugged going up "Heartbreak Hill,"
gome eight miles from the finish,
decided the race. Karvonen, who
had been matching strides with
Peters in a two-man duel after the
first six miles, pulled ahead by
five yards as the pair started the
climb, held a 100 yard edge at the
top and lengthened his lead on the
final downhill stretch.
Heavy Bowling
Action Slated
SEATTLE OP Heavy action in
the open team division will com
mand the spotlight in the 51st an
nual American Bowling Congress
as the world series of bowling
swings into its 32nd day in Seat
tle's Field Artillery Armory Tues
day. With booster teams dominating
the big 32 alley arena through the
Easter holidays, few changes in
standings were registered over the
weekend.
Four ranked teams will invade
the tournament Tuesday night.
They are Art's Men's Shop and
Ebonite of San Francisco, Capri
Salami, of Oakland, and Wenger
Recreation, of Grand Rapids, Mich.
All are labeled as possibilities to
crack the top ten.
The Capri Salami five boasts a
former ABC all-events champion
in Ora Mayer, who took that title
in 1935. Three other team members
have 200 or better averages.
This, thit, etc.:
Watch for great improvement in attendance at Yakima this
season. Some energetic natives, led by former Washington State
football coach Babe Hollingbery bought up Junior Mercy's ball club
Holdings, sold stock to over a
thousand other natives and now
call the corporation the Yakima
Valley Baseball club. .Not a bit
unlike the same situation here
back in 1951, baseball interest has
been noticeably revived in the
Washington city . . . Kewpie Bar
rett says hell be no pitching gen
eral manager for the Yaks, add
ing that he's just too dang busy
selling advertising, making
speeches and attending banquets.
"Besides," winks the little round
man with the vast Coast League
background, "we're gonna have a
plenty good enough club without
me." . . . New statisticians for
the WI League this time. The
circuit has switched from the
Howe News Bureau of Chicago,
which handled the stax for many
years, to "William J. Weiss or
ganization of San Mateo, CaL,
which does the batting, fielding
and pitching figures for the Coast,
California, Pioneer and Arizona
Texas loops, among others. In
making the change. WIL'ers feel
they'll get faster service from California adding machines . . .
Connie Perez came alone from Cuba after all, leaving wife and
daughter behind. The Perez heiress has been ill, and Conrado won't
be bringing them this way until the child recovers . . . Sacramento
had burly Chuck Essegian ticketed for the town Senators via option
also, but the handsome heavyweight with the Stanford background
balked. Said he wanted to play closer to his Los Angeles home;
so the Sacs sent him to Ventura of the California State loop. Try
and figure that one if ytu can. When an aspiring young ballplayer
would rather perform in a Class C circuit instead of Class A there's
something wrong. And we doubt if it's entirely homesickness. . . .
WI League 'Salary Limit Still a Farce
Not that the accusation Is anything new, bnt we still Insist
the WI League's S6,(N per month salary limit is a farce. Aad
something should he done ia minor league baseball laws aad
by-laws to erase the item which creates the existing illnslom.
As is known, no league member can have a payroll exceeding
$5,000 per month for players exclusive of manager. When broken
down, this would provide something like $350 each for th other
17 players on a team. It's no secret that the WI circuit has gobs of
players making much more than that figure each month.
It's being done legally, mind you. H's just that the bonus por

The Beavers got off to a great

dropped five.
San Diego and Los Angeles are
tied for the league lead with nine

half a game behind, with eight
wins, six losses. Hollywood has
been able to win only four of 14

Portland and Sacramento will
be idle Wednesday, but will con

NEW YORK UH i- Wghthander
Jim McDonald of the New York
Yankees turned in the best pitch
ing job of the young season Mon
day. He shut out the Boston Rd
Sox 5-0 on one hit, a second b
ning single by rookie Harry Ai
ganis. This sparkling performance gave
the Yanks an even break in the
morning-afternoon Patriot's Day
doubleheader at Boston. The Red
Sox won the morning contest 2-1.
Detroit held on to first place in
the American League although it
lost to the Chicago White Sox 5-1.
Washington crept within half a
game of the top by edging Phila
delphia 4-3 on Eddie Yost's ninth'
inning home run.
In. the National League Pitta
burgh defeated the New York
Giants 7-5, Brooklyn rallied to whip
Philadelphia 9-7 and St. Louis
downed Cincinnati 6-3. Despite the
losses the Phils and Redlegs stayed
in first place, half a. game in front
of the Dodgers.
Brooklyn pounded 18 hits includ
ing a four-for-four night by Jackie
Robinson. Jack drove in three runs
on an assortment of two singles, a
double and a home run. The Phils
kayoed starter Don Newcombe and
Johnny Podres picked up the vic
tory. Agganis' single to left was the
only thing close to a hit off Mc
Donald. The Yankee pitcher walk
ed five and struck out four and
the Red Sox stranded five men.
The Yanks committed one error.
The New Yorkers slammed the
offerings of Mel Parnell and Tom
Herrin for 11 hits including home
runs by Mickey Mantle, his first
