1 BURDETTE SHINES II ABOUT SPORTS Tigers Set Scorching Pace; Nudge Leaders Willi CAL HALKFR 0 Br H) ILKS Associated Press Sports Writer Okay, so the Detroit Tigers have been hot since Jimmy Dykes took over as manager. But how hot is hot? er- yet I Call it scorching. Bette call it, tops, for if you co compute American League standings on In that time, Face has won 13 and saved 21 with a 1.51 earned run average, allowing Just 17 runs in IOO 2-3 innings. The 31-year-old former Dodicr farm hand grabbed his tory of the season Monday by collaring the Francisco Giants in a 12-9 Pint a success decided by Harry three-run. two out pinch homer in the 11th inning.

TIED FOR THIRD That ended the Sues' skid four games and pushed them a three-way tie for third with Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles. The Cubs were beaten In only other game scheduled, losing 9-5 at Milwaukee as the first-place Braves regained a three-game edge over the second-plac Giants. Face blanked the Giants on three hits in his three innings of relief, walked none and fanned one after the Pirates caught the Giants with a five-run eighth-inning capped by Dick Stuart'a two-run homer. Young lefty rk (3-5) was the loser in relief for performance since May 3, the day Dykes took charge, the Tigers would be leading the league by a i sot games. When Dykes relieved Bill Norman the Tigers were last, 10'i games behind then-leading Cleveland.

They had a 2-15 record. Now they're only 2'i game? shy first place, have a 24-10 record (.706 under Dykes, have taken command of fourth place, are over .500 for the first time this season and have won 12 of their last 15 games after winning their fourth in a row Monday night at Boston, 6-3. BREAKS DEADLOCK It was the only game scheduled in the AL and broke a fourth-place deadlock with Kan-I as City while moving the Tigert within a game of Cleveland Indians. The Tigers whipped the Red Sox behind the six-hit pitching Bunning "and Al Kaline's runs baited in. Bunning 6-4 1 blew a 3-0 lead when the Red Sox raired half hits with their inly walk for all their runs in he fifth inning.

A two run Inuble by Don Buddin broke 'iunning's shutout with two out, ind Pete Runnel's single scored Buddin. The Tigers, who opened the 'ead on. Kaline's two-run single the top of the fifth, broke the in the sixth against losing Bill Monbouquette (1-21 as Bunning grounded into a double ilay. Eddie Yost singled home another run in the eighth and Kaline, who was 3-for-4, hit his 11th homer in the ninth. Going back to the Tigers "would-be" six-game lead in the Kh, nobody has led by more than 3'-i games this season.

Cleveland twice had that big of an edge, but both times held it "or only one day. For the record, the Chicago White Sox lead by a single game over Baltimore. The New York Yankees have he next best record to the Tigers' in the span of Dykes' stay in Detroit. The champs, who replaced Detroit in the cellar, have a 17-15r ecord, six games off the Tigers' pace under the chubby cigar smoker. The White Sox and Orioles also are six games behind with 18-16 records.

Cleveland? The Indians are 14-19, 91 games behind the Tigers' record. TOPS ON THE FAIRWAYS Mid-Island Golf Tourney at Nanaimo. Mrs. Naysmith wan low honors with a 75 and a net 68 wca low net honors for Mrs. Jansch.

Bionda. who having a terrific early season start with New Westminster 15 points of Nanaimo's Skip Msc-kay, but Skip will have a chance to narrow the gap when tin: locals play Vancouver tonight at the Ksrrisdale arena. An interesting note in the league statistics reveals that not only are Bionda and Mackay running one-two in the poini department, they also hold the dubious ionor of spending a kit of time fei the penalty box. The 15 minutes picked up by Mackay Saturday night gives him a 41 minute total as compared to Bionda's 35.

Harold Fox tops the list with 54 minutes. In other Individual statistics, Bionda has the most goa's and assists, evened out at 21-21. He also leads the league in shots on goal with 60. In addition to Mackay, Don Ashbee Is the only other Na-nalmo player to be counted in the first 14 with a total of 17 points. Nanaimo's Garry Moore still retains the record of most goals In a single game with the five--he scored against Victoria, and Spud Morelli reached the charmed 300 goal circle last week.

An incident during Saturday's game gave this writer the Impression that the lacrosse moguls are barking up the wrong tree in their endeavor to stop the physical combat that crops up during the games, that is, as far as N'anaimo fans are concerned. During the fracas between Skip Mackay and Whitey Sever-son, 2.160 wild eyed fans were screeching for blood as the battle raged. Two cute little numbers were overheard to remark: "Boy, oh boy, this is what we to see." Many fans expressed disappointment when the referees broke up the fray and escorted the players to the penalty box. Injuries to key players continues to dog Labatts and if Freddy Fulla is forced to sit out tonight's game prospects for a win against the well-rested Vancouver club aren't too bright. The locals will be ithout the services of Spud Morelli who will have to sit out the game misconduct assessed against him during the Carling-Labatt game' here in Nanaimo May 23.

Gerry Shires, young rookie goaltender who so ably.filled Fulla's shoes Saturday night may have to take over net duties once again. NANAIMO STOCKERS didn't fare so well at the Western Speedway in Victoria. Hank Neilsen and Oscar Taylor managed to get second place finishes in a couple of the heats. Dick Varley, who has been the centre of a heated controversy with his speedy bus, won his third straight main event, nosing out Dave Cooper for the coveted spot. Varley also won the trophy dash and was prevented from making a clean sweep when Cooper whipped him in the first heat.

WHEATLEY Canadian Press Staff Writer MONTREAL (CP) The first grab-fest on the agenda of the National. Hockey League's annual meeting comes up today with expectations that pickings will be poor. The price is $20,000 per player from the Western Hockey League, and at that figure nobody has worked up much of a sweat. More important, among. hockey men gathered here from Canada and the United States, was the fate" of the Quebec Hockey League and the possible hook-up of two QHL clubs with the big brother pf the minors, the Am eric an Hockey League.

General manager-coach Imlach of Toronto Maple Leafs said he is willing to go in for wholesale swaps, bt nobody so far has offered enough. I ml a hi said he is prepared to put de-fencemen Noel Price and Mara Reaume and brother forward Brian and Barry Cullen on the trading block, but he won'tioo" ject them to the draft. There were also report that general manager Jack Adams Detroit Red Wings is willing- to deal off Alex Delvecchio, but wants solid, proven talent in return. Rumors had it that Dollard St.

Laurent, one time Montreal defenceman who went to Chicago a year ago, it ticketed for batters complely. His change-up pitch was working to perfection. Commercials pushed over the first run in the third inning when Hollett beat out a bunt, was sacrificed to second and scored on Endridge's single. Both teams failed to make any headway in the next three innings as the players were set down in order. Willgress made a particularly fine running over the shoulder catch against Commercial's Carmichael in the sixth.

The commission "severely Vancouver's Bill Montreal Royals and Quebec Aces to come into the fold. NO AGREEMENT Meanwhile, the AHL Is still without a working agreement with the NHL. This situation may be clarified during the current meetings, before the AHL holds its annual get-together in a couple of weeks. Without this agreement, the AHL cannot draft Irom the WHL or the QHL.

Nor can the NHL draft from the AHL, a situation the top-ranking minor circuit has long held to be just and proper. The big intra-league draft of NHL clubs is scheduled for Wednesday. It is also a $20,000 deal and its importance could be dwarfed by deals or trades. The clubs have until 5 p.m. today to name their protected players 18 plus two goalies who are not subject to the draft.

(Bull Hancock of the Claiborne Farm tried to sell a young colt for $5,000.

There were no takers, so he raced the horse himself. The colt is Baghdad, now a three year old, who eventually was sold for an undisclosed sum and will be a starter in the Belmont Stakes Saturday at Belmont Park. Baghdad, running for Howard B. Keck of Los Angeles, has plenty of backers ho think he'll give Sword Dancer, Royal Orbit and Black IliUs trouble in the finale of the Kentucky Derby-Preakness-Belmont triple crown. Last -Saturday in the Peter Pan.

Baghdad seemed a sure winner at the head of the stretch as he passed Black Htlls. But he faltered and finished second. Mrs. Hahna Braunslein's Royal Orbit, winner of the Preakness, finished third. 'I have to give him another shot at them in the Belmont," trainer Joe Dunn said Monday.

"The Peter Pan was only his third start of the year and, he's not very seasoned. He just was outrun Saturday by a better horse. But it remains to be seen whether Black Hills will be a better horse in the Belmon'."
