Tigers Losing Streak
Run 10 6 as Yanks'
Page Hits Homer
By the Associofed Press

NEW YORK, May 4.-The New
York Yankes handed the world
champion Detroit Tigers their sixth
straight setback today when Lefty
Joe Page hit an eighth-inning home
run to win his own game, 4-3, before
a crowd of $4,000 chilled and damp
ened fans.
Page needed assistance from old
Johnny Murphy in the ninth to
record his first victory of the sea-
son. Murphy, making his first post
war appearance after two years
work in an atomic bomb plant,
took the mound when the Tigers
had two on base and none out.
The veteran fireman famed
Skeeter Webb and, after walking
Eddie Lake to load the bases, forced
Jimmy Outlaw to bounce into a
game-ending double-play.
Joe Di Maggie hit his fifth homer
of the season in the fourth inning
off Stubby Overmire, with man
on base, to account for the first two
Yankee runs. Charley Keller's
double and Nick Etten's single added
another run in that session.
Page frequently was in trouble
giving up a run in the first and third
innings and another in the eighth
when Hank Greenberg's double
scored the tying run. The Tigers
Dick Wakefield was forced to retire
with badly bruised wrist, after
being hit by q pitched ball in the
third frame.

Trio Of Giant Homers
Defeat Cubs in Cold
BY the Associoied Press

CHICAGO, May 4.-The Giants
broke loose with three home runs
today to back up the flve-hit pitch
ing of young Monte Kennedy and
defeat the Cubs, 5-1, in 42-degree
weather.
Johnny Mize and Ernie (Schnoz-
zle) Lombardi were the big guns
in the artillery attack the Giants
launched against the Cubs Ray
Prim. Mize smashed two homers
and Lombardi had a homer, double
and single.
Harry Peanuts) Lowrey started
the scoring when he slashed one of
Kennedy's pitches into the left
field stands in the third, but Mize
hit the first pitch of the fourth
into almost the same spot.
After four scoreless innings, Mize
sent another of Prim's offerings
over the right field bleachers and
lombard followed with homer
into the center field stands.

switches to a southpaw, however
Bluege will counter by inserting
three more right-handed hitters.
Hope of viewing Bob Feller, who
registered a no-hit victory over the
Yankees earlier in the week. in the
current series was dissipated yester-
day when the Indians speed spe-
clalist pitched against Boston. While
that may be a disappointment to
local fans, the Mats are expressing
no regret.
Bluege's lineup against the next
left-handed pitcher to start against
the Mats will include Rookie Ray
Goolsby in left field, Gil Torres at
third base and Jack Sanford at first
base, replacing George Binks, Sherry
ROBERTSON and Mickey Vernon, re-
spectively.
Leonard Returning to Hill.
Jerry Priddy, who is batting 321,
will be moved into the cleanup spot
against left-handers in a batting
order which will read: Goolsby, If;
Buddy Lewis, RI; Stan Spence, CT;
Pr,ddy, 2b; Sanford, 1b; Cecil Trav-
is, SIS; Al Evans, C, and Torres, 3b.
In today's tussle the seventh
place Mats will rely on Dutch Leon
ard to give them a better brand of
pitching than they've been receiving
recently. Leonard has been out of
action for two weeks with a pulled
leg muscle. When last viewed he
was shutting out the Yankees with
two hits for six innings before being
forced to leave the game.
The Washington management an
nounced yesterday that the night
game scheduled with Cleveland to-
morrow has been switched to day
light game starting at 3 o'clock, in
line with a directive issued by the
Public Utilities Commission to con-
serve power.
Other Night Dates Stand.
Tsle Mats also have night games
scheduled with Cleveland on Tues
day and Detroit on Wednesday, but
shifting of those tilts to daytime
is held up pending possible early
settlement of the coal strike. Should
those games also be switched to day.
light, the Mats will not play their
first night game at Griffith Stadium
until June against Detroit.
Rained out of game with ST.
Louis here yesterday, the Mats have
been promised clear and warm
weather today. All reserved grand
stand seats have been sold, but a
few box seats are available as well
as plenty of general admission seats.

Argentina Disayows
peron Charge Of Arms
Smuggling by U. 5.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 5.-Asser-
tions by Col. Juan D. Peron, candi-
date for the presidency of Argentina
that the United States was impli-
Gated in smuggling arms to his po-
litical enemies have been disavowed
by the Argentine government.
The Foreign Office made public q
reply sent yesterday to American
Charge d'Affaires John Cabot which
said the government had no evil
dence to support Peron's statement
Mr.. Cabot, acting on instructions
from Washington, had requested a
public statement from the govern
ment in the matter.
1T would be improper to attribute
to the government any responsible
ity," the Foreign Office said, since
Peron, a former Vice President, had
resigned from the government and
the army before making his state
ment and thus had liberty of action
and expression"
Labor Office Voided.
The Argentine Supreme Court
ruled yesterday that the powerful
regional Offices of the Secretariat
of Labor Welfare, set up two years
ago under Peron, were unconstitu-
tional. The decision evoked imme-
diate protest from the military gov
ernment.
A communique issued by Capt.
Hector Russo, present Secretary of
Labor, asserted it was unusual" for
the Supreme Court to wait until 20
days before a presidential election
before finding the regional Offices a
violation of provincial rights. The
election, in which Peron is a candi-
date for the presidency, is sched-
uled February "a.
Peron, when he was Vice Presi-
dent and Secretary of Labor, set up
the Secretariat of Labor and So
cial Welfare, outlawed many old
line unions, created new unions, and
from these built up the nucleus of
the Labor party he represents in
the forthcoming election. His op-
ponents have charged the regional
offices were in reality political agen-
cles whose employees worked openly
on behalf of Peron's candidacy.
Rights Violated.
The court ruled that the offices
set up by the secretariat in various
sections of the country constituted
violation of rights which belonged
exclusively to provincial govern
ments rather than to the national
government.
Russo's communique asserted that
the courts decision brought "indig-
nant protests from the working
classes, who asked me for protection
against what they describe as an at
tack on their rights, motivated by
reasons which, they contend, lack
juridical basis"
He said he had counseled union
leaders to avoid violence in express
ing their protests against the courts
action.
The newspaper La Prensa praised
the court, saying the military gov
ernment long had been guilty Of in
vading provincial and municipal
rights for political purposes.
Laborista, organ of the Labor
party, said the tribunals verdict
seemed inspired by the Argentine
land-owning oligarchy."

thrown down the gantlet in Mr..

Back from the wars, ready to
make the race for the United States

Walsh, Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., OF

forum for warm plea for interna-

agreement with Russia.
Mr.. Lodge did not 60 as far as Mr..
Stassen, who vends internationalisrn

of it over the counter to have scan
dalized his late grandfather for

He advocated: UNO control Of
the atomic bomb as the prime OBJ
jective of our foreign policy, an ef1i-
cient working arrangement with
Russia, generous America helping
other lands, strengthened UNO, a
demilitarized ermany and a
strongly prepared America at home.
It was a definite bid for the ma
tional spotlight, and Mr.. Lodge, quite
properly, made sure it was noticed
by sending it to friends among the
press corps here to which he used to
belong.
