Mod Sod Becomes Factor In Sports Pitching

Art Spinney, former Colts lineman and Patriots coach, now sells Poly-Turf for American Biltrite Rubber. He touts synthetic field surfaces as safer, wear-resistant, and cost-saving, noting its use in projects like the Orange Bowl. Spinney values his game instincts in sales and recalls knee injuries from natural sod.

Bruins Schedule Far From Favorable

Boston trails in the NHL East with six games left and must win at least two on the road to contend for first place. The Bruins face New York, Detroit, Montreal and Toronto away from home, with poor road records and tough road tests ahead, while Montreal, Chicago and Detroit push for the lead. Coach Sinden cautions that even two losses could end their title hopes.

Conigliaro Returns as Red Sox Edge Astros 3-2

Tony Conigliaro returned to action for the Red Sox in a spring game against Houston, going the full nine innings and going 1-for-4 with a hard-hit ball. Sonny Siebert struggled in five innings, allowing all three Astros runs on nine hits and four walks. Ed Phillips and Sparky Lyle closed the game, while manager Eddie Kasko noted Siebert’s improving second and third stints and said Boston plans to keep 11 pitchers, including four lefties, at season start. Conigliaro, sidelined by a fractured rib, said he felt surprisingly good and regained “zip” once the game began.

Boston Patriots Homeless After Council Rejection

Boston Patriots president Bill Sullivan returned home to learn the City Council killed BRA stadium legislation in Neponset, ending the fight for a 55,000 seat home.
