The finals for the Junior Baseball, championship of Prince
Edward Island open this afternoon at the home of the King’s
County representatives, Mount Stewart, _with Brian lLewis’s
Charlottetown Legionaires the other party in the tussle.

King’s County boys are venturing into a new’ field this sea-
son when they compete for top junior baseball honors in the
province. We are not in a position to compare the merits of to-
day’s opponents but the Legionaires should. be favourites after
their tough series with Summerside MacLellan Pontiacs.

We don’t want the good folks of King’s to get us wrong. We
are not sugesting that better ball players come out of Queén’s or
Prince as compared with King’s. Indeed’ this eastern section of
the province has produced; a great number of pretty capable -play-
ers and they are. continuing to produce them. See

We do think however that in this series the Mount Stewart

‘lads will have a hard time indeed upsetting the Legionaires.

Mount Stewart's invasion in the junior circle is an experiment—
but an experiment that is indeed welcome as far as baseball is
conce: . There is no reason, whatsoever, that the juniors. in
King’s y should pass up a chance to get a crack at the Is-
land’s junior baseball crown. is seat i pane a
This will probably not be the year that the championship goes
down King’s way but if the idea of junior ball is continued in this

area, it shouldn’t be too long before King’s County has a winner.

Mind you this could be the year, but the odds, are against
such an occurence. We feel the baseball public of King’s don’t ex:

pect things to happen that quickly.

Mount Stewart and Legionaires renew their feud Sunday after-
neon at Memorial Field. ee :

Halifax, a real hotbed for hockey when the St. Mary’s and

Atlantics clubs were in business, is trying to get something start-

ed in the way of senior hockey.

Right now John Mullane and H. R. ‘Nick’ Nicholson are on a
Maritime tour which they hope ‘will drum up interest in a senior
league. Mullane was one of the guiding lights of the Halifax
Wolves that represented Halifax in senior circles since the death

of the Big Four. Nobody seemed to care whether this independent

club won or lost and the Wolves’ backers naturally can’t see
much future continuing this way. Hence the Maritime tour.

What success Mullane and Nicholson will have, we wouldn’t
venture a guess. We do know that these who have had senior
hockey on a large scale will be mighty cautious before going along
with any new plans.

Here in Charlottetown, Sports Arena manager Earl Nicholson
knew nothing about the tour of the Halifax sportsmen. Earl didn’t
appear too interested and no one could blame him after the way
the Ambherst-Summerside-Charlottetown loop. blew up last sea-

son. A

Charlie Howah, Civie Stadium manager in Summerside, said
the Halifax idea was new to him. Personally, Charlie felt that
Summerside wouldn’t be interested even if‘approached by Mullane
and Nicholson. Like the Sports Arena, Civic Stadium has un-
pleasant memories of last season’s senior loop and Hogan and
his associates certainly found it a poor business proposition.

Two. seasons ago the City League, which included Summer-
side, packed them in for the playoffs and the overhead wasn’t
too heavy. That was the year that Summerside upset the apple
eart and grabbed all the marbles. é j

If anthing near that kind of interest could be revived, then
we can’t see Charlottetown or Summerside getting mixed up
with a league that will involve travel to the mainland,

Those trips’ are costly affairs.

Which is the more valuable horse, Nashua or Gallant Man?

Leslie Coombs, Lexington, Kentucky, breeder figures it’s Gal-
fant Man. \

: Coombs ‘is the gentleman who headed the group that paid
$1,251,200 for Nashua in 1955. That was before Nashua retired as
the top money winner with earnings of $1,288,565..

This week he again headed a syndicate that bought a three-
quarter interest in Gallant Man and on a comparative basis the
price was greater. It was a cool one million bucks. To date the
four-year-old has winnings of $510,355. If the Texas oilman, Ralph
Lowe had sold all his interest in Gallant Man, the price would
have topped $1,300,000.. : !

Gallant Man will finish out this season and then retire to
the stud at Coombs’ Spendthrift farm.

Philadelphia farm executive, Jim Gallagher, doesn’t agree
with the theory that Birdie Tebbetts got himself into trouble by
trading away his power.

Says Gallagher: “‘All that power the Redlegs gave up wasn’t
so much. The guys who hurt Birdie Tebbetts were the ones he
banked on, Frank Robinson hasn’t been hitting, for instance, Gus
Bell hasn’t been having a good year, Then there’s that infield, I’ve
been scouting the Reds recently and maybe I don’t know what
Ym talking about, or the lights deceived me. The impression:
I’ve got is that Cincinnati’s middle infield hasn’t ‘been able to do
the job—a step in this direction, one in another. I’m not sug-
gesting that Roy MacMillan and Johnny Temple are over the hill.
Cincinnati used to get ‘em; now they don’t.’

There appears to- be much logic in Mr. Gallagher’s observa-
tion. : Fase ;

Who is the best hurler on Casey Stengel’s staff?

You could probably get several answers to that question and
all of them would sound fairly reasonable. But Cleveland man-
ager, Joe Gordon, thinks there is only one answer.

*

Joe has no doubt; whatsoever and puts his answer this way: | Montreal
“Whitey Ford is the best pitcher in basqball. If I had him he’d | Rochester

win 30 games because he’d be pitching every fourth day. The
Yankees just don’t need him that often.”
That’s a mouthful, Mr. Gordon

This season’s racing programs
of the Cape Breton Turf Club
have been the greatest in years
with top attendance and pari-
moutuels clicking merrily. Aubrey
Keizer gives the credit to presi-
dent Ralph DeYoung and. other
Turf Club officials, who were
determined to make the 1958 sea-
son the big one.

Last Monday night’s program
saw Richland, a black 12-year
old pacing gelding owned by
Ernie Smith of Sydney, driven by
his son Dave Smith, winning both
ends of the feature event, times
2.13 and 2.12 3-5. Here are some of
the pari-mutuel payoffs: $41.40,
$20.50; $11.00; $106.80 (daily dou-
ble); $121.40 (exactor),

Red’s King, winner of the se-
eond and sixth races, as shown
above, has a license to be a real
pacer, as he is by King’s Counsel
1.58, and his dam was Dominion
Queen, 4, 2.06, by Dominion Grai-
tan 1.59. Last year he made se-
ven starts and won one.of them
at Foxborovin a ‘‘C’ Pace, Purse
9600, in 2.13 4-5. He also won one
third place, and the yearbook
charges him with $330 in win-
nings.

We looked up the breeding of
Lorna J., winner of the first and
fourth dashes, and we find that
she iS seven years old and is by
Abner T. Clegg 2.04%, that won-
derful sire that passed away las‘
year. As a five-year-old she took
a record of 2.14 2-5. Falcourt He-
ro Mine, winner of maces 3 and 7
is by the local sire Hero Mine,
that has sired several good ones.

Last year he took a record
of 2.14 and had a record 0° 8
firsts, one second and one third.
His success, as shown above, will
be pleasing, we are sure, to our
friend John McLeod of Yarmouth.
