NEW YORK (AM—Stan Mus- nine points.‘ « ial, Richie Ashburn, Hank Aaron and Willie Mays, the players al- most everyone figured would be in the thick of the competition for

y the National League batting title, are waging one of the most in- tcresting battles in the history of the circuit. .

Harvey Kuenn, Pete Runnels, Vic Power and Bob Oerv, the players almost no one figured on, are doing the same thing in the American League.

A week ago, Musial, the seven- time champion, led Ashburn by? five points, Aaron by 19 and Mays by 21. Since then Musial has dropped eight points and Ash- hurn four while Aaron and Mays have put the heat on the leaders.

Aaron and Mays each collected 15 hits in 32 times at bat last week and boosted their averages

What a show those two trotters, Lady— Lakeburn and Pala— cona put on for race patrons at the Colt Stakes Monday night. It was something that the (racing public won’t forget for a long time to come. . v

Fans had expected quite a demonstration by the Lakeburn

" mare but they hadn’t counted on the game display that was to be provided by the 4-year-old Palacona. ' ,

Both miles were terrific and when you consider that these times were rung up at Colt Stakes they are all the more amaz- ing. The first was in 2.11:3, with the last 'half in 1.03:3, a sen- sational clip for four-year-olds; The second mile was 2.09:1, fas- ter than most ﬂee-for-allers have been giving us this season.

Drivers Myron MacArthur and Horace Willis surely got areal, hand from the cash customers for their all-out drives and al- though there was no‘r betting on either miles, even the pari- mutuel mined folkswere roaring their approval. .

If anyone had gone to Charlottetown Driving Park expecting to see Palacona hopelessly outclassed, they .« certainly received quite a surprise. Both miles were races all (the way and an- nouncer ‘Duck’ Acorn informed the folks that Palacona’s mile the second time out was inside 2.10. ‘

Lady Lakeburn has been purchased by Island parties, Mapco Stables and George Brookins‘ now being the proud owners. Race fans everywhere will be wishing the new owners plenty of suc- cess with their great trotter and they’ll also be watching Hor- ace Willis’s Palacona who made the big trot-tar go all out to rack up her victories in the Colt Stakes.

Loads of success to both of them. at * * all *

Anthony Seeks A Heavyweight Ranking Tonight

~ SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AH—Tony Anthony makes a bid for a.) rank- ing in boxing’s heavyweight divi- sion and his fifth straight victory tonight in a Ill-round bout wth Archie McBride of Trenton, N.J. The 24-year-old New Yorker al- ready is a top contender in the light heavyweight class, but it’s no secret that. the punching stylist would like a chance at Floyd Pat- terson’s heavyweight title. To his credit he has 27 knockouts, seven wins on points, one draw and five defeats.

McBride, 27, has won 21, in- cluding eight knockouts, and lost 13.

McBride is considered a spoiler whose only ring fault is his i-n- activity. He has fought the bed in the.division, but in 11 years has metonly 34 opponents:

, Since losing to Archie Moore in a light heavyweight title ,match last September,’ Anthony has knocked out four light heavy— weights.

McBride’s last fight was Dec. 12 wh he lost to Ingemar Johanss n, E u r o p e a n heavy- weight champion.

Anthony turned professional in 1952 after a fruitless trip to the Olympics in Helsinki. He failed to

Lefty Dunn gave baseball fans quite an ,exhibition of relief hurling at Memorial Field Sunday aternoon. The fine pitching of- Dunn went for nothing as Icgionaires couldn’t get enough runs of John Bethel to grab the win and close out the juniors’ series with Summerside. However they accomplish that feat on Monday behind the strong arm pitching of Roger MacLeod.

MacLeod in winning Monday’s battle over the MacLellan Pontiacs made in four triumphs in five appearances, against the westerners. He lost a 7-6 verdict at Memorial Field on Sunday August 24. That one, too, he could have had if the Legionaires had been a bit sharper on the base paths. v

However although terminating the series in six games, the Legionaires didn’t have anything too much to crow about. Every game they won was in doubt until the very last out and most df the time Brian Lewis’s boys had to come off the floor to snatch their verdicts. The losing Pontiacs gave it everything they could muster and John Bethel had the satisfaction of stopping

City Approves Bond Issue To . 'Entice Nuts

the Legionaires on two occasions.

Home diamonds meant nothing to these juniors. We stated in a column some time ago that young players very often performed better away from home. These juniors proved the truth of this statement. Legionaires won three of their four games at summerside and the Pontiacs grabbed both their triumphs at Memorial Field.

But getting back to Lefty Dunn, this pint-sized hurler show- ed Brian Lewis plenty in his seven inning relief chore Sunday. He blanked the Pontiacs and allowed the Summerside lads just three safeties. Fans liked what they ,saw and it’s a safe bet that Brian did too.

Nice going Lefty. You didn’t pick up a win but you did show 1

clear field to seek American League permission to move the Washington franchise. "

Summerside’s Civic Stadium manager is a fellow who doesn’t believe in letting things stay quiet for an length of time.

The genial Charlie Hogan is at it again—thh time a stellar boxing card slated for Tuesday night ,September 9th.

Charlie really has a humdinger lined up and if it’s fast and furious action the folks want, Hogan is ready to serve it up in abundance come next Tuesday. '

He has been successul in obtaining two ‘old' foes for his ten- round feature. They are Gaston Roy and Roy ‘Tigezr’ Steele who have fended so often in Island rings in the past. Every time these boys have clashed the tempo was furious and you can bet your last dollar it will be even greater when they meet at Civic Stadium next Tuesday. _

In his semi-final, Charlie has come up with a real grudge match with Doug ‘Slugger’ Turnbull of New Glasgow facing Summerside’s Walter ‘Peanuts’ Arsenault in an eight «rounder, This has promise of being a blood-thirsty affair. A six-round ‘special’ is also on the action-packed card and Young ‘Tiger’ Steele and Carl Arsenault will be the participants. In addition to all’of this, Jim Poulton of Charlottetown and Double Arsen- ault of Summerside will square of in a curtain raiser.

It looks like a really great night or fight fans and Civic Stadium should have its largest crowd in a long, long time.

See you at the fights.

Jack Kane looks‘to be the best long ball hitter to come out of Charlottetown since Whitlock’s heyday. In Summerslide Saturday he would have had three home runs but‘for sharp fielding on the part of the Pontiac outfield. He hit one four-bagger. Don Gillis grabbed another of his long flies at the edge of the grass, and a quick, accurate throw to home plate nipped him on a third o‘c- casron. , ‘

very consistent, as was Les Gaudet of Summerside, and Jim- mie McAleei' wasn’t porrtsid‘ing them in. Of late years Summer- side has had a few boys who could belt one over the fence forJ you if you ma a lot of patience. Gard Grady, Maurice Cannon and Neil Walker are three that come to mind in that regard. But Whit- lock and Gaudet were mean-er in the clutch than at. any other time. This boy Kane looks to be another of the same breed. Winning two ball games in Charlottetown was quite a feat (for young John Bethel. That he should win two on consecutive days was hardly to be expected, so he did falter on his third trip out. The kid looks like a real

_prospect, there isn’t any doubt

about that. But Roger MacLeod was just too hefty for the Pon-

i-n the H and D. Summersi‘de would have been a shoo in for the title.

Anyway it was a really exciting series with most of the games nip and tuck affairs. There was some pretty good ball dished out mixed in with a few weird bob-

‘ bles. Taking everythinginto con-

sideration, we think the crowds liked the brand of entertainment, and we hope the boys will get organized .a,‘ little earlier next year. .

We received a letter from the Springhill Cubs recently with ten names signed to it so we suppose that makes it unanimous. They state they agree with our column wholeheartedly, which surprised us a little. We figured they’d be with us in our remarks about the Summersidé pitcher’s balk, and the decision at second base, but what about that call at the plate, fellows? Mean to say you agreed with that too? You disagreed with considerable huffing and puffing at the time of the call, remem- ber? The Springhill boys say they were surprised at the amount of abuse our umpires take, throw- ing bats against the screen, pro- fane language, etc. There again we see eye to eye. They also state that. although it was only an exhibition game, they thought they deserved a better fate. There. fellows, we’ve printed your beefs as you requested.

Our Summerside Little Lea- guers had a fine outing in Mone- ton and enjoyed themselves im- mensely, we think. They were un- lucky enough to be pitted against Glace Bay at the very outset, and

Now let us take a look at Fox- boro, Mass. .for races last Thurs- d, ; night. The track was heavy, so the times were slower than usual. Last week we mentioned where Danny Steele had won a third. place with Betsy’s Boy in a field of eight, and now we are pleased to report that Danny won the “C” Trot with Betsy’s Boy, purse $600, from a good field.

Danny started his racing career as a 16-year-old boy at Summer- side, and in a few years was lead- ing driver here. His campaign with the Island-bred pacer, Bob Mac. was a winning one wherever he started. Bob was bred and raised by the MacPherson bro- thers of North River,
