with three encounters already on the postponed list Rovers and Anchors of the City Basebali Lea- gue will make another attempt to

have a g0 of it again tonight and if the weatherman is at all favorable the two bitter ball riv- als should furnish quite a battle of it.

A win is important to each. Rovers in on unaccustomed trail- ing position can tie Legion for the second section lead while the An- chors are faced with the some op- portunity. That makes it certain that no punches will be pulled and the squads providing they can perform up to their highest stand- ards should produce some sparkling defensive work and long range walloping.

Definitely on the road book to better health John "Tacky" Whit- lock was an interested spectator at s. recent city Baseball League encounter the other night. It was 300d to see the slim baseball and hockey star of s. few seasons back after a. lengthy stay in hospital and Tsrky who has won many l. fight on the ice lanes and baseball diamonds by sheer spirit and ag- gressiveness is now winning the more important one against ill health.

‘Porky’: playing days may be over for the present but his interest in anything athletic is still as keen as aver. Naturally the ball game was the first place he went to on the same day as he was discharg- Qd Ind hi! Will likely be a familiar figure for the balance of the soa- son. And the same hrky will be able to impart a. lot of advice to the younger bail players now break- ing in for he used to play a lot of blleblll omund the middle sack and despite his slight poundage could hammer the pellet to all corners of the lot.

For the second year in a. row Cecil Dowlfng junior Belvedere aoif star saw the N.B.-P.E.I. title slip from his grasp when he suc- cumbed in the second round to the brilliant shotmaking of Bert Balch the new champion. But in defeat the young golfer looked and as a member of the Willingdon Cup team that travels to Quebec later on he should add plenty of strength to the N. B.-P.E.I.

a bit of difference. Joe isn't old enough to remember when they imported France's “Orchid Man." Georges Carpentier, to fight Jack Dempsey. .

Gorgeous George was better known by reputation than Tand- bergwbut as an opponent for Dempsey he was so weak they made him do his (raining in secret. Nevertheless. that 1921 fight at Jersey City drew boxing's first mil- lion dollar gate. The public paid $1,789,238 and Promote: Tex Rick- nrd almost threw a fit for fear the bout would end so quickly the fans would start a riot.

Tandberg. of course, will prob- ably be given the run-around but tve'd still be willing to wager that a fightbetween he and Innis would attract a gate pretty close to the

million mark.

Wins From Dougan

Surging back from a five count knockdown in the first round Wallace McLeod of Sydney, NS, last night successfully defended his Maritime heavyweight boxing title when he scored a. technical knockout. over Billy Shaw of Montreal after two minutes and 10 seconds of fighting in the third round. referee Danny McCormack stopping the scrap with Shaw flat on his back after getting back on his feet from four previous knockdowns.

It was the main event of the boxing card staged at the Forum. witnessed by only a small crowd of fans the bout from the opening bell on turned into a. hard-hitting toe to toe slugging affair between two perfectly conditioned‘ mitt artists. Wasting little time as the bell sent them to the centre of the ring the pair traded punches to the face with McLeod going down in his own corner from a. swinging right hand punch to the jaw. Up at the count of five ii! appeared to be early curtains for the Sydney boy as his opponent scored continually with rights to the heed but the champion man- aged to hang on and kept out of the way of the fast, hard punching show.

But the tide of battle turned sharply in the opening seconds of the second round. McLeod caught Shaw coming in with a couple of left hooks to the mid section with the former being shaken up by an- other rignthand wallop by the Montrealer but suddenly McLeod let go with sn overhand right and Show kissed the canvas for an eight count. He was just back on his feet when a left hook to the stomach sent him down again. Coming off the floor fighting mad Shaw stung McLeod with a. bar- rage of rights and lefts but just at the bell McLeod crossed over a right to the jaw that sent the challenger down for the third time.

They traded blows to the head and body in the first ten seconds of the third but McLeod again took the upper hand to send Show out through the ropes with a they come Shaw got up again but ran into a left to the stomach and as his hands dropped McLeod whiatled over the right hand once more and the unprotected Mont- real boy toppled straight on his back. There was no need of a count as Referee Dan McCormack raised McLeodb hand in token of victory.

Peterson Wins Decision

In a gruelling, savage punching affair “Big Boy" Peterson, Island heavyweight champion won a split decision over Blair Dougan in a scrap that had the fans in a. frenzy from the third round on. In the first round Dougan, doing the forcing landed to the body with Peterson countering with smashes to the face in the even milling.

Starting to press more Peterson worked faster in the second to send over several smashing blows to the face as he weathered some stiff body punches thrown by his opponent. Throughout the third Peterson again forced matters with hard right hand wallops but Dougan earned a draw as he came back in the final minute to stop Peterson short with damag- ing punches to the body.

Peterson was shaken up again in the fourth as Dougan fired homo whistling left hooks that hurt but failed to bring down the champion. Peterson came back to take the fifth heat as he scored with overhand smashes to the body. Peterson made certain of the verdict in tho sixth and final round. With both mixing it freely Peterson again slugged. Dougan with a right hand wallop in the chin and the latter retaliated at (he bell with a body punch that halted the champion! onward surge.

Bud Lund came back to the ring wars after a two months ab- sence to hang a second round kayo on Kid Gregory after a min- ute and 34 seconds of scrapping in the round. Lund staving off Greg- ory's opening rush took control right away to open a cut over his opponent's left eye duflng the heat. ‘The end came quickly in the sec- ond. Lund caught Gregory in a neutral corner with a flurry of punches to put him on the can- m for a one count. Gregory was just back on his feet when Lund come in again and this time three smashing uppcrcuts ended the scrap, Gregory not making a move as the final count was toll- rd over him.

"Tiger" Steele had too much ammunition and punching power for Charlie Lund in a l-round go. Both spurred at long range in the even opening round.,Bteel started to adjust his sights throughout. the second scoring with n couple of solid uppercuts. In the third Steel's advantage was even more marked as he landed rights and lofts to have Lund bleeding at the nose at the boil. Lund. started hi h the fourth only to run into

Sp... Echoes from

Prince County

The town of Summerside ls pret- ty proud of its ball team. The lo- cal All-Stars visited Charlottetown over the week-end and defeated an Ail-Star aggregation from that ciw by the rather ddclllvl IQ! of IO to I.

coo

Of course it must be admitted that one or two of Charlottetown! ace flingers were unable to partici- pate in the contest, but even when you take this into consideration it will have to be conceded by all ball fans that the Summerside out- fit will have at least an even chance to cop the Island title.

O O

In the field the western nine played almost flawless ball. and one catch by young Brawley in centre field was as pretty a per- formance as we've seen in many a moon. The ball was hit by Wil- liams, Charlottetown third base- man, and went soaring to right centre field. Bill Allen moved over to make the catch but it was evi- dent that the apple was going in clear him by a couple of yards. Then Brawley, centre fielder on the local alrforce team, galloped into the picture behind Allen and made a leaping catch at the ball which landed in his outstretched glove.

Gil Williams, southpaw from Summerslde, was the winning pitch- er. Gil was erratic and unrelia- ble at the start of the season but is studying down and has now won the last two ball games he pitched. Electing to pitch. lo the redoubtable Whitlock with men on second and third prevented. his registering a. shutout as Buck poll- ed out one of those rather fre- quent homo runs of his, and Char- iottetowns only tallies crossed the plate.

not

The ball Whitlock hit was well tagged and went to deep, very deep right field. We've seen Buck hi: two home runs before and both landed in about the some spot, comparatively speaking. for one was hit in Summerside against the local All-Stars last year, and the other in Charlottetown against Sprlnghlll.

The race for the batting cham- pionship in the Summerside League is so close that the lead changes almost every game. First Carson. big Airforce first sacker, led the parade, then "Boo" Morrison. short stop for the Red Box, took over, now at. the moment, "Bods" team mate. Bobby Schurman, is out in front just four percentage points ahead "of Carson. We wouldn't care to predict who'll be leading the way in a dey‘or.two.

O

Dr. Grant. Summersidc physician and brother of Vince Grant of the Kinsmen, has put up s beautiful cup for the winner of this year's batting championship snd take it from us it's going to be a battle royal before the winner ls decided. Grand River wonthe first game of the Prince County RWW- The? defeated the Tignish team iri Ti:- nish by the score of 14 to 6. An- other game has been played, we believe, between Wellington and Grand River at Grand River but we haven't had any information as to the winner of that one as vet. An all-star team has been picked from these three teams and this aggregation will enter the play-offs for the Island intermedi- ate championship.
