To Two Games With 10-2 Win Over Knights

Iodine up e closely-waged en- counter with s vicious betting st- teek in the last half of the fifth innings, Charlie Ryan's Reece Juniors lest night added to .thelr lesd in the City Junior Baseball League by defeating the Knights of Columbus squad 10-2 in e five end I half inning tussle.

The Reoce uprising saw them score seven times before being re- tired. with Red I-lowatt. centre- flelder of the winners walloping two triples in his two trips to the plate in the same frame. The scoring burst put the ga-me well beyond the reach of the hard- working Knights and also put a decided crimp into their chances for making the playoff circle.

Reece struck early for the first run. combining a double, two sin- gles end an error for a run in the bottom half of the first inning. Knlflhts roared back with the equalizer in the second. two er- Iors and s. single sending Plnean lanes the plate.

flngle counters in the third and fourth without a return from their wponents gave the winners e 8-1 margin entering the fifth but the Knights got right back into the thick of the fight as Mc- Neilli walloped a triple and then came racing home as Recce threw slwsy I. double killing with a bad. error on McDonald's easy infield

out.

Si! hits that. included two triples and a double marked the winners‘ big surge in the fifth. Eleven hitters strode to the plate during the uprising with the Knights siding their opponents by throwing in an error, a passed ball and s. wild pitch. The final three runs of the inning were od the unearned variety.

Donnie McLean. sporting e great pitching record for the sca- son. hurled a three-hitter at the Knights last night while striking out eight batters. The slim right- hender was in control most of the way, retiring the side in or- der in all but the second and fifth frames.

Burke went the distance for the lovers. For four innings his south- ps/w slants had the hard-hitting Reece crew buffaloed but the winners found the range in the flfth to earn their margin of vic-

The power that has kept them at the top of the league standing ever since the league got underway s- grin made itself felt last night as

Euecce juniors blasted out a 10-2 victory over the Knights of Colum- bus in s scheduled junior league encounter. The victory moved the Ryan-coached crew two full games ln front of the pack and practical-

ly ruined the chances of the Knights of making a playoff spot. x x x x

Knights can still force s tie with the Kinsmen by winning all them remaining games while the Kins men are losing all theirs but i’. is \ery doubtful if this will happen. Last night the Knights gave ax.- other of their all-out efforts brat as has been the case all season ore bad inning caught up with them that led to their defeat.

x x x x

But too much credit cannot be handed to the Knights for the magnificent manner in which they fought out every game on their schedule. Underdogs all the way ‘hrough they made their opponents hustle and hustle hard all the wav and several of their losses could have easily gone the other tray had the “breaks" come their way.

x x x x

However a mathematical chance still exists for them and 1t still may be too early to write their baseball obituary. They have two games to play with the Kinsmen and one with the Reece and al-

ficult one the teams they face will certainly realize they have been in a ball game.

The race for league leadership is silll wide open and bears out early predictions that it would be a bat- tle right to the wire. Kinsmen can still edge out in front by three straight wins while the Recce arc losing one of their remaining two but the story of the league will unfold next Monday night sthcr. the two leaders clash in their last. scheduled tussle of the league.

The City Leaguers go at it e- galn this evening with Millionaires and Rovers clashing. Millionaires, like the Knights have a slim chance of still making the playoff grade and if they can shade the North- cnd crew tonight will keep their hopes alive.

Despite their slim win record during the season the McKil-lnon- managed team have played for better ball than their standing 1n- cicates. Weak stickwork plus depth in their hurling corps have been two contributing causes to their defeats. Of course both these tie- ficiencies are major ones but dc‘..- plte that the squad has furnished plenty of competition in the major- ity of their appearances and it will be interesting to see how tney will perform tonight with their backs definitely backed against the wall.

The Leglonairee and R..C.A.F. fought the last game of the sec- ond section of the Summerside Baseball League to s 7-al1 tie last night in Summerside to continue the maddest scramble for the top spot seen here in years. The draw game left the Vets at the head of the League with a scant one-point margin over the Red Sox and R.C.

A.F. who are tied for sec ’ place. The Klnsrrnn Juniors are one point behind these two. The Air-

men outhlt the Legion decisively. getting fourteen hits to the Vets nine. but eleven Flyers were left

stranded on sacks and only five Legionaires. ‘ The R.C.A.F. jumped into the

lead in the first frame, four hits and one error accounting for this runs. The Vets got two of th .

back in their half, Maclldurdo and S. Bernard starting things Qff with a brace of doubles, Mac's/lured scoring on Bernard's hit. Syl kept on trekking for third. and when Carson threw over the third base-

men‘s head. Bernard crossed the plate with second tally.

The Airmen added two in the second. With one out Bayne

dwblfld. Foy struck out but Car- son Eot a life when Grady dropped the ball after tagging the runner going into first. Bayne scored on the error. Anderson hit. into what looked like a force play but Phil- lips juggled the apple and both runners were safe. lvLickus drove his second run across with a single past second.

The Vets tied it up in the last of the third. MaoMurdo hit safely and S. Bernard reached first on an error. H. Gallant forced MacMurdo at third and Grady batted both Bernard and Gallant across with

lhome himself after G. Bernard had lifted e high fly to right.

The R.C.A.F. went out in front again in the fourth. Foy singled. went to second on a wild pitch and Miclrus got his third hit and bat- ted his third man across in s; many tries.

The Vets squared it again in their half. Allan got a safety. stole second and reached tlhird when Allan's peg went into centrefield. He scored on MacMurdtfs infield out.

In the last frame Wallle Braw- ley tagged what was probably the longest hit of the season. getting a hccne run. But with darkness falling fast the Vets managed to not the equalizer across in their half. S. Bernard singled. stole

Sport Echoes From Prlnco Bounty

Charles Hogan's All-Stars never looked better than they did against Harmon Field on Saturday even- ing. So good were they that main- land spectators expressed surprise that they were not playing senior

Maritime Pictorial Year Book on baseball gave it as his opinion that with two or threetop notch im- ports the team would rank with the best seniors clubs in the Mari- times. The boys may have been playing a little over their heads. but they certainly did look like seniors on the evening's perform- ance.

We're going to take a chance on saying that there was a certain party playing somewhere between second and third base who. shall we say. to put it mildly, (and that's the only way we dare put it) gave a specter-gave a fairly good performance. Please don't ask me who it was, and let's forget the whole thing as quickly as pos- sible. There now. Mr. Double

could be taken as your getting back into action.

Mr. Shortstop. or perhaps we might call him Mr. Shorty for short, gave the fans a lot of thrills and we're all sincerely grateful. Joe Bernard, though having a bit of difficulty in getting the range from the outer gardens to first base, more than made up for that by a brilliant one-hand catch.and a perfect peg to third for the last out of the game. Joe has shown that he can hold down any posit»- ion with distinction. even behind the plate, but ‘we hope he'll forget. about his ability as a catcher from

Frankie Oatway is the hittenest pinch hitter we've seen in a long time. Nobody knows that better than Harmon- Field pitchers. Out at the local airport sometime ago Frankie went to bat in the pinch and came through with a double. Saturday afternoon in the same role he dellvcrcd a triple. By the way. four pinch hitters were used in phe two games and three of them cracked out ‘base hits. So far our case for pinch hitters is get- ting lots of support.
