tTo Be

Held Here Sept- 5th

' ‘Hie second annual Maritime Lu- vitation ‘rrack and Field Meet will be held at Memorial Field on Lah- or Day, Monday, September 5th. Eigadier W. W. Reid, Director PhysicalFitness announced yester- day.

Last, year marked the first time of the holding of such a meet here in a good many years and it. went over in a big way. Even more stic- cess is anticipated this year. Many more clubs will be in attendance with the cream of Maritime ath- letes participating and some sen- sational struggles in both track and field events are expected.

Present marks especially in the track events are expected to be set up. The cinder track, after much work being put on it during the past, three months is now sa.id to be lightning fast and conducive to much faster tines being clipped off in the various events.

There will bc six junior events staged, the 100, 220. quarter mile dashes. 880 yards and one mile runs together with the. niizh lump and

1-2 mile relay.

There are a total of fifteen standard senior events scheduled ranging from the lw-yard dash down to the gruelling six mile run. Included in the above will be the mile relay which should hold add- ed interest for in three meetings this year the Abegweit mile relay have yet to taste defeat and they will be out looking for their fourth win and in addition will be seeking the team title, the latter some- thing that has evaded them by small fractions so far this season.

All participating athletesmustbe in good amateur standing and must produce 1949 cards, which may be secured fmm the secretary of the MA A'U. LL-Col. A. W. Rogers. care of D.V.A., Charlottetown.

Entries must be in the hands of Brigadier W.W. Reid not later than midnight, September 2nd. Simply fill in entries on the entry forms which have been mailed out and address to BT11,’- W. W- Rlld. Director of Physical Fitness. Char- iottetown.

Charlie Ryan's Junior Knights of Columbus squads 16-4 drubbing over the Charlottetown Kinsmen at Memorial Field Sunday puts the smooth working Knights in a handy two and one half game lead over their nearest competitors the Vlctorias for. top honors in the regular schedule of the City Jun- ior Baseball League. The defeat also puts the Kinsmen beyond hope

of gaining a playoff spot in the league finals. I I I I With each of the three teams

having only two more games to play before the schedule winds up. ‘t the Knights are a sure winner for the regular league schedule with the Victories assured of the other berth in the two-team playoff scr- ies, I I I I

While on the subject of the Jun- ior League, it might be well to remind the local sporting public that today is the day that the boys will be making their rounds for your kind donations to their campaign for funds by conducting a Junior Baseball League Tag Day.

n o e a

The boys. who have been per- forming well rill season for the en- tertainment of the local sporting public as well as for their own enjoyment, have been having a pretty hard job in making ends meet financially this season, and for this reason are holding their special Tag Day today in an effort to raise enough funds to be able to curry on for the remainder of the season and provide the local baseball public with the same fine brand of competition they have been witnessing all through the current schedule. I I I I There is no doubt about it that the Junior League already has de- veloped many promising young- sters who are about ready to step into a higher bracket of competi- tion. That was the end to which the junior league was formed three seasons back and now that the youngsters are ready, the future of intermediate hall takes on n brighter picture. So ball fans, give the sellers all the support you can today and by so doing ensure the continuance of junior baseball competition here. I I I I The leading games in the Island Baseball League this week will see the second place Abbies clash with the league-leading Curran and Briggs squad at the local Memorial Field diamond on Wednesday, which will mark the second last meeting of these two teams in regular scheduled play before en- tering lnto the playoff series. a 0 e

The final clash between these two teams will be at Summerslde on Sunday, when the Abbies will journey there to meet the league leaders in the first of an Island League twin-bill, with the Abbics meeting the third place R.C.A.F. squad in the second game whlcli will be also the final meeting be- tween these two squads before playoff time. ~ I I I

As regards the playoffs them- selves, it has been laid down by League officials that the Wlnnlni! team of the regular schedule will draw a bye into the finals while the second and third place teams will play off in a best two out of three game semi-final event, with the team placing second in the regular schedule drawing the first home game. The winners of the semi-finals will meet the team drawing the bye in a best three out of five game finals series.

I I I I

Although it is still a toss-up as to whether it will be‘the C. anti B. nine or the Abbies who will be getting the bye into the finals, the Summerside squad are at present in the best position for the hori- ors, with about a two or two and a half game lead, although the ex- act figures are not known at the moment by this column. I I I

In any event it will be a close run, and the forthcoming games should produce some close knit. top notch battles that will give both Charlottetown and Summer- side fans some exciting baseball before the issue is decided.

iCity Team Takes Boxing Honors; Pendergast Is Winner Of Main Event

i__

In a star-studded 12-bout boxing card staged at the Charlottetown Armouries lgst night by Charlotte- town promoter Gus Longaphle, be- fore a capacity crowd, local amn- teur boxers took five wins and a draw over Summerside fighters, while the Western Capital boys scored with one win and a draw in the six bouts of inter-City competi- tion. All bouts were of 3-rountl, two-mlriute duration.

In addition to the inter-city matches. there were- five other top bills made up of local fighters while the other was a really smart exhibition of boxing skill put on by two American sailors from the U. S. S. Buckley. The boys volun- teered to put on the two-round ex- hlbltlon go. .

The card was a really thrill-pack- ed affalr all the way, which gave the capacity crowd their money's worth in fast, rugged action and smart boxing,

Big Tom Pendergast of Kensing- ton, fighting on the Summersldc team, scored a T.K.O, over Reg O'Brien of Charlottetown at the SS-second mark of the second round in the main event, which saw both heavyweights batter one another in n gory blood-sputtered first round. Both boys, still bleed- ing profusely from the nose and face early in the second round. pounded one another toe to foe, but Pendergast was getting the best on the exchanges and referee

Jenks Jenkins stepped in and awarded a T.K.0. io the Kensing- ton fighter before it got any worse.

Sailors In Exhibition

Just preceding the main event, “Bulldog" Rolph, former light- heavyweight champion of the Slate of Minnesota and Jimmy Blaine of the State of Ohio put on a really smart two-round exhibition scrap that received a terrific ovation of applause from the crowd. Both boys. hailing from the U. S. S. Buckley which is at present visit- ing Charlottetown with three other American naval ships, displayed really top-notch punching ability. Both displayed excellent in-fight- lng and counter-punching ability as well as terrific hitting power and really put on a splendid ex- hibition, much to the satisfaction of the crowd, '

Other bouts on the card saw Young Barrett. City take a T. K. O. victory over Boy Brown. City, at 1:14 of the third round in the opening paperweight bout on the curd, While in a second bout of the paperweight division, Garth Mc- Gulgan, City, took an unanimous decision over Mel Roberts, City. One of the best bouts on the card was a featherweight clash between Pepper Longaphle and George Ber- rigan both of this city. It was a really rousing battle all the way, with both boys going to the cun- vas during the struggle, but Ber- rigan had the slight edge over his game opponent to earn a split de- clslon.

Another smart bout was put on by two bantamwelghts Stevie Mac- Donald of Charlottetown and Young Durant of Summerslde. A1- though MacDonald was the strong- er fighter and had his opponent on the canvas for the count of nine in the first round with a terrific two-fisted attack, the Summei-sidc boy was really game, and although he hit the canvas three times more

fllghtlng back gamely at the final ell. ’

In the featherweight department Don Trainer City, and Francis Arsenault, Summeralde put on an- other good scrap with both boys fighting on even terms all the way to end up in a draw decision.

Scores Only ‘Knockout

Lightweight Bobby Gallant of Charlottetown scored the onlv knockout of the night when he floored Cookie Grady of Summer- side at 1:32 of the second round. Grady took to his bicycle right from the opening round, but Gal- lant finally caught up with him in the second round to drop him with a hard right hand. Grady was up on one knee when he was counted out.

In the welterweight division, Austin Squarebrigga scored a clean-cut decision over Johnny Russell of Charlottetown. but for- merly of Fredericton. N. 8., and England. Squarebriggs had it all over his opponent in the first round, and practically hit him at will but didn't do much damage at that time. Russell went down for an eight count early in the second round from a wicked un- slaught by Squarebriggs, and took an awful lot of punishment all through the round but was game all the way. He hit the canvas again in the flnal round, but just wouldn't go down to stay and was still on his pins fighting back at the final bell despite the terrific punishment he absorbed during the round.

Evenly Matched Bout

One of the most evenly match- ed bouts of the night was between Hugh Doyle, City, and Ernie Cor- mier of Summerside, in a middle- weight go. Both boys stood toe to toe and slugged it out for most of the fight and neither gave any ground and were both hitting hard. Doyle was awarded a t.k.o. in the flnal round by the referee, however, when after a bit of a flurry, Cormier went to his cor- ner claiming a low blow, but the blow was not credited by the re- feree and the fight was awarded

to Doyle. Another close bout was also witnessed in the middleweight

division when Jimmy McGuigan of Charlottetown scored a split decision over Stuart Grady of Summerside. Both boys fought very evenly all through the en- counter, McGuigan showing up as a smoother boxer but Grady, a tough, aggressive fighter, made it a rugged scrap all the way.

The shortest bout of the night was another middleweight clash which saw Louie Lafferty, City, take a t.k.o. victory over Young Gallant of Summerside at 1:06 of the first round. The Westerner took a nt knockdown early in the round, and then hit the canvas for a six-count and coming up again in an almost helpless condition, his handlers threw in the towel to stop the fight.
