THE GUARDIAN. CHARI.0TTET()WN

SEPTEMBER A :3. 1951

The string has run out. on the Summerside intermediate and Jun- ior baseball teams in their battles with the Charlottetown Abbles for

the Provincial titles. With the count. two losses and one win against. them. the Summerside

trams will have in show all of their old-time fight. and ability when they tangle with the City boys here Tomorrow if they want to stay in the running for baseball honors. . . .

Predictions are being made that between three and four thousand fans will watch the games. But whether there are four or four thousand in attendance. those. who will be there should wit- ness two dramatic ball games. For Summersidc there is no turning brick. nothing but a win will sat- isfy them and for the Abbies only a win separates them from their first Provincial baseball titles in the intermediate and Jlllllcl branches for several years.

. . .

The Abbies will be handled h." new managers tomorrow Freddil Whelan will be in charge of the intermediates and Dann.V MEC- Cormack will he guiding the jun- tors. Tnm Marl-Iarlane and Ev Mc- Neill. whn have been in charge all along. left. yesterday morning for Boston where they will be spect- alors at a number of major league games.

. . .

The little men of the Island baseball world. the bantams, pee- wces gnd midgets, Will do. battle this afternoon at Victoria Park. The series is between Summerside and Charlottetown teams and will be completed today with the wea- tlier permitting. 'l'he- Summersidc yearns won the three opening games in summerside last. week.

v. . .

On the hockey front LeBaron Reid. the Moncton hockey head. states that he does not expect any difficulty in getting players this year. He says that he has no less than 40 players in view and all of them are good men Hawks are planning to hold their training camp in Fredericton this year with the camp starting on or about Oct. 4.

. . .

The survival chances of Toronto Maple Leaf star. Bill Barilko he- come slimmer as the days go by. I; was not too long ago that Bill Barilko's name was splashed across the headlines of Canadian sport pages as the man who scored the goal that won the Stanley Cup for the Leafs last. April. Barllko scor- ed that goal against the Montreal Canadiens with a driving slap shot.

The first night Bill Earilko ever played hockey in the National Hoc- key Leagiie. he played against. Is- .1aiiders coach Leo Lamoureux. Lamoiireiix was playing with the tcanadiens in Toronto. "He was a ibic kid with curly hair and when the skated he kicked his legs." re- 'calls Lamoureux. "Kenny Reardon was plgying for us on defense and he crashed into Barilko the first time he. came up the ice. But the kid got up and kept. on boring in. He was sure game." stated Leo.

O O O 0

That. uame gameness may see Barilko through the northland brush if he is still living. Sport fans will be hoping for as pleas- ing ii finish to the northland story as was the hockey story last spring.

Islanders Don't Want Hockey Games Saturdays

The Islanders club does not want any hockey games here on Saturday night this year, Club President. Dr. I". C. Dougan told The Guardian last night.

"Glace Bay says that we are get- ting all the gravy by getting sut- urday night game: continued the doctor. We dont want. any Satur- day night. games here. Saturday is the worst hockey night in Char- lottetown and we would prefer any other night. of the week."

Lefthander Benny Carson will start on the mound for the Junior Abbies and Charlie Ryan likely will start. for the Intermediates in the baseball doubleheader with Summerside here on Sunday after- noon. .

There is an outside chance that. Waldo Munroe may be looking af- ter the hurling duties for the In- termediate Abbies. Munroe. a na- tive of New Brunswick. has been here all summer and is registered with the Abbies. He pitched seven innings in an exhibition game here a few weeks ago and allowed but one run.

For Holman's it will probably he Alan Stewart or Joe Bernard. Don- nie Simmons or Max Embrett will look after the hurling chores for Curran and Briggs.

Sunday's games will be the fourth in the best out of five Pro- vincial playdowns. The Abbies lead both series two games to one.

Carson and Ryan are the same two hurlers who pitched the Ab- bics in twin victories last Sunday, Carson pitched a brilliant one hit- ter while Ryan hurled six hit ball. Stewart handed the Abbie Inter- mediates their only defeat. in the play-offs last Wednesday and Max Embrett. inflicted the only Bum- nierside defeat on the Abbie jun- iors in the opener.

The juniors will play the first rzume at. one o'clock tnmm-row af- ternoon with the Intermediate game following a short time later

1 set the trap on the edge of I

large dam that had been built by the beaver three years ago. The sit. chosen was at a point where thea nlmals left the water to visit a nearby poplar thicket to cut up lengths to haul to the water for food. A beaver likes to eat his. or her. meal in the water or on a small island in the water so as to be able to make a quick getaway in case danger looms. The trap is a cumbersome affair and must. be set. under water deep enough to cover the trap and yet not too deep for fear of the trapped an- imal drowning when it. is caught in the mesh cage. The first night drew a blank. The second morning my luck was in and I had a young beaver en- trapped. The animal was a female barely a quarter grown. Beaver kits are born anywthere between late March and early May. I would judge offhand that this particular beaver family first saw the light of day in late April or early May. If born earlier they'd have been larger in size.

She was a gingery little creature land full of fight She'd throw herself against. the cage side when I got. too close. ,1 placed her in I email wire pen and put. it in the barn for safety sake. In the even- ing I placed a dish of water with- I in reach and filled the pen almost 'full of poplar sapllni UPS-I i beaver's favourite food.
