with a three-run attack of their own tn the same inning. All three runs scored on a mighty double by Al Zarilla. who was thro\vn out at third as he tried to stretch the timely hit.

Kramer took charge then until the sixth when the Tigers bunch- ed l walk with two singles and a force play for another run.

The Boston rlght-hander ob- viously had little ‘stuff’ and. was replaced at the start of the sev- enth by left-hander Mel Parnell, who protected the victory.

It seems that the boys just can't get away from their liking for the sound of s. boll smacking against wood, although there were times when some of them didn't. hear it too often from their own clubs during the season's play.

Sport Echoes

From Prince Oounty

Circumstances beyond our con- trol killed all of last week's Echoes just when we were riding the crest of victory here in Summer- slde. Maybe this is stretchingfthe physical capacities of Echoes a lit- tle fsr but we're still going to join in the jubilation that result- ed from the Curran & Briggs vic- tory over the Charlottetown Abeg- n welts last week.

First of all, about that game in Charlottetown Sunday before last. Like I said-if you'll excuse a lit- tie "I-told-you-soism" -- the Abeg- welt infield did throw off their million dollar mantle and looked like a couple of plugged nlckcls for one brief inning. The C 8c B hats didn't g0 boom, however. as I had predicted. The crystal ball I was gazing at was a little hazy on the time element. It was not till next Wednesday that the Sum- mes-side slugger; lived \ip to their reputations.

It must have been a tough de- feat for the Charlottetown boys to fake considering the fact that they had the 1949 championship all wrapped up in the bottom half of the ninth inning in Charlotte- town and were tying the string

when something slipped. Under such circumstances it is nil the more impressive that the Abog-

weits took it like true sports and Kﬁnflemeh- We talked to a few of the boys and we have to hand it to them. They had no gripes about umpiring or anything else. That goes for the players and man-

BKBITIEHI. ~ Seems then was a sports re- porter sitting in the press box

about fifty yards from the home plate who reversed the decision given by Jimmie Hogan on his calling of Gordie MacKay safe at the plate in the tenth inning. Everybody knows this play was a close one, and it was liuite natural that some of the Charlottetown fans should raise a howl about it. If it 11nd none the other way the Summerslde fans would have done some howling. Anyone who at- tends ball games knows that this is the regular procedure. But for a sports reporter to publish his disapproval of the decision in his column is something else again. Sports writers usually adopt a neutral attitude to such things un- less the decision in question is n particularly flagrant one, and all fair-minded boll fans will have to admit that this plny at the plate was 61059,. no matter how they themselves saw it. So close that n well-known Charlottetown arbit- er gave it as his opinion that though it was a very close play he would have had to coll Mac- Kay safe.

We have watched Jimmie Hogan umpire a lot of ball games and are convinced that he will give less to the home team on a close de- cision than any other umpire we linow. We've cussed him more than once (not in print, however) for calling a halrspllt decision against the home forces. Fact of the matter is, Jimmie calls them as he sees them, and to Siberia with anyone on either side who disagrees with him. This includes sportwriters, too. This is the first instance, however, that we have seen of a sportswriter raising his reportorlol voice against an umpire on such a close play. And fifty yards pway from the home plate. too! If he is miraculously endow- ed with photo-finish equipment in his eyes, let's mnko use of his outstanding talent. Let's stick him up on a tree back of centrefleld and let him call all the plays from that position.

The final series between Char- lottetown and Summerside has firmly established young Alan Stewart of Summerslde on the top of tho heap as far as fancy out- flcldlng ll concerned. He has been playing outfield, off and on. all season. but the ball rarely soar- ed out in his direction and so we never got a chance to assess his valuc in the outer gardens until the finals rolled around. His spec- tacular work in that series was one of the chlof reasons why the Charlottetown Abegwclts are not wearing the Island Intermediate crown today.

Of course there arc other res- sons. When tho series was two to one for Charlottetown and pros- pects for victory looked bleak, Charlie Hogan put. his veteran shortstop, Hank Landry, back" in his old position in short field. In that [IMO in Charlottetown the Abblos cracked out eleven hits and Curran & Briggs five. Yet we won. Hank Landry is a pretty large part of the reason why. In the first flvo innings Hank was the main col in no less than four double plays, and ovary one of them snuffed out a dangerous Char- lottetown rally. As fine a short- stop as Buck Whltlock fr, Landry had an edge on him that day.

Then than was Bob Schurman and Bill Allen hauled back from retirement to In If a winning combination could be put togeth- er. Bob with a lore arm that caused him agony when he triad to ‘throw to second bloc caught one of the best games of his career that day. Of course, he couldn't throw to second but the Abbln didn't know that, and they took no liberties until tho- very last inning when It was too late. Bill Allen bad tough luck. Ha hit

NEW YORK. Sept. 15-(AP) - They are putting on "the return of the outcast" tomorrow night at the Polo Grounds, and it promises to pack ‘em in.

In the title role il Rocky Graz- inno, whom the local fight fans adored before. some three years ago, he was delinquent in report- ing a vague suggestion made to him that he throw a fight. at the Garden.

For that he was banished from New York state rings. Subsequent- ly, on alien canvas. he won the middleweight championship from Tony Zale and then lost it. to the same rugged battler.

And now the "Golden Boy" from the East Side is ready for his big comeback. If the weather holds good, it is possibe that he and Charlie Fusari, a hard-punching welterweight from Irviulton. N. J.,will draw 35,000 fans and close to $250,000 into the big ball park.

Fusari, at 24. has won 61 ﬁghts and lost only four. He gained the coveted outdoor engagement with Graziiino by a sensational one- round knockout last May of Vince Foster, the ill-fated Bible student from Omaha who was killed earlier this year in sn automobile crash.

Rocky is the favorite at odds fluctuating around 8 to 5. He pre- LiIiCS he will starch Fiisari within three rounds if the Jersey puncher stands and ﬁghts.
