HANDICAP ‘FROT — PURSE SINDO

.Ths Knights of Columbus girls All Star softball club will have their work cut out for them to- day when they meet the Amherst Red Wings in the second game of a series leading up to the finals of the Maritime ladies‘ amateur softball championship. The game is scheduled for the K. of C. diamond st Victoria Park at I p. m. this afternoon.

The local girls, who apparently had difficulty in getting their am- ateur cards put through, had giv- en up the idea of competing in the Maritime playoffs. With ev- erything being cleared up un- expectedly, however, making them eligible for play, it was learned curly this week that they were required to go to Amherst on Wednesday for the opening of the series.

The change, coming unexpected- ly as it did, caught the club un- prepared to make the trip. and they were obliged to forfeit the first game to the-Amherst squad. but suitable arrangements. have been made, however, to play the second game here today, snd in the event of a local victory, the third and final game will be play- ed later in the day to decide the issue.’

Although going into the fray today one game down without a blow being struck, which will make it an uphill fight for the locals, they can nevertheless be depended upon to come up with s good performance, as it is not the first time this season that the All Stars have taken the measure of mainland squads in exhibition competition. I

So regardless of the first con- test, local fans can depend on see- ing their team come out battling all the way, which in all prob- ability will turn out to be a smartly contested encounter all the way with plenty of good ball and fast action.

The Department of Physical Fitness stated yesterday thatthere were still a number of baseball uniforms, that were loaned out to the Charlottetown Old Timers baseball team for their series of exhibition games with the Sum- merslde Old Timers, that still hav- en't been returned. .

ace

c e

The Department was willing enough to loan out the uniforms, and now they are asking for the co-operation of the Old Timers who still have uniforms, to rs~ turn them in the same spirit, so that they may be handed out to the youngsters in the minor leag- ues for their playoff series. So iboys, show your appreciation by returning those uniforms to the Travel Bureau as soon as possible, that the youngsters too, may have the use of them.

O O I O

Commenting on the baseball fracas at Philadelphia last Sun- day, when as the resulbot s bot- tle throwing contest by irate fans who were apparently trying to see who could score the most hits on the presiding ofliciais, the game was forfeited to the New York Giants, Ivan (Hamilton Spectator) Miller asksz-"Did Um- pire George Barr err st Philadel- phia Sunday when he provoked a bottle barrage that lead to a for- feiture?"

We didn't see the game, but judging from the various accounts of the affair, we would certainly say he didn't. If the rule of for- foitures was brought in to protect such incidents happening, there was certainly grounds enough in that particular instance to war- rant, a forfeiture, regardless of the fact that the umpire might have made s mistake in calling the particular play that caused the uprising. After all, they are subject to make mistakes the same as anyone else, but you can hord- ly allow the crowd the privilege of beating his brains out with s bottle or some such implement if he does make one.

I O O I

At least that is the way this column pictures it. But however, hers are the facts as Miller sets them down and you can judge for yourself. ‘The Giants’ first baseman, Joe Lsfsts, hit a fly bail to Ritchie Ashburn. Barr said that Ashburn, who turned a som- erssult, caught the ball on the bounce. A ‘ u contended he had caught the ball eight inches off the ground. in full view of Barr, sud then rolled over and held the ball firmly in his glove. The fans started the shower. The umps gathered in the centre of the field. One was hit on the neck with a bottle. A tomato soelted another. All three umpires then ducked for cover. naturally. rui- ing the TB-minute limit was up

with the game going to tho Giants." _ __

Demon Hanover Wins Rich Trot

WEETBURY, N.Y,, Aug. B — (ATP) — Demon Hanover. winner of the Hambletonian last year. humbled Proximity, queen of the standard breds, in the third $50,000 Roosevelt two-mile trot before a. crowd of 25.000 fans, at the Roose- velt Raceway tonight.

Joe O'Brien of Alberfon, P.E.I. finished fifth with Vita Lee.

Time Catches ilp Wiih Third Playoff Tilf

The third game of the junior playoffs was called at the end of five innings of play last night by Umpire Cecil Ward and was im- mediately declared a "no contest" by League officials. The required number of innings a game must go in the playdowns is seven.

At the time the game was call- ed the Vics were out in front by an 8-7 count. They were ahead at the four and a half inning mark 8-4 but. s three run double by Maurice Flynn in the K. of C. half of the fifth made the score- board read 8-7. '

Starting pitchers were Ev Bea- gan for the Vics and “Spy” Ready for the Knights. Each were in plenty of trouble during the five frames the game went. Although there were fifteen runs in the abbreviated contest all the batters could get off the pitchers’ slants were s. grand total of five hits. Three hits off Ready and two off Beagan. Walks galore and poor fielding on the part of both teams

was the main thorn in each team's side, The third game in the series

is scheduled for Monday evening with the game time set at 5.15 sharp,

Winners Of Midget Crown

The Parkdale Midgets came through with s. 4-2 victory over the North End Red 50x at the old diamond at Victoria.

nings. ~-

Sport Echoes

From Prince County

Once more Fruikie Oatwsy came through in tho clutch. It is noth- ing new for Frankie. Some read- ens of our column may remember that. we called Oatway "Mr. Pinch Hitter" because of the number of times he delivered in that capac- ity last year. The fans may not have noticed his clutch hitting this year, but let us give you a. few statistics. Frankie had only nine hits for s. batting average of 3% yet hc was second to Math- eson in “rims batted in." His 1181's tots-lad ten to Mathaoxfs eleven. Yet Matheson had 23 hits for an average of .440. Of course. you can get 1181's on infield outs, fly balls, walks. etc, but. if ten REX’: on nine hits does not constitute a. rec- ord for these parts, we'll be great- ly surprised.

When the two great rivals of Is- land baseball settle down to the final reckoning. it seems inevitable that the valiant figure of Joe Ber- nard will be out there on the mound throwing them in for the honor and glory of Bummerside. Cecil Powell, whose pitching had put Curran d: Briggs on the top rung of the league ladder, has cle- veloped a sore arm and was not able to hold the rampaging Abeg- weifa in check Wednesday, Cece will still be able to help our cause but if he did no more pitching this year. no one could say he hadn't done his bit.

O O I

The name Bernard plays a large Dart in the tradition of our base- ball greatness on Island amd main- land diamonds, however, and Joe M! brflusht. home the bacon so often it just doesn't seem safe to trust any other errand boy.

O I I

The more we see of Glen Math- esozfs fielding and hitting .2110 more we think the Brooklyn Dodg- er scout may have passed up a real prospect two or three years 880- It has been amply proved that they do make mistakes sometimes. you know. We like Mathesoufs dis- dainfui attitude when ho comes w the plate. His every motion seems to cry out, "Put that ball across here. you big bum. and I'll knock it out of the lot." I l O

Most batters are quite happy about an intentional pass, but not Matheson, He wants a chance to sock that apple. and believe us, he doe-s sock it, hard and often. The opposing fans ride him unmerci- fully because he has that compet- itive spirit which raises their ire. in centre field hc is one of the best. We've never seen him make a. really spectacular catch, but he handles the difficult ones with a, sureness that makes them look easy.

O O I

Alan Stewart Ls new to Island baseball finals. He had s very sus- picious start, banging out, s. triple and single in four trips and mag. ing s brilliant catch after cross- ing the tracks to do it.
