SMALL BEGINNINGS

Total railway mileage in Caiiada. in isoo was only 2,065 miles, most- ly in separate divisions. .

Ryan had not touched the plate. Ryan was tagged in the dugout and declared ut.

The C and boys picked up two runs in the first inning and held this lead until the fourth when Ab- bies evened the count on a double, triple and a hit. batter. In the fifth the visitors forged ahead, scoring two more tallies and Simmons. who had started for c and 3. gave way to Benny Carson. The construction crew struck back for two runs in the sixth on a single a walk, two fielding errors and I

the thirteenth when the successful "squeeze" ended the struggle.

Pitched Great Game

Charlie Ryan pitched what was perhaps one of the greatest games of his career, remaining on the mound for the full thirteen inn- ings and giving up only nine hits. ills fine pitching effort was rival- led by the brilliant relief hurling of Coke Grady who relieved Car- son in the tenth to allow only one hit during the rest of the game.

Charlie Ryan and Red MacKen- zie led the Abbie attack with two hits apiece. One of MacKen'sie's bingles was a long triple to right centre field. Grant Grady. fifteen- year-old phonom, and coke Grady hit two safeties apiece for Curran and Brgigs, one of Cokey's smash- es going to deep centre field for three bases. I

Buck ran back towards left field and with two outiielders also converging on the ball managed to snare it while on the dead run.

LaMotta Wins Decision

From Irish Bob Murphy

DE.'l'R20lT. June ii-(AP) -- Joltirig Jake LaMott.a barged past. Irish Bob Murphy's left. hooks in a savage ninth and 10th round come- back assault to win a 10-round unanimous decision tonight before a near sellout crowd of some iii,-

fans. l..aMotta. weighed 169 1-4 and Murphy 175 1-2.

Rarely has Jake scored a more dramatic victory in Detroit. his "lucky city". For eight rounds he had vainly tried to solve Murphy's puzzling southpaw style. when he finally did. Murphy was staggering and almost off his feet. But the crowd was on its toes roaring.

Jake. hoping to get. a crack at the light heavyweight title, backed Murphy into Jake's own corner late

in the ninth round and exploded two lofts against the ex-sailor's Jaw. Murphy rocked backwards.

Again in the loth LaMotta jolted Murphy, who stopped Jake in sev- en rounds a year ago.

But yesterday's thirteen inning affair must have been an exciting ball game for those in attendance. For the Abbies and Charlie Ryan in particular it must have been a heart-breaker. The night before the game several fans were dis- cussing the Intermediate Abbics' pitching strength. The discussion limited the strength to two men, Charlie Ryan and Ev. Beagan.

One fan recalled that last. year Charlie hurt his arm in the play- offs and he doubted if Charlie would be able to work more than five or six innings. I-low wrong his observations were. was proved yesterday when Charlie went. the thirteen inning route and limited the C. and B. batters to nine hits.

Its not for that. that Charlie Ryan and the Abbies felt dis- apointed. Last night Abbies conch Fred ”Husky" Maccabe claimed that the Abbies won the game it: the eleventh inning and Charlie Ryan scored the winning run. The run. however, did not go into the record books for the C. and B. catcher tagged Ryan in the dugout and the umpire charged that Charlie was out as he did not. touch the plate coming home.

Interviewed last night Charlie stated that he definitely touched the plate and that the umpire first called him safe. Shortly after I sat down in the dugout the catcher came over and tagged me with the ball, stated Charlie. "I

Ryan stated that the rest of the team protested to the umpire but he himself did not protest ai- ihough he knew he trainped at over the plate. "Young Grady, the pitcher. goes into ablg wind- up and I knew that I could steal on him. when he saw me steal- ing home he threw the bsll wide and I came in standing up with plenty of room to spare. Follow- ing the game a couple of sum- rnerslde fans came to me and told me that I was safe." . .

The outcome of the game in- dicates that this Island baseball League is shaping up into a pretty interesting affair. By virtue of their two wins over Charlotte- town teams, Curran and Brigg
