Baseball fans and they are ex- pected to be out in record IILLAI- bers are in for a treat at the hie- morial Field diamond when Phil- adelphia Monarchs, all colored Un-

The visitors at present on tuu; have- been packing the fans in wherever they have played Com- posed of a band of starry baseball artists they are born showman, every one of them. and their every appearance never fails to delight.

It is a long time since a team of such calibre has showed their wares here and the local players who will be opposing them at"; in every department of the gairic. bound to benefit immeasurably The local baseball officials are to be congratulated on obtaining the visitors for their one night stand and fans can show their apprecia- tion by attending in large num- bers and so help defray the ea- pense entailed in bringing the game about.

Montague race track will be the scene of another racing pro- gram tomorrow afternoon and the card should provide just about the best racing witnessed on this track so far this season. Classes are all as evenly matched as it would be possible to find and w‘th several outstanding mainland trotters and pacers expected to perform duels of speed in every heat should be the outcome.

Not entirely unexpected but nevertheless coming somewhat in the way of a surprise Ev. Mc- Nelll‘s junior Kinsmen basebal‘ team served strong notice yestei- day evening they are going to of: tough to dislodge from their city championship when they took the Reece squad into camp by a +3 score.

And fans are now wondering whether or not last year's playoff history is going to repeat itself for it will be remembered tna' Kinsmen came through with an unexpected victory at that time Although neither team showed their best efforts in the playoff opener Kinsmen nevertheless w_et0 the steadiest of the two and ac- cording to spectators who Mt- nessed the game were full credit for their victory.

The game itself was mainly a pitcher's duel with errors playing a big role In\the run production but at the same time it served up to the fans a closely-waged. hard- fought battle with the issue In doubt right up to the final pitch.

But as usual when playotf time comes around the usual arguments are bound to arise. This ‘year is going to prove no exception for last night an argument arose over how many innings the teams will have to play in order for the game to go into the record books.

i. -l~ 1- 1-

The opener was called at the end of five innings and it seems that officials were at a loss what to do in deciding this important matter before finally declaring the game a regulation one. It ap- pears from this that somethuig will have to be done and done quickly before the date of the next game rolls around.

-l- 4-

A five inning game is not a real test of strength although it is as fair to one as to the other and if it is that games cannot get away earlier it looks as if the out] solution will be to play the bu. ance on Sunday afternoons when nine innings of play can be as- sured. But whatever happens the

Kinsmen have captured first blood; they deserved their win and are going to prove plenty

tough to knock off_

The game was a five inning affair due to dark- ness setting. in rapidly and Um- pire George Francis was forced to call the game in the last half pf the fifth frame. After the game a lengthy debate took place be- tween the league president and officials of both teams as to whether the encounter could b; called a game. In the eyes of 1,06 President the game would count. and the Kinsmen walked off the diamond with an important win.

The game was one of the better games to be played in the City junior loop this year and although errors were numerous nevertheless some smart baseball was played by both teams.

The winners scored two runs in the opening inning on two errors two walks and an infield out. The Reece team came back in their half of the same frame with tnrce runs which put them Into the lead.

Opening Game Semi- Finals Deadlocked

Alan Stewart pitching for the Kinsmen and Rae Arsenault on the mound for the Legion, waged a close pitching duel at the Sum- merside baseball diamond last night and when darkness closed down in the top of the seventh inning the first game of the senil- finals in the Summerslde Baseball League was deadlocked at two-ail and the boys will have to start all over again in their effort to declare s. winner to enter the rin- als against the winner of the R. C.A.F.-Red Sox semi-final series.

Stewart allowed only three hits, one an infield single, but walked both of the men who eventually scored. Arsenault was touched for four safeties in the five in- nings he worked, G. Bernard pit- ching the first frame for the Vets.

Gordie MacKay, speedy short- stop of the Kinsmen Club had a field day in the batters’ box. pun- ching out two homers and a. sin- gle ln four trips to the plate, but his last two-bagger in the top of the seventh was washed out as trmpire Reg Phillips called the game on account of darkness and play reverted to the even six in- nings. Pope had two singles in three tries and MacMurdo batted two for two.

Juniors opened the scoring in the third Ylth two out; MacKay was sa-fe on an error at short and pulled up at second. Layton Schurman hit a. long fly to deep centre field and when MaoMurdo failed to handle the catch Mac- Kay raced all the way home.

In the fourth again with two dit the Mulholland Fridgen crew added another tally. Landry was safe when Underwood juggled his grounder to third. Pope singled and went all the way to third when the ball went through Ga!- lant in right field, Landry scor- ing.

The Legion picked up their first counter in the fourth. Syl Ber- nard walked and stole second; MacMurdo scratched a. single and Bernard scored when B. Grady tossed the pill over Oatways head at first. Mmolvlurdo went to third

on a wild pitch and on an st- tempted squeeze play was trapped between third and home when G. Bernard failed to connect with the pitch. In the sixth the Vets tied it up; Phillips walked and stole “second as Arsenault struck out. Syl Bemard came through with a, timely double, Phillips crossing the plate.

The fielding highlight was a fine stop and throw by Stewart off Deighan's attempted bunt in the third.
