Harry Walker Boosts ilis Batting Average

NEW YORK. Sept. 15 -fAP)— The National League batting race is showing signs of becoming a Walker walk-over.

Not only did Harry Walker of the Phil lcs come nearer to clinch- ing the itting championship when

he staged one of the season's better , batting sprees during the last week,‘

but brother Fred (Dixie) of Brooklyn maiohcd him almost blow for blow to ml-ve into third place among the league's leaders after Sunday's games.

Harrys 14 hlLs in 31 limos at bat. hoisted his average six» points to .362. Phil Cnvarrctta of Chicago Cubs managed to hold second place with a .316 average despite a four- point loss. but Dixie Walker moved in only one point behind hlnn.

Eight of Kiner‘: 12 blows wen! home runs, giving him the league lead in that department and estab- lishing the Plttsburgher rather than New York's Johnny Mize as No. 1 threat to Babe Ruth's season record of 60. Kine:- now has 49 homers and Mize, who ihit only one last week, has 4-8.

Trailing Kirner among the lead- ing hitters are Augie Galan, Cin- cinnati, .313; Bob Elliott. Boston, Walker Cooper, New York, and Pete Reiscr, B-rooklyi, tied at .300; Stan Muslal, St. Louis, .308,

Ion/a Baseball Olub Revived

On Sunday evening. August 81st,, the Iona Baseball Club. after ly- ing dormant for a decade, closcd tihe most successful season of its career with an enjoyable banquet for its members.

This season has been. in fact. the first that the baseball 61"“ ener- ated under that name. In pre-war days Iona was an enthusiastic baseball center. and fielded a team that was on a par with rural base- ball teams ln this section of i-hc province. During the war years, however. the manpower shortage had its effoct and in a short time only the spirit of baseball remain- ed with the older men.

In Ju-ne of this year a group of young men including several col- lege students decided to make a fresh start. In order to rcplace equipment, several socials WPIB field in s. new garoBe owned by one of the team members to raise funds.

Games were played with a num- ber of teams, notably Charlotte- town, Peakes, Moreli, Montague and Dromore.

0f the boys who made up the team only three had any previous

experience in baseball. ln spite of this. however, the team today, though boasting of no individual stars, presents a well-balanccd combination of players whose cn- thusiasm has made up for lack of experience. and w-hosr- kncnvlcdzc of the playing rulcs is 100 pcr ccnt.

It is to be hoped that ncxi your the tcam will be entered in a lcacue in this part of the proiincc, and that the support and interest shown this year will follow the team as fully as it did t-his year.

The following players constitute the team: Arthur Connolly, Elmn Daly. Fred Furness, John Hupfics, Charles Morrissey, Frank O'Shen, Leo O‘Shea. Clarence Roche, Ivan Roche; subs: Lco Daly. Patrick Daly. Arthur Oil-hes and Henry O'Shea.

An interesting feature of the season was a softball game bo- tween the Charlottetown Bobby Sockers, last‘ year's provinc-nl champions, and a hastily formed teach. the nucleus of which was made up of girls from Inna. Al- thcugih coming out on the short end of a free-scoring gnmc, the local girls by their wide opcn style c-f play gave every indication that ‘Mm IJFOPPT coaching and practice they would easily be amcng the top of the Island girls‘ softball teams.
