_ legion Stops ' Cape Travers
Summerside Legion defeva-ted Cape Traverse 4-2 in the second game of the Prince County Soft- ball League at Queen Elizabeth Park in Summerside last even- ing. Sonny Stull, pitching for Legion. gave up only two safe bingles, and whiffed 13 Cape bat- ters. Harold Leard, pitching his second game with only one day’s rest, was touched for nine safties. His mates were a bit shaky be- hind him in the first and third innings and the‘ Legion team scored a brace of runs in each fname. Cape Traverse were held runless until the seventh and final inning.
Sonny Stull, Des Roberts and Des Callaghan each collected two hits; Roberts getting one two-bagger. Cnanlie Deighan and Owen Sonier hit doubles and Enrigh-t Doucette a single. Jud MacFadyen and Dale MacWil- liams picked up the Cape Tra- verse hits, both singles.
The two most spectacular plays of the game were a double play in the first started by shortstop W. MacFadyen who caught a line drive off the hat of Clarence Gilli-is and ghis throw to MacWi1- liams at third caught Ralph Champion going into the bag, and‘ a nice peg to the plate by Henry “Piush" Gallant to double up MacWi11-iams.

Will Ask For V Examination 01'' Murder Suspect
EDMUN-DSTON, N.B. (CP) -- Defence counsel J. A. Pichette gave notice Thursday he will seek mental examination of his client when the preliminary hearing of John Jacob Vollmann, Jr., enters its third day this morning. ,
Mr. Pichette said he wants to call an uni~den=tified physician to testify concerning a psychiatric examination of the 20 - year - old defendant from nearby Mada- waska, Me., charged with mur- dering Gaetane Bouchard, 16, near Edmundston Mag’ 13.
The defence counsel introduced his motion after County Magist- rate A. M. Chamberland com- mitted Vollmann to stand trial. The magistrate allowed the tion and cancelled the committal. Crown counsel. Albany M. Robi- chaud said he had instructions not to oppose the motion.
Mr. Pichette quoted a section of the Criminal Code stating a defendant may be remanded to a psychiatric institution for an ob- servation period of 30 days or less if the magistrate is satisfied there is sufficient evidence to warrant such action.
SLIM EVIDENCE
Mr. Pichette said the evidence was “very, very, very slim” and the prosecution had failed to link the accused with the crime.
Twenty - four witnesses have testified at the hearing. A Maine automobile registration card for a green 1952 sedan was admitted as evidence Thursday over de- fence objection.
Sgt. J. R. Lapointe said he found the paper among Voll- mann’s effects and also identified a car in a photographic ezdhibit as one driven by the accused. Other e x hib its have included paint flakes said taken from the car and flakes allegedbr found in the gravel pit area where the high school girl. was stabbed.
