A lot depends upon the attitude Bdﬂpted by local gunners in respect to the observance of present game laws whether or not this ‘wide scope’ Dolley will be continued in future. It shooters go out after the season closes on ducks and on the pretence of hunting geese take a crack at evefythins that comes along well wv-nvthins may happen in 1950.

A deliberate attempt to destroy the magniﬁcent Maplewood Park, Chicago. by ﬁre, occurred Just previous to the big mid-west meeting there last Monday night. The plant represents a $3 million investment and it had just under- gone a $500,000 beautiﬁcation and expansion program xvith the grand stand and clubhouse doubled in size. The firebugs planned to knock out the Maplewood mutucl department, thereby killing the very nerve centre of the plant. Entrance was made through a three-foot entrance in the fence and a 75 foot path of gasoline and oil three feet vzide was laid a- cross a cement walk tn the cast end of the grand stand. The tire was touched off at the point nearest to the opening ln the fcnce. The ﬂames swept through the flooring of the mutuel department which housed the intricate iviring system but quick action by volunteer firemen and the small fire brigade at the track put the blaze out before the damage was vcry great.

Faces Critical Game Siiimay

The Summerslde RJIAI‘. base- ball team are facing the ggiﬂggl game of the season when they play the Charlottetown Abegweits at the 911mm 8a Briggs diamond on Sun- dﬂy- The Airmen will have to eke out a win this time or call it. quits for the season. Victory for the Ab- bles will mean that they qualify for participation in the finals of the Prince Edward Island Physical Fitness League with the Curran a Briggs nine.

According to Flt. Lt. Jake Thur- meier, coach of the Airforoe entry, the Flyers will be hard to beat on Sunday. They realize it's their last chance and every player will be giving his best to force the series to a third game. Immediately af- ter thls contest Curran d: Briggs will play Dieppe. No dottbt I large urowd of fans will be on hlmd to see this doubleheader.

starting pitchers in the semi-

final fixture are expected to be Cyril Smith for the Abbles and Jack Murphy for the Alrforce team. Both are tilrovrers of renown in the League and have turned in creditable performances. 'I‘omorr0w will be the climax in their pitching chores for the year. As an anti-climax. the game will solve the mystery as to who will win the League's batting champ- ionship. Maurice Goodwin, Glen Matheson and Verne Larter are so tightly packed in the race for the title that if either even fails to get a hit during the game then they could all wind up in a tie for the ('l‘n\\'ri, Goodwin. however, seems as the likely choice for the crown if one can judge on the hitting of the three during the last several games. "Moe" has been the Ab- bies‘ big siege gun in their last outings as he has collected at least two hits in each game. In one game he went so far as to garner four safe blows in five trips to the platter.

The Abbies will leave the Bus Stop at one o'clock and will travel to the western capital by car. Game time is set at 2.30 and a big crowd

NEW YORK, Aug. 19- (AP)-—- Cornelius McGlllicudy, baseball’s Mr. Mack, received today the cheers of about 300,000 persons in an official, noisy welcome from New York City.

Aﬁiilllly he only cams to town to try to best the American Lea- Bue leading New York Yankees, but everyone acted as If he had accomplished a feat of .rnighty heroism. In a way he had. He has in baseball 66 years.

traditional ceremonies on the steps of the city hall, gave the tall. stringy 86-year-old manager of Philadelphia Athletics a disting- uished service certificate which proclaimed that "Connie Mack's dignity and modesty have been an inspiration to his teams and to his countrymen."

"This is one of tha happiest days I have ever put in and It is all dua to Mayor Dyer and the Yankee organization," said Mr. Mack, smiling broadly. Friends felt happy that he got as close to the mayor's name as “Dyer" Iso- cause the exact details of peo- ple's names have never worried Mr. Mack,

"It is my real intention to man- age the Philadelphia team in 1950, which will be my 50th year as manager of the club." he said.

It was a reguar New York City welcome in sunny baseball wea- ther-a ticker-tape parade up Broadway with sirens bravely sounding. two brass hands play- ing different tunes at the same time, the police lzlee cluh singing "Take Me Out To The Bull GIMME." hundreds of youngsters carrying bats, and cheers from thousands in city hall park.

The ceremonies were the start of three days of official tribute by New York's millions. Tomorrow will be ladies day at Yankee Stad- ium, and Sunday. before the game between the Athletics and the Yankees, Mack will receive u plaque and gifts and watch his stars of yester-year play two inn- ings against former Yankee greats.

Plan For Adult _ Swimming Course

The Red Cross bath houses at. Brighton and Kensington Beaches have been hives of activity since July 4 as each day scores of children gathered for the daily lesson.

This ‘part of the Red. Cross Swimming and Water Safety pro- gram has been completed this ivc-ek and plans have been made for an adult course which will begin after Old Home Week.

The adult course will be con- ducted during the last ten days of August and is offered in re- sponse to many requests from

citizens who wish to improve their _

swimming technique.

Swimming and Water Safety skills will be taught on all levels and these Adult classes are open to non-swimmers as well as to skilled performers.

All of the Red Cross Swimming and Water Safety Instructors hold the Bronze Medallion awarded by the Royal Life Saving Society and they are qualified to instruct others in the rescue methods re- quired for that award.

The Red Cross uses films as s means of visual education and such films as Heads Up and Wat- er Safety portray in an entertain- ing manner many skills which
