Halchehnen And Tigers Win To Enter Loop Finals

The Hntchetmen and the Tigers won their way into the finals of the Queen Charlotte High School Rugby League yesterday afternoon at the school field. The Hatchet- men whipped the Ramblers 9-2 and the Tigers hung a 6-0 shutout on the Nomads in the second game of a M, LI L ..

Billy MacMillan scored two trys for the Hatchetmen and Harry Mur phy went over for the other three points. Gord Giddings made good on a penalty kick for the Ramblers. The Hatchetmen were ' ” 8-2 at half-time.

Allan Brady was injured during the hard-fought tussle and left the game.

Ralph Russell did all the scoring for the Tigers in their romp over the Nomads.

The Tigers and Batchetmcn will start their best-of-five series for the league title next week.

Memramcook proved themselves to be far and away the best team in New Brunswick and No"a Scotia by the decisive and impressive method of knocking the cars offf all opposition until the Abbias stopped them short in the second series game at Ch'Town. Prior to that encounter the Rovers had rolled up 12 straight victories and their great lefthander Bob Fougere was unbeatable. While Fougere pitched wonderful ball for Mem- ramcook Sunday don't forget for a minute than in Charlottetown he was knocked out of the box. Not taken out, DRIVEN OUT and sent running for respito under a cool shower.

The Abbles victory puts a new light on Island baaeballl and makes that hard fighting team from Pcahes. the Island Inter m ” t B winner, look very good tadood. As you may run- mcmh the Abblos defeated Peakes only by the very narrow- est of margins in what you might call an over the weight limit match. Baseball fans in the future will have a lot more re- spoct for the teams in our runl areas.

While most of the honor for the championship has been given - and rightfully so to Jackie Burke, for his two great pitching efforts against the Rovers, it must be . memberod that every one of the team memh n deserves much credit. The veterans of the club like Joey LeClair, Buck Whitlock. Irv Maclfinnon and Charlie Ryan all came through magnificently as also did the youngsters who are still of junior age such as Ken MacDonald, Bobby Lund. Jack Kane and Vern Handrahan. And there is no doubt that tho others Don Moclaean. Cuhcr Pinoau. Kip

. Ready. Frank Shepherd. and Jack

Ready all contributed their share to the win.

About tho happiest moo around Charlottetown these days though on George Franis. Tom Moc- !'m'laIc and Jimmy MacDonald who have been trying so hard to keep baseball In the forefront around here as a motor sport. Tbe Abbfes victory must mean more to them thin to anybody etc. For it proves the point they have been nia”- for so long mostly to doaf oars - that our baseball is as good as any on the intermediate level is the Marlttmes. Iiey could say I told you so - but they won't They will only keep wornng as hard as ever and hope that next year our fans will remernf .1066. weiiope so too.. .
