Time, 25 sec.

of the ‘meeting held at Memorial Field yesterday

Exceeding all expectations the promoters of the event Maritime invitational

afternoon produced a sensational day of competition with field rc- cords going by the boards all afternoon and the 60 or more ath- letes participating showing pram- ise of future greatness on the cinder tracks and in field evenzs. I O O I And the attendance estimated by many to be in the vicinity‘ of a thousand spoke well for the in- terest that is still being taken in this field of athletics. From opening event until the final one the fans, under a broiling sun. sat and watched and for their efforts they sow twu sensational perfufln- ances in the two flnal events, I I O I First there was Gordon McDon- ald's leap of eleven feet in the pole vault. The slim youngster who also captured the all round title through his ability at the jumping pits proved himself a "chip of the old block" for his dad is none other than Len McDonald of Antigonlsh former Maritime champion and an old competitor of our own Billy l-lalpenny. I I O O There must have been many reminiscences when the two old rivals met on the field yesterday afternoon. Both in their heyday were the cream of the crop ill pole vaulting circles and track events received little attention from them, McDonald handing out words of advice to his so.‘ and others and I-falpersny passing along sage words of advice to all and sundry. I I O I An another champion of a by- gone era and one who still holds a Maritime record and is atJl plenty adept was Rev. Dempsey Chisholm, also of Tignish. Holder of the Maritime hammer throw mark of over 147 feet Father Chis- holm whipping through the throwing circle like s coiled spring heaved the iron ball over 132 feet yesterday to easily ‘cad the field. O O O There were many other old tuners there yesterday also snri the list would be a lengthy one if one would print it. Suffice it to say they were all there all the well known figures of another era that made their marks in the hot com- petition that was always P?!" sent. O I O O As the finishing touch to the program the spectators saw what many considered the most thrill- ing mile relay race witnessed here in s. great many years as th‘ Abbies overtaking on early lead of their opponents, the .-\.l- tigonish Highland Society came through on the final two laps to take a five foot victory. Trai-mg by fifteen yards in the first half young Jack Nicholson showing determination and courage fili- ished on even terms to send ni: anchor man Johnny Cash away like s whippet. O I O O The remainder of what the fans saw is now history. Old timers who seldom show any emotion were brought to their feet as t-‘ne two runners fought it out over the entire distance. As they pounded into the stretch there wasn't f mus separating them but it ‘u! Cash who still showed to thl front as the PM!‘ 01 Klmw-"s practically stzggered over the fin- ish line. " I I O O The above were only s couple of the highlights that were vs"?- nessed all afternoon. The courag- eous band of athletes who task part in both the junior and senior events gsve sports followers here an afternoon they will long ro- member. It wasn't so much as to: times and distances they chalked up but it was the manner in which they fought it out in every one of 22 events, marking every 0M 01 them ss potential‘ champions. I I O

Final set in the City Baseball League schedule will be played io- night with the Anchors and Mill- ionaires clashing in s post-wired game. Although out of the playoffs the “money-men" can be expect- ed to put up the etlffest kind of r. struggle as they attempt to wind up whst hss been e disastrous ses- son by adding another win on the right (do of the ledger. \

I O O

And sfwr that comes ths phy- offs with the rampaging ‘Anchors meeting the Rovers in s best of five playoff series. In the mtrds of not s few the series is already s cut and dried affair with the McCsbe-msnsged teem hot favor- ites m sinful throws. PM "ll

As Reece 6r Play 7 -All

A two base hit off the bat of Willis I-Iennessey in the top ksl! o; the ninth inning gave s fight. ing band of Kinsmen Juniors a tie with the Reece Juniors in the fifth game of the best three out

of five series for the City junior title. The game played Sundry. was the most exciting enco inter ever witnessed by the baseba" fans of the City this year. It was played before a large crowd of fans who were kept on the edge of their seats during the whole game.

In gaining a tie with the Reece the Kinsmen displayed a hare to die brand of ball that will keep them in good stead come the next game. Younk Frankie Currie deserves a lot of credit in hmping the Kinsmen gain the tie as he entered the game in the last oalf of the last frame with none cu‘. and players riding first and second bases. He then went on to strike out the next three batters to keep his teammates still in the running for the city title,

But the Reece displayed the same kind of determination as they came through in the fifth inning to score six runs when they seemed to be baffled by tne right hand slants of Jackie Cairns. The Ryan managed crew were trailing by a score of 3-l s.’ they entered the sixth inning am; after they had tallied their six runs they seemed to be well on the road to victory. But with Murphy tiring fast and the Kinsmen asl- loping his offerings the ltfcNell managed team tallied a brace of runs in the eighth and ninth frames to earn a well desen-ed tie.

The Kinsmen outhit the Reece Juniors by 12-5. But they could not bunch their blows enough to score enough runs to win the en- counter. A total of seven errata were marked up against the twc teams with four of them going to the Kinsmen and three to the Reece.

The game played in the boiling sun kept the base running drwn to a. minimum as only one stolen base was recorded by the official SVOTQI‘.

Hard hitter of the game was Garth Crockett ss he enjoyed a perfect day at the plate with a three for three day. Philftossiter had three for five. Joe Coyle had two for five. Jack "Spy" Reaciy had two for four, and Donnie MacLean had two for four inohld~ ing c home run and s double.
