Executive Upholds ll.C.A.F. Protest

The executive of the Prince Fai- ward Island Physical Fitness Base- ball League met at the armouries in summerside last night with Brigadier W. W. Reid presiding. The primary purpose of calling the executive together was to make a decisio regarding a protest that had been handed in by the R. C. A.

F. Royals regarding the game played at the Summersidc Airport last week with the Falcons in

which a player was sent in from third because a player had thrown his cap at the ball. The executive ruled that as two officials had not seen the play clearly and the other had stated that the cap did not touch the ball. the protest be up- held and the game be replayed from the point where the Falcon player was on third base in the toll half of the seventh inning. The remainder of this game is to be played when the Faicors are play- lng their next scheduled game at the airport so that they would not be compelled to make an ex- tra trip.

Other motions were follows.

(1) That the two tied games be completed at the next favorable opportunity.

(2) That the executive support the officials inqthe enforcement of the rules at all times.

(3) That umpires . have police protection at all games. (This mot- ion was passed. not because any attack; ha been made on umpires. but simply as a precautionary measure.)

It was agreed that the play-offs should be started as soon as pos- sible after the last of August, that the second and third teams should play a best-of-three series, the first game to be played at the home field of the team finishing in second place, and the games to be played in alternate fields from then on to the completion oi the series. That the winner of this ser- lea play a best-of-five series with the team finishing first. the first game to be played at the home fleld of the team at the top of the league standing. and games altern- ating as above. The gate receipt: will go to the borne team in the case of the odd game. the vleitlf'i8 team being guaranteed 80 CR- penses. if travelling from summer-

passed as

side to Charlottetown or vice versa.

The following list of umpires was approved by the executive.

Homecoming New

"Why not organize a New Eng- land 'Spud Island specisl' next wear and bring back a whole trainload of former Islanders and their families for the 1951 old Home Week and Provincial Ex- hibition?" queried a visiting Bos- ton newspaperman, Mr. James B. Mitchell. 01 a Guardian representa- tive yestorday. '

Himself a native of Bouris, Mr. Mitchell hasn't been home since his boyhood days and is getting a real thrill out of his trip. one of the news editors of the Boston Globe, he sees great possibilities in providing special annual tours for New England "I.slanders",who are more numerous than the Is- land's present population and are always thinking and talking about the Garden of the Gulf.

"They would come here lu droves if they had the chance they used to have when regular boat trips were available." he said. "A special train for Old Home Week would be booked up in no time."

Meets Many Islanders

A bachelor, Mr. Mitchell has been a long time in the news- paper business and was with the Associated Press in New York and Washington before joining the Boston Globe. He is an active member of the Canadian Club of Boston and is in touch with many former Islanders through that or- ganization.

He is a son of the late Mr. John Mitchell, who conducted a cooper's shop in Souris many years ago. and a brother-in-law of Mr. James J. Mclilroy. of Brooklyn, whose family came from New Haven and who has several brothers and sis- ters in this Province. Mr. Mcliilroy is accompanying him on his trip.

A cousin of Mr. Mitchell's is Mrs. Mclnnis, wife of Sgt. Laur- ence Mclnnis, of the Charlotte- town Police Force. An old family friend is senator J. P. Mclntyre, whom Mr. Mitchell visited the oth- er night at his home at savage Harbour.

A few years ago he met Premier Jones in Boston, and on Thurs- day Mr. Mitchell renewed the ac- quaintance at the Premier's-of- flce. where he also met Attorney-

General Darby and Deputy At-

isianders Would Welcome Spud Special Says Newsman

torney-General Campbell.

On arriving at the Premier's of- fice he met an old friend. Mr. Roy Mills, who is with the Hearst newspaper services in New York, and has been making his first visit to Prince Edward Island with his wife.

Another New England friend. Mr. Barnes, assistant manager of the National Shawmut Bank of Boston. was ericoun Eu by Mr. Mitchell in the lobby of the Char- lottetown Hotel. where they are both staying.

visited Cape Breton

Mr. Mitchell arrived here Wod- nesday from Cape Breton, where he visited a friend. Mr. Douglas Kerr. at Bras d'0r. I-Ie crossed on the car ferry and travelled from Borden to Montague with Mr. J. Ernest Kerr, a former pm- sidcnt of the Canadian Club of Boston, who with his wife, was on a visit to Mrs. Kerr's sister, Mrs. Alex McPherson.

Also visit-ins Mrs. McPherson at Montague were her daughter, Mrs. Mildred Gillespie. widow of the late Dr. Norman Gillespie, of Bos- ton. who drove here with her two daughters from California. Mrs. Gillespie is a sister of Mrs. John Mustard and Major Alan Nichol. son. of Charlottetown.

Mrs. Gillespie and Mrs. Mustard had visited Bras d'0r Lakes while Mr. Mitchell was there and they were in the same party making a trip over the Cabot Trail.

While the scenery in Cape nre. ton is rugged and picturesque, Mr. Mitchell said he thought Prince Edward Island more beautiful. He was particularly impressed with the "well groomed" farms in this Province. and with the general air of well-being and prosperity.

on the way to visit his cousin, Mrs. John J. Mclsaac. at Borden, Mr. Mitchell and his brot.her-in- law. Mr. McElroy, stopped over at the farm of Mr. Alden Mulli- gan, Newton, and admired the ex- cellent crops and farm arrange. ment.

Mr. Mitchell spearks warmly in praise of the service provided at the Charlottetown Hotel. which he rates as first class in every way. He plans leaving the Island over the week-end.
