Alrlries Blank Holman's 3-0 To Lead Series T hree-Two

The Ohulottetown Abbie: inor- ed into a. three-two lead over Hol- nun's lntarrnedlataa in the Pro- vincial Intermediate Baseball play-offs yesterday as Donnie llhchean hurled tha Abbies to I 3-0 victory in a well played game at Memorial Field.

For MacLean it was his third series win without a defeat and his most impressive pitching per- formance in this see-saw battle for Island Intermediate honors.

He limited the Summerside nine to five scattered hits and at no time during the game did a visit- ing runner pass second base. Mac- Lean struck out three and walked three.

Strong-arined Paul Schurman was the loser. Schurman, who has appeared in every game of the series struck out 12 batters in eight innings while giving up ten hits and walking one. The Abbiee scored only one earned run.

The Abbies scored the winning run in the fourth inning when Elmer MacNeill and Buck Whit- lock hit back to back singles. Whit- locks single rolled through Cen- treficlder Joe Dalton allowing Mac- Neill to score from first.

Whitiock reached third but fail- ed to score as Schurman bore down to strikeout the next three batters.

The Abbles scored their insur- ance runs in the sixth inning. Whitiock. the spearhead of the Charlottetown offense. doubled into centretield. With two out Eddy Lund singled into right field sending Whitlock to third.

Coach Jack Ready sent Phli Murphy in to bat. for Cuker Pin- cau and Murphy lined a single into left field scoring Whitlock and sending Lund to third.

Lund and Murphy then pulled a double steal with Lund racing home safely as the catcher let the ball get away from him.

The Abbies threatened again in the seventh inning when Flynn reached base on an error and Mac- Klnnon and MacNeill produced s:ng- les to load the bases. However Vance Harris made a fine running catch off Whitlock and threw home to enable the catcher to double the runner off third. T'he runner

did not tag to en die outfield catch.

The always dangerous Jimmy Grady tried to put Summerside back in the game in the ninth inning. He led off with a double into right field but died on base.

Grady and Vance Harris both had two hits for Holman's and Joe Dalton one.

Buck Whitlock, Elmer Mac- Neill and Phil Murphy led the Abbies with two hits.

Earl MacKinnon made a great. running catch off Gunner Cox for the most outstanding fielding play of the game. Eddy Lund played well around first base and Vance Harris made a good catch off Whitlock in centrefield.

Delensively the Abbies were at their best. They did not commit an error. Cuker Pineau's pick on

Three Definite Starters In Maritime Senior Hockey

NEW GLASGOW (CF)-Chariot-4

tetown. shaped up Sunday as definite start- ers in the 1954-55 edition of Mari- time senio. hockey but travelling expenses will still be a headache.

The league held another of a se- ries of meetings here to try to im- scramble the maze of problems that threatened to put an end to senior hockey at the close of the 1953-54 season. They voted to meet again Sept. 12 when the status of Stellnrtnn and New Glasgow will have been clarified.

New Glasgow has been mooted as a contender for several months but failed to send ii representative to Sunday's meeting. Stellarton was grvcn irntil Sept. 7 to post a bond guaranteeing a team and will be accorded preference even if New Glasgow posts ' bond by that date.

Steve MacDonald. representing Sydney Millionaires. said he came lo the meeting only to withdraw the Millionaires from play. How- ever. he said he felt certain there were interests in Sydncy who would foot the bill for a team if Stellarton cniored.

Delegates shoved through a con- slitution amendment dropping the word "major" from the league title. thus returning the circuit to Senior A or Allan Cup status aflcr two disappointing seasons of major play for the Alexander Cup.

Glace Bay and Sydney both said they had qualms over the cost of playing in a league which entailed trips as d l s t a nt as Halifax and Charlottetown. MacDonald rc- ported the Millionaires finishctl last season with a deficit of 34.000.

Delegates also agreed that in future clubs would cxtend feelers for the services of a player di- rcctly to the club that owned him rather than to the player himself.

League president C. Roy Mac- Donald of Glace Bay was chair- man.

Danny Taylor, much decorated aoldler of Uncle Sam's Army and currently a pro- fessional boxer. was one ol the spectators at yesterday's ball game between the Abbie: and Holman's Intermediates. "They hustle pretty well,” stated Taylor, looking at the ball players Just after the Abbies had completed a double play. "I like that pitcher out there. What's his name?" he asked. ”MacI..ean, he only pitches about once a week and works the rest of the time." he was told. "He has no interest in playing professional ball." . . .

Taylor has done A lot of fighting. both in and out of the Army. He nearly eight years in the U.S Army and during that time he had 54 rights. In 1949 he won the World's Army Lightweight Championship. During his last hitch in the army he was coach of a boxing team. During his earlier Army dars Danny was an infan- trman where he picked up three wounds and numerous decorations.

After coining out of the Army Taylor was taken over by trainer Ray Alt-cl and turned professional. Art-cl by the w.iy is the man who looks after henvyireiizhl challenger Ezzard Charles. When Arcol took over Taylor he made the stipula- tion that Danny should quit fight- ing whcncver he started taking too many punches and getting llrkf-"d. Taylor figures he still has two good years left.

. . .

In fact when he goes back to New York Taylor hopes to get a crack at Chico Vejar. He has been training with Vejar and figures he can give him a good fight. During the past three years he has had 32 professional fights and has been on television quite a number of t'.mcs He has 11 pro- lessional I(ll0t'li0l.lLs to his credit.

The guy. whom Ring Magazine once described as R windmill throwing leather from all angles. is ii frank, friendly talker. He is smart and speaks German as well as he speaks English having pick- ed up the language while serving in Germany. He has a part.-interest in a clothing store in New York and when he is through with active boxing he plans to get info the managing end of the tight gamt-. Asked about his fight to- iiiglit with Don Trainor he stated: "They tell me has a smart kid. I don't make predictions but I'm awfully anxious to win. I like your town and I think I would like to come back and fight some more."

. . .

Mr-iinwhilc Don Trainor was lak- lnr: things easy yesterday after- iioori and evening. Trainor was in New Glasgow for a week training with Gary Simon and is in top shape for the bout. Trainor knows that this is quite a big fight for him and after his impressive string of victories this summer he feels

confident that he can in a t c Ii gloves with the v 0 ts r ii n New Yorker.

Trainor showed brilliant coiint.(-r- punching ability hr-rs: earlier this year in :i fight with Gerry Fraser. Taylor is another of the Fraser type who forces the fight continu- nlly. Fight promoter Ivan Dohcrty believes that Trainor has a lot of hidden tiils-iit which he hasn't shown this summer because he has not been pushed. One thing is 'certaln. The Charlottetown youth has come a long way this past year for enough to be ruled No. 2 contender for the Doiirintnn Middleweight crown. It will take a mighty good man to beat him.
