I-Iesdlining this week's sports program that will include hsrnel racing and baseball, will be tlll

battle for the Maritime ladies’ golf title which gets underway over the rolling fairways of Bel- vedere Golf course this afternoon with the staging of the President vs. Vice President's match. O O O

But the fight for the three- Province crown andthe glory that goes with it will begin in earnest on Tuesday morning when the 18- hole qualifying round will be fired. Members of the ‘ ,’ ship flight together with the oth- er flights start out on Wednesday morning and before the cham- pionship is decided around noon on Friday the big crowd of spec- tators expected should witness some stirring exhibitions of golf by the so-called weaker sex.

O O O

While outside the Province oom- petitors such as Miss Barbers Trites, Miss Carine Wilson and Mrs. Blair Gordon along with others will likely be installed as favorites to come through, the local club will have strong repre- sentatlon. In the past few years, the brand of golf being played by the ladies of the local club has improved considerably, not only among the older and tested mem- bers but also among the younger members.

O O

Not mentioning any names, but it is s known fact that local members have been ‘playing a consistent brand of golf in the weeks preceding this tournament and should any one of them re- tain the fine form they have been exhibiting lt is easily possible that they will put up a stout battle for top honors. They have done it in the past and this week play- ing on their home course they should prove to be tougher op- ponents than ever.

O O O

Irrespective of what happens in the future harness racing fans bereabouts will not forget the sensational harness racing duels they have already witnessed here this season in both day snd night meetings. O O '

In this writer's memory at least former seasons never crammed in such nerve-tingling competition, upset victories snd all round rec- ing performances that have‘ been witnessed here ever since the season opened. snd if the Pro- vince never deserved the oogno- men of "The Kentucky of Csn- ada" before, it certainly deserves it now.

O O O

Saturday night's program. billed as being sn outstanding one, was even better than that. In ell nine

_ heats it was battles every inch of

the way and as s result the fans sew finishes that, to sdopt s well- known phrase, "one dreams about but seldom sees." Right to the wire the outcome was in doubt with usually four and Ave horses in the running and in most cases the Godfrey photo finish comers had to be used to split them spurt.

O O O

Racing of this sort "is bound to attract more and more fans snd that is exactly how it_ is turning out. The writer would say that Saturday night's crowd wu the largest of the season to date snd that they were well repaid for their attendance was well borne out by the many one remarks hesrd es they milled through the gates after the Anni hat.

O O O

The same can be slid of the Wednesday afternoon meetings. These too have been productive of the closest racing in years. Times may not be as fest ss those turned in previously but that fr being more than psid up for in the excitement. uncertainty snd bottles the evenly classified fields are waging every time they {eke the word.

O O

Old Home Week. now-less than s month sway, will probably be the biggest record-breaking one 1n history. Already s record entry list is assured; purses srs the largest ever offered snd with entries being attracted from s11 over the Dominion snd some ports of the United States, harness rec- ing followers can be assured of an action-packed, thrill-peeked period from August 15th to 10th inclusive.

TI-IE GUARDIAN,

A rifle shooting competition spon- sored by the United Services Offi- cers’ Club who have donated the sum of one hundred dollars for the event will take place at the range at Alexandra Wednesday afternoon, July 27th starting at 1.30 p.m. it was announced last night by Lt. Col. W. J. MacDonald, secretary of the Provincial Rifle Association.

Abbies And Team In 12

Battling each other tooth and nail for twelve innings, the Cur- ran and Briggs squad from Sum- merside and the Charlottetown Abbies fought to s scoreless draw yesterday afternoon on Memorial Field diamond in a regular Island League baseball game. Played be- fore a large turnout of fans, both teams put on about the best dis- play of ball played here in re- cent years.

The game, highlighted by the superb pitching of "Lefty" Mac- Aleer of the Abbies and “Joe" Bernard of the visitors, plus the fine fielding by“both teams, was in doubt up till the final out. Both had numerous chances to score

but tight fielding foiled the chances. The Abbies left twelve runners stranded on the base-

paths against the visitors‘ four. In their first turn at the plate Abbies gave indication that they were out to get revenge for their last pasting at the hands of the C. d: B. team as Charlie Ryan singled with two away. Roy "Buck" Whitlock, the cleanup bat- ter for the locals then socked s Bernard pitch into deep right. Whitlock circled the basepathsbut his effort was in vain as Umpire Jackie Kane called his blow foul. At the most it was foul by s half foot.

In the third frame it was the 1ocsls'sglln who nearly lent s runner across the platter s: three batters reached first base, but the uprising was ended as Ryan grounded out to the pitcher. The next reel chance of sny scoring being done wsl in the first half of the seventh inning as Syl Ber- nsrd, C. 8s B. second baseman led of! with s tremendous triple info left field. But on the next play he was cut down st the plate as Whltiock threw s perfect strike to Lsrter who tugged Bernard out. McKay made first on the throw to the plate. lie stole second but died there u G. Bernard snd B. Brody failed to hit after Mulhol- land was walked. In the last half of the some frame the Abbies sgsln osme back with sn uprising that threw s scare fntb the west- erners.

With one sway Trsinor was ssfe on the shortstopb error. He ud- vsnccd to second n Goodwin drew s pass. On the next play, bow- ever, he was forced out on the shortstopb throw. MscAleer strudr out to end the inning. In the top half of the eighth frsme "Hank" Lendry walloped s triple into left field with one man out. But the next batter lll0 hit to Whit- lock and the Abbie shortstop cut Landry down st the plats with another nice throw, Gallant, the better going all the wsy tofiec- ond on the ploy; but he was caught trying to steal third base by Lsrteru perfect heave. In the home half of the some frsme the locals crowded the socks on two singles snd on intentional wslk to Whitlock. But the next two bst- ters were out and the Abbies add- ed two more runners to their left-on-bsse list.
