They are all top-notch trotting and pacing entries too. from lead- ing island and mainland stables. and with 2 well-conditioned track to compete over, the least that at- tending fans can expect is a smart afternoon of keen racing enter- talnment.

With the anal matches in the Provincial Closed Tennis Tourna. nment-in progress over the Char- lottetown Tennis Club courts for the past two weeks--expected to wind-up today and Saturday. of- ficials of the City Club stated last night that they are planning to follow up the big event with the holding of their annual closed tournament. Play in the latter event is expected to get underway this week-end.or.ca:iy next week.

In view of this competition and interest that has been displayed in the Provincial tourney so far and is expected to prevail in no lesser degree in the remaining matches, local club officials are looking forward to a highly successful round of competition within the club itself. when a large list of en- tries from the club membership will contest one another for the various Charlottetown Club titles.

0 C O .

Although some players in the local club, such as Jim Palmer and Miss Audrey DeBlois. who captured the Provincial mixed doubles title, and Miss Helen Lar- ter who is the new 1950 ladies singles champion of the Province. will no doubt be the favourites to cop off leading honors again in club play. it will be by no means cut and dried. There are many players who although going down to defeat in the Provincial tourn- cy. can be depended upon to make strong bids for club honors. while still others, who for unforsecn circumstances. were unable to compete in Provincial play, are expected to be on hand as leading contenders.

I O Regardless of the players who will be the i1nai winners. how- ever. the tourney will fulfill the purpose for which it is held -to create a greater interest in the racquet wielding sport as a lead- ing feature of local sporting enter- tainment and provide an outlet for keen competitive play and good sportsmanship-a predomin- ating feature that can be found in all phases of sport in this "sport- ing Island Province.” 0 I 0 "No rule in baseball has been more thoroughly revised than the one covering the style of glove which the various players may wear" states Billy Evans, general manage of the Detroit Baseball Club. "The consensus of the base- ball experts" continues Evans. "is that the game has greatly benedi- ted by the changes made in glove specifications. It is generally ad- mitted that the athletes were go- ing much too far in the use of gadgets that made the average catch of a ball purely mechanical. rather than I display of unusual ability. ' I O O

"Strangely enough." states the Tiger's general manager, "the cat- chers alone have made no use for the trick gloves for which most of the players were falling. The catcher still may wear a leather glove or mitt of any size. shape or weight. Yet. most of the catchers today use a glove not nearly as large as those used 30 years ago. Ray Schalk. then with the Chi- cago White Sox. was the first great catcher to go to the small glove. it is now the generally ac- cepted lnodel.. .

"Perhaps a score of years ago. lnilelders. outflelders and pitchers began to go to the larger also in gloves. to which a trap or claw was added through the medium of wound or wrapped lacing. which usually made the glove I not type of trap. The trap in many instances was almost as large as the glove. The ilrst basemen were the greatest offenders. some of them so developed their contrap- tion that what was supposed to be a glove looked more like a but- terfly net. in most cases th-. nrat baseman, rather than nttlng the glove to his nngers. had a fastener inslde the glove to which he held. letting the ball take care of itself in the trap provided for that pur- pose.

"The shape of the glove became so distorted by the use of the

first baseman couldn't field a ground ball in the usual mariner but was compelled to sweep Itthe ball. hoping it would land in the net. It is a well-known fact that the skill of first base play has da- tsrloi-ated greatly because of the net type trap. favored by a great mejorlty of ilrst .ba:emen.

"rho glove used by the first baseman. or that of any other in- flalder or outilelder, may still have a mobbing of standard leath- ,e't--for lacing." concludes 'EVRlIl.

Nine Persons Succeed In English Channel Swim As New Records Made

DOVER. England. Aug.. 22-(AP) -Nine swimmers conquered the English Channel today.

An Egyptian army officer and a French electrician broke the all- fime record for the 10-mile cross- ing. Seven others. including two women. crawled ashore behind them in a mass race sponso ed by a London newspape .

Never, since Matthew Webb swam across the first time back in 1875, has there been anything like today's steady arrival of swimmers on the Dover coast from France. Only five persons swam the Chan- nel all last year and only 20 had done it in the 75 years since Webb. up to today.

Hassan Abd-El-Rehim. a 41- year-old Egyptian'army lieutenant won the race-and a prize of El,- 000 from the sponsoring London Daily Mall-in 10 hours, 53 min- u&es, the fastest time ever record- e .

He sprinted the last few hund- red yards to overtake tiring Roger Le Morvan. 26. Paris electrician. and beat him to shore by 10 min- utes.

His time was l2 minutes faster than the generally recognized re- cord of ll hours, five minutes. set in 1026 by Georges Michel of France. Le Morvan's official time was ll hours. three minutes.

Rchim is the first and only man evcr to swim the Channel three times. He did it first in 1948 and again las-t year.

The winner of the Daily Mail's H.000 prize for the -first woman to finish was Eileen Fenton, I 21- year-old English school teacher. In her first try at the Channel. she made the crossing in 15 hours. (it minutes. She placed sixth in the race, behind flvevmen. The other woman finisher was Jennie Kam-

designer. The women's record-13 hours. 20 minutes-was set just two

attached to the Armed Services.

In a brief telephone interview with Miss MacLcnnan last even- ing. she said "I feel very happy over my performance-it was the most wonderful accomplishment 1 have ever achieved or probably ever will again." Miss MECLEDHSD. a school teach- er by profession and a sister of Mr. George MacLcnnan of Alex- andria. a former member of the Canadian Bisley team. is deserv- ing of much credit for her out- standing performance-an accomp- lishment that every Islander can be proud of..

Horseshoe-Elub

Officials of the Brighton Horse- shoe Club announced last night that due to the fact that a number of additional entries have been received, the Provincial open Horseshoe singles sulrnament scheduled to get underway there tonight, has been postponed until Thursday evening at seven o'clock.

The entry list has now risen to twenty-five or more.

A special meeting of the tourna- ment executlve will meet tonight at seven o'clock in re-arrange the draw and playing schedule to ac- commodate the new entries. The following are those who compose the tourney executive, and are re- quested in be on hand tonight: - Cleorge Schleyer. Ernie Robin. Ren- nie Larter. Ambrose Doyle, Jim Davey, Len Phillips.
