Split Double

The Momraincook Rovers and the Charlottetown Aiblbies split their baseball double-header here yesterday with the 1-lovers taking the float game 9-6 and the Abbies winning the night -ca-p 4-2. The games were played before a fair sized crowd of fans at the Mem orial Field diamond. '

Lefty MoAleer went all the way to win for the Abbies in the second game. setting down the visitors on six hits. Pius Gaudel. former Big Four hockey star, went the route for the Menuiamcook nine in the opener although he was hit freely. Jackie Burke was the loser. ' '

The Rovers broke a 5-5 tie in the ninth inning to win the first contest. They went to bat at the top of the ninth and put together a triple, two singles, two walks and a field-ers choice for four runs. Buck Whitlock! home run into centre field in the last of the ninth was the Alblbies last effort.

After battling through three scoreless innings the Rovers went into a 2-1 lead in the fourth. They increased it to 3-1 in the sixth and Carson. who started on the mou-nd for the Alblbies was re- lievcd by Bur-kc.

Rovers scored twice in the lop iii the seventh to go ahead 5-i. Then in the last of the seventh th-e Abbies exploded for four runs. MacNeil1, MacKinnon and Lewis hit singles. McNcilllwas out at the plate as Whitlock went lo first on a ficlders choice but Mc- Kinnon and Lewis scored as Cairns went to first on an error. Maccallum grounded out to send home Whitlock and Cairns scored on LcClaii"s single for the tying iilill.

Alvbcrt Guudci. lcft fielder for the visitors was the big gun in the

Rovers attack. He had three sin- gles and a triple in four tries, scored ihree runs, drove in one and imade several great fielding plays. ' Ccntrc fielder Brian Lewis of - lhe Afbbics was the big sticker for l the local crc-w as he belted out three singles in four trips.

While the first game was a battle of batters the second was a battle of pitchers. For five in- ning; the Abbies got only one hit off the visiiingpitcherswhile Mc- Aleer gave up but three. The Ab- bies came through with five hits in the last three innings.

The Avblbies made their one hit in me first inning a good one. With two men out Brian Lewis lined a long drive out to right fielder Cormier who knocked it down but failed in hold onto the ball. Then Whitlock drove a single in-to right to send home Lewis from second.

The local team held their slim lead until the top of the sixth inning when Cormier sacked a four bagger into right field with one man riding the sacks to make the score 2-1. Abbies evened mat- ters in their half of the inning when Whitlock and Flynn singled.

Sport Echoes From Prince County

I ' only four batters .300

are batting or better in the Summerside A.A.A. League. All of them are sporting 1-Iolms.n's uniforms. Here they are: " ABHPtc Gord Mac.-Kay, Holman's 22 10 .455 Norm Underwood. 1-1olman's .. 22 9 .409 Hank Landry, I-lolman's 16 6 .315 Gerard Bernard. Holrman's . .. 18 0 .363

In spite of this "base-hit" mon- opoly which Holnian's enjoy the league standing is as tight as a drum with Holmanls, R. C. A. F. and C dc B tied three games won and three games lost. I-lolma,n's hitting supremacy is not confined to these top four either. I-lolman's have a team batting average of .291, the R. C. A. F. have .190 and C 8: B .175.

If this keeps up. we can nominate the Curranites as ”The Hitless Wonders of 196 ." These kids are doing a fine job considering the number of un-tried youngsters playing. Glllis, Green and Sonier are just breaking in, and the for- mer two have been holding down regular positions.

Grady, Delaney, Walker, G. Dalton, E Dalton are sophomores but most of them didn't see much action last year. "Lefty" Lefurgey is the only beginner among the pitchers, but all' except Stewart are comparatively inexperienced.

And now to get caught up in our ”fc1icitation" department. Con- gratulations are due Garth Gay, Summerside's exponent of the "nothing" ball, and Mrs. Gay, (Joanie to her friends) on the ar- rival of a baby daughter. Con- zrrattilationn. ioo, to "Babs" Fitz- gerald, our contemporary in the sports column business. "Babs" has joined the bencdicts, for better or worse, etc. Our wish is that it will be "for better, for richer, in health."
