Look At The Standings

THOSE standings in the National Hockey League look un- familiar. _ _ Heading the parade are Detroit Red Wings and one point bsck,_ in second position, the the Boston Bruins.

Both Bruins and Wings failed to make the playoffs last sea- son but they are starting out this fall as though they intend to garner their share of points. Detroit has played three games thus his and has yet to taste defeat. They own decisions over New York Rangers and Montreal Canadiens and managed a scoreless tie with the Black Hawks from Chicago.

Boston also has played three contests without a setback. They grabbed a 5-0 verdict over Montreal last Thursday night and then on Saturday and Sunday earned draws with Toronto an Chicago.

lT’S true that the 70-game schedule is a more infant and that tiiere is loads of time to see things turn upside down. However, the fact remains that points garnered now count just as much as those in late February and early March. Two or three points may com! in very handy to some of these clubs come the last night of the regular schedule. Wings especially could have used a few extra points last March. .

Los Angeles Dodgers can tell you about early victories and what they mean to a club. Another triumph for the Dodgers in April or May and Giants wouldn't have made the world series.

And so Detroit and Boston may find these early season points most helpful when the Stanley Cup playdowns are being arranged. These early successes could be just the difference needed to get them into the charmed circle. Both Wings and Bruins must have decided they'd much sooner see somebody else watching from tl-c sidelines next spring.

And it may indeed be somebody else who will miss out on a playoff spot this season.

Abbies Take Crown

CIIARLOTTETOWN Abbies have emerged as midget baseball champions of the Maritimes and they did it in most impressive fashion.

Charlie Ryan was indeed a happy man as he came back to the capital Sunday night with his gneat little club. They had come tlnough magnificently in their final test and coach Ryan had every reason to be justly proud. .

In their entire playoff schedule, the Abbies didn't drop I single contest. They beat Summerside two straight, crushed St. Sti-pl-en in the same number and then blanked I-I ifax Orioles In this sudden-death fixture with the Maritime crown at stake.

While all the team is deserving of the highest commendation, we think it’s only fitting that an extreme word of praise go in the direction of Billy Weatherbie. The pitching feats of this young man were terrific and his final effort Sunday, a two-hlt job. was his masterpiece.

Billy hurled a lot of baseball this season and looked good every time he was on the mound. However. he showed his great- sst form once the midgets hit the playoff trail and he suirely was happy with his final achievement.

Undoubtedly the winning of a Maritime championship will bring a suitable reward to those youngsters. Maritime crows are hard u come by and we feel Charlottetown will not let this oc- casion pass without paying tribute to this great little team.

b C be awaiting to hear the time and place of such a cele- ra ‘on.

Aloueiies Surprise

THE greatest surprise in football over the weekend was pro- vided by Montreal Alouettes when they crushed the Toronto Amgos right in oronto. - '

The triumph gave Als' playoff hopes a great boost and left Argos in a rather bad situation. Montreal is two points up on Tor- onto and has one game in hand. This leaves the Argos reeling on the ropes and another loss will last about push them too of the picture.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—San Francisco Giants’ Billy Pierce returned to his happy hunting

over New York Yankees in sixth game.

Pierce. unbeaten at home with a 12-0 regular season. rec- ord ln this park, had lusty aid from Giant bats which knocked out Whitey Ford in the fifth ning—snapping his World Series victory string at five.

Orlando Cepeda snapped out of a horrible 0 for 12 batting slump with three straight hits and drove in two Giant runs in the nine-hit attack on Ford." The first 13 Yanks were re- tired in order by Pierce and some of the 43,948 fans began to recall Don Larsen‘: perfect game of 1956 until Roger Maris‘ slammed his fourth series home run over the right field fence. Pierce, a stylish 35-year-old

League background. had a one- hitter—-Maris’ home run—going until the eighth when Clete Boyer doubled with one out and‘ scored on Tony I(ubek’s single to soggy left field.
