Aiibies Planning Senior. Intermediate Football Tunis

Officials of the Charlottetown Abegweit football team announced last night that they expect to have both a senior and intermediate team this year as the result of the

large tournout of players that has '

prevailed at practice sessions during the past week.

After being out of the football picture for a number of seasons the Abbie Club have been making a determined effort this year to form a team and get back into the com- petition again and the reaction has been a spontaneous one among local rugby players. They have been turning out in numbers of twenty- five and thirty at a single practice session and it is the feeling of the team management that both senior and intermediate teams should be formed in order to give all players who are anxious to play with the Club a chance to do so.

The joint coaching staff of Lt.- Col. W. J. MacDonald, Gordon Ben- nett and Jim Mccallum are very c.'.t:';.:lastic about the turnouts and the daily conditioning and practice sessions have progressed so well during the past week that they will hold their first scrimmage ses- ions this afternoon.

Officials also stated last night that negotiations with Mt. Allison

' University are already underway to

arrange an exhibition series with the Mainland University and that sim- ilar arrangements are being made with the local colleges as well. It is hoped that the first encounter of the season might be played next week.

Phillies Toiioniir Applications For Series Ticlieis

PI-IILADELPI-TIA. sept. 1.3 - (AP) -- Philadelphia Phillies an- nounced today they will honor ap- plications for World Series tickets postmarked after midnight EDT Wednesday. Sept. 20.

President Bob Carpenter said the Phils will sell tickets to single games and that the ducats won't be handled in n three-or-fouzw

game block as other clubs have done in the past. "This Way." Carpenter said.

"we'll be giving about 92,000 fa':.s an opportunity to see the World Series instead of 23,000." There are 32.500 seats at shibe Park and no standing room will be sold.

(The Phils have not yet cli-nche-i the pennant. but hold a 7 1-2- game lead over Boston Braves with only 13 games to play.)

Carpenter said applications must be accompanied by certified cheques or money orders with tl.e name and address of the applicant written in, the upper leftghano cor- ner of the ticket request. Applic- ations should be sent to the Phils- delphia Natlonal League Club; Box 6925; Philadelphia 32, Pa.

Box seats will be sold for 58.75 each. reserved seats for 56.50. Bleacher seat tickets of 31 each will be sold at the ball park.

Carpenter said that undai the Pliillles' precedent-breaking plan. tickets will be sold for the sixth and seventh games as well as the first and second and that money: will he dcfunded provided the sixth and seventh games are not plaved.

If the Phils win the National League pennant and .there is no playoff necessary in the American Leaa.ue. the series will open at Shibe Park Oct. 4.

DETROIT, Sept. 18 - (AP) - Bcston Red Sox today announced the purchase of Charles Maxwell and James Atkins from Birming- ham of the Southern Association Maxwell, a 23-year-old outfielder. hit .320 for the Barons and belted 24 home runs this season.

Western boxing fans and those of this quarter who will be taking in the bouts to be staged at the new

curllrig rink at Summerside to- morrow night should see some smart action when Bud Lund puts his Island lightweight title on the line against Roy "Tiger" Steele in a scheduled ten round feature at- traction. O C O The "Tiger," one of the leading contenders in the Province for Lund's crown. has been carrying out intensive training for the forth- coming bout and is expected to put up the stoutest bid of his career to wrest the. title frcm the defending champion. Steele has been training under the watchful eye of Aubrey Found, a man who has had consid- erable experience in the ring him- self as a former member of the Royal Canadian Dragoons boxing team in Montreal a few years ago. . . .

Mr. Found, who has been one of the leading promoters of bouts staged throughout the Province this Summer. has set up a gym in the basement of his home at Parkdale where many of the local boxers have been training for the past few months. He is keenly interested in building up the sport here and judging from the set-up he has put at the disposal of the boys, has done much already in achieving that end. . . .

Judging from all reports, Steele has been showing a vast improve- ment in his ringmanship, which added to his "always aggressive" style, should make him a rugged contender tomorrow night. But fol- lowers of the Lund camp are 103 per cent behind their champion. They say he has been taking his train- ing seriously for the bout and feel

that has kept him at the top of his division for so long will stand him in good stead when he steps into the ring on Wednesday night. It is this writer's opinion that it will be a smart bout with plenty of action which ever way it goes. a . .

That is only part of the promis- lng looking card that is to be stag- ed by Mr. Found in co-operation with Mr. George Guergis of Sum- merslde and sponsored by the Summerside Canadian Legion. Two semi-final contests and three good preliminaries will round off a. full evening of boxing entertainment. Bud Ramsay of Alberton will meet Bobby Gallant in a six-round wel- terweight scrnp while Louis Laff- erty and Curley Heron. both light- heavyweights of the City. will be the boys seen in the semi-final go's. U 0' I

The Ramsay-Gallan't scrap should provide plenty of action. Both boys are aggressive and hit hard al- though Gallant probably holds' the edge on experience and style that most City fans think will make him the final winner over the western welterweight. But the high powered fireworks is expected to -be witnes- sed tn the light-heavy clash between Lafferty and Heron. well known here for his rugged style, Lafferty is expected to have his hands full against I-Ieron. a comparatively new- comer to Island rings. but a young- ster who uses an unorthodox style that has drastic and damaging re- sults on his opponents. Few seem to have much opinion as to who will be the winner which indicates fair. ly well an to just the kind of fight it will be-knock 'em down and drag 'em out to the bitter end.

Yankees In.

By Steve Robertson

Canadian Press Sports Writer

Boston's flaming Red Sox seared Detroit's 'Tigers Monday for the second straight day with a ninth-inning. 3-2 victory that sent the Bosox within one game of the American League-leading New York Yankees.

A two-run rally in the ninth and another superb relief job by lion-hearted Ellis Kinder carried the Sox to victory and into second place past detroit. Boston now leads Detroit by. a half-game 'in the hectic race.

The Yanks were idle.

A looping single by Wall DFOPO and a fly out by Bobby Doerr drove home the tying and winning runs.

Trailing 2-1 going into the ninth. the Red Sox struck swiftly and were given a helping hand by Lady Luck. Billy Goodman, the league's leading hitter. whacked Hal Newhouser for a single. Ted Williams. hitless all day, got a hit with a high chopper in front of the plate.

When Newhouser threw past Don Kolvloway at first, Goodman raced to third. Then-wonder of wonders-Williams stole second as Newhouser took a full wind- up. The veteran lefthander was yanked and replaced by Hal White. White intentionally passed Vern Stephens to load the bases.

Dropo's single scored Goodman with the frying run. Doerr. who had singled home Boston's first run in the second inning, filed to centre to score Williams.

Now it was up to young Willard Nixon. who had pitched six-hit ball. to hold the vital lead. He threw three balls to Joe Ginsberg and that was all. Mana-get Steve O'Neill called on Kin-der, the 36- ycar old righthanded ace who had relieved in the last four consecu- tive games.

Kinder tossed two strikes but finally walked Ginsberg. Pinch- hitter Pat Mullin sacrificed Gins- berg io second. But Kinder got pinch-hitter Charley Kelle-r on a pop fly and Gerry Priddy on a grounder to end the game.

The win went to Nixon, his eighth against four losses. New- houser was charged with his Ilth defeat against 14 victories.

The thriller was the only Ameri- can League game of the day.

National League

In the National League. mean- while, the injury-plagued Phila- delphia Phillies received some comfort as the third-place Brook- lyn'Dodge'rs took another licking. 9-7. from Chicago.

That dropped the faltering Dodgers nine games behind the pacesetting Phils. The Phils and the second-place Boston Brave-A both were idle. Boston trails Philadelphia by 7'.-3 games.

Ron Northey's pinch-homer with the bases loaded in the seventh brought the Cubs. victory despite young Tommy Brown's three homers for Brooklyn. Trailing 8-3 the Brooks rallied for four runs in the eighth,includlng Brown's third homer, a two-run blast. Relief hurler Dutch Leonard doused the blaze.

In the only other National League contest. fast-moving New York routed St. Louis 13-0 behind Larry .Tansen's two-hit hurling. The win moved the Giants within a half-game of Brooklyn.

It was the fifth shutout of the year for Jansen and his l'Tl:h vic- tory against 12 defeats.

Cardinals Have Suspicion This Not Their Year

-....- a

By WHITNEY MARTIN

NEW YORK. Sept. 18 - (AP) - st. Louis Cardinals have a sus- picion that this just wasn't their Year. v

"Lost 30 games by one run." coach Terry Moore said. "Thirty games," be repeated, and Enos Slaughter, the Cardinal cutfielder who is anybody: idea of a baseball player, nooded glumly in agree- ment.

We were a little skeptical. of that figure. so we checked on it, It's only 20 games. but that's like say- in: you don't lose 3100, but only 880.75.

"we Just cculdn'tshit with men on bases," Slaughter put in. "I've been in a slump. Stan Musial, al- though he's hit steadily on the whole, hasn't been hitting with men on. He and I should have bat- ted in 140 rims apiece."

"The team not only hasn't been getting base hits." Moore added. "We haven't even been able to get a fly ball to score a run that might tie or win a game.

"Our pitching has been good. Our fielding hasn't been so good But it's the lack of hitting that has cost us."

Both slaughter and Moore fig- ure that the same Cardinal team. with an 'average number of breaks. and with the players hitting as. they can hit, would have won the National League pennant.

"I don't know, though," alauch-I ter said thoughtfully. "I just don't think we were supposed to win this year. You know how seldom an umpire gets hit by a batted ball. Well. in one of our games it hap- pened twice. and cost us the game. when those things happen, you figure it must not be in the cards for you to win.”

It was obvious that neither slaughter nor Moore figures the team's abrupt tailspin which elim- inated it from the race was due to the inroads of us. A common idea is that the Cardinals .suddealy have been taken old. and that on a still evening you could hear their joints creaking for blacks. ,

In fact. they gave the idea they think the same team can win next year. with a little help from the farm clubs.

Sport Echoes From Prince county.

Curran ii: Briggs have taken their first step towards another Maritime championship. Whether they can taken the rest of the steps is something else again. In other years their hardest team to hurdle was the Charlottetown Abegweits. Oncethey got by them, the going was much smoother. Will the Fai- cons prove their chief stumbling block this year? Certainly they didn't look too formidable in that first contest which they lost by a 10 to 4 score. The rest cf the games may be close ones, decided by the breaks. however, The Falcons have a lot of good ball players on their team. They will miss Lefty Mc- Alee1"s fancy flinging should this ace southpaw not be able to get back on the firing line this sea- son. But they have some good youngsters,.Benny Carson showed his worth against the R..C.A.F. squad in their second game. Red Mackenzie pitched a two-hitter against the airmen. and is a much better pitcher than he seem- ed to be against the construction crew last Sunday. It just wasn't his day, that's all,

0 0 I

on the other hand, the Curran dc Briggs team is not very strongly fortified on the mound. They seem to have just two pitchers ready for mound duty in these important final games. Alan Stewart and Joe Bernard. Alan pitched superbly in the first contest, and there is every reason to believe that Joe Bernard can duplicate that feat in Char- lcttetown Wednesday. But two first string pitchers are little en- ough to depend upon in a best three out of five series. If one of these boys has an off day, and the other has to come in to relieve him. that's gcing to complicate matters considerably.

O O O

The fans expect a close. exciting series between these two teams. and before the end of the string that's what it may be. We wouldn't be surprised either if the ultimate win- her went right through for another Island Maritime championship.
