Lesnevlch, who weighed 174 3-4. led during the early rounds nut never could catch up with the 174- pound Maxim after the Cievelsnder started throwing that lightning- like left.

The real losers of the fight, how- ever were promoters Sam and Ben Becker. There was a disappointing crowd of only 6,931 on hand in the new Cincinnati Garden. The gross late was $56,151 and tho backers had guaranteed Lesnevlch $50.!!!) and lVinxim $15,000.

The Sunamersido Curran and Briggs baseball team defeated St. Joheph’: team from Nuw Brun- swick st the Curran and Briggs diamond yesterday in both ends of a double header, taking the af- ternoon nine inning game 20-11 and nosing out the visitors in the abbreviated night cap 14-10. The second gum; went only five inn- ings. ‘The weather was much cool- er than during last year's October contests and because of a high chilling wuid which swept across the playing field, good play was impossible, and some very-weird displays of ths summer pastime was in evidence.

Joe Bernard's feat of striking out l6 batters 1n the afternoon gam¢ was one of the highights, as was the clouting of Henry Gal- lant, Bob Schunrnan, Joe Bernard, Cecil Powell and Bill Allen. The St. Joseph's team completed the only double play of the day in the last half of the first inning, and their snappy play in the field at that juncture impressed local fans. The first inning ended 5 to 0 in their favour but Bernard's wizard. ry kept them in subjection while he remained on the mound, and the Curran and Briggs boys, find- 1118 their battery eyfii. scored s. tr» tal of l0 runs in the next two inn- ings.

The visitors led molt of the way in the nightcap but the home boys had s big inning in the fourth. which enabled them to catch up, and they scored the winning run with two out in the last of the fifth. Arsenault reliev- ing Pony Daley in the fifth, was hit hard and 6 runs were collect- ed off his slants, making the score 13 to 1-1. The Summrrslde nine got two walks and three hits ofr Gonzales in their half to eke out the victory.

Deqilte the fact that tho wea- ther was not up to psr for outdoor sporting enthusiasts, nevertheless most of the sporting events sched- uled over the Victoria Day hol- iday were run off on schedule and met with much success regardless of tihe unsettled weather. .

Although the ball game between the Abegweits and Summerside R.- CAF. had to be postponed because of the wet condition of Memorial Field, the rest of the scheduled program sponsored by the Depart- ment of Physical Fitness and the Charlottetown Playground Com- mission was carried out success- fully.

o e

Large crowds of spectators gsth- ered round the finishing point at the Charlottetown Armouries to see‘ the winners come in at the end of the six-mile road race and the ten-mile bicycle race, which pro- vided plernty of keen competition for the various entries. I O O

Although the weather was defin- itely not in favor with the partic- ipants. they still made a particu- larly good showing, with John Pa-ul of Wentworth, N.S. travelling the six-mile course in the good time of thirty-four minutes and two seconds. while in the bicycle race young Harold Lee of Queen Square School pushed his bike over the ten-mile route in thirty- flve minutes and fifty-five seconds. 0 O O

The Skeet Shooting champion- ships were also rarried out with much success, with 26 contestants weathering the cold. breezy ele- ments on the Tea Hill site to turn in some really smart feats of marksmanship and roll up some good scores despite the unfavour- able shooting conditions.

Enthusiasts of two phases of sporting activity who took a bit of a beating us far as participating in their favourite pastime was con- earned were the golfers and tennis enthusiasts. Although a few. did turn out on the Belvedere links to take part in the sweepstake matches being held there, the turnout wasn't anything like what it might have been had not old man weather intervened with cold. raw winds and left tlie greens and fairways in a wet. soft condition. O O O

Although the Charlottetown Tennis Club had planned on yes- terday as being the opening day to launch their season on its way the heavy rain on Monday made ii impossible to mark the courts out properly and, adding to the none too dry texture of the playing sur- faces. completely killed any chances of play during yesterday, and caus- ed the postponement of the open- ing to a later date. The Holy Name and Holy Redee nus Clubs suffered the same fate. and just had to be content to let their tennis activit- ies wene for the ‘tlmf being.

The ardent 24th of May anglers didn't seem to be out in isuch numbers as on previous years either, and although some did brave the elements for a while, most of them were seen on the homeward trend fairly early in the day, not looking too happy over the situation. And although some might have landed a few big ones throughout the day. it is a safe bet that they were Just as cold as the proverbial “cold fish" they ‘were angling for.
