Although regular scheduled ball is not slated to get underway ‘here until next Sunday when the Is- land Baseball League gets under-

way. the season was successfully launched here yesterday afternoon. when the Charlottetown Albies and Summerside Curran and Briggs battled it out for six inn- ings to end up in a. 4-4 deadlock. The game was scheduled for nine innings but had to be called at the end of the sixth on account of rain, It was the second exhibition game between the two squads, with Summerside taking the first at the western Capital a week ago by a score of 7-2. O O O

With the game getting under- way around 2:30. under what look- ed to be an ideal clay with little wind and bright sunshine which brought with it a large turnout of baseball fans to witness the boys in action, dark clouds gathered overhead as the game progressed and by the time the end oi the sixtlh innings had been reached. sent down a steady rain which made it impossible t-‘o carry on.

However, the attending fans saw plenty of good ball while the game lasted, with both teams playing close to the line and only allowing one error a/piece, and turning in some nice fielding, pitching and bat/ting. with Bernard of Surn- fnfirlidQ and Smith of Abbies turn- ing in good performances on the mound for five innings each. Lefty MacAleer of Abbies and Pow- ell o! Summerside both relieved 1n the sixth. but neither had tlcne to get really wound up before the game ended.

O O O

The Abbies took the lead early in the game when batted Stanley in from second on a single to centre field off Bern- ard after Smith had held the Sum- merside nine to a. inc-run, no-hit first half. But the Curran and Briggs squad had their big inning in the third when they started getting to Smith's pitoh. Jimmy Grady's single to right field with the based loaded brought in McKay and Schurman. while Geudet/s single to centre field put Landry and Grady across the plate for a four-run innings, and a three-run lead in the game.

O O

The Abbies came back with three runs in the fifth. however. to put them back in the game again and tie up the score. Whitlock started the spree when he tapped Bernard for a single to third and Bennes- sey following it up with a. single to left field to put two men on, but Idlrter’: ground ball to second forced out Hennessey and put him- self on first with a fieldei-‘s choice. Whitlock made home with a. nice run on the play and with Stanley getting to first on a walk from Bernard, Charlie Ryan came through ‘with a nice single to cen- tre field which brought in Larter and Stanley for thatieing runs.

Despite the fact that the local entries in the Acadia 'l‘raek and Field champion ‘ ', held at Woli- vllle.’ N.S. on Friday and Saturday. dldnt cop off any of the top hon. ors in the finals, they nevertheless ""66 l 800d showing in the semi. finals and managed to ring in on some of the second and third place honors in the finals.

O O O

Allhflllih Mainland reverts last night gave very little on the plac- ings in the finals, it was learned last night from those who had re- turned from the meet. that the team sponsored by the Charlotte- town Victoria Club made a very good showing. It could not be learned how the five-man team sponsored b! the Charlottetown Abegweit Club fared out as reillrds piacings as the team had appar- ently not arrived back in the City at time of writing.

O O O Leading the parade for the Vic- toria team was Jackie Brown of P.W.C. who garnered _a second in the 100-Yard dash finals and a third in the 440-yard dash finals in

ing. Alex Kellner and Eddie Joost combined to pace Philadelphia

Athletics to u. 3-1 victory over the Yankees, snapping the New York- ers’ six-game winning streak. Kell- ner limited the American League leader; to six hits while Joost pol- ed out a. two-run homer in thh iiith inning.

By salvaging the finale of a three-game series, the A's regained second place from Boston Red Sox, who bowed to Washington Senators.

The A's broke a. scoreless tic in the fifth when they touched Bob Porterfield for all their runs. Manager Lou Boudreaus pinch single with the bases loaded drove in the winning run in the 11th inning as Cleveland Indians de- feated Chicago White Sox 2-1 in the second game of a doubleheader before 47,769 persons.

It was also understood that Bennett MacDonald of P.W.C.. competing in the Class "A" 100- yard dash event. hcd finished sec- ond in the semi-finals, had been disqualified from entering the iin- als when he moved from his own lane during the race. to avoid run. ning into the crowd who were lined along the track.

Considering in; fhct mt tau is the first meet of the year and most of the boys had had very lit- tle time to get in much training previous to the event, and also the first team to be sponsored by the Victoria Club since its reorganisa- tion only a month or two ago. they have made s. creditable showing which bodes well ior the future. and no doubt will be heard from more often from new on.

O O O

when it is found out how the Abegweit team. which made such a splendid showing in track and field events last year, did in the iinal round of the recent meet, it will probably add considerable to the feats accomplished ever there by the group of some ~10 young athletes from the City who pitted their skill against some of the best in the Maritimes.
