The tid-bit o! the junior base- ball league schedule is on sched- ule for tonight when the Reece

and Kinsmen squads. both tied for the top spot over the seasons

play, clash in a. tie-breaking struggle that should eclipse the ruary fine junior performances

that have been turned out already this season. + il- ~0-

Picklng a thinner is a hard pro-_ position. There lS no doubting the class of the Reece team managed by Charlie Ryan and there is lit- tle doubt to the fact that the Mc- Neill-managecl Kinsmen are the most improved team in the league. Kinsmen have come along very fast and if they are on their best behaviour this evening fansshould witness a close, tense struggle all the way through.

1' + Q il-

Recco still are the heaviest hit- ting team in the Joop. Despite the fact that they have been playing with a makeshift lineup for s good number of games now, due to unavoidable absence of players they are still the heaviest stick wielding club in the league and whether this can ofiset the usdoubted fielding ability of their opponents remains to be seen.

+ il- + -l-

Attendances which have shown s. tendency to rise during the past few games shOtlid set a new mark for the junior league today. Ever since it became known that the two squads were tied in the standing interest in their next clash has been quite evident. That clash is now on tap and-it may be that fans will witness a pre- view of the playoffs, for it is ap- parent that the same two squads will be clashing in the series to decide the team that will go against the Summerside squad in the provincial playdeirns.

Boxing fans should be in for quite a. treat the night of August llth when Ace MoCloskey tackles rugged hard-hitting Ruby Marg- olin of Montreal in the feature event of the card promoter Char- lie Archer is staging on that date. MoCloskey, gradually climbing back up the fistic ladder after a couple of setbacks, will be meeting prob- ably the hardest hitter he has eves- faced and if he can get by the Montreal youngster will defin- itely be able to clamor for high- er-rated opponents.

il- -l- 1' 1-

Margolin, while a newcomer to Maritime fight fans, nevertheless has built up an impressive record in the 38 fights he has particip- ated in. He has lost only two of these encounters and his recent victory over Gabby Furlong of Montreal stamps him as a real performer, a. performer who it is said is able to hit and hit. hard and also absorb a lot of punish- ment.

The most notable victory of the Montreaier occurred Just a couple of weeks ago when he defeated the above-mentioned Furlong. Fur- long is a. conqueror ofGus "Pell" Mell and any fighter who can take the measure of the latter highly-rated fighter must have pl9l1tY.0T dynamite in his mitts and courage in his heart.

While the rest of the card has rim as yet been announced it. is expected that leading-Island mitt- slingers will be seen in action against well matched opponents. Local fight Tans do not care a great deal whether or not they see smart boxers in action but if they are given all-out oflorh by the performers they come sway satisfied, and it is with this idea in mind that the promoter is drawing up the forthcoming card

Hockey creeps in: In sharp contrast to his delaying actions last season. Rocket Richard has signed his new contract with Montreal Canadians‘, along with KennyReas-don and Murph Cham- berlain. Rocket, only 13 goals short of the coveted 200 mark, is all eagerness. He expects s good

Whitlock put down the uprising as he sci-tie]; out Gallant.

The score remained unchanged to the bottom half of the fourth when Rovers got their only tally.
