The day Mary was to come for Lydia, was thus pleased with itself. There had been a needed rnin in the night and all that grew re- joiccd. The birds uere about their happy business.

Lydia felt like the day and put en a dress like it. her suit woven from the Greek silk and color of the cornsilk with which, when a little girl. she had made braids for her doll Alexandria.

"And does she look smart!" cried Mary, as Lydia came out. to the car. She looked at her more in- tently and thought-She is beauti- ful. Or is she? Thoughueltfls the bones, the structure, Check bones rather high, chin delicate and sensitive. so were her nostrils sen- sitive and the modeling about her eyes. She had distinction, Mary thought, watchihg- Lydla- saying good-by to the children; here is something rare.

They started off gayly, chatting aibout gardens and houses and children. And underneath Lydia was thinking-I am going to be- come a little more acquainted “illi- my mother.

Marysmnther was a small dark woman, whose eyes darted here and there; she bad quick movements. like a. bird's. She welcomed Lydia warmly, in her quick, clipped voice. "My dear, we're glad you came home. You've been gaddlng around long enough. I wanted to see you. Your mother and r used to-Whal hair she had! And hcr eyes were as blue as the bluebells. once I held one up to see if they were were that blue."

"I want to hear ell about it," said Lydia.

But. at lunch Mrs. Nichols kept asking question about herself. How did she get along in those outland- ish countries? Were the DMD" civilized? What. did they "l? Mary's daughter had lunch with them.

"You're very well as you are. my dear. You have nothing to complain of. But. your mother was the most beautiful Bill l ever saw in my life."

Lydia only waited.

Tn closing this last. Corner of i949 I wish to pass on this bit information. At. time. of writing game prospects for 19M look bright. Thousands of gcese and ducks are still with us. The Huns show little effect of the open sen- son. Strong vlgorou: coveya, acme of them 35 strong, dot the country- side.

Our new upland game bird, the Chukker partridge, are showing up well. Quite a few large and healthy covey: are located in lev- erai widely aeparated diatricta.

sports Parade i949 ’ _ (Continued from Page T) BASEBALL

As a whole, the past baseball season can be termed. a highly luc- cenefui one. Probably the biggest factor contributing to its Iucceu was the shelving of the “City League" setup and the development of an Island Physical Fitness Intermediate Baseball League composed of the Charlottetown Abegwciis, Summerside Curran and Briggs and Sum- merside R. C.A. F. For its first ysar in operation, the Island League produced plenty of competition and good ball. _

Curran and Briggs, Alblbles and R.C.A.F. finished the regular schedule in that order, with the Aiibiee topping the Air Force boyson the semi-final round to go against the C. and B. aggregation in the fin- als. It was a hectic five-game series with the Ablbies showing to the fore in the initial games to hold a two to one game margin. In the fourth game the Curran and Briggs nine came through with : burst of power to tie up the series and then took the fifth and deciding game for the Island title. Nor did the powerful Weflern team stop at just the island crown. Continuing on, despite a lengthy layoff waiting for the Nova Scoiia champions to be declared, they took on the Meteghan Shipbullders in straight gamu for the two-Province championship. From there they went on to capture Maritime intermediate leurels by taking the Chstham lronmen, New Brunswick champions, into camp in two straight games.

Adding to the success of this year's baseball season, was the smart three-team Junior City League between the Knights of Columbus, Vic- toriss and Kinsmen. Ail came up with some classy performances throughout the schedule,‘ with the Knights and Vics winding up the regular schedule in that order. In a well-played, closely contested ser- ies finals, the Knights were the winners over the Vics for the City title. They advanced to defeat the Western champions, the Surnmerside Kinsmen Juniors, in an evenly matched Provincial series that was forc- cd into a third game before they were declared champions and advanc- ed into the N.B.-P.E.I. playdowris. But it was here, however, that the Knights finally met their match. They went up against a strong band of Dieppe Cardinals, New Brunswick champs, who sent them down to defeat in straight games.

There was also great activity in the minor leagues as well, with bantams, and midgets all participating in City and Provincial cornrpet- itions. The youngsters really turned in some snappy ball in all divisions. The Parkdale Midgets and the East End Bantams captured the City titles in their respective leagues, but lost out in both divisions for Pre- vincaai honors which were captured by the Summerside Kinsmen spon- sore cams.

TRACK AND HELD

Highlighting the Provincial track and field competitions were the fine performances turned in during the pest. year by the members of the Charlottetown Abegwelt Club team. They made a splendid show- ing in all four major Maritime meet: in capturing one first and three second: in team aggregate scoring and walked off with many in- dividual truck and flcld honors. Competing against crack teams rep- resenting the lending amateur athletic clubs all over the Marltlmcs, the Abbies added an extra distinction by producing a top-notch mile relay team in thr- senior division that was never beaten in all four Maritime champion meets. At the Antigoniali Highland Games in July the Ahbies placed second to Antlgonlsh, 14 points behind the winners, and n week later at ilie Bicentennial Meet at Halifax trailed 10 points behind Halifax Wanderers for lop honors. They lost. out by nniy four points in Antigonish in the defence of their Maritime title at. Amherst where the Maritime Track and Field Championship: were held on August 71h.

Putting on a terrific drive at the closing rneet of the season, the Abhics made just about a clean sweep against other Maritime Clubs. They amassed n total of 4i points over their nearest competitor at the Labor Day invitation Meet hold at Memorial Field at Charlottetown. During the season the Abbie senior squad won seventeen events, plac- ed second in fifteen and third in seven, and racked up a total of’ 203 points during the season, more than any other Club competing in the four Muritime meets.

Corning up with ii: largest entry list in history, the Third Annual Provincial Interscholastic Track and Field Championships held at Memorial Field on October 1st. was also a highlight event in com- petition during the season when a total of 190 entries turned out. representing 14 schools throughout. the Province, Prince Street School athletes were the big winners when they made a clean sweep of both the, boys‘ and girls‘ division to take double honors on the meet, In the, boys‘ events Queen Square School was a very close aecond while Prince of Wales College was third. In the girls’ events, West Kent School placed second to Prince Street and Rochford and Kensington Schools iicd for third plnce honors. Tt was a highly competitive meet which saw many standing scholastic record: broken in both div-

isions. GOLF

Island golfers also contributed much to the success and intermt of sporting nctlvlty throughout the year. with the Charlotteown, Caven- dish and Summerside Golf Cluibs enjoying : banner season.

Maurice "Mousey" Dowiing of the Belveclero Cluib retained his ls- land amateur championship title against close opposition from island golfers in the Provincial tournament held in August with William "Pud" Beer of ihe same club making it : close race for the runnerdup posi- tion. Dowling also won the men's title of the Charlottetown Club while Mrs. W. E. Cotton captured the Ladies Club championship.

A leading feature of the year was the holding of the ’Maritime Ladies Golf Championships at the Belvederc links of the Charlottetown Golf Club. Mr:. W. E. Cotton made a splendid showing to advance into the finals only to lose out to Mrs. Blair Gordon of St. Andrew’: Algonquin Club for the Maritime ladies title.

In the second annual Maritime Open High Handicap Golf Tourna- ment held over the Beivedere Course in August. youthful George An- drew of the Cavendish Club captured top honors with Dr. Keri Irwin of Charlottetown flnlnishing in second place.

RIFLE SHOOTING

The biggest fcrrtiire of the year in marksmanlhip, was the holding of the annuni iritcr-Niarltime Rifle Championship Shoot at Char- lottctown in Juno, when the P. E, Island team won the coveted title for the third ycnr in succession against top-ranking Maritime rifle ieama. 1t was an exceptionally highly competitive shoot with the Is- land team coming from behind in the final day's competitions to win out by a narrow margin ovcr New Brunswick who placcd second. The Provincial team was composed of W, M. Beatty, Major A, F, Gormlcy,’ Lt. B. B. Jones, Capt, R. A. McCabe (who later represented P. E. I. on the Canadian Blslcy team competing in England), Capt. E. R. Burke, Sgt. Roy Cotes, Lt. P. T. Hooper and Tpr. W, D. Cooke.

FOOTBALL

The 1949 rugby lesson was not a particularly extensive one with varsity and intermediate intercollegiate competition sharing most of the spotlight. The calibre of play, however, was of exceptional quai- ily with both division: turnlnglin smart and exciting performances that produced nil the essential features of good ball handling, effec- tive kicking nnd tackling and smooth team work.
