Some of the youngsters were pop-eyed as they rushed about making last-minute preparations.

lMany of the out-of-town athletes

went sight-seeing, visited friends chatting in groups about their hotels. Tele- grams from home folks and well- wishers poured in.

The Canadian team is scheduled to entrainjor Halifax Wednesday.

Arrangements are being maria to transport the whole team by buses, in relays from one point to another, in case of a railway strike.

Tonight all the Olympic athletq» were invited to a track meet at the recreation centre of the town of Mount Royal. A number of out- of-towners who did not make the Olympic track and field squad competed in the show.

Three additions to the track and field group were made today by the Canadian Olympic committee.

Flushed with their jinx-breaking victory over the Rovers last Thurs-

day night Irv. McKlnnons base- ball crew will be gunning for their second straight victory tonight when they tackle the league-lead- ing Anchors in a postponed game of the first section c-f the City Ball League. If the cellar dwellers can come through with as good a performance as they did their last time out the westenders are go- ing to experience a lot of difficul- ty in keeping their undefeated rec- ord intact. I O O

Millionaires played heads-up ball against the Northenders and once they had assumed the lead came through with a defensive perform- ance that was the equal of any-

thing witnessed here this As we said before Sam McDonald has filled a big hole behind the plate and if the Millionaires can continue to get a. fair kind of pitching they are going to be mighty tough from here in.

I O I .

The rival pitchers were not named at the time of writing. It

is not likely that big Elmer Lar-

ter will go to the mound after

pitching Sunday's encounter a.-

gainst the Moncton squad and. it

is quits possible that “Fat" Con-

nors may get the nod from mana-

ger McKinnon; Connors, when

right can prove plenty of a puzzle

to opposing batters and it may be

that he is destined to hurl his mates to their second straight vic-

toryllither McAleer or Ready, both lefthanders and both sporting un- defeated records, will likely be Manager Fred McCabeb choice for the Anchors.

O O I I

Scoring statistics of the first section of the Junior Baseball Lea-guc shows Glen Matheson. Reece third sacker having a mon- opoly on most of the batting rec- ords to date for in addition to cloutlng an astounding .608 in the first eight games of the league is also leading in four other depart- ments while sharing first spot in still another.

I I I Matheson‘: performance comes as little surprise for

the big youngster is holding his own pretty well in the intermediate league and while he is down the list at present many baseball fans are of the opinion that before the season ends _he will be making a terrific bid for the intermediate title as well as the junior crown. although in the latter case Eddie‘ Lund with a big .500 still poses quite c. threat. I I I Serving notice that they will be ln the hunt for the second section title, Ev. lVfcNellYs juvenile Kins- men last night looked impressive as they took the Reece team into camp by a 4-3 score in another baseball thriller that the junior loop is starting to dish out regu- larly. O I I As the score indicates the game was a closely-knit affair all the way through with the Kinsmen do- ing it the hard way by coming from behind a three run deficit by outhitting the Reece crew and playing smart ball behind .the four hit flinging of Jackie Cairns. I I I

And the flinging of Cairns in last night's tussle indicates also that the youngster who up to last night had been unable to hit his real stride has at last reached the peak that last year saw him win- nlng the most number of games in City League play. And that will mean plenty to the Kinsmen tsaI for it gives them additional pitch- ing strength and adds strength to a team that has been coming along like a prairie fire in late games. O O I

Prediction of fans who have been following the league closely is that the race would develop into a wide open affair i3 beginning to bear fruit. For awhile it appeared as if the Recqe crew would spread-eagle the field due in large part to their hitting ability but it has been proven now that they can be stoo- ped and the remainder. of the games in this section should be well worth watching. Knights are still on the outside but they too will likely play s. much improved brand of ball now that the teams have rounded the turning point of the schedule and with every game having s. direct bearing on the playoffs all three squads will likely throw all the power they have into each and every tussle.

Sunny Green Acres Race Track Opens

The day (July 10th.) was sunny and the landscape was green at

Nelson Matfniesonb race track at Springfield on Saturday and an- other new race track made its debut. The race had all the at- tributes and trimmings of the “big time" meets. Although the racing togs of the drivers and the sulk- ies (were not a3‘ glamorous as on the Charlottetown speedway, tha intense. interest displayed by the spectators presaged success for the new truck.

The race course is n good one, laid out in the orthodox Harry O'Brien style-sixty feet. wide on the home stretch-room for six horses abreast. There were three classes, A, B, and C Trot and Pace and a match race between Laddle Dale (Mack Ferguson, Cavendish) end Rosa Marie (Joseph 0. Gal- lant, Hope River). won by Lsddie Dale after losing the first heat.

There was a lot of private, even money betting on this race, The other classes were well filled and closely ‘ ‘ ’.

The sound system controlled by Messrs Bulge: Ind Mefluigai cl Hope River articulated and en- unciated clearly. Considerable in- terest pus evinced in the pari- mutusl betting machine.
