R.C.A.F. Team Defeats Abbies 6-4 In Island Baseball League Game

Playing heads-up ball behind their pitcher's effective hurling, the R. C. A. F. baseball team de- feated the Abbies from Char- lottetown by a score o! 6-4 at Memorial Field yesterday after- noon to win their first game in the Island Baseball League. Com- in: from behind a four-run Abbie lead. the visiting Flyers played a great game in the last five inn- ings and. aided by the poor judg- ment of the locals in the last frame, finally won the game that has eluded them in their first. two encounters with the Abbies.

The locals opened the scoring In the first frame as Joey Le- Clair led off with a double. ad- vanced to third on an infield out! and came home when the Airl Force pitcher threw wild to the] plate. They increased their lead, IO four runs in the fourth inningi ls they came through with five: hits. Buck Whit1ock‘s triple high- i lighted the frame. But cyriii, Smith on the mound for the Ab-i bies was tiring fast and the Fly- ers were getting to his offerings, in the first four frames for four! bingles. |

In the sixth frame the Airmen came to life with a hang as they combed the offerings of Smith for two good hits. and this cuupiedi with his own wildness gave the‘ visitors three tallies. In the fol-I lowing inning they tied the hail game up when a walk. a sacrifice. i and a ion): single accounted for the run. They scored (lie winning runs in the next inning. Lamy. who had replaced Greig in the inning before. led off with a single. and Cox sacrificed him to second. Labonte tiicn rifled n, single through to the outfield. scoring Lamy with their first run of the inning. ii/iickus kept the rally going by hitting a single with Hume hitting a long fly and Doc Lyon walking. The next batter was Bull Carson and he was safe at first on Whitlock's error, with Llbonte tallying on the play. Mic- kus tried to score also but Whit- lock cut him down with a perfect throw to Perry at the plate.

In the last half of the eighth the home team made a good try to get back in the running as Buck ‘Whitlock smacked his second hit n! the day, a single. But he was caught stealing second on a beau- tiful throw to the keystone sack by Jack Hume, the Flycrs‘ catch- Matheson flied out but Art

The ninth inning saw the alr- rneri go down without a hit. ai- though Barron was walked and advanced to second on a stolen base. He died there as the next {on blue" went down under the‘ hurling of MacAleer.

The bottom half of the innint! —w the locals put on a display of greless baserunning as they bat-; ted four singles and also had a’ walk credited to them but failed m score a single run. Goodwin ‘titted it off with a clean cut sin-

Larter, the next batter, walked and was also caught try- ing to pilfer the keystone sack on a rundown play with the pitcher. second baseman, and the first base- man all being in on the play. The next three batters, LeCiair, Mc- Kinnon and Ryan, all singled. But Whltlock popped up to the centro- fielder for the final out of the game.

Two really good catches were pulled off by Goodwin of the los- ers and Lyon of the winners. Goodwin went far to his right into centrefield to gather in Fey's fly to rob the airman of at least two bases. Lyon made a spectacular shoestring catch of Stanley's Texas Leaguer in the eighth with a run- ner on third base and two down.

The locals outhit the Flyers 13- 10 but the Airman made their hi8 count for rui-is while the Abbies could not. Hitting honours for the afternoon were divided up be- tween Buck Whitlock and Art Perry of the Abbies and Labonte of the winners as they each hit two for four. Labonte drove in four runs including a rocking three-run double in the sixth frame. Whitlock and Perry each had a triple and a single to show for the afternoon.

Starting the sporting parade was the Inter-Maritime rifle champ- ionships which were held at the Squaw Point range on Saturday morning and afternoon, with the P.E.I. team coming through with some splendid shooting to retain the historic Inter-Maritime trophy which they have won for three con- secutive years. The competitions provided some expert marksman- ship throughout the rlay. with a local team member, Major A. F.

Island Marksman Win Maritime Trophy Third Straight Year

Trailing the strong Nev; Bruns- wick team by four points going up to (he tough HID-yard range, Prince Edward Island's marksman came through with an outstanding dis- play of shooting Saturday to cap- turc the Inter-(Marlturie title for the third year ir. a row as they piled up a total of 258 points at (ha; long distance while the New Brunswickers were falling back to a 246 total. It gave the Islanders the title by a. margin of eight point; while in third position was Nova Scotia representatives with a 24;). The tolal grand scores for the meet were P.E.I. 773, N.B.. 765 and N .S. 755.

The big crowd of onlookers saw the Winners trail the other two teams on the short 200 yard range; they sensed the comeback on the 500 as the Islanders gained back two points but they hardly ex- pected. the performance that was to come when the titlists piled up 258 out of a possible 280 points on that far-away bull on the 600.

Leading the Island team to vic- tory was Major AF. (Brick) Gormleiq-crack Island shot and ion-nei- Bislcy man with a total of 101. just four away from a possible. "Brick“ had a possible on the 500 and together wibh W.0. i R. Mit- chell of New Brunswick were the only two marksmen (o get perfect scores. Mitchell's effort also came on the 500.

Police Chief J..D. O'Connell and Capt. ii A. Flower led the New Bi-uii-swickers with 99's while Major Cyril Kennedy and HJ-l. Morse led the Nova Scotians with identical totals.

Although there was a bright, hot sun beating down on the range all day, which caused a bit too much glare at times, a liglht (all wind blowing directly on the targets made the weather nigh onto per- fect for the meet. with the excep- tion of a slight cross-wind during the early part of the 200-yard shoot. .

"My friend Henry George Sal- slnzer writes: ‘Big league baseball players are the worst conditioned of all athletes.’ As usual, Henry is quite right, but he docs not go far enough. I would say that ball-play- ers are the worst conditioned of all men, regardless of whether they are athletes or not.

I I I I

“There are. of course, certain exceptions, but the usual ball- player remains in the big league because he had powerfully-built an- cestors and not because of any- thing he does to safeguard his health. Most of them survive in the major leagues only because they are avatars of abysmal glandular powers coming down through the ages from the days of the paleo- lithlc culture. If a man of ordinary strength lived the way the bail- players do he would be dead before World Series. time.

"Babe Ruth was the apotheosls of the breed. The famous blood- sweating behemoth would eat two Inch-thick steaks and two dozen hotdogs, with mustard. for a llzht lunch before and during a game and top it off with a quart of CIIOCUIIL: Ice cream. which he held In the palm of his hand as lt saved the use of a .apo.on..

"My present state of puzzlemcnt. however. 1| due to the lack of higher vlllon on the part of the master minds of baseball who should know as much about tnklnR care of human chattels as a horse owner known about looking after his horse.

And talking about speed the meet not only produced thrills at a dime a dozen but also fumlshed the fastest mile in the Maritimes so far this season when Veila Le Vella driven by that veteran. Wil- lard Kelly came through in the stretch 1n the No. 7 event to head the field in 2.10 4-5. a remarkable- perforniance for so early in the season 0nd one that stamps the Willard McDonaidowned more as a distinct threat all during the coming campaign.

But that wasn't the only high- light by any means. There were dozens of them during the three hours racing. That old veteran converted to the trot last season came on to win the No. 6 dash from a. field 0f four other trottnrs to provide the outstanding upset and pay over $44.00 for a two dol- lar ticket; and he did it in the last few strides after the field had pro- vided as prctty a racing picture as one would want to sac as they battled each other hammer and tongs all during the mile keeping so close together that they could be covered with a. blanket,

Then there was Teddy Weir piloting Eleanor G. in the No. 8 event and staying off continual challenges from the favored Billy Mcvey to capture the dash; Austin Tierney giving Lusticla a masterly drive to beat off a field of trotters in the No. 2 race, and Harold Stead driving Calumet On- ward to a win in the opening race on the card. 'l‘here were others too in the suspense filled, surprise- fliled program.
