ankees, who when the night found themselves 12 big games behind. Even the Yankees’ so called “farm team” Kansas City Athletics were ahead of them, which is sure evidence that the once mighty Bombers have indeed fallen on evil days. s

and 10 in the past 12 years,

pitching staff to live up to anything ’ it - but these hardly account for the complete disaster that has befallen the Yanks. It is likely that no one knows whiy these things happen. They just do thereby adding a little spice to the world of sports. Although undoubtedly welcomed by’ many fans, it will be a strange thing to see a World Series without the Yankpes in It.

ABOUT-THE ONLY thing the Bombers have to cheer about this year is the performance of reliefer Ryne Duren. The fastest pitcher in either jeague, Duren Sunday fanned seven batters in 3 2-3 innings of shuteut pitching as the Yanks beat Kansas City. It was typical of his performances during the past few months.

THE KINGS COUNTY baseball League, we understand, wif! be finishing up its regular schedule of games this Sunday and the all important playoffs will. be following hard on the heels of the final game.

Only one game was played Sunday in the loop and it brought

news for Mount Stewart fans. The Mount boys levelled Souris 14-0, but it wasn’t the size of the victory that brought joy to the hearts of fandom in that area as much as the perform-

a — of pitcher Art Coffin. Art hurt his elbow some ‘weeks ago

‘and since that time he hadn’t been seeing very much action, He

was taking the mound for only three and four innings at a tch, but Sunday's full distance two-hit shutout over Souris proved beyond a doubt that he was back in top shape again and just in time to lead his teammates into the playoffs. Coffin struck out 13 along the way in hurling the youthful Mount Stewart crew to their eighth league victory in nine starts.

LARY MaecPHAIL, a former baseball owner who once ad- vocated no less than four major baseball Leagues, believes the recently formed third major league will flop with a bang. Mac- Phail doubts that a completely imdependently born league could survive. “There are still eight or 10 cities which deserve - and could support major baseball and it seems to me the best way to give it to them would be by expanding the two existing lea- gues.”’ says he.

MacPhail brings up.the often asked and not yet answered question:” Whefe are they going to get the ballplayers?” and adds another one “and where are they going to get the ball-

rks.” ° Meanwhile International League President Frank Shaughnessy observes “theyll be calling themselves a major league and we'll actually have better talent than they will.” ,

THESE EXPANSION ideas apparently set football men to

thinking also. Last week National Football League Commissioner |

Bert Bell told a Senate antimonopoly committee that a new major football league was in the making. He said the league would start operating next year. The league plans to field teams in ver, Minneapolis, Dallas and Los Angeles.

SPORT ECHOES

MACDONALD

Garth Harrie gave a fine pit-

ching performance Saturday against Oharlottetown Junior Abbies. Garth, collecting 17

strikeouts, sent every Abbie play- er except Vince Mulligan back to the dugout at least once. Mul- ligan had no official time at bat getting three walks. Strangely enough, eight of the first. nine strikeout victims watched, ‘the third strike go by. Catcher -Smith was the exception. He swung at 2 wild heave and reached first on the pitcher's error.

Eddie Boates’ double sent two Pontiacs across the plate, and Greg Deighan’s triple accounted for three more. Boates also. made a nice glove-hand stab of a half fly-half line drive in the seventh. First and second base were oc- cupied with none out at the time, go as the ball’s flight had a modest are it might have qualifi- ed as an “infield fly’. It was difficult for an umpire to call, however.

Johnny \ Carroll sent four of his Babe Ruth boys into the game when it became apparent that the opposition was not as tough as had been anticipated. Dennis Arsenault, Lioyd “Toy” Gallant, John Poirier and Don- nie Melnnis all saw action.

The Prince County Ladies Soft- ball League begins its play-offs tenight at Summerside and Be-

deque. Grand River gals play

series, and the K. of C. Chub of Summerside travela te Bedeque. The way these series have

be a lot tloser and exciting the finals. One of

er clubs is bound te be eliminated in the first round. That was the way the ball bounced, however, and who knows, either Bedeque or K of C may give the other

to know that their favorite in- door sport will be back at Civic Stadium, Summerside, Wednes- day evening. Dr. Timothy Geo hagen is the chief attraction, and this popular wrestler who is a Ph. D., will give a demonstrat- ion of hypnotism as an added attraction. This card will present for the first time to Prince Coiinty fans the behemoth that walks like a man, Mighty Jumbo. Weighing over a quarter of a ton, this ‘stripling will take on two opponents each well over 200 pounds, Landing underneath this big fellow would probably give the victim some of the character- istics of a book mark.
