who visitors disappointed the pugs crowd of fans who set in on flgfgame as they played erratic baseball which enabled the All- Btars to score three unearned runs. The game was only s seren 153mg encounter as Umpire George Francis called the game in the last half of the seventh inn (n; with the locals at bat. The visitors used two pitchers in a.1 effort to stem the tide of has: hits the winners pounded out They started a. young hurler by the name of Lacey who with his slow ball didn't prove much of a puzzle to "Buck" Whltlock six-i company. In the sixth inning Jackson came into the ball game in s, relief roll end retired the locals without having any trouble. “Lefty" MacAleer twirled for the All-Stars and although being (ruched for seven hits he was no". in danger outside the seventh frame.

The home team scored two runs in the last. half of the first inn- ing on Charlie Ryan's single, "Buck" Whltlock's long triple to deep right field and Glen Math- “on: base hit. They added an- other tally in the next inning as they scored an unearned ruii when Joey LeClair singledwwent to second on e stolen base and scored on an error by the visiting second baseman.

The last half oi the fifth frame saw the liorne team score three runs that gave them their margin of victory. Three straight singles, e fielders‘ ehoic", a long fly to right fiei’. and two errors accounted for the damage that was done by the All- stars. In the top half of the Srlil enth inning the visiting colorel team loaded the bases on three singles, one of these runs scored on the next play as s runner was being thrown out at first. ‘flicy tallied their third and last run oi the game when a hard nit giounder was fumbled by the local shortstop. But that was all the damage that was going to be done to the home team as MacAieei struck out the next batter to enn the uprising.

Catching the eye of the local fans were the fielding displays of the Monarchs’ shortstop and iliiru

baseman who between them ao- ocuntcd for e total of thirteen chances. The shortstop FuLIcis

made two sensational pickups of ground balls that were hit in nis direction while the third base- man Morgan made a brilliant catch of a foul pop up in the llXlll inning.

Sport Echoes

From Prince Bounty

The lent pllfib Kinsmen Juniors sprang e surprise on the league- leeding Legionaires Monday night holding the 1047 miempions to a. n-eii drew. With Alan Stewart back from. summer school and fogging them in for the Fridgen Freshmen, the team looked pretty formidable again, as they had looked in the early days of the regular schedule. Stewart's mound penformence against the Vets was impressive, and but for a temp- orary lack or control on two oc- casions, he might have plastered a shut-out on the mighty Lyle- coached crew. As it was, only one of the trwo runs was earned.

O O O

Porky Lyle got the old razaberry from the tans in the bleachers when Maclvfurdo, dashing for the piste in the fourth inning. was trapped and tagged out. Lyle’s strategy was quite sound, how- ever, endmight easily have work- ed. With one out, Maclvlurdo rep- resenting the trying ‘run on third, and Joe Bernard, s: dependable e ball player as they come at bat, Ly1e's decision to try the squeeze play was smart baseball. Bernard failed to connect with the pitch and MacMui-do was caught far from a safe anchorage with hostile fielders on all sides. such is baseball. If your stret-

works. you're e hero; if it doesn't the fans have a name for that.

O O O In the first important game of the year with players bringing elimination closer with each mis- pley, it seemed rather odd that ft was the veteran ball players who

seemed a bit jittery on the de- -

fence while the kids, or most of "Wm. Plflyfld as if it were just another ball game. The Juniors had only one error during the game while the Legionalres, prec- tically all of whom are veteran performers, had five rniscues chalked against them.

Besides being a top-notch beck- stop and pretty good with the hickory too, charlie Deighen has the happy faculty of keeping his teammates in line when the gang get e bit sore at an umpires de- cision and start taking the steps that, if followed long enough, will get them thrown out of the game, You can hear Uhas telling them to ease up on the vocal barrage and start playing ball. and quite often they listen to their level- heeded catcher too.

O O O

Now that the chips are really down it will be more difficult than ever to keep the players from crsbbing at what they consider off-color decisions on the par-t nit umpires. The erblters will have to be stricter then ever. Umpire Phillips showed no disposition to take any pointed remarks from the players Monday nlgiht. He was ready to throw them out gt the drop of a hint that his eyesight was impaired, and that's the way it should be. No umipirs minds n player questioning one of his de- cisions in e quiet. good-natured way, but if the player starts to get tough about it, that is the Proper time fou- the umip to point to the gxlt end tell the protesting player to get on his bicycle.

O I O

Rae "Glblets" Arsenault has el. lowed only five hits in the 1m thirteen innings he has pitched. This is Pretty fair ninsine for a guy who was simposed to be all through pitching two years ago. Rae's performances this year must be pretty nearly ea good as m; mound work some years sgo when he was in his prime. We think tihat Arsensult is olng,to be a pretty handy felow to have around when the Charlottetown- Summerside intermediate series gets under way.

The 21-year-old Connecticut girl, with accurate drives and shanp putting. set up an early five-hole lead over Mrs. C. L. Urquhart of Riverside and was never threatened in winning 6 and B. Miss Lenczyk lost only one hole, winning seven and halving the remainder.

The tightest match of the day produced something of an upset when Mn. AL. Smith, a l5-hand- icap player from Oak Ridge, Ont., defeated Mrs. Bruce Campbell of Winnlpel’. Manitoba champion, on the 10th green. It was the only extra-hole match in today's pisy, Mrs. Campbell overcoming a one- hole deficit sfter hslf the journey only to lose out at the 19th.

Another surprise came with the elimination of Miss Marjorie Row. Windsor, Ont., scratch player, at the hsndscf Miss Isabelle Jervis of Victoria, a four-handicap golf- er. Miss now was three down after nine holes but came beck cour- ISQOIISI)’ and squared the match at the l'Ith. But Miss Jarvis out- drove her on the 18th and sank a short putt to win.

Mrs. N. J. Carlson. ‘Toronto Rosedale veteran who was medal- list in interprovinclal teem play, was eliminated by the steady play of youthful Anne Sharpe of Wel- land, Ont.. who increased her one- up margin after nine holes to win 3 and 2.

The gelding. owned by Mrs. B. F. Owen of Omaha, Nob. and driven by Canadian reiusman Nei.’ Hcuslett. ran third in the four- liorse field until the stretch where Iloiaslett went wide to the outside to come in front. The time on the last quarter of the one-mile dirt track was 20 4-5 seconds.

Amherst Red Wings, smart gliis

softball team from the Nova Scotia. centre and Cumberland and Colchester Counties champ- ions meet the Knights of Colum bus All Stars at the letters dia- mond here this afternoon in s game that is expected to draw a large crowd of fans. e- + -|- -i- _ The visitors will present a wei‘ balanced. smooth fielding cl ib that has been piling up an eti- visible number of victories on the mainland and their appearance here has created a big wave oi interest in softball circles with the main trend of thought being just how the locals will fare off against them. d- 1- ~0- I)

The All Stars shouldn't do ba.1- ly by any means. Continuous play- ing ever since the season got underway in the K. of C. league has seen the squad develop into a much more formidable outfit ther tney were last season and it seems to be the consensus of opinio among fans who have been fol- lowing their activities that they will give the Amherst squad quite s batge of it, all the way.

+ 1|- + d-

Although Philadelphia Mon- archs performance in their game against Freddie McCabes All Stars didn't live up to expects- tions yesterday evening neverthe- less by their victory the locals proved that they are one of the best intermediate baseball clubs ever to represent the Province.

vl- '0' '0' 4- '

It was the same All Stars that stole the show and the manner in which they backed up the smart hurling of "Lefty" McAleer shows conclusively that the locals are ready for their coming tests in the Island playdowns against Summerside All Stars and if the; can get by the formidable Slim- mereide team should be strong contenders for the Maritime title, a crown they last held in 1946.

4- + 1- i-

For the third time this sea- son come Sunday afternoon tne same All Stars will face the Tata- magouche intermediates. It will be the third meeting between the two clubs this year with each having won a victory on home grounds and the coming encount- er should be a natural.

4 III 4- 4'

Much rivalry has been creeping into the game between the two and both will field their strongest lineups in an endeavour to conic cut with a victory in the rubber match. The week-end contests against outside teams have been giving the fans some real ex- hibitions of baseball and are do- ing much to put the game on the firmest kind of footing.

Ruth Would

NIW YORK. Aug. M — (AP) Welter Johnson, Washington Senators’ immortal righthander, used to chuckle every time Bebe Ruth's slugging feats were re- called.

"Nobody can deny that the Babe was the greatest home-run hitter of them all," Sir Welter would soy. "But if the big guy hadn't pitched from the mound to out- field, he would have become the greatest lefthanded pitcher of them all."
