- IV This time a year ago Dee Le- Furgey of the Curran and Briizz-3

Juniors felt he and his team-ninles owed an awful lot to their coach Johnny Carroll. "We let our coach down,” LeFurgey- told us almost immediately after the final game of the 1953 series which the Abbie: won four games to one. It took a year for Lei-lurgcy and his team- mates to repay their debts and they did so in a handsome fashion in the Island Junior series which ended yesterday afternoon . . .

A year ago I49F'lli'gP,V wasn't even a relief pitcher in the Provincial series. He played left field in sup- port. of Ed Buckley rind Jack Kearns. But this year he was thc whole show on the Summersiclc mound. He won three series games and saved the other and as he struck out. Kenny MacDonald to end yP.sterday'.s game and win the series the words he uttered to us about his coach the year before echoed in our cars.

0 - . It has been said a year ago that L9FurgEy was R good ball player but he lacked confidence. Some- where in the past. 12 months he must have picked up that needed confidence for he looked pretty confident. out on the hill during most. of the series. He also looked fairly confident at the plate as he lashed out a double in the sixth inning yesterday to start Summer-

side'.s winning rally.

. o .

The Abbies got good pitching all

through the series. Don MacLeod pitched spectacular ball during three games but lost on one oc-

casion when his team-mates failed to score even a run for him. Vern Handrahun won one game and was good in relief yesterday. Lorne MacDougal1 and Ronnie Stanley, pitched well but lost through lack of batting support. 0 O O The series was undoubtedly the highlight of the year's baseball act- ivit.ies. The boys drew large crowds out to watch the games and the fans nu every occasion were re- warded with an excellent brand of baseball. The players on both clubs were hustling every minute. They gave it everything they had and it was enough to give us as good a series as we have seen for quite some time. 0 O 0

Coaches Randy Edwards of Char- lottetown and Johnny Carroll of Summersldc are even-stcphen in their coaching duels with one an- other. They each have )1 winner .ii two years. But. what is just as im- portant is the fact. that both coaches have taught. ia. goodly num- ber of new players I. lot about baseball. This was very much in evidence throughout the series just

Ourranites Win Provincial Jr. Baseball championship

Johnny Carroll's C. and B. Juniors won the Prince Edward Is- land Junior Baseball championship, four games to two, by defeating the Abbie Juniors at Queen Eliza- beth Park yesterday afternoon by the score of 5-3.

Dec Lefurgey. the "work horse" of the C. and B. pitching staff, allowed only four hits, but his con- trol was spotty. two Charlotte- town runners crossing the platter on wild pitches by the sturdy right- hander

At one point in the sixth inning the tiring Lefurgey expressed a de- sire to be taken out but Carroll was determined to go along with his ace flinger and sent Dee back to the firing line. Carroll's judg- ment was vindicated as Lcfurgey recovered from his wildness and went on to pitch superbly, striking out the side in the top of tlic ninth to slam the door shut on the Abbies' last chance to pull the game out of the fire.

Abbie Juniors went out in front in the second isining. Rcady's fly to short blown off course by the wind. caromed off Coke Grady's glove to give Kip two bases. Grady made a nice catch off MacFad- Yen's tcxas leaguer immediately after, and Squarcbriggs grounded out to second, but MacDonald walked and Dunn's double to left scored Ready. C. and B. got the run back in the fifth. Coke Gracly's double scored Grant Grady who had got a life on a ficldcris choice and stolen second.

The fighting Abbies came right. back with two runs in the sixth 1.und and Purcell walked. Keniicdy forced Purcell at second. Lund tak- ing third. Lefurgey's wild heave scored Lund, and Ready sent Ken- nedy across with a single to lcft

The Curranites scwcd up the game in their half of the sixth Lt-furgcy doubled, and Gard Grady tripled in quick succession. A jug- gling act by the Abbie left fielder allowed Lefurgey to scorn, and Gui-d Grady's long blow to right centre drove Green across the platter. Grady scored the third run of the inning on Kennedy's

It. has re- sulted in the Dominion Govern- ment inaugurating a four-year plan to train young track and field men. The holding of the British Empire Games in Van- couver this year also should prove as an incentive for track and field men to develop their talents to it high degree. 0

For these among other reasons we would like to call attention to the Track and Field meet being staged at Memorial Field next Monday afternoon. Sports author- ities are looking for talented per- formers in this line of endeavour.

They want. to see the cream of

the Island's track and field ath-

themselves those who have the

potentialities of developing into top-notch performers. . o .

There will be evenLs for every

type of athlete. There will be the usual dashes, the runs and the jump: as well as the pole vault. hammer throw. shot putt, tossing the csbre. Javelin throw, etc. Also there will be It six-mile run and three bicycle races. All in all ll: shapes up as quite a meet.
