Upsets still continua to play he leading role in Island harness racing circles and yesterday after- noon as the Goodwill meeting opened no less than four out of five favorites went down to defeat in what was considered one of the finest day's racing this event has produced in its years of existence.

t 0 o

Close driving finishes with bat- tles taking place over every part of the track were part and parcel of the program and today with a five-class card scheduled for the afternoon Ind a three-class card for the night racing program. fans should Just about have their fill of harness racing for this week.

O O O

This afternoon's card will be highllghtedby the looked-forward- to free for all and some thrilling duels of speed should be witnessed before the winner is decicied/ In the minds of the railblrds the track record will be ln very little danger but. nevertheless the horses that will take the word appear to be very evenly matched in speed and staying power and all heats should be fought out right to the wire.

O O O

But. while the free for all will be holding the spotlight more or less, the other classes on the card will produce equally as keen rac- ing. Last night among the bet- tors opinion was pretty well div- ided as to the winners and it will not be a bit surprising if the pro- gram is once Main dotted with upsets.

O I O

The night program looks to be about the best. the management have lined up since they started staging these events. Cream of Maritime racing flesh in their respective divisions will be partic- ipating and it will be a real treat watching them perform under the lights. Night. racing has caught on here in a big Way and a record crowd is expected to fill the stands before the first field of horses are led up the stretch by Marshall Miss Vimy Jones.

O O O

Abegwelts proved their worth yesterday when they knotted the intermediate Island playoff series with Summerside at a game a- piece ancl as a result are now in. stalled slight favorites to retain their Island title. . o a a

But despite the swing of the fans to their side, the locals have n. mighty stiff task still before them. It evidently was a nip and tuck battle all the way yesterday with the locals riding to victory on the power contained in the big bats of Buck Whitlock and Baldy Williams in the ninth in- ning but there is still plenty of sting left in Summerside and they will bee; plenty 0f watching in the games coming up.

i I O

Any doubt that fans held of re- percussions occurring after last Sunday's mlxup here were laid at rest yesterday afternoon when the two squads, like the inherent sportsmen they are stuck strictly to baseball all the way; forgotten were all the grievances that crop- ped up in the opener and as a re- sult Summerside fans saw one of the beat played. hardest fought games of the season.

O I I

Which is as it should be, Base- ball has had a long tough climb back from near oblivion to the undoubted popularity it now en- joys and it would have been a calamity had any disturbance blocked further progress. Now with things satisfactorily settled and with the but. of feeling evi- dent between club officials and players alike, the remainder of the series should provide the fans with some of the hardest fought contests in the history of baseball battles between‘ Summeraide and Charlottetown teams.

The fourth contest of the best-ln-five battle is scheduled for Marysville Saturday.

The Saints were rallied by the lashing tongue- ot manager Clem O'Connor, sensational play of 2g- ing Bus-h Nickersnn and agile Ralph MaCManaman. and a four-hit hurl- ing Job by lorg John Harvcy-

The York County team played the rf-iemps on even terms until the sixth inning. largely because of a heroic mound performance by their ace hurler, young Dick Can- nvan, an import from Maine. Tlien the winners gained a 4-1 lead and the game was won.

Canavan was spiked in the third inning in a race to first base with MaoManaman but after having the badly injured foot bandaged he continued until the sixth, when veteran Jake cain relieved him with two out and three runs over the plate. canavans foot was bleeding badly when he left the game. and he was taken to hos- pital for further treatment.

St. Peter's gained four more runs qft‘ Cain. Marysviile‘; lone tally came in the sixth.

Bill Allen laying down a pretty bunt as Grady speeded for the plate. In the first. of the ninth, with the visitors one run down to Don Stew-arts aggregation. Ward, bat- ting for McKinnon, drew a walk on four straight balls, and ad- vanced to second on Ryan's in- field out.

CINCINNATI. Sept. l0 —(AP)— Larryi MacPIliaiYs standing in baseball became a matter of some question today after Commissioner A.l3, Chandler began an investigat- ion into an interview attributed to the New York Yankees head in vio- lation of an order not to discuss the suspension of Leo Durocher.

Chandler risked Al Buck, baseball writer for the New York Post, to fly in Cincinnati for questioning in the matter Buck advised the ccnzi-nissioner he could not. make sucli an appointment because of his work.

Bnscbflli wiriters on other New York evenfhg newspapers who also quoted MacPhail said Chandler asked them to send him copies of thcir stories.

The ivritv-rs quoted MncPhail as saying in Washington last Thurs- day that it. was e. IOO-to-l slim that Durocher would not he bark as manager at Brook- lyn next yioat‘.
