78th Annual Of P. E. I. Rifle Assln .

The lath annual meeting of the

P.E.l. Provincial Rifle Associa- lion was held in the "Queen Charlotte" last evening. There was a very large attendance of members. The President's re- port appears below.

The financial report ivhich

showed a good balance after all bills were paid was submitted uy the Secretary-Treasurer. Lt.-Col. W. J. MacDonald, ED., and un- animously passed. After these two matters were disposed of the meeting was thrown open to dis- cussion.

Lt.-Col. G. G. K. Peakc, D.S.O.. L'.D., informed the riflcmen that he would be pleased to supply a number of rifles for practice and g.vc other assistance. Major J. .A. MacDonald. Cardigan. vicc-pics- ident. suggested that the Associa- tion use its endeavours to have practice ranges built at Montague and Souris as there were quite a number of riflcmen in those dis- tricts that would be available if they had an opportunity to shoot.

Plan For Inter-Maritime Shoot

Discussion took place on the Inter-Maritime shoot which will be held this year at Debert, Nova Scotia. June l7ih. it was decided to have two trial shoots and from

these two shoots to pick the ill. highest scorers. These twclvci would then shoot. under the dircc-i fion of a coach. and the eight highest would constitute the Is- land team to compete in the Inter-, Maritime. it is likely that they will fly over, returning the same night.

A great deal of discussion took. place regarding the dates for thcl annual prize-meeting. and it was finally decided to hold the shout. July 31st. Aug. lst and 2nd. On the morning of Aug. 3rd the Unit- ed Service Officers Club Shoot will be held.

in the report submitted by Ma- jor MacDonald. Capt. of the Ot- tawa team. more detail was given than appears in the President's report. and the conclusion of the meeting was that our Otia-wa team' carried off more team honors than. any other team in the long his- tory of the REA. In one team match they had 39 other team com- -pctitora from the best rifle regi-. inen-ts in Canada. The win was by the narrow margin of one point.

A committee consisting of Capt. A. J. McCabe and Capt. E. Burke was appointed to look into the purchase of crests to make the provincial team more easily re- cognized at Ottawa and elsewhere and also to have crests as mem- inentoea for winners of inter- Ji-laxitime shoots.

Local sporting activity about a dead issue at the mom-

is just

ent. Basketball and hockey are over and everyone with an inter- est in athletics are laying the ground work for the various sum- mer sports that will be swinging into action during the next month or less for another full season of outdoor sporting endeavour. . . . ,

Now is the time that local fight promoters should be staging their shows for sport-hungry followers. when there are no other side- attractions to satisfy their appe- tites for action. A couple of weeks ago, we mentioned in this col- umn thal: the challenge match be.- twecn George "Big Boy" Peterson, Island heavy champ. and Pit Davis of Halifax, would be com- lng off on or about this tim--. That was the word from promot- ers then, but since that time we have heard nothing further. . . . -

Admittedly we haven't been talking to said promoters lateiv. and it may be that the scrap is still scheduled for the very neiir future, although we did try to contact. them inst night in find out the score. but weren't able to gtt anyone who was in the know. However. we will try again todiiy. O I O 0

We note that Georgetown has not missed the opportunity of staging some bouts during the slack period in the sporting pro- gram. They held a big eight- bout card there on Saturday night in the Town Hall under the spon- sorship of the Community Welfare League. They had plenty of act- ion and a packed house too. a-:- cording to reports from the East- ern centre. They are also plan- ning more for the near future. 0 O O C

In fact. during the past few months, the boxing game has shown signs of revival in a num- her of communities throughout the Province. Promoters Poulton and Lund had quite H spree for a while hero in the City and staged some good bouts, while at Stim- mcrsirle rind Alberton. other cards were staged with success by vili- ferenl promoters. But just ivhen the time is ripe. they all seem to have fallen off in their promotion work.

0 O I

Judging from these activities. it is quite apparent that there is plenty of interest in the game and there must. be quite a few young- sters who would like to get. 3 little more of it. Promoters in the var- ious areas should get together. This would be a good time to hold some inter-City or inter-commuxb lty contests, and would create 3. lot of interest that would draw the fans too.

I C Q

Maybe we shouldn't have said that they have all stopped their prcmotion work. it isnt. quite true in all cases, but on the whole is a sharp decline to v-"hat it was a. few months ago. As we mentioned be- fore, Gcorgetown had in. card Sat- urday night, and the Forum man- agement are planning to have Roger Wliynolt. well-known Marl- time scrappcr. meet with Arnold Floager of Montreal here on May ism. we don't know very much about it at the moment. but therei will no doubt be a number of sup- portlng bouts with it. Probably made up from local talent, but we are not sure of that just. yet.

I V C

There is one sport, however, that although an individual one and not the kind that draws B. crowd to watch it. is very uppermost in popularity at the moment. The sport. of angling for those finned denizens of stream. pond and riv- cr, known as trout. Every where you so where there is I. likely looking mill pond or stream. young, old. male and female. M8 gathered to pit their skill against ch. ml, beauties.

There in quite I variation of Ohe art too. some can be I890 languldly taking it easy on a bridge or above the roaring waters of a dam, while atllrothei-a are woder-deep in fast moving streams or anchored off some deep hole in pond or river in a. rubber dlricy or iowboat. They have one thing in common. however, they either set them or they don't. and the big- gest ones always get nwuy.

Inger Pitching Ace Art

Houtteman Shows Class In 7 -1iWin Over Yankees

(By The Canadian Press)

Art Houtteman, Z2 - year - old Tiler pitching ace. Monday wea- thered a ninth-inning uprising to enable Detroit to defeat New York Yankees 1-l and stay on top in the American League.

Cleveland and Washington were slated to play 3 night game in the only other tilt scheduled.

The victory was I-Ioutteman's fourth of the season against a sin- gle loss. Hoot Evers led the attack on loser Vic Raschl with a two- ruii homer in the ninth and '3 single in the fourth that scored George Kell.

With one out in the ninth. Gene Woodltng singled. and then two Yankee pinch-hitters came through with base hits - Johnny Mize and Jimmy Delsing, But Evers then made a diving catch of Phil Riz- ziito's liner to left, and Cliff Manes tapped weakly to Houtteman.

Raschl went: all the way for Yankees and still had trouble with the new balk regulation. Last time he pitched four were called on him. This time he was penalized ONCE,

Kell and Vic Wertz also did heavy hitting for the Tigers. Kell. last year's American League bar- tlng champion. had a. triple. doub- le and single in five times up, scoring three times, and Wang made a double and triple.

Sid Hudson survived Cleveland's t7.vo-run ninth-inning rally as Washington made the most of its- eishc hits off Bob Feller and oeue' Bearden to beat the Indians 4-! and sweep a two-game series.

Ball Player Has Bun Of Bad Luck

TORONTO. May 8 - (GP) -11!- fielder Ralph Lepolnta of Toronto Maple Leafs thought he had all the bad luck coming to him for the 3931- .

He lost his wallet, personal pa- pers and 040 caali It a thutre in Springfield, Mun... two weeks ago. Then Sunday morning no found someone had broken into his car on a parking lot here and stolen 8500 to 8000 worth of clothing and jewelry. Sunday I"-CITIOOII he was ordered from the ball park for an- tllngawlth an umpire.

That was just about enough. he said today.

But fate still had another brick up its sleeve for Ralph.

Dodgers Survive Rally To Defeat Pillsburgli 1-5

By he Canadian Press

3F00k1lm barely survived an- other ninth-inning rally Monday, Itaving off Pittsburgh 7-5 on Jim Russell's two-run homer in a National League game.

Philadelphia and Cincinnati and Boston and St. Louis played night

games. New York Giants and Chicago Cubs were idle. Clarence Podblelan. rookie

righthander who got credit for the Dodger victory, held a 7-3 lead going into the ninth but fal- tered after Ralph Kiner blasted his fifth homer of the year. The Brooks finally had to call in Jack Banta to get -the side out. It was Kiner's first hit off Dodger pitch- ing in 35 times at bat. dating back to last season.

When Nanny Fernandez followed Kiner's homer with a single, Pod- bielan was on the ropes. The Pee wee Reese - Jackie Robinson double-play combination saved him temporarily.

Brooklyn had built up a 5-0 lead against loser Cliff Chambers by the time he retired for a pinch- hitter. The Dodgers bunched three hits for single runs in the third and fourth. added two more in the fifth on a walk, two singles and Chambers' wild throw. Bruce Edwards' first homer of the year followed in the sixth.

At St. Louis, little Tommy Gla- viano was the big man of the diamond as St. Louis Cardinals again drubbed Boston Braves 10-3 in a wild Red Bird hitting spree.

At Cincinnati. 9. wild throw by l-Ierm vilehmele in an attempted seventh-lnnirtg pickoff play brought in the tie breaking run for Philad- elphia, giving them a 0-5 victory over the Reds and a c'ean sweep of the three-game series.

Ted Kluszewskils three-run-hom- er in the sixth put Cincinnati ahead 5-4.

would take advantage of visitors whenever possible. He declared that this type of business man hurt not only himself but every- one else in the same type of busi- ness. Although satisfied visitors will spread the news of their pleasant vacation after they have returned home, a dissatisfied tour- ist will spread his news much faster and wider. Tourist organ- izations are a sure means of pre- venting this from happening.
