rvincial Rifle Association which

had its birth in 1861 and its car- ‘ecr interrupted by the Great War 1914-1918 and from 1940-1946 in the last war. will become a going concern again with its matches to be shot on Monday. July 28th and Tuesday, July 29th. at the new rifle range. foot. of Tea Hill.

In the long period of its ex- istence it has produced a re- markable number of great rifle shots considering the small pop- ulation‘ we have to draw from. 1n the Inter-Maritime competitions it has more than held its own. These were first instituted in 1886 with the ranges 200 - 500 - 600 yards and practically the same condi- tions have continued ever since. This year it will be remembered. the Islanders won from Nova Bcotia and New Brunswick by a comfortable margin. being the first rifle team to ever make a trip by plane for competition. The Inter-Maritime trophy is won annually by the team making the highest score. It is a magnifi- cent one. and cost £100 stirling. it will be on display shortly so that everyone can have a look at

it.

Island rs also have had a great record t Ottawa and practically every year one of them wins a place on the Bisley team. 1n 1933 it was Lieut. A. l". Cormiey and in 1939 he again became one of tne eighteen men to represent canada at Bisley. England. bu‘- the war intervened and no team was sent over. The greatest rifle shot this Island has ever produc- ed was Major J. M. Jones, who won a place on the Bisley team so frequently that he became known as "Bisiey" Jones. and but for a change of occupation to an indoor lob he would probably have been on that team many more times. There are other Bis- ley men whom the writer can re- call and give duo credit to who are active riflemen today. such u Capt, A. J. McCobe and Lieut. 0. G. MacLennan. and Lt. P. Hooper, to mention only three.

Spence came to bat in the seventh for Frank Shea. Yankee pitcher. with Doerr on third. two out and the score tied.

Said Dyer:

"I went out to the mound and told Sain to throw Spence curves- anything but a hlglh fast bail. which Spence usually hits. Salli threw two curve ball; for two strikes. and then he tried to waste one with a high. fast pitch. Spence hit it for a single.

"I pitched rigiht where Eddie told me not to pitch." Sain admitted to Dyer amd fellow players after the

time. g The National League losers filed into the dressing room quietly fli- ter the game. and were greeted by 5 "thank you. gang." from Dyer.

“it was a good ball some." Dyer declared.

Montreal Royals Not Eligible For Olympic Games

HAMILTON. Ont... July 7-(0?) -Mcnt.real Royals. Canadian sen- ror hockey champions in the i946- 47 season. will not be eligible to rellresent Canada in the 1948 Olympic Games. George Dudley of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association was informed today at a closed meeting with the Cana- dian Olympic committee.

Olympic committee president A. S. Dawes of Montreal and secre- tary Nelson Hart of London left Hamilton shortly after the meet- ing and were not available im- mediately for comment.

But meagre reports which were available later said that Mr. Dud- leyv will get in touch with Eur- opean hockey authorities and re- pcrt his findings to the C.A.H.A. ill August.

There have been reports for weeks that the Royals would not be eligible for the Olympics de- spite their Ailan Cup victory last spring. Officials openly stated that members of the team were paid for hockey services and it was understood here this is the basis of their being declared in- eligible.

Recently Mr. Dawes suggested that the University of Toronto team which won the senior in- terccilegiate championshzp would quali-iy for Olympic competition.

When plans are completed. 1n- dia will have 146 alrdromes in

All Star Notes

WRIGLEY FIELD. CHICAGO,

Jilly 3 — (AP) _ The all-star game. for three innings. looked like "the battle of the flying saucers." Ewell Blackwell of Cincinnati and l-lal Newhouser of Drtroit. the starting pitchers. seemed to be throwing those

mysterious objects that have been zooming across the sky. Each al. lowed only one hit. Blackwell fan- ned four and Newhouser two.

Bob Feller. the Cleveland pitch. 1X18 colossus. was sidelined by an oiling back but he gave his Am- erican League colleagues unstlnt. 9d moral support. "I'd like like :lell to be out there." he said. “I hate to miss occasions like this."

Baseball's brass hats were out 1n force. Every club in the ma]- crs was represented by a man. aircr or front office executive. A delegation from the Pacific coast. hopeful of presenting a spectacle cf this calibre one day in the far

west. looked on-perhaps a bit wstfully. Baseball Commissioner A, B.

Chandler threw out the first ball Ills delivery drew a chorus 0g boos from the fans.

The Nationals went. into a shift for Ted Williams. who habitually pulls the uall into right field. The centre and riizllt fielders and the second and first hasemen moved to their left when he came to the plate, Williams punctured this strategy his second time up by doubling along the first base line. On his next trip. he lined a hit to the right field.

The WCQUIB: was perfect clear and warm-but Joe Di Mag- gio found it a bit too breezy. Andy Pafko of the Chicago Cubs hit the hall to cenirelicld in the fifth inning. It apparently was slow- ezi by the bilsk north wind. The Yankee balllialvk hesitated and. instead of coming in to catch it 0X1 the fly. trapped it on the first bounce.

Hal Newhouser of Detroit Tig- ers was late in arriving in the American League dressing room. "We're expecting an addition." he explained. “I've been trying to reach Detroit to learn if the baby had arrived."

Today's victory gave Joe Cron- ln a record of two victories and one defeat as manager of the lAlnerican League team, Cronin jwas in charge of the junior cir- ‘cult nine which won 9-7 in i933. ‘in 1940. when Cronin subbed for Joe McCarthy. who was ill. the National League took a 4-0 de- cision. It was Eddie Dyer‘: first experience as an all-star man- liger.

WRIGLEY FIELD, Chicago, July 8—(AP)—‘—The 1947 all-star garnq "Iver will be retold m dorm‘ Ilsldchildrezr as the tlpgte in baseball thrills but it will be r9- membered as another chapter in the American Leagues victory saga over the National by a glim 2-1 mflrgln before 41.123 customers.

Bumping fmlr National throwers for atotal of eight hits, the Americans partly repaid manager Joe Cronin for his world series mis- fortunes by opening up a 10-4 edge in the series dating bee); to comis. key Park in 1933.

In comparison with last year's 12-0 rout in Boston the Naflgnal trained a moral victory by holding their rlvak i0 a one-run margin. Pflglneered by Washington's Stan SDence with a pinch hit single

scoring Boston's Bobby Doerr in the seventh inning.

Johnny Mime. the fence-busting New York Giants first baseman. had struck fear of the vaunted National League power into the

hearts of the Americans with a 380- foot blast into the right centre field bleachers in the fourth, n came off Frank Shea. the freshman sensation of Now York Yankees who turned out to be the eventual

winner.

Luke Appllngs pinch single opening the sixth. followed by Boston's Ted Williams‘ ripping

single to rightsef-up the tying run. Old Luke. the perennial Chicago favorite. want to third on Williams’ l blow and rornped home easily while New York's Joe DiMaggio was bouncing into a double play.

Game Winning Play

In the final analysis it was a peculiar play at second base in the lseyenth that made the victory lpossible. With one out. noel-r had flined a single to left. He stole sec- ‘Ofld 99-5111’. sliding under catcher ‘Bruce Edwards‘ throlw to Brooklyn lleammate Eddie Stanly.

On the next pitch. Johnny Sain of Boston. the third pitcher used by manager Eddie Dyer. spun all the way around in a sweeping mot- ion and tried to pick Doerr off second base. The ball hit Doerr and carol-lied off into short riglht centre. permitting the Red Sox second sacker to reach third. It was scored as an error foi- Sain. the eventual
