As 1036 sioivly fades out of existence once again we glance briefly over doings in island sport circles for the year. While no noteworth_v' events have occurred neverthe- less sport has enjoyed a fairly good year, that is as far as competition has been concerned. Attendances are slowly,‘ but surely failing off but still the participants in the various, branch " keep the old games going in the hopes that bet-f ter d: _ . are zihead. l-‘oi- this they are to he commended and who knows bill that in the near future their efforts will he i rewarded by having island athletics reach the high peaki of not so many years ago.

BOXING " n

a lxonooutuvuudtlttuoolt

i Alter b91112 ‘m the doldrums for ia gieat many years, despite efforts 10f various promoters to bring back :nierest' boxing made a great coinc- ‘ :.t. summer and fall that saw large crowds attending the match- es. The man behind the was Joey McDonald. well-lrrnvn and likable sport follower. After staging several bouts in theL. P. U. ‘Hall, Joey decided that a, heavy- ‘Wtjlflllf, iighi. something entirely ‘new as far as Island bouts were concerned. was the thing to put on. His foresight proved the spark that was to ieniie boxing interest to new and 11141121" levels. Benny Binns and George Leslie met for the Island lteavv trtli- Wlill Leslie fainting his ‘, much lighter opponent 1n six thrill- paclzed rounds. But this was only the start. I-Kffille, an entrant in Jack Demp- sey‘; White Hope toumament, pla- iced hintself under the guidance of “Big Jim“ Ponder-grist of Kcnslng- ton and was literally besieged with offers. Stan Biggat“ Charlotte- town boy was the first to get; a shot at the iltle but he wnsirtg good enough nncl the champion scored a three-round knockout. to retain his crown. But still there was many who doubted Imslicls ability. Les- lie couldn't accommodate all the challenges that. were belnfi hllfltid at him from all sides so promoter McDonald hit upon the idea of an Island heavywdlght elimination tournament b0 decide a chaiienvcr for the title. From the very first the idea went over with a bang; over two dozen fighters, represent- ing- every section of the Province sent 1n entries and the result of it was that a packed Forum was on hand on the night of the fights. Jim Evans of Kensmgton, a form- er sparring partner of Leslie's was the winner after taking part in 3

when Evans stepped into the ring he had over 2500 fans solidly behind hliii and Leslie's ‘former sparring more sent. the crowd mad with en- thusiasm when he captured the crown by knocking out Ieslte in two rounds.

But like Leslie had been. Evans was also besieged with chailenkc-fl

GOLF

a

Charlottetown and Summerside divided golfing honors Ln i1 season which for interest, enthusiasm and competition has never been equal- led. Old 1036 will g0 dovm in the annals of golfdom, not so much for what has been accoinpliihcd by in- dividual exponents of the game, but rather for club accomplishments boasting two o_f_ the finest links ln the Maritinies. The long list of matches of the Bclvedere Club, both the ladies‘ and men's branches were keenly contested and enjoyed rec- ord number of en-‘ries. Jock Ander- son new club pro, hailing from Scotland. and Jumny Walker assist- ant; pro did mncfi 6o contribute to the success of the season.

Red thatched Pete Keily of the Detroit Red Wings, National Hoc- key League Champions, dominated the men's division of the game by winning both the provincial title and the Belvedere club champion- shipr. The Suinmcrslde club title was again won by Mr. Harold

audet.

In the ladies’ division Mrs. Alex Home of Siimiuerslde won provin- cial l1onors_ wnilc club champion- ships were captured by Mrs. E. W. IVIacKiiinQn and Mrs. Wlllam Smallman of the Bglvedere and Summerside clubs respectively.

o TENXIS ' o a etotlnotonnscattlot:

Tennis, a. univei 2'1; popular pastime, enjoyed a Lerner season localy with keen play featuring the many inter-club competitions, The quality‘ o1 the game, generally. ap- peared improved and although a tiile failed to conic i0 the Island in the Open tournament champion- ships, held about the middle of Aug- ust, local players gave a. good ac- count of themselves before going down before the sparkling play of their more experienced opponents. The calibre of tennis tn the closed tournament was of a high stand- ard wlth the veteran player Stuart Dickson retaining his singles crown and teaming up with Maltland Owen to win the doubles title. Miss Marlon Morris scored an upset when she won the ladies‘ title de- feating the defending champion and favorite Miss Eeanor Bourke.

An innovation thLs year was “night" tennis provided by the Holy Redeemer club. This new departure 1n the game proved popular and promises to be well piitroniied 1n the future. A night tournament held the latter part. of the season drew a large number of entrels and was productive of excdilegt competition.

A highlight- of the season was the_ visit of Marcel Rninvllfe in Sep- tember who played a series of exhi- bltlon matches with local racquet- wlelders at the Charlottetown courts to the delight of a large gal-

best man in that ilivision. Alilioitgh '

SOFTBALL

Easily the best season since the local inauguration of the game softball had a. great. season last year with the game spreading all over the province. Manythrilling games took place and the cham- pions of the respective leagues had to battle right to the finish before capturing their titles. .

The year saw new City League champions crowned when the 8th Battery team, after just barely squeezing into-the playoffs provid- ed e. big upset by trouncing the de- fending champions, SteWaItKsBak- fir)’. in three straight games in the finals.

Georgetown, Borden and Bede- que all entered teams in the Island playoffs. Borden defeated Bedeque while the Battery team were elim- inating Georgetown, but the Bor- den beam were unable to make ar- rangements for the finals and Bat- tery were declared Island cham- pions for the second time in three ygaqrs, they having held the title in

Gridiron contests proved stirring struggles last season with all teams very evenly matched. Although there was only one_ series finished the defending champions kept their laurels 1n the three classes played.

Senior Saints after losing their first two games of the Nomads in the best out of five series for the Island crown came back strongly to even the series at; two games each; but then the weatherman stepped in to halt proceedings for the season.

The four games were hard-played struggles with honors iii even. No- mads ivere a serious threat at aft times fielding a well-balanced cour- ageous team while the Saints had their usual fine squad in action.

In the Interscholastic series. probably the series generating the most interest. Queen Square re- tained their title when the best out of three series failed to finish. The defending champions had captured the first game but then again old man weather stepped hi and this combined with exams put a halt, to proceedings.

The Intercollegiate series went to three games with P. W. C. retaining their tltle. They won the first game but were defeated 1n the second. In the deciding game they again held the Saints to a drew to keep their

Records iFell Before Flashing Hoofs On Island Racing Circuits

The march of time has brought us to the end of an-

other year and gives us an opportunity to look back in re-

trospect over the doings in harness horse sport» so popular

in our dear little province.

It was certainly a very active year, with perhaps the

most sensational racing that we have record of. Several, Maritime records were broken and 2.10 miles were very

common, both on the trot, and on the pace. Track trotting

and pacing records were broken at Summerside, the track

pacing record at Alberton was reduced, the track trotting

record was lowered three times in one afternoon at Mon-

tague and again reduced by two seconds at a later meet-

ing. placing it where it. now stands-2.08 1-4, which is also

the provincial trotting record. Track trotting and pacing. records were both lowered at Charlottetown at its big ex-

hibition meet, ‘and the trotting record again lowered at the

Labor Day meet, and 0n this occasion new twro-year-oid

and three-year-old pacink records for Maritime breds were set up. At a breeders’ meeting held subsequently new trotting records for two-yeainoids and three-year-oids, Maritime bred, resulted.
