President's Report

Gen-:lcmen:-

It gives me great pleasure to meet you at this. the beginning of the season and to report on our activities during the past year and to consider measures we can ad- opt. to keep our racing up to the standards of the past.

On our Island Circuit last seas- on racing started at Charlotte- town the night of June 17th and was concluded at Riverside Thanksgiving afternoon. October 3th. Two new tracks opened and each held one racing meet, Kin- kora and Spring-.'ield.

Leaving out Charlottetown and mentioning only the out of town tracks we find that Montague held their first meet. on July 5th. Only one heat in each class was raced when rain put a stop to the after- noon's sport. The next meet was at Rustico, July 12th, with four ciasses of very good fields and good racing. The first meet at Cove-head was held on July 19th with four classes. The fastest heat of the afternoon was paced byl Tiny Budlong. owned by Linus Mulligan of Kinvkora and driven by Teddy Weir-2.10 2X5, which was A new record for her.

Two meals were held on July 26th. one at St. Peters Raceway which had a. very large attend- ance, and a new track record pac- ing of 2.12 M5 was set up by Fil- bctrt 2.C9, owned by Walter Hen- ncssey and driven by Joe Hen- ncsscy. At E-pringiield three class- es were raced with Prodigal Vic, mvn-ed by Joe Mcitae, Park Cor- ner. pacing the fastest heat-2.10. which is the track pacing record. and High Tide, owned and driven by Marne Kennedy of O'Leary, trotting the fastest heat-22-1-for the track trotting record.

Another meet was held at Cove- hrad on August 2nd, the fastest miles being those of Jennie Kal- muck trotting and Prince Budlong pacing-2.11 3K5. Jennie was own- cd by Lorne Lczcher of S-pringhill, N S, and driven by L. O'Donnell. P. .:e Budlong is owned and was driven by Harold Cudmore,Brack- ley. Covshead meeting was fol- lowed by cne at Kinkora August 9th. where the rebuilt track at- tracted a large nzinrber of people. Track records were set by Tiny Budlong. driven by E. Bryenton. of 2.15 (V5 pacing. and trailing by H.'g-11 Tide. driven by Marne Ken- nedy, of 2.17. On the same after- noon four CiZlC:.CS were rac-sci at 1VlDl'l”.2gll9 and the most outstand- ing performance was that of the trotter Feather Duster. t-hat.won the No. 3 Classified with the third hczit in 2.12 di5-a ncw ricord for her. She is owned by Lester John- s.cn of Fortune. and was driven by Willard Kelly.

The ncxt meal was at Parkview, August. 23rd, with four well filled cl " s. The fastest mile of the afternoon was paced by All Am- (rican. owned by Cecil Alexander. Saint JCl'”'l, N.I3.. and driven by Bil'v 131:? -2.11 2.5. Covehead had . third meet of the weclnesday afternoon, Scptember ll-ih. The racing was particularly .':':od with the fourth race going to

Clipper winning the first l-rzat in '.!.i14x5 and Johnny Kalmuek win- : hr. the next two. the second in 2.11-a n-w record for Johnny. The final meet of the season was at Riverside, CCiCvi)3l' 9th. with four classes raccd. it was I nice

'afternoon and there was a good

turnout of spectators. Race meals were advertised for Riverside and Snmmersidc on July 1st; one heat. in each class was raced at River- ude and then the meeting had to he called off on account of very heavy rain. At Summersidc it rained so heavily between one and I..vo o'clock that it was impossible to carry on and the meeting was called mil.

in addition to the above there were three matinee benefit races, two of them for Clarence Schu- man. one at Covehead Raceway. Scpterrlizcr 20th and one at. Sum- merside September 27th. There was also a matinee race meet in aid of King's County Memorial Hospital held at Montague, Octob- er 4th.

it will be noticed from the above that there were fewer meet- ings held at the out of town tracks the past season. Early this Spring some track members re- ceived letters from the Charlotte- town Driving Park and Provincial Exhibition Association stating that they would be allotted one Wed- ncsday afternoon each during the lesson for racing and that the above Association intended put- ting on racing on Wednesday and Saturday nights: also in the weeks that the Wednesday afternoon: were allotted the country tucks. races would be hcid.ln Charlotte- town on Friday nights as weu as Saturday nights.

The matter was discussed with the officials of the Association It I meeting in March and it was pointed out to them that this would hove a curious and probably a fatal effect on the country tracks. No conceulone could be secured from them and u will be noticed in the press there are very few opportunities 1 for racing Wedneeday during summer or

The newly-formed City Base- ball League will get rolling here this Sunday for the season it was

indicated here yesterday when the first section of the playing schedule for the four-team loop was released by League officials. The schedule was drawn up yes- terday as Lhe result of an ex- ecutive meeting held Wednesday evening. 0 D 0

When the league was here a few weeks ago, the City was divided up into four areas which would be represented by a team from each area made u-p of both junior and intermediate players. At that time each team was just classified according to its location in the City, but pro- per tepm names for each club have been taken on since then and were released at the Wednesday

formed

meeting. They will be known from now on as the West End Anchors. East End S-tars, North-

east Rovers and Northwest Fal- cons.

0 .0 C The boys are being given a good start for the season in the way of uniform equipment, one official stated yesterday. Local business firms have already of- fered to fit. three of the teams with caps and socks while an- other made a cash donation for the same purpose. Henderson & Cudmore, Moore & MacLeod, Ment Whitlock and Concionls Woollen Mills were the charitable firms. The two teams who will clash in the league opener on Sunday afternoon will be the Anchors and Falcons. 0 O O

THE GUARDIAN, CHARLOTTETOWN

It looks as if the time had come to stop calling'Booklyn Dodgers ”Dem Bums."

The Dodgers Thursday rang up their sixth National league vic- tory iin a. row. again humbling St. Louis Cards 2 - 1 to open up a sli- game lead in the league.

That six-in-a-row feat was mat- ched by the amazing Chicago White sox who blanked Washing- ton Senators 5 - 0 to widen their American League first-place mar- gin over New York Yankees to five games.

Cincinnati's surging Reds mov- od into a second place tie with the Redbirds, edging New York 01- ants 5 - 4. Phila.delphle's Phlllies Lrouncecl Chicago to sink the Cubs into sixth place '1 B 1. Boston Bra- ves moved into a fourth place tie with the Giants with 9. 6 - 0 Vic- tory over Pittsburgh.

Harry Dorish, making his first start for the white Sox, turned in a five-hit shutout over the senat- ors, as the Sox won their 20th game in their last 22 starts.

The Sox got nine hits off loser Julio Moreno and his successors, and showed amazing speed on the bases, stealing three sacks. The only run the W-hite Sox needed came in the first when Bob Dill- inger walked, stole second and romped home on Mlnney Minoso's single. Minoso walked twice, beat out a bunt and stole a base. Jim Busby pilfered his 12th base of the season. Eddie Robinson batted in a run to tie Ted Williams for the League lead at 46.

Carl Purlllo's single with the bases loaded and none out in the ninth scored Duke Snider with the run that won for Brooklyn. Prea- cher Roe scattered nine hits for his eighth triumph without a log. Tom Poholsky had a three-hitter until the ninth when he walked Snider and Hodges and gave up a single to Jackie Robinson. Ted Wllks came in and gave up the game-winning hit to Furillo.

Virgil Stallcup slammed a. homer with two on in the fifth to give the Reds their win over the Giants. Ken Raffensberger threw home run aballs to Wes Westrum. Monte Irvin and pinch hitter Ray Noble but received credit for his fifth victory. Dave Koslo was the loser.

Grand Falls. Montana. and Guy La-Rosa. of Montreal. while two popular, or un-popular. as the case may be, will be Rasputin ”The Russian Bear" and Len "Cowboy" Hughes. . . .

The many friends of Mr. James Pendergast of Kensington. one of the Provinces most ardent sport followers and former prominent boxer and athlete. will be pleased to learn that he has returned re- cenily to his home after under- going an operation at Moncton Hospital. Many who have never met Mr. Pendergast will be fam- iliar with him through his current contributions to the sport columns

of this paper known as "Ring Reminiscences" as well as many other sporting articles he has

written from time to time. . - .

In a letter from Mr. Pendergast since his return home from hos- pital, he states "I am getting on o 1:. after another operation." a fact which this column takes much pleasure in reporting. Even while in hospital he continued his writings of ring personalities and happenings. a knowledge gathered through his own experiences and extensive travel during his youth. Since Mr. Pendergast's "Ring Reminiscences" started appearing in this paper some weeks ago, he has been the receiver of many complimentary remarks and let- ters for his fine articles. The fol- lowing are some excerpts from a letter by one .Su.mn.ierslde reader:

"I would like to take this op- portunity to congratulate you on your very interesting article Ring Reminiscence: which appeared in today's Guardian. As much as pos- sible I attempt to keep abreast on news connected with the fight game. but I find. and no doubt you hold the same view, that to- day's ring greats lack the lustre and showmanship which were a trade mark- of such men as. Dempgey and those who appeared before him. such phrases as the ireal MoC0y' and ''I'm from Mis- sourl' were two commonplace fig- ure: of speech that I always in- tended to trace concerning their derivation. and thanks to your article I now can rest easy when I hear them spoken. I had no idea they were associated with the ring. I also was very pleased to see that you made reference to several P. E. I. fighters who years ago were very well known in Canada and the U. 8.

Commons Wins Softball Game

OTTAWA. June 7-(CP)-Leg- islutive muscle men collided with literary intellect on the front lawn of the Parliament Buildings tonight. The upshot was an 18-1 landslide for the House of Com- mons in its annual softball game with the Parliamentary Press Gallery.

The writers rung in three mem- bers of Ottawa's International League Giants and, through a loophole in the rules, were allow- ed the use of a bucket in the outfield. But that didn't help much against the legislative lar- rupers. .

Headed by home-run-hitting Lionel (Big Train) Conacher (L- Toronto Greenwood) and George l-lees (PC-Toronto Broudvlew). they teed off on the Gallery play- ers for 21 hits. Unlimited errors help them around the sacks.

The most. unusual catch was made by Douglas (Canadian Press) How of the Press Gal-

lery. He took a bucket to left field and on a long fly ran with the bucket outstretched. The ball dropped in.

Rev. Dan Mclvor (I.-Fort Wil- liam). the 78-year-old manager of the Commoners. helped the cause with e snappy--by Gallery standards--job at third base.

The game raised S118 for a fund for the Commons page boys sponsored by Mr. Mclvor.

L. B. (Mike) Pearson, External Affairs Minister. was tossed out of the game in the fifth inning for using undlplomatlc language. George Crulckshnnk (L-Fraser). base umpire. thumbed him off the field. Mr. Pearson said later that it was the first time this h'AI happened to him. -
