The Goodwill concludes this afternoon with five

racing program

classes scheduled to go and fans should witness the same high class racing that was the order at both afternoon and night meetings yes- terday. + It 4- O

Featured today will be the jun- ior free-for-all with five high-class pacers taking the word and al- though Gay Law will likely start as favorite the other four horses will bear plenty watching.

i w» 4- <2-

Yesterday‘: two meetings had many highlights but the outstand- ing one was the mile in 2.09 3-5 paced by Billy McVeigh. The Hoop- er-owned horse who has been per- forming consistently all season long struck his real form yester- day and from now on should de- velop into a top-liner.

4- '4- 1- O

And looking over yesterday's cards one thing was noticeable and that was the popularity of the night racing game. Unofficially it appeared as if the night program had outdrawn the afternoon and now it can definitely be assumed

that this branch o! the game is definitely here to stay. 4- O o O

The scheduled junior league

playoff tussle between Reece and Kinsmen was postponed yesterday afternoon and it now seems likely that the game will be played on Sunday afternoon in connection with the opening of the City inter- mediate baseball finals. III 1' I! O

Great interest is being evidenced in this sixth and deciding game to decide the City Junior champ- ions. Due to the showing of the Kinsmen in the playoffs they are now given an even chance of re- taining the honors they won last year and in some quarters are even favored to knock off the hard-hitting Reece crew.

Several baseball scribes were expecting the pennant scrambles recently and one remarked that he had not been won over to rooting for the Dodger kids. "I'll (e11 you why,” he said. "Should the Dodgers win, it will be too much {or me to sit in on those winter meetings in Brooklyn and listen to Branch Rickey pontiff- cute.’

O I

The fact is ‘that Rickey is in a position to tell everybody: “I told you so." The National League raoe has followed exactly the pat- tern which he predicted. The Dod- gar kids started slowly ‘and. fumb- led'eround with growing pains, while the others were making hay. Then they suddenly clicked and came on like the wind to sweep everything before them.

O O O

Rickey, as has been written, is a oomrplex thinker, who has intricate theories about everything. The his- tory of the 194B Dodgers dates from the Saturday morning in early March when Rickey announ- ced that he had traded Eddie Stan- lq. The sun was shining that day in ‘Trujillo City but there was a black pail over the Dodger writers

ncunced,

O O O Btanky, of course, was the rock upon which the Dodgers were built. Why then did Rickey trade him?

O O O

Perhaps the real reason was contained in what Rlcisey said that day. “I have a team of young men," he said. "You fel- lows call thfm babies. You say they rely upon Stanky. That is the point, They rely upon him too much.

O O

1 have great talent but u. will never develop into a greet team if the loss of one man could strip it of its confidence. These kids must develop their own leader- ship qualities and they will never do It while Stanky is around. They will always lean on ,him when'he is available. Therefore. the loss of Stanley during a tight pennant race, could wreck the team. T cannot penmit that hazard to exist."

Fiald Sports At Souris Yesterday

Sport Echoes From Prince Bounty

Now we present our "fielding" All-Star team of the year; c, - Bob Schunrnan, 1b. -- Jimmy Grady, 2b. _ Andy Bourque, 9b. — Les Gaudet, ss. - Gordie Mac. KBY. rf. — Clair White, 1.1’. —- Bill Brnwiey. cf. ~- MUTIIO- A fielding Ali-Star team can be pretty far away from an all-round group of All-stars, for there are some other things in baseball besides fielding; batting, for example, and base-running. But it is really surprising how few 611811895 Wu would have to make in the above line—up to Change it into an All-Star aggre- gation. About two changes, netrhaps. and you would be all se .

For purposes pf here is the “batting” All-Stu team: c —— B. SChUTlTlBn, lib _ Jimmy Grady. 2b — n. Phaneuf (Congratulations, Rugs)’ 3b __ A, Anderson, ss _ G, Mapgay n _ Vince Grant, it _ Dpn ¢ar5on_ of _ Bill MacMurdo. The pitcher for this brand of bruising, hasg- hit bandits would, cf course, have to be Cecil Powell, the winner of the Grant Trophy,

comparison,

Now that we're in ihebusiness of giving you All-Star teams, 511110056 we give you the "base- running" film. Here are the boys with the winged feet, on the basis of stolen sacks: c -- s, Bernard-W). 1h — FuOatnvay-(ltt), 2b —- Bourque-(Z), 3b _ H. Gallant-(B), ss -- G. MacKay-(QS), of - B. Brarwlev-ii). B. M“. Murdo-(B), E. Trainor-(s).

You will notice that Gordie Mac-Kay and Bill MaoMurdc are the Only two Players ubcse names appear in all three teams. We'd better quit. or we'll be giving you the all-star water boy, the all-star umpire halter (he sits right behind us), the all-star Deanut cheivcr, etc, etc.

Now that Tcnton Landry, classy third seeker, and Gordie MacKay, peerless shortstop and spark plug of the Kinsmen Juniors, have left Summerside for college, the team ls pretty badly rlppe at the scams. We know that they will fight gamely to defend their Island championship but it is too bad the issue couldn't have been decided while the team was at. full strength.

Reports have it that the Well- ington Dodgers, winners of the Prince County Baseball League, will play-off with the Kings County winners instead of playing with Summerside as they did 188$ Yell‘. It is understood a trophy will be offered to thé ultimate winner of the rural charmpicnship, This is a fine idea, as it is hardly fair to pit those rural teams against All-Stars from Slummerslde and Charlotte- town. Now, if the same arrange- ment could be made in hockey, it would be a stop in the right direction.

We are on the gve of the Isl- and Intermediate Championship ploy-offs and this year the odds are definitely against the local ball tossers. This will probably not prevent the boys from pitch. ing in and giving everything they have for the cause, so we may see a bang-up series after» all.

Jittery nerves were definitely in evidence in the afternoon ball game played on Labor Day with Charlottetown All-Stars. Plays that would probably have been handled without trouble when the heat wasn't on, were musscd up by our infield at critical stages of the struggle. Baseball is a favorite breeding grounds for jitters. 1n hockey only the goalie has those tense mcments of waiting, Every. body else is going at it hanuner and tongs and one doesn't usually have time to get all tensed up. But baseball is different. Suppose you are a shortstop. You wait out there, knowing that. if the mall comes your way maybe the ball game will depend on haw you pldk it up and throw it. Balls and strikes are called on the batter, and’ there y u“ are, still waiting and thinki They tell ue tournament golf is another game which cells for extreme coolness in mcments d stress.
