Legionaires One Came llp In Finals

1n as exciting s. game as has been witnessed in Summerside for some time the Leglonaires went one up in the best two out of three final series with the Red Sox yesterday afternoon, beating the team that finished first in the regular schedule by the score of 7 to 6.

llicMurdo was perched on second with the potential tying run in the last of the ninth with two out when Ervin Jay toted his wag- gon tongue to the plate. Jay's best baseball days are behind 221m, bu: he can still tag a brill plenty hard, so the moment was fraught with drama. Jay hit the ball hard but right at Syl Bernard in short field and Syl picked it cleanly and whipped it to Grady to end the thrilling contest. The Red Sox outhit the Legionalres l0 to 7 but Bernard had a. big edge over his rival on strike-outs. wliiifing ll to Powell's 4.

The Sox were far from steady afield. They made a Jittery start in the first inning committing four blunders which together with two base hits, gave the Vets three runs. The Sox evened the score in their half on four successive singles and one miscue. The Legion got another trio of runs in the fourth and again errors figured largely in the scoring though the Vets did bunch three safe bingles. The Legionaires picked up another unearned run in the sixth to make it 7 to 3 and as at that stage Bernard was pitching air tight ball it looked as if the Vets would win under wraps.

Then the Red 80x exploded in the ninth with three singles and a booming home run by Bob Schur- man that went to deep centre field. Morrison was on base at the time. Later Walker got a safety, stole second and raced home when McMurdoXs ball went through Underwood, This ended the scoring. The infield work of Hank Landry and Syl Bernard was particularly good while Mc- Murdo was a tower of strength to the Sox in centre field, mak- ing six putouts.

Halifax, the morning and afternoon of September 0th. There has been a sharp rise in the demand for amateur cards since the Meet was announced and with the number of chaps now in training in N.S..

Through the efforts of the Dept. of Physical Fitness. Prince Ed- ward Island is to be represented by a team or athletes running under the colours of the Abegweii Club which is the only Island clu-h inter- ested in sending a team to com- pete in this meet. The Physical Fitness Dept. has been working on gathering a team for the Ab- bies for some time and now with the co-operation of chaps from different communities about l5 athletes are in’ training and will make ithe trip to Halifax PridQy afternoon. There are still a few places on the team not definitely filled so the roster will not be pub- lished today but will appear in a laier edition.

Tignish Aces Winners Prince County Title

The Tlgnleti Aces won the olunpio “' of Prince County Dachau League Sunday at Gnnd River when they de- feaind the home team ., by the score of 7 to 5 in six innings. All the victors runs came in the second inning, and were the re- suJt of nine errors and a field- er‘: choice. Not one hit was reg- istered against Mclfinnon in this fatal frame, but five ground balls went to Gillis, the Grand River short stop, four of which he field- ed cleanly, but, failing to make allowance for a strong wind that swept across the diamond, threw wildly to first every time. The fifth grounder went through him. Murphy on first. also contribut.
