TODAY WE GO to press for the last; time in l958. and for (l at reason we thought. a very quick look at the local sports scene of the past twelve months would be in order. It will merely be just touching the surface but at least. we‘ll give it a. hurried look.

IN HOCKEY Charlottetown Royals went to the Maritime finals before bowing to Bathm'st Papermakers. The Royals had a tough season. waiting six weeks for action after the Maritime League comprising Amherst, Charlottetown and Summerstde folded. Amherst and Summerside decided to go along the Allan Cup trail but the Aces from the western capital were ousted by the Ramblers. The Royals reached the finals by beating the Northside Combines. champions of the Cape Breton League and ousting New Glasgow Rangers who had represented the Mari- times against Upper Canada in Allan Cup play. of

Inimugiiout the province and team dependent on these ice sur- faces had anything but a successful season.

GOLF ENJOYED its most successful season to date es fan as participants were concerned. More folks were playing golf than ever before and the course at Charlottetown, Summersule and Cavendish were crowded throughout the golﬁng months.

If we were picking the outstanding Island athlete of the year, we would have to go along with the selection of the popular pm It Charlottetown course, Cecil ‘Bubby' Dowli'ng.

Bubby won everything there was to be won around the Marl-

.Ilimesfin 1958. Here are his five achievements. The Nova Scotia

Open, the N.B.-P.E.I. Professional Crown, the Saint John Ex- hibition, the P.E.I. Open and the Maritime Professional Golfers. It was a clean weep for the likeable little pm and his successes were decidedly popular all around the circuit.

BASEBALL had its own time surviving in and around Char- lottetown. Finally Bria-n Lewis took hold and, with Canadian Legion backing, fielded a strong junior club that won the Island Junior‘croWn. The Legionaires were ousted by Saint John in the N.B.-P.E.I. playdowns.

Mount Stewart gave the Charlottetown Juniors unexpected opposition In the Island finals. The Mount Stewart lads were in their first year of competition and surely came through with top notch performances.

Summerside Juniors engaged in a series with the Legion lads but .it was strictly exhibition because the western lads didn’t register for Maritime playdowns.

Rural baseball ﬂourished with the King's Cotinty folks again seeing some thrilling battles before Peakes Bombers were crowned County champions. The Bombers then trounced Grand River to win the Prince Edward Island rural championship.

Rollie’s Arrows sidelined the Peakes boys in the battle for

i the Prince Edward Island intermediate title. The Arrows then

visited Saint Stephen but were badly outclassed by the New Brunswickers. '

In Charlottetown and Summerside, Jack ‘Spy' Ready and Johnn Carroll did a great job with little leaguers and other minor brackets. The youngsters took full advantage of the on: po-rtunities and some promising prospects cropped up. ‘

SOFTBALL had one of Its better Island. .

.ln Charlottetown a five-team City League opcmated with Junior Basilica Youth Club finishing on top inrregular schedule play. Benevolent Irish Society Shamrocks just managed to milke the last playoff spot but once they got into those playoffs they really turned tiger. They ousted the Youth Clubbers three games to two and then won the '~ City Championship by beating last year’s champs, Barry’s Lions.

The Inish, entered in Maritime Senior 13 competition, played the Saint John Burma Royals, New Brunswick titlists. The Royals ended the season for the Ev Reagan-coached crew.

In Summerside Summerside Legion made the home folks really loftball conscious. The Legion went right to the Maritime finals inintermediate play before Fredericton won the three- province crown. Before that Legion journeyed to Halifax, beat the Navy, Nova Scotia champions, in their own yard and then ﬁnished the chore in Summerside.

CURLING CONTINUES to be one of the greatest games of them all from a player standpoint.

Doug Cameron's Charlottetmvn rink represented Prince Ed- ward Island at the MacDonald Brier and emerged with a most favorable 5-5 standing.

In Schoolboy curling, the Prince of Wales quartet almost brought the bacon to the Island.

Prince of Wales fenced the Northern Ontario rink to the limit before the Upper Canadians were crowned champions. These matches were played in Charlottetown and did a great deal to further the interest of culling here.

BASKETBALL was once again a popular pastime, especially from the player standpoint; Both high schools in Charlottetown and the one in Summerside had plenty of boys who were anxious to play the hoop game.

‘ In senior circles, an Island League was in operation and the Charlottetown Trotters emerged as the victors. The Trotters then went after greater laurels and in a Maritime tournament

The Red and White scholars played five games in theiMari- time Intercollegiate league and were victors on three occasions. They, beat Saint Mary’s, Saint Thomas and Acadia and were trounced by Mount Allison and University of New Brunswick.

Saint Dunstan's Junior Varsity came up with a strong outfit and won the intermediate Island crown from PJ'ince of Wales College without the loss of a game. ' .

Local fans appeared well on their way to accepting the ‘new’ game and large crowds were on hand at each game Senior Saints played wrth mainland colleges.
