Sport Echoes from

Prince County

"Ivan.

Down here in Prince County we are still patiently waiting for the New Brunswick and Nov; scotia intermediate champions to get their semi-final series for the Maritime championship over so that our Summerside All-Stars can take on the winner. When you get down into October. ideal baseball weather gets pretty scarce. Ball fields take longer to dry up after a rain. and tbe coolness of even- lng greets nl a little earlier every day. It is to he hoped that the final series will begin early next week.

Old Jupe Pluvius rained out a rather attractive sporting event to be held at the Summerside High School diamond on Wed- nesday. Gordie Drilions Char- lottetown softball team ivas tp play the R.C.A_F. team, winners of the Prince County softball league. comprising Kcnsington. Kinkora, Borden and the local air- port. We hope this game will still be played. Drilions prowess as a softball pitcher is well known in the Maritimes. and the R.C.A.F. is said to have a. top notch fllnger also in the person of F. O. Vincent

Receipts were to go to the Prince County Hosoital Fund. and as this is a very wrlrthy object the spectators would no doubt have dug down deep when the hat came around. Sports fans will hope flat this game has been just tempor- arily postponed and not cancelled.

Davis Lidstone and Jimmie Hogan are making an effort to revive football in the High School this year. The boys have been out for their first practice and it ls hoped that a team can he mould- ed together to take on West Kent and Queen Square, and perhaps even the second Prince of Wales "College team. Thc lcadcrs are not Mmaking any promises yet as it ls gutoo early to be sure that the ren- ‘ture will prove successful, hut it "jIS encouraging to know that an

Now that the frost is on the pumpkin. the sport of five-pin bow- ling will soon be getting into its regular stride again at the Caritol éBowiing Alleys. Last year was a Fvery successful one with both ithe men and ladies playing in ‘leagues. Competition was keen all winter and a team from the R. c. -A. F. station won the champion- “ship in the men's division after a hard fight. Local town teams have been in the/process of organization for some time now and there is jittle doubt but that a mighty effort will be made to wrest the crown from the airforce lads this year.

The RCAI‘. five have lost Norm Parsons. one of their stars. but it is rumored they have two or three others who can fill his shoes, among them the big base- ball batting champion. "Moose" Carson, who is said to have a pretty good betting average against the bowling pins also.

BOSTON. Oct. 2——(A1P)—Ohlr- Ies F‘. Adams. ‘l0. majority stock- holder in the National Hockey League's Boston Bruins and founder of a. big grocery chain, died today after a long illness.

Adams was Boston's best-known sports promoter. He helped found both the Bruins and the Suffolk Downs horse race track and for s short time held a controlling in- terest in the Boston Braves Na- tional League baseball club.

During recent years Adams gave over active front-office manage- ment of the Bruins to his son. Weston Adams. On the ice, the Bruins have been bossed for many years by Art Ross, who buiii; some of the best hockey teams 1n the sport.

The Suffolk Downs track was sold two years ago to a syndicate for $4,000,000.

Adams died in hospital after a week's severe illness. He had been in nominal retirement since ne suffered a stroke which par- tially paralyzed him 10 years .\",o but he kept his office in down-

town Boston. Born in Newport, Vt., Adams was the son of a iumberman.

After working as a grocery clerk and a salesman, he founded the First National Stores, largest New England-owned grocery chain. While he was building up his

DETROIT. Oct. 2—(CP)-There':i nothing quite so confusing as try- ing to identify hockey players by their last names around the De- troit Olympia these days.

Reason is that when it comes to hockey-playing families the Dc- iroit Red Wings and associated farm clubs are almost overladen. There sccnzs to be more brother combinations than you'd care to l shake a hockey stick at.

Along about the second period

Marty Pavelich scored for the Spits. '

"Assist. Glesebrecht," said the announcer.

"Which Giesebrecht?"

It turned out to be Bruce. But

it wasn't long before the question popped up again on a third per- iod goal. -

There was more confusion here when someone ventured to suggest it was brother Lloyd this time. That was quickly given up when it was recalled Lloyd hadn't play- ed in the N.H.L. since before the war. -

Must be Bert. then. It was.

That took care of the Glese- brecht family but there were three other combinations in action at various times.

Bill Quackenbnsh, Toronto-born Red Wing defenceman, and his teen-aged brother Max were in the Omaha lineup. Max is a pro- spective Windsor Spitfire.

The l-Ioreck family of Capreol. 0nt., was well represented with Pete playing left wing for the Red Wings while Danny was over on the right boards.

Two thirds of a Windsor‘ for- ward combination were comprised of the Wilson brothers, John and Lawrence. . ’

Mr. Cashfn has had an eventful political career. He is the son of the late Sir Michael Cashin, onetime Conservative minister of finance. He entered public life in 1924 as a Conservative Party supporter. but a yea;- later crossed the floor and Joiner; the Liberals.

Re-elected in 1928, Mr. Cashin became minister of finance in the liberal government. But again he became dissatisfied and rejoined- the Conservatives. He has bren ac- tive in urging restoration of re- sponsible government.

He claims that when the United KinZLOm put the island under control of a commission the prom- ise was given to restore responsible government as soon as the coun-

try was put back on a. strong fin- ancial footing. The war restored the country's finances. Mr. Cashin had described the convention as "a glorious stall" on the part of Brit- a‘n to OXLCIIQ her ho-Id on the is- land.

He is mentionedas a possible Conservative leader. A possible rval might be Mr. Crosbie, promin'ent fish merchant and IIIUIJSITIBIISI‘. “who first entered public life with his election to ihc convention.

Mr. Pratt, another prominent St. John's merchant. intended to run for election to the convention but a last minute technicality prevent- cc him from doing so. He is said tn be “laoliticziliy ambitious" on the side n! the Conservative and Re- sponsible Government supporters.

Mr. Nowell anr‘; Mr. Kcough. am-

ong the younger members of the convention, are strong supporters of the ecu-operative movement which has grown up among fisher- men and primary producers within the past 10 years. While they have attracted considerable attention in the convention it is not yet known whether they intend; to remain in public life.
