LITTLE SPORT

Although this will be one of the busiest weeks in sporting and cthcr top entertainment features, there will be little in the way of base- ball and other team sports to make way for the Old Home Week pro- gram of horse racing and more horse racing, stock and poultry shows, midway entertainment and first rate vaudeville displays, all to take place in the one big cen- tre of activity, the Provincial Ex- hibition Grounds. O 0 0 It will be a week of thrills and excitement to meet the demands and wishes of young and old alike when visitors from near and far will intermlngle with the people of the Island Province in one big happy throng of pleasure seekers to celebrate the one really big week of fun and entertainment of the season - Old 1-Iome Week. 0 O 0 Ever since it was officially made known that the Charlottetown en- try in the Maritime senior Hoc- key League was to play under the name of the Islanders, there has been considerable discussion ill hockey circles here, both pro and con, on the subject. some don't like the name at all, while others think it is a very suitable one. I O C

Those who are against the use of the name "Islanders" claim that it lacks color for a hockey team that everybody hopes will be going places in senior competition this winter, many suggesting such names as Abegweit and Royals. two names that have built up fine reputations in hockey circles in past years, while many others sug- gest a name entirely different from anything used for teams here

Sport Echoes From Prince county ,

The double Charlottetown Falcons took over the Cunran 8: Briggs lea-gue lead- ers on Sunday should prove a real shot in the arm for the league, and it will not do the Curranites

win which the

any harm either. The Falcons are only one game behind the con- struction crew now, and the next iime these two ball clubs meet there should be some old-time, inter-town rivalry such as we have seen so often between Sum- melrside and Charlottetown. As Curran & Briggs continued to de- feat the other teams 'in the league with monotonous regularity, the fans. C. & B. fans we mean, were beginning to find it hard to stifle their yawns as they watched the contests. Now they should sit up and really take notice.

Unfortunately, however. the Fal- cons and Curran & Briggs do not meet in regular league competit- ion any more this season. The C. & B. club, due to the rather un- usual method of drawing up the schedule, meet the R.C A.F. twice and the Abbies once more before the start of the playoffs. The Fal- cons meet ihe Abbie: twice and the R..C.A.F. once. However, there are some postponed and tied games to be settled and those may have some bearing on the final standing. Taking everything into consideration. it looks as if the Falcons still have a fairly hard row to hoe to come out on top.

The real battle will probably be between the R.C.A.F. Royals and the Abbies to get into the playoffs. The R.C.A.F. have a half-game edge, we believe, and there should be some spirited battles before it is decided which of these teams is going to place in the third spot for the semi-nnals series in the playoffs.

Lefty McAleer. king of the port- siders before Bob St. Pierre arriv- ed on the Island scene, picked up two victories Sunday and his re- cord should compare favorably with any other - pitcher in the league at present. It would be fine if we could get some statistics on that from the secretary of the league, if such a personage really exists.

As "Old Home Week" goes to bat this week, baseball will suffer sngecllpse, and all the emphasis will be on duels on the back stretch, and on long shots to win. place and show, and "lad-ees and gen'lmen. inside that lent you will see the only living human being who barks like a dog, eats pes- nuis like an elephant and drinks like a fish." No games are sched- uled for this week. and the next games are slated to take place on August 23rd.

The scheduled game in Summer- side will probably be postponed. however. for a super attraction, never seen here before. is on the books for the C. at 3. ball park on that date. Donkey baseball be- tween teams made up of Summer- side business men and Curran & Briggs ball players will hold the spotlight on August 23rd. Mule train will be from home plate io first to second to third to home plate again. and the records set by John Gilpin and his famous ride will probably all be broken. ..n...:.n....j......

The Old Home Week racing pro- gram got away to a flying start at the Exhibition Raceway last'even- ing -when some 3,500 ardent racing fans crammed the stands and grounds where they witnessed an '- ” r ' J nine-dash program of harness horse racing enter- tainment to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of the Provincial Exhib- ition Association.

Highlighting the card was the Junior Free-For-All Pace, that saw Lock Hanover of the Bart Yerxn stable of Sussex, N. 3., clip off all three dashes in that division over a hard-pressing field of A.G. Scott Argot Pointer. Gay Law, Joscdale Clipper, Filbert and Cy- cle-nic in some powerful battles over the mile distance. The Dock Hanover horse, driven by Claude O'Brien of southporf, led all the way in the first dash to pace the fastest mile over an Island track this season -when be clipped it off in 2:09. The second dash of the division saw the Hanover entry trail A.G. Scott for the first half before making a drive to take over the lead and come in a winner again, followed by A. C. and Argot Pointer. It was a drive from behind Argot, cyclonic and. Clipper at the three-quarter 'pole in the final dash that saw O'Brien bring him in for the third win of the night. '
