basehall team, strong contenders for Nova Scotia senior hone-rs in an exhibition game against the local All Stars should cause more than a flurry of interest among local baseball fans for it is a Idli- known fact that in other years outside the province teams usu- ally played to overflow crowds. I l l

Westville always noted for pro- ducing smart baseball squads will be making their first visit here in A good many years. The last time, we remember them “us hack 1n the days when George Francis, Lou’ Campbell, Bill Ryan, Frank Cro- nin, Lou Mahlileson, Dutchy Dia- mond and other local baseball luminaries of that era were play- ing off for the senior title.

Those were tlieniafvs when base- ball was really going over big Iierc. Although the Abhies failedl in win n Maritime crown in their‘ mhny ‘tries, they were always m. the thick of the fight for honors and although the locals that W111 be pitted against thcmiomorrow are not as strong J15 than (qr-mgr teams, nevertheless they tog will battle the Nova Scotians all the way and particularly in the case of the younger players will mo. vide them with added experience. And while on baseball although it is not generally known some lofty lnvallded servicemen at present taking treatment in the P.E.I. Hospital Veteran's Wing are keen spectators at the games be. lng played on Memorial Field. From their rooms they have a clem- plcture of the diamond and the happenings thereon and needless to say it is a pleasant diversion for the vets, many of thcm young. stcrs.

But the fact is that Qomgflmes cars are parked in such a, manner that the vets view of the pitchers and Catchers are obscured. Need- less to say it ls an unthinkable act on the part of the motorist-s and it would be a kindly act on their part if in future they would avoid Parking their cars in front of screen covering home plate and the

Featuring o 2.27 trot for a purse of $500.00 and five classified dash- es the weekly night racing pm. gram scheduled for the Exhibition track tonight looks to be about the best racing program the (fir- ectors have come up with yet this season.

The two nlgiht events that have been held thus for this season have lived up to all expectations. Rac- ing has been of the kecnest with unexpected fast times being chalked up. Finishes have been as close as the most rabid fan could ask for and with the program now definitely underway and every. thing working in a smooth manner even better performances can be looked forward frcm now until (the right racing season ends in Aug-

. Despite the fact that races were scheduled for both Riverside and Summerslde tracks on Dominion Day both racing plants drew its quota of fans and in each place keen racing was witnessed. That was the beginning of the Island circuit which will have its climax with the holding of the Old Home Week program August l0 to 13. and judging bv the attendances Thurs- day-unofflclally it is said that a total of 5.000 saw the two meets, before the end of the season rolls around all previous attendance

‘I010 Junior Kinsmen wére de- feated by lhe Legionaires Wednes- day by the close score of 7 to 6. ending this smart team's string of victories. Strangely enough, the Juniors in defeat looked better than they had looked when they were winning. Never had they shown more power at the plate, slamming out eleven hits, including three doubles and a triple. Though they made fewer, errors in the field, they made some smart plays too.

For example, when Bill Allan struck out in the fifth inning. Bobby Gay, backstopping for the first time in organized ball, threw the ball high over first baseman Oatwayle, head. But Bennie Grady. the second sacker. raced behind first base to back up the play. caught the overthrow, and tore in to touch the base before Allen. We don't remember having seen this ploy before while we have been scoring for the Summerside Lea- gue. It was smart baseball.

All thd boys are backing up each others plays much better than they used to do. We saw "Moose" Carson catch a. fly in left field in the night game against Harmon Field, and Brawley, the centre- flelder, had streaked over to back him up. and was behind him ready to make the catch lf the ball trickled through the big fellows glove. In the case of Carson, this isn't too likely to happen. but it is baseball to be there just 1n'case.

A small bouquet for Ed Mac- Innis, 14-year-old youngster, who held the Lcgionalres to slx hits in six innings last Wednesday even- ing. Ed threw e. slow ball which had the Vets breaking their backs to hammer it out of the lot. Stew- art went in to relieve him in the lust inning and was touched for three hits and two unearned runs. which made him the losing pitcher of the ball game. His string of innings without allowing an earned T1111, however, was not broken. He has now pitched 24 such innings, and will probably, like Joe Louis. retire the undefeated champion in this department, as he goes to Acadia son to attend the summer school. ‘

The Hermon Field ball teasers are e. cagey lot, but they demon- strated Thursday morning that the good teams can blow up just as well as the poor ones. 1n the

Residents of Rocky Point end districts along the south shore. as far west as Canoe Cove have been alarmed by persistent reports re- garding u. mysterious animal alleg- edly roaming the wooded sections along the south shore particularly In the Rocky Point and Si. Peters Island areal. This animal ie gen- erally referred to as the I003 Point Wildcat.

O00

This columnist first heard of the

mysterious creature that is reputed .

to be roaming the countryside at night scaring residents outof their wits and devouring farmers’ live- stock, with a special liking for new born calves, about 10 d-ays ago. I I U

The story that I received wae to the effect that a resident of Rocky Point, a Mr. X, was returning home on foot at 11 o'clock on a Sunday night. Seeing an animal leaping into a clump of bushes, he suspected it was a fox and Jumped in after it. According to my in- formant the animal wasn't a fox but a much larger animal with long legs and a bobbed tail that sprang back at him with an un- earthly scream and eyes emitting greenish fire. It was alleged that Mr. X headed for home with the throttle wide open with the animal in close pursuit. The first ques- tion I asked was: “What was he drinking?" I was informed that on this special evening N11‘. X had pal-taken of nothing stronger than a glass of milk.

tee

I was inclined to treat the story as “Just one of those things", but the rumour grew. Calves were re- ported killed and eaten and a man and his wile and young child driv- ing_hcmeward on _a dark night were startled by a fearsome creat- ure that sprang out of the bushes narrowly missing getting a grip on the horse's throat. Women began phoning game headquarters and asking if the wildcat had been shot.
