Softball followers at No. i0 Gun- nery and Bombing School at Mt. Pleasant ‘should be in for o. real exhibition of softball this after- noon when the team from that station tangles with the All-Star station team that will represent the Charlottetown Airmen.

. o e

Monday night a large crowd o! fans saw these two same squads put on an exhibition of ball that would be hard to equal anywhere. it Just abounded with scintillating plays from the time the first bat- ter stepped to the plate until the final out and it is still a hard mat- ter to figure Just which squad is the better one.

e e

Certainly. although the Char- lottetown team did come through with that important opening vic- tory, they at the same time failed to sMI lb ‘better than the Mt.’ Pleasant team. They did have n little more batting power as a glance over the summary of Mon- day's game will show but the de- fence of the visitors was so stout that with the exception of that fifth inning their blows were fall- ing to payoff.

O O O

But when the break came as a result of that close force-out play at third base the Charlottetown team were quick to take advantage and Patterson's mighty wallop to left field proved to be the payoff. ll was clutch hitting of the high- est order and Patterson was very nearly mobbed as he chased his three teammates over the plate.

Walter Goss, Y. M. C. A. super- visor at the Mt. Pleasant Airport and manager of the team will be remembered here among local sports followers. I-le was very active in baseball, softball and basket- ball circles not too many years ago. Still a youngster as far as alle goes but a veteran in experi- ence he was naturally disappoint- ed in the outcome of Monday's game but at the same time was high in his praise of the per- formance staged by the Charlotte- town squad.

I

Walter was always a great type of sportsman taking his defeats Just as well as he took his victories and the same held true yesterday. Rather than look back on any miscues of Monday's game he pointed rather to Wednesday's game on his home diamond and together with his team felt con- fident that they would force the series into a third and deciding game which if it becomes neces- sary will be played on the Sum- merside diamond Wednesday night following the afternoon game at Mt. Pleasant.

a o o

And it will not be surprising to this writer if a third game will be necessary. Mt. Pleasant have a strong team welded together and if they can solve the offerings of Walter Brown. Charlottetown pitcher, they will be very, very tough to head. .

-

But in Brown they will be fac- ing the toughest softball pitcher to get to show his stuff here in a good many years. All season long while performing in the City League Brown has been steady and dependable and he showed his mettle Monday night with that two-hitter he pitched.

o e o

The two hitter came right on top of another two hitter that he pitched on Sunday for the Officers‘ squad. Only on Sunday, Brown, through a couple of bad errors be- hind him and a momentary loss of control on his part lost a game that with two out in the ninth looked to be "in the bag." ,

t - e

But that was all forgotten about Monday night as he again toed the slab. And that time backed up my the brilliant support that he did receive he came through with flying colors. His delivery is not an overly fast one but he must have had loads of stuff on the ball to throttle the Mt. Pleasant bat- ters like he did.

e e s

Tomorrow, however, will tell the tale of lust which station team will earn the right to travel to Montreal to take part in the play- cowns here and again we say fans in the western part of the Island will see one of the toughest games — if it doesn't go to a third and deciding encounter — that they have ever been privileged to witness,

Members of the Detroit Tigers who were with the club back in l940—i'cllo\v.s like Rudy York, Pinky Higgins, Diz Trout and Hal Newhouser — are probably won- dering today, like a lot of the rest of us, ii it is possible for hiIIII I: repeat. _ '

You members of the "Let's Give Vaughan ‘he Razzberry" club will, of course, recall what happened in 1940! How the Tigers staged a sensational finish to snatch the league championship from the Cleveland Indians and then got bumped off by the Cincinnati Reds in the world series.‘

.

For those who recall that light- ning pennant dash made by t!" Tigers of '40 in the last six weeks of the season, the present win- ning pace of the Detroit entry must loom as a "tailor made" pattern for something similar this year.

e u a

At this juncture in i040 the Tig- ers were in second place, being challenged by the third place New York Yankees and there was little doubt among baseball minds that the pace-setting Cleveland Indians would breeze in. Then the Tiers applied the preamble to t eir "photo finish!- ‘ .

With a brilliant stretch of win- ning baseball, they moved into first place on Sept. 0, although they weren't able to hold it for more than a day. Moreover they had been as low as third on Sept. 5. Finally they .I.ook over first place again on Sept. i0 and held it to the bitter finish. winning out by a two-game margin.

Up to the present, that was the most hectic finish the American Hague has had in recent years.

In the first of the ninth navy had men on first and second with none out: the tying runs were on the sacks but Air- craftsmen pulled out of the hole with a double play on a pop fl)’ behind second base to put down the uprising even though navy with the next man hitting safely saw the game end as McDonald went out on a called third strike with the tying runs again on the sacks.

The Dodgers came back last night to defeat the Cardinals 14-8 in the third game of the Holy Redeemer softball finals. Cardinals won the first two games in the best of five series. '

The Dodgers were right on their toes last night and were entitled to their win The Cardinals were hardly up to the form they dis- played at the start of the series and will have their hands full to turn back the Dodgers now.

Highlights of the game included mughey‘; pitching, which was everything that could be desired; Doiron's catch of Bennie Callagh- ans’ liner which looked likeahome run; Gauthier played a great game at second.

Russel St John was the umpire g; the plate, while Hal Bruce and A Ward were on the bases.

Personally we arc inclined to pthink what happens to the Tig- ers in their current series with Boston and the following series with the Yankees in New York is , going to have a lot to do with how the teams finish. It is true that the Browns can hit a slump but, so far, they have been the most ‘consistent team in the league and

are likely to continue as such.

The fcam that book the Browns out is goin to have to play sen-
