racirla

this afternoon at the Exhibition track and the officials connected with the event are confidently expect- ing that this year's program will

ann/ual Goodwill gets underway

far exceed the many line ones that have been staged in the past. . . e

So great has been the interest shown by the horsemen that it has been found necessary to put on a. night racing program to- nigh-t in addition to the alter- noon events in order to give everyone a chance of getting a start. Today's double-barrelled bill should about fill the bill in every respect.

O O O

Flour classes featured by the Free-For-All Trowtlhe latter al- vuays goes over big with the race fans, for there is not a prettier sight than watching a bunch of trotters hitting the home stretch all wids open and all closely packed-will be raced and the entries have been classified in such a manner that nothing else but close finishes can be exzpeoted in every one of the 12 heats.

‘momma canbesaidod the ndght program. Three classes will get the word and racing fans who have taken hold to the night racing programs in a big way will have their last. opportunity of viewing the trottars and pacers under lights that light up the mag- nificent racirlg park in a brilliant manner. Night programs are al- ways keenly contested allfalrs with upsets very likely to happen—such may be the case tonight again but whether or not favorites ccme through the battles that have made the racing game so popular will again be on display.

O O O

Although neither team failed to display their best efforts Freddie McCain's West End Anchors still had enough power left to down the Millionaires in last night's City League en- counter, the last of the league schedule. and enter the playoffs with an imposing record in lea.- gue pl-sy bchmd- them.

O O O Losers of but one guns with another draw throughout the

schedule speaks volumes for the ability of the west end crew and also dor the fine job Freddie Mic- Cabe has done in rebuilding a squad that lest season was eas- ily the weakest ln the league. MoCaJbo did it. too despite the loss of several experienced players, but falling back on Juniors he saw the youngsters come through with smart performances that played a large part in the club's stony performances. O O O

But the final test still has to come and that will get underway on Sunday alftemoon when Anch- ors and Rovers meet in the first game of s best-of-flve playoff series. The date of the opener was decided upon last night and fans who are showing decided in- terest in the outcome are expect- ed to be on hand in large numbers for the opening clash.

O O O

It is an unusual state of af- fairs also wlth the Anchors odds- on-favorltes to win but in the minds of many is the, thought that if Rovers, with the experi- enced squad they are, can show their real form, they may malke it more than interesting for the West-End standard-bearers. And as we said before that can easily happen. Rovers have not been st their best in many of their @- counters due to unforseen circum- stances but with the playoffs here extra. efforts will be made to field the strongest possible line- up and if that comes about, look out for fireworks before the title is decided.

l O O O

Baseball fireworks are likely to explode long before Sunday, how- ever, for this afternoon at the Memorial Field diamond the Reece and Kinsmen Juniors clash in the sixth and deciding game of their battle for the city lunlbr title. In the five games played there has been lit/tie to show between the pair of junior clubs. Kinsmen with the title slipping from their grasp took a toe hold b!’ Winning the fourth game and again came from behind last Sunday to earn s draw when things looked very dark.

O O O

Today, however, the entire story will be told. 1t. will be a battle to the finish between two clubs that never lcnow when they are beaten; two clubs that. can come up with baseball dynamite in a moment and (two clubs that an play it close to the chest in law scoring battles. That is the

setup for today's game and which- ever team wins they will be clp- aHe challengers for the Island

awn that is now worn by slm- _

Swimmers Find Ship Cheaper Travel Method

By Bill Macklln

LONDON, Sept 7 -—(AP)— It costs 32 shillings ($6.40) to cross the English Channel by steamer and £500 ($2.000) to swim, but plenty of daring folks still are go- ing tthe expensive way.

Since the 10-'weck swimming season opened early last month. two men have already crossed the 20 miles of briny deep. More are poised to try it when the stonmy winds can be caught napping long enough to provide the best con- ditlons.

Cruel. equally. changeable though it ls, the Channel lfis fascinated swimmers ever since Capt. Matt Webb of England demonstrated that man could conquer lt 73 years ago It has lured men and women of stout heart and limb from all over the world.

Yet the best. records agree that only 24 persons have ever succeed- ed in swimming the Channel. Two Englishmen, Edward Temme and Tom Blower. did it twice-once in ouch direction-making a total of 26 successful trips in all.

Blower. 34-year-old. ZSO-pound husky from Nottingham, set a re- cord this year for the England-to- Prance swim of l5 hours, 31 min- utes. He also introduced a new twist-the rolmd-trip s-wim. Ris- ing winds, however. forced him to abandon his ambitions of return- ing immediately to the white cliffs of Dover.

The other successful challenger of 1948. Hassan Abd El Rahim. a sergeant in the Egyptian army. also tried something new. With three other alumni lrc-m the Nile. Hassan tried a "team swim." The other fell out short of the beach.

Favorite route of Channel swun- mers is from Cap Gris Nez, France, to Dover. England. There the famous moat between Europe and Britain narrows to the bottle- neck over which Hitler's artillery lobbed shells a few years ago. _

There is talk of the Prince

County softball teams getting to- gether and playing for a. cup dur- ling the month of September. Runlor has it. that the 0'Leary term are willing to put up for competition a trophy they won for softball some years ago. A series of this kind should create a lot of interest, but the matter would have to be decided soon as softball weather is getting to ‘be a, scarce commodity. Besides O‘Leary, there would be Curran dz Briggs, R.C.A.F., St. Paul's Athletic Club of Summerside, and perhaps Kensington, Alberton and Borden might b able t0 field teams for such a cries.

Dyed-ln-the-vrool baseball fans and baseball players please skip this echo. It is meant for the softball players only. In the game betnveen O’1..eary and Curran dz Briggs, in the eighth inning, the construction crew had G. Cameron on first and Finnan on second, and (with one out, ‘(Wedge had flied to loft field) J. MacFadyen lifted a fly to Clement, the O'- Leary shortstop. The runners apparently allraid of being forced headed lickctyl-split for setvlld and third bases. If Clement had caught the pop they would both have been unable to get back to their bases and would probably have been out. The shortstop could have made a double P181! and retired the side. Fortunately ‘for the runners Clement dropped the bull. The point is this. The runners did not have to vacate their bases because MacFadyen was cut the second he hit the fly to the infield. (He was allow- ed to remain on first, but this. of course, was contrary to the rules). This rule is called the "Infield Fly." It protects the runners on first and second base. If it wasn't in the hwks a BmBTt infielder would have the runners at his mercy. If they remained on their bases he could contrive to drop the ball and illen get s
