Eight Countries To Compete

In Annual Tun

By GERRY MARTIN

Canadian Press Staff Writer

WEDGEPORT, N. S. (CPI V Forty-eight top anglers from eight countries gather on the churning waters of Soldiers Rip here Sept. I to open the quest for honors in the annual international tuna tour- nnment.

The battle of the blucfms is ii lop Iporting and tourist event in Nova S4-otia. The big game anglers themselves say that landing a fighting tuna tops even the thrills of an African safari.

The three-day tournament brings teams from Chile, Cuba, the Brit- ish Commonwealth, France. Neth- nrlandsy United States. Mexico and Venezuela to compete for the Alton B. Sharp trophy.

Cuba won the first of her three chnmpionshipe in 1938. repeating in I347 and 1952. The United States has won twice. Mexico. the de- fending champion. Ind Ollie eIch have won once.

The tune itself is called the gsmeat of all fish. Weighing up to N0 pounds. they travel It locomo- tive Ipeed and fight with Invest fury.

ad more fish than the 129 lauded all last season.

The waters off Nova St-olia pro- vide the home for the biuefin dur- ing the slimmer mouths and the rip tides off this Nova Scotia town are especially to their liking.

Soldiers Rip is an iiiiusuiilly rniigh patch of tidal water 12 ITlilf'5 off Wedgcprirt. Here the tuna herd the herrim: and mackerel that make up their daily bill-Of-IHIF.

The rip iisclf is a six-knot iidc stream abmit a mile wide and the disturbance at tnis spot is aided by submerged plateau over whicr. the water drops as the tide falls away. It causes a cliiirii of angry water that is plainly marked on the sea.

Everything favors the tuna. even the cost of catchliig him.

Tuna fishing ranks with the most expensive pastimes in the world of sport and there's no nionetnry re- ward. The prize is the much cov- eted sharp trophy. a shining silver bowl designed by Lynn Bogue Hutu of New York City, I gift from Al- ton B. Sharp, Boston sportsman and president of Eastern Steam- ship Lines.

The Sharp trophy is awarded on a point basis, based on the biggest fish of the toiirnament. the big- gest fish each day, the high team total for the day and tournament. and I0 on.

To go tuna fishing one hires ii boat and I guide at about 350 a day. This is in addition to the hotel bill and A heavy round of social engagements.

The last two years have been poor from the fishermen's point of view. During the 1952 tournament, fishermen got impatient with luck on the rip and hearkcned to the call of the nearby Tusket river mouth where commercial fisher- men hnrpoon large kills daily.

That shouldn't happen this year because after starting off slowly the season has picked up

The chips ilieyie big and blue today foi

The Alibms rircd more hitting lllilli the) have been getting if inr-3 air to win. Dre LeFui'gey ll(lS llivl hm-ii giving up hits with iiii-ii on base during this series and that explains why the Cur-

raiiiics ale in the lead. The Sum- lIlf'li5idP youngster has pitched good half Suit? the opening night when he bested Don MacLeori 1-0. He has ii(iii two of the Suiiiinerside games and preserved the other. . . .

Le1”iii1ie-y has been able to get the big iiicii in the games which he has won. In the QFIIIIP which he lost me liii: men hit him. Duck MacLeod homered. hit a double and single in the game which the Abbies mm 7-0. SIIICP then Le- Fiirszcy has given up his share of base hits but he has been careful to dish them out when there's no one on base and usually always when theres one or two out.

. . .

Youm: Ronnie Stanley, a crafty righthaiirler goes to the hill thlr aft:-riinnii for the Abbies. In his City Lcaciic .-apps-araiic-as he has been vrry iznod This is his first year in Junior ball and this after- iinnn he will be making his first appearance in the Provincial finals. If he is given iho proper fielding and hitting siippml he can change the complexion of this well played series.

. . a

The kind of support that Stan- lcy will want this afternooii will be that elven the Abbies' pitchers last siimrunr when they shelled thosc two good Boston pitchers. E. Bur,-kley and .la(k I(earns. off the mound. The highly rated Buck- ley finished only one game last year ns the Abbie batters slammed his offeriiilzs around the park. The Abbies have players who have shown that they can give that lmrs:-hide tho long and frequent ride but they won't be of much use unless they start slamming to- day.

a a -

Of course the Ciirrniiites too have boys who can hit. the ball. They didn't win three games with- out in-tting their share of hits and playing good defensive baseball. The results of the games show there isn't much between these clubs. We would say that t.he cur- rnnites have received better-lhan- hoped pitching performances while the Afobles hitting has not been an steady as had been expected.

I U 0

Speaking of pitching the efforts of Henry Hartinizer in the Citv Softball Lenizue play-offs should not go unnoticed. H-artinger, wnc won the. leading pitcher's award during the regular league play. has shown remarkable endurance and ability since (he play-offs com- me-nccd. Last. week he pitched three romplete games and relieved in the fourth when Canada Packers ousted the l.. Y C in the qliarter-finals This week he went the route as the Packr-rs dcfealed the City twice. Six pitching performances in eight days for a guy who spends his oars working on Maritime Electric light polo: and lines l8 quite a feat.

Another fellow who (llstiiigiiished himsclf by his endurance during llir regiilai League schedule was John Thisflc of the Legion. Thistlo ins ilic l.rizmn's one man pitching staff. llr went. to the mound 24 r'llllFS and nfion he was called upon in pitch srvr-ral times in one week. And he almost siicceeded In hurl- ml: the Legion into the play-offs. If there were a Most Valuable Plavei-'s Award he would certainly be a leading candidate.
