The Island harness racing e11». c1110 Bot away to a flying start at Riverside yesterday afternoon with "19 $188111: 01 a highly successful card at the Riverside track, e. card that produced keen racing all the way among the slow class perform- ers that were participating.

O O O O

Enthusiasm over the racing ggme seems to be at its highest pitch this season and although we wouldn't judge yesterday's crowd l0 be a record one for the River- side track, nevertheless the fans Were (here in large numbers and as the season progresses it. will not be a bit surprising if attendance records at the various tracks will be shattered beyond repair.

O O O O

The reason for s-uch rabid inter- est is easiiy apparent, for one can Bet as many thrills in an aftemoon as he can stand. The picture can change so fast and so completely in the space of a few seconds, cr if you wish. a few strides, that it is beyond description. Arrzi no mat- ter how slow a mile may be, fans can always rest assured of seeing those hard-driving stretch battles, and what sight could be more nerve-tingling than to witness a field of closely bunched trotters or pacers pOundlng toward the wire in a battle that can be decided literally by an eyelash.

O O O

It has been aptly termed "the sport of kings" and at the same time this Province has been right- fully named the "Kentucky of Can- ad”.

- O O O O The Provincial Rifle Association announced yesterday that a Presi- dent's Spoon Shoot will be held at the Squaw Point. Range near Tea Hill this Saturday afternoon start- ing at 1:30 P.M. The competitions will include firifg from the 200. 500 and 600 yaril ranges with the four riflemen scoring the highest totals on the shoot being awarded sterling silver spoons domted bv the President. Shooting on the 300 yard range will close at three o'clock sharp.

O O O I Two local boxers, Harry "Kid” Poulton, Island welterweight. champ and Beau Jack. former Island featherweight titlist, left for the Mainland yesterday where they will be featured on boxing cards there.

O O O O

Poulton's destination is Halifax where he will train until Friday when he will go to Bridgewater, N. 3., to compete against a. mainland opponent. as the Sftilll-fllldl event on the Upshaw-Jackson scrap being held there that evening, while Beau Jack will meet Billy Snowball .of Newcastle in one of the prelimin- ary matches of s. boxing card at Bathurst, N.B. tonight.

For the past week or two the writer of this column has been wondering if the average local baseball fan has ever stopped to consider just how the Island Base- ball League and the City Junior League teams manage to support themselves financially throughout their regular schedule of play or how much it costs to maintain a team and make trips to Summer- side, etc.

O O O Actually, the answer is a very simple yet important one. They are dependent solely on the contribu- tions made by the fans to those two young ladies who P1158 the "31"" tion boxes around during H Rime- and so far this season the contribu- tion has been anything but an en- couraging one, in fact, the situa- tion has become so acute that the Abegweit Club have decided to bring in a precautionary measure in order to keep baseball alive in the City. O O I

The proposed measure, which will go into effect this Friday when the Abbie squad will play host to a sen- ior baseball team from Maccan, N. S., in an exhibition encounter hero and will be carried out at each sub- sequent game from then on, is t0 charge a nominal fee of twenty-five cents for all fans who occupy seatl on the stands during a 88MB. While the regular customx of passlniz the collection boxes afbflnd l0 ‘"0" patrons who are viewinB the Slim from other positions on the ground! will remain thefarne.‘

To illustrate lust how hard local teams have been finding it to try and make ends meet financially in order- to provide ball games for the entertainment of local fans, let's take for an example, a SID" played a short time nafl- The 0P‘ proximate attendance at the 88m! was 1,000 and tho total receipts amount“! to $25, which works out to an individual donation 0f 1W0 and one half cents P" P9110" l! the ball game. Almost too ridiculolul to believe, isn't it? Yet never! @-

lesl true. . . .

Keeping this fact in mind, now let's take a look at the other I!“ of the picture. Although probably few realize it. do you know that. not including equlvmil" "f?" " but, bells, etc., it colts 845 to take a team up to Summer-lids to play boll? so you can readily lee that it ll prim hard to keep thins: going when you make 05 I00

Curran And Briggs Win From Airmen But Lose To Abbies 7-5

Maccan Team To Meet Abbies liere Dominion Day

The local Abegweit bali team will play hosts to the Maccan team of Nova Scotia on Friday. Dazzlin- 1w Day. at Memorial Field, it was announced by Abegweit officials last night. The visitors. which are a senior ball team. played a double header with the Summer- side Curran and Briggs team re- cently and lost one while tying the other.

This will be the locals first ex- hibition game of the season with outside teams in the Maritiiriies and ball hSWl-{s in the City will be anxious to see how they fare out in the encounter.

The Maccan team will have to be a good ball team to defeat the locals who are at présent the Lea- gue leaders in the l. P. F. B. L. It is not known who will be the starting pitcher of the MacNeil managed squad but it will be either the old reliable "Lefty" MacAleer or the stylish righthander Cyril Smith.

Ga-rne time is set for 2:30 and a large crowd of holiday fans are ex- pected to sit in on the game.

The Curran dz Briggs baseball team came out even on two games of baseball played on their home diamond yesterday, winning the afternoon tilt against the 3.04, F. 7 to 5, and losing the nlghtcap to the Abeswelts _3 1o 2. Both games went the full nine innings. '

went through Mulholland. The con- struction crew replied with three tallies in their half, Stewart walk. ed, stole second, went to third on irpassed bail. and after S, Bernard had flied to second. raced home on Jimmie Grady’: Texas Leaguer to rishi. Gaudet popped to the pitch- er but Gallant singled sharply to right scoring Grady. Gallant stole second and came home on an error by the Alrforce second sacker.

The C. & B. boys added another in the second when Stewart got on and went all the way around on three fielding miscues. They made it 6 to 1 in the third. J. Grady drove a single just inside the first base line, stole second, and scor- fid when Gaudet got. a life on FOYs inaccurate p98 t0 first. Gal- lant. was on when Labonte, run- nlng far to his left dropped Henry's fly back of third base, and Mac- Kay's single through short. scored Gallant.

Another Curran 8a Briggs count- er resulted when J. Grady, who reached first on a. fielder's choice, Went all the way to third on a pas- sed ball. and came in on GaudeUs infield out. In the sixth the R. C. A. F., fighting back gallantiy, closed the gap somewhat by chalk- ing up three runs, the result of three successive hits by Greig, Foy and Labonte, and an error at the keystone sack. They drew up a little closer in the eighth making it

7 to 5. Cox rapped out a double and scored on Hume's two-base blow.

Carson's one-hand stab of Pow- ell's bid for a hit in the seventh was the feature defensive play of the game.

Evening Game

The evening game was} typical Charlottetown - Summerside en- counter, a thrilling pitchers‘ duel all the way. G. ernard gave up three hits, struck out ten men, and issued only one walk. but this free ticket to Goodwin was given up when the bases were loaded with visitors and forced the winning run across the platter. Bernard was forced into the spot. in which he found himself by two serious miscues on the port oi third bale- mlfl and)’. who up to this point had played on exceptionally fine game. With one out. Whltlock doubled to left. and Motheson got a life when Grady played with his grounder to third. Stanley hit to Grady who had an easy potential forceout. at third but elected to throw to second instead. i-iil throw was llte lnd all hlnds were safe.
