THE GUARDIAN, CHARLOTTETOWN

AUGUST 31. 1949

This nficrn00n's racing program will hold an llddfifi attraction to the regular \Vednesday afternoon meet. of the lsliiitd “(T111055 Racing Circuit when the scene shifts to the St. Peter's Raceway for the first time in n number of years. to celebrate its re-opcning as one of the Province’: leading racing ovals.

o Although the fact that the meet will be held at St. Peter's will bring hack fond memories (o tltose who witnessed minty a‘ thrilling track battle there in bygone years, it will be an entirely new plant which will welcome the best of Is- land trottcrs and paccrs there t0- day to compete in the six events scheduled.

nee

Since passing out of the lime- light in the Island Circuit back in the 1030s. the plant has re- ceivcd u complete face-lifting job done on it and nothing has been overlooked during the process to bring it up to standards compar- able to those in other sections of the Province.

.

Aa far as the meet is concerned itself, the program will feature four well-filled classified events which will see most of the Island's prominent trottcrs and pacers, as well asytop-notch mainland entries, competing against one another over the mile route for top hori- ors of the day, '

O I I

With two special dash events also featured on today's card it will make it a full 14 event pro- gram, which ia expected to come up with some more smart. racing feats which have been thrilling capacity crowds of racing fans all season.

I I O

It was announced by officials of the Junior City Baseball League yesterday, that the fourth game of the playoff finals which was scheduled for this evening, will be postponed until Sunday afternoon at Memorial Field, when the Knights of Columbus and Victoria squads will meet in what might be the deciding game of the scr- ies, providing the Knights, who hold a 3-0 game lead, come out 0n top to make it four straight.

. . . .

The reason for the postpone- ment, riccording to officials, is to give the two teams more playing time so that they can get in all of their nine innings of play, as has not been the case in some of the games of the series, such as Monday night's game when it had to be called at the end of the eighth innings on account of dark-

HESS.

The hlg feature in baseball to- day, will be the third flame of the. Island Physical Fitness Baseball League playoff finals, when the Charlottetown Abcgweits and the Summerside Curran and Briggs aggregations will meet on the lat- ter’; home diamond at the West- ern Capital.

O

With the series tied up at one game apiece, (he game should be a natural for a whirlwind en- counter when hoth squads will be coming out swinging in on effort to push themselves to the front in the championship race, and with both having the where-with- all of doing just that, anything can happen, and very likely will before the game l: decided.

It will be a highly important game to win for either squad, and will very likely be the turning point in the series for the team that wins it, as an indication of who will be the final winners, as it will not only be a game deficit for the loser to make up, but also a psychological aspect which very often tells the final tale in a closely contested series.

To Risk Title Against Maxim PITTSBURGH, Aug. 30 -— (AP) — Jake Mintz. manager 0f Ezzard Charles, the Nbtional Boxing As- sociations world heavyweight champion, flatly denied tonight that Charles will defend his title against Joe Maxim of Cleveland at Cincinnati in November. “That's a joke."

Shirley’s Coach A Hero For His Anti-Cold Grease

By Shirley May France DOVER, England — (NBA) — he man of the hour in Channel

swimming training camp! ll my

coach, Hurry Boudakian. He has,

lust developed o new greale com- binatlon, which he says ‘is guaran- teed to keep out the cold. It looks like Channel swimming will be less hazardous hereafter.

The other day Jon Cortical. a speedy Cuban, had to quit for the second time in a week ‘bo- caule the cold water gave him cramps. I'm afraid the some com- plaint has been haunting the Egyptians who are in training at Folkeltone under their great mink Relmy. who" swam the Channel in 1020.

Whatta man that l-lolmy ill 8o’! aix feet six and weighs about 270 pounds.

The Egyptians are very friend- ly with Boudnklln and confided

to him that they are confident of

swimming the Channel, except that they are used to the warmer waters of the Middle Elli. Chan- nel cold ls their worst enemy. Boudaklan told them he‘: been working on a secret mixture, which l first used on my Bat- tery-Coney Inland swim. lt kept me warm throughout that ven- tulra. Now It's completely perfect-

Boudnkian won't let me re- veal the formula, but it con- sists of two layers. The bottom layer ll l kind of llniment, de- signed to keep the pores open and ituiroue body warmth. The top layer of Lnnolln lull the heat in.

With that green, the Egyptians are happy now. They plan to start about Aug. N, if Boutlakiln can get the stuff ready by then. Meanwhile, I've resumed training and 1'11 be back in Channel Iwlrn- inlng very lhorlly, do he'd better

Sport Echoes

From Prince Bounty

Just how much difference there is in the batting strength of the Surnmerside Town League players and those of the Island League l5 a little difficult to determine. Of course, some of the boys play in both leagues and such formidable hickory wlelders as Gunner Cox. Leo D0mbroski and Frank St. JOhH are tough for arty pitcher to face. On the whole, however, the average potential batting strength must be considerably lower. In any case, the pitching of Jack Murphy arll Freddie rpy on Monday evening was high class chucking. . . .

Rumor has it that the Summer- side Town League officials are plotting their annual All-Star term to defend their Maritime iiitermuii- ate championship wen last year. The Simtmerslde All-Stars are the Maritime champions, not the Cur- ran & Briggs term, one of the cf- ficials has informed us. Anyttant seeking the Island title will have ti) beat them. . .

Wednesday's game at the Curran & Briggs diamond should see iill attendance records go by the boards. This is the critical game o! the series because the team that loses it- will have to take two straight to win the title. Both teams will be making a supreme effort to cop this one. We wouldn't be thunder-struck if Francis threw Lefty McAIeer back at us again on Wednesday, and Hogan may decide to start his nce pitcher, Joe Birn- ard, this time.‘

Kenslngton sprang rather a sur- prise in eliminating the Klnkora boys from the Prince County Loo- gue playdowns. In an exhibition game earlier in the season Klnkora had beaten the Kensiugton nine. but. the superiority of Art Larkins charges was fairly pronounced in the two games we saw. (The first one was called “no contest" be- cause it only went six innings, and play-off games in this league must go seven). In the first place Kin- kora. had no fllngers that could match the veteran Eddie MacDon- ald whose work in the first three innings was surprisingly effective. Eddie tired a little and lost some of his really fine control ln the lat- er innings but he was still too good for the Kinkorzi SilCK-VViDidGTS to cope with. He allowed only five hits in eight innings. .

In the second place. Kinkorn had no Wreckers to comipare with Irvin Jay, the second veteran on the Kenslngton lineup. With Jay out of the game, the visitors would have made it pretty close, bu» his big _stlck was enough to beat their. single-handed. Knocking nine runs across the plate in on: game must constitute something 0f a record for organized ball on the Island ‘She fact that Jay is still in there taking his swings is probably a record too We doubt that there is 51010119 915" all his age actively in the game at

O

The next round is a touBh 011B foi- Kenslngton, however. They must take on Lertnox Island, the team that. led the Prince County League in the regular schedule. 1f Kenslngtoii beats those boys thBY will be real giant-killers and no mistake.
