TENNIS TITLE N NT B NE S

Tennis stars, male and female, some of whom are seeded players classed within the first ten in the Dominion, are gazing to the ex. treme east as the season matures. t0 little Prince Edward Island down here in the Gulf where from August 5th to August 8th inclusive the Provincial titles, doubles and singles for the respective sexes, will be decided this year.

It is a peculiar fact that although tennis has been a. part of our sport uulTlClllUm. for many years, the Is- land has never been affiliated with the governing body for Canada. the Canadian Lawn Tennis Association. Whether it was an oversight or whatever the reason, the province has remained outside the orbit of the "body which controls and regu- latestennis in the Dominion. It is the only province so placed. This position of isolation from the rest of Canada is now about to be end- ed. Affiliation is being sought with the central association in Upper Canada who sanction all cham- pionship tournaments in the Do- minion and without whose author- ity such a tournament’ could not take place.

The holding of an open tourna- ment in Charlottetown opens up a new era in tennis for the two Island clubs, Summerside and Charlotte- town. It will bring Island players into contact with some of the most noted players in the Maritlmcs. Quebec and Ontario. Communica- tions have already been received from Halifax. St. John, Ottawa, and other Upper Canadian centres.

New Brunswick, where the game has a stronghold, is sending a con- tingent from Saint John, Freder- icton, Moncton, and other towns. Jack Babbitt, holding the Mari- time singles crown, who resides at Fredericton, is expected to defend his title, Leroy Rennie, sixth rank- ing player in Canada. is almost oertan to enter the llstsStars from Halifax who have intimated that they will come include Cliff Wis- well, veteran Maritime player, ‘a former Maritime Champion and still a formidable competitor for the highest honors. Harry Roper. Bev Pcirs, and Hugh McLellan, Maritime champion in i028, a Rhodes Scholar now in London and due back in Canada on July 1st.

The Island is particularly fortun- utc in the dates agreed om-August 5th to the 8th. inasmuch as New Brunswick holds a provincial tour- nament the lust week in July and Nova Scotia is holding hers immed- iately following the Charlottetown tournament. Players who.will fig- ure in New Brunswick meets will thus be at the top o1‘ their form for title matches here.

‘It is the first time that the major event of the Maritime tennis world has ever been held 1n this city and gratification is being expressed by the Charlottetown club and the members of other clubs in Chill”- lottetown.

As the entries come in, the Pat- rot will have further information about the tournament.

R|F|.E_NTES

' The Council of the Provincial Rifle Association met last evening and decided on Thursday and Fri- day. July 30th and 31st, as the dates for the Annual Provincial Rifle Matches. The program will be practically the same as last year land a. booklet giving the list of matches, etc., will be ready for dis- tribution shortly.

In order to stimulate interest in rifle shooting, a committee consist- ing of Capt. W. A. Smith. Lieut. S- lMoore and Sgt. A. McCabe were appointed to arrange matches pre- ceding the Provincial. These will be held on Saturday afternoons, start- ing July 4 and some will possibly be held on Wednesday afternoons. There will be some prizes in con- nection with the matches.

The City Championship Trophy over which some great battles have taken place, has not been shot for since the War, to our recollection. This year the match will be reviv- ed. nn Saturday, July 18th, it is understood that the competition is confined to riilemen resident in the city and Royalty. The ranges will be 200, 500, 600. The valuable City Championship Trophy will go to the winner and there will also b9 prizes for an open shoot.

'I'he Guardian Trophy, which is limited to a team of four men, is another piece of silverware which has not been very active in mofing around of late“years. At present it's in thecustody of the veteran rifle- man E. G. Love, who with three other stalwarts won it from the

On Friday, April 24, 1931, the angel of death visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Pierce, of Ei- mira, and called to its eternal re- ward, their dearly beloved daugh- ter Cecilia, at the early age of nine years. Deceased was a. child, en- dowed with more than ordinary tal- ents, brlght and attentive at school, kind and obedient at home, the idol of the family and a general favorite with all.

She bore her sickness of several months duration, with marvelous fortitude and patience, without a murmur or complaint, and although she received the best medical at- tendance and the kind attention of devoted parents who saw her slow- ly waste away, until death relieved her of her sufferings and permitted her pure and innocent soul to join the vast army of blessed angels who eternally sing the praises of Him whom her youthful heart had learn- ed to love and serve so well.

There are left to mourn, besides her son-owing parents, two sisters, Mary and Cora.

Her funeral, which was held on Sunday afternoon, was largely at- tended. Services at the church and grave were conducted by her pastor, Rev. R. J.Ma.cDona1d, who also ad- ministered the last rites of the Catholic Church and all that was mortal of "dear little Cel1a" as she was familiarly called was laid ten- derly and lovingly to rest.

_ The following Mass Cards were received: - Father and Mother, Sisters Mary and Cora, Uncle Jo- seph, wlfe and family; Uncle Jack and Aunt Josephine; Eileen and Kimble McDonald, South Lake; John J. McDonald and family, South Lake; Mary Harris, Char- lottetown; Thomas Harris, Joseph Harris, Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Mac- Phee, Elmira; Mr. and Mrs. P. E. Holland and family, Mr. and Mrs.

Willard Locke, classy Charlotte- town dista-ncerunner, leaves this ‘afternoon for Halifax, Nova. Scotia, where he will run in the annual Marathon being staged there on Wednesday, July 1st. Willard,‘ it will be remembered, finished in sixth position last year and reports himself in perfect condition for the grind this year. He confidently ex- pects to be among the first three to breast the tape this year. Locke is heavier and appears more rug- ged this season, and his unany friends no doubt are pulling for him to even win the classic on Wed- nesday next.
