‘baseball scene tonight when a strong band of Summerside Kins- men tako on the Reece squad in an exhibition encounter that holds promise of developing into one of the best games of the still young local season. I I I I

Winners of the Island Junior crown last year and with a good many of last year's champions ‘back tonight's visitors have been turning in smart performances as members of the Bummerslide Town League. In fact they have been forcing the intermediate tennis they are being opposed by to the limit to defeat them and close followers are already looking for- ward to them retaining the title they won last year, an effort that broke the monopoly local squads had held on the crolwn.

I I I I

But in Reece they will be fac- ing a squad that in their only ap- pearance this season proved con- clusively that theyare one of the hardest hitting junior teams to be banded together here in a good while. They carry punch all the way down their lineup and it will be more than interesting to note how the hitters fare off against the hurling the Summerside team will throw against them.

I I I I

Defensively the Reece team are improved over the squad that lost out to the Kinsmen in ihc City finals last year. Gaps left by a number of players who graduated to higher ranks have been capably filled and Manager Charlie Ryan, even at‘ this early stage of the race, is expressing confidence in the ability of his team to come through this season.

I I I I

However there is a long, tough road ahead and Charlie will be content to face the tests as they come along. The visiting team w- nlght will furnish an undoubted stiff one and if Fleece can get by them they still have to face the challenge contained in the ranks of the local Knights and Kinsmen squads.

I I I I Knights of Columbus and Kins- men pui. on quite s ball game in their local league encounter on Monday night and fans who wit- nessed the game were quick to place their stamp of approval on the youngsters efforts. The game ivas in the main a pitcher's duel but at other times the teams came through with smart fielding plays and displayed plenty of hustle all the way. I I I I

Kinsmen were a much improved outfit over the team that lost to the Reece squad in the opener. Their fielding was one hundred pel- cent better while their stick- work was also imprbved. In this latter department there is still room for improvement but as the season progresses it is bound to improve for Manager Ev McNelll has a likely looking band of ball hawks. a band that will not yield their title without putting up the stiffest kind ‘of ‘a scrap.

Knights of Columblu. a vastly improved team from the squad that finished in the cellar last ses- son looked good in defeat. As is usually the case in tightly-waged contests like Monday's gain turn- ed out to be a couple of d aslns errors late in the game played a’ major role in their defeat but they showed plainly they will have to be strongly ‘considered.

8o it looks as if the promise of Lightly waged league schedules. ill both Junior and intermediate div- isions will hold true throughout the season. Lest night the new dis- lnond at Memorial Field was clay- ed over for the first time and from now on the teams compris- ing both the junior and intermed- iate loops will have the advantage of playing over one of the finest, if not the finest bell diamond in the Maritimes.

iial ilawilouscr Ghalks llp Fifth Straight Victory

(By The Canadian Press)

Hal Newhouser chalked up his fifth straight American League pitching victory and his sixth of the season last night (Tuesday) as Detroit Tigers downed Philadel- phia Athletics 2-1.

In a full bill of night games. Cleveland blanked Boston 2-0. Washington edged St. Louis and the Yankees sank Chicago 8-2 in 12 innings.

Newhouser, who has dropped four decisions, checked the Athlet- ics with seven hits-all singles ss the Mackmens losing streak was extended to their longest of the season.

The only extra base blows. a double by George Vico of the Tis- ers, was one of the seven hits yielded by Lou Brissls as he mat- ched Newhouser almost pitch for pitch. Brissie struck out eight, Newhouser four and each. walked three.

Lou Boudreauk disputed two- run homer into the right field seats in the fourth inning won the game for Cleveland.

The vast majority of 33.032 paid fans and the Red Sex all claimed the ball left the playing field on the grandstand side of the foul pole but umpire Charlie Berry held fast to his decision that the hit was a hocne run.

However, Boudreaws sixth of the season, was the first hit oi! Bos- ton's staried pitcher, lefty Mel Parnell.‘ It came on a 2-2 pitch and scored left fielder Allie Clark who had walked to start the in- ning.

Parnell gave only five hits all night as did Gene Bearden, In- dians‘ southpaw knuckler who won his sixth decision of the year.

Washington mauled Bryan Ste- phens snd Clem Dreisewerd for 12 hits, including a home run by Ed Etewart, to defeat the Browns.

Milo Candini, second of three Washington pitche . received cre- dit for the victory, his first.

Senators came from behind three times to tie the score and grsqied a 0-4 lead with a two-run outburst against Stephens in the seventh. Washington then stayed off the Browns’ ninth inning rally which prdiuced one run before Tom Isl-rick squelched it‘

Bobby (Golden Boy) Brown's single with one out in the 12th iruling scored Yogi Berra from second with the run that gave New York victory over Chicago

Montreal -iias Ali-Negro Amateur Athletic Ass’n

.,-_._

MONTREAL, July s _- (qp)_. Formation of Montreal's first ali- Negro amateur athletic association was announced here today by of- ficials of the Negro branch of the Canadian Legion, the backers of the project.

The new setup that will be sffil- iated with the Quebeo- branch of the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada is expected to be function- ing in all phases of sport shortly.

The game played between the ILeglonail-es and the RQAF. last Wednesday evening wvhich the Vets won by" the score of 6 to 0 was declared “no contest" by the Executive of the Summerslde Base- ball League according in informa- tion received from President Herb Schurman. The alrforce club pro- tested the game on the grounds that Umpire-in-Chief Hogan had exceeded his authority in declar- ing Ilireddie Foy out for making a threatening gesture to the oppos- ing pitcher and throwing his bat at the screen during the game in question. The League Executive up- held the R. C. A. F, management in their protest, but suspended Foy for one league game.

Cece Powell pitched one of his better games last Friday evening when the Red Sox triumphed over their arch rivals, the Legion, by the score of 8 to 0. Powell had five as- sists which is typical of his play. A surprising num-ber of grounders seem to roll in his direction dur- ing a. ball game, and he is one of the best fielding pitchers we have seen ill these parts.

I I I

Russ (He Caught That Fly) Phaneuf, whammed out the first home run of the current season. Pllaneufs four-base blow came in the third inning off the slants of Ray 'Giblets" Arsenault. and was a. well-pasted ball that soared over the left fieldcrk head and went merrily on its way down a lane that branches off the main high- way. The very next time up Russ smacked a triple to right field.

I I I

Joe Bernard, despite his devas- tating reception from the Red Box in this game, is still a pretty classy flinger in our opinion. As one swallow doesn't make a summer, so one shelling such as Bernard re- ceived doesn't make him out s punk with us. 1t Just wasn't Joes night, and the best of hurlers get that way occasionally. Bernard's speed was as convincing as ever, but his control was away off. He wasn‘t getting the ball where he wanted to put it, that was pain- fully evident. It is only fair to say, however, that the Red Sox are looking more formldaible every day. The big bat of Bob Schurman is beginning to boom again. The Box catcher, who was runner-up to Carson for the batting champion- ship lest year, started this season rather ieebiy, but is now batting over .400. This is more impressive when you consider that Bob, being no fast express on the paths, has to get his base-hits the hard way. Most of the boys fatten their aver- ages a little by beating out smashes to the inifeld. but Schurman has to give the apple a long ride to insure a safe bingis.

I I

For our money, Les Gaudet is the best fielding third baseman in the Sunlmerside League. His work at the hot corner was particularly impressive in the game against the Vets. He seems to know how to play the tough bounces and his throw to first goes home like a carrier pigeon.

“Jinx” Jenkins last night captur- ed the hesvywvkbt boxing title of the Province when he won l. split " ' ‘ over the defending Qhggnp- lon "Big Boy" Peterson in n gruelling and at times savage battle that had the bid sized crowd of fans in a continual state of exciton-lent practically each ma every round.

Giving away over ten lbs. in weight Jenkins after having Peter- son on the canvas twice during the scrap, the first knockdown coming in the first heat weathered a strong attack by his opponent in the next three rounds to again take command in the middle stages but was forced to call on everything at his com- mand in the last round to earn the decision. I

It was a Mush. rugged battle all the way. At times the two keen ring foes took time out for breather-s but in ilhe main they continually

tossed leather from all directions. The scrap ‘was typical of the two previous ones the same pair of

showed great improvement in their wmk inside the squared circle. Judge J. E. Cameron voted in favor of Jenkins; Judge Ralph Cameron called it a draw with Referee Glus Longaphie casting his vote in favor of the new champ- ion.
