The summersldp Holman base- ball tcam has been taken out of the Nova. Scotla-Prince Edward Island intermediate series. and Amherst, taking the series by de- fault will pmbably advance a- gainst the New Brunswick winners. Memramcook, for the Maritime crown. James Hogan, personnel manager of R. T. Holman, Ltd. is- sued a statement yesterday to the press giving the following three reasons for discontinuing the ser- ies: (1) the latches of the season: (2) the inclemency of the weath- er: (3) the inability to make sat.- isfactory financial arrangements with Amherst club.

We listened to part of the dis- cussion that took place regard- ing financial arrangements in Am- herst after the game Thanksgiv- ing Day. It appeared that Am- hcrst insmted on the third game being played on their home grounds. They refused an offer to play in Summerside, with the Holman club guaranteeing their expenses. They refused to guaran- tee the expenses of the summer- side team if tney played the game in Amherst. All they would pro- mise was half of the gate, and considering the crowd attending Monday's game, this would not go anywhere close to paying the H01- man team's expenses.

By the way, we reported the AlI1IlEIlslrSumII'l6l1Side game. giving the score as 7-6. Since then we have heard some difference of opinion regarding the score, some maintaining that the score should have been 9-6. Well, if you can go by the 1954 baseball rules. the score was exactly as we reported - '1-6. with the bases loaded. Len Smith drove a fly to deep center- field. The boys all raced across the plate, we believer, and Smith ended up at third. Normally, we feel sure that his hit would have gone for a triple. But the score was 6-all when he got his blngle. and rule 4.10 of the 1954 rules says-"it is a regulation game when

ithe home team scores the win-

ning run in the ninth inning be- fore the innlng is completed.” It goes on to say: "If a batter in the last half of the final inning of It game hits home run over the fence, or into a stand, all runners on base at the time, as well as the batter. shall be entitled to score." But. Smith did not hit over the fence, or into a stand, so the game was legally over when the first runner crossed the plate. In- deed. the l-1o:man fieldcrs made

QUEBEC. (GP)-With A possible lfe , fun from organized hockey facing him, Eddy Danny- luck, 19-year-old newly-acquired defenceman with Quebec Fronten- acs of the Quebec Junior Hockey League packed his bags early Tues-

day and headed home to Glace Bay. N.s. . Coach Phil Watson said the

If he returns. Watson said, Front- cnacs will "think it over" about rehiring him. If he doesn't the club will ask the Quebec Amateur Hockey Association and the Cuna- dlan Amateur Hockey Association to have Dannyluck suspended for life for "contract jumping.”

Watson said: "I have it on good I1-llhorliy he's going back to play for either Grand Falls. Nfld., or Belle Isle in some outlaw league! (The Newfoundland League.)
