decision over Joe Pyle of New Waterford, NS, in a 10-round feature boxing bout viewed by 2.200 s\vcllering fans at the Glace Bay Forum tonight. Andrews weighed 142. Pyle 146.

By JACK HAND Q

BRDOKLYN, July l8 — (AP) - Jackie Robinson, in a roundabout way, today served notice on boss Branch Rickey of Brooklyn Dodg- ers that he wants more money in i960.

The Negro star. leading hitter in the National League and top can- didate for the most valuable play- er award, used an appearance be- fore a. congressional committee in Washington to break the news.

Called before the House of Rep- resentatives un-Americaai activit- ies committee to challenge a state- ment by singer Paul Robeson that Negroes in the United States would not fight in a war against Russia, Robinson told the mem- hers, among other things:

“it isn't very pleasant for me to iind myself in the middle of a. public argument that has nothing to do with the standing of the Brooklyn Dodgers in the pennant race - or even the pay raise I am going to ask Mr. Branch Rickey for next year."

Jackie dropped it in just like that. But he was imder oath be- cause the committee swears in all witnesses.

Robinson didn't say how much oi a raise he wanted. It is not the policy of baseball clubs to discuss such matters in open forum, and Rickey declined comment when told about it. Best guess on Rob- inson's current salary is about 819, 000.

‘more doesn't seem to be much argument about Jsckle earning his keep. The latest averages show 111m hitting .303, or 31 points bet- ter than runner-up Ralph Kiner of Pittsburgh.

And that isn't all. He has more hits than any other player in the majors, 1'17, and tops the National League in runs scored with 73, runs batted in with 08 and stolen basen with 21.

Cord Kiley, Cape Breton Golden Gloves junior welterweight cham- pion for two years running, scored a clean-cut decision over Bob Gammon of Halifax in the six- round semi-final.

Mutt Ksvtuk, Glace Bay light- hesvyweight, didn't give ‘the heat rchamce to wear on him. He belted Ralph Parker of Halifax out in 56 seconds of the first round.

Island league baseball received a decided boost on Sunday afternoon when Curran 8s Briggs squad and Abegwclts came through with one of the finest diamond perfonmances- in years in playing to a IZ-irmhis scoreless draw before a large 5l7r_ ed crowd of spectators who went aw-ay thoroughly satisfied with the) outcome.

O O O O

As s, rcsult oi the stalemate the first place deadlock still exists and' with the R.C.A.F. team showing decided signs oi improvement the, league from here on should devel- op into a nip and tuck tussle right to the wire with the resulting play- offs likely to hit an all-tune high both in the calibre oi ball played and interest evidenced among the fans.

O O O O

Sunday's game had everything.- Both pitchers "Lefty" McAleer andl "Fireball" Joe Bernard were superb in all twelve innings and when] opposing batsmen did get a. piece- of the deliveries both the inner and outer gardeners came through with defensive plays that actually scintillated. Players were on their toes all the way and it is perform- ances such as the one just recently witnessed that will take out the ball followers in ever increasing

numbers. O O I O

Going beck l» the pitchers in the game both McAieer and Bernard have opposed each other in somel stirring mound duels in the past‘ three seasons but Sunday's topped them all. Honors were evenly div- ided wiih both showing courage in the pinches that stamped them as real mounds-men and certainly also stamped them as the two out- standing hurlers in the Province today.

oasa

Future meetings between them will attract plenty interest and should it work out that they will oppose each other when all the chips are down and (he title at stake fans. and this is looking far into the future, could well witness s. mound duel on s. par with these in vogue in the 1920's when such stars as "Thunder" Doyle, Jimmy Kinsman, ‘Tommy McFarlane, “IfiftW McQuaid. "Biff" Howatt, Lou Campbell. to mention a few, were dishing them up from the pitching mound.

O O O O In Junior league circles the race has tightened up considerably in the past two weeks with the Kins- men showing the most improve- cnent climbirsg from far down in the cellar up to a tie with the second place Vics. So, as was being predicted by many of the fans the Ev McNeill-managed team who have been finalists for the past two years, winning the crown in 1947 were still very much in the running and cannot be discount- ed when playoff time rolls around and the City title is st. stake. O O I

The minor league are also well underway at the present time and fans interested will find the schedule in this issue. Players in charge of the various groups are bending every effort to help make the league a success and with the youngsters show- ing every .c0-operati0n these same efforts will not. prove in vain. O O O O

The diamond located in the east end of the City near the ap- proach to Hillsboro Bridge has been the cause of much favorable comment oi late. In bsd shape when work was started on it. it presented a tough jdb for those in charge but perseverance and in- wrest paid off and now the East end kids have s. smsrt field to play over. comparable to any of the smaller diamonds in the City.

Cheslnul ‘Shoe Tossers Win Competition

Continuing the series of com-

Old St..Pcters Boy. historic sits of early island settlers, will soon be the scene of s revival very welcome to s11 horsemen. St. Pet- ers’ Raceway. also historic for the memorable equine battles of the past, will open in August. Here, Lucky Lindy, Billy Cope, Mae Aubrey, Babe Aubrey, Jessica the Great, Acaciaville, and that grand old campaigner, Bingen Aubrey, with the Colonel at the ribbons, each in his class, together with many others, fought for suprem- acy. 1n one particularly memorable meet, weather inclemency nee". sitaled holding some classes over till the following day. That night the discussion at the stables was hectic. Good humor prevailed the next day. the race was success- ful, the best horses won, St. Pet- ers retained its status in the minds of horsemen as a. good place to go.

All this was a generation ago. and for tho information of the younger stratum of horsemen who have never been to this famous little track, we will briefly outline its location and history. Situated in a valley sheltered from the north by a hill dominating the most beautiful view in the Mari- times a half mile from the village, is St. Peters Raceway. In its ear- iier inception. the share-holders and directors included Albert Quigley, George Maclnnis, Daniel MacDonald, and others. There was a grand stand, Judges stand, and stables, all since demolished. The depression of the thirties included St. Peters’ race track in its casual- ties and until now it has exist- ed only in the memory oi the old- sters.

The new owners are Joseph Les- lie, William Leslie, and Albert Qulsley, of St. Peters, and Bern- ard Glynn of South Nadick, Mass- achusetts. Joseph Leslie is mana- ger. Compared with ordinary country tracks. the grand stand is large, and 1t is built to last. It has eighty blocks of reinforced cement sunk two feet in the ground for foundation. It is braced every way to withstand all possible stress and strain, even when its 1200 seals are filled to capacity. It is 136 feet long. and its total length in the rear is designed to provide space for serving refresh- ments. These booths are covered overhead, are attractive in sp- Deflrlnfie. and provide extra strength for the structure.

The purl-mutual stand in front provides sufficient space to ac- commodate s. large crowd of buy- ers. The pay-off booth is in an en- tirely different section, and will eliminate crowding. 0n the top of the grandstand is s well- finlshed booth which contains two separate compartments - one for radio broadcasting, and the other for photo-finish equipment. The judges stand, built along the us-

petitions that have been taking place in recent weeks, Chestnut Horseshoe Club shaded the Vics ‘Shoe Club in week-end matches. The winners rolled up a total of 400 points in their winning efforts against the Vics‘ 307.

Vics‘ representatives stoned somewhat for their defeat, how- ever, when they outscored the match winners in the matter of ringers, 90 to B4. Roy Bradley of the Vics was high point winner while he also teamed up with clubmate Keith Dalziel in tossing the most ringers, each accounting for 22 perfect tosses.

Most individual ringers in games of 30 points went to Ron- nie McDougall of the Chestnut Club with a total of eight.

Another inter- club competition will take place on Wednesday evening between members of Vics and Chestnut Clubs and all de- sirous of participating are asked to be on hand.

Kinsmen. K. oi c. Play Tonight

Those responsible for the work are to be commended omthcir efforts. O O O

h keeping with the tremendous interest in harness racing it ia now a definite fact that historic St. Peter's racing oval. the scene of many thrilling battles in former years will again be the scene of trotting and pacing duels. next month when it rejoins the island racing circuit.

. O O O O

Not in operation since the 50's and in a bad state of deterioration sportsmen in that centre started rebuilding plans s couple of years ago and today an even better rac- ing plant has arisen to take the place of the old one. St. Peter's races was always s lay-word in the days when it was booming and now that it is ready to begin op- erations once more it won't take long before even larger crowds than before will be flocking through its gates when race days roll around. Those responsibl for its rebirth are to be congratulated on the spiflldid Job they have sc- compllahcd.
