Minlinigash IIfIyBIS ifs. Sea Sow Pond

The Mimlrilgash Royals downed the Sea cow Pond team 16-6 on the latter's home diamond Sunday to tie it up with one game each for the Tignish Legion League Iro- phy.

The Royals, badly burned from dropping the first game on this home diamond by e close ll-i0 score came back and determlnedly trounced the Sea Cow Pond teem to force a. third and final game to be played Sunday on the Tignish diamond

Both teams turned in a good brand of baseball and satisfied their supporters with smart run- ning catches and difficult “hot ones" to rob batters of safe hits. The Royals were very steady in the field while Sea. Cow Pond were quite shaky at times and allowed some well unearned runs to cross the plate to make it easy going for the Royals.

The Royals opened the scoring in their half of the fourth by pushing across four runs and re- peating the count. in the fifth. Sea. 00w Pond finally scored two runs in the sixth and repeated the count in the seventh and eighth. The Royals rapidly losing ground started putting on pressure and timely errors allowed them to score three more in the eighth end five in the ninth to make the final score read 16-8.

Vincent Ellsworth, fast ball hurl- er for the Royals was outstanding in his victory and held See Cow Pond to s few scattered hits. Mex Mclnnis pitched very good ball for Sea. Cow Pond but lack of support allowed some sure outs to go for safe hits and easy runs.

The father and son battery for Sea Cow Pond was one of the highlights of the game and has stirred up a lot of interest. Rod- ney McInnis catches for his fath- er Mex and though there is a vest span in sge they make it up in ability. This is very unusual in

baseball and as far as we know the only combination of this kind

By Joe Refohler

. Sept. 2’! —(A.P> - One game Ln front and five to play, the pennant-starved Cleve- land Indians, from owner Bill Veeck, flee-president Hank Green- berg and manager Lou Boud-reflll down. were confident today that the Tribe would wln the Ameri- can League pennant.

"We'll win," said Veeok. "We'll win because we have the best teem in the Inague."

"We'll win," said Greenlberg. “We'll win because we have the best pitching staff in the League."

"We'll win," said Boudreau. "We'll win because we have Bob Feller.’

"We'll win," echoed Satchel Paige. "We'll Mn ‘cause we lust ain't gonna lose no more."

Alone in first place for the first time since Aug. 25- ilie Ind- ians were all set for their final five games of the season. all at home. The Chicago White Sox are here for games tomorrow night and Wednesday. Thursday I8 9n open date, and next Friday, Sat- “may and slmdey afternoons, the Detroit Tigers invade Muni- clpal Stadium to close out the regulation schedule.

Sunday's results. which put the Tribe a full game up on the Bos- ton Red Sox and New York Yankees, meant a hasty revision in Boudreaus pitching plans for the remaining games. .

With the full knowluige that the Indians can't lose the pennant now if they don't lose another game, Lou has decided to "shoot the works."

"Gene Bearden will work to- morrow night against the White Box," he said. "But instead 01 using Bob Lemon we'll go along with Feller. Right now Bob is the most effective member of the staff.

"Lemon will be in the bullpen Tuesday and Wednesday. ready for action at a moment's notice. And he'll start Friday. If we still haven't clinched the pennant af- ter that game. it will be Bear- den Saturday and Feller Sunday."

Sport Echoes From Prince County

The Prince Edward Island In- termediate bnseball championship is ours for the second year in a row. Charlie Hogan's All-Stars won the best-of-five series three games to one. The scores: First game at Summerside: Charlotte- town 7, Summerside 3. Second game at Charlottetown: Summer- side 3. Charlottetown 2. Third game at Summerside: Summer- side 5, Charlottetown 4. Fourth game at Charlottetown: Summer- side 2, Charlottetown O, (eleven innings.)

o o o

The last game in Charlottetown was pronounced by many fans us the best they had witnessed this year. The two teams went fen full innings without scoring a run. Then because of two errors by Charlottetownks cruck infield the Prince County boys scored two runs in the eleventh and the Cap- ital City boys weren't able to match them in their half. In the last three games Summerside scor- ed vital runs, twice in the ninth and once in the eleventh, but in two of the three occasions, the winning counters were presented to our boys by Charlottetown mis- CUES.

. o . 0

The only game that wasn't close wus the one Charlottetown won. The three in which Summerside came out on top were bitterly- fought battles with the breaks de- ciding each game. Of course, the llbility of a team to come through tense situations without cracking up is the earmark of champions, and the Hoganlies have shown that quality‘wlthout any doubt.

I l O

Lefty Mclileer certainly didn't deserve to lose that ball game. The slender southpaw gave the win- ners just three hits. one of these an infield single in eleven innings, iind not one safety wus chalked up off his delivery after the fifth inn- ing. True. his miiies played spark- ling ball behind him until the fatal crack-up in the eleventh, but Letfys hurling would have won nine out of ten ordinary ball games.

e e o .

Jllst lo show you how close the affair was, if Bill Allan's peg from centre field to the plate in the first inning Il:idn't come In with a perfect bounce to Schurman, or if Schurmnn hud musscd up the throw and flliled to tag Higson at the plate, the game would have been Churlottctowns That run would have been enough to win the bull game, as there were no runs scored in the regulation nine

innings. l l l I

Joe Bernard gets credit for all three victories for Summerside. Joe allowed eight hits in that last game, hut pitched a masterful game nevertheless. It is not hits, so much as bunched hits, that win ball gnmcs. After the first inning when Bernard gave up two hits. and Charlottetown almost scored. he did not allow more than one hit in any inning. He allowed one hit in each of the third, sixth, sev- enth, eighth, tenth and eleventh innings. He didn't issue a walk during the game, so that, as long as the boys played ball behind him, land, believe us, they did, there wasn't much chance for Charlottetown to get all around the bases. Joe deserved his shut- out ail right.

.

Hank Landry. pint-sized short- stop of the Island champions, started the double play the: ended the ball game. Hank played error- less ball. The only "below par" play he hnd was when In attempt- ing to complete another double play in an earlier inning, he threw low to Grlidy at first, which does not constitute an error under the rules unless an extra base is gain- ed because of the bad throw. Les Gnudet. Syl Bernard. and Jimmie Grady, the rest. of the infield, also put up a fine game. and shaded the smooth city infield for the first time this year.

O O I

I-lcnry'Gsllnnt did not get e hit when he went in to bat for Bsyne in the eleventh but his speed on the paths may have contributed to the Charlottetown error. Henry took out for the first sack like the Dui-sngo Kid closing in on the vili. aim pursuing the stage coach. and a runner blazing down to first in a. hurry has an unsettling effect on the fielders who are trying to get him out.

Big Four, Cape Breton League Schedule Unlikely

SYDNEY. N. 8.. Sept. 21 -(CP) _. Plans for an interlocking schedule between the Cape Breton Hockey league and the Maritime senior Hockey League will be ditched unless something unex- pected is offered, if. was learned there tonight.

Cape Breton clubs say that there is more to it. than the report that Saint John Beavers hold the key to the proposed interlocking schedule. Moncton Hawks, Halifax St,_ Mary's and Dartmouth Ar- rows were only agreeable to l schedule which gave them an ed- vantage and forced the Cape Breton teams to go through a suicide schedule.

Meanwhile, officials of the Syd- ney Millionaires, defending Meri- tlme champions. were not impress- ed with a Monet/on Hawks an- nouncement that netrninder Albert Tomeri had been signed. Tomari.

a late comer with North Sydney Victories in last year's C.B.H.L.. was brilliant in spots against Sydney Millionaires.

But Sydney officials claim

Tomari could not catch on in the C-ape Breton loop this year and Monctoil is off on the wrong foot to regain the Allan Cup.

Ii. is also reported here that Mike Fitzgerald who played for- ward with Sydney last year would be returning to Saint Jolln Beav- ers. Fitzgerald played with Beav- ers before coming to Sydney to teach school. Another report has Jimmy Gray, fast-skating winger with Halifax "rescents last year, heading for Moiicton.

Eddie Etrauti. the losing pitcher gave up only six hits to the Royals. Both huriers went the dis- taiicc.

Sam Jethroe, Montreal centre- fleider. was credited with knock- ing ln both Royal runs.
