Rarely if ever has a program of this sort worked up so much lil- terest. And it speaks well of the popularity of Billy Brown not only among the horsemen but also among the race loving fans.

Gaudet. Summerside short stop had six hits including two tlflples in six t/ries and Morris belted out three safeties one of which was a three beggar in five trips to m» plate. Taffy Carnegles spectacular catches of two flies in the sixth inning were the fielding gems of the contem. L. Gaudet turned in a better than average game at short field.

Pl-oddy Whslen's north - end Rovers failed in their task lo drop the third place Millionaires out of the League Playoff picture last night. The Northenders bowed to the league leading Anchors by a score of 4-0. Thus the West-end crow kept their winning ways of the league intact. The Anchors have lost but one game in the en- tire schedule.

In last night's game three un- earned runs in the opening inn- ing paved the way for the loser's downfall, The winners added an- other run 1n the second to make sure of the verdict. It was a pitch- ers duel for the remainder of the game as both hurlers, Charlie Ryan of the Anchors and Jackie Cairns of the Rovers baffled the hitters with their fast balls and sweeping curves.

Ryan, the winning pitcher. pitched a beautiful two hit ball game and Cairns almost matched the farmer's impressive victory as he allowed but five hits over the five and’a half inning game. Ryan struck-out three batters and hit one while Calms rwhiffed two and walked another player.

of the season as he hit a hard drive over Trainer's head that rolled all the way down the road in right field to give the pitcher- outfielder his home run. Only other extra bass hit of the game was "Sneakers" Mclennanh double in the first inning.

Only batters to solve the slants of Ryan's were Johnny Higson who rifled a single into centre field and "Buck" Whitlock who beat out an infield grounder.

The winners with two out put two runners on the bases and when l-fennessey dropped Math- eson's high Texas Leaguer_after he made a very long run from deep centre field, the Anchors got to the offerings q! Cairns for two more hits and scored three times. In the second inning Manliean hc-isted his home run to put an end to the scoring for the night.

There was no one hitter able to notch two hits of! the opposing moundsmen as they proved too much of an obstacle for the pow- erhouse hitters on both teams to overcome.

Whitlock and Aubrey Dolron provided the fielding gems of the garns as both turned in spectac- ular catches for their team. Doiron made two catches in left field.

The Charlottetdyvn All-Stars have met our boys irl three games this year and have won two and tied one. This does not look so good for us, but of course, it is the last laugh that is the prize chuckle of them all, so it is too early for u5 to grow pessimistic.

The married men of the Sum- merside Baseball Ifiosue Played the single men at the High School diamond Friday and defeated the fancy-free ball tossers by the score of 3 to 1. Although Lord Beaverbrook says that experience is just a special form of fatigue, the old-timers didn't seem too tired on this occasion, and their smoothness and cunning more than made up fc/l- the rip-roaring. up-and-at-‘em spirit of the boys who are still roaming the ranges unbranded. Three umpires, Jim- mie l-Iogan, Reg Phillips and Glennie DesRoches, played for the Benedicts and demonstrated that. in spite of what the fans ae say- ing, they are still able to keep their e-ye on the hall, Phillips was in his old position behind the plate, (He just. took one step ‘backwards when he retired and became an umpire), and did n good backstopping joh. Jimmie Hogan turned in a surprisingly efficient game at first base and DesRoches cavoriod in the outfield like a colt let out to pasture for the first time.

None of the regular umpires disputed any cg thc decisions of umpire Andy Gallant, probably ‘because they know what it is like to be in that kind of a. spot. Andy bellowed out his decisions like a sergeant-major on parade. and at times threatened to overrule the base umpires. Andy is at present in a state of single blessedness, but showed no disposition to favor the boys who can still ascend the stairs at 2 a.m. without taking off their shoes.
