And Pitches

Falcons To

6-5 Victory Over Stars

.R.oy "Buck" Whitiock's triple into centre field in the top of the seventh was the winning stroke that gave the Northwest Falcona I. close 6-5 verdict over the East End Stars at Memorial Field last night and broke up a three-way tie for second place in the City Baseball League race to put Fal- cons in sole possession just one game dawn on the league leading Northeast Rovers.

Whitlock's hitting power not only brought in the tying rlln but was the cause of him crossing tm plate himself with the winning counter to turn his own six-hit performance on the mound from a losing one into victory. Trailing Stars 4-5 going into the seventh, Buck lined a slzzler over the heads of the infield between second and short that went into centre for three sacks and brought in Joey Leclalr who got to base on an error by third baseman Maurice Williams. and came home him- self on an error by second base- man McKenzie.

The game was called after seven innings of play.

A winning hurler himself up until the fateful seventh, Lefty McAleer came through with a five- hitier but ended up the loser. Both pitchers struck-out five bat- ters but McAleer showed less con- trol than his arlversary. giving up six walks. some proving costly. against two for Whitlock.

Young Cliff Ready of Falcons and Charlie Ready of Stars swung the heavy bats of the game. botll collecting a triple and a. single in three trips to the plate. while two of the fielding gems of the game were pulled by Joey Leclalr. F31- con'a third baseman.

Both teams played loose ball at times. Falcons chalking up seven errors and stars five.

Officials for the game were as follows: - Umpires - Ev Toomb! (plate). Jack Kane and Leo Doyle (bases). '

Just about one year ago, Miss Henry was the cause of agreat deal of interest when she swam Charlottetown Harbor from Kep- poch to Rocky Point and return. negotlallng the heavy running three-tide current: with powerful strokes. to start her mounting list of firsts for Island swimmers. There was much rumor at that time that she planned to attempt the strait swim, but most felt it was too tough as project for any swimmer. a. nine-mile distance against strong changing currents.

But the Island nurse had other ideas. Remaining quiet and un- assuming over her swimming abil- ity. which she put to good use here during Festive Week by winning her share of the honors at the special swimming meet held at Victorll. Park. Evelyn made up her mind to try the strait swim. Accompanied by her father. stew- art Henry and her brother Edwin. she travelled to Borden by car on Sunday where she was transported to Cape Tormeniine in a motor ldaunch by George ceretti of Bor- en.

Without fanfare or publicity. she slipped into the water at war. mentino at 8:20 e. rs. and after nearly nine hours in the water. she touched the wharf at Borden at 5:16 p. in. hair. and hearty and completely unruffled. Her father and brother accompanied her in a punt and fed her fruit Juices and one or two small sandwiches at intervals. without her once touch- ing the boat. Carried off course

during the gruelling swim by strong tidal currents. it was estimated that Miss Henry

covered a distance of close to is miles, a foot that is not much short of the much publicised English Channel swims. Maybn that will be the next ltem'on her list. who knows. But whether she does or lloe.ul't Miss Henry is de- serving of much praise and con. grstulations for ha courage and swhnmlrlg ability.

After visits to Mcxeesport. Pa.. and Harrisburg Elks Club today. Jersey Joe will fly home lomorrow for a gala. reception flom some 100.000 Camden friends.

"I still can't believe " said Waloott modestly. "I think I'm the luckiest man in the world."

He continued: "I have a wonder- ful family and the greatest man- ager-Felix Bocchiccllio.

"Felix always preached to me every day in the world 'you're the greatest fight:-r'. Last night we convinced a lot of people."

The wheels already were turn- ing for the September rematch which may be held in New York, Pittsburgh. Philadelphia or At- lantic Clly.

Bcccllicchlo would prefer Atlan- ilc City in the new champions home Sl..i'IlF'.

"But It'll go anywll-ale Jimmy Norris (International Boxing Club president) wants it." he said. "We are signed exclusively with the International Boxing Club."

Added Bur-chicchlo:

"Charles deserves the right to the return like the contract says within 90 days. Joe Louis? We'd love to fight him again He's next after Charles.

"Then we'll go right down the line. Rocky Marciano and all the rest. We want to do the boxing game as much good as we can."

What about the knockout punch?

lvalcott said:

''It was a left hook that travell- ed about six or eight inches. First I felnted a jab to the body and then hooked the left.

"When I hit him I said (thank God. this is it.' When that punch landed I knew' it was the end."

Charles agreed that he never fought his own fight. "I didn't get going." he ex-

plained. "I don't know why. I ;-ust couldn't get together with nlyself."

The ex-champion had his lip stitched and carried a mark un- der his right eye. Walcott was unmarked.

"I never saw wllnt hit me." said Charles. "I caught a count of five and I remember trying to get up That was all."

The last time Charles was on the deck was in 1947 when Fllzle Fitzpatrick floored him for nine. Ezzy came back to win that bout.
