Calvert started for Washington but had to retire at the start of the fifth inlng. He developed a blister on the index flng-er of his pitching hand. He had a one- hitter up to that time.

Big Ed Robinson led the Senat- ors baiting attack. He hit a three- run homer in the first inning and added two singles.

THE GUARDIAN, FHARLUFTETOWN

As the result of a meeting held last evening, the Knights of Col- umbus Junior baseball team have been fortunate in acquiring the ser- vices of Charlie Ryan as coach for the forthcoming City Junior Base- ball League competitions. o o

» The meeting, which was held for the purpose cf getting the team to- gether for the coming season, was

held in the K of C Hail, and wasl presided over by the chairman of the baseball committee, Louis Butler, who is also manager of the team.

O O O The meeting wgs very largely at- tended by junior players who were members of last year's team as well as many new candidates for berths on the current year's squad, and was a very enthusiastic one, al- though members of the executive stated last night that they felt that the biggest feature of the meeting was Charlie Ryan's ac- ceptance to the position of coach for the team this year. o o o

Charlie, who is well known in baseball circles here, both as a player and a coach, supplied the guiding hand that piloted the Reece Junior baseball team to the City and Provincial Junior titles 1115i

their search for those titles.

Knowing that loose ends when the Reece Sqllflfil dropped out of theliunior league picture, the K. of C. committee were quick to seize the opportunity of enlisting his services for this season, which might be said here. as being a timely move on their part, because with Charlie at the helm you can bet your bottom dollar that the K. of C. You"!- sters will be a serious threat for lop honors to any twill l" llle league in the forthcoming season. The squad are planninB 0n Eel’ ting in their first practice session today. l O l

BRANDON, Man., May 11—(CP) —-Frank King, sharpshootlng cap- tain of Brandon Wheat Kings. is dubbedfLa$hlng Boy" by hockey fans in the est. But's he's no joke to Montreal Royals.

It was King who scored the win- ning goal for Wheat Kings in their 2-1 victory over the Montrealers last night in the sixth game of their best-of-seven Memorial Cup final. The Brandon captain's tally robbed Royals of a tie game that would have given Montreal its first Dominion junior hockey title.

Now boasting an eight-point total in the serles—mnde up of five goals and three assists-King has takan over the lead in the individual point-scoring race.

The position atop the scoring lad- der is not new to the big Brandon captain. He has been Wheat King's payoff man all along the Memorial Cup trail.

Sllll "will!!! only a tie to take the junior title east, Royals take on Brandon in the seventh game here Thursday night, The eastern champions lead the series three games to two with one tied.

Allil l1’ Klllg is up to his usually consistent form, Brandonites are confident Wheat‘ Kings will dead- lock the series. They maintain that

The mill" 908 in Brandon's front line did not become just a king for a day after last night's victory, he canwriie his own ticket in this Manitoba city. For it is due to his inspired leadership, say hi; 19am mates and fans, that Wheat Kings have advanced as mi- as they have. Playing his final year of Junior Cllmlletlflflh. the 187-pourld six-foot‘ centre says the series with Mont- real is "the toughest I've ever- play. ed in."

And everyone will concede him that polnt. Four of the first six games were decided by one goal; one by three goals. and another was deadlocked in overtlme_

The llkenble King, who always appears to’ be smiling on the ice whether his team is winning or not, 100k a long Jump into lunior hoc- key. l-Ie moved straight from mid. get ranks in his native Toronto to the Junior Scpttish League where he played for Kirkcaldy.

During his 194M’! season his playing attracted the attention of a scout for Cleveland Barons of the American League. He was signed to a "C" form and shifted to Bran- don, a Cleveland fnrm club, for the next season. '

After a mediocre season last year King showed excellent promise during the current year and was named Wheat Kings captain, m". ing the regular Manitoba Junior Hockey League schedule, which Brandon won handily, he placed sixth in the individual scoring race with 28 goals and 15 assists for 43 points. He continued his hot pace in playoffs with Port Arthur Bruins and Calgary Buffaloes.

Tagged "Laughing Boy" by Win- nlpeg sports writers, King explains that, despite appearances, he really is not laughing during a game, but |breathlng through his mouth.

A broken nose has made ordinarv breathing difficulty, he said, and consequently "I'm going nround with my mouth wide open while I'm skating .. .. .I wish I could laugh off some of the heavy checks that are thrown at me."

Sport Echoes From Prince County

the brink of oblivion the Sumner- sido Town League got up of: the floor Tuesday night and looks right now as if there is plenty ol life in the old boy yet. 'I\he decis- ion of the flower of our older Ilali players to stay out of the League this year and play for the Curran d; Briggs nine,whlch is entered in the Maritime Border League, was a stasstrlns wallop but the League has weathered the blow and is 100K111! forward to a successful season. Herb Schurman, last year‘; President, was persuaded to take up the reins again, which Herb did with great reluctance and only af- ter he had canvassed most of the available material lor such a posit- ion ln the town. We congratulate Herb, who rather than see the League cease lo function because of lnalbillty to secure an official head. went back to the chair he had vacated eanlier in the spring. With D.O. Stewart as vice-president and Gerald Sheen as secretary- treasurer, the League is well- fortified in its leaders and should get away to another banner year.

The l-‘t C.A.F. representatives stated that it was probable that they would have two teams enter- ed in the League ii they did not join the Maritime Border League and play in Senior B company, and 111 My event one team would like- ly take part in the local baseball circuit The juniors, backed by Sheen 6s Molrnnls, who sponsored the Juvenile hockey tealm last year, will be another entry, and Hannah's will sponsor an intermediate team with Joe Bernard and Windy Steele probably a1 the helm. This means the Summerside Baseball League will have at least three and possibly four teams in oper- utlOll this year.

Something else which augurs success for baseball in Buirrtmerslde this season was the evident desire on the pant of the executive of the Curran & Briggs ball club and the Su-mmerside Town League to "play ball" with each other. A little dif- ficulty arose with regard to the time for use of the Hlzh School diamond but there was a very ap- parent desire for co-operation, and we Predict that all details will be straightened out amicably.

There will be a second meeting of the Maritime Border League executive at Amherst next Sunday, and it is probable the question of our local R C.A.F.'s entry into the lelgue will be decided at this meeting, which decision will in its turn solve some of the questions now before the local league.
