Sparring in the centre of the ring, Peterson threw an overhand right.

Then the flare-up broke as punches wer!’ being fiung ill over the 20-foot space. With order restored Referee Danny llcCormac awarded the fight to P;;::2n on a foul.

The decision was in contradict- ‘.on lo the boxing rules that state plainly that if a second climbs into the ring anytime during the scrap or before a decision is giv- en the fight automatically is s. irarried to the other competitor.

But if the fans were disap- pointed in the sudden, unexpected ending to the main event they saw Bud Lund and Tiger Steele put up one of the most clever boxing exhibitions of the season in the six-round semi-final. Both maslers at defence. at times they stood toe to toe to slug it out with matters about even.

At times Lund looked to be on his way to a clear cut decision but Steele, surprising everybody by his ability, came on again to square matters and the decision going to Lund was a very,'very close one all the way.

Another event that will create a lot of interest in Summerside will be staging of the sixth game ,of the Island intermediate baseball playdowns. It will be the decisive encounter with the winners going on into the Maritime playdowns and it ls likely that the two even- ly matched squads will enter the game as even bets to capture the beautiful Smallmans 'I‘rophy that is up for competition.

Speaking of the baseball season and Jackie Robinson of the Brooklyn Dodgers in particular. Baz O'Mearn, noted columnist of the Montreal Star has the follow- ing- timely observations:

I I I

"Baseball this season came up with its usual quota of outstand- ing rookies and the best of them all in this department is Jackie Robinson, who hurdled apparently insurmountable barriers to reach stardom.

I I I "Five months ago, in the chill dampness of April. the sepia

speedster faced a cri s which was both his and baseba‘ 1's. He was the first negro to play in the ma- jor leagues and even on his own club there was a forceful animos- ity. ‘ I I I

"You could feel the bitterness directed toward him as he stood in a lonesome corner of the Brooklyn clubhouse. ivaidng pat- fontly until all the players were out of the showers. His clothes were heaped on a table-for Jack Roosevelt Robinson hadn't on the first“ day of the season yet been accorded the courtesy bf a locker.

“This is a break for my peo- ple,’ he said quietly. ‘1 won't. let them down‘. The‘ former U.C.T.i.A. football star didn't.‘

“It had only been two days be-

i fore the season opened that. the ‘ Dodger management tossed him a

first basem mitt and told him

he prepped for the majors. he had been consecutively a shortstop,

"So he looked awkward around the bag. Prom pivoting on the double play and then handling the ‘hot corner‘ he suddenly was on the receiving end. The tricks at first were. unexplained and he had to learn them on his own.

"But Robinson. minus experi- ence which- is counted so neces- sary under the big top. topped into his own personal hot spot and asked no ‘favors from anyone.

"Nlturally there was resentment against him. And any number of pitchers dusted him of! with their-

HALIFAX, Sept. 22 - Halifax Arrows defeated Truro Bearcats 2-1 here today to win their fourth straight playoff match against the 1946 Nova Scotia baseball cham- pions and the provincial title.

The bat of centrefielder Joe Breen drove across the winning run, breaking a seventh inning deadlock and earning the Halifax squad the right to meet Marys-

Hero in the Truro cause was their lo-year-old righ hander, Hil- ton Boss who went r seven in- nlngs with a no-hlt, no-run game on the board. l

In that inning three straight Halifax blngles started by Broth- er MacDonald and’ followed by Buddy Condy and Joe Breen along with a costly two-base error by Truro rightfielder Lou Medynskl. changed the entire complexion of the game and the Halifax losing issue suddenly became a winning one. '

St. Louis Cardinals, were defeated by Chicago Cubs 6-3 in the night game of a. day-night doubleheader, played before 8,000 shivering fans. In iihe clay game St. Louis whipped Chicago 4-2.

The defeat dropped the 1946 champions 7 1-2 games behind the idle league leaders, a deficit they will be unable to wipe out by the time the season closes Sunday. The Dodgers had an off day today. gThe Dodgers thus emulated their world series rivals, New York Yankees, i_n clinching the pennant
