Many fans. and no doubt of- ficials too, are wondering just what is going to be the final

status of the newly formed Mari- time Major Hockey League by the time the 1951-63 season is ready to get underway. With the heads of Maritime Major hockey cir- cuits meeting earlier this season to talk over the situation, a seven- team circuit, em-bracing four en- tries from the Big Four and all three of the Cape Breton loop. seemed to be a sure thing. but since then two subsequent meet- ings have been held. and the pic- ture has changed. slightly.

At the second meeting all seven teams gave assurances that they would be in the loop and organ- izational work was carried out and the league took form with paper and pencil and a name, with the election of officers to be left to be done at a third meeting at Charlottetown. That meeting was held here last Saturday and said officers were elected. but only for a four-team setup with provision for the remainder to enter within a limited time. I O 0 Since that time, one of those teams expected to join at a later date, namely North Sydney Vic- torias. has informed the general sporting public ”that their hockey franchise is on sale for 31 to any- body who wanis it, and that they will not enter a team into any league this year." Thai is pretty definite, and now the league is down to six possible teams, pro- vided the others who say they will come in do, where do we go from there? 0 0 0

In Pennant Race Today

NEW YORK, July 11 - (AP) - Although the National League slugged out a victory in the 1951 major league All-Star game. the American circuit will bounce right back into the spotlight to- morrow when the pennant races are resumed. after a three-day in- iermlission.

The four clubs involved in a knockdown battle for the lead start off by battling one another.

Boston Red Sox, hottest team in either league for the last cou- ple of weeks. go into Chicago for a doubleheader opening a four- game series with the league-lead- ing Sox. At the same time New York Yankees. who have slipped to third, open a four-game set in Cleveland with a night game against the fourth-place Indians.

In the National League. Brook- lyn Dodgers, breezing along with an 81.5-game lead over New York Giants. open a long, home stand against the Western Clubs with a night game against the seventh- place Chicago Cubs. The Giants and Cardinals fight it out for sec- ond place.

So far this year Chicago has a 7-4 margin in games over Bos- ton. But three of Boston's four victories came in their last series in Boston as Red Sox began a drive that carried them to 13 vic- tories in 17 games, the last six in a row.

Yankees, who beat Indians eight times in ii attempts during the first half of the season, open 1 13-game western tour with

Losing the first: fall of the "tag match" to the two Bulls. Hughes and Balbo put on a scintillating performance in the second so that nearly brought down the house and gave the spectators one of the smoothest exhibitions of clever teamwork and rousing action that has been witnessed in the mat game here for some time. It also gave them the fall, that set. the stage for an even more rugged

display of mat mayhem in the final that finally went to Curry

and Montana. I O 0 -

Forum Manager Bill Brown. like the crowd. was more than pleased with the show the boys put on and plans to bring the four some mat- men back again for a return match in the near future. if suitable ar- rangements can be made. Bill says that Hughes and Balbo were not a little ruffled over losing the match

to Montana and Curry. and are more than eager for the return bout.

i-Anchors (And Siars Clash Here Tonight

The west End Anchors and the East End stars will close outgthe first section of the city Baseball League schedule here this evening when they clash at Memorial Field at 5:30.

Trailing in the third and fourth place positions behind the leading Rovers and Falcons, tonight's rivals can't change the final stand- ing at the end of the first section as far as the first two teams are concerned. But it can make a dif- ference between themselves.

Anchors hold a one-game bulge over the Stars. and a win can give them sole possession of third spot going into the second section, while a victory for stars will pull them up to a third-place tie with Fal- C0115.

Both will be difference tonight. and should produce a nip-and-tuck affair. Anchors only topped out stars 5-4 in their last meeting on June 19th so there isn't much to choose be- tween them.

College Students in Camp. Plan Series of Concerts

During the past: week about 25 College students. protege: of the St. Thomas Aquinas Society. were in summer camp at Egmont Bay. For several years Mr. Matt Gal- lant has generously given these young people the use of suitable buildings for the camp. and both he and Mrs. Gallant ,had done everything possible to make the students comfortable and happy.

In their various colleges these young men and women have pre- pared material for a series of con- certs which they intehded to give in various centres of the Province. During the past week many re- hearsals were held. and now the troupe feels that they have some- thing really worth-while to offer to the public. During the present week they have appeared at Mount Camel, Egmont Bay. Tignish and Bloomfield. where they were greet- ed with overflowing houses. They intend to be in Charlottetown on Friday night, at North Rustlco on Saturday night. and at Rustlcn on Sunday night. This is the first time tm a group of College stu- dents mpts such a tour of the Province. and no doubt they will meet with the success that such an undertaking deserves.
