The annual Prince Edward Is- land Rifle Match which concluded yesterday has been termed most successful by those who have been connected with the Prize Meet for years. Almost 60 contestants com- peted in the four day meet. which was held under almost perfect wea- ther conditions. The success oi the meet can be judged by the scores which were invariably good. . . .

A special word of congratulations should be made to Corporal Beatty of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The Corporal, who has won a lot of fame as s. marskman in the past, proved that he is still one of the most capable shots in Eastern Canada. A word of thanks is also due to Lt. Col. W.J. MacDonald, who kept the scores of the matches in such an effic- ient. manner. 0 . .

Fans may yet have an oppor- tunity of watching some baseball

be the best part of a month before they are installed and by that timei it may be a bit cool for watching evening ball but at any rate instal- lation of the long awaited and much talked about lighting system is scheduled to commence today. The surveyors from the Maritime Electric were looking over the pro- posliioii at the Park yesterday afternoon preparatory to beginning work this morning. . . . In connection with the Park and the baseball game between the Juniors and Intermediates on Wednesday eveniniz a word of praise is due to Earl "Diver" Riggs for the splendid condition of the diamond. Earl spent five hours work on the diamond the day of the game. By game-time the dia- mond was as smooth as a kitchen table with the base lines and bat- ters boxes being clearly and well marked. This. no doubt, accounted in part for some of the top notch ball which was witnessed by the fans. a - .

Freddy MacCabes' Intermediates. who bowed out of the Island Lea- gue plcture Wednesday evening, may be playing here Sunday after- noon agalnst the Shearwater Navy team. Negotiations are underway with the Shearwater team for a game so that the Intermediates may keep ti trim for the Island intermediate playdowna which will he commencing as soon as the Is- land League finals are completed. To prepare for Sunday's game coach Maccabe has called for a practise t.hLs evening at Memorial Field at 5:30.

.

Baseball has. been.ciilled by some, and possibly rightly so. the great- esi. game tnhat was ever invented. When Bill O'Connor. the Brodklyh Dodgers scout. was here last spring. he claimed that the writer of the Biblical book "Genesis" had base- ball in mind. The opening words of this book are "In the Beginning” and O'Connor claimed the writer really meant "In the big inning." At. any rate big innings certainly play quite a part in the game as they did in Wednesday's game here be- tween the two local teams.

. . .

The Juniors had their big inning in the sixth when they scored the three runs that won the ball game. "Red" I-lowiitt of the Intermediates started it play in the sixth with the bases loaded that might. have sav- ed the game for the Intermediates. Joe Coyle of the Juniors was on second at the time and "Duck" Maclgod on third. I-lowatt raced in from centrefield to second base and pitcher Merlin Mackenzie who had the ball. started the run-down. Had Miicxenzie thrown the ball to How- sit. Ooyle would have been forced to third and Maclieod forced to run home. In the run-down Mac- Leod would certainly have been caught for the second out. Things did not work however as some play- er called time and this ended pro- ceedings. With two out the Inter- mediates coiild have played tire batter straight away and probably have gotinn out of the inning with- out any runs scoring.

Another "lf" that has been cross- ing our mind since the game was played concerns that relay by which Brian Lewis and ”Duck' Mac!-cod caught neggie Hughes

triple in the seventh. Reggie drove in two runs witin his doubl! and was probably Justified in trying for the triple. However Lewis, Mac. mod and Pineau combined on a nice effort to score the out with Macbcod making it perfect throw to third base. I-isd Reg made third safely there is no telling what may have happened. There would only have been one out and the rally would still be on. As it was the in- termediates had to start all over again with the bases loaded and

Large Crowd Attends Wrestling Card Here

Stave "Crusher" Casey of Bos- ton, Mass. is. cauliflower-cared vcberan of many a. wrestling match last night added another victory to his string when he pinned the well-built. Paul Sweeney's should- ers to the mat. at. the five minute and 20 second mark of the third and final fall.

Casey won the first fall with 5 leg lock and lost the second fall when referee Al Gulre of Mont- real disqualified him.

A large crowd of fans sat in on the season's first; wrestling match at the Forum. The match feat- ured the women wrestlers, Miss Paddy Page of Scagus. Mass, and Miss Terry Shannon of Boston, with Miss Page winning after her opponent. was disqualified.

240-lb. Charlie Roache of Hal- ifax was awarded the preliminary match after his opponent 265 lb. Stan Staslask was disqualified for attacking the referee. Staslask had thrown Roache out of the ring and had the match won when he in- terfered with the referees duties.

The two met. again on the way to the dressing room as Roache attempted to get even. Following ii slugfest which brought the crowd out of their seats, the referee sep- arated the two men.

Ralph Morris of Halifax de- feated Billy Taylor of Armdale. N. 5.. in a crowd pleasing curtain raiser. Taylor weighing 1'13 against for Morris was the pick of the crowd and Morris's win was an unpopular one.

Miss Terry Shannon lost her match after she had battered her lighter opponent. Miss Page, around the ring for the best. part of 20 minutes.

Following a series of hair pulling, kicking and blocking tactics Miss Shannon downed Miss Page in mid-ring. She -had the lighter girl's shoulders on the mat but lost out as she began kicking the referee at the same time yellini: charges of biting. She was dis- qualified and Miss Shannon's vic- tory was warmly applauded. "Crusher" Casey and Paul Sweeney presented athletic looking frames as they entered the ring for the main bout.

Briiish Blame 1 Lack of Meat . For Poor Showing

LONDON, July 31-(CF)-Brib oiis, in a lively national post-moi" tcm, are blaming their Olympic shellacking on a lack of meat. The meat riition now is little more than n shelling's worlh'per person weekly.

Coaches, sports columnists, folks who write letters to the editor. and pub philosophers join. in lam- basling the meat shortage for Britain's inability to get a gold medal at. Helsinki. So far, the l.'. S. has 30 and Russia 22. Supplementing a flood of letters to editors calling for "more gool red meat" for Britain's athletes, one columnist quoted the British rowing roach, Jack BL-resford. as saying: "You can't train athletes on tea and toast. Until we get more meat we can't expect more international victories."

The British canoe competitor, Francis Prout, counselled his fel- low Olympic allilcics to trickle plenty of horse meat-unrationed in Britain.

He's been eating it he said.

The cross-country coach. Johnnie Johnston. told his crest-fallen coni- pntriots "Shortage of a full and regular meat diet. is one of the main causes of our deficiencies." Cracked a columnist: "Hurry Champion, the old-time comedian. gave us the song 'Bolled Beef and Carrots! But now it seems we need boiled beef and carrots to give us a champion."

Said one letter to an editor: "Lack of adequate meatlikc foods for athletes in training is a con- tributory cause for persisting hu- miliating international eclipse, one of which we have just under- gone. One. gets tired of reading inicrminably of how good we were in defeat."
