THE GUARDIAN, CHARLOTTETOWN

Judging from

recent reports from the Western Capital, the Curran and Briggs baseball team, this year's Provincial intermediate champions, are fighting the biggest battle of the season, against time, and are gradually losing ground 811 the WHY in playing strength. while waiting for the Mainland leagues to declare their champions and launch the Maritime playoffs

on their way. o

Since Winning the title over the Abbies two weeks ago last Wed- nesday, the C. and B. boys have been cooling their heels with in- activity While waiting for the play- off dates to be announced for Maritime competition, and so far have lost the services of two of their star players, centre fielder Allan Stewart and left fielder Gor- die MacKay, who have both re- turned to their college studies, and are now threatened with an- other valuable loss in the person of third baseman Les Gaudet, who also has to return to College in a few days.

O

Not only has this waiting around and killing time caused the loss of three valuable players on their roster, but it also tends to have a demoralizing effect on the whole team who are bound to become stale with inactivity.

O O O O

But it always seems to be the same story where Island teams are concerned in Maritime play, not only in baseball, but in hockey as well, when local teams have to wait for the mainland at playoff time, and usually when it does come along. are compelled to rush through s. hectic series at the last minute to meet some playoff dead- lino with hardly time to catch their breath between playing and travelling.

It seems a shame that such is the case, but there seems to be little can be done about it, as most of the governing bodies that regulat these things are on the other e of the water, and the "Islanders" must content them- selves with waiting while the maininnders roll along in their own sweet time about getting around to the playoffs.

O O O

With the month of September gradually drawing to a close to make way for the real fnll weather of October, which means football weather, many of the "pigskin paraders" are starting to get into the spirit of things and are turn- ing out to get in shape for the big tussies that are ahead of them this season.

O O ' O The wearers of red and white at Saint Dunstan's University have been turning out regularly since they returned to their studies at the "college on the hill" and have many of the old boys back in uni- form as well as many new, likely looking prospects for the open- ing of their intercollegiate series with U. N. B. and Mount A., which is the forerunner to the Maritime title clashes. O I I

The Prince of Wales College Welshmen, under coach Gordon Bennett, have also been out boot- ing the ball around for the past week or so to get some of the old hands back in shape again and break in some of the newer candi- dates for this year's squad which will be again opposing the second line S. D. U. team for intermed- iate intercollegiate honors that al- ways produces plenty’ of fireworks and close competition;

Although there have been no of- ficial releases yet as to when the various football schedules will get underway, it is believed that the N. B.-P.E.I. series, which will be home and home affairs between S. D. U., U.N.B. and Mt. A. will likely get rolling within the next week or so, "while it is expected that the intermediates will not be long behind them in launching their gridiron battles.

Sport Echoes From Prince Bounty

On account cf a bit of jumbled type or a. line missing or something of the sort. we were presented as having a terrific argument with ourselves in one of the last “Echoes? We wanted to say the following: "We don't think Sum- merside should have lost the game because they refused to play after six o'clock; they did, however, lose the game because after what was equivalent to eight innings of play they were five runs behind the Knights." We hope this clears up the matter and that no one will think We have a dual personality.

O O O

The melancholy days have just checked in their baggage and still there is no play-off games in sight for the idle Curran & Briggs base- ball team. The C dz B cluib has lost two of their most valuable players, Gordie MacKay and Alan Stewart, having gone to college. and it is about to lose another of its aces, Les Gaudet departing for McGill in a few days. Thus, it. looks as if the Island champions will go into the Marithne finals a badly crippled ball club. and all because the mainland baseball authorities forget they are considerably north of the Big League centres and per- sist in playing ball as late as they do in the big time. -

The R..C.A.F. Hurricanes and Fliers are dishing up some fairly smart softball mixed with rather glaring miscues as they battle it out for the softball championship of Sumimerside. The Hurricanes ‘led the regular league schedule but are now trailing the Fliers no games to two. One more victory for the Fliers will give them the championship. The Hurricanes’ troubles seem to be caused by the fact that their ace pitcher. Lamourieux. who kept them on the top of the heap all year. has not been available for pitching duties during the final play-offs.

‘Those Pendergast boys from Kensington are not lightning on the loose in the ring, but when they tag an opponent the target quite often gets up off the floor wearing a. glassy look. Their punches seem to lack snap. they don't appear to ,be ‘hurting but ask some of the boys who have been on the receiv- ing end.

Basketball is beginning to be a topic of conversation among the fellows who play this game. That's as far as it's gone as yct but it won't be long now before the boys will be shooting for the baskets again.
