i MIDG ET GAME

In the Midget game Cook was the winning pitcher for Summer- aide when he hurled a four-hit, one run game for his team, while Carson of Parkdale was the los- ing pitcher, allowing six hits and seven runs. The winners garner- ed two runs in the second innings and made their big rally in the sixth when they pushed across their other four runs. Parkdale ceded their lone tally of the games in the third innings. Sum- mersidoq playing really smart ball all the way never had one error chalked up against them and were never in danger all through the encounter. while the locals had four errors scored against them. The game was nevertheless a well played encounter, and although the Summerside team showed their superiority. the locals came up with a good performance,

BANTAI)! GAME

\

The Bantam contest saw the Summerside team take an early 2-0 lead in the first innings and to come back with an even stronger rally in the first of‘ the second to make it the biggest in- nings of the game when they add. ed four more to their total be- fore the side was retired to run their count to six. But the locals

also got into the scoring in the last of the second to score twice and cut down the winners lead to four runs. ,and ‘ "‘ their opponents scoreless in' the top of the third came back to push another run across tire plate themselves to chop another run off the Sununerside lead.

The next four innings saw a really nip and tuck struggle. with both teams playing airtight ball which saw no change in the scor- ing at the end of the sixth in- nings. 1t was in the top of the final innings that the Summer- side boys broke into the scor- ing again to bring in two more runs. and holding their oppon- ents scoreless in the same frame, walked off the champions by an 8-3 count.

Gallant of Summerslde was the winning pitcher while MacLeod was on the mound for the losers, with both boys turning in nice hurling performances. Sonier, centre fielder for Summerside was outstanding for his fielding per- formance, making some really dif- ficult catches.

Wei-i. the big question as to whether or not an All Star team from the Junior Baseball League could take the measure of the In- ter-mediate ball players. was de- cided conclusively at Memorial Field yesterday afternoon when the Intenmediate Abbies, runners-up for this year's Island title, took an easy 8-1 victory over the All Stars behind the smooth pitching

MacAlcer, who came up with a smart three-hit performance.

The Abbies proved themselves to be definite masters of the situ- ation despite the hard-working ef- forts of the Juniors. when they pounded Jack "Spy” Rudy's offer- ings for nine solid hins and come up with airtight performances in their fielding to have only one er- ror chalked up against thorn. while the All Stars, over anxious to keep their opponents in check, committ- ed six errors which cost them runs on almost every instance.

Although it was natural enough that the Intermediates were the ultimate winners due to their wid- er experience in (he game, they didn't make quite as close a show- ing as many expected. this column included, when probably due more to over anxiousness than anything else. they lost most. oi their op- portunities to score. when after getting on base. were picked off time and time again at various stages around the circuit. In most instances it was a case of trying to steal s base when their hitting power failed to put them around and the baserunners had their ef- fonts nipped in the bud by the smooth infield work of the Ab- bies. .

However, the kids were game all the way and never quit. trying, and at times nearly made their efforts count, despite the fact that they were out. manoeuverecl by the more polished play of their opponents. t t .

This column extends its congrat- ulations to those two smart little ball clubs from the Western Cap- ital. the Sumtnerside Kinsmen Mid- gets and Bantams who came through with colors flying Satur- day to capture the Provincial titles in both divisions over their ioca‘. rivals. the Parkdale Midgets and the East End Bantams. City title- lsts.

Both coming through with top notch performances since the play- offs opened at Suminerside a week ago Saturday, when they both took the first two opening games in theh- respective best of five series. the Western kids made it a clean sweep here Saturday, when they added the third games also to their string of victories to take the championships in straight game performances. . O 0 I

The town of Summerslda is cer- tainly doing itself proud this see- son in its baseball endeavour. as this makes (he third trophy they have, captured so far this year, having also added the Island ‘Phy- sical Fitness silverware to their collection lost Wednesday in the Intentnecliate division when the Curran and Briggs nine downed the Alfoies in the fifth and deciding game ol’ the playoffs.

a . -

Whether oi- not they will be able to add the Provincial Junior trophy to their collection when the play- offs get underway sometime this week. is still to be decided. but if they do it will be practically a clean sweep for the Western Cap- ital tn Island baseball endeavour. To do this. however. they are cer- tainly going to have their work cut. out for them, as they are go- lng to be coming up against n top- flight aggregation junior leaguers in the form of Charley Ryan's Knights of Columbus squad. this year's City champions.

Spectacular Racing

Witnessed In Final Saturday Night Program

Winding up in a blaze of racing glory the final Saturday night's harness racing program for the season was held on Saturday night and as was the case in the first meeting lield back on June 17th the trotters and pacers cli- maxed their programs with just as good a racing as _has been witnessed here all season long.

A good-sized crowd of fans who braved the chilly, threatening wea- ther snw the warmest kind of rac- ing as close breath-taking fin- ishes, hard driving duels in the last quarter mile tn the wire and upsets galore dotted a card that roved more than u fitting climax to these now immensely popular night racing programs.

Vcila Ln Vella and Mary Merk were the only double winners on the card with the other six dashes going to Valley Long, Carl Aubrey. Luslicla, Baron, Miss Knox and Billy McVey. .

The fans got their first taste of the upsets that were to come when Valley Long went away like lightning to make every post o winning one over a field of five starters but there was great hattling for the other positions ns Mayme Axworthy came first in the stretch to nip Marjorie Budlong for second with Romeo and Bob Canuck finishing in that order.

Carl Aubrey showed great pac- ing ability as he added to the up- sets in the very next event. Just Brenda led the field away but made a slight break that saw Calu- met Onward tnke over but then Carl started his move. At the quarter driver Sammy Kennedy had him up in the second slnt and at the half he took over com- mand. Going up the backstretch Just Brenda went to a drive and at the top of the stretch was blanketed with Carl but in the race to the wire Carl had just s little bit too much for the Seaman- driven Just Brenda.

A field of six trotters came out for the third and seventh events and in both trips the fans saw spectacular racing all the way. Lusticia took them away for the first mile and stayed on top nil the way as driver Austin Tierney. cool as ice kept his mare in front from the fast. closing pack in the great duel from the seven-eighths pole home.

But the picture changed in the second mile they went. Buddy Budlong took them nvray with Lusticia making a long bid and not quite making it; ct the three quarters the field were as thick as flies around molasses and in the terrific battle to the wire it was Baron coming like lightning in the last few yards that copped the heat from the game Buddy Budlong with Bonnie Dale just inches behind.

Two Fast Miles

Vella La Vella gave two more magnificent pacing performances in heading the field both trips in the fourth and eighth events as she paced miles in 2:10 and 2:09 3-5. In ‘the first mile Lock Hanover challenged her all the way to the bnckstretch before dropping back; then from there cn Ike Morcslde took Worthy Ermine into the thick of things but just wasn't quite able to make the grade. The second mile was much the same. Lock Hanover took over from Josediile Hoosier to lead right around to the backstreich; Mc- Kylo Cash came through with a daullng burst of speed that took him up into contention but in the final part of the mile Vella made her move to go to front; she was followed hy Worthy Ermine and the race to the wire was between the pair of them with Vella again beating off the challenge of the Worthy Ermine mare.

Mary Merk in chalking up her double win raced from behind on both occasions. She took over the lead at the half the first trip to shake off Quick Llck's closing rush and in the final mile ‘ to get to the front half way down the stretch to beat out Qlllclf

Lick and Billy Conn who finish- ed like n team with the former getting the nod.

There was plenty of excitement contained in the number six and ten events. In the first mile fans witnessed one of the closest fin- isheg of the season between Ten- nessee Sue and Miss Knox. So close was it that the picture show- ed Miss Knox ahead by the tip of her nose over Tennessee Sue and Miss Knox’s victory climaxed a sensational drive from far back that carried her to the front.

Then Billy McVey. tearing to the front in the tenth and final event paced a storm all the way to make every post a winning one as hc turned back tho challenges thrown at him from the top of the stretch home. Tennessee Sue was again second with Miss Knox third, Col- len Adam fourth, Wait N‘See fifth and Jessie Direct 2nd sixth.
