There are a total of fifteen standard senior events scheduled ranging from the lw-yard dash down to the gruelling six mile run. Included in the above will be the mile relay which should hold add- ed interest for in three meetings this year the Abegweit mile relay have yet to taste defeat and they will be out looking for their fourth win and in addition will be seeking the team title, the latter some- thing that has evaded them by small fractions so far this season.

Helfn and Mat-stint; Hetki and THE GUARDIAN, CHARLOTTETOWN PAGE SEX Charlie Ryan's Junior Knights of Columbus squads 16-4 drubbing over the Charlottetown Kinsmen at Memorial Field Sunday puts the smooth working Knights in a handy two and one half game lead over their nearest competitors the Vlctorias for. top honors in the regular schedule of the City Jun- ior Baseball League. The defeat also puts the Kinsmen beyond hope of gaining a playoff spot in the league finals. I I I I With each of the three teams having only two more games to play before the schedule winds up. ‘t the Knights are a sure winner for the regular league schedule with the Victories assured of the other berth in the two-team playoff scr- ies, I I I I While on the subject of the Jun- ior League, it might be well to remind the local sporting public that today is the day that the boys will be making their rounds for your kind donations to their campaign for funds by conducting a Junior Baseball League Tag Day. n o e a The boys. who have been per- forming well rill season for the en- tertainment of the local sporting public as well as for their own enjoyment, have been having a pretty hard job in making ends meet financially this season, and for this reason are holding their special Tag Day today in an effort to raise enough funds to be able to curry on for the remainder of the season and provide the local baseball public with the same fine brand of competition they have been witnessing all through the current schedule. I I I I There is no doubt about it that the Junior League already has de- veloped many promising young- sters who are about ready to step into a higher bracket of competi- tion. That was the end to which the junior league was formed three seasons back and now that the youngsters are ready, the future of intermediate hall takes on n brighter picture. So ball fans, give the sellers all the support you can today and by so doing ensure the continuance of junior baseball competition here. I I I I The leading games in the Island Baseball League this week will see the second place Abbies clash with the league-leading Curran and Briggs squad at the local Memorial Field diamond on Wednesday, which will mark the second last meeting of these two teams in regular scheduled play before en- tering lnto the playoff series. a 0 e The final clash between these two teams will be at Summerslde on Sunday, when the Abbies will journey there to meet the league leaders in the first of an Island League twin-bill, with the Abbics meeting the third place R.C.A.F. squad in the second game whlcli will be also the final meeting be- tween these two squads before playoff time. ~ I I I As regards the playoffs them- selves, it has been laid down by League officials that the Wlnnlni! team of the regular schedule will draw a bye into the finals while the second and third place teams will play off in a best two out of three game semi-final event, with the team placing second in the regular schedule drawing the first home game. The winners of the semi-finals will meet the team drawing the bye in a best three out of five game finals series. I I I I Although it is still a toss-up as to whether it will be‘the C. anti B. nine or the Abbies who will be getting the bye into the finals, the Summerside squad are at present in the best position for the hori- ors, with about a two or two and a half game lead, although the ex- act figures are not known at the moment by this column. I I I In any event it will be a close run, and the forthcoming games should produce some close knit. top notch battles that will give both Charlottetown and Summer- side fans some exciting baseball before the issue is decided.

All bouts were of 3-rountl, two-mlriute duration. In addition to the inter-city matches. there were- five other top bills made up of local fighters while the other was a really smart exhibition of boxing skill put on by two American sailors from the U. S. S. Buckley. The boys volun- teered to put on the two-round ex- hlbltlon go. . The card was a really thrill-pack- ed affalr all the way, which gave the capacity crowd their money's worth in fast, rugged action and smart boxing, Big Tom Pendergast of Kensing- ton, fighting on the Summersldc team, scored a T.K.O, over Reg O'Brien of Charlottetown at the SS-second mark of the second round in the main event, which saw both heavyweights batter one another in n gory blood-sputtered first round. Both boys, still bleed- ing profusely from the nose and face early in the second round. pounded one another toe to foe, but Pendergast was getting the best on the exchanges and referee Jenks Jenkins stepped in and awarded a T.K.0. io the Kensing- ton fighter before it got any worse. Sailors In Exhibition Just preceding the main event, “Bulldog" Rolph, former light- heavyweight champion of the Slate of Minnesota and Jimmy Blaine of the State of Ohio put on a really smart two-round exhibition scrap that received a terrific ovation of applause from the crowd. Both boys. hailing from the U. S. S. Buckley which is at present visit- ing Charlottetown with three other American naval ships, displayed really top-notch punching ability. Both displayed excellent in-fight- lng and counter-punching ability as well as terrific hitting power and really put on a splendid ex- hibition, much to the satisfaction of the crowd, ' Other bouts on the card saw Young Barrett. City take a T. K. O. victory over Boy Brown. City, at 1:14 of the third round in the opening paperweight bout on the curd, While in a second bout of the paperweight division, Garth Mc- Gulgan, City, took an unanimous decision over Mel Roberts, City. One of the best bouts on the card was a featherweight clash between Pepper Longaphle and George Ber- rigan both of this city. It was a really rousing battle all the way, with both boys going to the cun- vas during the struggle, but Ber- rigan had the slight edge over his game opponent to earn a split de- clslon. Another smart bout was put on by two bantamwelghts Stevie Mac- Donald of Charlottetown and Young Durant of Summerslde. A1- though MacDonald was the strong- er fighter and had his opponent on the canvas for the count of nine in the first round with a terrific two-fisted attack, the Summei-sidc boy was really game, and although he hit the canvas three times more fllghtlng back gamely at the final ell. ’ In the featherweight department Don Trainer City, and Francis Arsenault, Summeralde put on an- other good scrap with both boys fighting on even terms all the way to end up in a draw decision. Scores Only ‘Knockout Lightweight Bobby Gallant of Charlottetown scored the onlv knockout of the night when he floored Cookie Grady of Summer- side at 1:32 of the second round. Grady took to his bicycle right from the opening round, but Gal- lant finally caught up with him in the second round to drop him with a hard right hand. Grady was up on one knee when he was counted out. In the welterweight division, Austin Squarebrigga scored a clean-cut decision over Johnny Russell of Charlottetown. but for- merly of Fredericton. N. 8., and England. Squarebriggs had it all over his opponent in the first round, and practically hit him at will but didn't do much damage at that time. Russell went down for an eight count early in the second round from a wicked un- slaught by Squarebriggs, and took an awful lot of punishment all through the round but was game all the way. He hit the canvas again in the flnal round, but just wouldn't go down to stay and was still on his pins fighting back at the final bell despite the terrific punishment he absorbed during the round. Evenly Matched Bout One of the most evenly match- ed bouts of the night was between Hugh Doyle, City, and Ernie Cor- mier of Summerside, in a middle- weight go. Both boys stood toe to toe and slugged it out for most of the fight and neither gave any ground and were both hitting hard. Doyle was awarded a t.k.o. in the flnal round by the referee, however, when after a bit of a flurry, Cormier went to his cor- ner claiming a low blow, but the blow was not credited by the re- feree and the fight was awarded to Doyle. Another close bout was also witnessed in the middleweight division when Jimmy McGuigan of Charlottetown scored a split decision over Stuart Grady of Summerside. Both boys fought very evenly all through the en- counter, McGuigan showing up as a smoother boxer but Grady, a tough, aggressive fighter, made it a rugged scrap all the way. The shortest bout of the night was another middleweight clash which saw Louie Lafferty, City, take a t.k.o. victory over Young Gallant of Summerside at 1:06 of the first round. The Westerner took a nt knockdown early in the round, and then hit the canvas for a six-count and coming up again in an almost helpless condition, his handlers threw in the towel to stop the fight. The following are the officials who presided during last night's bouts:- , Judges: J.E. Cameron and Ralph Cameron. Timer: Bill Bevans. Sr. Referees: Eddie Gallant. Beau Jack. George Saunde s.

A foul fly was caught back of third base and thrown into the pitcher, and the runner on third scored. We agree with whoever advised the "Realm of Sport" department that the run counted, but thought the reasons given were a little obscure. When a foul fly is caught the ball is in play, but if it ls dropped the ball is not in play until the pitcher again faces the batter. A runner can score from third on a long fopl fly just the same as on a long fair fly if he makes sure to tag up until the bail touches the fielder‘! glove. I 0' e e Used to be that the runner couldn't leave the base until the fielder caught the ball, but now the moment it touches his glove the runner can get on his horse. The rule was changed because sometimes a clever outfielder would keep juggling the ball as he ran in towards the infield in order that his throw might not be so difficult by the time he actually held the ball. I I I I Reminds us of the legends that persist in some quarters regarding some of the rules. It is only two oi- three years ago that many fans in these parts believed that you were out if in runnmg past first base you turned left to come back to the base. This belief has pretty well died out but occasionally you will hear someone advising a run- ner to be careful how he turns. Fact of the matter ls, this was act- ually a rule of baseball, but was taken out many, many years ago. Now you are OK. if you do not make an obvious attempt to start for second. I I I Another legend that has as many lives as a cat is that if a ball lilts foul, it ls a foul ball even if it rolls falr between home and first and home and third afterwards. This has cropped up a number of tlmcs during the last few years and once within the last two weeks. In the Summerslde Town League a bat- ter hit a ball that hit outside the base line and bounced in to be fielded by the first baseman. It was declared foul. We thought we saw the same thing happening last Sunday. The ball rolled foul but curved in to get into fair terrltorv. It w s declared foul but we after- ward‘; learned that the ball had struck the battens foot. We should have known better. Umpire Jimmie Hogan is a keen student of the rule book and doesn't fall for any of the legends. I I I Sometimes when a ball la in foul territory and looks as if it is going to roll in. if there is no chance to get the runner, a fielder will kick the ball farther out. This procedure used to puzzle us but l| apparently a legitimate action as the umpires always let it go. We suppose the argument ls that the ball was foul when kicked and you can do what you like with a foul ball. Another common belief hero, flourishing at the present time is that after a foul ball has been hit and the runner is going back to first to tag up, the batter niui-t stay out of his box or therunrier can be tagged out. Looks like an- other of those legends to us. When a foul is hit and riot caught the ball is out of play until the pitcher la ready to pitch and no action of the batter automatically puts the ball in play. I I I Congratulations to Freddie Foy for his winning of the Grant Trophy for the leading batter of the Summerslde Town League. Freddie hit .481 In nine games. A player had to play in eight of the twelve games to qualify. l-lere are Henry "Plush" Gallant isn't a green rookie by a good many years, but he irprobably having the but year in baseball of his career.

Ho will certainly give yone a tunic for the mythical sltion of_ all- lter left fielder of the Prince Ed- ward Island League. He is hitting an even .300 and as for his fielding if the ball goes to left field when Henry is on duty out there we just mark the put-out while the ball is in flight.
