They just aren't finished. Why, year after year, do the playoffs have to run on so far into the fall that followers of the game have to bundle cook to compete. Granted they don’t have to take a ferry to get to the grounds but Maritime players surely shouldn't get seasick. These late playoff not only deprive the fans of enjoying the game but also hinder the players. To begin with any team needs practice, and I feel that I can safely say that one could count the number of evenings that the Legion team has prac- ticed in the past month. on the fingers of one hand. Rain, wind, cold, early darkness, all conspire against ball practices in the fall and hence the lack of practices. That the Legion was not sharp was demonstrated only too vividly in the second game of the double header played last weekend. Remember it? The Legion took it’s first loss ever in playoff competition. Then too, the fall is a time for football and how many members of a baseball team feel like taking off the pads at 5:45 and then having to go and practice ball until nightfall? Not too many I bet However enough complaining.

A second game, if necessary will be played immediately fol- lowing the first encounter. best two out of three for the Maritime Junior Championship. The game is slated to start at 2 o’clock. Last weekend, at Memorial Field, the Legionaires, behind the two hit pitching of Mike Kelly and the golden gloves of the fielders, sneaked by the No- va Scotia champs 1-0. However disaster struck in the second game of the double header when the locals lost their first game in series play, since the aggre- gation was formed in the midget ranks, 6-4. Mike Kelly will be on the mound again this weekend for the locals and the other posi- tions will be tended to by the regular gang. A race humdinger of a har- ness racing program is slated for Charlottetown Driving Park tonight at 7.30. This is an eight- dash affair and action is guar anteed in each and every one of the races. All dashes look mighty tough to pick and pays, like last Saturday, should sure- ly: be on the high ‘side. Last week those fortunate en- ough to pick the-victors went away from the cashiers’ win dows with handsome returns. Chances are the payoffs will be even greater tonight. That class with four horses should provide two great races. Fair Sail has mn = an the ning jaunt, wi - Charm- oe seetihe second, Nimble Knight third and Willard’s Choice on the outside. Any one of these four has a perfect li- cense to head the parade to the wire. Races four and eight seem attion-packed. The trotter, Bif- ty |Silver, leaves on the rail but even this advantage should be hardly enough. The competition is rugged in these dashes and is provided by Cyclone Kelly, Den peat performance in dash five. The other class has a full field of eight. They go in races three and seven and the first time out it will be tne first quin- ella race. Picking a winner in this bunch should prove a finan- cial success. | Patrons are reminded that to- night’s races start at 7.30, that’s one-half hour earlier than usual. Make it a point to take in this great harness racing action. Bears 1-3 in won-lost records. The improving Bears put things together last week for their first victory, 316 over Los Angeles Rams. But the Vikiags also pulled out of a spin, man- gling New York Giants 40-14.
