‘lrleccc Juniors Are Game Up In Battle For» Island. Crown The Charlottetown Reece lun- for baseball team took the first game of the best-of-five series for the Prince Edward Island championship yesterday at Sum- merside by defeating the local Kinsmen Juniors 7 to 4. The Kinsmen attack never looked feebier than it did in this open- ing play-off game. and Murphy vkiting flinger. toppled them over like tenpins, getting no less than eighteen strikeouts in the nine innings of play. The Reece stick- men were not much better than their rivals in this department. thirteen men going down by the strikeouts route. The game was devoid of spark- iink fielding plays, and most of the errors were committed on easy chances. After five scoreless innings the Reece aggregation made the sixth. frame a big one, sending five men across the platien-Leonard start- Od off the inning with s nicely laid belt and he beet the throw to first.

Maritime middleweight boxing champion comes as not a great surprise to many of his fol- lowers here for it has been a well known fact that the hard-hitting Island-born boy ha_s been finding it exceed‘ gly difficult to get matches d after all it isn't much sense to be laying out training ex- penses if the challenges he has been issuing to top flight fighters g0 unheedeci by the promoters. -l- + Il- ~l- The ring loses a colorful figure in McCloskeys retirement. He was a fighter who always gave of his best. win or lose. As courageous a youngster as ever laced on gloves he took the bitter with the sweet and the writer has seen him take beatings when others could easily have called it quits and nobody would blame thorn. O O C O That wasn't McCloskeyb idea. He always wanted to give the cus- tomers a show regardless of the consequences and he usually suc- ceeded in doing this. Althougn still but 21 rears of age 'Ace" has fought the best of them in his division and beaten a big percent- age of thorn. His main idea was to win the Canadian middleweight championship but evidently this will not come about now. One can't fight the Dominion's best without necessary tune-up scraps and with these being evidently impos- sible to obtain the next best thing was ietiremenk-and that's what the Ace has evidently' decided upon. -l~ 4 4- O But the youngster who joined the Merchant Navy when but thirteen, years oltzi and stayed until the end nf the ‘war. the youngster ‘who has battled Wadsworth, Why- not, Billy Henderson, Buddy Brown. Jimmy Mooney, Joe Pyle and others will not soon be for- gotten by fight fans. l-le always gave of his best no matte.- how the fight was faring: when he won the middleweight crown he took on all comers but now as a Dart- mouth writer says, "Ace has to quit and secure a steady job some- where; he just can't wait until he's so old Halifax fight promot- ers, who have steered shy of Ace. are no longer afraid of their box- ing lovelies." i- Ib i- 1- One game up in a series they hope to capture in three straight games Ffreddie McCabe's power- laden City League Anchors tackle the Rovers in the second game of the finals this evening at the Memorial Field diamond but al- though the westend team's follow- ers are brim full of confidence there are just as many looking for- ward te the northenders, under Freddie Whalen‘s guidance squar- ing the series at a game apiece. 4- Il- e These same fans have lots to justify their optimism for in the opening clash on Sunday afternoon Rovers provided perhaps more op- position than they have experi- enced this season with the Anchors having to call 0n all their power to emerge with the verdict. l I O I Although defeated the moraleof the Rovers crew was strengthened greatly. ‘They forced "Lefty" Mc- Aleer. the Anchors starry port- sider to display everything in his repertoire before conceding defeat and if they can come ,through with another like performance the series certainly isn't going to bean easy conquest for the McCabe-led crew. I O O I Pius Bolger is still the same old smoothie on the pitching mound that he was several seasons ago.

Sept. 13-011’) —Ezzard Charles. who hopes u; step into Joe l.ouis"job as heavy weight champion. took a 1on2 stride in that direction tonight by winning a well fought IO-rcuzd decision over Jimmy Bivins. Butt there would have been boos no matter which way it went, for although there was a. lot of fan- oy boxing and some hard hitting, neither of the Ohio Negroes man- aged to score a knockdown. The Associated Press score card. gave six rounds to Charles, bwo to Bivins and two even, but in sicne of these rounds was there any great margin of victory. Appropriately, the best was sav- ed for the last. The 10th. round was a. dilly. Charles, named by Louis as a possible su-ccessor to the title he is vacating, came out aiming for a knockout. He out loose with everything he had. which is plenty. But Bivlns, hairxnered by potential haymak- ers from both the left and the right. managed to sneak in close for some damaging blows of his own. Charles wedghed 1'70, Bivins 1'72. Williams Boosts Batting Margin In American league CHICAGO.

Physicians said the hemorrhage is near the brain and described it as a sub-arachnoid type. They said it resulted when an aneur- yam, an unnatural growth be- tween a vein and an artery, broke. Black apparently twisted his neck when he hit a foul in the second inning and fell at thc plate in pain. l-le was helpedfrom the field and later lost conscious- ness. He was still unconscious to- nig-ht. Dr. Edward Castle. team physic- ian, said no surgery was contem- plated. Earlier, a spinal puncture was performed to aid in the diag- nosls. Black came to the Ind-ians in 1946. but won only one game and was sent to Milwaukee. He re- turned to Cleveland the following year and disclosed that he had‘ joined Alcoholics Anonymous.

Woodcock Returns To Ring Against Cma BY BILL MACKLIN LONDON, Sopt. 13 — (AP) - His broken janv mended, Bruce Woodcock returns to the ring against Lee Oma Sept. 2i, the subject of the greatest guessing game in British boxing history. Can the British heavyweight boxing champion come back? ls his jaw sound or glass? 1s he keen to fight after the jaw- breaking beating he took from JOe Baksi 1'1 months ago? Was Woodcock ever any good in the first place? Bruce, at Z7 still has his British and European heavyweight titles. But he will have to start from scratch rebuilding himself into a position as a challenger for the logical United States for the world title. p His first. task on trail is the handsome Detroit playboy. Oma, whom he meets over eight rounds at London's Harrlngay arena. Tom Hurst. 44-year-old North Country manager of Woodcock, is "quietly confident" that Bruce can make a successful comeback. "I think that Bruce is more than agreeably surprised at his snap and punch," said Hurst. "He is looking pretty good in training and when he is looking like that nothing has the beat- ing of him." Despite his outward confidence, there is an impression abroad that Hurst would not risk much more than the price of a beer on his man. 'I‘hat is not to belittle Hurst's loyalty. or Woodcock‘; ability. Woodcock no longer is a huiflry fighter. It is conservatively eetl- mated that he has made £90,000 ($130,000) since h, turned pro- fessional in 1M2. Unlike most boxers, Bruce still has practically all his earnings. Probably his best victory since winning the British title from Jack London in 1045 was his eight-round knockout of Gus Lesnevich. then world light-heavy champ. His only defeat. besides by Beksl, was by Tami Msuriello in 10M. - ll. S.

The last fourteen-inning game played here, the fang tell us, was another exhibition affair be- tween Moncton and Summerside quite a few years ago. Summer- sicie won that game 2 to 1. and they defeated the AmericansSun- day 4 to 2. so we have a perfect average in these Mlrlfim ille- ball games. After the locals got their two runs in the third inning. 'Scully held them scoreless for ten con- secutive innings, giving up only five hits during that stretch. lifter Harmon Field tied the ball game in the sixth, “Joe" Bernard held them scoreless for eight consec- utive frames, allowing only three sale bingles in that interval. Pretty fIhiIre pitching performances. we znk. This boy Polston who plays left. field for the Yankees is one sweet ball hawk. He had twelve put-outs in the two games and three or four of these were spectacular, one in particular 1n the first contest ranking ahead of any fielding acrobatics seen here in a good many years. ‘There is so much talk about Bernard's pitching in the tie-inn- ing game that we tend to forget’ about Pony Daly's hurling in the first game on Saturday. Daley gave a gilt-edged performance allow- ing the Americans only six hits in nine innings. The way the two ball beams fought each other for supremacy on Sunday would make youlthink a lllarltime championship was in the balance. With nothing at stake except perhaps the T-bone variety. (the winners were promised a free meal at Andy's Sea Foods Res. taurant) the .boys fought on dog- gedlv inning after inning, there beinc noquestion of calling the gam~ off until the local players got (heir two-run margin in what prowl to be the final frame. It looked as if the game would have gone twenty innings if the tie hladrfit been broken more can me. Bob Home of the R.C.A.F. play- ed wzth the All-Stars for the first time and certainly won his spurs. l-le got one hit. made two gallant bids for other bingles but was stooped by peeless fielding, and laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt just when it was needed most. l-ie didn't have a chance to show his wares in left field. but we have seen him in action in the outer gardens before and know he can take care of himself in that de- partment. In our opinion he'will be a valuable addition to the team. Pete Mickus. the other airfcrce player on the All-Stars was a tow- gt of strength at bat, getting two s.
