Sport Echoes from Prince County "Ivan. Down here in Prince County we are still patiently waiting for the New Brunswick and Nov; scotia intermediate champions to get their semi-final series for the Maritime championship over so that our Summerside All-Stars can take on the winner. When you get down into October. ideal baseball weather gets pretty scarce. Ball fields take longer to dry up after a rain. and tbe coolness of even- lng greets nl a little earlier every day. It is to he hoped that the final series will begin early next week. Old Jupe Pluvius rained out a rather attractive sporting event to be held at the Summerside High School diamond on Wed- nesday. Gordie Drilions Char- lottetown softball team ivas tp play the R.C.A_F. team, winners of the Prince County softball league. comprising Kcnsington. Kinkora, Borden and the local air- port. We hope this game will still be played. Drilions prowess as a softball pitcher is well known in the Maritimes. and the R.C.A.F. is said to have a. top notch fllnger also in the person of F. O. Vincent Receipts were to go to the Prince County Hosoital Fund. and as this is a very wrlrthy object the spectators would no doubt have dug down deep when the hat came around. Sports fans will hope flat this game has been just tempor- arily postponed and not cancelled. Davis Lidstone and Jimmie Hogan are making an effort to revive football in the High School this year. The boys have been out for their first practice and it ls hoped that a team can he mould- ed together to take on West Kent and Queen Square, and perhaps even the second Prince of Wales "College team.

Perhaps the examples of the kids will net the older athletes into action too. our" Now that the frost is on the pumpkin. the sport of five-pin bow- ling will soon be getting into its regular stride again at the Caritol éBowiing Alleys. Last year was a Fvery successful one with both ithe men and ladies playing in ‘leagues. Competition was keen all winter and a team from the R. c. -A.

Local town teams have been in the/process of organization for some time now and there is jittle doubt but that a mighty effort will be made to wrest the crown from the airforce lads this year.

The l-Ioreck family of Capreol. 0nt., was well represented with Pete playing left wing for the Red Wings while Danny was over on the right boards.
