Giants 3-2 By The Canadian Press Hank Edwards, recaitly acquired from Cleveland Indians, drove in one run and scored another yes- terday (Wednesday) 1o lead Chi- cago Cubs to a 3-2 victory over New York Giants. The triumph enabled- the lowly Cubs to sweep the two- game series. The Giants rem-sin in second place in the National Lfia- gue, half a game behind Boston Braves. Cincinnati Reds came from be- hind to defeat Philadelphia. 3-2. and although still in fourth piece. moved to within a. game and a. half of the leading Boston Braves.

Pyle hopes to start a come- back campaign after being knock- ed out in three rounds last year by Canadian middleweight champion geogge Ross of West Bay Road, Terranova Scores TKO Over Paris WORCESTER, Mass, May 25 — (AP) — Phil Terranova of New York, former N. B. A.-recognized featherweight champion, opened a out over Percy Paris’ right eye and scored a six-round technical knock- out. over the Nova Scotian in a scheduled 10-round bout here to- night. Paris, from Halifax, weighed 185. Terranova came in at 130. Kluszewski, filling the bags. Hank Saucr backed up against the left wall to take Willie Jones’ long fly and and the half inning. It was Lively’: fourth victory against one defeat. and the second loss against four victories for Ken Heintzelirnan. who started for Phil- adelphia. Kan Trinklc pitched the last two innings for the visitors. Fine relief hurling by rookie Jack Ban-ta and a 13-bit attack. led again by Jackie Robinson, brought the Dodgers their fourth victory in their last. five antes and seven out of nine for th National League western tour. The Brooks now are in third place, a game be- hind the leading Boston Brews. Banta, in chalking up his first big-league triumph, relieved Rex Barney in the third and gave up four hits and two runs the rest of the way. Robinson, continuing his hitting rampage clubbed a two-run homer and a single, and got on base four times. Warran Spahn pitched a fine game for the Braves for all but. one unfortunate inning, the fourth. when the Cards scored all of their runs on two doubles. two singles , who won 21 and lost 10 in 1946 and hasnft had anything like such a record si-nce then, was sharp all the way. He pitched out of a. hole twice, when Bc-b Elliott opened the second inning with a double and did the same in the ninth. In each instance Pollet re- tired the next three men.

TZIE GUARDIAN, CHARLOTTETOWN MAY 26, 1949 It was announced Last night by bowling officials that a candlepin elimination tournament will gel. underway at the Sporting Club Roll-Away alleys tonight‘ at seven o'clock, which will see some of the City's best bowlers in action against one another in what is expected to produce some really top-notch competition. O O O Although activities among local sporting circles had qmetened down considerably during yester- day after the fuil Victoria Day's sporting events. there vuas never- theless some activity going 0n in the way of planning for future events. a a a Members of the Abegvreit and‘ Victoria Amateur Athletic Assoc- iations were busily engaged dur-‘ ing the day making their final plans for getting their respective groups of interscholastic athletes,‘ away today for Wolfvllle, NS.‘ where they will compete in the) Acadia Annual Track and Field‘ Championships, (which will be held there on Friday and Satur- day of this week. O O O The Abegwelt sponsored track and field team will be composed of five local athletes representing SDU, PWC, WKS, and QSS while the number of the Victoria spon- sored team, wihich twill make the Lrip could not be learned last night, although it is believed that they will also be representing the above mentioned colleges and schools as well as representatives from Prince Street School as well. Both groups will leaive by car to- day. . O O O It (would be hard to say at the moment just how the local boys will fare out in the competitions this year, but i.f their last year's showing at this same meet is any indication of the forthcoming re- sults, they should make good, as they made a very impressive show- lng last. year and copped off their share of the honors. O O 0 In any event, the boys can be depended upon to give it every- thing they have, amd will be tak- ing with them the best wishes of the local sporting pllbliC, who will; be rooting for them to bring home the bacon. l O O O l Following a delightful banquet, at Sandy's restaurant last night.‘ tendered by the Department of Physical Fitness to the Bantam and Pee Wee Abegwelt hockey teams, who copped off the two Island titles last season, a short meeting was held by n. number of interested sportmien Mic have offered their assistance, in oo-op- eration with the Physical Fitness Department, in getting tfihe Ban- tam, Midget, and Pee Wee base- bail leagues formed up and roll- ins. The group discussed the various phases connected with the pro- gram and more unless allotted out the various sections of the city where the groups will be formed by those who will look'a.fter the different groups.

Says U-Ioaf Crew On South Sec Island HAMBURG, May I — (AI) - The newspaper Niederdeutsohe Zeitung came up today with this tale of the South Pacific: Forty German U - boat men sneaked their submarine out of a Norwegian port before the German surrender in 1916 and headed for the south seas. where they settled on an island. ‘they are living an idyllic life there with native wives. blissfully unaware of the world's poet-war troubles, and don't in- tend to move until at least 1905. This, said the newspaper, came in a letter received by a Ham- burg citizen. It was postmarked Wellington, N. Z. The letter did not name the island nor give the number of the U-bost.

Racing Cir Annual Meeting Wield Last Evening The annual meeting of the Prince Edward island Racing Cir- cuit Club took place in the City l-lall last evening, with President George MacLntyre of Montague, presiding. His annual report which was Rad and adopted, appears be- low. The financial statement was submitted by Secretary-Treasurer D..K. Macleod and adopted. The meeting then was opened for discussion of matters connected with harness racing. Speakers in- cluded Dr. George Bishop, Lt.-Col. J.P. Hooper, Harold Cudmore, George Gregory, Dr. Austin De- laney, Dr. RC. Dougan, LL-Ool. D.A. MacKinnon, Clifford Mac- Donald, F... F. Acorn and others. A resolution was submitted by Dr. George Bishop, asking the horsemen present to back up the judges in their duties, and asking thcm to keep strictly to the rules. It was passed unanimously. During the meeting, a lot of dis- cussion took place re-the "starting gate," but the general opinion was that it was satisfactory as operat- ed last. season. Clifford MacDonald spoke of the necessity of a uniform entry system for the rural tracks, so that the public could rely on seeing the horses published as actual starters in the races. 1t is lilaely that some plan will develop to make this feasible. ‘Mr. ELF. Acorn, representing the Charlottetown Driving Park Association, explained the system they will use for their night races, but. it was pointed out, however, that such a system would not be satisfactory for the rural tracks. Dr. Bishop's resolution, re stricter supervision of drivers, was strongly endorsed and it will mean that the judges will now feel more confidence in dealing with those who brea-k the rules of racing. Messrs. Joe Leslie, William Les- lie ami- Albert Quigley of St.. Bet- ers were present and after the meeting talked with track owners relative to a date for a race meet- ing on the St. Peters‘ track. which is now being rebuilt. Circuit mem- bers will meet next week with a view to consider their requtst. Clifford MacDonald. stated that l-lamld Gaudet, proprietor of the Summerside track, is having it re- surfaced by Curran and B11388 "if! is prepared to put on a prOBIW-‘fl of four or possibly five events for Dominion Day, July 1st. Mr. Mac- Donald will be race manager. It'was announced that J. Leo Praught, proprietor of Riverside track, Vernon, preferred to change hi; June racing date from June 29th to June 22nd. Approval was given by racetrack members for t-his change. The general opinion was that the meeting last evening brought out for discussl u. a. number of mat» tors that required to be dealt with. and for that, if for no other rea- son. it was very satisfactory. The election of two new directors resulted in Mr.. Jack Annear. Mon- tague, and Dr. Austin Delanw, Summerside, being appointed. At the directors meeting, held after the annual meeting the following officials were elected: Hon. President LL-Ool. D.A.

I believe we can look back on 1948 and consider it very suc- cessfui. Racing started Saturday night, June 22nd, at Charlottetown, the evening program was gieatly en- joyed and they were continued on Saturday nights throughout the Summer. The first afternoon meet- ings were held July lst at River- side and Summerside, then at Mont- ague July 7th, Covehead July 14in. Riverside July 21st, Covehead July 2'7. August 4 at Montague, Old Home Week August 10th w 14th, Montague August 26th. Parkview September 6th, Goodwill Races September 8th and 9th. Covehead September 15th and ‘lfith. Racing concluded with a meet at River- side October 11th. The Starting Gate which had been used to some extent the previous year. was in operation at practically all races and gave gen- eral satisfaction and at nearly all meetings with the exception of the night races the Godfrey Photo Finish was used. Due credit must be given to the Directors of the Charlottetown Driving Park for putting up the largest amount ever offered by a Maritime racing association. over $30,000 in purses and prizes for their season's racing. All other member tracks put up good pro- grams and purses for which the competition was very keen. I believe that more horses were trained and campaigned than in any recent year and it is certainly gratifying to see the number of slow class horses that took new records and the stars that showed up among them. It was a pleasure to greet a new member track - Parkvlew Race- way —- with its genial proprietors Amos and Alyre Gallant. They held a very successful meeting on Labor Day, September 6th. and with that good start they are all set to do even beter his year. A new track trotting record of 7-09 4/5 was set up by Fast Train. owned by Vernon Irving, Shediac, N. 5.. and driven by Fergie Baxter. at Covehead. September 15th.

The three winners of the Victoria Day IO-mile bicycle race were also in attendance as special guests. Brigadier W. W. Reid._Director of Physical Fitness. was the pre- siding ohairmsn. Special guests in attendance were Mr. W. 2.’. Scuttle- bury, chairman of the AbQWeIt hockey committee, Major Tom Davies, Arthur Perry, Councillor W. H. Benton. Wes “Bucko" Train- or, Glen Matheson, Cecil Ward. Buck White, Ev ett Toombs and representatives o the press. Following the banquet. individual trophies, donated by the Depart- ment, were presented to the mem- bers of the Bantamand Pee Wee teams, while the three winners of Tuesday's bicycle race were also presented with their trophies. Councillor W. H. Boston made the presentations. Brigadier Reid made a brief opening address of welcome to the honred guests, in which he said that although the prime reason of the banquet was to show their appreciation to the Bantam‘: and Pee Wee’s for their splendid show- ing lsst season. and to present them with their trophies. there was also a secondary reason. That reason was to create a greater interest in these same Bantam and Pee Wee groups, who played hockey together all winter. to have them carry on in those some groups this summer in the various baseball leagues which are being organised, and to meet with the oidsr guests present who have volunteered their scr- vices to help in the organization and management of the various b baiilrou .- Me he would be absent from the Pro- vince s good deal this liimmer, he was turning over the Job of forming up the various leagues to Wes "Bucko" Trainer, who is a member of the Department staff at present. The chairman then called upon various members present to say a few words which included Mr. W.- B. Scantlebury, Major Tom Davies, Art Perry. Bucko Trainer, W. l-I. Boston, and the pron represent- atives, who all offered their con- gratulations to the winning teams for their fine showing last soa- aon and wished them the best of luck in their activities in the future. In closing Brigadier Reid uld that the purpose of organising the baseball program for this summer was to have every boy of Bantam, Midget, and Pee Wee age playing ball this summer. He Jessed the hope that the boys present would talk it up among the many other: of their own grows who were not present. so ‘that everybody who wants to play bail this summer will have a chance to play. and make it l. really luc- ceasful season. The following are those who re- ceived trophies at last night's banquet: Bike Race — 1. Harold Lee, Q58; 2. Noel MacMillsn, Q. B. 8.; i. Arnold Mullins. Q. B. B.

The game went ten innings before the East End Indians defeated the Wast End club by the scoreof5 to 4.. Lee Cooke and Eric Cahill start- ed on the mound for the East and West respectively, and sitting dir- ectly behind the home plate we were amazed at the assortment. of stuff which these boys dished out for five full linings. Clive Mac- donaid relieved Cooke at this stage and Cokey Grady took over the pitching chores for Cahill. In the next five innings these boys allow- ed only one hit each. The East End nine managed to push over the winning run in the first half of the tenth, but the West Enders came right back in their half and aided by a hit and a walk put men on sec- ond and third with only one out. It looked like a reoi spot‘ for ‘Mac- donald. but when Wedge hit. u Texas Leaguer back of second, Lee Cooke, now playing the keystone sack, raced back and gathered in the fly. then threw an amazingly accurate peg to the plate which Paul Schurman took. tagging out Grady who was coming home with the tying run. We've seen lots of no less sptctacular plays applaud- ed vigorously in intermediate gam- es. Maynard Schurman swung the big bat for the winners, getting two hits in four trips to the plate. One of these bingles was a double Cokey Grady poled out two singles for the losers and Ed Dalton dupli- cawd his brother Gerrard's feat of the day before, getting a triple to right field. Ron McArthur, an East Ender, got the only other extra- base blow, a double. O O O We saw only one intenrnediate ball game this year and it provided a little speculation as regards rule interpretation. 1n Sunday's game a runner at third saw the bail get away from the catcher and start- ed for home. A speciaton or oppos- ing player, we still don't know which, picked up the ball and re- layed it to the catcher, and the runner seeing that he could not make hcme started back to third and made it safely. We thought the runner should havebecn allowed to score because of the interference, but we were not by any means sure. We've been thumbing the rule book since and rules 33 and 65 seem to tlaow some light on it. In both, if a thrown ball or pitched ball is handled by someone not en- titled to handle it the runner is en- titled to advance, at least one base, tinder certain specified conditions, two bases. O O O The Curran 6r Briggs ball nine seem to be picking up just where they left off. as the Suimmerside All-Stars, last fall. On Sunday the boys showed a lot of the class which they displayed in Winning the Maritime Intennediate champ- ionship. They played almost error- iess ball a-field, and came through with important base hits when base hits were badly needed. Of course it. is too early to Judge of the respective merits of the Abeg- . weits and the Curran dz Briggs ball club.. The boys ‘will improve as the heat of summer gets more pne- nounced, but it was really amazing how those boys played so early in the season. O O The big fellows had a field day. Bob Schurmanb two doubles and Pony Daley! amazing three-run single were the feature clouta of the afternoon. O O O Ala-n Stewart seems to be follow- ing in the footsteps of his dad when it. comes to base running. We've never seen Don on the paths but have heard that his speed was demoralizing to the opposing team. Alan doesn't atop to pick daisies on the way from base to base either, and his slide into second in the seventh was one of thcpictunpisys of the game. O O O We failed through oversight to include the "runs batted in" in our summary of thstgame, and that was rather an important itun to omit. m the benefit of those in- tereated hero they are: REE-S.

With 8-4 Triumph (Canadian Press) St. Louis Brown: yesterday (Wednesday) supported effective pitching by Cliff Fannin and Torn Ferrlck with 13 hits to snap, Boa- ton Red Sox’ four-game winning streak in the American League with an 8-4 victory. Tommy Byrno was the whole works as “he pitched and batted New York Yankees to a 6-2 triumph over Hal New‘ and Detroit Tigers. Jack Graham started the lowly Brownies on their scoring romp with his eighth homer of the sea- son against Joe Dobson in the sec- ond inning. The eighth-place visi- tors collected a second run in the third frame and five more in the fifth on three hits, two passes and a pair of errors. Fannin had a two-hitter going into the sixth, when the Bosox scored their first tally on a walk to Ted Williams and singles by Junior Stephens and Billy Good- man. Byrne, a 29-eyar-o1d left-hander hurled a five-hitter over the slumping Bengals and struck out 12. 11c also collected two of the Yankees’ 15 hits, both of them doubles, and drive in four runs. It was Byrne'a third straight, without a loss this season for the American League leaders. Nowhouser, in going down to his fourth loss against four victories. lasted six innings. He gave up 12 tilts nnd all the runs. Beside Byrne, first - baseman Jackie Phillips cracked two doubles and a single. and Hank Bauer hammered a home run and two singles. tvashington Senators pounced on Steve Gromek and Sam Zoldak for six runs in the first two innings to defeat Cleveland 6-2 behind the seven-hit pitching of Sid Hudson. It was the Senators’ fourth straight victory in as many games with the Indians. Cleveland's runs came as the re- sult of Larry Doby’: fourth-inning home run with Ken Keltner on base. The blow, which cleared a sign atop the right-centrefleld scoreboard, was one of the longest ever hit at Griffith Stadium. Philadelphia Athletics protected their hold on second place, defeat- ing Chicago White Sox 6-4 on the strength of a five-run fourth-inn- lng attack.
