Charlie Ryan's Reece Juniors yesterday climaxed their Island baseball playdowns with a title-u" “g victory that gave them the right to carry the Island banner into the Maritime semi-finaiplaydoivirs likely against the New Brunswick champions. . . Even the most rabid supporter ‘of the Reece squad could not have visualized the one-sided triumph that the new champions came through with yesterday. From the time of their opening blast in the last half of the first the locals were always ahead, with the stick- work they showed in the first part of the season again coming to the fore, particularly with men onthe basepaths. I I Far on‘ color the Summerslde team came through with damag- ing errors in almost every inning with the Reece taking full ad- vantage to account in a large part for their one-sided win. but even with Svnimcrside at their best it is doubtful if thcy would have been able to pull through with a ilctory yesterday. No doubt about it the Reece learn are not that much brtter than the Summerside squad but yesterday they were rzear- letter perfect. _and no team could afford to make mistakes a- a c o How they will fare off in the lVfaritime playdowns is problem- atical but the squad are one Of the most evenly balanced to come out of the Province in recent years. Well fortified with pitch- ers, they present a smart defens- live squad while at the plate ev- j ery man on the lineup poses a threat. They may not come through with a Maritime crown but they should ofier plenty of competition to whichever squads they will be called upon to face. I I O Congratulations are in order t0 the entire team. When the chips were down they proved they had the stuff to come through and all Island fans will be pulling strongly for them in the games that are facing them. Manager charlie Ryan,‘ who has worked hard and earnestly with the stiuad is also deserving of bouquets for the manner in which he has brought the team up to their pre- sent peak. Ryan, one of the best ball-players himself in the Pro- vince. had the happy knack of instilling his knowledge of the game into his players and on top of that always had them fighting to the last out. That. latter fact played a. large part in bringinc them their title for it was the same spirit that enabled them to squeeze by the Kinsmen in the City series. a. series that will be remembered for a long while. A- gain congratulations to Manager Ryan and his smart. crew of jun- ior ball players. o . Kinsmen went. out like real champions. The task was a dis- couraging one from the early part of yesterdays game but the Sum- nierside youngsters kept fighting back with everything at their command and although the am- munition they carried was not erlorggl-i, they are to be. commend- ed, every single one of them, for the spirit they displayed even though the odds were continually mounting against them. They will be back again next year, that ts a certainty, fighting harder than ever to regain the title that yes- terday slipped from their grasp. I I I Fight fans should experience plenty of boxing thrills and wide open action the night of October 1 when Jinx Jenkins puts his heavyweight crown on the block against challenger "Big Boy" Pet- erson. The scrap is one that has been eagerly looked forward to ever since Jenkins lifted the crown in a savage ten round bat- tie and with both fighters now down to hard and fast training the coming bout should be even more rugged and pulsating than the three that preceded it.
