Sept. 25 —(AP) — There is little or nothing to choose between the infield quartets in the coming World Series judging by the figures, so it becomes necessary w try to single out the one player ln the group who might by his individual exploits blow the big play-off wide open. That one would be Jackie Rob- mson, the Negro rookie who plays first base for Brooklyn Dodgers. m s. close series. such as that of nst fall, one ‘fleet, daring base/run- ner o1’ Robinson's stripe can sup- ;l_v the difference.

It comes down. as lhls observer sees it. to a compari- lOIl between Robinson and his first-basing rival’ the veteran George McQuinn of the Yanks. McQuinn made a great come- tack this season. The oldster has llugged a resounding .300 (the lame as Robinson), and he has whaled 13 home runs (one more than Robinson). He undoubtedly is a slicker fielder than the Negro tookie. But there the comparison ends -and Robinson takes over. It is rm exaggeration to say that the pigeon-teed freshman from Mon- ireal "made" the Dodgers. Chan- ces are he will be named the mat valuable man in the Na- uonal League. Every time Robinson comes up in the series the Yankees had bet- ler brace themselves, If they ever dip and let Robinson start run- mng. it could be a "Pepper Mar- lin" series all over again. The two shortstop-second base eombinations are Just about a stand-off.

It's like this. The portly Mich- ael, who bears a remarkable re- semblance to the Empress of Can- ada on skates when he launches himself on the Buffalo defence. figured his contract should pro- vide some kind of bonus. Mike pondered long and deeply. Why not for goals scored? And the big idea was born. One cent for the first goal Mike scored, two cents for the second, four cents for the third and so on, doubling up. swell, eh? A little pocket money. maybe. for the end of the season. Mike put his innocent-looking proposition up to manager Art Chapman of the American Hockey League's Blsons. Art was impress- ed. He said he would take a little time on it. He did; also four note- books and two pencils. Of course Mike's 12 goals last year wouldn't have earned him much, then Baz O'Meara of the Montreal Star went to work and figured if MnMahon got 20 goals his earnings would be more than the grind.

Sept. 25 —(CP)— Eddie Shore, boss man of three of the four hotkey teams now train- ing at Saskatoon, chopped seven players from his retinue today and the procedure was followed by Le- roy Goldsworthy, coach of the Buffalo Bisorls who dropped five.

The technicality of the bout not being a 12-round affair was overlooked, the time the match was made, and evidently on the strength of that Wadsworth has hung on to his crown. But should McCloskey be able to defeat Wads- worth he will definitely give Why- nott a chance at the title and if this pair should ultimately tangle for the crown over the required distance, the title question should be settled once and for all. 0- 0 0 0- By the way things are shaping up at present it now appears as if Promoter Archer will make application to have a Prince Ed- ward Island Boxing Commission formed early in 194B. The need for such a body is quite evident and it would definitely help to put the game on a more solid footing and at the same time pro- vide protection both for the fans and promoters alike. It would do away with untoward events which have marred boxing cards here in the past and would guarantee the fans witnessing well matched fighters in action at all times. There would be no stalling tac- tics employed. for immediately any were noticed the commission would step in and forfeit the pur- sea of offending mittslingers.’ and that is one way of curing that ill in the boxing game.

Two very smart ball clubs, the Charlottetown Abbies and the Summerside All-Stars waged a nip-and-tuck struggle which took six games to decide a best-three- out-oi-five series, and neither ball club won a nine-inning game in this series by a larger margin than two runs. Summerside was a- warded the first when the score Was 4 to 0 in the sixth inning; Charlottetown took the second, 7 to 6; and Summerside the third. 3 to 1. The fourth ended in a tie, 3 to 3. and Charlottetown won the fifth. 3 to 2. Then Summer- side came through with the clin- cher. 5 to 3. t I O "Joe" Bernard has emerged from the gruelling series as the most important factor in the Summerside victory. Bernard won all three games for his club and lost one. Four runs were scored against him in 24 innings. Even- tempered and a good sport, "Joe“ takes defeat and victory in his ; stride. O I O I Cece Powell, the number 2 pit- cher. though not fortunate enough to chalk up a win for his club. pitched two flue ball games. draw- ing one and losing the other by the narrowest of margins. The players, with whom Powell is very popular, would have liked to see the big right handcr turn in at least one victory, but the breaks just didn't come his way. Per- haps he will have better luck in the games with mainland teams. coo Russ Phaneui has definitely shown that he is a “money" play- er. Russs record for the season is not particularly impressive, but this is the second time that the Red Sox second baseman has de- livered when the "chips were down." In a. game against Am- herst last year, Phaneui stole the show with some lusty ciouting, and in the decisive game Wed- nesday his contribution towards victory was very large, Rubbing Higson of a hit that would have scored at least one and perhaps two runs. Phaneui was also prom- inent with the hickory. laying down a perfect bunt which sent Morrison scampering home with the winning run. Phaneui took his turn at the plate four times but had no official times at bat, getting three walks and a sacri- fice. one And now a tribute to a great Charlottetown pitcher who throws them in from the port side. “Lcfty" McAleer. "Iseity" didnt win a game in his three starts, but his pitching on every occasion was gilt-edged and hils off his slants were almost as scarce as bananas in Baffinlarld. O l 0 Weve heard that the age limit for junior baseball players in New Brunswick is 21 compared t-o 20 in the rest of the Provinces of Canada. We've been unable to get exact information concerning this. Charlie Hogan and his Island champions don't want anyone tc dig up any alibis for their defeat at the hands of the New Bruns- wick winners and so were non- committal when we approached them. but there are rumors circu- lnting to the effect that New Brunswlcks age-limit is a year provinces. If this ls so, something should be done about it. What regulations New Brunswick makes for junior games within her bor- ders is her own business. but when she starts to engage in int- erprovincial play against juniors from Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotla it is utterly absurd that her playing age should be a year older than theirs. A 21-year have brought home the bacon. We are now proud possessors of both surely won theirs the hard way.
