There will b» no names schedul-

ed locally in the Island Senior Baseball League. but. the City Junior League will feature four

games at Memorial Field this week. the first of those getting tinder- way last night between the Vics and the Kinsmen. The other gazn- es will see the Kiirsmcn and K. of C. tangle on Wcdntxsday, (he Vics and Kinsmen on Friday and the K. of C. and Vics on Sunday af- ternoon. The senior games are slated for Sumfficrside on Wednes- day between R.C.A F, and Curran and Briggs, while on E‘riciay‘the Abbles and C. and B. squads wlii tangle at Kciisirrgton as the open- ing feature of their new ball diam-

ond there. 0 . - u

i The big features in the horserac-

ing will be the afternoon racing ai. ihe Montague track on Wednesday and the regular nlghtiraclng pro- gram at the Exhibition track on Saturday, and with both events heralding some smart classified events again this week, racing fans should he in for some more top- iiotrh battles, which has been predominantmere ‘this season. .

In the horseshoe pitching sport. the Brighton Horseshoe Club will hold the spotlight in that. division when they launch their Island open tourney on its way tonight at the club pitches‘. '

Charlottetown fight promoter Gus Loiigaphie stated yesterday that final arrangements have been concluded ivith Carl Pfitzpatrick of Summerside for the big Inter-City amateur boxing tournament scheduled for (he Charlottetown Anmouries next Monday night. August eighth, between the two Island centres.

The tournament, the first of its kind to be held here for many years, will offer ten bouts ranging from heavyweight down lo paper- weight and will soe the cicaitn of the amateur boxers frcm the lflVO Cities match their skill against one another in what, is expected to an outstanding night of boxing entertainment.

.

o n o,

The main event on tho card will see heavyweight Tom Pendergast (200) of Kensingion tangle with Charlotbetowffs Reg O'Brien (210). Both boys are fast, heavy hitters. and the former, n0 stranger to a local ring, is the son of a well known heavy in former years. James Pcndergast. and fiom all reports the bout has all the ear marks of a really two-fisted bat- tle all the way.’ .

.

Promoter Lnngapliie states that he is bringing a new boy to the ring for the first time 1n oiiie of the two middleweight clashes scheduled for that night. in the person of Jimmy McGuigan of Hunter River who will meet Fred- die Conrnler of siiiimcrslde. Tho new protege is showing plenty of promise, states Gus, and both boys are 200d punchcrs and fast boxers and should make an evenly match- ed. action-paclcedfcrap.

These of course srr- only a IPW of the smart bouts that the two promoters 'h:i.ve lined up for the inter-City matches that. Island boxing fans will be treated to on Monday night's show. and with this being the first bouts to be staged in a local ring this summer, there will no doubt; be a large crowd of enthusiastic fans on hand to watch tli» hoys in action.

The stage iv all set for the first bout to get underway at 8:30 sharp, promoter mngaphie reports. and with a competent group of of- flcials lined up. the show holds every promise of bcing a. dead ringer for a top-notch program of boxing skill and entertain-meat.

o o o With the league schedule rapid- ly drawing to ii. close, Kinsmen Juniors are faced with a tough task if they are to make a play- off spot but nevertheless the Mc- Neill-coached crew are still in there fighting and they might. ye make the grade despite the fact. the tho odds are heavily against chem at the present. time...
