‘Abbies Capture Both En.ds Of Twin Bill In Island Baseball League

Opening the newly organized Is- land Baseball League, the Char- lottetown Abegweits eked out two wins by taking both ends of a doubleheader Sunday afternoon be- fore one of the largest baseball crowds in City League ball. They defeated the Curran and Briggs team from the Western Capital 4-1 behind the_ five-bit twirling of Cyril Smith, diminutive rlghthander of tiie Abbie pitching corps in the first game. In the latter encount- er they spoiled a perfect game for the R, C. A. Ffs ace riqhthander, Pete Mickus, when they scored two unearned runs in the seventh inn- ing. Mickus did not allow a soli- tary bingle in losing the dream game of every pitcher.

In the opener Smith set the visiting western crew down on five hits in recording the first win of the new league. He struck out five and walked one man. His opposing hurler, Cecil Powell, was uched for nine hits while striking out eight and issuing three free passes to the first sack.

The Abbies went to the front in the last half of the opening frame as Buck Whitlock wailoped a long triple down the left field line to drive in Charlie Ryan who had been walked. They added another count- er in the third while the losers scored their only tally in the first of the fourth. The winning mar- gin for the Abbies came in the eighth frame as they scored two runs off the slants of Powell.

Leading sticker for the game was Buck Whitlock \vho walloped a triple and a double LeClair and Irv McKlnnon also had two for four. Alan Stewart hit the longest hit for the losers, a double in the fourth inning.

SECOND GAME

In the second game the Air Force who were, according to re- ports from Summerside, supposed to be weak in pitching, gave every indication that they are definitely a well balanced team, even though they lost n heart-breaker for their stylish righthander, Pete Mickus.

Opposing Mickus was the depend- able Jack "Lefty“ MacAleer who, in chalking up the second Abbie win of the day, allowed but four hits with ‘three coming in the first three innings. From the third frame on it was the best game of baseball played on the Memorial Field diamond since the field was opened last year. MacAleer squelch- ed an Air Force uprising in the last inning when the losers scored their only tally. Freddy Foy, bat- ting for Mickus, hit an infield sin- gle and went to second on Ryan's error. He advanced all the way home when Barron was safe on Whitlocks error, "Moose" Carson was then walked and manager Bob Bayne went in to hit for Pellssier. MacAleer then put out the glowing flame-has he made Bayne pop up to the Abbie hot corner tenant, Joey LeClriir.

Mickus walked two and struck out six, while MacAleer walked three and whiffed six.

Umpires for the first game were, at the plate Jim Hogan, on the bases Jack Kane and Cecil Ward. In the second game Wing Cmdr. \Villis officiated behind the platter while Kane and Ward again hand- led the sacks.

O O O

Neill’s Junior Kinsmen taking a well-earned 5-1 victory over the Knights of Columbus Juniors to

cop off the league opening tilt. O O

The movies shown were ‘Tour Seasons" and a llflI-Sdfll "Leis All sing”. They were shown by Jill Msoflay snd Clive Cudmoro.
