Now that the smooth working

Knights of Columbus Junior boll club have conquered all fields in Provincial and City competitions, their next step along the line will be their quest of the N. B.-P. E. I. Junior title when they journey to Dicppc, N. B. this Saturday where they will meet the Dieppc Cl!‘- inals in the openingt game of a best of ihrce series for the two- Provincc title, and will play host to the New Brunswick champions back here at Memorial Field the next day where the remaining games of the series will be play- ed. o o o

1n view of the fact the Knights lost out on boili ends of a double- header against the Cardinals in exhibition encounters at. Dieppe back in July by only slight mar- gins of 4-2 and 3-0, it would seem that the locals stand a pretty good chance of holding their own against the New Brunswickers, now that they have had a suc- cessful full season of play under their belts since they met last. But of course the Cardinals have this same benefit to their credit also, which should make for a highly interesting series which can be expected to produce l high calibre of junior ball.

O O O

The Knights. however, will have one slight advantage. which, if they make a good showing against the Cards in the opening game could mean a lot when the chips rare down, and that is having the last two games, if it goes that far, on their home diamond. Although it would only be guessing to try and predict what the final out- come will be, there is one thing that local supporters can depend on and that is that the Ryan-coach- ed Knights will make it a batilc all the way, and won't quit until the last ball is tossed.

O O O

1n connection with the final game of the Junior series held here on Sunday, in which the

Knights took a 7-2 victory over the Summerside Sheen and McIn- nis team, to cop off the Provin- cial title. there was considerable argument over the legality of awarding the game to the Knights after seven and a half innings of play, when the game. which had

gotten away to a late start, had reached the six o'clock deadline for Sunday play.

o o

The Summerside stand in the argument was that another game should be played when the game didn't. go nine innings, while the local view was that they were quite within their rights of taking the game on the basis of the rul- ing that four and n half innings constitutes an official contest when a game has been called by rain, darkness or other factors that pro- hibit the continuing on of the game, and were in possession of the lead It that time.

I O O

There appeared to bo some lack of mutual agreement concerning any definite game ruling u to whether the game had to go l full nine innings, with the Sum- merside management maintaining that they had decided that it had to go the full route. but there seemed to be no evidence of this agreement with the local manage- ment who apparently had no knowledge that there was any special ruling made prior to the start of the game, and in order to be effective, should have.

O O O

Although this column has no intention of passing its judgment one way or another, it does feel that if Summerside had insisted on it being a full nine innings

contest, they should never have taken to the field in the first place, but have asked for l post- ponement of the game to n fu- ture date, as they must have ‘been aware of the fact, that when the game didn't get underway until after four o'clock, that there would be little hope of being able to get iii nine innings of bull by the six o‘clock deadline. O O O

However, this is neither here not there, as the issue was finally decided when the presiding um- pire at the plate, Freddy Foy of Summerside, who heard both sides of the situation, awarded the game to the Knights of Columbus team after he had given considera- tion to the arguments of _botl1 team managements. This column is inclined to be in accord with that judgment, as it feels that most everyone will agree, that Foy, who presided over the lost two games. acted in I fair and unbiased manner in all his judg- ments, that to this column’: view- point were unquestionably jult in all cases,

Jackie Robinson's Batting Lead Melts To 3 Points

NEW‘ YORK, Sept. l9 — (AP)- Jackie Robinsons lead in the Na- tional League bailing race. which once measured some 35 points, now has melted to three points over runner-up Enos Slaughter of St. Louis Cardinals.

With the Dodgers and Cards engaged in a rough-arid-tumble pennant scrap, Slaughter continues to hack away at. mark of the Brooklyn second-baseman who has set the pace for months.

Averages including Sunday's games showed Robinson hitting .344 to .341 for Slaughter. Stan, Musial of St. Louis, third in the l racc. lraiicd Robinson by l2 points at .332.

Back of the first three there ls a 22-point drop to Bobby Thom- son of New York. fourth at .310. Ted Kluszctvski of Cincinnati is fifth at .308.

Ralph Kiner of Pittsburgh, hot. on the trail of Babe Ruth's all- time homer record, hit three more during the week to make his total 49. He also gained ground on Rob- inson in iho runs-baticd-in race. Robinson still leads with 120 but Kiner has 118.

Robinson leads in total hits, 192 and stolen bases. 32, he is tied with Musial and Slaughter with 12 triples and all even with Del En- nis of Philadelphia with 36 doub- les. Pee Wee Reese, his Brooklyn

shortstop team-mate has scored the most runs, 123.

Ted Wilks, St. Louis‘ chunky relief ace, still tops the pitchers

with 11-3 record. The strikeout leadership still belongs to Warren Spahn of Boston with 134.

MONTREAL, Sept. l8 - (c?) _ The National Hockey League 1949- 50 schedule establishes an innova- tion whereby n team remains over in a. city to play the same club after an interval of one or more nights.

This occurs six times 1n the '10- game schedule for each club, step- Ded up from last. season's 60, and the increased playing dates also mean an earlier start than and a finish as late as any N111, schedule has ever wound up.

By H. L. Jones Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON, Sept. 19 —(CP)

Jack Solomons. the British boxing promoter, moaned today that de- valuation of the pound has put at least a temporary crimp in his campaign for a British ring reviv- a

Solomon: has been waging a private war with United States promoters to attract North Ameri- can talent here and put on a stack of “world championship" bouts in just about every weight class. But for the moment, he said, he doesn't know where he is.

He admitted that devaluation may mean a temporary stop on further contracts with American and Canadian name fighters un- less a way can be found to over- come the difference in the value of purses caused by devaluation.

He said he can't afford to go on forever making up the difference himself, but that he'll stand by contracts already made. These in- voive such men as L1‘l Arthur King of Toronto, the Empire light- weight champion, and American heavyweights Lee Savold and Joey Maxim,

Solomons is just back from a trip to North America. He has ilkned King to "fight either Billy Thompson, the British lightweight titlist, or Toronto's Solly Cantor. Cantor has been around Britain for some months and has beaten

all the top British lightweights, including Thompson. Devaluiition will make no

change in Savold’s contract for a spring bout against Bruce Wood- cock in Solomon's version of a "ivorld heavyweight champion- ship." Neither will it seriously af- fect arrangements for a fight be- tween Maxim and Freddie Mills in London in November. 1n the Maxim-Mills fight. the Briton’; world lightheavywelght title goes on the block.
