The Curran and Briggs juniors were the winners of the Island Baseball League by virtue of their 4-3 win over the Junior Abbles but as far as we were concerned every man who came off the field was a tvlnncr.

of them yesterday. .

But that is only a small frac- tion of the story. To appreciate the brilliance of a number of the fielding plays one would have be present to see for ltiinself. There were many hard hit balls that looked like sure hits from where we were sitting iulmost di- rectly behind the plate: but they resultetl in outs as the fieldcrs icut across the infield and outfield lto make sensational plays.

In the opening match, Canada's hopes were pinned on little Roch- on's unorthodox game. Macken was to have started but it was thought that the Americans would beat him badly as they play the same ”blg game" he plays - only better.

into the area known as head of tide are not overly large in size but run more to the half-three quarter pound bracket. However some large fish have been caught well up certain fresh water streams at the head of tldal,rivcrs but such luck is the exception rather than the rule. Anglers are hoping that mid-August will see the tinny schools forging ahead well up in the fresh water zone. For some reason or other the sea trout appear to drift in and out with the tides. A few nice trout have been taken this summer at high tide off the Park breastwork. One morning when the rain was coming down in a steady fine drizzle I was pre- sent when two were landed. They were not large-in the 9-inch class -but were silvery clean and firm as ice. The angler told me that a large trout-12 to H inches long -followed his fly to the surface but backed away without taking the lure. I have always contended that many formations of real tackle-busting sea trout 1 ranging up to six pounds and better for- age off our shores in deep water and seldom. if ever, venture into fresh water.
