‘ Harness racing makes its 1958 start at Charlottetown Driv- ing Park tonight when eight sizzling dashes will comprise the opening night’s card.
It’s been a long time since last September when racing fans got their last taste of competition but it’s race time once again
‘ and the many followers of the game can hardly wait for the word ‘go’. .
There is certainly no scarcity of horses at the local racing oval and patrons are assured of the best of competition at each and every card presented. The opening night pnogtram has all the earmarks of a real th-riller and right off the bat the. bettors are in for a hard time as far as picking a winner is concerned.
1 The Junior Free for All will be the main attraction with six starters ready for the word. Jollity Leight, War Cry Rangecr. Scottish Light, Betty French, Sir Joseph*and,Record Pearl all have the license to grab top honors and you can be sure there’ll be quite a battle in each of the two dashes of this fast class. The A pace and D pace each will have two outings and single dashes of another D pace and a D trot will round out the card. - From here it looks like the best opening card ever presented »,g and certainly should get the nacing season underway in great ’ style. First dash goes at 8 o’clock. t * I

San Francisco Giants lost two heartbreakers to Milwaukee
Bra\.cs'ear1ier this week. .:. it was definitely a tough blow to the transplanted Rigney men a who have been‘ going so good against all comers. Both were one run u‘ecisions——the hardestrkind of defeats-—-and both went against the San Francisco crew. ‘
Scores in these games were 7-6 and 10-9 but the records will show two victories for the world champions and two defeats for the Giants. It's mighty tough when you are in a battle for top spot to get involved in these slugfests and come out on the short end by a single tally. Giants did just that and those two losses could be most important to them and to the Braves coming the final Sunday in September. ;
One thing certainly that the Giants did prove beyond all doubt was that the braves pitching—4rated far superior to that of San Francisco—could be hit. They threw just about every- body at the Giants in an effort—-successful at that-— to gmab both verdicts.
Eleven pitchers were sent in by manager Fred I-Laney as he tried all the tricks he knew. to leave San Francisco with the Braves in first place. And he was successful.
But before the Giants succumber they had a look at and a lot of fun with the following pitchers: Burdette, Conley, Mc- Manon, Johnstone. Rush, Trowbridge. Jay, « Robinson, Johnstone and Conley.
Haneycertainly dti<1n’t s-ave too many, did he?

Chicago Cubs who burned up the'National League for the first three weeks and then cooled off took a tenrific to the offerings of Philadelphia Phillies this week.
In games Tuesday and Wednesday the scored the -amazing
total of twenty three runs as they climbed all over the men of . Mayo Smith. Thursday they had a big six-run fifth inning but finally lost out 7-6 to the Phillies. " There doesn't seem too much the matter with the Cubs’ power when they can blast out 29 runs in three ball games. That kind of woodwork is seldom duplicated by even the most powerful clubs. These men of Bob Soheffing have proved to all that they have the power necessary to stage big rallies and turn almost certain defeats into victories.
Banks, Walls and Moi-yn are still hitting that apple with great authority and pitchers on other National League teams can verify all too well that statement.
They are not pushovers anymore and although they will haird- ty represent the league in the 1958 World Series, chances are
- Right now they are only six games off the pace—-pretty faizr going for a clubfrom which so little was expected. Keep your eye on them.‘

This afternoon Barry’: Lions invade Summerslde airport for fdoubleheader with R.C.A.F. Flyers. .
Lions won their first three games in this year’s loop, down- ing Rollaway Aces, B.I.S. Shamrocks and Junior Basilica Youth Zlub. In there fourth outing they ran up against a much improved Rollaway team that shaded'them‘ 5-4 in a seven inn-iilg thrrillecr.
The Airmen have played five contests and won only two, but the three defeats that they absorbed were all ‘at the hands of the one c1u«b—Junior'B.Y.C., The Airmen beat Rollaway their first ime out and Thursday night hung an 11-3 drubbing on the Shamrocks. .
This afternoon’s games should be hotly contested with both teams throwing their best in an all-out effort to gnab the vic- tories. Lions know a double loss to the Flyers would drop them out of the league lead and they want no part of such goings-on. Fryers can improve their position greatly if they can twice take the measure of the powerful Lions.
Those who can, should sit in*on tfihis doubleheader.

Akins Ca World C
By JACKHAND
ST. LOUIS (AP)— Virgil (Honeybear) Akins, a savage pun-Cher from St. Louis, de- stroyed Vince Martinez with a barrage of fierce blows Friday night to win the vacant world’s welterweight boxing champion- ship on a fourth round technical knockout.
Martinez was down seven times before referee Harry Kess- ler stopped it with the Paterson, N.J., boxer flat on his back.
The attendance was 9,777 and
received $15,000 wi..‘. an option of 30 per cent of the gate,‘ plus $15,000 from televis1'on..
The end came after 52 seconds of the fourth round.
It was a brutal beating that 30- year-old Akins handed the hand-
battle was under way, Martinez was on the deck when he jabbed and Alcins crossed a solid right to the.jaw. Vince bounced up but it was apparent he was badly hurt.
Twice more in that wild first round Martinez was dropped, and twice he fell or was pushed to the apron. ' STAVES OFF DISASTER
Martinez’ legs were wobbly and his face was bloody in the second round as he tried to stave off disaster. Only in the final sec- ond of that round did he get his vaunted jab into action.
The third round had Martinez jabbing and moving away with some of the style he has shown in previous bouts. But Akins, throwing punches. with abandon, landed a clubbing right to the head as Martinez backed off bal- ance and was starting to fall un- der his own steam. The crowd booed as Martinez took another count of three. '
A crashing left to the jaw
upended Martinez again just be- fore the as Akins drove
ptu res rown
home at l e a s t punches.
In the midst of that barrage Vince lost his mouth piece. He was backed against the ropes and hammered without returning a punch. .
Martinez obviously could not take much more. Akins, waiting for the finisher, slipped down on all fours when he hit. a slippery spot in mid-ring.
FINISHING ATTACK
Then Akins cranked up his finishing attack and drove Vince around the ring with a right and a left after a body barrage. Vince just made it this time, taking the nine count. Then came the fin- isher, a savage left hook to the jaw, and down wen‘. Martina once more.
Referee Kessler took one look and stopped the slaughter. It went as a technical knockout be- cause he didnlt bother to count him out. As Kessler came to a neutral corner, he told ringsiders “I could have counted 30.”
Akins had been a 2 tv 1 favorite on his punching power but not even his strongest supporters ex- pected such a performance. Af- ter the opening bell the only thing that was eq-ual about the two fighters was ~ their weigh-t. Each scaled 146% pounds at the noon weigh-in.
This could have very well been the third first round knockout in welterweight title history for Vince was just about able to make it back to his corner after the first.
Akins, 30, has been an incon- sistent performer most of his 66- bout career. However he sud- dtnly hit the ja-ck:pot with two knockouts over Tony DeManco, the ex-vcha»m[p, and ‘a TKO over Isaac Logart that sent him in-to the finals of an elimination tour- nament with Martinez. _
Within the last year Akins has been beaten by both Franz Szu- zina and Gil Turner. Martinez’
