(C. P. By Gwlrdiams Special

lie)

GLACE BAY, N. S., Sept. T--'-S0uth_paw Copie LeBlanc pitched Yarmouth Gateways to a 4-0 victory over Domin- ion Hawks today in the first game of a three-out-of-five series for the amateur base- ball championship of Nova Seotia,

Achieving his 15th straight win of the season and his 28th in two years of cam- paigning in Nova Scotia, compared with two defeats, the master moundsman didn't grant a solitary hit in the first seven innings.

Veteran Gets First Hit

He would have turned in the first no-hit no-run performance in the history of Nova Scotla playoffs but for a veteran who started his dia- mond career long before LeBlasic was born. Ralph Hall, 43 year old catcher and outfielder for the Hawks, pinch-hitting for Campbell in; futile effort to break through the mighty barrier, punched the first ball pitched to him into right field for a clean single. and Billy Boone slammed another one-beset s few minutes later for the two hits the Hawks collected in the game.

. Btu-leg 0st Fourteen Yin-mouth Batters i »But LeBlanc and his mates had to be good because another port slder, "Smokey" Joe Kelly, with a performance that would have meant victory almost any other time, need- ed only the support of his mates b0 make it a. real battle. He grant- cd eight hits but only one of the ibur Yarmouth runs were earned and in addition he sent no less than 14 visitors back to the bench via the strlkeout route.

Holly Horton was the all-round [tar 0f the day. His fielding for ‘he Gateways was brilliant and he pilnched out three doubles in five trips Wthe plate to top off his de- fensive performance.

Get Runs in Second and Third

Gateways scored all their runs 81 two early innings. Nate Bain started the second with a single to right. LeBlanc, attempting to suc- rtflce, got as far as second and his mate to third when Kelley threw his bunt wild to first. On Boyd's grounder to Gouthro. Bain scored, the third basemans throw to the plate being just a little slow for

"jlbKinnon to make the play.

' Then Deveau fanned but Mc- Kinnon dropped the ball. He threw 1o, first for a put-out and the re- 11ml P98 from MbMullln was not hat enough to catch LeBlanc, who

The Nova. Scotia Provincial Ex- hibition which closed at Halifax on Monday, Labor my. Sebtembi-‘f 3rd, was the most successful from a harness horse racing standpviflii of any since the Great War. There were eighteen classes raced in $119 six days racing, one of these being for three-year-olds and the others for aged trotters or pacers. Exclud- ing the three-year-old class which was also excluded for statistical purposes in connection with the Provincial Exhibition at Charl~‘te- town, we find that the fastest heat of the seventeen classes was the 2.06%’. record breaking mile of Toll Gate on the final day of the meet- ing, and the slowest the third heat of the 2.25 Trot Maritime Bred- 2.21.

There were 52 heats trotted or paced. Two dead heats were re- cm-ded during the meeting and in one of them. the third of the 2.15 Trot, three horses dead heated. a very unusual occurrence-Boliv- rood Lee. Bonnie Cameron and Frank J. Ortolan.

The average time of the 52 heats trotted and paced was 2-13. There were 20 heats trotted. the average time being 2.1514. There were 32 heats paced, the average time be- ing 2.11%.

Just before we get off the subject of statistics regarding Halifax, X11113‘ we remind you that probably owing to better condiilons and faster classes the speed performances at the Provincial Exhibition, Char- lottetown. were of a faster average.

Yanks Gain But-Half a Game as They Lose to Chicago White Sox.

(A.P. By Guardian's Special Wire) NEW YORK. Sept. 7-Aidfcl by Jimmie F‘oxx‘s 41st home run of the season and Bob JOlIIISZIYS 30th Philadelphia Azhlctics defeated the League leading Detroit Tigers in both games of a doubleheader at Detroit today. The scores of the two games were identical. 5-4.

It was the first time lhs season Detroit had lost. both games of a bargain bill but the damage to the Tigers’ pennant changes was slight, as the second-place Yankees lost to Chicago, they gained cnly a half game, remaining five behind De- troit.

Foxxs blow was the clinching hit of the first game. It came in the third inning and drove Tommy Bridges to the showers after he had been nicked for three scores in the second. Bing Miller provided what proved to be the winning run when he rapped Luke Hamlin for a. hom- er in the seventh. The Tigers came back to drive Roy Mahaffey to cover with a. three run burst 1r. the ninth but Bill Dlelrlch stopped them short of a. tic.

Joe Cascdrclla. outlasted three Detroit hurlers in the aftenplece, giving only six hits while the A's got twice that number, Johnson's circuit swat came off "General" Alvin Crowdel". who started, and started a two-run rally that sent him to the showers and won the game.

Yankees Lose Big Chance

The last-place Chicago White Sox injected themselves into the American League pennant race far enough to deprive New York Yan- kees of a big chance to gain on De- troit's league leaders. The Sox pull- ed out a 6 5 vicforv over the Yanks in the ninth inning when Man- ager Jimmy Dykes doubled to bring home Luke Apnlillg from first.

As Detroit lost a doubleheader, the Yanks picked up :. half game. Had they won it. would have been 1 1-2 and they would have been ‘only four behind.

Lefty Gomez. who took the slab in the eighth was the victim of

IO-game winning streak.

Senators Divide With Browns

Washillgtolrs crippled Senators divided a doubleheader with the re-vamnccl St. Louis Browns at St. Louis, the Browns dropped the first contest 4-7 and winning the second in 12 innings 3-2.

Manager Hcrnsby moved Bcjlna. an infielder, and Rollie Hemslcy, a catcher. to outfield prsts.

Bejina hit safely four times in the two games and l-lemsley lied the score in the ninth inning of the nightcilvp with a home run.

It was the locals’ third

It was a tough decision for the Westerners to lose. They accounted‘ for the only earned run of the game in the fifth frame when Jimmie Dodds connected with one of Connors‘ fast ones to drive it far over the right field fence for a homer, And for a. while it looked as if the counter would be suffi- cient a; Wilson, the Summersldc hurler, and Connors, Abegweit moundsman, were hooked up in a tight hurling duel with honors about even.

Bradley, starting the Abegwelt sixth, was safe on Schurmalfs er- ror and then went to second on a passed ball- McEaohem was safe on an infield hit, Bradley stopping at third but scoring a moment later when a, pitch got away from the Sumrrierside catcher.

Whitlock flied out to Ward in ctm the eighth. Power lined n single to center, stealing second on the first pitch. Doyle flied to Mill- man for the second out. Connors hit to Schurman who played Power at third but both runners were safe as Dodds dropped the throw- McNeill, with a count of two and two lined one to the right field fence. the blow going for a double as the fielder tripped going after the ball. both runners scoring eas- gily. McNeil was out at third as he tried to stretch the hit to a triple.

The visitors battled back gamely to stay in the running but Connors was too good in the pinches. In the eighth they put runners on first and second with none out but the Ab/bie hurler forced the next two batters to pop up and then grit pinch-hitter Daley on strikes. Again in the ninth they threaten- ed and had the tieirlg runs on the sacks. Ward singled but was out at second on Crossmans grounder to first. Dodds flied to Doyle in cen- ter, Watterworth pinch-hitting for Schurman was held to a single by a brilliant stop 0i his hard hit ball by McEachern and then for the second time in the game a pinch- hitter failed as Bernard missed a low. curving third strike for the final out.

Features of the game were Mill- man's spectacular fielding in left, Schurman: fast play at the plate on McEachei-rrs bunt. throwing out Bradley, and McEacherns great stop of Wattwworths drive in the ninth
