KANSAS CITY, Aug. 29—(AP)—- Baseball's big question today is: Can the New York Yankees stag- ger homo with the American Lea- gue pennant even with Tommy Henrich out of action? a

The versatile outfielder-first baseman removed himself for the rest oi the season by banging in- to the right field wall at Chicago yesterday, trying to catch Charley Kress‘ double.

Henrlch hit .294, ha: 22 homers and 7G runs batted in. and has de- livered in the clutches to win many an important ball same for the Yankees this season.

Solemn conferences were held hero today between Man!!!" Casey Stengel and Yankee execu- tives to see what can be done to save the situation. The Yankees are here for an exhibition game with their Kansas City farm team.

l-lenrich's second and third lum- bar vertebrae processes were frac- tured in the mishap, and his back was put in a cast. Patients with this type of spinal injury are us- unliy kept in a cast for six weeks -—nnd six weeks from now the \'\'nrld Series will lust about be CV61‘.

Manager Stengel said that when (he 25-pla_ycr limit is lifted next Thursday, the Yankees will rush in reinforcements.

“\V(> will call in an outfielder, a first baseman. and a pitcher." he said, adding that he did not know yet who these would he-

Coming through with their third

straight victory in the current Cityplsyoff series by taking a close 5-4 decision over the Victor- ias at Memorial ficld last. even- ing. it. looks like the Charley Ryan coached Knights of Columbus jun- ior baseball machine is going to be hard to stop rolling on to the City Junior Baseball League championship. a

With only one game left. to play in the best of seven series, unless the Molnnis coached Vics can call a halt to their winning ways in the next. encounter, the Knights are headed for a straight four-game series victory and the City crown, and will herald Ryan's second 00n- sccutive year as coach of the‘ championship squad. i

. . . Anything can happen yet. how- ever, as the Vics were in the game every inch of the way and were a threat from the start of the game when they took a one run lead in the first innings and enlarged upon it even further in the second when they rang up two more to take a formidable looifing 3-0 advantage. . .

But it. was in the last half of the second that the Knights also exhibited the power they have been showing all season. when they broke through the Vic defensive to rack up three runs and tie up the score. Both teams turned in the best performances in the series so far, and for the remaining five innings it was nip-anci-tuck all the way. They both split s. run apiece in the fifth to still keep the score deadlocked, but the Knights gain- ed the edge in the final frame, when keeping their opponents scoreless in the top half, a. ground ball through short brought in the winning run from second.

. . .

At Memorial Field on Sunday afternoon, one of the largest turn- outs of fans. if not the largest this . season, saw a determined A-bbiei squad chalk up a 6-1 victory over the Summcrsidc Curran and Briggs nine in the second game of the playoff finals for the Island Physical Fitness Baseball Cham- pionship. The victory tied up the series at one. game apiece, the Western squad having taken the opening game of the series last Wednesday at Summerslde by a 5-3 decision.

. . .

It. was-s cracker-Jack encounter» all the way, with both teams turning in top-notch performan- ces which gave the huge crowd a real afternoon of baseball enter- tainment, and giving every 4mm. ation that the remaining games of the series will feature smart. ball and a really nip-ond-tuck race for the league pennant.

. .

when the baseball season here nearing its close with only a few playoff schedules remaining to be wound up and the ushering in of the month of September bringing with it a "back to college" move- ment. it won't. be long before the local sporting trend will be con- centrating on football, with the general sports chatter in various quarters airing its views on the Dfolilects of this year's "pig-skin pastime“.

O I

Just what m. mi with hold m the way of competition this year for teams and spectator: alike is hard to predict at the moment, but. it la a cinch that we'll be see- ing the red and white Jerseys oi Saint Dunstan’: University ming- led with the red and blue of Prince of Wales College in some more of the tough gridiron battles that were seen here last season.

I O O

In addition to the local college frays. the SDIU. varsity squad. will no doubt be coming buck ski again this year in Maritime corn- petition, and if the contests this year are anything like the ones lest season when the Saints bat- tled their way through a rugged seria with U.N.B. arid Mt. A. to capture the N.B.-P.E.I. title only to go down to defeat against 8t. P2X. for the Maritime Intercolleg- iate title, there should be plenty of exciting games to look forward to in the gridiron sport.

n . .

There willslso be some stout battles in the inter-scholastic brac- ket. if the season's pattern holds true to former year: when the Queen Square. West Kent, and Bummer-side High ‘ ‘ squads will tangle with one snothq in quest of the Provincial inter-scho- lastic crown, which has always been a highlight feature of the football season here.

DETROIT, Aug 29—(AP)—Earl Mack, assistant manager of Phil- adelphia Athletics, said today that veteran pitcher Phil Msrchlldon is far from through. It was rumored that the Penetangutshene, Ont., hurlei-‘s career depended on his showing yesterday in the Ameri- can League game which Philadel- phia lost H to Detroit. "Man chlldon showed a big improve-

THE GUARDIAN, CHARLOTTETOWN

Fine Racing Card Lined Up For Re-Opening Of St. Peter’s Race Track

The scene of many brilliant harness racing duels in the days when it was flourishing St. Pet- er's Race Track comes back to the Island racing scene tomorrow afternoon when four classified races in addition to two dash events will mark the re-opening of this historic racing place.

Much interest is evident among the fans over tomorrow's card and indications point strongly to an overflow crowd being present for the event. Completely renov- ated the plant will present a much different appearance from the one that ceased to function a number of years back. Nothing has been overlooked in the remodelling process and the entire setup now compares favorably with any in the Province.

The racing should be equal to anything witnessed here during

this great season. All the top notch Island performers will be there in force in addition to oth- era from mainland points and the duels of speed should produce close, exciting finishes with the

issue in doubt right up to the final few feet.

The first heat will be sent away at 2 o'clock sharp. The

starting gate will be used, pari mutuel will be in vogue and in addition meals will be served on the grounds.

And as an added feature driv- ers and caretakers will have extra incentives to win for, prizes of twenty five dollars each will be awarded to the drivers driving the fastest miles trotting and pac- ing with the caretakers of the horses receiving awards of $12.50 each.

-Pushing across an unearned tally in the last; half of the seventh, the Knights of Columbus Juniors took a strangle-hold on the City Junior Crown when they toppled the Vic Juniors 5-4 in the third game of the series. The game played on the Memorial Field diamond last night was a thriller all the way with the Knights being forced to come from behind an early Vic lead.

The Vics went. to the front as they tallied the opening counter in the top half of the first frame on a. walk, a sacrifice, and an error. They built their lead to three runs in the second when Ev Reagan's single into centre field got away from the outer gardener.

In the bottom half of the second the KC team evened the count at three all as they scored three runs with two out. Two singles followed by two infield outs put men on second and third. Howatt then stepped up to the plate and sent a liner into left field. The ball went; over the fieldrr's head as he came in too far and went into the woods for a home run.

In the fifth both teams split a run to still remain in a deadlock with the score 4-4. The Vics coun- tered their fourth marker when Trainor tripled after McCallum had doubled. In the KC half of the same inning MacKenzie trip- led to open the frame. Hennessey then flied out to left field, but the relay got away from the first base- man, covering home, and Mac- Kenzie scampered across the plate with the tying run.

The winning tally came in the last half ofzthe seventh. With two down and a runner on second, Murphy’! ground ball got away from MacDonald at. short and went into right field with Mac- Lean scoring on the play.

Merlin MacKenzie and Ev Beg- gan were the starting pitchers and both went the route. Besgpn made his third appearance in the series and again pitched creditable bail but. poor fielding on the part oi

The post mortem on the con- vincing defeat oi the Curran 8.: Briggs team Sunday at the hands of the Charlottetown Abegweits re- veals the following: Lefty Mc- Aleer after showing signs in for- mer gamm this year of being a bit over the hill demonstrated to the Summerside fans’ dissatisfaction that he is still the old Lefty Mc- Aleer who gives up base hits just like a two-year old kid gives up lolly-pops. McAleer ivas never tougher than Sunday and ii’ he cm continue to pitch with the same authority in the other play-off games the Summerside batters are

going to ‘have to be better than good. O O O The post mortem also reveals:
