Baseball Deal sends Mize To N.Y.Yankees

NEW YORK. Aug. 2'1 -(AP) - New York Giants today sold their sluggim flrat-ibaaeman. Johnny Mize. to New York Yankees for an undisclosed sum.

Eddie Brannick, secretary of the Giants, announced that the trans- action followed a meeting of the high brass of the two clubs. Bran- nlck said the 36-year-old veteran National-League: was waived out of the senior circuit. Mize has nev- er played in the American league.

Nfize will Join the Yankees im- mediately. He is scheduled to leave tonight for Detroit. where the Yankees open a two-game series to- morrow.

The deal was completed at a meeting of Dan Topping and Del Webb, co-owners of the Yankees. and Horace Stoneham. owner of the Giants.

The left-harsdod slugger, slow of foot, hit 18 home ruins for the Giants this season but has been benched a couple of time: for light hitting.

Mize tied Pittsburgh's Ralph Kin- er for the National League home- run crown the last two seasons. I-ie hit. 40 last. year and 51 in 1947.

Mize led the National League in home runs in 1939 and 1940 While playing for St. Louis Cardinals. He socked 2B in 1939 when he won the batting championship with a .349 mark and cracked 43 the following season.

Robinson Skids In Batting Race

NEW YORK, Aug. 22——(AP)- Jackie Robinson. hampered by a sore left leg, skidded six points in his drive to win the National Lt-zigtie batting honors during the lust week but still leads his near-

‘est rival by 33 points.

The Dodger second basemarfs slump at the plate is reflected in his team's slide to second place in the torrid pennant race with the St. Louis Cardinals. Despite his throbbing leg. Robinson has con- tinued to play. He has played in every Dodger game this year.

Robinson's average now is .350, compared to the .364 of a week ago. The figures include games through Sunday.

Enos Slaughter of the league leading Cards is the batting run- ner tip with an average of .325.

' RMI He“ 911D Sunday. H" .

Racing resumes on the Island circuit Wednesday afternoon when

four well-filled, evenly-matched classes will be run off at Mont- ague race track, the scene of many thrilling racing battles in the past, and which is expected to add to it's reputation tomor- row in the close competition and blanket finishes that are bell] expected. O O O

The rabid Island fans certainly. had a full load of racing during the Old Home Week racing pro- gram but notwithstanding are expected to be on hand in record numbers for the third meeting to be held at Montague this season. If tomorrow's program comes near equalling the previous two then the fans will be well paid for their attendance. I O O O

The Old Home Week program, now history, lived up to all ex- pectations and although the wea- therman stepped into the picture towards the end, nevertheless he failed to dampen the spirit of the huge crowds thSt took in both afternoon and evening programs. The enthusiasm which always reaches its highest peak here dur- ing the annual event was just as keen on closing night as it had been on opening night and, taken all in all, the fans were well sai- istted with the 1949 show.

O O O

As is often the case in a show the size of the Old Home Week program, some of the classes fail- ed to furnish the stiff competit- ion expected but more than mak- ing up for these setbacks were the many other thrilling duels witnessed, with some of them com- ing from unexpected quarters as “outsiders“ came through with blazing bursts of speed to upset the "dopesters" and at the same time earn about an even break on

the entire program. O O I The officials conducting the

racing came through with up-to- the-minute performances in each an every instance. There were no long delays; the fields were got- lffi flwfii! in good order and pre- siding Judge Dr. F. C. Dougan, ruled strictly but fairly all the way ‘in enhancing his reputation as being one of the best presiding judges in the Dominion. O O l

The "Doctor" is an equally cap- able startcr also, and he certainly proved his worth Saturda after- noon whcn after the sta g gate had been damaged he took over and from that point on ran ofi’ the remainder of the classes with- out a hitch, invariably getting hi; fields away strung in a straight line across the track.

O

Saturday also marked the firs: time in this writer's memory that a horse had been ordered out of a race. It happened to Elsie R." when, after acting up and throw- ing her driver, Dr. Dougan, the presiding judge, ordered her from the track. Immediately following this incident the capable official took over in his dual capacity as presiding judge and starter and performed his double duties very efficiently.

O I I

The Thunder Bay branch of the Amateur Athletic Union of Can- ada announced recently that the British Empire Games trials and the Dominion of Canada Amateur Boxing Championships are being held in Port Arthur, Ontario, on October 6, 7 and 8th.

With interest increasing rather than diminishing among the fans and with the ‘trotters andpacers now at the peak of their form, a total of 40 horses are znpected to take the word in the harness racing meeting being held at Montague tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon. As has been the case all season long on the Island circuit, compet- ition is expected to be very keen with blanket finishes and upsets likely to dot the card throughout.

Scott are the bearcats of the racing ovals that will be opposing each other and be- fore a winner is decided fans in attendance should get many a thrill as they battle each other all the way from wire to wire.

The other three classes are equally promising looking. All evenly matched they should pro- duce battles just. as good as any witnessed here so far this season and it mtust be remembered there have been many, many sensation- al duels over Island traoiks since the season got underway at River- side track late last June.

Tomorrow's program will get un- derway at 2 o'clock sharp. Photo Finish and starting gate will be in use. together with win and place betting on the pari-mutuois.

Sport Echoes

From Prlnoe Bounty

latest report has it that Gordie Maoliay’: back injury will k891i him out of the Island finals and this is pretty grim news for Sum- merside fans. Miacliay‘: big bat will certainly be missed by the Curran and Briggs team. He fin- ished the season with the second highest batting average. Glen Mathis-son of the Abegwc-lts being the only batter ahead of him.

The n.c.ii.l='°. Xu'stsi-s us out of competition for the Island championship. Like Charles I at the time of his execution. in going into oblivion they added to. ra- ther than subtracted from their fame. The Flyers never played bet- ter ball than they did on Sunday against the Abegweits. They waged a stirring battle all the way and made tho powerful Charlottetown team know they were in a ball game.

O O O

The R..C.A.F. team has picked up three men recently that has im- proved the club a lot. This trio is Frank St. John at first base, De- Long at third base and Leo Dom- broskl in the outfield. St. John and Dombroski are dangerous hit- ters as well a-s smooth fields-rs, and DeLong though not quite so pot- ent with the waggon tongue is as smooth a third baseman as there ls in the league. He has a peg to first that ls a relish‘ l" ‘he we and we liked the way he played the Charlottetown runner sliding into his base in Sunday's game. He held his glove at‘. the edge of the sack and let. the runner slide into it in true Big League fashion. The base Judge called the runner safe, but that didn't stop us from ad- miring the professional way De- Long went about his job.

Although Glen Matheson show- ed the spectators a convincing dis- play of his batting prowess in Sun- day's game and clinched the league batting championship, it was really Joey LeClaii- on the attack and Buck Whltlook on the defence that upset the apple cart for the alr- force. LeCInlr was unadulterated poison to the cause of the RC.- A.F‘. whenever he came to the plate with men riding the sacks. He drove a runner home in the fourth inning, batted the tying run across in the fifth and sent the winning run across the plate in the tenth. Whitiock made a mis- cue in the second inning but he foiled Baron's bid for an RBI in the second, made a nice catch of Fey's liner in the fourth when a hit would have meant _two runs. and robbed Dombroski of a hit that might have scored two runs in the tenth. All the other Abbles were in there doing their bit for victory but Joey LcClalr and Buck Whitlock were the two villains in the play as far as blasting the hopes of the R..C.A.F. was con- cerned.
