Tl-IE GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWN .

APRIL 13, 1950

Although the weather. at the

moment, is anything but con- ductlve to tennis, the Charlotte- town Tcnnis Club started the wheels of their organization roll- ing here on Tuesday night when some twenty-five members turned out at the annual meeting to elect their officers for the coming sea- son and start to formulate their plans for the summer's activities. . . . .

It was it highly enthusiastic meeting that not. only brought in a. competent slate of new officers, headed by President. Jack Kenny. to handle the affairs and activities of the Club, but brought out many suggestions and proposals for the future betterment of the Club as a. whole.

. . . a

Many of the proposals were widely discussed at the meeting. They covered 11 number of prob- lems and a wide range of activit- ies. indicating a keen Interest to- ward the development of junior players and beginners, and a de- sire to put tennis back in the sporting limelight it enjoyed here prior to the war years.

0 O I O

Experiencing a none too bumper season financially last year. due mainly to large expenditures necessary to put the courts in good playing condition and a comparat- ively small membership over prov- ious years to cover the extra. cost, the immediate problem at hand is the raising of sufficient funds to launch the season successfully this year. steps have already been taken. however. to meet this prob- lem. and an initial start will be made this week end, when the ladies of the club will hold a cake sale Saturday afte:nc.on. .

A full scale drive will also be launched in tho near future for a large active membership which will not only help the club financ- ially, but further its appeal to the sporting public as a centre of keen competatlve play and social activ- ity. which is the prime purpose of the organization.

With sporting activities at a premium since the hockey season wound up, basketball, about the only active team sport on the go locally ‘at the present time. is nevertheless holding the spotlight and interest of sporting fans, and judging from present plans. will come up with some good competi- tion on Friday and Saturday of this week.

STANLEY SPOB.'l'l2NG CLUB

Sir, -— The previous weather and Ice conditions for the closing out Horse Races on the Stanley speed- way, proved a. handicap to all con- cerned. Their score card for that afternoon sport was considered to be the best of the season as their purses for all four classes were made up from the generous dona- tlons of our Federal and losnl members and candidates together with many nice prize from the merchants and business men from all the surrounding districts. Those prizes and purses were a special hang-over from the Goodwill race meet last year on Sunny Green Acres. Now as the boys with the speed are anxiously waiting for Mother Earth to steam out he: winter's dampness. with a shift to lighter footwear they'will gather again to the gang of the bell. They were delightfully impressed when they heard that Sunny Acres has joined the National Trotting As- sociation. lts proprietors, Mr. Math- ieson and Son. have arranged for the latest correct measurements and engineers degrees on curves and home stretch. These essential things and a modern up to date grand-stand will be erected under rigid inspection. This racing oval has at the present some very out- standing features. Its location and layout was supervised by the noted horseman, Harry O'Brien, Alberton. P.E. 1., and without the slightest exaggeration he has placed it am- ong the best in the Marltlmcs. its birthplace in this fair Province leaves it just half way to every- where when this extra work is completed and the ground firmed and finished. Those up-to-data atr- conditloned barns may be taken over by two of our local horse trainers and fitters in the persons of Mr. Blair Andrew, New Glasgow Mills. and Mr. Max Ferguson of Stanley Bridge, These men are ex- ceptionally well known throughout this land for their skill and know- ledge and their admiration of their horses. In a true sense actlon speaks louder than words. Mr. Fer- guson has wtntered. broken and jogged two nice Budlongs from Margaret Jean for Mr. A.B. Cut- cllfle, Ch'town. The filly "You'll See" goes away on high with the best of manners, ease and action and should figure real good in the futurlty class this year.

The younger brother, "Max's Best". is a chip off the old\ block and will sure have I bright future for any prospective owuar. This

- training centre should be of great

interest to the intelligent speed breeders of this province. and from an economical standpoint as the highest quality of food and bedding is produced by Mathiuon and Sons. less the transport charges which is the spotlight of the pres- ent day problem.

Sees Detroit Tigers As Dark Horses Of League

By Joe Baelchler

NEW YORK. April 12 -—(.AP) — Detroit’; improved Tigers are the “dark horses" selection to upset the favored Boston Red Sox and dethrone the defending champion New York Yankees in the Ameri- can League baseball pennant race.

The odds-makers have made the powerful Red Sox a 7-to-5 favorite with the proud Yankees a. second choice at 2 1-2 to 1. but neither possesses as strong a pitching staff as the 4-to-1 underdog Tigers.

Pitching is not the only Detlol asset. The outfield is the envy of the league. Tigers own the best third-baseman in the major; and one of the smartest second-but men. In Red Rolfe"t.hc‘y’ have an alert and aggressive manager who did a tremendous job last year, his first with the club.

The Yankees. because» of Joe DiMaggio and Joe Page. a fine pitching staff and good reserved. should give the Tigers a battle.

The Red Sox. man for man. have the best front-line team in base- ball, but they still haven't adequ- ate reserve strength. The pitching except for Mel Parnell and Ellis Kinder. is uncertain.

Cleveland, no worse than last year_ff only by the acquisition of Luke Easter, slugging rookie right- flelder, should finish fourth. Pitch- ing. once Connie Mack‘: forte. will prevent Philadelphia Athletics from breaking into the first divis- on.

Chicago appears to be the bed of the remaining trio. Washington is the worst. That leaves St. Louis Browns in seventh place.

The probable order of finish:

1-Detroit. 2——NeIw York. 3- Boston. 4-Clevelan . o—Phlla- delphla. s—Chlcago. —-Gt. Louis. ll -—Wa.shlngton.

The Tigers finished fourth last year. 10 games behind Yankees. However, they played the best baseball in the league over the final six weeks.

The Yankees, Red Sox and find- ians have made no authentic moves to bolster their clubs since the close of last season. In con- trust, the Tigers came up with two neat winter strokes that label them as the team to be feared. They acquired second-basunan Gerry Prlddy from the Browns for $100,000 and first-baseman Dick Kryhoskl from Yankees Wakefield. They also pidiad up Charlie Keller, the former Yutes powerhouu. to serve as find: hitter and reserve outfielder.

Prlddy and xryhoskl strengthen the two weakest 1940 spots.

The or outfield trio of Hoot lvers. Johnny (froth and We Warts may» be the League's absol- utn best. None will cover more ground. '~

It is on the month of the mound corps that the Tigers are expected to make a spirited - bid

for their first fl 1015. In rlshthandera Vlrsll mob. Art nnutosman. Huomlnson and lsfthandors I-Isl Ncuhouur and Ted Gray, the Bvnfils have I five u ed in tho Leaguo. Together on Iron 77 III!!! III! your.

Big Demand In Toronto For Hockey Tickets

TORONTO, April 12 — (GP)- Toronto fans will continue to swarm out and sea Stanley Cup hockey, even after the hometown Maple Leafs are knocked off the championship trail.

That became evident today when Maple Leaf Gardens posted a “standing room only" sign for the gamés“ Detroit ‘ Re'd"Wings and New York Rangers will play here Thursday and Saturday nights in their best-of-seven Stan- ley Cup final.

The Rangers, who eliminated Montreal Canadiens 4-1 in their best-of-seven semi-final round. do- cided to play two of the final games in Toronto because the cir- cus has taken over their home rink, Madison Square Garden.

The Red Wings reign as favor- ites in the series, largely because of their 4-1 victory in the opener of the final series Tuesday night. But the Rangers say things will be different from here in. '

The Detroit club is staying in Hamilton and -coach Tommy Ivan said today that left wing Ted Lindsay. the National Hockey League's scoring champion during the scheduled season. will be back in the line-up tomorrow night.

52. The same was played on the P.W.C. auditorium floor before a large crowd of fans and was full of action from whistle to whistle.

High scorer for the locals was Howard Glover who notched 14 points before fouling out of the game in the second half. Charlie Hlne and Barry MacMlllan each had a dozen for the losers. Outstanding In a winning cause for the Caps was the defensive work of Shirley Kehoe. Kehoc racked up eight points in addi- tlon to being the outstanding defen- sive star of the encounter. Donnie Burgess played a good defensive game for the losers.

In the first half of the game the losers were out in front bl’ flve points midway during the canto but had to yield to_smooth working Caps who went on a scoring spree to lead at the half. They opened it fast in the second stanza and the winners went to work on the losers as they pass- ed long and often to break away from the fighting locals.

The visiting team were high In

of both referees Earl Nicholson and Jack MacAndrew who turned In a top display of officiating dur- ing the game.

Coach of the visitors Arnold Fraser and manage Howard Mac- Ewlng also were complimentary on the local team's performance. Both agreed It was the best game of their tour. and ludsins bv....t.h.e_ cheering of the fans In attendance, it really went over big with them too.
