'ShoeIoumey To Begin Wednesday

The P. E. I. open horseshoe tournament. at the Brighton Horse- shoe Club is now scheduled to get underway Wednesday evening it was announced last night. Earlier it had been planned to begin the tournament yesterday.

The following players are asked to be at the club house this evening at 7.30:

A. Martin. E. Robin. L. Phllllpl. R. Latter. J. Buote. A. Doyle, D. Garnhuxn. E. Mccourt. E. Brown. G. Richards. G. sleycher, R. Ves- sey. J. Davey. I. Vessey, H. Doucette.

Anyone wishing to enter is asked to attend this meeting.

The Island League itself was to resume play last Sunday when the Abbies and R.C.A.F. were to meet over Memorial Field in a "double- header thal; would have cleared up two previous postponements and give them a clear start on the re- mainder of the regular schedule commencing here and at Summer- side on Wedn-sday. But the two past days of steady rain has wip- ed out the Sunday date, and with a hurricane in the air and pos- sibly more rain, the prospects of getting events run off as schedul- ed don't look too promising at the moment.

It is a stated fact, however, that you can't cross bridges before you get to them, so one might as well take the optimistic view on the situation and jot down what is to take place if conditions are fav- ourable. The Wednesday schedule for the Island League will see the two City entries, Abbies and Fal- cons clash over Mlemorial Field. while the western epresentatives. R.C.A.F. and Curran and Briggs will tangle over the 1atier'.s home diamond.

The Junior Vics and Knights are also expected to tangle some time this week. although the exact date has not been nounced, in that all-important extra game to de- cide which one is the, dual sched- ule winner and earn a bye into the playoff nnals. and the losing team meeting Kinsmen in la best of three semi-ilnal series. it was more or less anticipated that the tilt would get underway this ev- enlng on the Junior League's Tuesday date, but as the situation stands at time of writing. it will be doubtful if the diamond will be in fit condition to play over due to the heavy rain over Sunday and Monday. even if skies are clear by playing time.

The same teams are also sched- uled to meet again on Sunday when the Abbies will have their home game against Falcons at Memorial Field, while the Curran and Briggs nine will be the visit- -ing team over the R.C.A.F. diam- ond. But with a number of post- ponements to be picked up by all teams. It is hard to say just what other impromptu games will be run of! before the week is out. in fact the Sunday dates might eas- ily develop into doubleheader af- fairs-to clean up some of the schedule, which is supposed to end on August 30th.

Senior Golf Tounley Opens On Thursday

s'r.'ANons:ws, N. 3., Aug. 21 -(CP)-More than 13') players are expected here Thursday to open the three-day 76th annual tournament of the Maritime Sen-

Eighteen holes of medal play are scheduled for Thursday with another 18 Friday. An 18-holo team match will be played Satur- day.

Members of the Association are above 50 years of age and be- long to 26 clubs in the Maritime Provinces. The tournament has been held every year since the organization was formed in 1925.

John Cobb of England travelled. faster over land than any human being, 368.85 m.p.h. but failed to set a new worlds autornobile speed record because he couldn't mall: the run due to motor trouble. That was 11 years ago today. Three years ago he set the record by roaring 403 mph. over the meas-

ured mile at Bonneville salt flats Utah.

LONGEST THR0lV

Baseball's longest throw is be- iieved to be that of Sheldon Lejeune, in Cincinnati, 0.. Oct. 12. 1910-425 feet. 9 1-2 inches.

it means that the players partici- pating must use real donkeys as their mode of transportation in carrying out their plays. For in- stance. if the man at bat makm a hit. he must mount a donkey to get from home to first. and will make the circuit of the other has- es in that manner, if he is fort- unate enough to get that far, while the player making the play on the hit ball must also use the same method of recovering the ball to complete the play. 0 I 0

It should be a riot of fun and entertainment. Baseball is tricky enough at any time. but when you have a donkey to negotiate as well, then anything can happen. Those of you have ever ridden .. donkey will fully really: the situation. if you are enough of a cowboy to stay on in the first place. then part of the battle is won. but get- ting ihe beast to where you want to go. when you want to. is an- other thing.

If the particular animal in ques- tion feels the urge to do your bid- ding. then you may get there. but if he doesn't. then no amount of persuasion will do the trick.. if it comes to a showdown. take our word for it-the donkey will have the last laugh.
