At 75th Provincial Rifle Ass"n Meeting

After eight years of inactivity [us to World War II the Prince pdlward Island Provincial Rifle Association renewed its activities yesterday morning when at a o'clock the 70th annual meeting was ushered in under favorable conditions. The range was in per- lem. order, targets well made. showing u-p with aiming point; clearly defined and a husky crew of markers ready to move them up and down and display to the qty-odd riflemen the proofs oi their marksmanship.

The secretary, Lieut-Col. W. J. MacDonald had rest marquee, re- freshment booth and other neces- “ry edluncts nicely arranged at the rear of the 600 yard butt. On the opposite side was the parking field. These were evidences that the whole meeting would be car- ried out in an orderly and mili- tary fashion. A complete new set a1 register keepers had to be en- gaged, but these intelligent boys caught on to the various signals ygy quickly and no complaint was made about any biackboards during the doli-

Credit for the conduct of the |h00t goes to Lieut.-Col. Leo Mac- Donald who as range officer kept the meeting moving smoothly and efficiently. Incidentiy 69 entries was the largest number for many years and no doubt had it been possible to practice at an early date that number would have been increased to the vicinity of one hundred.

There are many potential star shots among the new markemen and the encouragement they are receiving from the older shots and the warm welcome will no doubt keep than interested and in a year or two some of them will be going to Bisley-tha goal of every Canadian rifieman's ambition.

First Match 0f Day

Getting back to the matches the first on the program was the Dc- Blois Bros. Limited Match-IO rounds at 200 yards, possible points l0. The light at first was a bit hazy and there was a fish tail wind which continued practically throughout die shoot. This sc- eountsd for losses oi points by even the best marksman and it was re- marked that the new rifle range, on account of its situation, would prove a much better training ground on account of these diffi- culties than the former one. The winner of the DeBlois Match was a husky Mountie from Summer- lide, Cpl. W. M. Beatty, whose 4’! was the beet of four. Lieut. P. Hooper, W. D. Cooke and Miss Mary McLennen had the some score. but they did not. finish with as many bulls.

The main prize list to 30 and it. took a points to get into it. In addition there were the Tyro prizes. ‘Ilhe beet Ihot in this class being Sgt. O. E. McCaILum with 40 points. and in the Service Rifle ClasaJ. D. Stewart finished on top with I) points. As prizes in kind must be shot off the four top scorers ii the DsBlois Bros. Limited Match will shoot off for the Cup donated for No. 5 Divisional Signals.

Following the above match came the Provwsc Bros. Limited Match

was limited score of 40

with l0 rounds being fired a; 30o Yards. Plsible so points. 1.1m. 5811111 E. Jenkins who was top marksman at the recent inter- Maritime shoot in Halifax placed every round in the bulls-eye, mak- ing s perfect score oi 50. Next "m9 eight riflemen with 47 points and the shooting was so keen it took 41 points to win a place in the prize list. For the TyrOs P. o. Irwin Jenkins was tops with 41 points and in- the Service Rifle Class Lieut. B. B. Jones. son of Premier Jones, had the magnifi- cent smre oi 48 points, a really very creditable performance, while 'I‘rooper A. Home and Cpl. F. C. Younker were close up with 46 and 44 respectively.

Moore and McLeod Limited Match is always shot at two ranges - the 300 yards and the 500 yards with seven rounds at each range. The possible points being 70. Sgt. G. McLennen. an ex-Bisley man. proved the best in a grand shoot. his 68 points win- ning him the first prize and the 17th P. E. I. Reece Cup. Right Q his heels was Capt. R. A. McCalbe with M points and it took a 50 Points to get into the prize list. The best of the Tyros was J. E. MacRae, son of the former star rifleman J. D. Mac-Rae. His 58 points bettered Sgt. McCallumb 57 by one point. 1n the Service Rifle Class some e scores were in evidence particularly that of Tpr. Alvin MacDonald, whose 60 points showed he is a future star. Others who were well up includ- ed Cpl. F. C. Younker. Tpr. S. Crawford, Cpl. S. J. Birt and C. P. 0. Bowles.

Next year when adjustable sights are available a lot of those shooting in the Tyro and Service Rifle Classes will be fig- uring very strongly in the main part of the prize list.

Today's Program

The City of Charlottetown Match. seven shots at 500 and seven shots at 800 yards was pro- grammed for the afternoon but it was not possible to complete the 600 yard range. but the 500 yard was finished. This morning at 8:80 the first batch of rifiemen will shoot in the City of Charlotte- town Match at 600 yds. Lmmedi- ately on its conclusion the 200 yard range oi the Jones Memorial Match will be on. This is the most talked of match in many years and it is predicted that the winner will have to score a 100 points or bet- ter. The possible is 105 points. Prom the N0 yard range the markemen will continue to the 500 yard range in the Jones Me- morial. It is not likely that the 600 yard range which completes it will be fired until the afternoon. Immediately following will be the MacKinnon Match, 10 shots at 500 yards.

The ladies‘ Challenge Trophy will be shot in conjunction and a Consolation Match will wind up the program.

His Honour the Lieut-Governor J. A. Bernard has been invited to attend and present the large num- ber of cups and medals. This func- tion will likely be held about 5 p. m. and will mark the conclusion of a very fine rifle meeting.

Providing the weatherman is on

his good behavior Anchors and Rovers will attempt to wind up the second section of the City Baseball League this evening with Rovers able to win the section by downing the Anchors and the lat- ter squad able to create a throe- oornered tie should they take tho north-end crew into camp. 4- 4- 1- +

The game should be a natural between t/wo bitter diamond riv- als. Sunday's washed out encount- er had the earmarks of developing into a close-knit struggle and there should be no reason why the same two squads should not be able to come through with a hard- hittlng, fast fielding affair when they clash in tonight's game that is important to both clubs.

4- + 4' 4-

A victory for the west-end crew tonight would be doulbly sweet. Not only would they chalk up their first win of the season over the Rovers but by so doing would at least postpone the Rovers at- tempt at clinching their straight league section. And judg- ing by the comments heard from Anchors players last night they axe going all out tonight in order to bring that state oi affairs about.

4- + 4- 4-

The Island open tennis tourna- ment got off to a flying start yes- terday when i1 singles matches were played all producing a close brand of tennis that augurs well for the competition that will be witnessed when the play narrows down to the final brackets.

II» 4- + ~1-

And the opening day was not without its upsets. Herbie Hughes coming thmugrh with a straight set win over Phil Murphy, former mainland player, but now a mem- ber of the Charlottetown Club. Favorites came through in the other matches but at that lmd no easy time in turning back the threat of the lower bracketed players.

Playcrs who failed to see act- ion yesterday will get their taste of competition today and the brand of tennis should improve. Yester- day e. very high wind hampered players somewhat, both from a defensive and offensive angle; as a result shots that. otherwise would have been returned went for eith- er points or faults but with het- ter playing conditions expected to- day every match is exipected to produce hard-fought encounters. 4' 4' 1'

As was expected competition i! the annual Provincial Rifle As- sociation meeting yesterday turn- ed out to be some of the hottest ever witnessed in this event with the leaders in the different mat- ches fired all being grouped close- ly in top positions as the marks- men rang up great scores during the day's firing.

The‘ event continues this mom- ing and afternoon and with the race for places on the Ottawa Ag- gregate team till a wide open af- fair. some bril lent shooting should be witnessed before the final shot goes winging its way toward the target.

It must be hard for a player like The Blake to turn down a lu- crotive coaching post just because the fires of ambition flame so brightly in his competitive breast.

Toe Blake has been a fierce hard

knows no other method than to go all out for everything, whether it be in hockey. softball or crib- bage. l-le is e veteran now, lean- ing hard on thirty-four years. but convinced that. he has another flaming year ahead in which he will set an all-time point record.

You have to like him for all that. Even if you know, like he does. that he is past his peak, that he could step out into a solid spot like,Bufialo as coach. with the cheers oi the fans still ringing in his ears. Blake could have the Buffalo post, which is a real good one. but he spurned it because he

feels he can still reclaim the heights he held a few years ago. 4-

It fool: a lot of thinking for him to turn down a very good off- er with the possibility that at a future time he might come back as coach in the N. If. L-perhaps even to Canadiens. Toe has un- doubted qualities of leadership and can handle men. He is n fellow who can rally the ranks. z-le still thinks Oanadlsns can recapture the Sten-

11 matches were run off at the

Charlottetown Tennis Clu/b courts yesterday as the Island Open Tournament got underway. Despite the high wind the players had to contend with the brand of tennis played was exceptionally good. with several of the matches producing exciting, hard-fought encounters. as favorites, with the exception of one, coming through with first round victories. Gordon Bauld of Halifax, one of the tournament favorites, won his match when he defeated George Burnett of the host club 6-4, 8-2. Herbert Hughes pulled an upset win when 1n an all-Charlottetown encounter he defeated the favor- ed Philip Murphy by a score of 6-2. 6-2, to advance to the second round.

Thomas Doran of Windsor NS. was a straight set winner over Gordon Foster 0-2, 0-1. in a hard fought contest, contrary to what the score suggests, while Paul Kays and Y. Boudrais battled out for three sets with the latter fin- ally winning out 3-6. 6-4. 0-1.

Walter Cullen and Jim Painter waged another three set battle before Cullen fnially succumbed to the former Maritime jujnlor champion, 3-6, 6-0, 6-3.

Ivan Reddln, another tourna- ment favorite. advanced to the second round at the expense of Joseph Hennessey with a 8-0, 6-1 victory; Gordon Hughes, Windsor. N.S., bent A. G. Withecombe 6-3. 6-4 while Jack Kenny chalked up a 11-2, 6-0 victory over Earl Nich- olson.

- In the ladies’ singles, the three matches played proved to be straight set victories; Kay Feavyou! \von over Isobel Sinclair 6-3. 6-12 Joyce Cantwell won a hard fought battle over Marjorie Morgan 6-4. 9-7. with Barbara Qulgley slam- ming out a 6-2. 6-2 win over Edna Power.

The ladies’ matches were all straight Charlottetown encounters with the visiting ladies making their appearance in matches t0-

Still In all, quite aside from all these things, you feel that when opportunity beckons you should al- ways selze her by the hand and take a walk. Blake we feel sure, would be a good coach with Buf- falo and he would be well looked after by Lou Jacobs, never known as being niggardly with his help in any line.

We don't think Toe can miss getting. his thirty points and the consequent cheers that will accom- pany the feat. In the meantime. someone else will be holding down a good coaching job. and tho course of events may shape an entirely different destiny for the big-hearted Canuck.
