In view of the fact that this is a column that. is devoted entirely to

sport. we feel that it would be fitting at this time to recount a recent article writen by Oscar Fraley which appeared in the Ot- tswa Journal on August 15th.. which pays tribule to one of the greatest sportsmen of all time in the person of Babe Ruth who died just one year ‘ago on August 16th. . e

‘The Babe will have been gorse one year ago tomorrow and, while most baseball men feel that soon- er or later someone will surpass his ‘big 60', the world knows that rec- ords aren't needed to remember George Herman Ruth. It has been 22 years since the Bambino smash- ed his record 60 home runs. That's a tremendous span of time in a game where records are made to be broken—a.s this greatest of them all surely will be some day. o

"And, while the odds are against it, they may even wipe his name completely from the record books on some future date. It will take a lot of doing against his total of 714 homers; his winning the longest game 1n series pitching history, 14 innings on the hill, and his series mark of 29 consecutive shutout inn- ings, among others. But they'll never erase the glowing memory of the Babe.

see

"For here was a man marked for greatness, an intimate idolatry which scorned to make him a mem- ber cf cverybodyts family. It was a magnetism outlasting time which is impossible to explain. Even the Babe felt it, and couldn't puc a [finger on it. ‘Sure everybody knows me.’ he qul-pped one day. ‘Why not, with the mush I've got.’

. t e o

"But one thing 1s certain, he had a. grip on the national imagination —even the international feelings- such as no athlete ever had. or probably ever will have again. Dur- ing his last illness. just. a year ago. as letters poured in from kids who never had seen him. a. doctor tried to explain it. ‘Why? Because of what he stands for. A kid from any fork of the creek knows he can make the grade if he's got what it takes. You can't buy it. You can't pay someone to do it for you. It's just that the kids are particp- lar about their heroes‘

s o s

"So it was that s. kid from a Baltimore industrial school left be- hind a legend. o moral hcline run for others who started to the plate with two strikes. already on them.

"And when he left, a year ego to- morrow (A-ug. 16), he had had just about everything he wanted except one. That one unrealized desire was to manage the Yankees, the team he had made. The club will dedicate a plaza. to him tomorrow. just outside the towering white walls. and you feel almost as if it is l. salve to the Club's conscience. For actually the Babe needs no

monuments. s

“He has them 1n the hearts and the minds wherever he played. Even outside the big leagues. for the Balbo barnstonned all over, and there are markers in Georgia oow pastures and in Kansas fields. And in even in those romotp plmoes old timers will came out and 17°11"- and say to strangers: ‘Soo way over there. over the top 0f that born? That's where I saw Bs-be Ruth hit s. horde run:

“As far as the Yankees are eon- cerned. the recognition comes a bit

late. As for the Babs. the kids don't need anything to r '" him 111-001. the srsyim kldl 0!

Sport Echoes

From Prince Bounty

Those who see the second B!!!" of the semi-final series in the Prince Edward Island Taurus bo- tween the R.C.A.F. Ail-Stars and the Charlottetown Abegwelu will probably witness as a. side-silo! to the main attraction the cui- aticn of one of the tightest races for batting leadership seen on the Island for some time. The two contestants nre Maurice Goodwin and Glen Matheson of the Abeg- weiiis. One more time at but for Goodwin without a hit would put them into a tie. That's how close it is. And there is still s. possibility that Verne Larter, the Charlotte- town catcher. may sneak under the wire ahead of both. The unex- pected can happen just as in a horse race.

The Curran d: Briggs baseball diamond is now equipped with s sound system and the names of the players, the number of balls and strikes on the batter, and oth- er particulars are given over the sound system as the game pro- grosses. Fans say 1t makes the game more interesting for them. O O 0

Frankie Oatway who is waiting for a call to the Navy has handed m his uniform and is all throuBh with the Curran dz Brigg-s club. Frankie started off slowly with the old hickory this season but kept getting better as the season went along and was leading in the im- portant department of “runs bat- ted in" when he retired. Since then Mathescn of Charlottetown has passed him in that department and now leads the list. Matheson ha-s 11 R-Bfs to Oatway's 10. Frankie will be missed in sports circles when he dons the bell- bottom trousers and leaves Sum- merside for parts unknown. He is a lop-notch baseball and hockey player. Ho won the scoring race in the Charlottetown City League last winter. We wish him the best of luck in his new sphere of action. No doubt he will make o. name for himself in sports in the Navy. I I O

The Prince County baseball league is starting its play-offs this coming Sunday. Due to the fact that college boys will be leaving their respective teams in Septem- ber, the league heads have decid- ed to have sudden death games in the quarter and semi-finals and s. best two-cut-of-three series only in the finals. Kenslngton who has re- mained idle during the regular season will enter the play-downs with a sudden-death game with the Kinkora team at Klnkora. Kenslngwn has s lot of untried players who have seen little no- tion in organized ball, but under the capable tutelage of Irvin Jay they have been coming along fast and might spring an upset at Kin- kora to get into the Prince County League semi-finals.
