He contended Ilorusby. one of baseball's all time greats was "un- reasonable" in dealing with play- era.

"He doesn't consider them as individuals. bnly as players some- thing to be manipulated."

"No one is going to tell me how in run a bull club." said Hofllsby.

CHARLOTTETOWN

JUNE 11, 1952

Congratulations are in order to- day for Donnie ”Funnell" lvlaolean who made baseball history yester- day evening by no-hitting the Maritime Central Airways team. A long. lean righthander MacLean pitched the best game of his life as he set the M. C. A. batters down without asmuch as an outfield fly. MacLean himself did not know he had a. no-hitter until the game was completed. "I never thought of it until the very last." he stated after the game. "and then I wasn't sure although I could not recall M.C.A. getting any good knocks at the bull." -

The first: thing MacLean did was

The R. C. A. F. Airwomcn made it three straight victories in the Summerside Ladies softball Lea.- gue by larruping Andi"! Ac” 35-9 at the Recreation Centre softball diamond last evening.

Chester. Andy's crew were held to no runs and only two hits for four consecutive i lngs. coming back in the final inning to add three runs and as many hits to their meagre total.

The Aces used three pitchers. Melkle pitched four frames. al- lowed 12 hits, and walked 4. Rog- ers gave up. five hits in two he- nlngs. and Edwards wss touched for only one hit in the frame she worked, but walked seven batters. forcing in three runs by this lack of control.

For the winners. Bates and White were the heavy ' -I Bstes hitting 4 for 6, and White getting 3 for 5. Marie Peters hit safely three times in four trips, Shirley Perry got 2 for 3. and Helen MacFlu-lane had 2 blnlllea in 4 tries.

Forbes Kennedy. "Forbes called all the pitches and made ll. great Job of catching," stated ”l-lunnell." It was indeed a. rare achievement for Kennedy as well as MacLcan. We venture to say that there are very few catchers in the world who ever caught a no-hitter in their first appearance in a league. Yesterday evening Forbes Kennedy played his first league game of baseball. and came up battery-mate on s. no-hitter. He was erratic in the first inning but in the last eight frames he worked like a veteran. O C C

MacLcan thanked a good break-

ing hook for his no-hitter. "My hook was breaking pretty good over the outside corner." stated

"Funnell" after the game when we asked him about his most effective pitch. lie stated that he started to feel good during the third inning and from then on he felt in per- fcct condition. In the third inning, it will be recalled by those who saw the game. that he struck out three men. the only three who faced him.

Alan Stewart was the chief reason for the down- fall of the- currsnitcs. but the boys behind him didn't make any serious mistakes. and Plus Gullunt and syl Bemnrd covered a lot of ground to pull down files. We credited them with one error, to Tanton Landry. on I sizzling drive that hit in front of Tnnlon and seemed to bound just right for the short stop, but; went through him. Two fans sitting near us disagreed and said young Pete Green should have been given I hit. Well. it was one of those border line decisions. and we scored it as we saw it.

The C. at 3. boys didn't look like the same bunch of bombudiers against Alan Stewart as they did against McAleer and the other M C. A. pitchers. could be that Alan knows their weaknesses and pitches to them. while the kids are all strange batters to Lefty Mc- Alecr. True, the Holman outfit didn't cause too much wear and tear on baseballs either against. Chat-lottctcwn's star southpaw Benny Carson. When you consider, however, that such follows on Gd Williams, Dutch Underwood.

The wlllowly rizuthander using I lost bull and I beautifully break- ing hook fanned 16 batters in pitch- ing the first np-hitter in the Prov- ince since In R. G. A. F. hurler nccompllshcd the felt two years ago.

Mllcllean gave a masterful pitch- ing performulcs in holding the M. C. A. nine scoreless. His outfield- ers were not called, upon to make a solitary play as the rival batters did not hit A ball out of the infield.

The youthful ball tosser gave up only three bases on bells, two of them to former team-mate Elmer Macrleill. He was charged with two wild pitches one of which fig- ured in the scoring of the airways runs.

In three separate innings he sent three butters down swinging. Three men' were victims of his hunks in the first, third and sixth frames. Only in the second and ninth in- nings did he fall to strikeoul: I man.

Kenny Wilson, Glen Mstheson. Elmer MncNcill and Irving Mac- kinnon were the last batters to face the o-hit author. Wilson filed to second, Matheson grounded out third to in-st, MacNeill walked and MscKtnnon' filed to first to end the M. C. A. half of the ninth.

Machean had to be brilliant as his older opponent on the M. C. A. mound. "Lefty" MacAleer showed too much stuff for the Abegweir. batsmen. MacAleer surrended only five hits. four of them singles and turned in great pitching in tru- clutches.

MucAleer struck out six men. all of them when there were Abbies on the hue paths. 1-le chalked up his first strlkeout in the inning when there were men on second and third. In the ninth he struck out Cliff Ready with a man on base to end the ball game.

Actually neither Macbean nor MacAleer deserved to have a run .L.L...D......L.L.L..LL......
