Second game of the best-vf-five series ls scheduled for Dartmouth tomorrow. Then the teams shift to Cape Breton for the remainder of the round with the third some slated for Sydney Mines Friday. lvinner will meet Fredericton Cap- itals, New Brunswick champions. for the Maritime title if arrange- ments can be made.

l-‘ontes left Ramblers about six ive-cks ago when it appeared the team would fold because of fin- ancial difficulties. He was persuad- ed to return when Ramblers, who finished thiid during the season, captured their fzrst Colliery League crown in 30 years. They knocked off Whitney Pier Pirates. defending titlisis, and schedule-winning Glace Bay Miners in Cinderella fashion.

But m the fourth inning. when Arroivs scored all their runs. Follies had little trouble with the Halifax District League kings who went into the game as 7-5 favorites. Hc fanned seven and walked two with an awkward but effective delivery while his mates played errofless ball behind him.

Ramblers were never headed af- ter they jumped Johnny Dul-"e 1°! two unearned runs in the first inn- ing. They added what proved to be. the winner in the top of the fourth by cashing in on the breaks.

Duarte spactd seven hits but lus the first few innings. He completely handcuffed Ramblers for the last flve_ innings and wont on to whiff l0 while walk- ing three. Two of the walks set up scoring plays.

It was with much regret that the news of the death of Lloyd O'Brien was received here among fellow horsemen and sports fol-

lowers yesterday. Lloyd, only a young man of 37 years of age, was one of the Island's most prom- ising reinsmen, in fact one of the outstanding drivers in Maritime racing circles, and was destined to reach much greater heights in the harness racing sport with his ex- periencc and capabilities. e a e

The unfortunate accident which brought about his sudden death yesterday afternoon occurred at the entrance of the Foxboro Race Track in Massachusetts, U.S.A., where he has been engaged in racing some of his own horses, and this column joins with his many friends and admirers in extending sincere sympathy to his bereaved family and parents.

e e e v

With entries mounting up day by day from schools all over the Province, everything is shaping up well for the forthcoming Third Annual Interscholastic Track and Field Meet which will get under- way here on Saturday afternoon at Memorial Field, with present indications pointing towards it being another highly successful venture again this year.

O O O

An experienced and competent group of officials have already been enlisted by the Department of Physical Fitness, who are spon- soring the meet, to preside over the big program of some 20 events, which are divided up into three distinct classes of “A" (boys and girls under 11 years of age), "B" (boys and girls under l4 years of age), and “C" (boys and girls un- der 17 years of age). The events will include track competitions ranging from 50 yard dashes to e mile run and 440 yard relay, while the field events will consist of high jump, broad jump and 12 pound shot putt competitions.

O O O

Team entries from representa- tive schools that have been re- celved up until yesterday after- noon include Rochford St. School, Prince of Wales College, North Rustico, West Kent. Queen Square, Summerside High, Kcnsington, Glenaladale, Freetown and Bede- que, while several other school entries are expected to be in hand by last night's midnight closing date.

O O O

There seems to be a particular- ly keen interest being taken by the rural schools in this year's meet and many have already run off their annual sports end trials to select their best possible teams to represent them against the strong o" ‘tion expected from the City schools, and will no doubt etend them in good stead when the final team points are compiled.

O O O

Queen Square School was lest year's high point winner in team aggregate scoring which makes them the defending rh- ' for that honor again this year, end judging from the keen preparation being made by other schools, they are going to have their hands full in order to defend it successfully, which should add greatly to the keenness of the meet in addition to the close competition that is expected for individual honors in the various clients...

The Interscholastic meet will be the lest big event of its kind for this season’, and due to the fact. that a great increase of publlc_ interest has been evidenced this year in this particular type of en- tertainment, it is anticipated that there will be a large attendance on Saturday to take in the show ; and lend support to the perform- ‘ crs.

Phillies Manager Annoyed By Brooklyn Comment

ST. LOUIS. Sept. 20 —(AP) — "Let the Brooklyn people run their ball club and I'll run mine," Eddie Sawyer. manager of Philadelphia Phillies said today. t

Sawyer was burned up over Brooklyn accusations he was hand- ing St. Louis Cardinals the Nation- al League pennant on a silver plat- ter by starting rookie pitcher Jocko Thompson last night. Thompson was called up frc-m Toronto Maple Leafs at the end of the regular International League season.

After ‘Thompson turned back the league leading Cards 4-3. Sawyer took occasion to direct a few choice remarks at the second-plaice Dod- gers.

"I hope Jockds work convinced the Brooklyn loud mouths that we sre not bﬂnglng up ‘patsys’ from the minors nor do we have any ‘patsys’ on our bell club.

"We're playing every game to win just as if we were fighting for the pennant. Let the Brooklyn people run their own club. I'll run mine."

The skipper of the third-place Phillie: referred to the three-game sweep his club enjoyed at the ex- peme of the Dodgers last month at moot/ts Field. Those lickings started the then league-leading Dodgers on a tailspin that. eventual- ly cost. them the top spot to the Cards.

The Dodgers had no eeuse to hurl epithets at Thompson, former paratrooper who won 14 games for ‘liomnto this year.

The news that Lloyd O'Brien had been killed in an automobile ac- cident near I-‘oxboro, Mass, raoa track, came as a great surprise and shock to horsemen friends at the track here.

Only a short time ago he left us in high spirits and with great hopes of making a good showing with his horses at the track where his brother Joe made his first bid to fame in the United States, We had learned that he had already won victories there and were con- fident thst his clever driving would place him among the top‘ reins- men.

Last year, it will be remember- ed, he won the honor of leading driver in the Maritime Provinces, taking over that position which had been held for several years by brother Joe.

Lloyd came from a family of noted horsemen. His father Harry O'Brien, bred, raised, trained and drove many of the best trotters and Pacers of the years ago and is still carrying on. His brother Claude, who grew up with him, has been one of the top drivers in the Mar- ltlmes for years. It was natural

and Phil Rlzzutos bunt single, Al- though they failed to gain ground on the pace-setting Yankees, run- ner-up Red Sox eliminated Cleve- land from the pennant race.

Mei Parnell, stylish Boston left- hander, pitched and helped bat himself to his 24th victory.

He thus became the "winning- est" Sox southpaw since the pitch- ing days of the late Babe Ruth, who won 23 for the Sox more than 30 years ago.

The 50x were hitless and run- less against Bob Lemon, Cleve- land’s ZO-game winner, until the sixth, when Parnell led off Bos- ton's turn at bat with ‘p, sharp line single to right.

That began it.

Before the inning ended the Sox had scored all their runs and driven out Lemon, who suffered his 10th loss.

In Philadelphia, Pete Suders l-lth home run of the year, bit in the eighth inning with two mates on base, gave the Athletics an q-s tri- umph over Detroit Tigers.

then that he should have a love for horses and for driving them. Possessed of a very intelligent mind, he studied methods of shoe- ing, training and caretaking. and when he branched out as a driver some 15 years ago, he made an in- stant impression.

Pages could be written about his racing exploits, but perhaps we may need only quote one, the track trotting record at Alberton, which he set up with Dude Potemptkin, July 5th., 1939 - 2.09%.

This season as last, he has hand- led the stable of Dr. J.A. Donahue, Truro, N.S.. and those present at Old Home Week will remember his splendid drives, particularly his win with Dudy Budlong and the night race he drove cyclonic.

Lloyd had a very happy dispos- itlon, was courteous and obliging. young and full of promise in the sport he loved. and his passing has left a void in the ranks of harness
