Braves Honored

By Parish Club

Celebrating their first major victory in the field of sport,\the members of St. Pius X Parish Club were hosts to the “Braves” their softball team, at a turkey dinner and dance in the parish hall last night.

The teature of the evening was the presentation of the Knights of Columbus trophy, eru- blematic of a championdhip per- formance in the junior sottball league, which fell to the Braves this year. in their first endeav- our in such play.

The trophy was placed in/the custody of the Braves Captain, Clitf Gillis by Rev. Clarence Rocha, Moderator. to be retain- ed tor one year.

\ The trophy was first presented

in 1955 and in that year it was won by the Junior Basilica team. In the next two years the cham- pionship went to the “Vics”. Head table seating included Rev. Clarence Roche, Mr. and Mrs. Ciltfor‘d Gillis, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Murphy, Mr. and Mrs. James M. Morley. An ex- pression of regret at being ab- sent was received from the Rec- tor, Very Rev. Monsignor R.V. MacKenzie, owing to a slight in- disposition. The club president, Joseph Murphy was Master of Ceremonies. Speaking briefly Father Roche expressed plea- sure at being present and congra- tulated the Braves on their vic-

SPORTS FRONT

Bers CALLAGHAN

. CHARLOTTETOWN and district hockey league opening is drawing closer and the lid will actually be pried off when Navy Tare take on Barkdalo Royals on Tuesday next.

Every night all teams with the exception of St. Dunstan: (they don‘t play until the New Year) are busy holding'workouts at the Sports Arena. Coaches are giving the hopetuls the eagle eye and are hoping to be fairly well settled on their lineups by next week.

WEARENOTGOINGtosaythattheleaguoismbalanced ‘nntllweseevmateachcoechhastootfc.Theremaybeseverai ‘das'k horses' that we know nothing about. We are hoping that thdrp are because such surprises always do good as tar as the success ot a league is concerned.

We understand that Prince (1 Wales College Squad could do with some strengthening. We have that rifiit from the ‘horse’s mouth'. The City Collegian. are mighty anxious to stay with thelrownschoiauasmuchaspoesiblebuttheyseemtothinkfliat they can’t possibly get along under their own power.

WE'UNDERSTAND that one team in the loop is really for- ,Imldable. We don’t for a moment blame a coach for endeavour- ing to lineup a good team. However, he must remember that thereareotherteanuinthisloopaswellandalltheseteams must be capable of putting on a good show. If one team shows far too much superiority, then they will ruin the league in a real hurry.

'If those in charge of teams have the success of the league at heart, they will appreciata this fact and get their heads togeth- erinanhonestei‘forttocomoimwlthfivefairlyevenlybaianced squads.

Some coaches right now are just a bit disgruntled at what they term ‘packing’. They think it will defeat the purpose of the ‘Charlottetown and district league and we are in full agreement with them.

What this newly-formed league wants is keen competition and you are only going to get that with evenly balanced clubs. This kind of league has to have plenty of giverhnd take, with the emphasis on 'give'.

SO WE THROW out this word of caution to those at the helm See to it that the clubs are as evenly matched as possible. Somebody naturally has to emerge victorious but let that some- body reach the goal only afiter a really tough struggle.

If someone has a team that is four or five goals better than the others in the loop, then, if the league fails, lay the blame right on that someone’s doorstep. If that happens, where will such a ‘packed' team operate?

A little common sense should tell one and all that there mustl

be no team in this loop that is capable of cmshing any other team. If such a team seems shaping up, then we say the league is in tor lots of trouble. '

Just think this over. After you do, we think you’ll agree

with us 100 per cent. CONGRATULATIONS to Summerside curlers on winning the

Gaboury trophy competition at Charlottetown Clsrling rink on '

Wednesday.

The boys from the,western capital grabbed .the highest.points in this provincial event (it’s always the first competition of the year) and took home with them the trophy that has been up for annual competition since 1929.

We sat in on part of the competition and were amazed to see. the great display of good fellowship. We got to about 5

hockey and wondered‘. why such an attitude couldn’t be had between Summerside and Charlottetown. Why can’t this fellow ship We see in curling ‘infect’ some of our hockey players. Is there no way of‘ making this curling sportsmanship contagious?

Whether you are a curler or not, makes little ditference. You sure have to hand it tothe boys who throw those rocks. Each year the membership in each of the five clubs on? Prince Edward Island shows a big increase and Charlottetown club reached the stage last Tuesday where they had to call it quitl as tar as this season’s membership is concerned.

From a spectator point curling has the appeal of many other sports, but when you’re talking about;5ports that are really loved by their participants, put curling just about the top.

CHICAGO BASEBALL writers {have not forgotten Jimmy Dykee, recently appointed coach with thh Pittsburgh Pirates. They have, nameid Jimmy the winner of the J. Louis Comikkey memorial awar .

This award is symbolis of long and meritorous service to baseball. Dykes will be made thetpresentation on Sunday Jan- uary 18.

Comiskey was Jimmy’s boss for part of the 14 seasons he served with the White Sox. Comiskey paid $150,000 to the Phil- adelphia Athletics in 1932 for him, A1 Simmons and Mule Haas.

Dykes subsequently managed the White Sox trom 1934 to 1946. After that he had pilot jobs at Hollywood, Philadelphia and Baltimore. Two years ago he became a coach at Cincinnati and also served as stand-in skipper of the Red-legs after Tebbetts resigned last August. ‘

This fellow surely deserves the recognition he is receiving.

THE TALK of a third major league has pretty well died down. There doesn‘t appear much chance that tiere‘il be such a thing In the very near future.

Los Angeles Dodgers Buzz Bavasi has this comment to make:

"The only people who would make money out of a third major league would be the men who build the stadiums. And when Mayor Wagner‘s committee (New York) talks (about having a spon- sor with 34.000000 how far would that go? The Dodgers stand

tory. Others who spoke briefly in complimentary terms were Capt. Gillis, J. M. .Murley and John MacAleer. '

Following the supper. which 'was most capably arranged and served by Mrs. Joseph Downing and her lady associaaes in the club, the members and guests enjoyed dancing until midnight.

HUNTERS CORNER

hilltop at Avondale school, watched a cold, snow flecked dawn break on Sunday morning,

November 23rd. As you well may guess I was on a goose patrol. My partner was on a similar mission in the general Orwell area. At intervals a bitter nor-’- wcster spattered snow flakes against the car windows and vis- ibility was almost zero. I had turned the car so the wind was quartering against the back and Keefe’s Lake was on my left. The misty depression that held Wisener’s Dam lay about a mile and a half to my right but slight- ly north of my position. Even with glasses spotting geese was quite a chore. I kept Keefe’s and Wisener’s u nder observation until 8:00 am. with nothing to show for my work.

STOPPED FOR CHAT

Homeward bound I stopped to have a chat with Joe McKinnon. Joe was at the ham attending to his milking chore so I grab- bed myself a spare stool and sat with my back against the wall and had a regular ‘chin-fesl‘ We have known each other for a long time and conversation didn’t lag. Joe reported geese weren't moving any too brisk but he did see a flock of about 20 alight in Allan Hughes field

from milking the last cow. Tos- sing the stool in a corner he remarked: “Lets go to the house” when the clear honik of a wildgoose came to my ears. The door faces east and as I stepped outside 18 or 20 geese were bucking the nor’wester within gunshot of where we stood in the doorway.

‘ It was easy to figure out. With a strong wind on their tails on their flight from Wisener’s to A1- lan’s field and had overshot their mark and were bucking their way back. 'Dhey intended to fly over the barn but changed their minds when they saw us. They didn’t flurry but tacked off slightly to the nor'east and aligh- ted in stubble within 150 yards from where we were standing.

They fed there for about 20 minutes until a car roared by on the highway and they took off back to Wisener’s. They made a beautiful picture when I stepped out the barn door with their trim, greyish breasts turned up

The Grey Cup final was watched by 6,900 fans when the Ottawa Rough Riders trounced Winnipeg Tam/many Tigers by 24-1 at Lansdown Park, Ottawa, 33 years ago today. The classic was young then, and bad weather and a muddy field didn’t help.

DETROIT (AI )—G0rdie Howe got his 399th National Hockey League goal and Terry Sawohuk turn-ed in some brilliant goal tending as Detroit Red Wings blanked Boston Bruins 40 Thurs- d night at Olympia Stadium. V

Sawchuk turned back 26 shots in getting his third shutout of the season, and this was the second time he has whitewashed his ex- teammates.

Howe‘s goal came in the middle period when the big veteran skated the length of the ice and turned loose a blazing ill-footer that Bruin goalie Don Simmons never saw.
