Boxing At

Sporting

Club And Baseball On ‘Today’s Sports Program

Boxing and baseball fans will both have an Inning tonight when Joey McDonald presents an all- Island boxing card at the Sporting Club and Millionaires and Anchors clash In a City Baseball League encounter at the Memorial Field diamond.

r The Blair Dougan-"Big Boy" Pct- erscn ten round heavyweight fight heads the boxing card. The bout should be a natural. marking as it does a return go between the pair of mittslingers \vith Peterson win- ning the former one after a gruel- ling battle.

Tonight's bout promises even more action with not a few .ean- lng toward Dougan to reverse the tables on the former heavyweight champion. But Peterson has prov- m in the past that this is not an oasy task and tonight he will he liming to mark up a second vic- tory over the hard-hitting young- lter. Whether or not he can do it remains’ to be seen but fans should lee plenty oi action.

The remainder of the card like- wise promises hard-hitting, fast- moving affairs. Tiger Steele goes \galnst Lloyd Carr in a six-round lemi-iinal. That should be a scrap well worth the price of admission. Another six rounder brings to- gether Kid Trainer of Charlotte- town and Kid Bradley, a Peakes

Btation fighter while two prelim-l

Inorles round off the card.

The first bout is scheduled to get underway at D o'clock with the main event likely getting under- way around i0 p.m.

The Anchors-Millionaires base- ‘boll clash should provide ball ians with one oi the best games of the season. Millionaires, gaining a lot of support by their recent victory over the league leaders would im-

rovo their standing considerably. goth squads are expected to thro\v their strongest lineups into the

me and with every game being portant due to the fact that but Iwo teams are eligible for a play- off spot bcth will be anxious to phalk up a. victory. V.

Starting time is out for 8.45

Big Elmer Lari-er, who last Sun- day proved that he is back in the peak of his form and fully recov- ered from a sore anrn is expected to dish the-m up for the Million-

I aires. Last Sunday against Munc-

ton the big righhhander pitched a whiz of a ball game and if he is as effective tonight it will not be surprising to see the Millionaires chalk up their second straight win. l- 0 i 9 And if the lvLillionaires can pull off that stunt they will be literally breathing down the necks of the second-place Rovers. Only two playoff spots are Open at the end of the season and realizing that every game has an important bearing omthc final outcome both squads are going all out in every tussle. OI ‘Ir 4| 0 Anchors while firmly entrenched in first place and still undefeate‘ are expecting one of the toughest games of the season this evening. Studded with hitting strength and with a smart pitching staff the west/end crew of "Hus " McCsbe have proven to be tough nuts to crack but If the Millionaires can come through with a repeat per- forirnance of last Thursday's per- formance the league leaders are go- ing to have plenty of headaches ‘before tonight's settc is finished. -l- + Q O Oplnlon among fight fans is pretty well divided over the out- come of the ten round bout alt the Sporting Club tonight between ex- heavywcigrht champion "Big Boy" Peterson and light heavyweight Blair Dougan but while the ex- perts cannot agree on the outcome they do agree that the fight should produce some rugged battling with the consensus of opinion being that either one oi the two battlers will wind up in a horizontal posit- ion somewhere along the scheduled ten-sound route.

matter. _ 0 4- O O Dougan like Petersorr is not on overly good boxer but io a willing mixer. A youngster in years and ring experience nevertheless he has plenty oi’ hitting power in both hands and If he can get a. clean shot might easily end matters early.

Cece Powell of tho Bed Box, whose batting average lslncw 429 almost qualities for second place in the "Big Five." In order to qualify a player must play in 60 per cent o! his team's play. Powell would have to play 3'! ixuilngs to qualify and he has played 34. An- other game and Cece will be right in there, providing he doesn't have o disastrous batting slump.

Another boywho is knocking at the door is Anderson of the RCA. F. Andy is batting o terrific .462, but he hba played in only 26 in- nings and should have S5 innings to qua-lily. That means it will take two more games to put him in there, and a lot of whifiing and popping up can happen in two games, even to Andy.

14-year old Paul Schurman has appeared in two games for the Rcd Sox and is now belting the ball for on average oi .571. Looks as if the Kinsmen management made a mis- take in paslng this boy up. Be seems to have what It takes for all of his tender age. There are some other youngsters in the town who. we believe, would surprise all and sundry, If given o. chance. Roy (Chick) Gallant is another junior that the Kinsmen apparently wolv- ed a clain! on, and ROY. playing for the Legion thecther night got two hits in two trlpo.

The irrepressible " oose" Cor- son got really peeved the other night in o game with the Red Sox. Carson, in attemptlns to set away from an inside pitch. llll» I'M dull? and the ball. moraine ll the “m- pire's decision, hit his hot result- ing in a foul ball. Carson Oblwl- ed strenuously, insisted. it was not one bat, but “Moose" himself that the ball tagged. We distinctly heard the sound of wood. bulld- mlt that Carson may have been carrying an extra set oi checkers in his pocket, or something of the sort. Anyway Carson is not the type of pIIYQLWhO beefs without reason so he must have felt pretty sure oi his grounds beioie he re- gLztci-ecl such o howl. Possibly the ball hit the handle of tho bat and ‘then took a crook at Carson too. before rebounding to the screen. If-the ump was in error. he will! certainly be excused for it. M6111" there ‘was an unmistakable sound of a. ball coming in contact with wood.

' I

From the moment Starter Dr. I’. C. Dougan sent the first field awoy the big crowd of fans sow neck and neck finishes with the photo finish camera being called into action numerous times to decide the win- ner so close were the duels of speed winding up at the wire. Over a lightning fast track the trotters and pacers hammered away at each other hamme and tongs and as a result four horses today sport new win race records. Lee's Nightmare going the lost mile of the feature event In 2.10 1-5 displaced her former mark oi 2.11 4-5; Donald G. In wirming the first heat of his class got a new tab of 2.18: Quick Lick. driven by Len Gil/fears went the second mile oi the Classi- fied pace in 2.13 2-5 coming from far back to snatch the heat from Dale 3., then going on to win the third, while Mary's Delight in winning the Nmiber Four event on the card paced the last t/wo miles in 2.17 to dds-place her form- er record of 2.20 made about three weeks ago.

Nell Kai/muck the other winner on the card was l 1 1 In calptur- ing the Classified Trot.

Uipsets were numerous through- out the afternoon as the horses

battled each other from wire to

wire and the outstanding pay on the pari-vmutuel was $43.20 for a $2. ticket as Quick Lick came through with"his driving finish in the second heat of the No. 3 Clas- sified Race.

And as extra thrill to o tludll- packed afternoon the fans saw two collisions during the afternoon with both horses and driver's lucb- ily escaping serious Injury. In the second heat of the No. I Classi- fied Trot Brendon’: Boy jumped into Bill Kalmuckb sulky on the backstretch to lock wheels with Brandon's Boy going down while in the second heat of the No. 4 Classified Twilight Melody and Un- do Darnell figured In a. spill on the first turn with both horses Q0- lng down but again the drivers escaped although Twilight's ‘Melo- dy's sulky was considerably damag- ed.
