Howard weighed 117, Swain 129 1-2.

The I-fallgonian canted the fight most. of the way and came through with spasmodic flurries that left Swain hanging on. Swain had to be content with almost undamag- ing infighting while Howard seam- ed effective both in close and at longer range.

No word was forthcoming from the camp of the locals of their hurling choice. It will likely be either Emer Larvter or Leftv MloAleer and no matter which one gets the nod the locals will be well fortified. Likey fireball Joe Bernard will start for the home- sters and this can spell lots of trouble fcr the challengers.

Their steadiness was the big factor in their opening win.

Either Ready or McLean will do the hurling. it was intimated with the big lefthander who came through with such a. fine relief job on Wednesday, likely to ‘be nominated. ~

I O I As is so often tho case in these junior games "breaks" played a. large part in the outcome of the series opener. Of course there was no doubting the authenticity of Donnie McLean's base clean- ing triple, but the defending champions fought back like real champions and forced the locals to the limit to retain their ad- vantage.

Today's game should be a thirti- ler all the way. Burramerside play equally as well here as they do when playing before home town fins and with their banks to the waD and thmir title start- ing to slip away from them they can be looked upon as furnishing even stiffer competition than they did on Monday, and ac- cordlg to local fans who witnes- sed the encounter. that. was stiff enotph.

Sport Echoes From Prince Dcunty

We don't like to be too critical, "Olclaliy to the mungsters. but we have a. feeling that in the first game of the Junior finals for the Island baseball championship the stick work of both teams. but the Summerside Kinsmen particu- larly, was considerably above par for the course. We like a pitchers’ battle as well as anyone. but when young athletes trot up to the plate on thirty-one different occasions

in one ball game, and you don't hear a. thing except horsehide smacking against cowhide, the

process gets pretty monotonous, and you begin to think maybe you should have stayed home and played dominoes with your grand- mother. We're not taking a thing away from the boys who are throwing them in there. Every one of the three fringers who worked on the mound looks like a good pitching prospect, but unless they are Bob Fellers in embryo. with the shells already plpped, they shouldn't have made such havoc among the boys who wield the bludgeons as they did on Monday.

We have an idea it was play-off jitters that really affected the batters in that game. They knew that at last this was the big series towards which they had been looking all season, and they want- ed those base hits more than they had ever wanted them before. They were over-anxious and they Just couldn't wait for the good ones. Never have we seen so many outside and inside pitches lunged at as in this contest. In the first five full innings, there were only two hits, one by either team. Then the boys seemed to get more ac- customed to the play-off spot- light and started getting them- selves scme base hits.

i

We feel pretty sure the batters will ‘come into their own in the games that will follow. 111a local boys are now one game down, a game lost on their home diamond. and this is a fairly large handl- cap in a best-of-five series. but the boys are still full of fight and say they cannot be counted out of contention yet.

Coach Ryan pulled a bit of un- expected strategy when he brought Ready in from right field to pitch to Frankie Oatway, who has de- livered some very timely blows during the season. Ready is a portsider and Oatway swings from the right side of the plate, the kind of a. batter that southpaws

are supposed to be able to swallow in one gulp. In a way, the strategy worked, and in another way it backfired. Oatways feeble roller to third didn't bat any base-runners home, but he got to first on the third suckers bobble. Ready. though pitching only to one man. uncorked a wild heave allowing one of the runners to score.

Today. (Wednesday) the island intermediate championship series will get under way at the High “ “ool diamond in Summerside.

The local All-Stars haven't won a. game from the Charlottetown regulars this season. but it isn't too late to begin right now. With Bernard back at his pitching peak, (Ho demonstrated this pretty well in that 14 inning affair at the air- port) with Powell recovered from his injury and able to help with his batting prowess, and perhaps too with his pitching ability, with Daly able to take his turn on the mound again. with the acquisition of Bob Bayne for left field duty. and the securing of Pete Mickus to fill the gaping void left by Les Gaudet at third, our boys have taken on a new lease of life, and are confident of giving the Cap- ital City smoothies a real battle for the Island title.
