There will always be the close scoring decisions as well as close umpire decisions. although we scorer; don't get called "bums right out loud so often. For exam- ple, Johnny Whalen would be in the select .300 class but for a de- cision we made in the last game here. Here's how it was: With" first baseman Gay playing well in to- wards the plaie. Johnny bounced one to arse-nanlt, the Holman pit- cher. When my picked up the ball. there was no one on first to take the throw, but Gillis. second sticker. moved over to first in plenty of time. 3.3 we saw it. to take the peg and retire Whalen. Ray apparently went into it trance and didn't throw at all. We. call- ecl it in fieIder's choice, but cer- tainly got it lot of argument on it. some claimed Gillls wamtt on first in time to retire Johnny. Consid- ering our 20-20 vision. that. of course. was silly. Others maintain- ed that since my did not throw. it hit should be scored in any case. what do you think? There will doubtless be a con- tingent of Prince County boxing fans in attendance at the Char- lottetown Forum Friday night. Ivan Doherty and his assistants put on an exceptionally fine card last time. and this should rate an- other bumper crowd this time, and every time until (and unless) the present promoters lay an egg. As long as they deliver the goods. all wool and I. yard wide, the fans will no doubt continue to patron- in them.
