THURSDAY, AUGUST lst, 1946 Police OffIcer Pollard 1 Surprises Fans By 1 PitchIng 4-Hit Game There was quite a spectacle at1 j"the Public School grounds on1 Tuesday evening. Provincial Po- ic ficer Pollard, a man not as yOun as he used to be, took the mou»,f for the Pepsi Colas and f bdued the Goodyear team 14 ta ~ ~Mr. Pollard has evidently seen Jsorne softbail in his yugrdy as is evidenced by his four-hit per- formance. He got off ta a rather bad start in the first inning when Goodyear scored five runs. After that he settled down ta pitch run- less bail for the remaining six frames. The Pepsis jumped into an early lead in the first when they gat 6 runs from 4 hits and two walks given up by Hoar. The Goodyear retaliated with 5 runs in their haif of the frame but were held score- less for the rest of the game. Pepsi Cola scored three more talles in the second when Cowan drove in Piper and Yourth who had walked, and Tomn Depew crossed the plate on an infield out. They got two more in the fourth on Harry Depew's single and Crombie's home run. Cow- an, Harry Depew and Crombie scored the other 3 runs in the lait of the sixth. Police Officer Poilard of course stole the show but he was ably supported by Messieurs Crombie, Yourth and Bagneil. "Ticker" played a good game behind the plate making short order o! sev- eral fowl flies. Yourth at third and Bagneli at short made an impenetrable left fiank. Bath made sanie spectacular running pick ups and throws. The summary: Pepsis 14 runs, 9 hits, 5 errars. Goodyear 5 runs, 4 hits, 5 errars. Home runs, Pep- sis, Crombie. Bases on halls, off Poilard 1, off Hoar 7, off Mayn- ard 3.

Thus at the end of five innings the score stood Front Street 6, Legian 1. The sixth frame revived inter- est in the game when the Legion collected 5 runs. Woods, Hooper, Welsh, Harrison and Little got the tallies. They tied it Up in the next inning, Calmer scoring on a wiid pitch. Tension rose ta great heights in the last haif of the in- ning as bath Cauvier' and McFeet- ers were calied out at the plate by Umpire Jack Coyle. The Legion scored a run ta break the tie in their haif of the eighth. McKnight doubled and scored when Calmer pounded out another two-hagger. It appeared as though the Legian had the game sewed up but the Front Streeters had other plans. Mason was safe on a hunt and Rundie singled. Then came a costiy wild pitch which scored Mason and put Run- die on second with the winning run. McIlveen the next man tip hit inta centre field and the game was over. In looking hack aver the game one cannot overlook the part played by Mason, Rundie and Mc- Ilveen in the iast-minute Front St. raliy. This samne Rundie was the main siugger of the evening with four hits in five trips ta the plate. Hoaper of the Legion aiso had four hits ta his credit made Up of three bunts and an infield hit.
