H pi'i'c r a, a Philadelphia farmhand, edged Eoronto's Hob Wilson by two points in the batting competition in the iinal averages compiled by The Associated Press, Dawson Creek's Seniors, Pewees Lose Series Here The 'Prince George All-Stars tenderly restored the Spaner's Trophy, emblematic of the Northern Interior Soccr Championships, back into their trophy case today. The local All-Stars took a bitterly contested 2-1 victory from Dawson Creek Sunday at Connaught Park to win the two-game, total-goal, home-and-hoinc series. The two teams had battled to a 1-1 tie in the first game, played at Dakson Creek, last weekend. The Prince George PeeWee All-Stars also won their Northern Interior championship series with a 5-0 victory over the visitors. Prince George won the first game, 3-0, in Dawson Creek. SECOXD SERIES The Northern Interior scries was started by the local soccer officials and their Dawson Creek counterparts last year. Spaner's Men's Wear donated the trophy. Prince George won the first series between the two teams, and Sunday added their name to the second shield on the trophy. Hut they didn't do it without an argument from Dawson Creek, who battled liercly throughout the entire game. A crowd of several hundred was on hand to watch the game. The two teams battled on even terms during the first stages of the game before Joe Scharf headed the ball into the Dawson Creek net to give Prince George a 1-0 edge. MIX-UP INVOLVED A mix-up in signals between the Dawson Creek goalie and one of his defencemen aided Scharf in his scoring attempt.

Armando (iussie, who also he-ieves in using his head, was responsible For the goal when lie headed the hall into the corner of the net. Alfred (lehringer scored Dawson Creek's lone goal midway through the final half on a penalty kick. OPPORTUNISTS The two teams were well matched, with Prince George holding a slim edge in its forward line, who proved to be as deadly as cobras when given a break. Dawson Creek's forward line was nicer to watch, however, with their short, cijfsp passing plays that caused them trouble,1 they didn't shoot.- enough. The game was well played, with good soccer exhibited by both teams and tempers kept well under control. PEE WEES SHINE Prince George's Peewee All-Stars again proved the superiority in their game Sunday over their northern rivals, who showed considerable improvement over last year. The Dawson Creek team, although not in the same class with Prince George, bustled from start to finish in Sunday's game. Both teams played cleanly and with lots of vim and vigor; Neil Baxter paced Prince George to their victory with four goals. The fleet little player proved to be a real opportunist, turning almost every Dawsou Creek lapse into a Prince George goal. Johnny Stewart scored the fifth Prince George goal. Bill Suhr in fhe Prince George goal had a fairly mild afternoon as his teammates carried the play lo Dawson Creek. He had to be sharp, however, on several occasions and earned his second straight shutout; BIG G.UIK COMING With the championship scries over and done with, members Of the All-Star team are back with their own teains getting ready for v.'hdt will probably be the season's most important game.
