...cosy little port of Shelburne, Nova Scotia, people know lanky young Alfred Kenney not only as the village photographer but as the star pitcher of Shelburne's baseball team. Lately he pitched a no-hit, no-run game against Lockeport. Last week Alfred Kenney gained greater kudos. All summer he had been hearing about the sport-only a few years old in Nova Scotia-of catching giant bluefin tuna ("horse mackerel" to old salts) on rod & reel. Up the coast at Liverpool a Cuban team had just won this year's international tuna matches from...
...Kenney had never tried killing tuna. Most of the visiting sportsmen having left for the season, Alf got his friend, Charlie Nickerson, to take him out. Captain Nickerson is one of many young commercial fishermen whom the Government has encouraged to equip themselves to guide visiting game fishermen.

Back aching, arms numb, slim Alf Kenney stuck it out, killed his fish and when it tipped official scales at 864 lb., received congratulations on a new world record-13 lb. heavier than the North Sea tuna caught in 1933 by Mitchell Henry of England...

...undoubtedly acquired, by fair means or foul, one of their best looking nines in a long time. They only made five hits, but every one came at the right time, and their defensive work, both infield and oufield-field, was nothing short of sensational. Pitchers Lefebvre (sp.), and Kenney looked good enough to give Fred Mitchell's Crimson plenty of trouble...
