Y Last year's elate of officers in group, Wolfe island •being the the Huron -Perth Baseball Associg- largest. tion were re-elected for the Coming season. They are as o11gws : President, Ross Wright, Mitchell; 1st vice-pres., Ivan Hearn, Lu.can; 2nd vice-pres., Wally Wein, Dash- wood; sec., Bob Gdtenby, Mitchell; treas., . John Livermore, Clinton; assistant secretary, Bob Southcott, Exeter. The schedule will be drawn up by the executive and presented at a general meeting to be held in Hensall, Monday, May 8. Last year a new softball league was termed when Zone C.I. of the Canadian Legion organized two groups, the North and the South, with 13 teams entered. Recently Zone Sports Officer Mac McDon- ,ald and Sec.-Treas. C. Millar re- signed, with J. D. Thorndyke, Clin- ton, being named as the 1950 zone spqrts officer, at a meeting held in Blyth. Itis hoped that the Legion boys will gist together sooner this sea- son. eason and that all last year's teams will •be back in the league. The South group' was composed of Exe- ter, Hensall, Seaforth, Clinton, Blyth and Goderich, while the North group contaieed Kincardine, Tiverton, Ripley, Lucknow, Wing - ham, Brussels and Howick. Another league we would like to see start out real soon is an inter - town organization. est year four teams started an Industrial League —Legion, Bell Foundry, Bosharts and' Duncans. We believe these teams could form again, with one addition, that being a Merchant's or Main Street team. Five teams would make a much better inter town league. How about it, fel- lows? Neither cold, rain, opening -day ceremonies, nor the lack of nine - inning pitchers prevented the base- ball season from getting underway —nor observers from detecting trends. Luckless Leo Durocher "provided prime gossip. His big power -for -speed trade with the Boston Braves backfired immedi- ately when the ex -Giants hit like mad to beat the Polo Grounders twice, start anew the talk that Leo was not long for his job. On the sketchy basis of early games, this was the .National League picture; Boston, with good pitching, looked better than exw pected; St. Louis was floundering; the Pirates, blasting homers by the carload, looked awesome for the time being; Brooklyn backed by erratic pitching with clutch hit- ting, defensive brilliance. In the American League, Detroit scooted out in fronton air -tight pitching, while the Red Sox and Yanks battled in the earliest "cru- cial series” in history. ,New York had hill trouble; relifer Joe Page was the first to go nine innings, ran the gag, and it took him four. games to do it. The St. Louis Browns' psychologist, David Tracy, felt good. Te told Dick Itokos to hit a homer in the opening game. Dick did. , Here is a reminder to sports falls. The World Series is only 22 weeks away! Howe Island: To the majority of readers it is just a name. To a group of Canadian sportsmen, it is to become this summer an intri- cate ntricate part of sports itself. Howe Island, situated between Kingston and Gananoque, is second largest of the Thousand Island To some 40 families, 1t, is home. It is a prosperous dairy farming community. On July 1, this summer, the drat sports camp of its kind will be opened. The sports resort will be under the supervision of Vie Obeck, athletics directqr at McGill 'University. In all, ten inetrgvtgrS,•. will be present. Boys from 12 to 19 years of age will be accepted for the courses, Which will include football, ,baser ball, boxing, wrestling, basketball, swirneruing, tennis and track and field. Strict training rules will be in order. Sports -training school, under a competent staff, is the main idea behind the project during the sum- mer ummer camp fdr teenagers. It isex- pected! spected! that several sport eelebr1 ties will visit the camp duringe t. vo-month period as guest''lec- turers. Public School News Long -looked • for "Spring" has arrived at last! The baseball teams got off to a flying start Tuesday after four, when the "Sailors" won from the "Bluebirds" 41 to 16. Preparations are being made for the "Open Night" held on May 15. Murals, art and displays will be postedin all rooms. Some musical selections will be presented, and. rhythmical exercises. We hope all parents and friends will attend.
