. Although our picked team of City Leaguers took a licklI18 III "13 sands of the Meinramcook Rovers Sunday afternoon we Charlotte- onlans have nothing to be asham- 3d of. To begin with it was the ii-st time the All-Stars have play- id together as a team and in the leCOnd place the Rovers just hap- ien to be one of the best intermed- ate teams in New Br nswick.

llemramcook is the class of the N. B. Westmoreland League and before their trip here they were comfortably perched at the top of the heap with 11 victories In 12 games. Also they showed that they' didn't underate the Charlottetown team by starting their star hurler, southpaw Bob .1-Iougere. Fougere at present has won 3 games in the N. B. league without suffering any setbacks whatever. He leads the league in strikeouts and lust about a month it-,'.o he hurled a no-hitter against an all-star squad from Sprlnghill. N. S.

so you can readily see that the ill-Stars did very well in losing unly by a 44) score and might have done even better had Donnie Mac- '.ean's control had been a little nore keeno Donnie, whose greatest isset in previous years seemed to ye control. hasn't been up to par his year in that department. In ither years Donnie could almost hread needles with his pitches and that good control coupled with his tinker. which seems to fall dead lust as it reaches the plate. made him a very tough guy. indeed. to get out ofthere when he was right.

No doubt Donnie will come around after a little more work and by the time Maritime play- offs come around the opposition will have to earn every run they get off him when he is hurling for the Ahbles.

That reminds us. We hope there will be an intermediate Abbie team this year. Nothing has been

done so far in organizing a team

for island and Maritime playoffs "I

and now should be as good a time as any for a team to be formed and a few games planned so that the boys will have a chance to get used to playing with each other. Then too there are the junoirs. We have the makings of a fine junior squad here this year and it will be a shame if they are sent to play other Maritime teams in the playoffs without having had a few games in advance to get themsel- ves in good sha,e.

You know. last year the coach- es were telling us that had the local Juniors played a few games during the summer they might very well have beaten the Can- ning Juniors In the N. S.-P. E. I. playoffs. That of course is mere sp 'ation but the'fact is that the Juniors played only 2 games toEther before they went agai- nst Canning and that most cert- ainly didn't help them in their quest for the title.

Arranging for exhibition games for juniors or any other team is a tedius, thankless chore but it has to be done if the teams are to be sharp for the playoffs. Then too there is the expense involved and the attendances at local games being that they are we can readily understand why baseball officials do not rush to get outside teams here. The attendance at Sunday's contest wasn't too bad but still officials hardly did better than break even on the deal with Mem- ramcook. That is better than los- ing money but it doesn't help to put money in the bank and money in the bank is what is needed when the local teams head for other centres.

A good practice session is some times almost as good as a base- ball game. it doesn't cost as much money either so it might be I good Idea if exhibition gam- es are going to be too costly to at least get the juniors and inter- mediates out for a few practices.

The beach was deserted save for a fisherman who later was a wit- ness when officials of the Channel Swimming Association recorded the first crossing of the year and approximately the 75th crossing in the history of marathon swim- ming.
