Uld Man Time has just walloped another round tripper into the stands of history and although the ball has not quite reached his destin- ation in the i952nd row. its certain to drop in there at midnight tonight. This latest drive of the Old Man's has been a mighty one and as we quickly circle the base paths of the 1951 blast. we will briefly recall the nigniights of the drive. From the crack of the but last New Years Day when Leo Lamoureux and the Islanders left the plate to the present moment when they tire nearing home the year of sport in the prcvincoi has been a successful one in every way and it is to be hoped that in the year to come Island athletes and teams will be graced with as much M1C( GEE. ) A
