What is wrong with Summer- side's adult atheletes? Are they rapidly degenerating into a tele- vision- viewing. car- driving, beach - lolliiig. moon-gazing group of athletic incompctents? we may have left out. a few pertinent adjectives, but those are all we can think of at the moment.

There is no talk of baseball or softball in Summerside so far this spring. Baseball has suffer- ed a slump in the capital city, too, but at least, they haven’t called it quits. They are still struggling along in the face of poor attendance to keep the game of baseball alive. In the last five or so years they have developed a very fine softball league which attracts consider- able fan interest the winners each year are able to put up a respectable showing in Maritime competition, and their caliber of play is improving every year.

Is there any good reason why summerside should not be able to do the same? Softball is an ideal sport for times when fans cease to come to the parks in large numbers. The expense of keeping up a softball team is not nearly so high as is the case in baseball. and because of this clubs can operate in the black without a great deal of fan sup- port. Here in Summerside if we could get a league organized it would give us at least one fife- tator sport for town fans, nd the standard of play would im- prove as it has in Charlottetown

Bad Weather Plagued Meet

SALEM, N.H. (AP)-A total of $3,377,468 was pushed through the mutuel windows during Rocking- ham Park’: just-concluded 32- night harness racing program, the state racing commission said Monday.

The state received $208,856, compared with advance estimates of $300,000-

The track’: average nightly handle was $105,505, and the

.state’s average nightly take total-

led $6,525.

Lou Smith, the track's general manager, noted that the har- ness meet was plagued by bad weather.

“We had rain or snow on 25 of the 32 nights," said Smith.

Racing Driver Died Monday

VERVIERS, Belgium (AP)- British auto racer Archie Scott- Brown died Monday from burns suffered in Sunday’: Spa Grand Prix when his Lister - Jaguar skidded off the road and burned. Brown, 31, was the wonder of the racing world. He was born with no fingers on his right hand. Driving a car, even for pleasure, appeared unlikely. But the little man—only five feet tall—liad the

V skill with one hand that made ‘him the envy of many of his

more fortunate rivals.

British officials originally were doubtful about permitting him to drive in the top events. They re- fused to let him enter the British Empire trophy race in 1953 be- cause of his disability. Later the officials changed their minds. Scott-Brown competed and won the Empire race for sports cars in 1955.

Walker moved up among the middle- rieigihts, and the same year won that title from Tiger Fl-wers. He held the middleweight crown until 1931, later campaigning un- successfully among the heavy- weights.

NEW YORK (AP) —— When a ballplayer hits at a .400 pace and loses ground that’s news. When that player is Stan Musial it does not come under the heading of the unusual.

For Musial, who now has lifted his lifetime total of base hits to 3,006, has been hovering around the .500 mark for most of the young campaign.

A week ago, the brilliant stai

of St. Louis Cardinals was bat- ting .494. In his last seven games, Musial has collected eight hits in 20 times at bat—-an even .400 clip.

Stan showed a still awesome percentage of .476 through Sun- day’s games. However, the con- tinued productive slugging of San Francisco’s Willie Mays could make for an intriuing season- long duel between these two.

In last week’s action, Mays

In the American League, Bob Nieman took over the batting lead with a .390 mark. The right- handed batting Baltimore out- fielder, who had been used pri- marily against southpaw pitching in the first couple of weeks, moved into the regular lineup last week. He has collected eight hits in his last 15 trips.

Mickey Vern on, Cleveland's veteran first baseman, climbed one notch into the runner -up

position. He gained 11 points to .384 with nine hits in 22 at bats. MCDOUGALD FADES

Gil McDougald of New York Yankees, the pace-setter a week ago, dropped into a third - place tie at .373 with teammate Bill Sk-owron, who has been out with a back injury. McDougald lost 30 points with a 6-for-21 perform- ance.

Bob Cerv of Kansas City, who suffered a fractured jaw in Sal- urday’s game against Detroit, continues to lead the junior cir- cuit in homers with 11 and runs batted in with 30.

However, Cerv’s once - com- manding lead in these depart- ments is being challenged by Jackie Jensén of Boston. Jensen slammed four home runs and col-
