The almost summer weather of this past.ten days has turned thoughts to summer sports.

Already there's plenty of ‘catch’ going on among youngsters in backyards and even on side streets. been played and are being played on the various city squares Ind any vacant lot that can be found.

It’s the same performance every spring, but this spring’s wea- ther brought about the performances much earlier than usual.

As yet nothing definite can be learned regarding our outlook here for activity at Memorial Field. Exactly what calibre of ball we_will see has not as yet been determined but it's a certainty that action will start soon.

We did learn unofficially that an effort was to be made this season to transplant the youngsters that performed in minor league hockey_a1l winter-at the Sports Arena out to the ball diamond at Memorial Field._ A meeting of those public spirited citizens that helped direct minor hockey here may be called soon with a View to having these same persons lend their enthusiasm to baseball.

The proposed idea is to have, all the brackets that existed in hockey operating in baseball up to and including juniors. The proposed plan sounds like a good one if enough interested coaches can. be induced to tag along. The program would have trouble during the summer holidays but there are always enough youngsters stay in the city in July and August to hold the leagues together till playoff time in early fall.

Let’s hope the youngsters have a bang-up season.

We recall a game a few years back between St. Louis Cardinals and Brooklyn Dodgers when Jackie Robinson hit a home run in the ninth to beat the Red Birds in St. Louis.

This of course was nothing exceptional for Robinson but the way the affair happened was certainly a novelty.‘ The Dodgers trailed by a run and‘ had a runner on first. Nobody was out and Jackie was ordered to sacrifice the base runner to second. He tried unsuccessfully on two occasions but both attempts were foul He was forced to swing away the next time and as a result he caught hold of one for a two-run homer. Yes, sent in to hunt and wins the game with a homer.

Last week Pittsburgh Pirate R. C. Stevens pulled a somewhat similar stunt. Stevens entered the game in the ninth with Pirates leading Cincinnati Reds 3-'2. His entry was engineered by manager Danny Murtaugh as a defensive measure.

Well the Redlegs came up witha run in the top of the ninth to knot the count at 3-3. You're ahead of us again. Stevens, the defensive star, came to bat in the bottom of the inning and blasted a four-base wallop to win the encounter for the Pirates 4-3.

Bolt shot an eagle and a birdie on the first two holes and from there on miseries set in for tem- peramental Tommy.
