Judging by the way things are moving along since their re-or- ganizatlon meeting last Friday the three teams who are entered again this year in the City Junior Base- ball League will be hitting the diamond any day now for their first practice sessions of the sea- son. 0 O O 0 All three teams are well on their way to lining up their playing rosters for the forthcoming sea- son, with two of the team entries, Kinsmen and Knights of Columuhs scheduled to hold meetings to- night to find out how many of last year's squad will be turn- ing out again. and to look over any new prospects who are eager to try out for berths on the teams. The Kinsmen will hold their gath- ering at Memorial Field at six o'clock and the Knights will hold theirs at the K. of C. Hall at sex"- en o'clock. I C O I The Charlottetown Vlctorlus, the third team in the league, have al- ready held their maeting on Wed- nesday. and are well along the trail towards getting their team rounded up for the first practice of the season. which should be any day now. depending of course. on the weather and condition of the playing fields. The sooner they all get going the better, be- cause they won't have any too much time to get in trim for the opening of the regular schedule. which if everything goes well. is expected to get underway the first week in June. 0 O 0
Although none of the teams have held organized practices yet. many of the boys who will be turning out with the various teams. are not going to be caught napping. and have been tossing the ball around for a week or more now and doing a bit of short-range batting etc.. to get their timiaz in and the kinks out. as. the result of their y.-vin.ter. layoff.
"Middleweight Laurent Dauth- ullle and his handlers, worried lesi: their fighter not get ri June shot at champion Jake l.amotta's title. held a luncheon today (Wed- nesday) for sports writers to put ln 5 plug for the Frenchman's case". 'st'ates a recent relioft fi'0m New York. . .
"Dauihullle. who has been doing his fighting out of Montreal for the last two years. is one of the two fighters considered most like- ly to get the chance against Ln- motta in New York's Ynnkce Stadium June 14th. The other is former cham.plo.n. .Rocky Grazlano.

Dick Wakefield Tossed Back To N. Y. Yankees
CINCINNATI. May 11- (AP)- Dlck Wakefield. temperamental outfielder who refused to play baseball for Chicago White Sox unless he got a 55.000 salary boost, was tossed back today to New York Yankees. Baseball Commissioner A. 8. Chandler voided the deal under which the Yanks sent Wakefield n the White Sox in return for outfielder John Ostrowskl. Ostrowski still is playing for
NEW YORK. May 11 -(AP) - outfielder Dick Wakefield tonight. was suspended indef- initely by New York Yankees, shortly after he had been toss- ed back to the New York club by baseball commissioner A. B. Chandler.
Chicago, which refused to give him up when Wakefield declined to report unless the White Sox raised his salary from s17,500 to Chandler called the testimony on the deal conflicting. adding that he had no choice but to "have the situation revert to the status that existed" before the Sox and Yan- kees entered negotiations April 28. "Neither of the proposed agree- ments were signed by both par- ties." sald Chandler's statement. "The Commissioner was forced to conclude that their verbal under- standings were at variance." When Wakefield was signed by Detroit Tigers in 1941, the bonus of 552.000 paid himiset a record. He hit .316 in 1943 in his first full year with Detroit, but after his return from war he was a dil- appointment. and last year sunk to .206 for 59 games.
During the winter Detroit trad- ed him to the Yankees for first baseman Dick Kryhoskl.
Ever since the deal that would have sent Wakefield to Chicago. the big outfielder has been sitting it out at his home in Ann Arbor. Mich.
Last year he received S22.500 from the Tigers, and the Yanks gave him almost the maximum 25- pcr-cent cut permitted under base- ball rules when he was signed for 517.500. Vilakcfield said flatly he wanted that 35.000 restored before he would put on is white Sox uni- form.
Frank Lane. general manager of the White Sox. contended that since Wakefield did not report for duty the trade was never con- summated. The Yanks in turn said it was a deal regardless of what, Wakefield did.

Jdhnny Slim yesterday flashed some of his 1948 form. handcufflng Chicago Cubs with a four-hitter to lead Boston Braves to a 3-0 triumph which split a two-game National League series between the clubs.
Two games were rained out- Brooklyn at Cincinnati and New York at St. Louis. Philadelphia Phils were scheduled to play a night game against Pittsburgh Pirates.
Sain outduelled Bill Voiselle and Wall: Dirbiel in registering his fourth vlctory.of the season against two losses.

A. sloppy defence cost Voiselle two runs in the fifth and one in the sixth frc.rn.Sld Gordon's seventh homer of the season. Sain himself started the fifth- round ruduus with s sirgle after two outs.
