island Scout's coronation Diary

By Queen's scout W. D. Ivea NEW YORK T0 CORK. IRELAND

ABOARD M.V. GEORGIC, Mary 26 --We arrived in New York at 8:10 AM. Tuesday. May 10th. at Grand Central Station. From the station we walked to an Automat. for bren.kfa.st. These Autormats are quite a thing. For thirty-five cents I got: pancakes, toast. whestles and coffee.

From the Automat we walked down the streets of New York. which appear as decvp canyons sur- rounded by steep walls of buildings on either side. to Rockefeller Cen- . tre. There we were taken on a tour .of the main building. On the i Rockefeller Plaza was a Coronation ; display of the Golden Coach drawn L by the eight gray horses. This was i surrounded by the Yeomen of the

' Guard and the Household Caval- TY. Across from the coach was 3 large figurine, I could not figure out what it was, ' in the pond; from - this figurine Sbouted water from various Dlaces. From the Plaza we went to the roof of the highest building. for a look over New Yank City. The elevators we travelled in went so fast. that you felt as if your stomach was left on the floor. From the top of the building we took many pictures of Cent:-alPark.

City, the U. N. Buildings and a few other interesting spots. . . .

From Rockefeller Centre we walked to the United Nations Building, a distance of approxi- mately two and a half miles. The Buildings, where most of the world's arguments are decided. are ' excellent pieces of construction.

We toured the different Council Chambers, five rooms in all plus the General Assembly Hall. These chambers are coloured in tones pleasing to anyone; some are very bright and some are dark. Around the sides of every chamber are two rows of glassed-in rooms. one row is for interpreters and the other is for T.V. and Newsreel men. The five languages of the United Nations are: French. Span- ish. English. Russian and Chinese. When one is in these Buildings he or she stands on International ter- ritory or many countries within a country.

.We ate our dirrner in the U. N. Restaurant. The chef could put large sandwiches together faster than the eye could follow; he made a good job of them too.

From the U. N. Buildings we took a. bus to our boat. stopping on the way to buy some more films.

We got to the wharf at 2.30 in the afternoon and had to wait an hour or so. before we could go aboard.

We left New York at 5.00 pm. Tuesday. May 19, for England and the Coronation on the M.V. Geor- gic. On the boat are some seven hundred Irish people headed for their homeland. The total number of passengers is around 1,400.

Aboard the ship. which is not very large, is a dance hall and movie theater combined, and quite a few lounges. A

some of the fellows, including myself, had been laid up with a cold and seasiokness.

We expect to dock at Cork. Ire- land about 2:00 AM. Wednesday morning. May 27. and at Havre early Thursday morning. We clock at our port, Southampton around 4:30 PM. on Thursday to get the special train to London at 7:00 PM.

Last night. Monday the 26th, an Amateur Concert was held in the main lounge. Many people took Part in the slnginz. Irish dancing. and the scouts sang their own familiar songs.

The meals on this ship have been excellent. as well as the service. The sea has been fairly rough, giving the ship a bit of a roll.

In my cabin, which is near the waterline and gets little of the rou, are two other Scouts. They are Lloyd Higgs of Moncton. NB., and George Hosang of Bellevllle, Ontario.

That is all until before the act- uai Coronation of our Queen. Eliz- abeth 11.

Softball has been holding the yspotiight in Summerside during ythe past week, partly, we suppose. ibecause baseball has not swung into action here yet, but partly, too. we think, because there is unusual interest in the sport this spring. The ladies' league prom- ises to have its best season to date, and the men have got back into action. Both leagues are en- joying a large following of fans. We feel that some of the credit for this fine beginning should go to Elmer Matheson. the softball chairman of the Summerside Ath- letic Association. who has worked hard to make the softball picture a bright one.

. .

We're afraid. however. that the strong arm of Ross Armstrong. backed up as it is by the power- ful hitting attack of Ross and some of his teammates. will make the league is rather uninteresting affair before many more games are played. One of the important requirements of any sport. is even competition. and a reasonable am- ount of uncertainty as to the eventual victors. Right now it looks as if the Summerside Goats can romp away with any game they play in the Summorside men's league, and we'll be greatly sur- prised. but greatly pleased if the other teams can Jam this predic- tion down our throat.

. . . If. however, our predlctionprov- ea only too true. we think some- thing should be done to attempt to remedy this situation. It would be a shame to break up this good team. and we certainly don't ad- vocate such a step. As they stand, they should be a real threat for Island softball supremacy. and might even give the best in the Maritimes a. go for honors. It would be fine if the Goats could get into a league with an RCAF team. and e. Charlottetown team. both strong enough to make an interesting softball circuit. Such a league would. we believe. create a great deal of interest. rivailingthe following which the baseball boys have. . I O 0 If .such a league could be or- ganized. then. perhaps. the Goats could also remain in the present league, in order to get enough games to make it interesting for them. with the stipulation that the pitching slab be declared "out of bounds" for Armstrong. This would give pitchers like Ballem a chance. and probably make for even enough competition. We know it sounds ridicukzus to make a rule forbidding any play- er to play any position. but nev- ertheless it might solve the prob- lem, and Ross could still get a lot of fun out of playing some other position. and giving the ball those long rides he very often does. . . .

Well. maybe these suggestions are a bit premature. Let's watch a few games first. Maybe the bat- ters on those other teams want to be given a chance to prove that Armstrong isn't such a much of-

ils Stronger Than Ever

1 (By Joe Relchler)

NEW YORK. (AP)-Greyhcard Johnny Sain. regarded as all wash- ed up two years ago, says his arm iis stronger now than when he won 20 games for Boston Braves

in 1950.

The tobacco-chewing New York Yankees' surprise top winner thus far thinks he can win 20 again if he is used often enough. He's already made seven starts and pitched 64 innings, more than any other Yankee hurler.

He also leads with five complete games and 28 strikeouts. He has won four. saved two other; in re- lief. and lost two. In short, he has become the world champions best pitcher-at 35.

What is Snln's secret?

”There's no secret at all." Sain said Wednesday. "I'm pitching the same way now as I always have.

"I had a sore arm when the

ter all. It's a real challenge for the boys to study his delivery,, and find ways and means toknock him out of the box. After all. if you're going to learn to be a good batter. you have to pit your skill against top-notch pitching. . . .

What a program of sports we're going to have in Summerside this summer! Baseball: both ladles' and men's softball; golf bigger and better than ever: and harness racing and tennis under the lights!

Braves let me go in August. 1951. The soreness is all gone now. My arm is stronger now than it has been since 1948 when I enjoyed iiin best season of my career."

Saln w somewhat of an iron man in ' when he pitched the Braves to their first pennant in 34 years. He was in 43 games, hur- IOII 315 innings and won 24 while losing 15. He also best Bnb Feller and Cleveland Indians 1-0 in the World Series opener.

”I guess I just pitched myself out that year," he said. "We were being pressed hard by both Brooklyn and St. Louis. I had to pitch every third day during the last six weeks of the season. I made nine starts in 29 days dur- ing one stretch. completing all of them and winning eight. It took a lot out of me."

The Yanks gambled on him for a reported 550.000 and a player Aug. 20, 1951.
