O O 0 ' Local tennis enthusiasts. to whom we have beentalking. are eagerly awaiting the opening: of the 1952 season. Strictly speaking the players are not awaitint: any- thing as they are busy making plans for the operation of tilt" courts this summer. Accorlliniz to those plans local raquet, wielders can expect plenty of tennis with more competitions than have been staged on previous years.

I O 0

Last year tennis had a reason- ably good season but did not reach its pre-war popularity dur- lng which time a number of out- standing court artists were pro- duc:d. This year. through weekly competitions. instruction for novices by competent players. and tennis films for all it is hoped that tennis will again enjoy the popu- larity which it once had and which it justly deserves. 0 O C

We do not wish to insinuate that interest in tennis activities during the past few years has been slack. As a matter of fact the courts. which were well cared for by Jctf Fltzcuerald last year. were in de- mand most of the time it was fit to play. Several Juniors have been developing into promising players. among them Jack MacDonald and Peter McGonnell, who represented the Island in the Dominion .1unior playdowns last summer. Officials of the club. however. feel that they can increase their activities and that there are quite a number of players or prospective players around the City who could be en- joying the advantages which the club has to offer.

a o a I

We doubt if there is anyone who takes part in ii tournament who doesn't get a big kick out of ii. Each year club members take part in the Islam! and club playdowns. But this year in order in stimu- late interest it is planned to hold smaller tournaments each week if possible These competitions in both the ladies and mens classes should add a lot of solar and class to the operations of the Club.

0 O O

The first official cvefli of this year's tennis season will be the dance which the Club p'ans to sponsor at the Roll-Away on Thursday night of this week and through which the members hope to procure some funds to assist in the repairs of the club house and; couris. It is thought that play will commence some time betwren thr middle and last of this month and will continue until the end of September.

The value of Joe DiMaggio to the Yankees. even a DiMaggio batting only .262. has been pretty clearly demonstrated during the past three weeks. For the first time since he came to the Yanks Casey Stengcl has been in the unenviable position of looking up the ladder and seeing the backs of five other teams. Tile reason for it has been the lack of a top notch centre fielder and inspirational

THE GUARDIAN. Ci-IARLOTTETOWN

Nl::llV YORK. May 4 -(AP) -- Thlrteen baseball players changed uniforms Saturday in a flurry of trading activity involving eight major-leagues clubs. and six of the men wound up with the busy Washington senators.

The Senators pulled off two oi the day's biggest deals with New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox.

They sent oentrefielder Irv Noren and infielder Tommy U.p- ton to the world champions for four players-outfielders Jackie Jensen and Archie Wilson. pitch-r Franl: Shea and infielder Jerry Snyder. The Yanks immediately farmed Upton out to Kansas City in the American Association.

The Senators traded outfielder Sam Mele to the White Sox for infielder Mel Hodcrlein and out.- flcl-der Jim Busby.

The Yankees. desperate after getting off to their worst start in six years. had to pay heavily for Noren, slated to take over Joe Di- M:igglo's centre-field spot.

In the National League the last-place Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis cardinals traded pitch- ers. The Pirates sent southpaw Bill Werle to the Cardinals for George Mullueli. Branch Rickey. Pitts- burgii general manager. said no cash wns involved.

In the same shuffle, the Pirates returned to St. Louis Browns pitolicr Jim Suokeck

A fourth deal saw Philadelphia Aihleiics buy infielder Joe BE1'!l'l1 from Boston Red sox for the waiver priceof 310.000. There were hints that this was the forerunner of a. dual which would send catch- er Joe Tipton to the Red Sex for the Willard Nixon. right-handed pitcher.

The Yankees had been dickering for Norzen since the winter meet- ings.

The Yaiikces hope that Noren. a 27-3 ear-olti southpaw swinger, will fill the gaping ccntrefield cavity left when DiMaggio hung up his spikcs nlter last season. without Diivisagrgio. the Yanks lost seven of their first 1.1 games. hitting only three home runs.

Noren plagued by appendicitis. rt broken jaw and twisted knee during the last two seasons. hit .293 in 1930 and .279 in 1951 for Washington. Both seasons he startbd with I rush. only to be set back by injuries. Washington purcli.-ised Noren from the Brook- lyn organization after the 1949 season for 070.000.

After waging a battle with Mickey Mantle during the sprint; training season. Jensen, s 340.000 bonus baby. was given the start- ing role in ccntrefield for the Yankees opening day.

He went hitless. however. in his first nine times at bat and was removed from the line-up. He hit .298 for the Yankees last season.

The Yankees purchased Jensen and lnfieldsr Billy Martin from Oakland of the Pacific Coast Lea- gue for I reported 0100.030 and five players. Oakland had paid Jensen 340.000 to sign with them.

Cassy stensel. New York skip- per. scemedireluctant to give up Wilson. 28. voted the most valu- able player iii the International League last se n. "'f'l'iat boy's a good hitter." s id Case. "with s a chance to play regular he may develop into something. and I'm afraid of that."

Shell. 30. who sparked the Yanks to the pennant in 1047. also won two worlii series runes that year and was credited with the American League's victory in the All-Star game. After that his arm went sour and he n:ver was the same.

Upton. 25. is a fine fielder but It weak hitter. Snyder plays either second base or shortstop.
