There seems to be an unexpect- ed hitch in ings in the Prince County Softball League. We have had one game—between Legion and Pontiacs, a thriller which Legion won 5-4—but since that time last Thursday there has been no indication when the lea- gue would get rolling again. We had a phone call from Tyne. Va’- ley, and they seem very anxious to get started. They have been practicing for two weeks now. OUR APOLOGIES

Our apologies to Father Mur- naghan of Grand River. We re- ceived his request to give pub- licity to the organizational soft- ball meeting which is being held in Grand River hall tonight. We sent it.in, but it must have got lost in the shuffle. It may not be too late yet to state that re. presentation from communities interested in joining this league are cordially invited to be pre sent at Grand River hall tonght at 8 p.m. Tignish, St. Roch,, Wel- lington, and Grand River have already signified their intentions of joining the league.

We are glad to see this new in. terest in baseball in West Prince. The fires of baseball enthusiasm
