Akins, 31, reputedly has quite a punch for a welterweight. As a matter of fact that’s whai won him the welter title with a knock- | out against Vince Martinez last June in the free-for-all rush for Carmen Basilio’s vacated crown.

But the heaviness has gone from Akins’ fists and seemingly settled in his legs. The tipoff came when Akins dropped a non- title decision to a dancing master from way back, Del Flanagan. Honéybear Virgil was no more impressive against the 24year- old Jordan, who is part Apache.

The next question was: “Are md becoming a nation of spectators and not participators?”

Harvey: “‘There used to be plenty of teams for older fellows. There aren't any now. I guess golf and TV have taken the place of) those basball and hockey teams.”’| NON-TEAM SPORTS i Etcheverry: “People are more interested in fishing, hunting and golf than in playii : team: sparts.”’

O’Quinn: “It’s the older people who are becoming the spectators They want to relax in front of their TV sets or on the golf course. I guess it’s our modern pace of living.

Curry: “Over the years teen- agers have become disinterested in sport. There's a_ lack coaches, not as many young hockey players end too much TV. We are spoiling the teen-ager; he hasn't any desire left.”

There seems to be some real interest in organizing a league in Prince County goon as postsible.. We talked some of last year’s players they say, by all means, let’s started early this year. Last there were two teams from side, the: Pontiacs and , and two rural teams, Traverse and Tyne Valley. Legion team which won the | E. L-N.S. Intermediate “B” last year, will no doubt be again this season. The jacs are more of a question . The personnel of the team year was comprised largely baseball players, and most of deserted the softball cir- to play junior daseball late the season.

Wf these boys want to play this year they should for baseball early in the son and forget about softball. ching to the hardball game before plays-offs is certainly likely to produce a very ef- ball club. Baseball is a that takes a lot of practice. softball all season with throwing distances and batting. conditions in- sved would tend to throw’ a out of wack, and it would oa lot of time to get re-ad- . The boys shou'd decide now to play either softball paseball, and stick to this de-

may well be that Sum-

So it ide will have only one sofi-

ball team this year with the overflow of talent joining the rural teams to give them a bit more depth. Now don't get us wrong. There are a number of those Tyne Valley and Cape Traverse players who are about on a par with the town lads, but they find it difficult to field enough of them. This is quite matural in the. smaller centres. The RCAF softball: tossers may decide to cast their lot with our league this year, and, if they do, perhaps they could field two teams of similar caliber to the other clubs. This would make a five-team league which might kick up a lot of interest.

If Rev. Findley, our Prince County softball league president, would see fit to call a meeting of the league fairly soon, and if RCAF representatives were invit- ed, and perhaps new rural teams that might’ wish to enter, we might cook up a pretty fine cir- cuit this spring.

We'd like to see a baseball team in Summerside this summer, either Junio: or Intermediate, depending on which would be con- sidered to make use of the most available players, and present the opposition with less chance for victory. But, for Pete's sake. let’s get the thing started before the pumpkins start to ripen. How would the Aces have ‘fared last

winter if they decided in the ‘last week of February to organize a
