The Ahbies were left out on a limb after having sold so many tickets for a game that didn't come off. About all they could do was offer a refund o anyone who

wanted it. Since then arrange- ments havc almost been com- pletcd for a game here Sunday

with Springhiil. Anyone wishing to use their ticket for that game may do so.

We think the saddest part. of It. all is not so much that anywhere from 800-1,000 people paid 50 cents for a game that failed to come off but that I great chance was lost to give baseball 1 real shot in the arm. It has been 1 long time since such a crowd turned tip at Memorial Field for a baseball game and that game

The weather was quite warm and Memorial Field was in perfect playing shape. thanks to some fine work on the grounds by Earl (Diver) Riggs. We probably will never know for certain now but It is quite possible tat a good per- centage of those tans might have been bitten once again by the haseball bug and once again Char- lottetown baseball would be bo- omlng.
