GITITITIIIITE 1'0

The first general baseball meet- ing of the season was held at the

Charlottetown Armouries last evening. It was not a largely at- tended meeting, but there is noth- ing unusual about that, as it is nearly always that way here as far as initial hall meetings are concerned. But at. least those who were in attendance have made a start in the right direction. That of getting'together to talk over and decide on what they want to have in the way of baseball this summer. 0 O O

The prime purpose of the meet- ing was to look into the possibilit- ies of having a City Baseball Lea- gue in operation this year and if such a league was feasable and would get the support of the play- ers in the City. to form the league as such. and if not. to decide on what league would be s-uitmble. The small attendance. however, was not considered sufficient to get a good cross-section of opinion, and no definate decisions were reach- ed.

Nevertheless, those present held a wide discussion on the formation of a City League and also the pos- sibility of resuming the Island Physical Fitness League in operat- ion here last season. Many indiv- idual opinions were expressed whioh brought out points for and against both leagues

I 0 0

Those in favor of a City League felt that if they could develop a four-team league, they would do away with a lot of extra travel and expense, such as would be entail-- ed in an Island League with Sum- merside or other points. and still produce a brand of ball that would please loc-al fans. Tlielr idea is to pool the players and develop four evenly balanced teams which would make for better competition. in- stead of one or two teams padding their iosters with all the best players and overshadow-in-g the rest. of the league entries.

. . .

There was also considerable dis- cussion given to the carrying on of the island League. some were against carrying on the way it was last year with only one team from the City competing against two from Summerslde, namely Curran and Briggs and R. C. A. F. which meant that the local squad had to play two games away from home to every one played

here. It was suggested however. that If there were two teams entered from Charlottetown, it

would strike (1 better balance. This possibility would have to he look- ed into further before any dc- finite move could he mndc. and would depend greatly on what the teams from the Western Capital are planning for (hi: season. 0 O 0

There were a number of factors involved in connection with both leagues that the meeting felt couldn't be determined at the mo- ment. and it was decided that it would be advisable to wait and see what other groups were propos- ing to do before nny definite de- cisions were made. It was sug- gested that another meeting should be held at a later date when more definite information on the var- ious set-ups were known. and that a mass meeting of all players should be held and an effort made to have a good turnout so that the different problems can he ihrcshed out in a manner suit- able to all concerned; .

0 - .

Although no definite policy was reached. the meeting did serve a useful purpose. That of creating interest in the forthcoming sea- son. and getting things rolling in an effort to bring the situation to a head. Getting the various players and officials thinking about the problems confronting them and ironing out the Wrinkle! is the only way that a successful season can he assured. and last night's meeting was in start to- wards that end.

Says "iiiiieii Twice As Fast As 10 Years Ago ,

LINDSAY, Ont. May 1 - (CP) -Hockey may not be as pretty a spectacle now but it's twice as fast as It was 10 years ago, says Aubrey (Dlt) Clapper.

Clapper. who was a Nalionnl Hockey League player for 20 sea- sons. thinks the pace of the mod- ern game is so terrific that only ii slnr could sfny in the big time for as long as 10 years.

There are just as many stars In hockey now as ever but they don't show up under the present style of play. the former coach of Boston Bruins told the Lindsay junior hockey team at a banquet last night.

"Nowadays it's shoot the puck in and get in after it as fast us you can." he said. "You donit see the tliree-mun passing plays you used to. However. although the play may not be ns pretty to watch. it's twice as fast as it was 10 years alto-"

Clapper-who started with the Bruins in the 1927-28 season as I right winger. shifted to the de- fence 10 years inter and coached for two more season after his re- tirement as a player-picked Milt Schmidt an the greatest hockey

ipiayer he has ever seen. And he

thought the greatest forward line was the Schmidt-Bobby Bauer- Woody Dumart threesome.

The final score. 5-4 in overtime. was as close as the early game: of the tense series. It was the first time in five years the League's finale had gone the distance, the Royals taking the best-ofaseven competition 4-8.

Yankees Traded H Wakefield In Good Failh

NEW YORK. May 1 -(AP) - Ncw York Yankees today said they traded outfielder Dick Wake- field to Chicago White sax in "good faith." nricl consider him the pmpcrly of the Chicago club.

Frniik Lane, general manager of the White sox, said yesterday he was crtncelling the deal because Wakefield icfuscd to report un- less he got a 35.500 raise in salary.

Wn-kefirld. in Ann Arbor, Mich., said he would quit briscbali before he'd report to the Chicago club for less than t:2,:3:it)-tlie pay he drcw at Dciioit last year,-or re- turn to the Yanks.

George Weiss, grncrai mtinagcr of Yaiiki-es, issued the following

statement in New York after an exchange of messages ll'iT.l1 Chi- cagn officials.

"In the judgment of the New York club we have in good faith made an outright deal with the

Chic-:igo club. selling to them the contract. of iticbnrd Wakefield.

"There were no coriditiniis in the deal Wl'lf'll it was made. We have lived up to all our obligations in irnirklng the deal. We have forwarded Wrikeficld's papers and contract through the regular chan- nels.

"We are therefore taking the stand the player is the property of the Chicago ball club.”

The Yankees declined to say what; their next sirp will be to end the impasse. The issue probably will be taken to Commissioner A. B. Chnricilcr if both sides persist in their stand.

MONTREAL. May 1 - (OP) - Laurent Dauthuiile of France acor- od 5 seventh-round technical knockout over New York's Steve

" ' in a 10-rounder here to- night that was booed from start to finish.

Referee Tommy Sullivan stopped the fight just after. the seventh got under way -when Belloise was unable to offer any 1151313506 to the free-swinging Frenchman. Bel- loise weighed 161 and Dauthullle

158.

Belloise held a three-pound mar- gin over the flashy Frenchman. But; maybe it was Dauthuille's 26 years that counted so heavily against the New Yorker who was unable to toss more than a dozen punches throughout the one-sided affair.

A near-capacity crowd of 11,5VJ contributed a gross gate of 344,- 353.

In the opening round, Belloise went down twice under the French- man's heavy artillery. The first time for an eight-count under the impact of a solid right. He had just regained his feet when the Frenchman hit him again and Bel- loise slumped to the canvas for a count of four when the bell saved him.
