Judging from the meeting held at Amherst last Saturday, it looks like hhe Central Baseball League will materialize and function this Summer as a four or possibly five- team League. Although tlie Am- herst Rambler's and the Char-

lottetown Abbles were the only two teams to definitely declare their intention of participating in the league, local representatives attending the meeting said that the proposal was received with enthusiasm by all present, and it was felt that such a league would definitely be in the inter- ests of giving baseball a lift in the centres involved and would be a popular mow in Maritime base- ball circles.

O O O O Despite the fact that only two representatives were sure of their decisions at the Saturday meeting, three others. who are keen on the prospects of having the league, still have to take up izhe matter for the approval of their spon- soring Associations. but gave rea- sonable assurance that they would be participating in the league. Al- though it would be more desirable to have -s four or five-team league. it is understood that the League will operate as long as they have thsce definite entries. O O O O

Those who have to take up the matter ‘further with their local management MO expected to hand down their final decisioxu within the next few days and it h un- derstood that, providing the necessary number of entries are assured, a League organization meeting will be held st. Anthea-st. N. S. this week-end, when start- ing dates, schedules. etc. will be drawn up.

O O O O Aafalrssthisoolumniscon- corned. the prospects of having s local team, or possibly two teams in the Hmvinoe, if Bummerside participates. entered in such a Maritime loop, would be a step in the riglht direction in develop-- ing a better brand of baseball here from both the players and spectators’ point of view. It would give the Island s foothold in an- other brand of Maritime sporting competition. which has earned this Province the admiration and respect of its sister Provinces for its keen competitive spirit in by- gone days, in all branches of athletic endeavour.

It was amtounced recently that a local ladies bowling team, the Glarlotltetown Capitols, will par- ticipate i.n the Maritime Ladies Bowling Tournament which will be held at Fredericton, N. B. on May 16th., 17th. and 19th. The local team, which is captained by MiasGel-tlrude Doyle. is oocrvpolsed of Edna Mclnnis. Grace Paquet, ‘ " Sentner, Jean Dillon and Kay Jay.

O O O O

The tmlrnslnent, which is an annual feature, will see 12 teams representing the various leading Maritime cents-es, compete for the time-province title which is held by the Fredericton Brunswloketos. the defending champions. The Capitols, who are being sponsor'- ed this yeslr by the Sporting Club Roll-Away Bowling Alleys, will leave for Fredericton by csr_ on Sunday. May-filth.

The Halifax record is $7.800, It was mader23 years ago when Mike McTigue, light-heavyweight champ- ion of the world. easily outpointed challenger Roy Mitchell of Halifax. That mark is expected to fall Sat- urday.

Ross, 25-year-old farm boy, hss not.» lost one of his 35 fights since he turned professional, He won the title here last July from veteran Len Wadsworth of Hamilton.

spring comes to Canada once again with a rush of robins. F“)!!! the new province of Newfound- land, all across the Maritlmei. Quebec. Ontario and over the prairie lands as far as cen-tral Al- berta the eastern robin 1s warbliltg his silver flute.

That the bird is not ‘a robin at all but. a. large migratory thrush is of no cohsequenc, save to the professional ornithololrist, and does not influence-tho mom's was to the extent of a single sour note. Robin redbreast the bird was‘ named by first arrivals from Eur- ope in remembsnce of that belov- ed bird "back hcme." and the name will airways stick.

Bird songs have had an irres- istible appeal for Canadian poets. Duncan Campbell Scott tells of the redbreasl/s song in the ailiterative line, “Ringing from the rounded barrow, rolls the robin’: tune." Sir Charles GD. Roberts. 1X1 hi! "Ave" writes. "Again I heard the gong of the glad bobolink. whose lyric throat peeled like a tangle of small bells afloat." Of the same bird, Robert's cousin,_ Bliss Car- man, has a musical llne.."Bobo- llncolns in the meadows, leisure in the purple shadows." Archibald Lamprnan, too. tells of tho bobo- l_ink. "sprinkling his music about the meadows." like ". . . the twinkle of glassy bells."
