Baseball is most certainly in one dismal state in Charlotte- ‘own. All the ballplayers, with only a few exceptions seemed to have forsaken that historic game for sofitball—with gloves no less. As a result it would appear that we are to have an entire ‘ eason with no organized basegall activity hereaabouts.

We understand the local Legion is sponsoring a junior aggre- ation, which is all well and good, yet one team can hardly pro~ ide enough baseball to suit the appetites of the hard core of 00:11. baseball followers, which seemingly is shrinking with every ass1ng year. '

hose who argue that it is just one of those things; an in between period or cycle as some are prone to term, it. lit will. they say, ake a turn for the better in a few years and come back stronger than ever. ‘

We certainly hope so. It is a downright pity to have a base

all diamond as fine as the one at Memorial Field—equipped with lights—but with practically no teams to play on it. We know the softball league is using Memorial Field and providing a lot of entertainment for sports fans, but in this writer‘s esti- mation softball—especially played with gloves—never has been ,1) and never will be the game that baseball is. . From what we have observed in our travels during the past ‘. few months, Charlottetown can well be proud of Memorial Field. We have seen literally dozens of baseball parks throughout the Greater Boston area where high school, American Legion and semi-pro teams struggle, but not more than one or two would we consider any better than our own diamond at Memorial Park, 'hen it is in its best playing condition,

There are only a handful —if that—of parks in Greater i nstmi (pop. better than 2,000,000) that are equipped with lights or night games. Usually the diamonds have a grass infield. A‘ not because they wanted it that way. but out of sheer necessity. Boston doesn‘t enjoy the fine clay of P.E.l.. and therefore has to WW a grass infield in order to keep the entire playing surface than being; blown away by the wind.

NEW YORK (AP)—-Lew Mey— ers, coAmanager of New Bruns- wick's Yvon Durelle, said Mon- day he hoped to talk with pros- ident Truman Gibson of the In- ternational Boxing Club today about a title match with light heavyweight boxing champion Archie Moore. Meyers indicated a mid—October date was a pos- sibility.

Montreal promoter Eddie Quinn wants to land the fight. So does promoter Earl Kalvanvi of Van- couver who has contracted Chris Shaban, Durelle's other manager.

Kalani has the $100,000 that Moore wants for a fight” said Shaban in Monoton, N.B., “all I have to do is sign. However, I think I may be able to get a bet- ter financial deal in Montreal. And Yvon would be more at home there. We‘ll wait and. see what happens Tuesday."
