nsociated with Milwaukee and Herman Wehmeier. ’ It was the same night that Herman raise to such great pitéh- mg heights that Bobby branded himself as an airch enemy of

~ the Braves and all their ardent fans. It was not with the bat that <Del Greco tortured Haney and his Braves that night but it was

his sensational play in the outfeld that wont. soon be forgotten. « Bobby was all over the lot breaking the hearts of the peignanb obby grabbed at least four that were labelled for extra bases and kept the Cards on top and Wehmeier in the ball game. Bobby is now demoted to the International League but he must, like Wehmeier and Milwaukee Braves, have memories of that crucial night in St. Louis when the Red Birds refused to be

The Dodgers never will forget what Bobby Thomson did to them in 1951. Neither will Milwaukee forgive the feats of Del Green and Wehmeier that fateful night at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. ‘ '

Johnny Longden got himself into some hot. water recently and it cost him a $100 to get himself righted again.

The well-known jockey incurred the anger of the board of stewards at Golden Gate Field, California for “conduct' detri-

mental to the best interests of racing”.

, In the Golden Gate Handicap, Longden finished fifth with ‘(Tall Chief and there were boos from the crowd. Stewards were told that Longden stopped, faced the crowd, tipped his hat and ‘put his thumb to nose.

King's County fans like their baseball and they're going to get at it right away.

Their schedule has been released and action commences on twofioiits this Sunday afternoon. Souris plays at Peakes and Georgetown entertain last year’s cliamipions, Morell. . The fifth team in the loop is Mount Stewart. They open their season the following Sunday at Souris.

These folks in King’s are not waiting till fall to get interested in baseball. They’ll be there by the hundreds ‘at Peakes and Georgetown this coming Sunday to cheer their favourite team. And it won’t be the home team that will get all the cheers. Both Souls and Morell outﬁts will have their own supporters travel with them as they invade Peakes and Georgetown.

It's a terrific spirit and one that could stand some copying both in Queen's and Prince. _ , Here's hoping good we-ather_favo:s the openers this Sunday.’

We read recently where a Vancouver boxer disqualified him- self from the Canadian Boxing championships and a possible trip in Cardiff, Wales, for the British Empire Games, for wearing it the referee.

This brought to our mind something that has annoyed us for Iloiig time. It is the matter of filthy language on the hockey 1‘ 1111‘ Ind on the hall diamond and football field.

We think that far too much of this has been allowed to S0 Iiliiioticed around here. We have too often heard foul. indecent - “herances from players who thought they were imipressing some- Ywith their dirty language. We can understand a Player bhwillg his top once in 3 while but even then hisbaid temper should not be accompanied by putrid talk.

Officials should rule with a firm band in this regard and make 30 exceptions when offenders of this ldnd appear. Throw them out of the game without any questions asked.

The game will be far better off without them.

BOSTON -- Cracking into the baseball major leagues is equally as tough for Canadians as it is for Americans to enter the National Hockey League, Not since Phil Marchild-on and Dick Fowler were regular pitchers with the Phila- delphia Athletics between 1940 to 1952 has at Dominion citizen been able to hang on to a berth.

But the barrier may be broken again now that Boston Univer- sity’: terrific pitching prospect Don MacLeod of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island is nearly finished his senior year. »

The righthanded fire-ball vete- ran has been pitching in compet- ition since he was 15 years old and now feels that he could make the big step to a professional job in the majors.

One of three sons, Don's bro- ther David plays hockey and track at BU. Nineteen year-old Roger is a senior at Prince of Wales in Charlottetown and also participates actively in sports.

“It‘s all a matter of interest and personal ability," said the 21 year-old hiurler. “.l’ve played the outfield. short-stop and sec- ond base and have pitched in learning the game. I've always played in leagues with older fel- lows since I was very young," MacLeod continued.

The 5-11, handsome atlileie has won 12 games for BU during his three varsity seasons, in addi- tion to winning All-America re- cognition as a. hockey defenseman this past winter. The campus newspaper has named him Stu- dent-Athlete of the Year. 1957-58

The Terriers are enjoying one of their best. diamond seasons in several years and the soft. spoken Canadian young man has played an important role.

MacLeod has allowed eight earned runs in 37 innings and five games for a 1.94 ERA. He has struck out 47. walked 23, and given up 23 hits. His H) triumph over Connecticut. recently was a masterpiece with 15 strikeouts and just three hits for the Huskies.

Oddly enough. the only other Canadian to get near the majors

DON (DUCK) MacLEOD

Charlottetown Player Set For Jump Into Big Time

in recent. years is a former friend of l\/lacLeorl's. He's Los Angeles owned Bill llarris who has been at Montreal in the in- ternational League the last few seasons.

Young Donnie had just com- pleted high school and was pitch- ing for the Abbies Junior Teani in Charlottetown. His coach was Randy Edwards, a former stu- dent at BU’s School of Education and an outstanding outfielder.

When MacLeod, just 17, struck out 29 in a 13-inning game against an older team, Edwards contact- ed BU baseball Coach Harry Cleverly about this northern plie- nom. MacLeod entered BU’s Lisb- eral Arts College in 1954 and has majored in pre-med biology,plan- ning for a dentistry career.

Soon after MacLe0d also proved his prowess on the ice and played

‘with a great BU Pups team that

won 13 of 14 contests. His first freshman baseball season he had a five: win, two loss record and clouted a ball over the Braves right field wall, well over 400—f-e.et.

The next summer he returned -home and pitched for Liverpool in the Halifax and District League. Ma.cLeod captured 14 wins in 16 games and his team won both the regular season title and the play-offs. '

The well-built pitcher I‘i£’.i.ll[’l'lé‘.(‘i to school only to find several five-figure offers awaiting his signature. Macbeod continued his schooling offering this statement.

"I was flattered with the offers, but my obligation was to the University, They gave-me -the op- portunity to get a. fine education and prepare for a career in den- tistry."

With less than a month until graduation, MacLeod looks ahead to a baseball career. “I'm just. interested in playing. I'm not very particular, in fact I don’t really have a favorite team, th- ough Ted Williams is my favorite baseball player."

This season Mac-.Leod has wins over Boston College, Northeastern Uconn, and MIT, but lost to Tufts. His remaining assignments

will be against Springfield, Bos-

ton College, and possibly Holy Cross. ’

Pitching in eight. of the 'l‘erriers games. playing second base cen- terfield in the others, Don Mac- Leod has been a 100 per cent contributor to the 1958 BU nine.

There may be another Canad- ian in the baseball major leagues some year.
