THE GUAZEDIAN,

PAGE seven‘

Baseball received another set- back yesterday when the sched- uled opening of the City Baseball League was halted by wet grounds and it now is likely that the open- llll will be postponed until next Sunday for the heavy rain over the week ruined a lot of work that had been completed and officials close to baseball activities last night were of the opinion that it would take another week's work to get the new diamond back into proper shape.

It was a heartbreaking setback for the workmen who had labored practically from daylight to dark in an effort to have the league open on schedule. Even Saturday afternoon 1t appeared as lf they would beat old man weather but Saturday's downpour put an and. is all ambitions. Much of the work, particularly in the outfield will have to be gone over again when the ground dries out and officials took the right attitude when they considered it would be foolhardy to Play any games over the surface 595°" U)!

The postponement. although it caused keen disappointment among both players and lans will give the three teams an extra week of practice sessions on the old dia- mond. This will not harm them a bit as there are plenty of rough edges to be smoothed out and the smoothing out process should be pretty well completed in a “er seven days. As a result of that fans are very likely to see a much better brand of ball on the alter- noon of June sixth.

I I I I

Regarding junior baseball fans and players are still in the dark regarding the opening of the lea- gue. Teams are working out daily and are said to be fast rounding into condition but are s little non- piussed over the matter of just when the schedule will get unner- WBY- Many of the fans are ol the opinion that the start should be made es soon as possible dnd the quicker a schedule is drawn up the sooner this will come about.

I I I I

In the matter of officials to head

it eppe that objections have been offered to men willing to act. This is not as it should be for in the writer's dealings with officials over the years they have always had the good of the league in question at heart. Not knowing the base of these present objec- tions we are not prepared to offer any comment on the matter but 1t seems that the time is new et hand that an open meeting of all those interested in the junior league should be called and the matter thrashed out. And the sooner the better. I I I I

In regard to this year's baseball season it is quite likely that a large number of mainland teams will be seen in action here against the local squads. In the past couple of seasons Island " have come through with unexpected wins over visiting clubs and at the same time have picked up valuable ‘ex- perience. And then again visits of these clubs have proved to be pep- ular with the fans and they = have played a part in helping to bring baseball back to the popularity it "now enjoys.
