Tennis is expected to get-under- way ior the season at the courts oi the Charlottetown Tennis Club on Saturday next and the many

racquet wielders who have been

itching to get in some practice

games are expected to make s.

formidable onslaught on that date. O O O O

Work on the courts which had been delayed due to unavoidable cricumstances was again in lull swing yesterday and all six play- ing suriaces when completed will compare iavorably with any in Eastern Canada so thorough and painstaking has been the attention given them under the supervision oi Mac MacKlnnon and Jeii Fitz- gerald oi the Grounds Committee and 10b foreman Art King.

O O O O

Courts 1, 2 and_ 3 present a sur- rtace as smooth and even as a bil- liard table and are capable oi standing up under any kind oi tournament play. The remaining three courts, which were more or less a source of worry, have been improved tremendously in the past two weeks and the consensus oi opinion now is that when mid-sea- son arrives they will be on a par with the other three. '

O O O O

No iar removed from the tennis courts work was going on on the new baseball diamond. The week-

~ end'a heavy rain meant a. decided

setback ‘but the workmen are dig- ging in again and are looking ior- ward to having the grounds com- pleted by the latter part oi the

week. .

OOOO

In the meantime no practice sessions will be allowed until alter the league opening on Sunday next. This is a move in the right direction as it will allow the ground to harden sufficiently to save it any possible damage baseball shoes might do to the wet soft suriace. Ball teams are asked to take note oi this and co-operat: fully.

O O

In the meantime City League teams will get in every available workout on the old diamond which has served so well to keep ball go- ing for the past several years. Last night the Rovers were out in iull force while tonight the Million- aires will have a go at it. The squads will likely wind up their training sessions by alternating the remaining three evenings beiore the season's inaugural game.

O O O O ~

Announcement oi the start o! amateur boxing classes hers adds another sport to the already pack- ed schedule oi activities ior the summer months. The Department oi Physical Fitness under whose sponsorship the classes will be con- ducted feel that with proper train- lng many local amateur mittsling- era can hold their own with any

.ln the Maritime-s and in addition

they ieel that the amateur mitt- slinging game can go over big here ii auiiicient is shown.

That amateur tournaments can be very popular was provcn re- cently at‘the staging oi the pre- Olympic trials at Moncton. Col. Bill Reid as head oi’ the Maritime Athletic Union feels that the game can become equally popular here and ths coming classes are open to all eligible tor an amateur card.

O O O O

Gus Longaphie who. had been appointed instructor should prove s capable assistant. Interested keenly in the boxing game ever since he was a mere youngster Gus in his day performed in many bouts in the Msrltimea. A smart boxer he racked up many a victory in those times and the experience he gained in the "bottle-pita" should prove a decided asset when ks starts instructing the novices la the rudiments oi the game.

Barbara Ann Scott ' Turns Professional

BBOOKVILIE. Ont. Juno 1 - (GP) - Barbara Ann Scott turn- ed professional today at the peak o! her amateur career. 1

The IO-year-old queen oi th imam-skating world will donate an u: ‘ ’ percentage oi her earnings to clarity. The rest will go to her as a. salary.

Under tervms oi an agreement announced by her advisers, she will be represented by Music Corporation o! America Artists Ltd., internationally - known booking agency.

M.C.A. also will represent the St. Lawrence Foundation, newly- Iormed charitable organization which will administer Miss Scott's contributions to the welfare oi cripipled and underprivileged

children. . The announcement o! Miss Scott's move into, profemlonal

ran-ks was made simultaneously in Brockville and Toronto by pre- pared statement. Miss Scott is vacationing hear here but could

44,000. There were eighty thousand to see them play a. doubleheader against the Yankees on Sunday. It was raining hali an hour before the game, aitcr a very murky morning. The seats were all sold before 10:30 a.m.

O O O O

Veeck, who had one oi his legs omputdted because oi war wounds received at Guadalcanal, was in hospital in the morning. P-y the fourth inning they wheeled him into the ball pas-k. He had sneaked away from the hospital, and he landed in the park during the first game.

O O O O

l-ie had gone there to tell the Ieuzs that 1i rain iell in the iiith ctr sixth innings oti the first game that rain checks would be honored. He had a special microphone in the press box. He had it poised ii the umpires called the gimme in the iiith or sixth inning. He was going to ormounoe in that event: “Attention, please. This is Bill Veeck. It is a legal game, but your rain chews will be honored and fans may have their money re- iunded l! they vrlslt."

O O O O

That gesture would have cost the club $90,000. It. didn't rain, but Veeck had made all preparations. the umpires had been told about it 1n advance, as well as the news- paper atnd radio men. ‘

O O O O

Veeck has roused a tough base- ball city to appreciation of his hustling club. His latest stunt is the day nursery for parents who wmt to pamk their children in trained hands in the Stadium while they watch a game. Now he is con- atruoting an outdoor stadium ior kidsto play in while their parents bre inside the park.

O O O O

Indians are now the biggest proiitmoking team in baseball. l-le pays Feller $80,000 a ysar and Boudreaal, his nmnager, gets $50,- 000. Just think oi that! Veeck is so for ahead of the rest oi the parade that they are round-heeled trying to keep up wltlrhim.

HE. Caldwell of Prescott, Ont. one oi the tour directors oi tihe Fbundatlon, elaborated on the statement, explaining that MC.- A. will handle Miss Scott's bus- iness arrangements as it sees iit, subieot to the approval cd the Bbundaetion. _

The statement said manage- ment by M.C.A. is nec y "be- cause of the great number oi oi- iers which continue to be iorth- ccrming mm the principal Holly- wood studios, skating and other entertainment interests."

By tunning professional, Miss Scott takes the long-awaited stop which most Canadians consider the logical move in a guy career in which she has won top rank- ing in the sport world.

The announcement had been expected ior weeks. Recently she IC-MCCDtBd an automobile denied her a. year ego because oi its possible eilect on her amateur

status.
