BIG DON NEWCOMBE is having a bit of fun this season with

the Cincinnati Redlegs.

Newk, who starred for the old Brooklyn Dodgers when Flatbush crew was a real power, boosted his record to 4-4 the other) nizht with a 2-1, seven-hit job on Philadelphia Phillies. For Don it}

the

NOW HE HBAS his confidence back and after those three wins in @ row for Cincinnati he must be feeling like the Newcombe of 1955. His pitching and his hitting once more are respected by the oppos-

ition in the National league and that makes Newk feel good in- |

deed. With his confidence restored he might go on to really great

things in the 1959 season.

Newcombe and the Redlegs really hope so. And so do all base- ball fans who like te witness a great performer make a successful

comeback.

WE UNDERSTAND the City Softball League officials will get together over the weekend to iron out a few details. Undoubtedly the balance of the league will be on the agenda and the energetic executive will make every effort to see to it that nothing spoils the competition in the loop. Competition must be keen if interest is to be-maintained among players and spectators. :

So far this season there have been some pretty fair games at | the old diamond. In the other hand, a few of them left a whole lot |

to be desired. Of course they can’t all ‘be on a par and in every league. you run into poor contests. Even the National and Ameri- ean leagues have their share of these.

We do feel, however, that every effort will be made to see to it that the league is kept on a sound basis. If any team fails to show anything like the ability to compete, they will have to pull up their

socks or be out of there.

Interest must be maintained for the success of any loop.

THE FEVER is rising in regard to Saturday night’s opening \ race card at Charlottetown.

Everywhere you gé you'll find someone talking horse and mak-

{ng a prediction on

outcome of Saturday night’s dashes.

Of

course it’s so early in the season that no dash should have any heavy favourite. You just don’t know what to expect of the horses

in May. After a couple of weeks favourites will be the order of |

the night but right now no horse will be considered a rank out-

sider.

And that makes Saturday’s menu all the more appetizing. The ling (3). parti-mutuel customers should be pretty well divided in their likes | “gnd that should make for some.healthy pays from the mutuel | Pittsburgh

cashiers.

_ All we need to get rolling in great style is a real break from the weatherman. Just about any night this week would have been

‘deal for the opening show.

Let’s hope there’s still another fine evening left for the gate-

vay.

BILLY LOES is surely making Paul Richards, Baltimore Orio-| oh: J jes’ manager, glad that the deal with Washington Senators wna |e . oe 2 ee eee

salled off.

The tempermental Billy recently came through with his eighth |

saving game and every time out he has looked good. The sore arm trouble seems to have disappeared and Loes is now one of the big reasons why the Birds are challenging both the Cleveland In-

dians and the Chicago White Sox.

Loes has a bot of pitching ability and has shown it in the past.

’

A lot of Billy's trouble previously seemed to be in his tempera- ment. Perhaps Richards has found the key to Billy's success. Richards, Loes and a lot of other folks surely hope so.

Keith Dalziel, who did mound duty with the Irish last year, was pitching for the losers. He walked two and struck out none He had shaky backing by his} teammates,_nine miscues being committed.
