IT’S BEEN A LONG cold winter and a mighty long time seems to have elapsed since race fans viewed some dashes at Charlotte- town Driving Park.

However, the months of waiting have finally rolled away and this is the week that the 1959 harness racing season swings into action. Yes, this* coming Saturday night eight dashes will be

season's racing and folks have the time of their lives. The sea- program which opens Saturday will continue through until at the last Saturday in September with a strong possibility that October will see action as well.

There have been some stirring battles waged over the local racing oval but we have a strong feeling that this summer's battles will surpass anything you've ever seen.

So get all set for four months of thrills galore. Don't miss any of the great excitement which gets away this coming Satur- day night at 8 o'clock

A MOST WELCOME bit of baseball news came Saturday with the word that Summerside is planning a junior baseball team for the coming summer.

Here in Charlottetown, we are to have Junior Legionaires and Baltimore

Junior Abbies certain to get into action. Both these teams are hold- ing daily workouts and are rapidly rounding into shape. There ap-

However, the young Abbies are a hustling band and what they Milwaukee lack in experience they will try to makeup in fight and deter- Phila

Mination. Both teams are well coached and the boys certainly should have no complaint on that score.
