Last year Cape Traverse and Summerside Legion played some thrilling games with little to choose between the two clubs. Those contests had all the ele- ments that make sports attrac- tive to fans. Spectacular fielding, lusty hitting, good pitching, and suspense. The R.C.A.F. played some good games with Summer-

SPORTS FRONT
By rms CALLAGHAN ».
Manager Fred Haney of the World Champion Milwaukee Braves claims he is not disturbed by the early batting failures of Bob Hazle, Andy Pafko and Harry ‘I-Ianebrink. This trio were Hank Aaron’: flankers in all but one of the first six games. Their composite batting average was .095, with four hits in 42 at bats.
Haney figures the club has been doing fairly well without their help and he’s certain they'll start hitting" soon and when they do the Braves will just be that much harder to beat. =
Haney has not trade talk. Asked about Pittsburgh Pirates the
Milwaukee manager exclaimed “they’ve got only one player on that»
club that I’d want anyway." "He wouldn't name the player. General manager Joe L. Brown of the Bucs heard about the remark and said that if the player Haney referred to was Roberto Clemente the Braves were out of luck. Said Brown. “Milwaukee has as much chance of getting Clemente, as we have of getting Am-on. We wouldn't trade him even, If they gave us Warren
pahn. That discussion should be closed. t 0 0 O 0
It comes from no less an authority than Warren Giles himself that the idea of bringing another club to New York is dead.
The president of the National League claims the issue is dead 1 the moment and nothing has been heard from the mayor’: com- mittee. Giles was in New York to meet American League presi- dcntedwtll Hai-ridge, but the New York situation wasn't even dis- cuss .
New York this time last season had three teams. Yankees, Giants and Dodgers. Giants and Dodgers have since been taken
~ over by San Francisco and Los Angeles, and Yankees remain the
only New York entry in either league.
It's a strange situation, yet nevertheless true. Philadelphia Hills have been adopted in a manner, that is their games are being carried by New York ‘radio. and. teleyision.
As of Sunday night Los Angeles Dodgers had wonlfive of the 12 they had played in this young National League pennant race and a gentleman by the name of Johnny Podres had accounted for canactly 60 percent of those victories. Fred Kipp grabbed one win and veteran Carl Erskine got credit for the other triumph.
Last week when Padres got his second win there were fears for his future as he was unable to finish the chore due to a sore arm. But Sunday Johnny was in there again against the Cardinals and once more he was able to get the Dodgers home in front.
Podres’s early showing is as refreshing to Los Angeles and
‘their supporters as Don Drysdale is disappointing. The youthful
Drysdale like Podres has gone to'the hill three times but there the similarity ends. Don lost those three decisions.
Sunday when the old Brooks beat the Cardinals you would hardly recognize the outfit. The old guard was very nearly all absent. Only Hodges and Gilliam would be recognized by former Brooklyn fans. But the youth movement paid off as St. Louis Cardinals were clobbered in the final and deciding game’ of a three game set. It was Dodgers‘ first series win of the season and probably an omen of better things to come. ,
Dodger top brass are figuring that they are mighty lucky to be where they are with one hurler carrying the load. They trailed the top-running Giants by three games (as of Sunday night) but that was not too bad a situation in the face of the pitching they have been receiving. They believe that Drysdale is too good a hurler to continue his losing ways and that Newcombe, McDevitt, Erskine. Craig and company will soon get on the right road.
Their figuring seems reasonable ii.deed and if they are right then Dodgers still are a threat for the National League bunting.
We still hold to that belief and we are still going with those’
Detroit Tigers who trail the pace-setting Yankees by only two games. 0 O O I Q
Who said there’s anything wrong with the Dodgers-Giants rivalry?
- In the first six games between the transplanted clubs this spring they drew nearly 100,000 more fans than they did in their first six against each other last year when the Giants called New York home and the Dodgers were from Brooklyn. The total to see their games on the west coast was 225,912, compared to 126,459 for 1957 In New York and Brooklyn.
And this is only the beginning. Giants h ,ve responded to the change of climate by heading the National League and displaying power that was never expected of them. Dodgers were supposed to be a team that would keep Los Angeles interested all the way through the schedule. They may do that even yet and Giants may refgse ltlo be moved to the second division where they were supposed to we . ‘
For both clubs it logks like a. great year— a‘. least financially.
What about some baseball and softball activity on the. local front. We are at least a month ahead of last year and as yet
nobody has as much as called a meeting of either sport to see.
what interest there is among players and teams. We think it time that someone took the bull by the horns and
got something moving. We could have some really great weather,
in May'that would be ideal for both these sports. Lei S_get a move on. eargegéllinplayers should be getting down to business soon.

town courts still remain and interest is a far cry from that of.
20 or 25 years ago.
Can the interest be restored at least in part. We would cer-‘
tainly like to see it happen because tennis is really a great game, a game which calls for great skill if it is to be played properly. _ How about a revival?
force blue had a little too much polish, and their all too evident superiority took away most of the suspense, which is, perhaps, the most important ingredient in a sporting struggle, especially from the standpoint of the spec- tator. Watching a game is like reading a book. If you know, or even have a pretty fair idea how everything is going to end, much of the interest evaporates. True, Summerside did beat the Airforce boys once, but usually there was just enough of a dif- ference in the teams to rule out good old spine-tingling suspense.
We think if a league could be formed consisting of Summer- side, Cape Traverse, and two teams from the Airport, it might turn out -to be a well-balanced circuit with no shoo-in, or no habitual cellar-dweller in the
It's Hard
LONDON (AP) — The start of the World Soccer Cu-p champion- ship is only six weeks off, but try- ingtopickthewinnernowisjust as hazardous a business as it was 112 months ago.
“It's going to be the most open championship ever,” commented Waiter Winterbottom. manager of England's team.
The new-look England team. with its replacements for stars killed in -the Munich plane crash Feb. 6, appears to hold the key to the big guessing game.
England goes on a continental tour early inilviay for matches against Yuuoslavia (in Belgrade (May -511) and against Russia (ni Moscow May 18)—-key matches in assessing World Cup form.
WINS WILL HELP
“Victories in those matches will give us plenty of confidence for the start of the World Cup in Sweden June 8," Winterbottom said.

Charlie Ballem is to be com- mended on the results of his work with the Summerside High School basketball team. Under his guidance the boys picked up a lot of savvy. Mike Scott is about the best lay-up artist in Island scholastic circles. Eddie Boates‘ long set-shots were hit- ting surprisingly often towards the end of season, and Dick Cos- ton who has more basketball ex- perience than the others ran sec- ond to Scott in scoring. W-alter “Butch" Bethel is a real “Take charge" guy under the basket_ and his defensive playing has meant much to the team’s effec- tiveness. Don “Yank" MacEac« - ern, tantalizing to ball players as a hairshirt breaks into a rash of basket swishing when you least expect it. Winston Smith. one of the relief hands. showed a lot of promise late in the sea- son, and Eric Gemmel, Joe Dunsford, and Earle Campbell all contributed their share.
Duke Snider was docked a day’s pay amounting to $275, which isn't exactly chicken feed, for horsing around with a base- ba-ll until he derailed a muscle in his arm. He claims he has often fooled around like that without ever being reprimanded for it. It seems horseplay is okay just so long as you don’t get a charley-horse. If you do, that’s a horse of another color.

NEW YORK (AP) Los Angeles Dodgers are running ahead of the all-time record at- tendance pcae while spearhead- ing a National League increase of more than 50 per cent over last seasno.
The Dodgers have hauled in 377,601 customers in nine appear- ances at Los Angeles Coliseum. When Cleveland Indians set the big league record of 2,620,627 in their pennant-winning 1948 ‘season they had 357,844 after nine home games.
Milwaultee Braves, who estab- lished the National League mark of 2,215,404 paid admissions last season, drew 196,746 in their first nine games in County Stadium in 1957.
The Dodgers had a gate total of 109,520 in nine Erblbets Field games a year ago. The capacity in the Brooklyn park is 32,111 and
in the Coliseum it is about 94.000. HEALTHY SURGE
San Francisco Giants also show a healthy increase. Al.tlioug'h the capacity in Seals Stadium is less than half that of the P010 Grounds (23,448 to 52,000.), the Giants have played before 168,728 home fans. I=n as many showings in New York in 1957 only 68.695 turned out.
In addition to the Giants and Dodgers, only the Ohicago Cubs and St. Louis Oardinals are ahead of last season's attendance fig- ures. Milwaukee is 6,000 behind. Philadelphia and Cincinnvatirtrail by 25,000 and Pittsburgh by 22.- 000. American League attendance -shos an approximate 11-per-cent decrease, largely due to a gate -slump by New York Yankees.
The loop has had 601,894 cus- tomers compared with 677,022.
Durelle Must Defend Crown
QUEBEC, ~ (CP) — The Bri- tish Commonwealth champion- ship committee has ruled Yvon Durelle of Baie Ste. Anne, N. B., must defend his light heavy- weight British Empire title with- in three months against Mike Holt of South Africa. Holt is top contender in the light heavy- weight class.
Gene Letourneau, national com- missioner of the Canadian Box- ing Federation, said today he has received a letter asking him to notify Durelle of the decision taken April 24.
The letter asked Letourneau to advise Durelle that unless he defends his title within the time limit set the Commonwealth Em- pire championship committee will consider whether the title should be declared vacant. Durelle won his British, Com- monwealth title last May in a fight against Gordon Wallace of Brantford, Ont.
