April-is fading “out andthe; game of softball is just “around a couple of corners. Which re- minds us that the Prince County softba]l league wasn't exactly what you'd call -exciting last year. Mainly because the R.C.A.F. whose players used to | form a solid coré of each of-the teams in the league decided to collect their best players all in one team — the R.C.A.F. Ea- gles, which ‘under the capable coaching of Jim Jenkins went on to win the Maritime title. ‘ This naturally gave them a great deal of satisfaction, but all summer they made, a shambles of the Prince County League. They were too ‘good, and in the ab- sence of closely contested matches, fans started to dwindle in numbers until very few both-

—ared to_attend the games.

edly be lower, and we'd certain- | ily miss the smooth play of the \Airforce boys, but at least the games would be closer, and‘close games are a must to hold the at- | tention of the fans. The occasion- | | jal lopsided game is bound: to oc- | cur, under any circumstance, | but no one wants to see a! dreary monotony of such con) tests throughout the summer. |

We were talking to: Paul Mac- | \Williams during his stay in Sum- merside. Bill Dickie and he a going back to Halifax to attend | some banquets-in honor of the | Junior Canadiens before they re- | turn to Summerside for the sum- | mer. Paul said he got an invita- tion to attend the Montreal-Can-| adien: Juniors hockey camp this

year. He said Riee, the boy from | Pictou, N.S. also got an invita- |

We don’t blame the R.C.A.F. management for gathering to- gether all the stars so that they could win Maritime honors, and

we're not sure that this can be arranged in any other way. Per- haps the: Eagles could divide their players evenly among the teams in the Prince County league, thus insuring the neces- sary balance, and yet register their best team for Maritime play. If this could be dotie, we could have a close exciting lea- gue, and the Eagles. could still go after the Maritime bacon at the end of the season. If this eannet be done, or if the RCAF refuse te do it, then we strongly recommend that the delegates of the other teams in the league at the annual meeting vote against including the Eagles in the Prince County league. This might attract a lot more boys from Summerside and vicinity to play softball, and gradually raise the standard of play of such a league. For a while the caliber of play would undoubt-

teams, both boys and girls, lost | their first games by small mar- | gins, but they still have a chance to be the final winners if they can take two straight from Birchwood High boys and Queen Charlotte’ High girls.
