The quartet, together with Jim Skelton of Vancouver. have been practising in Baltimore to get used to playing on grass because Canada's grass courts are not yet ready and plavers would be handi- capped in switching from clay.

There was no immediate indicat- ion whst assignments were in store for each of the four but Rochon, 24-year-old southpaw. and Brendan Macken, 25-year-old graduate of William and Mary College at Wliliernsburg, Va., seem- ed good bets for the singles.

The latest Philadelphia siory~or the case of Connie Mack vs. Nelson Potter-takes some of the senti- ment out of the rise of the Ath- letics, says Doug (Windsor Star) Vaughan in giving the low down on the episode. As the popular fav- orites in baseball, the Athletics were supposed to be one big happy family. But look at 'em new!

d- d- d- d-

There is the m-year-oid Mack upbraiding Potter because the young squirt of 36 blew a baJ game. and it's herd to side with the Tali Tactician on this one. Pitchers blow games every day. Some snake a habit of it.’ Potter did win or save three for black since his recent arrival from the Browns. He deserved better treat- ment from Mack.

Ii- ii- d- O All this row seems to prove, says Vaughan, is that the reformation of the Philadelphians, from a chronic, tailender to s pennant threat, has gone to Mack's head... like a pinch of snuff. 1- Ii- i O

There was another symptom a short while ago. That was the day in Philadelphia when Umpire Art Passereila called a game at m» end of five innings on account of rain. The Yankees beat the A's oat of that one-no convincing triumph to be sure-though it ended an eight-game winning streak for the Athletics. , ~ ‘ d- d-

b d Well, sir, Mack took off after Pssserella like an angry bull and he batted him a few times with- -out influencing the umpire tr. change his mind. All this took place on the field in a driving rain- storm before a large crowd, and while Mack actually hurt only Passereilrs feelings he did sublcct the umpire to considerable a use. Only the fact that Connie ck is nobody but Connie Mack dis- suaded Wili Hsrridge, president of the American League, from slap‘. ping a heavy fine on the ontogen-

arian.

The Charlottetown Abegweits have won the first round in their annual set-to with the Summer- side All-Stars, or have they chang- ed the name yet? Our boys went into an early lead, but were un- able to hold it due chiefly to some untimely juggling in the field. Nev,- er mind, folks, it was only the first round, and if Joe Louis can get up off the floor to score o knockout at his age, why can't the Summerside All-Stars (maybe that name was a slight exaggeration) do something similar?

Three times now we have taken on our rivals from the Capital City and have been on the wrung end of the count every time. Cu: Junior Kinsmen had previously gone down to defeat twice at the hands of the Charlottetown Reece

lost a lot of baseball ability, pal‘- ticularly on the attack, with "Bou" Morrison and Jimmie Grady not playing this year. A team can't lose two clouters of that calibre without sagging quite a bit in the batters box. Grady has been ill. keeping him out of the game, and we hope in time he wil be able to get back into the line-up with that explosive willow of his.
