We note that the minor

league baseball groups in the Prince County area are humming right along according to Summerside re- ports and that both the Pee Wet: and Bantam sections aie experi- cn-clng I highly successful season of keen competition to date In fact things have been going so well that the respective leagues will be launching into playoff compet- ition by August 15th. . . 0

The youngsters. who are as keen if not keener about their game than their older baseball brothers. are receiving the full support from Prince County officials. with the Western section of the Depart.-neni of Physical Fitness undcr Jim Hogan. and the Summerslde Kins- men Club Iending their assistance. the former carrying out the or- ganlzatiorral work and the latter doing its share by not only spon- soring teams but supplying other teams in the area with bats. balls

ctc It is a great thing for these youngsters to have such Wt l-or- gantized and sllpcrvisecl groups V.) play in and it is certainly grat- ifying to see that the older hall enthusiasts are showing such 9. keen interest in their activities.

That. is the proper place to start. with the kiddies. if good sports- manship and citizenship is in he built on strong. healthy found- ations. . 0 0

But it is not only in the Western part of the Province that this keen interest in the youngsters is pre- valent. Right here in this City and surrounding areas. the Department of Physical Fitness. Charlotte- town Playground Commission and interested individuals, are giving the local youngsters evcry support and encouragement in developing minr league groups.

. . .

Although the local midget. ban- lam and pee wee groups have not started their actual ieaguc schedules rolling yet. officials are busy drafting up their dates etc. to get them rolling soon. and in the meantime the volunteer coaches, supervisors and the kids them- selves are getting their teams or- ganized and getting in practice daily in preparation for their re- spective league openings. Such basciball enthusiasts as Ev Toombs, Bill Murphy and Charley Ryan. are spending much of their time and experience in organizing and coaching the west. east and north end groups. and all are hopeful of seeing I very keen program in op- eration this season.

. . .

Bill Murphy. in charge of the east end midget group reported last night that he will hold a practice session for that group at the East End Diamond behind Car- ter's warehouse this evening at 5:30 to choose a team that will meet with North End Midgets in an exhibition game at the Old Diamond. Victoria Park on Friday evening. It is understood that the other groups will also hold prac- tice sessions tonlght over their respective playing fields.

. . .

There are a quite a few versatile sportsmen and sportswomen who participate in a number of sport- lng fields in the course of a sum- mer, or winter as the case may be. but usually take them one at a time. It is understood however, that one enthusiastic lady golfer of the Charlottetown Gclf Club, decided to mix both golf and swim- ming all at the one time at the Belvedere course last week.

. .. .

It appears that the lady in quest- ion. was thoroughly enjoying a few rounds over the 18-hole course, and- had succeeded i.n reaching the ninth hole. when the dual per- formance occurred. Like all good golfers do at times. she sliced I drive, which ultimately took the ball to its resting place at the edge of the brook which wends its way through 'that particular part of the course. Intent on her game, .1. though no doubt put out by the

miscue, she was endeavouring to retrieve her ball from the brink of the babbling brook when she

lost her balance and tumbled in. 0 C O

Refusing to be put out by inciden however. the lady golfer took ru "advantage of the situat- ion and enjoyed a few swim strok- es in the refreshing atmosphere of the creek before retiring to the clubhouse in I wet. but otherwise undampened spirit. Whether or not the lady would recommend the treatment for irate golfers, is not known. but it might not be I bad idea. It would sure cool off those club-busters in I hurry. It is not. known whether the swimming. golfer added those extra strokes. taken in the brook, to her tIlly or not.

Pennant Races Close With Ten Weeks To Go

NEW YORK. July 24-(AP)- The New York Yankees' red-hot home stand and Brooklyn's fine road trip leave both pennant races in a jumble with 10 weeks to go.

Since the all-star game break. the Yanks swept eight of 11 on the home lot to pull within lli games of leading Detroit. Eight out of 12 wins by Brooklyn on the road left the Dodgers in third place. two games back of first- place Philadelphia.

Cleveland Indians. 'moving up fast in the American League, took eight of 12 on their third casiern trip. They're only 3V: back of De- troit. their high mark for the season. The Tigers continued their pennant race with seven out of 12 in the east.

Overlooked in the tumult and shouting about the Yanks, Dodg- ers and Indians has been a surge by Boston Red Sox. Digging in at Fcnway Park for a stay, the Red Sox knocked off the west, 9-4. Still 616 games behind De- troit. they can become an import-

-ant factor with a successful west-

ern trip.

Most of the clu-bs had an off day for travel today. Tomorrow they'll all be back on a full night sched- ule. The American League's cast will be in the west and the Nat- ional League west will be in the cast.

The Red Sox run into an im- pcriant road block right of! the bat. Three in Detroit. followed by four in Cleveland should tell their story for 1050. The Yanks have it a bit easier. opening in St. Louis. They go into Chicago next and wind up next week in Detroit and Cleveland.

After Boston's visit. the Tigers face Philadelphia. They switch opponents with Cleveland which opens tomorrow against the A's and then gets the Red Sox.

There is no waste motion in the National where a St. Louis-at- Brooklyn serics tomorrow night opens the firing. After Ebbeis Field for three days. the Cards hit New York. Boston and Phila- delphia in order.

The Phils won seven and lost eight in the west. good enough to take them into Pittsburgh on their final stop with the league lead.

Second division clubs come into Shibe Park to play the Phils be- fore the Cardinals arrive Aug. 4 for a four-game set. Chicago- Plttsburgh and Cincinnati precede St. Louis.

But second division cloubs caus- ed plenty of trouble during the intersectional series just ended. The lowly Cincinnati Reds won eight of 14. including a double- header sweep from the Dodgers- The New York Giants also picked tip, moving into fifth place ahead of Chicago by taking seven of 13 on the road.
