Tennis Outlook Improving

We are fast aiiproachng the i'in-between" season. That is I per, iod of time at least ui this cast-I ern area -- when there is pract-l Ically no actiiily in the sport worldi whatever. in what is still frequent-l ly referred to by many old timers Is ”Upper" Cziiizicla the quiet per- iod is almost non-existent for in cities like Montreal and Toronto the baseball season follow hard on the heels of the hockey wars and. in fact on many occasions over-: laps But in these parts we have n- ('ITCiil') period between approximal ely mid-April and mid-.lune when there is 5 very pronounced lull or letdown and our attention is us- ually drawn to the m'lii'll) in ma) Ir baseball rirrles.

During this lull. up believe. might be as good a time as any to dwell on the sorry state of sum mer sport on P.l-1.1. Of course interest in some participation sports such as golf are on the upgrade in this Province but there are others outdoor pastim- Ht which are losing their fans hf the score. We have in mind pari- leularly baseball and tennis. Last Iummer was a pretty sad one for anyone who takes his baseball l4'.riousl,v. We did have in league going in ('iiai'lottetowii - and a lood one it was - but in some Ithcr centres notably Summer- Ilde junior and intermediate . teams passed into oblivion and apart from the minor leagues : under .Iohnny Carroll baseball was a strikingly dead issue.

Just what factors were respon- sible for this decline of interest in I P.F.i. baseball is a good question” and one that we hope to take up, more fully at I future date. What-, vver the reasons may be steps: will have in be taken and taken, Icon if the island is to have any baseball at all in the summer of 156 At the very least wthin thel next. month or so those who Tovel the game whether they may be in Charlottetown. or Summersidc or anywhere else should be giving the subject some serious thought and it might not be a bad idea to get together on this matter and see if some solution could be doped out.

in Summcrslde but these haven't been worn away from overuse. The Basilica Youth Club took over three courts situated in Victoria Park that had previous- ly been run by the local branch of the Knights of Columbus. The Youth Club. under Abe Zakem. tried hard to renew enthusiasm for the game. They not only sup- plied the courts free of charge to the small fry and tecuarzers and practically anyone else who wanted to play but supplied rar- quets, tennis balls and even all; out-ts. tennis balls and even at times transportation to and from the grounds.
