Bill Allan showed signs of re- surging youth by knocking the liorsehlde into Granville Street for an automatic homer. Bill didn't seem to realize it was an automa- tic. and he tore around the sacks much too fast for a dodclerlng old fellow in his late sixties. (This last could be an exageration, but. they say that when they lit, the candles ion Billis last birthday cake ,it look-

Time is all too short for Ken this year, perhaps. but he showed last summer he could lose the apple in Granville Street resi- dents front yards as often as any of them.

Vance Harris played in right field and demonstrated again that he is one of Summerside's most promising Junior ball players. How the C and 3 team could use this boy's hitting ability in their series with the Abbie Juniors! We don't know how Vance happened to get off on the wrong foot with the Cur- ranitesybut he keeps saying "you'll be sorry" with the old hickory.
