PERSONALLY, we are mighty pleased to see Moore back in the fold. He has always been one of the game’s greatest backers and his interest has done much to bring softball back in such a big way

Kennedy is a most capable receiver and is in the game all the time. The Detroit Red Wings’ performer keeps things on the move when he’s in a softball game.

The Lions should be roaring a ‘little louder than ever. —

NO SCHEDULE has-been released yet, but we are informed that games will be played on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights. On one of the three nights, action will take place on both the old diamond and Queen Charlotte diamond. The other two nights will see a single game staged at Victoria Park.

This will mean four hall games a week and this certainly should be plenty to satisfy both players and spectators. _

There is still some doubt about the league getting away on next Tuesday. This was the proposed opening date, considerably earlier than any previous year. Right now, the talk is that the first cun may not be fired on May 19 but possibly a week or ten days later.

“There seems no great reason to get things underway before the first of June. However, if the teams are ready, the opening can eome anytime but make sure things are in order before the launch-

takes place. ; ead rad gered means a whole lot to the success of the league.” Let’s make certain this softball league gets just that.

CHICAGO WHITE SOX outfielder Al Smith is doing his best te make Chicago fans change their boos to cheers as far as he is

A has been having a rough time of it since he went to Chicazo “to take the place of Minnie Minoso who went over to Cleveland In- dians. The White Sox folks loved Minnie and they were really up in arms when he was traded away: They took it out on poor Smith and gave him a time he won't easily forget.

The reception certainly had its effect on Al who went into a | eal batting slump. The worse the slump the more the crowd rode him. It got so that ever time Smith strode up to the plate, he was the target of many insults. -

THAT’S HARD ENOUGH to take in the ball park of any op- posing team but when that kind of a reception is given you right in your own backyard, It’s downright tough. ‘oned the last time the White-Sox and Yankees tangled

ONE OF THESE DAYS, somebody is going to start taking | those Los Angeles Dodgers seriously. Their actions for the first couple of weeks of the 1959 campaign didn’t draw too many rave notices because just about everyone figured it couldn't possibly last.

When we wrote this column, the Dodgers and Braves each had 2 600 percentage, but in games won and lost the Los Angeles gang were ahead by one half game. We still hadn't the result “f the Mil- waukee game at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, or the Pittsburgh- Dodgers clash in Los Angeles Coliseum. Without these contests, the Dodgers had 18 wins in 30 starts. They picked up their 18th win on -\ May 11. Last season their 18th win didn’t come until June 4 and at that stage of proceedings they were exactly ten games out of ot ee ah that the Dodgers are three and one-half weeks ahead of last year’s pace. They are, by far, the team ap has shown the greatest improvement in either league. They ar getting good pitching from Podres, Drysdale, McDevitt, Williams, Labine and Fowler. There doesn’t appear to be anything too much the mat- ter with their fielding -and their hitting, especially some of those fellows who had a lean 1958, has Walter Alston really smiling.

By now. the rest of the league must realize that the Dodgers are trying to have part of the 1959 world series staged on the west coast. They may not do it this year but they are surely giving it a

game try right now.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Those horse racing fans who know what jockey Eddie Arcaro has done in the Preakness stakes in the past |are taking another look at First Landing. the mount he is to ride in the 83rd running of the Preak- ness at Pimlico Saturday.

The track oddsmaker has listed

the Brookmeade Stable’s Sword '

Dancer, who was nosed out by Tomy Lee in the Kentucky Derby, as the probable Preakness favor- ite at 2-to-1 odds. Bob Sloan, the mutuels manager, made First Landing—third in the derby—the second ‘choice here at 3 to 1.

Arcaro is the winningest Preak- ness jockey with six triumphs. The Master has ridden in Balti- more’s triple crown classic 14 times and has been in the money on 12 occasions. He hasn't been worse than third since 1944, with 11 mounts.

Basilio Receives Word About Proposed Bout

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP)—Car- men Basilio's camp disclosed Wednesday the fighter has re- ceived his first word from Ray Robinson about a proposed Sept. 21 fight for the middleweight

~ championship.

Basilio also has received an of- fer from New Jersey promoter Willie Gilzenberg for a fight with Robinson in Newark or Jersey City this summer

John Dejohn, Basijlio’s co-man- ager, said Basilio received a tele-

‘gram from Samuel Rose, Phila-

delphis city councilman | -who hopes to promote the fight in

| Philadelphia's 100,000-seat Munic- ipal Stadium.

Robinson said he will wait to see what the New York State Ath- letic Commission does Friday. That is the deadtine for Robinson to sign for a Basilio fight or lose his title in New York. The NBA already has vacated Robinson's title but_has indicated it will re- instate Robinson if Basilio 1s agreeable to the Sept. 21 fight.

Dejohn declined to -say whether he is giving serious consideration

' to Gilzenberg’s offer.
