ONCE again the Maritime baseball lllaydowns are dragging into football and hockey weather. , ‘Dish statomeiitismeantisnowaytoreflectuponthose

in Prince Edward Island. Indeed the Island has a long time ago decided upon its champions. and is waiting pat- iently for the other provinces to meet them.

But. 1... midget, intermediate urban and intermediate rural tltleholders are still idle, anxiously awaiting to find out whom they play against on the

new by (those dates.’The Island followed these instruction to the letter only to be left for a long Pfiriod of time on the sidelines.

Our midgets were to have their series with New Brunswick completed by September 16. Our intermediate teams, urban and rural. were also supposed to have their feud settled with New Brunswick by the same date. But here it is September 21 and the only sound we hear is that our midgets will see action this Sunday and will not complete tiiek series with New Bninswlck champions until at least two weeks after the deadline imposed. , when the intermediates will see action is snybody's guess. I-e hops they are saving some of these games for the Christmas liol:days. '

Teams Lose Players

PLAYERS on many teams throughout the Maritimes were college boys who have long. since gone back to tlieir schools of ‘er-.rnu.g. They certainly will ot be available when these long- oelayed playoffs finally come.

Grand Falls. the junior champions of New Bninswlck. were forced to default the Maritime crown to Halifax because they could not muster enough players. One of the reasons for that was that several of their players had gone back to college. (A iater report has this team ousted because of over-age players).

The whole affair is downright ridiculous and it's far past the time when an end should come to it

If teams knew they must meet a deadline or forfeit a series, then they'd meet that dadline. The way the thing is run now, a (cm plays just whenever it is ready to play.

0 It's Shaping Up .

WE can see it shaping up as before.

You can bet your last dollar that they’ll be playing Maritime baseball playdowns over e Thanksgiving holiday. They'll be i.v-ging fans in various centres to go out and see the boys. They'll be asking them to leave their nice, warm living moms and shiver in the stands at a baseball game. ~

And that will be the very weekend that New York Yankees will be entertaining the National League champions In the world series Saturday. Sunday and Monday. If these Maritime baseball moguls think they can cnticefolks away from their television sets or t'.ose three days. then they have another think coming.

But these fellows will try it-—you can be sure of that, and tht. pzayers on the various teams who waited all season to watch the world series will be out playing themselves-to empty stands.

MARITIME baseball playoffs will soon be a thing of the past if this kind of work continues. Baseball cornmisioner Jack Ready for Prince Edward Island and Maritime Baseball Association vice-president, Dave Boswell, have done iiobly here. They got evrxrything over in apple pie order but are left now without teams in play. ’
