CLEVELAND. May 13- (AP)- The well wishes oi the genial

Cleveland Indian president. Bill Veeck. and a promise oi s; visit from some of his star baseball players. were extended last night to a little boy whose legs have been amputated.

Veeck, who himself has only one leg through a wartime accident. had written the boy, 11-year-old Glenwond Brann, Jr.. of Maiden,‘ Mass. expressing his sympathy- But the lad‘: father intercepted the note for fear of shocking Glenwood with the .bsd news of which the boy had been kept 1n ignorance since the tragedy.

So Vceck penned another let- tor. this time avoiding mention or the tragedy, said to have re-

sulted from o "stake-burning: gums among several of the lads playmates.

"I justdwantcd the boy to lesi-

Gaining momentum with each

season the Charlottetown Play- ground Commission are looking forward to having an outstanding summer's program for the kiddies during the holiday months that lie ahead and reports given at yesterday's meeting show that the movement is rapidly beginning lo take hold. .-l- il- -I- 4-

The different service clubs, the Department oi Physical Fitness are all vitally interested in this important project and with in- divfiluai citizens showing more and more interest the Playground Commission which heads the play- grounds cfforts can envision the plan growing by leaps and bounds in the years that are to come.

That is the way it should be. Playgrounds provide clean, healthy play for the youngsters under supervised control who benefit both physically and morally. It is one way of curbing juvenile de- linquency and the men-and wo- men-nt the head of the Commis- sion at present are doing every- thing in their power to increase facilities and expand the pro- gram that actually as yet ls still in its infancy.

Charlottetown bowlers make their annual appearance in the Nova Scotia-Prlnce Edward Is- land candleptn tournament at Halifax next week and this year the local trundlers are confident they will make a much, better

showing than in previous at- tempts. Il- il- d‘ '1- Although failing to win any

Although out of activepartici- pation the past couple of years, Albert “Kid" Nickcrson still can't get away from the lure of the boxing ring and these afternoons one will find the “Kid" busily en- gaged in teaching the finer arts of the game to a stable of promis- ing fighters in his recently-ac- qulredqzymnasium situated on Kent Street across from the Char- lottetown Hotel.

Known as Hickey's'Gym, the premises has a. ring slung in the back end of the building where the boys go through their daily sessions. Light and heavy bags are also in evidence. while on the walls are development equin- ment that help to build up the physique of the members and help put them into A-1 condi- tion,

that several promisin mitt- sllngers will soon make their appearance in sanctioned local

bouts that are in the offing. 4 Q 0 1-

Still on a small scale Hickey to- gether with his partner in the venture "Nick" Nickerson, who will look after prospective wrest- lers on his return to the City are looking forward to bigger and better quarters in he future. Cao- ital at the presen time is limit- ed but with the progressive spirit of both Nlckerson and Nicholson plus the enthusiasm of their mem- bcrs to keep things moving it may be that their plans will bear fruit in larger quantities than was expected.

It will be good news along the major league baseball front. if, as Ford Prick says, the "subject of Jackie Robinson is a dead issue." St. Louis Cardniels. with owner Sam Brendon and manager Eddie Dyer leading the way, have de- nied tho Cards ever threatened to strike because of " nson's pres- ence with the Dodgers That is probably true, but there doesn't seem much doubt that there have been rumblings among some of the St. Louis players.
