improvements made to the en- tire setup has been responsible to a large extent for the increase in membership. Today the Club boasts the largesfllst. of members in a good many years and the time is not far distant when the club will again be playing hosts to outstanding Domrnicn racquet uielders in Eastern Canada and possibly Dominion tournaments.

4 4 4 4

And the game is attracting a large number of young newcomers that could well develop into fut- ure net stars. Back about ten years ago when Mac MacKlnnon and Gus Bentley were staging tournaments that helped put the province on the tennis map. many promising youngsters were. mak- ‘mg rapid strides towardis future stardom.

414 4 4

But along came the war itbout that time to call a halt to the youngsters progress at the time. But a good majority of them such as Bill Moreside, Lefty Reddln and others are back in full swinz now and these together with the ohes breaking in should provid- the province with some very cap-

not too fer distant future. 4 4 4 4

The second section of the City Baseball League gets underway at the Park diamond tomorro-v afternoon and the Anchors wind- ing up in the cellar in the first section are going to make an all-

foot when they tangle with Legion squad. the latter team tha‘ with each outing gives more and more indication of being hard to knock off when the final playoffs roll around. 4 4 4 4

Lack of pitchers played havoc with the Anchors in their games to date, but hopes are high of bet- ter things to come in this depart- ment. They sent Frank Evans in for his fi-rst start on Thursday night and although the big, strap- ping righthander was tagged for a lo-ss he showed enough stuff and poise on the hill to send Anchors hopes soaring.

O O

Then again reports say that McCormac the youngster with the fireball and sharp breaking curves will he ready to start soon. Mc- ‘Cormack. after a ..long stretch overseas failed tc reach top eon- dition last year but fans who have been watching him‘working out say that the fast ball is again crackling and when McCormack is right any team on the island will have plenty of trouble trying to get g solid piece of the horse- hide he throw: up to them.

O O O

Getting back to tomorrow's game. the fans should witness just another of the close encounters the Legion and Anchors have wag- ed in their three previous meet- ings. On two occasions a single run decided the issue and while the Legions margin was increas- ed to two in last Thursday's en- counter the shortness of the game, due to rain. didn't provide a fair test for either squed.

But there wiiil be plenty of light and sunshine. we hope_ for them tomorrow afternoon and the game

should give the usual big Sunday crowd plenty to enthuse over for it can be either n free hitting
