Baffin Bay. leading iiiuliey-win lier in the country last year with earnings of p23.ll:il), has been re- duced to a 10-to-1 choice by the lmiikmakei's. That was on the strength of her'upset victory in her division on the first plate trials at Woodbine May 25.

Seven night games were sched- uled, four in the American and three in the National.

St. Louis at Philadelphia and Chicago at Pittsburgh. Johnny Podres tossed a five-hit- ier and rookie Frank Kellert lashed out three hits in the Dodger vic- tory.

Gus Triandos with a 292 aver- age leads the group. and Gene Wolidllng. who was the ”key man": in the deal, is strilggllng along with a miserable .206 mark. Willie Miranda is well below .250 and Hal Siiilth, the highly rated rookie catcher is batting only .269. Harry Byrd the fifth player to catch a regular berth with Baltimore, is drawing no raves with his pitt- iiil 4.42 earned run average. Manager Paul Richards is re- ceiving no plaudits from Balti- more fans for his part in the trade. for it was he who made the final decision to let Turley go. He did so over the anguished pleas of general manager Frank Lane, who insisted that the Orioles should get at least one established star to compensate for be loss of the drawing power of last year's strikeout. king. What Richards got for his star. was a proven but aging oiltfielder. a good-field no-hit shortstop. an untried rookie catcher. ltn unda- pendable pitcher and Triandos. who at. least has I respectable bat.- ling average. Considering the fick- lPl'lF.Il of present day club owners. unless the Orioles pull up their socks and do hotter than their seventh place finish of last year. it would be no surprise if man- ager Richards is looking for a new ball to-team to boss next year Meanwhile over in the National League a couple of other man- agers are in the throes of woes. Leo Durocher of the Giants and Charlie Grimm of the Braves -are not one bit happier than the unfortunate Richards. At the be- season many of the experts picked the Braves and the Giants to be waging a three team war with the Dodgers for the pennant. Many. in fact. ruled out the Dodgers, pointing out that they were in dire need of new blood. that they had no pitching. no bench strength and were aging dangerously. Mild mannered Walt Alsiun of the Dodgers might be excused for smiling slightly now when he looks over his shoulder and at teles- copic distnnce sees. not a band 1 of rampaging Giants nor a war party of Braves. but a group of young bears from Chicago.

NEW YORK (AP)-Milwaukee's suddenly come - to - life Bravos harged into third place in the Na- tional League Tuesday night, scor- ing six runs in the second inning and five in the ninth to wallop the New York Giants 18-4. It was the fifth victory in the. last six games tur Milwaukee. . The defeat dumped the world champions iiito fourth, a half game behind the Braves. who climbed above .500 for the first time since May 19. ' Johnny Antonelli, ex-Milwaukee southpaw, didn't make it through the second inning as he picked lup his seventh defeat in 12 deci- sions. The six-run second wrapped it up for the Braves, who peppered four Giant pitchers for 17 hits. Old man weather is doing it Last January his mild again! June-like disposition kept the Prince County hockey players from going into action until about half the winter was over. Now, in the balmy month of June, his tenden, to put on s January- like appearance is keeping the baseball and softball players from starting their summer's sports. Last January folks down this way said the only cure for the effect of our mild winters on sports Was artificial ice. But since no one has yet invented artificial "fair and warmer" weather. there isn't 'much we can do about the pre- sent. situation but wait for I change. Dee Lefurgey. Coke Grady and Maurice Cannon have hit the baseball tourist trail. and are trying out with Black's Harbour. a team that plays with St. Ste- phen and other clubs in Charlotte County. N.B., and Maine. Latest reports have it that Lefurgey has not had an opportunity to try out yet. but that Grady and Can- non. despite the wet weather. lhsvo seen some action. They say in the Black's Harbour park the fences are a long way from home plate and some rich man has I standing offer of one hundred dol- lars to anyone who bats the ball over the fence in a regular game. Maurie Cannon who bashed two over the Lewlsvilla park fence last fall gave it the old college try a few days ago but the horse- hide remained in the park. and Cannon got a triple. Maurie's batting average wasn't too fat. as a rule. but he could certain- ly give the apple a ride at. times. I these three boys make the grade and stay in New Bruns- wick. it will make things a bit less rosy for our baseball here in Summerside. We have none too many ball players as it is. and to lost three of the best wouldn't help. in spite of this. we wish lihem luck. Congratulations and good luck. also. to Donnie Simmons who has recently joined the "Benedict" class. Donni will pitch this year again for Clarke's Harbour Where Sheet, by his top-grade hurling Then boys can't be blamed for seeking greener pastures for the hasebsll ”ps.tures" in Summer- iude this year will probably be I long way from "green."

To do a little reminiscing In this off-season, we've heard that Freddie Gallant. softball player with the Legion last summer, was s cyclist in his youth, and tin- ished second to a Rayner chap in a ten-mile bicycle race in Sum- merside some years ago.
