((2 Judging by the way things are moving along since their re-or- ganizatlon meeting last Friday the three teams who are entered again this year in the City Junior Base- ball League will be hitting the diamond any day now for their first practice sessions of the sea- son. 0 O O 0 All three teams are well on their way to lining up their playing rosters for the forthcoming sea- son, with two of the team entries, Kinsmen and Knights of Columuhs scheduled to hold meetings to- night to find out how many of last year's squad will be turn- ing out again. and to look over any new prospects who are eager to try out for berths on the teams. The Kinsmen will hold their gath- ering at Memorial Field at six o'clock and the Knights will hold theirs at the K. of C. Hall at sex"- en o'clock. I C O I The Charlottetown Vlctorlus, the third team in the league, have al- ready held their maeting on Wed- nesday. and are well along the trail towards getting their team rounded up for the first practice of the season. which should be any day now. depending of course. on the weather and condition of the playing fields. The sooner they all get going the better, be- cause they won't have any too much time to get in trim for the opening of the regular schedule. which if everything goes well. is expected to get underway the first week in June. 0 O 0 Although none of the teams have held organized practices yet. many of the boys who will be turning out with the various teams. are not going to be caught napping. and have been tossing the ball around for a week or more now and doing a bit of short-range batting etc.. to get their timiaz in and the kinks out. as. the result of their y.-vin.ter. layoff.

May 11- (AP)- Dlck Wakefield. temperamental outfielder who refused to play baseball for Chicago White Sox unless he got a 55.000 salary boost, was tossed back today to New York Yankees. Baseball Commissioner A. 8. Chandler voided the deal under which the Yanks sent Wakefield n the White Sox in return for outfielder John Ostrowskl. Ostrowski still is playing for NEW YORK. May 11 -(AP) - outfielder Dick Wakefield tonight. was suspended indef- initely by New York Yankees, shortly after he had been toss- ed back to the New York club by baseball commissioner A. B. Chandler. Chicago, which refused to give him up when Wakefield declined to report unless the White Sox raised his salary from s17,500 to Chandler called the testimony on the deal conflicting. adding that he had no choice but to "have the situation revert to the status that existed" before the Sox and Yan- kees entered negotiations April 28. "Neither of the proposed agree- ments were signed by both par- ties." sald Chandler's statement. "The Commissioner was forced to conclude that their verbal under- standings were at variance." When Wakefield was signed by Detroit Tigers in 1941, the bonus of 552.000 paid himiset a record. He hit .316 in 1943 in his first full year with Detroit, but after his return from war he was a dil- appointment. and last year sunk to .206 for 59 games. During the winter Detroit trad- ed him to the Yankees for first baseman Dick Kryhoskl. Ever since the deal that would have sent Wakefield to Chicago. the big outfielder has been sitting it out at his home in Ann Arbor. Mich. Last year he received S22.500 from the Tigers, and the Yanks gave him almost the maximum 25- pcr-cent cut permitted under base- ball rules when he was signed for 517.500. Vilakcfield said flatly he wanted that 35.000 restored before he would put on is white Sox uni- form. Frank Lane. general manager of the White Sox. contended that since Wakefield did not report for duty the trade was never con- summated. The Yanks in turn said it was a deal regardless of what, Wakefield did. .- Cincinndfi Reds Sell Ourfielder OINODTNATI.

Rackley, who batted .303 in 74 games last year with Brooklyn. was bought during the winter.

The Summ .id..- Town Coun- cil, like a lot of the rest" of us, would like to see a new up-to-date rink in Summerside. Their offer to private enterprise shows that. They will give free water. electric power and taxes for five years, and under specified conditions will help with a. loan up to 350,000. if necessary. Taking this into consid- eration, it must. be admitted that the town fathers are worried. even as you and we, about our deplor- able distinction of being "The Rinkless Town of the Marltimes." 0 O 0 They have come out courageous- ly for what is, no doubt, their honest convictions. and instead of dodging the responsibility which naturally goes with making a de- cision, by leaving it to the people to decide, they have made it clear that they do not believe it feasible for the town to undertake the con- struction of a community centre or rink at the present. time. They could be right. on the other hand. being fslllble human beings. like the rest of us. they could be wrong. Certainly there are some men on the Citizens Committee whose mental stature and business acumen equal that of our mayor and councillors, and this commit- tee are of the opinion that the construction of a rink by the) town is feasible and desirable, at least. give a mandate for such action. I O 0 Time, more than anythlrig else, perhaps, will prove the Town Council right or wrong. If, as they think. the matter of encouraging private enterprise to undertake the construction of a rink hasn't been- sufflcientiy pressed, "and if with further promotion of this idea private enterprise does enter the field. then we think the Council will have won its point. On the other hand, if business men any clear of this enterprise despite the council's largess. and we con- tinue to be the "Rinkless Town of the Maritimes." the Council, be- iiing irliiilmgi J ohrmy Sain By The Canadian Press Jdhnny Slim yesterday flashed some of his 1948 form. handcufflng Chicago Cubs with a four-hitter to lead Boston Braves to a 3-0 triumph which split a two-game National League series between the clubs.
