' llEllPS p nut mounts Wiith hockey over for the seas- on, the main athletic trend now is all pretty well centred on the iorthccizning baseball season and the various clubs are starting to get things organized for the open- ing oi activities. O I o e Two meetings have been held in the past two nixhts in an effort to get things rolling. The first meeting was held in the 1=.w.c. auditorium on Wednesday night by a group oi enthusiastic sup- Dwters who are interested in the promotion and betterment of the sport. One of_ the foremost n:- suits of this meeting was the forming of a Charlottetown Base- ball Association to act as a gov- eming body over all baseballplay- ed in the City. The idemof course. is not to hold a monopoly on the sport, but just act on behalf of all cluin and groups to aid in the drawing up of leagues, schedules, etc, and to work in close co-op- the game in general. I O O O The second meeting was held at the ‘Travel Bureau last night, when a large number of the sen- ior baseball players gathered to- gether to discuss the possibilities of entering a team from the City Lu a. Central Segior "B" League with Springhlll. Amherst, St. Jos- eph and Seckville. The Charlotte- town Abegweit Club have volun- teered to sponsor such a team. and the meeting was presided over by Johnnie Williams, as re- presentative of the Abbie Club to ascertain whether or not the play- ers themselves are in favor of the move. Many points were brought up and discussed at the meeting by various players present, but an unanimous assent was given in favor of having a. City entry in the Central ‘League . It is understood that u. meeting will be held at Amherst. N. 5., on April 28rd when members from the various clubs interested in taking part in a senior "B" loop will be present to organize the league. It is also reported that Summerside will be entering a beam in the same league. and re- presentatives from both Charlotte- town and the Western Capital mu attend the meeting at Am- hETSt. r I O C U Although the final O.K. still has to be put through the Abegweit executive concerning the Central Senior League, this is. however, Just a matter of procedure, and there is no doubt as things stand now that the City of Charlotte- town will h-avc a Senior B. entry this yea: It is understood that Ev MacNeill will be appointed to coach the sepia: Although baseball is coming into its own, the main active sport locally is basketball at the moment. The big feature at pre- sent is the playoff series between Saints and Reece in Island Phys- ical Pitness competition. Saints copped off the opening game here Wednesday night when they cut off Rocco's long winning streak to hand them their first defeat this season. They had taken twelve straight up until Wednesday night, mt it looks like the thir- teenth game was the jinx for Reece. Saints cut’ them short with a decided 70:46. Although the second game of this beet of three series was scheduled for here Saturdaynight, hoop officials announced yester- day that due to the fact that the University squad will play on the mainland over the week-end, the game has been postponed until Monday night.

WINNIPEG, April 7 .— (GP) -— Officlal decision regarding New- foundland as a replacement for Northern Ontario in the annual Dominion Curling championships likely will be made by the three trustees of the championship trophy before the next Dominion finals in March. ‘ Senator J. T. Haig of Winnipeg, one of the trustees, said in an inter- view tonight that inclusion of Newfoundland always had been kept in mind by the trustees since inception of the national curling competition in i927. Northern Ontario had been in- eluded to allow a balanced lit-rink schedule in which representatives of all Provinces would meet once, he said. The trustees who directed the annual championships are Senator Haig, Hon. Thane A. Campbell, chief justice of Prince Edward Isl- and, and Thomas Rennie of Toronto. “We have always agreed that Newfoundland, if it became a part of Canada, should be the 10th rink in the Dominion finals," the Senator said. “However, that has not yet been made official and Newfoundland would have to apply to the trustees to be-entered." "When I go back to Ottawa. I'm going to put in the records of Hansard that Newfoundland should be included in the national curling championships." t Northern Ontario hes competed in the curling classic for about 16 years, Senator Haig said. It has never won the Dominion champion- ship although Southern Ontario has triumphed twice. Newfoundland! entry would mean that each of Canada's 10 Provinces would be represented by one rink, the original plan of the trustees.
