10 The Guardian, Charlottetown, Wed. Aprn 4, 19us. | : | SPORTS FRONT By PIUS CALLAGHAN A Look Ahead AFTER the torrential rains of the weekend, things were dry- mg up fast and folks were beginning to look ahead to the sports that will occupy their attention during the coming months. If we can avoid snowstorms and get plenty of good drying winds, it shouldn’t be too long before the boys take to the base- ball diamonc to get in their practice sessions. However, before that an organization session is necessary and this shou'd be on the agenda one of these evenings, not only fm one place but in all places where baseball is played through- out the summer. HERE in Charlottetown we had a most successful City Base- ball League ir operation last year. We had our doubts about the affair at the start but it turned out splendidly and fans and play- ers had a great time of it. From this league was chosen an all- giar team that played for the Maritime intermediate champion- ghip. Our lads had the thing sewed up but then, by some strange racking of playing sites, handed the crown to Memramcook Rover ceils Juniors copped the Island junior crown with a rather upset triumph over the capital city squad. The western- ers gave a fine account of themselves against Liverpool before bowing out of further Maritime competition. Down King’s County way, the Morell boys copped the King’s @ounty Baseball championship after another great season. Fan interest continued to be terrific in this part of the Island and league promoters are expecting even better things in 1962. Early Meetings WE EXPECT to hear of several meetings in ae near aaere when plans will be laid for this summer’s operati It’s too early and if things keep coming the way they pg it shouldn't be very long before practice sessions are underway. All leagues should be well governed and they usually are if qnouch thought is given to them in the pre-season. No league can Qperate engaged without proper supervision and nobody dare g@rgue that poin And so we a all intending to operate this season to g fhe croundwork laid early. In that way, you are paving the Had fer success. And we know all of you are desirous of success. The Paret Incident THE DEATH of Benny ‘Kid’ Paret has once again aroused the ire of the world’s sporting public. Many accusations have been hurled back and forth since Paret was slaughtered on the night of March 24. Blame was plac- here and there while Paret lay dying in a coma in a New ‘ork hospital. He is dead now and the same charges are on the nds. We don’t think they'll pin the blame on any individual. Even f they do, it will not help Benny Paret. He's not around to hear the uiterances that will be made during the next few weeks. Whose utterances will be small consolation to his young widow and child. People will argue that folks get killed in all branches of sport end to this we must nod assent. However, the object of other gports is far removed from such a fatal ending. If injuries occur football, hockey, harness racing and other pte they are pure accidents that might befall any motoris an. Rut this game of boxing has, as its end, the Saat inte sub- @ission of an opponent. If you are to be a successful boxer, you — learn to hand out punishment that will hurt your opponent. ‘ou must try to knock him senseless and take the fight by a knockout. With such an objective, it seems small wonder that * the ring has such casualties as this Paret incident. We think as long as boxing continues things will always be same. There will be more Parets in the years ahead and re charges and counter-charges regarding who is at fault- The only way to make sure that there are no repeats of this Paret incident is to see that boxing is eliminated. We don’t think the sports world will buy this, although personally we’d shed @o tears at its termination. It’s a grim business, isn’t it? Bantams Seek Crown CHARLOTTETOWN Bantams are going in search of the Plaritime championship. Coach Dr. John Theriault informed us yesterday that his squad _ will be in Halifax Saturday for a try at the three-province crown. Fredericton has captured the New Brunswick championship and Halifax Toppers are the cream of Nova Scotia. These two teams will play early Saturday at the Halifax Forum and the survivor will meet the Charlottetown boys in the evening for the ehemonionship. This Charlottetown team is the one that ee in the Char- eee minor hockey nig all m and emerged as provincial champion. However. Theriault informs us that the Chastothetnrs branch of the Real Canadian at is giving @inancial assistance to the youngsters in their try for Maritime ra. The Doctor has high hopes of nailing this one down but he @oes figure his team will be a bit short on competition. Both — and Halifax had several hard games under their stl Best of luck, bantams.
