By GARY OAKES | The Way I See It It's spring and a time when a young man's fancy turns lightly to thoughts of romance and baseball, Of course, some of the “old men” will be turning their thoughts to baseball for “just one more season” before calling iv quits. All over Canada and the United States, bats and baseballs have been unpacked and spikes and gloves have been polished up in preparation for training camps and season openers. Here in Prince Rupert we've been somewhat delayed in getting started mainly because we're in the middle of the monsoon season. But in the past few weeks players in many of the City’s leagues have had a little practice and are itching to get started. The Nerthern British Columbia Senior Baseball League opens its season at Roosevelt Park Sunday, May 13 when Esquires and Smithers will play a double-header. This will give local fans an opporunity to sce the City’s true baseball veterans in action, Guys on the Esquires’ team = are the Archie Meores cf baseball. They are pitting their wisdom that comes with age against the youthfulness of the Belmonts’ club, the city’s other senior baseball team. It's not that the Esquire players are old but the crutches you'll see in the dugout don't belong Lo the bat-boy. Ancients still playing Let's take a quick look at) the team’s Hneup. First we have manager and playwg coach, crazy-leps Joe Giordano. Giordano managed Belmonts last year but felt he belonged with the rest of the “Old Guys’ ‘and so joined Esquires. His familiar: “Ooooh, have an cye ump’.” will be heard all ever the diamond as he'll be blocking the spitballs for the ancient Esquires. Other players on the tcam are: Don Scherk, Danny Bil, Bill “Monk” Sundberg and Darrel “Big Daddy” Young, who's making his annual comeback, The combined ages of those four “vets” is somewhere arvund the 120 years mark. There’s also AL Campbell, Gordy Cameron, Len Shankel and Doug Ruttan on the team. The word is that Jack Mitchell, THE Jack Mitchell. may be joining Belmonts this year. Maybe he's trying to forget he's an “old guy”. But, beyond a doubt, the funniest thing that has happened this year is ol) Chubby Checkers bimself, Bill “Mouse” Morri- son, being named as manager of Belmonts. You all remember Morrison, the league's head bat-boy last year? All 300 pounds of him will up there planning strategy for those hustling Belmont players. Ford tournament chairman Speaking of the Beimonts. the famous short-to-second combination of Dicky Bury and Billy Smith may be broken up as Smith is scheduled to take over the team’s catching chores. Ho'wever, we'll probabty stil] have the usual conferences before one of them steps to the plate. — Lanky John Lambie and Al Adams should be up on the mound for Belmonts and perhaps one or two others. On the serivus side, the annual teurnament will be held June 30. July 1 and Juiy 2 to tic-in with the Elks’ annual Do- minion Day celebrations, Well-known bascball figure Rusty Ford has been named tournament chairman. Ford, former Ksquires’ manager, is also second vice-presi- dent of the Prince Rupert Baseball Association. Other mem- bers of the executive arc: Sparky Smith, president: Danny Bill, first vice-president: John Lambie, secretary, Ray Gior- dano, treasurer, and Wilf Deltoch, pubheity. , Season tickets can be purchased from Ford for $5. They rive the holders admittance to all league games and are a handy item to have. On opening day, Belmonts will travel to Terrace for a double-header against the Sande Lumber Mill team. The senior league and all the othcr city leagues need vour support again this year so when the season starts how about taking in a few games each week? FROM THE DUGOUT: © - A meeting of everyone connected with the Prince Rupert Senior Men's Softball League has been called for 7.30 p.m. next Wednesday in the Savoy's sample ruoln. This doesmt seem tue important except that President AL Cairns said if attendance is poor, the league will fold. In other words, it is a MUST that all players, coaches, managers and anyone else interested, attend this mecting. Otherwise there won't be any league, Cairns said things Jlvogk bad for the league bul hopes some cf last year’s players will come to its rescuc so it doesn’t have to fold.
