Sunday's - Of signals or a bad case of the hives. Once again the women's softball league has proven the top drawing card in Prince Rupert sport. And well it should. Take the location for example. The corner ef McBride and Sixth catches persons heading up town for a walk who would net ordinarily stop. The saating at the park is virtually unobstructed and the air fresher than that breathed at Algoma Park. The brand of ball leaves much to ke desired but. the effort behimd the league by one man has brought it to such a high point that they can’t help but make money. The man of course is John Laporte. Pound ofr pound ‘John weighs in at 134 complete with teeth!. Laperte is the best organizer in this town, bar none. Other leagues would do well to try and tempt Laparte to help them out. About the only fault we can find with John is that he takes too much on himself. Graited this is the only sure way to be positive that the deb wel be done. But we think that he could spread seme of his work amongst his co-workers. Laporte is ove voung man we don't want to see develop uleers and if he Keeps it up. this could happen. Anyway. if yowre havine leacue troubles and are looking for a man to straighten things cut. call John Laporte. Keep up the good work. John. BARBED HOOK DEPARTMENT Although we like to see all sports supported and are happy to see the women’s softball get off to a good start, we can’t help but wonder why local residents won’t go out and support other leagues. Senior baseball never his anv treuble with fans: even though they sometimes d:savpoint patrons by not having games for weeks at a time. Soccer draws large crowds from our New Canadians and has the mest enthusiastic following in tewn. But if vou go to a Little League game, or a Pony League game, or anv other snortine endeavour in this city, ycu can usually count the crowd ov the fineers of both hands. Now we're not saying that parents should hustle out to every game and scream fer their kids. Nor do we say vou should spend every night of the week attending the many sports events takine place here. But we do say that fans shou'd spread their sunport around and not follow one team cr one league only. We venture to say that if vou take in a Pony League game. you'll find a etter brand of ball in some games than the sciniors plav. And the Tittle Leaguers can sure come up with some dazzjing plays. Men's softball is always a good brand of ball and deserves much better support than it has been receivine. What we’re getting at is this. Why should one park receive more support than another just because it is centralized? Everycne hustles up to Roose- velt when the seniors play but other than that, Gyro Park is the place to gather. It’s nice to hear that the women took in $75 or $35 in gate receipts. But. it’s not so nice to hear Stan Wilson tell us that “we got $1.75 in last night’s collection for Pony League”. Think it over. fans. Spread your cheers around and support ALL sports in Prince Rupert. BITS AND PIECES double-header between Merchants and Terrace Orphans brought a few laughs from the fans. The antics of Red LaStranege in the third base coaches box led us to wender whether Red had a large number ... The old game of “who's got a cigaret” was played te the hilt in the Mer- chant’s dugout. One of the first thing they teach a rcokie in this town is not to take cigarettes to a game or you'}l be lucky to end uv with one for yourself, . Big Jeck Mitchell runnine the bases reminded us of an Od “puffer” engine shurtine cars in the railway yard...

Merchant’s Pill Kilpatrick copped another pitcher the other day. Stocky Ruff Johnasen,. up for the summer from Van- ecuver, is expected to help the Merchant’s two-man staff censiderably Sunday will be an open date here for senior baseball as both teams travel out of town. LAST ACT Track asnd field coach Tom Masich advises that this years’ road race will take place on June 16. Last years’ winner Geerge Gustini has declined to enter this year but Masich is still talking to him and may change his mind. Top threats in this years’ Junior section should be local boy Bob Lone and Terrace brothers Bill and John Nattress. Dick Crosby is favored in the Senior section With top competition expected from Vie MeNeil of Ter- race ‘and John Christiansen of Queen Charlotte. Any persons interested in entering are asked to phone Masich at 3958. Other track meets coming up include the North West. B.C. High School Championships this Saturday at Terrace, a challenge meet between Prince Rupert and Terrace on June 2 (place to be announced later), Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 27 J.0.T.P. final at Algoma Park on June 9, and the North West Zone finals, for the right to represent this zone at Vernon in August, to be held on June 30 at Terrace. CONCLUSION The greatest bit of umpiring ever seen in this area Was viewed by women’s softball fans Tuesday night. In making a call at second base, Mike Karasosky held his right thumb up -- indieating out, and his left: hand face down -- indicating safe. It's no worse than plate umpire Don Hartwig's “hike” for “strike”, Nuff said.
