AYRES Encouraged by the sight yester day of an almost 100 per cent local‘ sports page, we mus t take time to vive mention to another sport whieh crops up‘every summer but which doesn’t get the coverage It: deserves, That is softball, played several tlmes a week at Gyro Park with happy results to the partici- pants besides giving hours free entertainment. It ts group of men and ‘boys who wi a small collection of onlookers a couple of most heaft-warning to find a ll take the trouble to ‘provide a nieans of enjoying themselves and at the same time take part. in healthy recreation, . / * Tt was Mike Kutzak of Ocea % a nside Cannery who gol in touch with us asking for both public support and a few write-ups from the sports department, We are since Mike presented an exeelle _ to quote the boy. * Says Mike: only too pleased to oblige and nt case we can’t do better than “If we can get enough teams organized into a league and work out a playing scuedule w Gyro Park. At the moment there 7c may draw quite a crowd to are teams from Oceanside Can- nery, the Canfiseos; a recently-formed squad from Atlin Fisher- jes, 0 .Bo-Me-Hi team and 1 bel “U think there are possibly around down and 1 understand too, ieve one from Miller Bay. two more men’s pickup teains that Port Edward has a team “If the captains of any. of these teams would get in touch with me, we could have a talk a % nd possibly work out a league,” oy Mike goes on to say that the softball gang would like some- one to help them, someone who knows how to organize, as he admits frankly that he does not know much about league organization himself. Another item that would hel some of the firms in town who p, Mike opines, would be to ect are interested in the game to sponsor some of the softball teams. “We could sure use their help,” he said. Mike can be reached atthe Savoy Hotél at 37 or Oceanside Cannery Red 572. \ 4 + Thus far this season Mike to * Bo-Me- Hi squad three times wit + Id us, Oceanside has played the h the highschoolers taking the first two games 6-5 and 17-16 and Cantfisco taking the hast 15-9 ii Nine innings. Sunday the two teams were scheduled to play again but the . high school defaulled und Ocean side played a pickup squad. For a report of the game, see Mike’s story elsewhere on this page, (after you've finished this column that is). + The Vancouver papers at th + of e moment are full of Canada’s heavyweight contender Karl Walls who has arrived in the coast cily to do battle come July 22 with un Argentine gent by the name of Edgardo Romero. The clean-cut husky lad, second of n interviews tell us that he’s a ine children who wanted to be a lawyer but who took up professional fisticuffs as a means of helping his family cat more regularly. He doesn’t like fighting mind you, but for a fellow with a n aversion for his profession he does very well at it. According to Ring Magazine’s latest ratings Walls is only six notches from { Martiano, Cy + hat rugged individualist Recky + All this is of great interest to your columnist who has in his wallet two tickets entitling yours truly and his better half to sit in the second row ringside at Callister Park a week Thursday to watch Mr, Walls carve Mr. Romero up into small pieces. At the same time the fight places us on the horns of a dilemma. For ‘ Walls to enhance his chances in the fistic world he must dis- pose of the burly Argentinan in no time flat so that he can rest up to do the same to Roland LaSt: trza, However, this might prove embarrassing, not to Walls if Earl starts to trim Edgardo do he did Rex Layne and Tommy but to yours truly. Sure,as fate wn to size in the first round as Harrison, then Mrs, A will be climbing into the ring to hold Romero up so that she can get her full $7 worth, Oh well, maybe the supporting fights will be good, Super Valu Edges Sea Kings In Free Scoring Li Fixture ; By BOB MORRIS Ina hard fought, free hitting game at Algoma Park last night the Little League Super Valu team took 9 16-15 decision from the Lipsett Sea Kings, Super Valu took a big lead of six runs in the top of the first Inning on three hits and three costly Sea: neh Gyrors, Bethe Rdded Ahree more hy {He Loy at thd sebond: on three more hits dnd another error, This Inning saw the ball sall aut over the new ground rule line to give!
