It was swell to see Fred Christensen get a shutout, but even the. most partisan crowd Ikes to see a tight, fast contest. Cy em It was an eager buneh of lads that veteran Harry Ludwigsen pitched, Crafty old Harry had vietory brought down fram Ketchikan, but Harry was a mite short on: pilching strength, ‘The local lads had no trouble with. the offer- ings of 6 foot 3 inch Russ Morton, Linden, Michigan's eglft to the U.S, Coast Guard, Norman Marsh, Ineffective right-hander who started the second game is an ex-softball player and Thurs- day's game was wnly the second game of hardball he’d ever within his grasp until Jim Campana, Ketchikan shortstop overthrew lo first with two on and two down. But the crowd loved seeing Harry thwarted and fine crowds they were too, 400 persons at the first game bod Everyone was in a holiday spirit and there must have been and the same at the evening game which was a more comfortable one for the spectators as the ‘un made a very welcome appearance. A lot of work went inte the dressing up of Roosevelt Park and the Prince Rupert Base-" } i a small part hall Association was particularly grateful to all those who helned spea nike the clay a success.

H's been estimated by those who know that the project wouldn't cost more ihan about $300 more: than. it costs to bring an Alaskan team here and by upping the price two-bits could work out without the local boys going in the hole, Prince Rupert fans like their baseball and this would be a good oppor- tunity of giving them a real bang-up series, No harm in looking into the matter anyway. . % Cy } ‘ Getting back to local senior ball, Cammercial’s Nick. Pavlikis still leads the local sluegers with a 400 average with his former rival G & A's Dave Hill down to 325 with 14 hits in 43 official times at bats. Ralph Enridge with 13 hits for 39 official trips to the plate has 333, the same as Larry Mathews of Terrace with 7 hits in 21 trips. Shaigee of Terrace has 348 with 8 safeties in, 20 at bats and Williams of Terrace with 7 for 20 with a 350 per- centage. The official scorer tells us that the batting averages won't be brought wn to dale until Ray Springs brings in the box score of the first Terrace games played this year and Fsquires bring in the box score of the Jast game they played in Terrace, She says she can't work without the figures, so please yourselves, men. t % * POST SCRIPTS: Glad to see that Dave Hill, who loudly in- formed umpire “Freg” Letourneau Thursday night that he was a “ham n’ egger,” went up after the game and apologized to the genial arbiter... Very disappointed to see that the St. John Ambulance boys, who we'd been plugging for the last week for their abillly to be on hand when needed at sports events, were among the missing when Don Seherk split his finger in’ the opening game. At least the baseball association could have a few band-aids on hand... Our apologies to three worthy car- penicrs for giving all the credit to Rusly Ford, Miner Simundsen and Don Hawryluk for putting up the new fence at Roosevelt park.
