The officiai opening of the local club will take place on Wednesday night at thc Lions Centre. Slated to take place is a round robin tournament and a social evening. In case of inclement weather, the social part of the programme wiUl stifl carry on. New members are more than welcame. Just drop around on opening night or any night afterwards at the courts.

Next week's colunin will be written somewherc en route and the follow- ing week's will be from Florida. Hope to clean up onl the horses at Hialeah Racetrack and niaybc catch a bail game somewhere along the way. t t t t t LAKESHORE LEAGUE It is certainly ta be hoped that an adequate replacemnent will be found for the Cobourg bel club, which withdrew from the league last week. The Cobourg teami has been an entry in the Lakeshore circuit for many years. It has been noticeable in recent seasons, that Cobourg didn't have the strong teamns they once had. Most of the reason was because many players turned to softball. With the loss of more players to softball and also a financiel deficit over the past seasons, Cobourg has fallen by the wayside, leaving Orono, Port Hope and Bowmanville to carry on. It has been mentioned that the Whitby Larrys are interested in playing an interlocking schedule with the Lakeshore League. The Whitby club should definitely be interesting ta watch. The hoped-for Peterborough entry did not materialize, but that city] is building its baseball programme, and an entry is anticipated next season. Let us hope the Cobourg basebail teamn will also return next year. t t t t t SOCCER Jack Baker, and sports-mlnded citizen Art Hooper, have combined to form, the foundation of a soccer tearn in Bowman- ville. Jack will be playing manager and "Hoop" will sponsor the club. Anyone interested in playing soccer, report to the Memorial Park at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday for the st practice. Many local soccerites have been playing for other aeams in the' league, and it is ta be hoped that same of these players will try out for the Bowmanville outfit. Officers of the Darlington Soccer League are: President- R. Clemenqs, Hampton; Vice-President-A. Thompson, Courtice; Sec'y-Treas.-Harold Balson, Hampton. The 1958 schedule is being drawn up and will be published next week. i. t t t i.

Soccer Team this Year Long-timc star player for J5olina, and a resident of Bow- manville for the past few years, Jack Baker has announced that a senior league soccer teani wifl be formed in tawn.
