LAKE PLACID NEWS, FRIDAY, JUNE 15,1951 IE No:*-: AIt:i'iu^h the Sportsmen were far from impressive in their N'orthfei 1 :, league debut, fan.s can at least >e a-sr-ured that from now on the t »a n can generate in only one d.rcetion—UP . . . We do not J mean by this that the team will necessarily improve to the point where they will win every game, but their brand of play is almost certain to go in the right direc- tion . . . However, it is a stark naked fact that the team is in need >f replacements in many de- partreerts, along with more pitch- ing strength . . . Dick Murphy is a gocd hurler and will get better with aided support afield, and George Levitt is a more than fair left handed ehucker . . . But after that Manager Al Eccleston has !ittle tc call upon, and with the brartd of baseball being played in the loop this year you've -got to be deep all around, especially in pitching . . . Eccleston received added strength this week by sign- ing ''Iggry*' Fazio, hard-hitting third sacker of Paul Smith's Col- lege, and Joe Ed&ley, the high school £fcar, will no doubt see ac- tion in games this weekend . . . The spring meet at Saratoga Race- way has been a major success so far with mure than 24,000 witness- ing the first six nights of the 12- night session, a fact that the state, operators of the pari-mutuels, should note with glee . . .

Billy Hovey, a member of the Notre Dame foot- ball squad, employed for the sum- mer at Horace Wilcox's water ski- ing school where broken field run- ning tactics are a necessity . . . With the chamber of commerce «nd the Town of North Elfca dis- daining from the conducting of a 4th of July parade here this year, the venture will be taken over by the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion who deserve the backing of everyone for tak- ing the bull by the horns, so to speak . . . Art Volpert reported taking over the Wilmington Inn. . . . Rumors about town that there will be no Roamer hockey team here next year . . . Roy Sdgiey opening a roadside stand on the Saranac Lake road, which will, na doubt, be titled "Roy's Roost." . . . The high school's Blue Bombers racked up a fine record of 14 wins and 2 losses this season, but the season could hardly be called a success . . . The two defeats were administered by Au Sable Forks high, giving them the M. and V. league championship . . . "Tubby" Colby, who was rated tor many seasons as one of the North court- j try's top young pitchers, is pra:-- j tlcally setting the baseball,, work! * afire at Camp Hood, Texas where I he b hurling' for the 2nd Armored j Division , . , In a recent game with j the league leaders, Colby pitched | his team to a 9-3 victory on 22, strikeouts, bringing his total to 60 strikeouts in his last three games. . . . Beginning July 1 there'll be an increase in the price ol bottled beer and draught beer glasses will be drastically cut in size . . . Any truth in the story that Joe Farley, former Roamer hockey player, will marry a hostess at a local hotel? .

A legisl*t*r commit- tee headed by Sen. Pliny W. Wifi iiamson of Westeaeiler is current- ly working on the reapportionment. In theory, every congressional district should have the same num- ber of inhabitants, but as a mat- ter of practice that has isever teesn the ease.

The idea still prevails that only a working farmer is e^gibie. Ac^mlly this is not so, andfJCational Grange is urging that members of oar state and national legislatures might well be inter- ested members. Our by-laws, on \^yn^^''-,^r9i»^^ (among other qualifications, of course) I road in part: **Any person inter- ested in agricultural pursuits and having ^o intere^te in conflict with o«r puirpps^, «te.*V We are reminded of an interest- ing incident back in the early days when only farmers were eligible. U happened in Fredonia Grange No. 1, in Chautauqua county when the members thought Louis Mc- Efnstry, then editor of the local p&pet* would make a good secre- tary. His father, one of the mem- bers, gave him six hens from hie floefe^ thereby potting his son in the poultry business. This was the same Louis McKinstr" who went on to become editor of a daily jiaper at Watertown, and whose interest in Grange made that area the strong Grange sec- tion it is today.
