telephoned tllis reporter with the obvious intent to ohastiu it was with glad pcncil thaf we received the caller as we were surprised that it took these gentlemen so long to make contact willl us Apparently the things written about thc condition at Queens were naughty words We had no right to write them etc However not one to bow out especially when we are in the right we lci the man say his piece then entered long suggestion period it is hoped and the man in the olhcr end of the phone sounded agreeable that some oi the toilowing changes will be made For the end of this softball season at least we Suggested and alter lengthy dubatc our friend agreed thatlincs be laid before every game both mens and ludics The ladies have been putting their own down to date We suggested and here we hope it is agreeable with everyone unccrned that lines in lhe infield and down the foul lines would like the gume more complete make the officials jobs little easier curtail bickering and spend up the game For next season We suggested that the screen behind the catcher hEmoved bdckatleistflve feel or better still10 This waythe game would be made more exciting lind saicr lor the fans with the screen back these leei runner on third base would attempt to score more olten on passed ball There is not playin baseball or soitball that is more exciting than play at the plate Also with the screen back the players benches would be moved back accord ingly and thus so would the spectators positions sthus desscning tbs chance at lans injuries due to hard hit foul balls The taller than mentioned that the Parks Board had intended to bulldozd and level the outfield at Queens Park for tow years Somnt thing always got in the way though he said The gentleman also noted that other towns ol this size and smaller wure gelling more money to spend on the parks than Barrie This ot course we do not know out we would he lhe first to pitch in and help the people in charge at the parks get more money It seems there are still those who feel decent park is luxury is not it is necessity All this talk about how much we love our children even as they grow up is lot of honey if they are not given stlltablo recrea tion facilities Sorry we strayed iromthe original subject bit but it all ties in anyhow We were saddened too that the man who made the call had not seen ball game at Queens Park this summer Its always good policy to look before you leap even it is just at sports edltor one oi the things this man said that tickled our ribs was that the Purks Board would have to pay the man who put the lines down time and half The follow wont get rich that way It only takes about 15 minutes MOST llllronTANT GAME game that was postponed week or so ago is proving to be the most important contest in the
