Former Pro Players Manager Joe Borletto, an optimist notwithstanding numerous financial reversals in his far-flung athletic operations, reports that there has been encouraging advance sale tickets. He has assembled a strong array of talent. Most of his players have had professional experience.

BERKSHIRE SPORTS Housatonic, May 9-As the Southern Berkshire League approches the half way mark, Lenox High is leading with a 3-0 record.
The Millionaires have stopped Searles, 'Chester, and Williams thus far this season and will be out to make a a clean sweep of the first half of the league this Tuesday as they take the diamond against Lee High in Lenox. The big question in the Gilligan coached club; however, is not how many contests they will win but whether they will be able to complete: league play. School authorities announced, early last week, that the athletic fund is almost exhausted and that without the help of the townspeople the team would. most likely have. to drop out of competition for the remainderof the season.
Lee High claims a 1-1 record thus far this season and the Wildcats will be out to catch the league leaders Tuesday. Searles handed the Consolati men their only defeat in an extra inning contest in Great Barrington last week. Eddie Thomas, Bruce Stevenson, and Pete Triano are the three veterans upon which the brunt of the Lee attack is based and these three men could easily combine to upset the present league leaders applecart and capture joint possession of the top berth. Searles High should have little trouble gaining its second win of the year next Tuesday as they oppose Williams High in Stockbridge. 'After receiving a 5-0 setback in their league opener the Great Barrington baseballers eked out a 5-4 victory over Lee last week to share second place honors with the latter.
The Stockbridge Rebels have ganized a semipro nine again this oryear and are planning to open on Memorial Day at home. This appears to be the only semipro team in Southern Berkshire again this season dropping as interest seems to be off in this brand of baseball joyed in a this section. The Rebels enhighly successful year last season and piled up a fine record. They were defeated at home only twice and both setbacks came at the hands of Williamstown.

Chester High, well' into its schedule, was defeated 17 to 5 by Lenox High; and Lee High also came off with a 5 to 0 win. That Coach Bill McNally's nine is steadily improving was evident in the Lee game. Only two errors were made, and Lee could not score 'on freshman Pete Davenport until the fourth inning.
The Valley Pee Wees are warming up for their second season of baseball; and every team had a record turnout for their practices. Eighteen eager, ambitious juniors reported to Coaches Lou. Charbonneau and Bill McVeigh at Huntington; and response throughout league was similarly enthusiastic.

Both boys attend school all day, practice a couple of hours, but their day is not over yet as they take to the highway and thumb their way some 10 miles to their homes. These boys are made of the right stuff. Eddie Willey of Chester, Bryant Wilcox and Lou Cobielle of Huntball for their college ington, continue to play teams. Eddie featured at Providence College. He stepped in at the sixth inning and fanned five in a hitless performance to come out with a 7-7 Wilcox in his last outing with the UMass Frosh team, helped himself to two hits and made "three putouts in his centerfield position.
Lou Gobielle handled nine chances at second base with errors, and added a hit to his day's work. Injuries still crop up to plague the Chester High School baseball team. Dave Blanchard, trying to help out in the injury-riddled catcher's position, was himself put out of action when a foul tip hit his middle finger. Also out of action is Gary Wise, shortstop and first baseman who sat out. the Lee game with a sore back.
