I know I missed Monday's issue of The Citizen, but those'week-ends, they're really something aren't they? . . . Everybody has fun on the week-ends, even school teachers . . . Why on Saturday night, a teacher came tearing down Third Avenue I ._ in his car. He slammed on the I brakes and slid around the cor-| ner and into a parked car or fi George Street . . . TTe threw his M mobile into reverse and took off " on his merry way. I think he thought he was on the street of dreams ... A few kids thought they would have some of theii kind of fun on the week-end too . . . They visited the new Little League park and slashed little holes in the sprinkling hoses . And, that wasn't all. They caught hold of a pipe leading from a propane tank at the swimming pool and broke it ... Parks superintendent, Charlie Freeman, said he has a good idea who pulled the former stunt . . . Ken Larsen, local baseball product who tried to make the big-time this spring but failed, caused a bit of an uproar this week-end. He put on a uniform for Willow River along with fellow Athletic teammate Larry Jensen . . . Local baseball enthusiasts feel that since Larsen has been helped in coaching and finances in his tryout with a pro club, he should be indebted to Athletics for life ... Maybe if you pay them back, they'll let you go Ken . . . Feathers For Fernie Tomorrow During the last two weeks, a fair battle has been shaping up between the Colt League and senior league executives over the use of the only senior size ball diamond in Prince George ... It sems like the seniors are expecting to use the park four nights a week. The three Colt league teams are asking for three . . . A's coach Fernie Ollinger wants Friday night for practice and Wednesday and Sunday for games. Canada's coach Chuck Gabrielle wants ither Tuesday or Thursday night for practices. Gabrielle offered to hold joint practices with the Colt league ... No uch offer came from Fernie Ollinger. Incidentally, at a meeting between the two leagues Tuesday night, Fernie Ollinger emerged the winner. It's chicken today Fernie, but remember, it's feathers tomorrow . . . Back to the Larsen-Jensen-Athletics uproar, it seems that Larsen and lensen both signed a contract for the A's but an offer of more money and a higher paying job at Willow River was a little too enticing to pass up . . . When they arrived in Willow River, both found the deal was not what they ,vere offered. So, both men came back to Prince George . . . Little League Host For Centennial! A local sports official was seriously considering a higher paying government job over in Smithers. However, he nad more consideration for his family than the extra clams so he turned it down. He's at present very hep over this proposed track and field project . . . The custom car club s receiving more free help from the city, in constructing a one-quarter mile drag strip than meets the eye. A few 'dozers" doing a bit of work near the airport took a spin down to the track and did a little work last week . . . Little eague president Johnny Dinsmore said Monday that Prince jjeorge is being considered by Williamsport as the site 'or the Centennial year, northern regional Little League jaseball playoffs . . . He quickly added that the new Little eague park would have to be finished in time. That means i few thousand dollars more are needed to buy bleachers, backstop, fencing and other important park fixtures . . . 'If we raise only a small amount of money," Dinsmore said, "we will have to buy lumber and build bleachers. Then in a few }rears spend more money on building them again. If we raise enough this first time however, we can buy portable bleachers which will last considerably longer." . . . Dinsmore said up to date there had been no •esponse from letters written to service clubs asking for ielp- It has been decided that the executive will take on he job of inviting wrestlers here for a two-day show . . . ?irst on the card are lady wrestlers or the midget group.

He grew up in Windsor with Hank Biasetti former first baseman with Toron to Maple Leafs and Buffalo Bis otis of the International League as a next-door neighbor and de elded early in life he wanted baseball career. He started on the Windsor saridlots as a shortstop and later came under the wing of Rev. Ron aid Cullen, a priest from Toron to who was coaching a sandlot team in Detroit, just across the river from Windsor. His play attracted scouts from the Tigers and they laid out $25,-000 to entice him into their fold Under the major league bonus rules, a player must stay with the club that signs him for two years so Bertoia—a raw rookie without any major league season ing—saw little action the follow ing two seasons, getting to bat only occasionally.
