SPORTS SCENE
by Ding
Back again from a marvelous holiday in England.
Our sports enthusiasts have nothing on the English.
The first football (Soccer) game I attended Scar-.
borough edged 'Boston United 2 - 1 before a crowd
of about 9,000. This was a Northern Premier
League game which is about the same type of
league In which St. Columban is a member. This
was slightly above their average crowds but usually
they have approximately 5,000 to 6,000 and they are
even more enthusiastic than our fans. It's almost
committing murder to say something encouraging
about the visiting team. The British are real sport
fans and support their teams to the fullest.
•
Another major attraction in Scarborough during
our stay was the Annual Angling Festival which
draws entries from all, over the British Isles. The
Tournament ran for a full week and even though I
didn't have the nerve to enter I did manage to
spend a day deep sea fishing 'In the North Sea. I
wasn't as lucky as most of the fishermen but I did
manage to catch a couple of small Place or Flatfish,
most others had better luck as several Cod and
Herring were caught.
•
Leaving Scarborough and moving to London, I
enjoyed a game of Rugger between England -Wales
against Ireland-Scotland. Although the game ended
in a tie •I would have to say it was one of the most
exciting 'games I have ever seen. The rides are
very similar to our FOntball only no p2.ds are
worn arid injury time i's` added to theTeltillifilkg"
at the end of the game. Ireland-Scotland scored
with less than one minute to play to tie the game. In
Rugger each team is allowed only one substitute
and if anyone As injured and can't continae then
they must play a man short.
Turning to local sport it was- a wonderful sight
to see so much interest in the Industrial tall
League's final series. As we arrived on Sunday
the game played must have been just completedand
from the stream of cars leaving the Lions Park, the
team's must have played to a. good crowd. The
series' has been completed with the fifth place
0
Mainstreet emerging as League Champions and the
fourth place Mechanics as runners-up showing the
tremendous balance of the league. Congratulations
are extended to the first year champions and to
the league organizers on providing an. exciting and
interesting season of baseball. One game remains
to be played as the league All Stars have challenged
the Mainstreet 'team and this game will be played
next Tuesday evening at 7:30 at the Lions Park.
Continuing with Baseball, the World Series
starts this week end with Cincinnati and Baltimore
providing the entertainment. This proves no
surprise as both teams wer e predicted to make the
Series. So we'll go even further and pick Cincinnati
to take the Series in six games.

The Football scene has changed slightly as
the Argos whipped the Ti Cats while the Allouettes
.dropped a game to Saskatchewan, tightening the
Eastern League and ;making my predictions look a
little better. The local• high, school team showed
little offence in their opening game and are strug-
gling to field a contending team. Perhaps like the
Argos, Seaforth Golden Bears are going to be a
last half team and really coma on as the season
progresses.
As for Hockey, little can be said at the present
time but after a week 'or two of study we can make
our predictions as to how the teams will fare this
season.

runner-up Mechanics. Main-
street took the series 3-1 in
games.
THURSDAY'S GAME
Thursday's Industrial League
gailie saw the Mechanics even the
'final series at one game apiece
when they edged the Mainstreet
by an 11 - 9 verdict. The Mechan-
ics opened quickly with 10 big
runs in the first two innings to
take a quick 10 - 1 lead. They
then struggled to hang on in the
final innings to post.their first •
victory in the series.
SUNDAY'S GAME
Mainstreet took a 2 - 1 lead
after Sunday's Industrial League
Play-off game by whipping the
Mechanics 16 - 5. The Me-
chanics struck first with an
early run on singles by Gary
Osborne and Bill Muir. This
was short . lived, however,
as the Mainstreet nine bounced
back with 5 big runs on six
hits all singles to take a..5 - 1
lead and control of the game.
The third inning saw the Main-
street again score 5 runs on
seven more hits to take a 10 -
1 lead. The fourth inning pro-
vided the Mechanics with 2
runs but in the fifth they were
outscored 2 - 1 to give the
Mainstreet a big 12-4 lead after
5 complete innings. Mainstreet
then added 3 more in the sixth
and one in the' seventh while
the hard pressed Mechanics
managed only one run in the
sevent h to make the final score
16 - 5.

FINAL GAME
MAIN STREET WINS SERIES
The final game saw both
teams play oustanding ball.
Mainstreet took a 1 - 0 lead in
the first inning when Bill Rober-
ton opened with a single and
scored as Joe .Dick singled and
Bob Beuttenmiller doubled. The
second inning was similar to the
first as Mainstreet added another
run as Pete Postill doubled and
scored as Bill Roberton added his
second single of the night. Main-
street stretched their lead to
3-0 in the third as Beuttenmiller
doubled and Anstett and Cowan
followed with singles giving the
Mainstreeters a 3-0 lead after
, three innings. The fourth
Wiling provided the Mechanics
with their only scoring plays of
the game as Eric Chuter lead
off with a single, then Doug
McAsh walked followed by ano-
ther walk to Bob Papple. Vern
Scott singled scoring Chuter then
Wayne Scott singled scoring Mc-
Ash and only a smart double
play by the Mainstreet team pre-
vented the Mechanics from taking
the lead. The fifth inning proved
to be the deciding one as the
mainstreet added 3 runs on three
singles, a double a triple to
lead 6 - 2 after 5 complete in-
nings. The Mainstreeters then
held the Mechanics scoreless
