“Remember Back In ’22?”
Thirty-two years ago, Lucan’s
Irish Nine had its greatest year
in baseball. “Remember Back in
’22?”
Much before my time, but I’ve
got the dope on it just the same.
Managed under player Walter
Gibson, these boys went to the
Ontario Baseball Asoociation In
termediate final, to lose the saw-
off game in Galt (neutral
grounds) to Peterborough.
They had 49 games that sea
son before hanging up the gloves
that autumn. Some good class
ball was dished up in those days.
With an executive of Frank
Griggs, Roy Fairless and Harold
Hodgins the famed Irish Nine
consisted of Clarence Ward, Dun
can Ross, Lin Barnes, Player-
Manager Walter Gibson, Chester
Weir, Leslie Hindmarsh, Karl
O’Neil as captain. Alf George,
Grant Hawkshaw. bat-boy, Ernie
Crawley, Melvin Bradley, Clar
ence O’Neil and Fred Langford.
Maybe one or two are not men
tioned but that was the club of
'22.
Some have died or left the dis
trict and some are still amongst
us. Hats off to a good ball club!
“Remember Back in '22?”
Play-Off Time Today
A young bunch of lads are in
there pitching today, hoping to
live up to the name of the “boys
of yesterday”. In a few years
they could shape into a good
club with additions in a few of
the weaker spots.
This season’s Irish Nine are in
the thick of the play-offs in _the
Thames Valley and Middlesex-
Oxford leagues this week.
The line-up is Don Hodgins,
Playing Coaches Ivan Hearn and
Ralph Pitt, Fred (Saichel) Rev
ington, Bill Chown, Steve Stor-
rey, Ernie (Gabby) Bond, Glen
McFalls, Jim Thomson, Frank
Hovey and Bob Watson. Bat
boys are Nic Neil and Len Gaud
ette,
Girls Softball
It doesn’t look too promising
for the girls’ softball club since
Muriel Carling dropped the posi
tion as manageress. She was
quite interested in helping out,
but feels unless the kids want to
learn to listen and respect their
instructor and get along with
each other, then she couldn’t
hold that position. So it’s up to
you girls, to either take a differ
ent attitude or no one will take
the time to bother about it!
