'Stop the Poppers and Billiards!" is the 'cry of the Men's Bowling League. Billiards and Poppers are .currently- on the top. rung with 26 points, but • from what we hear the other teams will have VQry :little trouble beating .themfrorn. here on in. The story goes that theleaders' heads are ,so big that they're unable to get back into the alleys! RINGERS changed the point total on.the TRADESMEN this week when the latter/ailed to add their sheets correctly. Instead of the RINGERS only getting two points they picked .up five, Watch your wallets boys! " * * *, This Thursday evening the'WOAA is holding an annual hockey meeting in Wingham to iron out the rule problems and appoint group bonvenors. One definite change this year, we have been told, is in the Int. "B" .category where teams could only use two mPorts and two waivers. Now they can either have fou; imports and no 'waivers or four waivers and no imports or they can stick to the original rule. The second rule the WOAA has adopted which has . notable interest for teams around these parts is that if. a club fails to file their entry by NOVEMBER 1, then it will lose its legal right to force a player in its 'area to play for it. Take heed fellows! * * YANKEE FAN AIDS FRIEND --When Milwaukee defeated the Yankees in the world series last week, local Brave fans decorated the barber shop of New York -fan Gerry 5mith with garbage and junk. Another staunch Yankee fan, Councillor Bill Musser, came to the aid of SmittY, however, and removed the debris. He was caught in the act by the T -A camera. The NEW YORK YANKEES are a bunch of dead ducks! Conte to think of it, this is the hunting season but we'll,still argue That it's illegal to massacre 'em with tomahawks like MILWAUKEE did. We've used the, old crying towel, walked the back streets and even took the 'flu' for a couple of days (so wetold 'the boss) with some. hope of avoiding the ram- •buncious town led by HAROLD WOLFE after the BRAVES'. triumph. But it was in vain. • The culprits wouldn't stop until they found me and a couple of companions but at last with the mouthing wreaths on the doors of BILL MUSSER, SMITTY the barber and my office, they finally lee us alone. ' However, all is not lost! We're all back .at work with our shoes shined and just as cocky as ever about next year as our new crystal ball tells us that the BRAVES had better look out. After all, what can you expect? With the DODGERS .gone from BROOKLYN, the YANKEES have kept' their favourite front office saying for the old die-hard fans. "WAIT 'TILL NEXT YEAR!" * * * •* EDMONTON ESKIMOS are making a real run-, away of the Western Interprovincial Football 'Union. With a pair of recent victories over CALGARY STAMPEDERS, sparked by a one-two punch of PARKER and KWONG, the Esks hold a 10-2 record for 20 points. Closest rival is WINNIPEG and it would take abofit seven of the Esks to break their legs to let them catch up. It's a good bet,that Edmonton will once again • 'represent the West at GREY CUP time but who they will play against is one of the toughest questions of the gridiron lame today. With OTTAWA, .HAM- ILTON and the ALOUETTES all closely bunched you can take yotfr choice. To us personally, it would be nice to have the 'ALS out of the picture and see either the TI -CATS or ROUGH RIDERS in the ‘!big" game. • 19 * "* * THE PREDICTION TRA/I1 We'goofed three over the busy Thanksgiving hbliday weekend on our Tore -game forecasts, Twice we blew on the Western B.C. team going against PRANKY" PILCHOCK'S Rough Riders while the other came in the 0.11,,KU, When LONDON LORDS stopped SARNIA cold.

Seven of the hopefuls tame from Lucan. The rest hailed from Ildetten and other outside points to take advantage of the good ice time, The practise was under the leadership of Steve. Storey, but whether he Will coach the Irish Six this year is doubtful. It has 'been rumored that Bob White will handle the 'tight of the club for the 1.997 season if he doesn't take up retedding. The Lucan club will hold an- nual workouts on Wednesday and Sunday of each: week. The executive feels that they will have a good thane° to Weed out the players and got thein in shape in good tittle for this year's schedule. If mere players don't turn out for future workouts, there is • god chance that Ildetton combine with Lucan 'form Mary Cronyn.

In the Tam O'Shan. stillant for Spalding, salif Miss a shot lose 31111110Y/ is the way. Al Balding SUMmed. up professional golf to the audience at the summer sports banquet at IICAV Station Centralia Thursday evening. To verify this statement, Bald- ing told his audience about missing one shot in the Tam O'Shanter golf tournament and losing $92,500. Al, who ranked ninth among money winners on the continent this year, said he was "fortun- ate" to be doing so well in pro golf, He said he felt just Me "King Tutt." "I feel A little guilty," he said, "because I think I should have started at the bottom." The slender golfer got. his in- troduction into golf at a very early age. Els family moved to Islington when he was four years old, and his house was situated right beside the fourteenth hole on the local golf course, 'When he was 12, he worked as a caddie and cleaned clubs around the club house for $6.00 a week. Al served in the Canadian Army during World War II, and when discharged, went to work for Goodyear Tire Co. Playing in the company's fall tourna- ment,• Al borrowed a set of clubs and shot a 75. The club pro told Al he should get back into golf. "This certainly came as a sur- prise to me," he said. "I never was in golf in the first place." Actually it was a bit of bad luck that got him "back into golf." He developed bursitis and couldn't do his job at Good- year so he was fired. He started to drive a transport, but gave this up in favor of becoming third assistant at the Burlington Country Club. Looking back, Al mused that the first assistant was 21, the ,second 16, and he was the third assistant at 27. 1950, Al finally worked himself up to be first assistant. It was in 1953.54 that Al started on the tourna- ment trail. He said he made $344,000 in the summer and then 'blew it" during 'the winter. It wasn't until 1956, that Al finally became the first Canadian to win top prize in a major U.S. tourney. In 1957, he continued his win- ning ways, and captured second prize in the Tam O'Shanter and the Milwaulkee tourney. He made $11,000 in those tournaments, and he "tied the greatest golfer in the world, Sam Snead." The 34 -year-old pro is also one of Canada's best "good -will ambassadors." He said he has to put up a good front, or he will have people thinking all Canadians are cheap. . Balding said it costs• about $10-$11,000 a year to play pro- fessional golf. "It seems every time I turn around, there is someone beside me with his Aliimmlnannemzeine. ler tourney, he gave bis cad $400 'for his work. When asked for tips for woul be goiters, Al said that in go nothing is natural. It tak "patience, practice and time A beginner 0°01 first sta with a good grip, head positio and back swing.

"I've ram, two rounds in driving rain, an although my score was high, was still lower than the rest." Balding, who acts as a con dy elubs and golf balls will. be the market this year beartog his d. signature. Al described vividly the final es round of the Tam O'ShiAer tournament, and said that.
