ON THIS A look at the calendar' shows that it is al- most time for us to' pack up shop here and head for •01.lr annual holiday i??; at •Urand Bend. but before we do we should point out a couple of sports that haven't received too much publicity as these pages, The first is coneeming all the ardent tieher- men in the area who like to get away from it all for awhile and then return to tell about the big ones that got away. We used to be an ardent fisherman -ourself at one time, but we were persuaded in give up the sport by the 1 dy who does our washing after ;he found a few clew worms in the pocket of one o: our trousers following an outing. However, for those who still enjoy the sport we should point out that if all the big ones don't get away they will have an opportunity to enter them in a contest being sponsored by the recently brganized Grand Bend and Area Sportsmen's finh. This group is presently sponsoring a perch and pickerel derby and all persons who catch any fish in the area from Kettle Point to St. Joseph's are eligible to compete for two handsome trophies and two prizes, as well as a free draw for all those who enter. The entry fee is a minimal 50 cents and the nice thing about it is that you don't have to enter until you catch a fish. The deadline for entries is June 30. and so if you happen to be lucky enough to catch either species of fish, all :Vou have to do is take it to Rollie's Sports and Cycle at Grand Bend to have it weighed and enter- ed in the contest. Rollie pointed out that even if the fisher- men didn't think their catch was big enough to win a prize, they should still enter to get a chance at the free draw. We understand the Grand Bend ,group plan to use the proceeds from the derby to start off their project of building a rifle range and trap range. By the way. if any sportsmen are interested in joining the club we would advise them to .get in touch with Rollie and he in turn will give you the details on what the club will he doing to make it interesting for members. BOWLERS OPEN SEASON Although our column last. week noted that the bowling season was drawing to a close through- out the area, this was a -Mete misleading as it is actually just opening—at least the lawn bowling :Variety. The Exeter group reorganized last year and we understand they enjoyed several good outings and are looking forward to bigger and better things this season. We understand they play on Wednesday afternoons and evenings and again on Saturday, afternoons and are certainly looking for anyone who would care to join. We'll have to admit we don't know too much about the sport but from the few times we par- ticipated we came away with the feeling that it could be a very enjoyable pastime. It's not a bois- terous game as we recall and you don't have to worry about working tip too much of a sweat on those warm summer evenings. However, it is a game of skill and team play and provides for plenty of competition, but on the other hand it is something that almost anyone can do, regardless of age or athletic abilities. We're not too sure who the membership chairman is, but if any readers (male or female -) are interested in trying the game we suggest you get in touch with our good friend Ray Mills and. we're sure he'll look after you properly and we know the club plan instruction .for any persons interested. Or, if you can't find Ray, just drop up to the local greens north of the Burkley. BATT'N AROUND--We've been watching the London Free, Press soccer writeups to see it: Centralia was back in the business again this year, but after failing to spot their name, thought they must have given up on the sport, However, we received a call from Brian Bland the other day informing us that they were very much in the business and have alredy started to play, The • RCAF crew is entered in a Huron grouping this year and all their games will be played at night and so this should give any soccer fans an op- :portunity to slip out and see them. We hope to have a schedule either this week or next so you. can see what dates they play at home . Our creditors will be happy to learn that we will prob- ably be able to meet our payments this month as we still haven't made the trip to the London Ra.ceway. However, we hope to make it one of these nights to see the bangtails and look over the extensive alterations we helped pay for, Not too many local horses are going this year, hut the Hardy brothers at. Lucan and Neil McItann have been doing well and Eric McIlroy's entries • have shared A few purses. We understand Charlie podbott will have Dust-A-Bout ready shortly and if he comes up to last seasons form should take his place in the winners' circle a few times . . Our final note is regarding baseball and from the look at the activity planned for the summer. local fans will be able to watch a game any night and C sea hardball,. softball, men, women or kids, On behalf of the teams we solicit your support as they .need a bit of cash to pay those necessary evils • ;—umpires--and to supply balls and bats, We should note that the hardball players are so keee this year that they will chip in two bucks each to help pay expenses. We feel this is certainly note- worthy and tine hope they get the support they deserve „ should remind all minor hockey players. 'coaches and managers to read ,Boom's ree news this week to find out the details of their annual fete planned for Saturday, We understand Tory .Gregg will be along with a thrill- itig hockey film to entertain , . We may even • find out how to score a hole-in-one at the same time from the local tee director. REC SOFTBALL SCHEDULE May 30—Exeter Lanes ts.
