north to his summer property
at Pike Bay within the next two
weeks.
One of the pleasing features
of this new type of craft is its
low cost, When the craft is
ready for the water Eric es-
timates he will have spent less
than $200 for all material ne-
cessary.
The finished product, with a
40 hp motor supplying the
power, will be just as eye-
catching as any factory manu-
factured vessel.
boat, which weighs about 375
pounds, can never upset or be
swamped.
Even in extreme weather or
storms, any amount of water
that may reach the deck will
leave quickly by way of a pair
of scuppers at floor level at
the stern,
The control cables from the
steering wheel to the motor are
under the floor and out of sight.
Heywood, at present putting
on the finishing touches, will
be taking his "dream boat"
Seven weeks of spare time
work has given Eric Heywood,
Huron Street East, a "fisher-
man's dream" of a boat.
Having an idea for several
years to build a pontoon boat,
Eric spotted plans for a new
type of vessel called an "Af-
rican Ski Boat" in a winter
copy of Popular Mechanics ma-
gazine.
The boat is 17 feet long and
6 feet, 2 inches wide. It has a
completely flat deck with solid
bulkhead every two feet.
This type of vessel is used
by the fishermen in Africa and
they go out in the ocean as far
as 18 miles.
The custom on the return
journey is to catch a wave and
use this method of power to
surf or see in.
The Heywood creation is a
versatile craft with a wide var-
iety of uses.
With a completely flat deck,
it will be ideal for fishing, sun-
bathing and also should make a
wonderful diving platform and
swimming raft for children.
Fishermen would have no
trouble landing the big ones in
this type of boat since there
isn't anything on the floor to
fall over,
Due to its broad beam the
Bowlers see busy season

The club had a membership
of about 40 last year.

Ree Director Don Gravett reports that

to bane-Kir:a minor baseball clubs. Pee wee, ban-
tam and possibly squirt bail teams are being
planned for WOAA competition.
Last year's Huron Lathes Softball champs.

tion has dropped the entry fee to S5.
Any girls from the age of 12 to 19 in-

asked to get in touch with Rec Director Gravett
in the next week or so.
Three minor age classifications for girls
will be available. Fourteen and under gals will
play in the midget section. 16 and under in juve-
nile ranks and those up to 19 would be classed as
juniors.
Centralia RCAF are again entering a team
in the Memorial Softball League along with five
other Western Ontario clubs. The airmen under
coaches jerry O'Toole and Bob Osgood are hold-
ing practices this week in preparation for their
opening game at home on May 21.
LARGE CROP OF NEWCOMERS
A. feature of the current big league base-
ball season to date has been the large crop of
rookies who have broken into the line-ups.
Sixteen newcomers were in the starting
batting order on opening day for the 20 clubs in
the two circuits. Before the 'first games had been
completed another 13 had experienced their ini-
tial test in the majors.
The interesting part of this is that 12 of
these rookies were still in their respective line-
ups over the weekend as the teams passed the
20-game mark.
A couple of youngsters answering to the
same first name were the most successful on
opening day.
Pete Ward. son of ex-'Montreal Marooner
Jimmy Ward was guarding the hot corner for the
White Sox from Chicago. Ward bit a home run
against Detroit in his first start and has contin-
ued to be the Sox' regular third sacker.
Another Pete. Rose of Cincinatti, was hand-
ling the second base chores in the opener. When
spring training opened Rose was of unknown
quantity and wasn't listed on the Red's roster.
However. by April 9 he was cavorting around
second with Don Blashigarne resting on the bench.
The most daring move in either league is
claimed by Gabe Paul and Birdie Tebbets of the
Cleveland Indians. 'The Tribe started three un-
taied rookies in little Vic Davalillo, in centre
field. Tony Martinez as short and Max Alvis at
third base. The trio are still in the line-up and
are contributing their share to the Cleveland
cause.
The old master Casey Stengel came up with
a couple of surprise packages in his opening New
Mets squad Ed Kranepooi young bonus
baby was it right field, replacing Mary Throne-
berry and Al Moran started at shortstop.
Kranepool. only 18 and a high school
spectator at the ;Vets' 1962 opener. crashed the
line-up without any organized professional ex-
perience. The youngster is presently being used
in the number five spot in the Nets' batting or-
der.
"Old Cases' defends his choice of an inex-
perienced fellow like Kranepool for opening day.
fire. "Some say that they woudn't start a new-
comer like this. because it might ruin him" states
Casey. 9'm not afraid of ruining this boy and
what some people forget to tell you. is how the
older men you can use sometimes ruin you, too."
Ed Lopat at Kansas City has been using
young Bill Bryan quite frequently behind the
plate. Bryan, in the opener, walloped a homer
and a single off the offerings of Yankee Ralph
Terry.
Another Cincinatti Red who drew his share
of publicity was fleet-footed Terry Harper. Harper
got the centre field nod from boss Fred Hutchin-
son, nudging Vida Pinson to the right field pas-
ture.
Los Angeles Dodgers startled their fans
with three youngsters in the starting infield.
Dick Tratewski, Ken McMullen and "Pee -Wee"
Oliver got the nod in the get-away game from
skipper Walt Alston. Since then veteran Maury
Wills, Junior Gilliam and Tommy Davis have
handled most of the infield work,
Bob Bailey his initial year has been an
adequate replacement for Dick Groat at third
base in ...The Pittsburg Pirate defensive set-up,
The Houston. Colts boasted 'two rookie
starters, with Ernie Fazio at second and Rusty
Staub in the right field position.
