FOR ALL. Goo') SPORTS
By Ross Haugh
Recipp for
good sports
very once and awhile one will read in the
daily papers of a Pf088404.41 athlete '1)Ping, fined or.
suspended for displaying poor sportsmanship .or
,
rough .playing tactics,
This seems to be happening quite .often in the
newly .organized professional ;soccer leagues in ,Can,
ada and the United States. We realize that soccer
is 'a body contact sport and giVps plenty of oppor-
tunity fOr this type of play,
The .questiOn then .arises where does good.
sP9rtStnanship start. The. answer, of; course,. is When
boys are first starting out in. sports sometimes at the
tender ages of less than 10 .years,
While getting in some extra reading over the
weekend we came 'across an interesting poem i.11 an
advertisement in Sports. Illustrated, sponsored by Wil-
son Sporting Goods,
We will pass along the poem in its entirety,
hoping it will help some youngsters starting out in
competitive sport. to get off on the right foot,
It is entitled, "What does a father say to his
son before his first game?
This is your first game, son,
hope you win.
I hope you win for your sake not mine.
Because winning's nice.
It's a good. feeling.
Like the Whole world is yours.
But it passes, this feeling.
And what lasts is what you've learned..
And what you learn about is life.
That's what sport is all about.
Life.
The whole thing is played out in an afternoon.
The happiness of life.
The miseries.
The joys.
The heartbreaks.
There's no telling what'll turn up.
There's no telling whether they'll toss you
out in the first five minutes or whether
you'll stay for the long haul.
There's no telling how you'll do.
You might be a hero or you might be
absolutely nothing.
There's just no. telling.
Too much depends on chance.
On how the ball bounces.
I'm not talking about the game, son.
I'm talking about life.
But it's life that the game is all about.
Just as I said.
Because every game is life.
And life is a game.
A serious one.
Dead serious..
But that's what you do with serious things.
You do your best.
You take what comes.
You take what comes and you run with it.
Winning is fun. Sure.
But winning is not the point.
Wanting to win is the point.
Not giving up is the point.
Never being satisfied with what you've done
is the point.
Never letting up is the point.
Never letting anyone down is the point.
Play to win. Sure.
But lose like a champion.
Because it's not winning that counts.
What counts is trying.
The regular schedule of the
Huron-Perth intermediate base-
ball league winds up this week
and the teams head into the play-
offs.
The teams will be in for a busy
next couple of months. The four
top clubs will compete for the.
H-P championship while all will
be in the running for the right
to advance in OBA play.
At the moment Thorndale and
the Dashwood Tigers, at the top
of the heap are assured places
in the league title hunt with re-
spective point totals of 28 and 20.
St. Marys are in third spot
with 18 points, Zurich and Mit-
chell are deadlocked with 16
points apiece and the Hensall
Merchants follow with 14.
In OBA ranks, St. Marys is the
only "B" club and will receive
a bye into provincial playdowns.
Thorndale and Mitchell will battle
for the right to move on in "C"
play while Zurich, Dashwood and
Hensall will engage in a double
round robin series to decide a
"D" winner.
Over the past week, the Dash-
wood Tigers broke even, getting
a win and a tie in three starts.
They battled to a 5-5 tie with
Mitchell BP's in Mitchell, Wed-
nesday and downed the same Mit-
chell club 8-5 in Dashwood, Sun-
day. The Dashwood loss was a
resounding one, 13-0 to St.Marys
Monday.
WIN IN EIGHTH
A three run rally in the bottom
of the eighth inning enabled the
Dashwood Tigers to take an 8-5
decision over the'Mitchell BP's
in Dashwood, Sunday afternoon.
The Tigers built up an early
5-1 lead after two innings of play
and the Mitchell club kept plug-
ging away until they managed to
knot the count at 5-5 in the top
of the eighth frame.
Whitey Denomme, leading off
in the Dashwood eighth got a life
on a Mitchell error and scored
what proved to be the winning
run on Richard Rader's single.
Rader and Bill Schade who
drew a walk scored the Dashwood
insurance runs on a double from
the bat of Stan Lovie.
The Tigers moved ahead in the
first inning with Jim Hayter and
Chuck Taylor crossing the plate.
They ?upped their run count to
five in the second as the result
of a walk, an error along with
Bud Desjardine's doable and a
single from Bob Hoffman.
Old Timers
tackle Tigers
Baseball fans in the Dashwood
area will have another look Sun-
day afternoon at, the 0 n t ario
Baseball Association Intermedi-
ate "D" champions of 1953.
Most of the members of the
Dashwood Tigers of that year will
be back for an exhibition game
at 2:30 against the present inter-
mediate club participating in
Huron-Perth play.
A couple of years ago, the Old
Timers as they are called, de-
feated the current team and the
youngsters will be out to avenge
that defeat.
Three former Dashwood pitch-
ing stars are expected to see ac-
tion. Robert "Eppie" Wein, now
living in Sudbury, BobStormes, a
St. Thomas lefty and Ray Yelle,
now manager of the London Pon-
tiacs of the Senior Intercounty
will attempt to display some of
their championship form.
Carl "Jake" Wein, a hard hit-
ting outfielder is also expected
to make the trip from Sudbury.
Others to likely show in the line-
up will be Jim and Bob Hayter,
Lorne Xleinstiver, Charlie Tie-
man, Louie Corriveati, Don Gen-
ntner and Jack Gaiser.
Mitchell hit the scoreboard for
the first time in the second on
a combination of Line Rohfrit-
sch's triple and a single from
first baseman Al Clemo.
A pair of Dashwood errors
combined with George Coveney's
single and Rohfritsch's second
hit of the game, this time a two
bagger sent two more Mitchell
tallies in the third.
Singles by Laverne "Porky"
Wallace and pitcher Ernie Ahrens
produced a fourth BP marker in
the sixth and their final run came
in the eighth with Dennis Hughey's
single being responsible.
Bob Webb went the distance
on the Dashwood mound to collect
the win. Coveney and Ahrens
shared pitching duties for the
losers.
LOTS OF SCORING
The hitters overshadowed the
pitchers in Wednesday's 5-5 tie
between the Mitchell and Dash-
wood clubs on the home diamond
of the Perth County team.
Either one team or the other
scored at least one run in every
inning but the seventh and final
frame.
The visiting Tigers jumped in
front quickly with four runs in
their first trip to the plate.
Doubles by Whitey Denomme and
Pete Ravelle and one baseknocks
by Bill Schade and Dave Ratz
were responsible for the opening
Da.shwood rally.
Dashwood added another run
in the second with Bob Hoffman
crossing the plate as the result
of a couple of walks and a pass-.
ed ball.
Mitchell cut the Dashwood
margin to 3-2 in their half of
the second on pitcher Bob Park-
inson's two run homer. Dashwood
regained their four run edge in
the fifth, again without the aid
of a base hit with Dave Ratz,
crossing the plate.
The BP's responded with four
runs in the bottom of the fourth
Winning lawn bowling tourna-
ments is getting to be a habit with

tic local bowler won her fourth

On London trip

By BARB GILFILLAN
Children all have very Imag-
inative minds and can create
original types of crafts.
This was shown last week when
the children at the playground
made such things as hand pup-
pets, finger puppets and a var-
iety of animals made out of
vegetables.
Today the primary children
and leaders are packing their
lunch and taking a bus trip to
Spriegbank.
We are looking forward to tour-
ing Storybook Gardens where the
creative figures make nursery
rhymes come alive. These never
cease to amaze the children.
The older children will enjoy
a nature hike to carry out the
theme of nature this week. A
campout at Riverview Park to-
night will follow where they can
enjoy a swim and camp fire
before hitting the sack.
