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 Mrs. Lillian Pym. The enthusias- tic local bowler won her fourth local jitney of the season at the Exeter bowling greens, Saturday night. Mrs. Pym scored two wins and came .up with a plus of 20 and ag- gregate score of 41 to easily de- feat the rest of the field. Club president Art Cann finish- ed second with a similar two win record, but a much smaller plus of 11 and aggregate of 22. Mrs. Lila Smith and Mrs. Ger- trude Hamilton were tied with two wins and a plus of 9, but Mrs. Smith took down third place with a greater aggregate count of 24. Ivan Hirtzel was awarded fifth and final prize placing. Tuesday night, Mrs. Mabel. Glenn proved to be the best, compiling two wins, a plus of 17 and aggregate of 31. Art Cann again placed second with a plus of 15 and 'aggregate of 30 to go with his pair of wins. Centralia Farmers Supply Ltd. Grain • Feed • Cement Building Supplies Coal 228-6638 to put the clubs on even terms. Doubles by Bob Zimmer and Dennis Hughey and a single from Veteran outfielder Line Rohfrit- sch evened up the count. Bill Schade led off the Dash- wood fifth with a double, Whitey Denomme walked, both moved up on a wild pitch and scored on Dave Ratz's second single of the game to complete the Tiger tallying. A walk to Al Clemo, Bob Zim- mer's triple and an infield out sent the equalizing runs across the plate for Mitchell in the sixth. Exhibition loss for Rec stars The Exeter Rec league all- stars were on the short end of a 9-4 score to the Shedden Bears in an exhibition softball tilt at Exeter Community Park, Satur- day night. The visitors scored three times in the first inning and were never headed, although the locals cut the lead to 5-4 after three innings of play. Shedden went on to score three times in the fourth off starter Don Mousseau and added their final run in the sixth from relief hurler Don Pickering. The first Exeter run came on Gerry Finnen's single and a double from the bat of Ron Bog- art. The next two local markers were produced on a pair of walks and a double by Finnen. Back-to-back home runs, lead- ing off in the third by Jim Rus- sell and Ron Bogart completed the Exeter run scoring for the night. Gerry Bogart, a brother of Exeter's Ron, was the big hitter for Shedden, collecting a homer, double and single in four trips to the plate. Ray Smith, Mrs. Hamilton and Wilf Shapton finished third, fourth and fifth, respectively.

EARLY START WINS Five unearned runs in the first inning gave the Legion a head start in their 7-1 Monday win over the BA98's. The early run outburst was accomplished with- out the aid of a base hit, coming on four walks and a couple of errors. The next five innings were scoreless with Jack Fuller toss- ing for the BA's and Don Mous- seau doing the chucking for the Legion setting their respective opposition down with comparative ease.

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. FISHERMAN'S COVE GRAND BEND RIVER RD. S. OF BRIDGE CHICKEN & CHIPS 44.
