Hawks end season right,
meet Elmita in semi4inal
Much has been said in recent weeks during the big
Teague ball players' disagreement with the club owners
over the amount of money the teams are going to
contribute to the players' pension plan.
As this is being written the two sides came to
agreement and the clubs will begin negotiating contracts
and players will be reporting spring training, but we do
not know the details of settlement,
After listening to some comment from both sides
of the argument we decided to check into the current
pension plan for the big league ball players and how it
compares with other sports and other lines in the field
of business and commerce.
The existing contract called for the owners to
kick in $4,100,000 a year and they've raised the ante
offer to $5,300,000 for another two-year pact, an offer
the players' union had refused.
The players say the last offer wasn't as generous
as it appeared on the surface because the league will
have four more teams to cut up the pension gravy in
1969.
The tendency of the guy on the street is to side
with the "little man" in this dispute, the beleagured
player who is being treated like a "Serf." But look at
the figures of the pension and then tell that to a
steelworker, auto worker or a truck driver.
As an example, if Chicago White Sox first
baseman Tom McCraw quit baseball tomorrow, he
would draw a minimum pension of $250 a month, after
only five years in the majors. McGraw would start
drawing that figure at the age of 50. If he waited until
65, he would get $643.80 per month.
A member of the United Auto Union can retire at
the ago of 60 and, if he has been an UAW member for
30 years, he'll draw a $400 a month pension. But at age
65, the UAW man's pension would drop to $127.50 per
month.
Under the current baseball pension plan, a
60-year-old former baseball player would receive
$1,098.80 a month.
The truck drivers have a lower retirement age (57)
and a Teamsters Union member collects $300 a month
(with 20 years' experience) for five years, then $110 a
month for the rest of his life.
If Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays or Hoyt Wilhelm
last another 21/2 seasons in the majors, each now has 171/2
years experience, they'll be able to collect monthly
pensions of $922.02 at age 57.
Marvin Miller, the players' union man in charge of
wheedling bigger pension funds said, "This is very true,
but remember, we are not steel workers or truck drivers.
Ballplayers are skilled specialists. They make more than
truck drivers now and they should after retirement."
Very well, how does the current baseball pension
compare to pro football and hockey?
The National Hockey League has an earlier
retirement age (45) than baseball and pays its 20-year
veterans more. At age 65, an ex-NHL'er would receive
$1,640 a month as compared to baseball's $1,487.59,
but the players contribute to the plan.
But not many people retire at 45 and not many
athletes last 20 years in a sport. So, here's how the three
sports stack up in the middle, the monthly pension
payment at age 65 to a 10-year veteran.
Baseball — $1,287.59 a month; National Hockey
League — $820 per month; National Football League —
$1,600 a month and American Football League —
$1,132 per month.
The 10-year football man in the NFL therefore,
draws the best pension, but he has to wait until age 65
to "retire," whereas the baseball player can collect a
pension of $500 per month when he reaches the age of
50.
"In spite of the addition of four expansion teams,
our current offer of $5,300,000 represents an
across-the-board increase of about seven per cent," says
John Gaherin, representative of the owners.
Despite all the controversy, we would be very
happy to settle for the pension of any professional
sports athlete. It should certainly help to keep the wolf
away from the door.
It's A Small World
Every once and awhile we hear the old saying,
"It's a small world." This certainly applies this week as
far as Helen Burton of Exeter is concerned.
Helen, who is the skip of the Exeter curling rink
competing in the Southwestern Ontario Ladies Curling
championships in Toronto this week found that Jo
Hope was skipping a rink from Trenton.
The Hope's and Burton's were next-door
neighbours at RCAF Station in Clinton, 17 years ago.
The Crediton Tigers are
within one game of reaching the
finals in the southern division of
the Western Ontario Athletic
Association Intermediate "C"
league.
Last year's WOAA grand
champions lead the Clinton
Colts three games to one and
could wrap up the
best-four-of-seven series in
Clinton tonight, Thursday.
If the sixth and seventh
games are necessary, they will be
played at Centralia's Huron Park
arena, Saturday and Sunday
nights.
In the other semi-final set,
the Milverton Four-Wheel Drives
lead the Listowel Vets three
games to none.
The Tigers took a 7.1
decision in Clinton, Thursday,
lost to the Colts 7-3 at Centralia
Sunday and gained a 5-3 win in
Clinton, Tuesday to take a good
grip on the series.
GOOD PRODUCTION
The forward line of Dennis
Morrissey, Paul Young and Bill
Chipchase accounted for four of
the Crediton goals in Tuesday's
5.3 victory. Each member of the
line collected three points for his
night's work.
Morrissey scored the only
goal of the first period, was back
at 5:07 of the second to up the
score to 2.0 and Chipchase
increased the Crediton margin to
three with a successful shot, less
than a minute later.
Joe Livermore put the
Clinton club on the scoreboard
for the first time near the seven
minute mark before Young
tallied for the Tigers,

counter was fired by Fred Lamb

Wrestlers excel
in WOSSA play
A very successful season for
the South Huron District High
School wrestling team came to a
close in London, Saturday.
Five of Doug Ellison's squad
competed in the WOSSA
competitirn in London and put
up a very good showing. With
only a small representation the
local school finished seventh in a
field of 29 competing schools.
Morley Eagleson turned in
the best performance for South
Huron, placing second in the
130-pound division, losing a
decision in the final match to
the London Conference
champion.
Eagleson was also the top
wrestler during the season
coming up with 17 wins in 19
starts and won the Huron-Perth
title in his weight class in
addition to his fine finish,
Saturday.
The smallest wrestler from
the local school, Gerard
Charrette placed fourth in the
90-pound class, He missed a
place in the final by only two
points, losing his semi-final
match 6.4 in an overtime
decision.
During the complete season,
Charrette won 13 matches, while
losing only three. The next best
SH grappler throughout the
season, Dan Shoebottom
finished fifth in the unlimited
class, losing to a 300-pound
opponent.
S h oebottorn, who was
hampered -in Saturday's action
by an injury suffered in a
snowmobile accident won 12 of
15 starts for the season,
Bob Moore, the fourth best
South Huron wrestler during the
year with an 11.5 record place
fourth in Saturday's
competition. The other SH
competitor in WOSSA
competition was Ron Hartman,
who lost his first outing to last
year's WOSSA champion by a
pin after 5.84 of the bout.
As a team, South Huron
gained seven victories and one
tie in dual meets throughout the
year, finished second in a triple
meet, second in a St. Marys
tournament and fifth in the
fluron—'Perth final,
early in the third. Doug
McCauley and Bud Boyes
triggered the final goals for the
Colts.
Bob Callingham in the
Crediton nets turned in a
standout performance to
preserve his club's victory.
FALL BEHIND EARLY
Although the Tigers scored
the first goal of the game in their
7-3 loss, Sunday, they fell
behind early and were never able
to recover,
Fred Lamb scored at 1:18 of
the opening session and then
Clinton scored six consecutive
unanswered goals before the
second period was completed.
Don McDougall led the Colts
in their middle game scoring
spurt with two goals. Singles
were added 'by Harvey Dale,

club has a season total of 25
points.
The other contest saw Huron
Park shade the Old Timers 4-2.

count and back on Exeter ice,
Friday they triumphed by a
score of 6-3 to take the
best-of-three series in straight
games.
The next opposition for the
Exeter club is not known at the
moment but could come from
Delhi, Essex or Tilbury. In an
earlier set, the Exeter youngsters
eliminated St. Marys, also in two
games.
START SLOWLY
In Hanover, Wednesday, the
locals were slow to get started
on the scoreboard, falling behind
1-0 after the first period of play.
Jamie Winkler of Hanover scored
the only goal of the first period
on a three-way passing effort at
6.20.
The second stanza was only a
minute old when Pius Dietrich
put the Exeter kids on even
terms, Gerard O'Rourke and
Robert Ryckman added assists
on the play.
At 6.50, Pete Glover took a
pass from Randy Preszcator to
put Exeter in front 2-1 and
before the period ended, Brad
Klumpp scored what proved to
be the winning goal in the game
on a play started by Robbie
