Times-Advocate, 1978-08-03, Page 10Page 10 Times-Advocate, August 3, 1978 Spotlight /*■ *, By Ross Haugh a » Need strong men Anyone in the area professing to be strong and muscular could do worse than get in touch with John Becker who is chairman of the sports committee for Friedsburg Days in Dashwood. The annual popular event in Dashwood goes this weekend with the arm wrestling and tug-of-war tests set for Saturday afternoon and evening. The arm wrestlers will find the competition ex­ tremely tough this year with the expected appearance of an Ontario champion. Bob Snarey of Shakespeare who weighs in at close to 300 pounds will be com­ peting. Snarey won a smiliar event held a week earlier at the Zurich fall fair. If you feel capable of entering either event requir­ ing strength give John Becker a call at 237-3628. second place Stella Taylor and Roy Income Averaging Certificates Competitive Rates FOR APPOINTMENT PHONE Placing in a s tie Tuesday night were Alvin Pym and Stan Mitchell. Next in a four-way deadlock came Lawrence Wein, Rose Hart, RRSP R.H.O.S.P. Blanchard. Rounding out the winners were Bid Lamport, Ray Smith and Ted Chambers. Hope for the future While the current performances of -the Toronto Blue Jays may not be quite what their most loyal fans were expecting there certainly appears to be hope for the future. Three or four of their top draft picks in January and June are producing better than anyone could hope for. All eyes of Blue Jay supporters have been on Medicine Hat, Alberta where some of the promising youngsters are performing. The number one choice in June, Lloyd Moseby got 10 hits in his first 13 trips to the plate in his first weekend Qf pro ball and is currently hitting near .450. Some may say “don’t get too excited’’ about these early antics of youngsters in the Pioneer league, but, just the same the other teams in the same loop also have top prospects. The Blue Jays are also high on Brian Milner, a young catcher who played two games with the American league club before being sent to Medicine Hat. Milner showed well at the plate in his two games against the Baltimore Orioles. Two of Milner’s hits came in the game which Oriole manager Earl Weaver sent a catcher and outfielder to the mound. The way present Toronto catcher Allan Ashby has been hitting it may be difficult for Milner or ahyone else to break into the regular lineup. It will be interesting to see how these young players perform in late season games with the Blue Jays. Several will be sure to be added to the big league roster on September 1 when the player limit is in­ creased jto 40 from the regular 25.

Guenther, Pfaff win Tigers score two victories The Dashwood Tigers con­ tinued their winning streak in the Huron-Perth in­ termediate baseball league this week with two con­ secutive victories. Friday night the Hawks scored a decisive 11-2 win over the Byron juniors and Sunday afternoon they were victorious over the Crediton Mets by a score of 9-2. Against Byron, the Tigers jumped into a four run lead in the first inning and were never threatened thereafter. Bob Hoffman and Barry Baynham opened the Dashwood first, John Hayter singled. Jim Guenther drew another base on balls and Perry Stover cracked out a double to provide the scoring punch. In the Tiger fourth. doubles by Rob Dickey and Perry Stover and a single from the bat of John Hayter sent four more runs across the plate. Singles by Barry Baynham, Noel Skinner and Rob Dickey produced three Dashwood tallies in the sixth to complete the scoring. Lefty Jim Guenther was on the Dashwood mound. He allowed only two runs and four hits. The runs came, in single fashion in the second and third frames. He struck out eight and walked an even dozen. The other Dashwood hit in addition to the run scoring innings was a two out single in the eighth by Kevin Bestard. doubles to score four more runs. The final Tiger run came in the sixth when Barry Baynham singled, moved to second as John Hayter was hit by a pitch and scored on a pair of ground-outs. The only Crediton power was exhibited by catcher Pete Wuerth who hit two home runs. They came to lead off the second and with two out and the bases empty in the eighth frame. The only other Crediton • hits off Pfaff were a single by Percy Bedard and a dou­ ble from the bat of Gord Baird. Dan Heywood was the starting and losing pitcher for the Mets. War over youngsters The hue and cry a few weeks ago over the signing of four junior hockey players by Al Eagleson and his Sports Management Limited group appears to have settled down a little bit. The biggest moan came from our nation’s capital from none other than Howard Darwin who complained Eagleson had a conflict of interest. Darwin said Eagleson was a player agent dealing with the four young hockey players while acting as an officer of Hockey Canada. We agree The Eagle may sometimes have too many hockey hats, but, he very seldom talks through them. Darwin doesn’t appear to have much ground to stand on when talking about conflict of interest. He happens to be the owner of two hockey teams in the, same league, the Ottawa 67’s and the London Knights. In defence of Eagleson, he didn’t think Ken Linesman of Kingston should turn pro and said so publicly. What happened? Linesman changed agents and turned pro. The junior operators certainly have a legitimate beef when their budding young stars are snatched away. It hurts at the gate when stars of the calibre of a Wayne Gretzky are taken away. If the junior operators are looking for somebody to shoot at, they could aim at the agents, the 10- percenters who really push their clients into the play- for-pay world so they can grab their monetary share quickly. Junior operators have their own rules whereby players can’t go pro until their junior eligibility has expired, but, their midget draft is quite similar. Each year the junior teams draft 15 and 16 year- olds throughout Canada. With only few exceptions, these young hockeyists go where they are drafted or stay home and play Junior “B”. It’s understandable that these juniors would jump at an annual salary of $60,000 to turn pro. Their junior monetary rewards are $70 per week and whatever crumbs they may find under the table. If our memory serves us correctly several 18 year-olds have signed professional contracts in the past. Oh, fellows like Bobby Orr, Gordie Howe and Bep Guidolin to name a few. Guidolin played one game for the Boston Bruins at the age of 15. It seems that the laws of hockey should coincide with the laws of the land. Residents of the age of 18 or more are legally adults in the eye of the law and cou­ rts. It just stands to reason that if an 18 year-old is allowed to vote, join the army, get married, etc. they should be able to earn a living on the ice. To honour horsemen A dozen area pioneers the standardbred racing field will be honored by Canadian Trotting Association at a special ceremony at the Clinton Kinsmen Raceway this coming Sunday afternoon, August 6. The CTA, in conjunction with Standardbred Canada, a history project undertaken by the Association, is awarding Pioneer Cer­ tificates and passes to persons 65 years of age and over who have a long record of involvement with some phase of the sport. With the co-operation of Canadian raceways, the pass is good for nearly every trackside ceremony after the ninth race at the Clinton track . To get the pass, they must also have made themselves available for interview, or have co-operated in the collection of historical material for the Stan­ dardbred Canada history project. Those to be honored at Clinton include brothers Lawrence and Sheldon Atmore of Parkhill, Roy “Sugar” Merian of Goderich, David Shamblaw of Kirkton, Jack Morrissey of Grand Bend, and Tom Yearley of Exeter. Mitchell will be well represented when the late William Farrow, Gordon Fawm, and the late Dr. Charles Houze will be honored, while Clinton will have four’on hand, including Walter Oster, Lome Brown, George Elliott, and the late Art Knight. And added feature on Sunday will be the sixth renewal of the Clinton Centennial Pace. r in horse Gabian Stone Calcium Chloride in 100 pound bags Moto cross final at Varna, Sunday Sand & Stone Gravel Moto cross action returns to HuIIy Gully this weekend with the first round of the Good Times motocross series, Sunday, The series features all classes from schoolboys to experts and old timers with over 300 competitors pre­ entered.

Pfaff allowed only four well scattered hits. The Tigers started off in similar fashion to the win over Byron with four scores in their first turn at the plate. The first three runs came as Bob Hoffman singled, Barry Baynham walked and John Hayter followed with a bases clearing home run. Kevin Bestard and also scored in the first inning.
