Despite victories in their first two starts, new • head coach Willie Wood says he is not happy with his club's performances in the wins over Montreal and Calgary.. While the Argos are off and running, the eastern division champion Montreal Alouettes appear to be in trouble, We would hazard a gtiesS that by the end of the first six weeks of play the Montreal and Toronto clubs will be a little closer together. In major league baseball, the Toronto Blue. Jays have run into a summer slump, but, now appear to be back on the.right track after two weekend wins in Seat- tle. They are currently only three games back of the Cleveland Indians and two other teams in the two leagues have worse records, Dave Stieb continues to be a bright spot for the Blue Jays. He continues to pitch well with six con- secutive complete games, something unheard of in the first three seasons of the Toronto team. `The Blue Jays are at or near the top of the major leagues•with the most double plays and we have finally realized one of the main reasons for this great feat., Sure the Jays have a great second base combina- tion in Alfredo Griffin and Damaso Garcia, but there is another reason, The Jays will likely also rank very high in the number of runners allowed to reach first base with none or one out and set up possible twin killings. The Toronto club has fallen below the .500 mark, but, they are well ahead of 1st year in the win column and attendance at CNE stadium is also up con- siderably from a year ago. • Long to be remembered He shoots, he scores! That familiar phrase will no longer be heard on television or radio. That's right, Foster Hewitt has officially retired with the sale of his radio station CKFH in Toronto. The 77 year-oldhHewitt said health had nothing to do with his decision to sell. He added, "I'm feeling fine and want to keep it that way, but, nobody can go on forever." Physically, Foster Hewitt has been the iron man of hockey surpassing any of the players. From March of 1923 when he did his first broadcast of an amateur game to about 1975 he never missed an assignment ex- cept when he was out of the country for world tour- naments or winter Olympic Games. Even on the day his mother was killed on a trip to New York, Foster finished a football broadcast at Var- sity Stadiurn.and was in his usual place in the gondola at. Maple Leaf Gardens that night. His radio station CKFH was openen on February 21, 1951 as a 250 watt operation. It is now 50,000 watts and the base station for the Hewpex Sports Network and Toronto Blue Jays broadcasts. With Foster Hewitt established as the Maple Leafs official voice on the air, his station was recognized as the Toronto hockey outlet until two years ago when CKFH lost the contract. Foster admits, "Losing the Leafs hurt us, Another thing that hurt us is the continually rising cost of spor- ting events production. I am of the .opinion that the future of radio lies in network operation." Throughout the years we will likely hear, "He shoots, he scores" on many occasions, but, not delivered the same style as by Mr. Hockey himself, Foster Hewitt. Change in Date We were informed Monday morning that the date of the reunion of former personnel at RCAf Centralia has been changed. It will now be held on Friday and Saturday, August 7 and 8 at Canadian Forces Base in Trenton. A former teacher at McCurdy school and an avid sports participant and organizer John McCarroil tells us that at least three former station commanders will be in attendance. They will be Group Captains Bean, Ockenden and Newsom. IVIcCarroll who has put together a 45 minute tape of the former air force base for his firm Perth County TV News is trying to organize an old-timers ball game for the reunion. Yours truly was an umpire for many of the Cen- tralia station teams and it would be great to get back to renew acquaintances with fellows like Tiny Davis, Jack Thompson, Tommy Thompson, Bill Hayward, Monty Mon tomura, Doug Grayer and many, many others. The reunion' is open to anyone who was ever employed at RCAF base in either a service or civilian capacity. We will have more information from John as the August date gets .closer. Don't forget Another important date to remember is the evening of Tuesday, August 5 in HensalL That's the night, one of Ontario's top ladies fast- ball teams, the Milverton Suns will take on the Zurich Buckeyes. The Buckeyes coached by Murray Baker of Hen- sail are one of the foremost men's fastball tournament teams in this part of Western Ontario. Efforts are being made to bring three of Hensall's veteran ball players out of retirement for the official opening ceremony. We will keep their names a Secret until next Week's issue when we hope to have a picture of the three ready for action. In addition, Bill Brady, popular host of CPPL's Open Line radio show will be at the microphone as the designated announcer to keep everybody informed as to What is going on. Sounds like a great night and all proceeds go to the South Huron Agritultural Society, somas of the Hen- sail Spring Pair, LOCAL COWGIRL — Barb Parsons of Exeter was one of the participants in the barrel race at the weekend rodeo.
