As President, I feel a great sense of
obligation to my Executive, to those
who faithfully. served at the gates of
the Park, to the Manager and Coaches
of the teams, and to every player, You
have all contributed to another suc-
cessful season, and I am grateful to
you.
We "owe thanks to the Wingham
Police for their help ,in handling the
Fire Department and to the Town
crowd§ of people. The U.F.O., and
the Beaver Lumber Co., have also
been kind to us in lending materials
for extra seating capacity.
Donations of uniforms for our Mid--
get Hardball team came from our
sports-minded Lions Club, and a cash
donation of $3.500 was thankfully re-
ceived from Mte, Bert Armstrong. Sev-
eral local merchants donated addition-
al uniforms to our Juvenile Hardball
Team./ As always, our Town Council
assisted us generously in the upkeep of
the Park with a grant of $200.00. Add
to these thoughtful gifts the loyal sup-
port of our local fans, and you will
readily appreciate why we had another
good season.
The Managers and Coaches of our
teams must not be forgotten. Here are
their names: Charles Crossett, Vic
Loughlean, Hugh Carmichael, 'Carl
Bennett, Al. Rutherford, "Casey"
Casemore, Harry Gerrie and Alvin
Sell. Our Midget Softball Team were
again W.O.A.A. Champions, and our
Juvenile Hardball and Pee Wee teams
were finalists. The really important
thing was that all our players con-
ducted themselves like true athletes,
and we are proud of them.
And so my hope is that we will look
forward as always to a bigger and
better season of sports in 1949, with
each one doing his part, as in the past.
