Auburn youth gets major league chance For one young man from the Auburn area, an invitation to a major league baseball prospect camp was quite an experience. Chad Foster, 15, along with Goderich Midget ball teammate Kyle Young, were among 24 young players asked to attend an Atlanta Braves camp in Windsor recently where major league scouts were on hand to watch the boys work out. Foster was first approached alter a tournament in Wallaceburg in June. Not realizing it was a prospects' camp, Foster said he was surprised at the calibre of players at the half-day session. Though Foster and Young have both played various positions throughout their long baseball careers, both opted to work-out as outfielders. Foster said the skills were not difficult — catching flyballs and line drives then throwing to third and home — but still a challenge. _ After the drills, the players were told where their weaknesses were and what to work on. Both still too young to be considered for the draft, they said they had a lot of time to continue improving their skills. Goderich Midget Coach Dave Clemmer said Foster and Young arc "super kids and deserve a chance". They will have an opportunity to play for Team Ontario next year. Two of Mrs. D. Granges' granddaughters of London visited this week with her and Mr. and Mrs. R. Worsell and family. Mr. and Mrs. E. Lapp took a trip to Fort Collins, Colorado to see her only remaining sister Mrs. Lois TamPlar and her son Charles.
