Racing in Huron
Sunday was the first day of summer and with it
comes the return of harness racing to Huron county.
This Sunday at 1:30 p.m. the Kinsmen club of Clin-
ton will be back in business with their first of 14 Sun-
day afternoon programs running through to September
28.
Opening day will feature Ontario Sire Stakes for
two near -old colts and geldings. A number of other
feature races will be run throughout the summer
months.
Thursday. July 2, the Goderich Raceway will sw-
ing its gates open for another meet.
The two area tracks are getting together to spon-
sor a pacing series. The first leg goes at Goderich on
August 20 and the second will go in Clinton on August
30.
This series is open to pacers between the ages of
two and four years of age with winnings of less than
$2,500 lifetime. Nominations will close July 1.
A good round
Ken Doig who is known as one of the top amateur
golfers in Western Ontario doesn't appear to have lost
his touch.
Doig, owner of the Seaforth golf course easily won
the A flight championship in Saturday's annual in-
vitational tournament at the Ironwood course.
He recorded a gross score of 66 putting together
identical nines of 33 on the way to the championship.
No strike here
The current baseball strike has cut the television
and radio entertainment for a lot of people not only
here in southern Ontario, but, throughout all of North
America.
While it appears the strike could be a very lengthy
one. ball fans in the area will get their chance for some
live action. Sunday afternoon, July 5.
That's the day, two of Ontario's top ladies fastball
teams will be in town for an exhibition contest. Show-
ing their talents and expertise on the diamond will be
the Milverton Suns and the Milverton Millwrights.
The Suns have been Ontario ladies senior champs
and in the Canadian finals a number of times in recent
years and the Millwrights are an up and coming junior
club.
Lynne Farqhuar of Exeter and Iris Marshall,
formerly of the Kirkton area are valued and veteran
members of the Milverton Suns.
In the Millwrights lineup are two former members
of the Kirkton midget championship team. They are
pitcher Patti Down and third baseman Sheila Penhale.
Here's a chance to see four local girls performing
and at the came time support a good cause. All
proceeds go to the Exeter minor ball association.
A year ago, the Milverton Suns were in Hensall to
play the Zurich men's fastball team and it proved to be
a very interesting an exciting game.
Want to advertise?
Anybody wishing to advertise their product would
get great coverage if they signed up for the telecast of
the 1982 Super Bowl football game which comes up
next January at Pontiac, Michigan.
How about the cost? We just heard this week that a
30 second spot on the Super Bowl telecast will cost a
sponsor $350,000.
Do you know baseball?
Most of us here in Canada know enough about the
rules of baseball to get by if someone new to the game
asks some questions. Is that right? We are not too sure
about that.
Two weeks ago, an English girl spent the weekend
at our home and a Montreal Expos game was on televi-
sion.
Her first question was , "How many pitches does
each batter gets Well the answer is, 'could be any
amount". First we explained the strike zone between
the shoulders and knees and across the 17 inch home
plate.
The first two pitches to the batter were balls and
then the next two were strikes and that was easy. But,
then the next pitch was fouled off. Her query was,
What was that? Of course, that's a foul ball and a
strike. but. only up to the first two strikes do they
count.
The batter finally hit a ground ball to the short
stop and was thrown out at first. Our English friend's
question was .Why do they have to catch the ball with a
foot on the base'. Apparently in the English game of
cricket the ball can merely be thrown to or past the
base to retire the batter.
Then came. Why does the pitcher lift a foot off the
ground? Before we could answer that question it was
time for supper and the TV was turned off.
Fortunately we didn't have to explain double
plays. forceouts. balks, runs scoring after a catch,
sacrifices and so many things the ordinary fans take
for granted
