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 rhampion. Bob Snarey of Shakespeare who weighs in at close to 300 pounds will be corn- . 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 Johti Becker a call at 237-3628. Hope for the future Ile the current performances of -the Toronto Blu 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'M©seby 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-v.elt 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 catcher and outfielder to the mound. Tile way present Toronto catcher Allan Ashby has been hitting it mat, be difficult for Milner or anyone 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 to 40 from the regular 25. 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 saitl 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. but4teir midget draft is quite similar. Each year the junior teams draft 15 and 16 year- olds throughout Cada. 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 rote, join the army, get married, etc. they should be able to earn a living on the ice.
