A large catch A recent fishing expedition to the French River proved not only exciting, but rewarding for two local anglers_ Brian Illman and Ted Van Roestel landed 'one of the largest sturgeon ever caught in that area. Exeter figure skating club It measured six foot, two inches and weighed in at 82 pounds. That sounds like and is a large fish. We saw it in the Illman garage with the backbone already deleted. They were told by Indians in the French River area that the meat would keep better if the backbone is removed as quickly as possible. It sounds great to catch a fish of this enormity, but, not so easy to land. The chore of landing the sturgeon took a total of two hours and a lot of reeling in. The fish took care of the reeling out. It vir- Sports Spotlight by Ross Haugh tually towed the local fishermen around the lake and when the Line was extended they would start the motor and catch up again. Equipment used was an ordinary rod and reel with a 15 pound test line and a minnow for bait. He must have been overly starved. Can we say it must have been a fintastic experience for Brian and Ted and a whale of a true story. Look to next year Think positively and look ahead to spring training in 1986. That's the advice we. have for the Toronto Blue Jays management and players.

Following in order were ,John Eberle 233, Grace Farquhar 195 and B. Watson 187. ment, let's not look back, but ahead for better things. The Jays are in an excellent position of having at least 10 players that should be the nucleus of the lcub for the next seven or eight years and they are bound to improve with age and experience. Around for along time should be pitchers Dave Stieb, Jim Clan- cy, Jimmy Key and Tom Henke; infielders Willie Upshaw, Tony Fernandez and Damaso Garcia and outfielders George Bell, Lloyd Moseby and Jesse Barfield. With a sprinkling of veterans and more fresh recruits from the farm system, the Jays should be as good or better than they were this year. Before anyone says they were not good enough dur- ing the just concluded season, just remember they were almost wire to wire leaders in the Americal league eastern division. The one thing about champions they must be beaten. In the last few years in this same division, beating of the previous year's winners was not too difficult to achieve. Baseball in Japan A couple of weeks ago we saw a baseball game from Japan via a satellite dish and found some interesting items. One of the performers that night was former Montreal Expo Warren Cromar- tie. The announcers said Cromartie had one year to go on his Japanese contract and after that was expected to return to North America. Mr. Oh, the great home run hitter in Japan was the manager of one of the teams we saw. One of the pitchers gave the signs to the catcher to tell whit kind of pitch he was going to throw. The speed of each pitch was recorded on the bottom left cor- ner of the screen in kilometres per hour. The fastest pitch was 14i kilometres which deciphers out to 88.125 miles per hour.
