Entry forms are to be sent to Bob Forrest. Box 463. Exeter. His phone number for further information is 235-2032. Great records The honorary captains of the National and American league teams in the Juy 17 all-star game should feel right at home. They are Lefty Gomez and Carl Hubbell. two of the best southpaws ever to toss a baseball. Gomez was the American league.starting pitcher in five all-star games and shared the distinction with Lefty Grove of being the American league outstanding left-hander of the 1930's. Gomez often talks about his reputation as a hitter. He said recently. "I was the worst hitter you ever saw. Last year. I underwent open heart surgery. They performed a triple bypass. I told the doctor it was the first triple I'd ever had in my life." This year's NL honorary captain Carl Hubbell was a star for the New York Giants through the 1930's. . His big distinction came in the 1934 all-star game when he struck out five consecutive American league batters. They were Babe Ruth. Lou Gehrig. Jimmy Foxx. Al Simmons and Joe Cronin. The chances of another son following in -his father's footsteps as a successful pitcher in the big leagues are getting better. The latest is Steve Trout. son of former Detroit Tiger star Paul 'Dizzy' Trout. The younger Trout is a bit different than his father. He is a southpaw and has spent most of the first part of the season as a reliever. Only last week he was moved into the starting rota- tion. Steve Trout- has said he didn't like the bull pen. This would cause one to remark. "He probably felt like a.fish out of water." Holiday at home With the gas shortage in the United States we would suspect and expect that many of our Ontario `residents will be doing their travelling and holidaying a little closer'to home. In this regard with many more getting the camping bug each year we would like to pass along a little information regarding the many Provincial Parks in Ontario. There are now 128 provincial parks in operation. The closest of course to this area is the Pinery Park with .a close second going to Point Farms Provincial Park. just north of Goderich. As a visitor to a provincial park you have a responsibility to familiarize yourself with the rules and regulations that govern operation of the park. At most parks. the Provincial Parks Act and Li- quor License Act are in force for your benefit and the protection of park property. All visitors must enter parks through the official entrance and no more than six persons may occupy a campsite. except a single family group consisting of parents and unmarried children of the same household. Campsites may not be left unattended for a period longer than 48 hours, nor for a period exceeding eight hours during the fir t 24 hours after the permit has been issued. Only registered guests may remain in the park after the posted hours of closing and no person may camp in the same provincial park more than 23 days in a year without permission. Vehicles must be parked in areas designated for •tb't- ',OVViii1gg ' ehivie rn a rark,Yd on The consumption of alcoholic beverages or posses- sion of containers is allowed only on your campsite and pets must be leashed and kept out of designated swimming areas and off the beach. • The park superintendents. park warden and con- servation officers have the same authority within a provincial park as the Ontario Provincial Police. EY basic rule to remember Ir AHave respect and consideration for your fellow visitor and the park en: vironment. Expos flying The Montreal Expos continue their winning ways and the chances of a Canadian team in the 1979 World Series are pretty good. One of the main reasons for the Expos success is the scarcity of injuries. Since the start of the season manager Dick Williams has not had to make any per- sonnel changes. Most teams usually are forced to put at least one player on the disabled list, but, this hasn't happened yet in Montreal. .' In fact -in the first 78 games only two pitchers have missed their regular rotation. The ogle miss was when ac' southpaw Bill Lee was hit by a taxi while out jogging. Fan enthusiasm is really great in.Montreal this year. This is the .first real chance they have had to cheer since the old Montreal Royals won the Little World Series in 1946. i': PROS AT CHRISTIAN HOCKEY CAMP --Huron Park was the site last week for the first Christian Athlete hockey camp to be • held in this area.

The left hand should support the FOR INFORMATION ON • l• • :.e rs in South Huron Phone 235-1834 We Need More Big Brothers Now! • racquet head if it is placed under the upper part of the shaft. The players weight should be slightly forward on the balls of the feet. while the feet are a comfortable distance apart. • The ready position is the foundation for all strokes and should be a very relaxed one since it is used as much as possible. Without this position, you will seldom be prepared to make your next shot. To get in the habit, use this stance when hitting against the wall. even if this means letting the ball bounce twice between' strokes, and the rewards will be worth it.
