Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1978-08-24, Page 6PAGE 6— CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1978 Colts tie H-Pfinals by Bob Livermore Last Sunday evening at the Clinton Community Park, the Clinton Colts trampled over the Dash- wood Tigers by a score of 22-3 to even the best of three Huron -Perth 'finals at one game each. Dashwood took an eakrly 1-0 lead in the first inning but the Colts came back with four runs in the bottom half of the second inning to take a .4-1 lead. At this point the Colts never looked back as they scored five in the third, four in the fourth, two in tie fifth and seven in the sixth to round out the scoring. Don MacDonald pit- ched five strong innings in picking up the victory. Tim McLean pitched the final four innings. The Colts outhit the Tigers 17 to eight. MacDonald and Greg Burns led the Colt batters with three hits each. Dan Colquhoun, Cal Fremlin and McLean added two hits apiece while Paul Bartliff, Doc Miller, Butch Fleet, Don Bartliff and Richard Welsh added one hit each. In Dashwood , last Friday night, the Dash- wood Tigers nipped the Colts 10-9 to take the one game lead. Clinton grabbed a 1-0 lead in the top half of the first inning as MacDonald singlgd and scored on an error by the catcher. Dashwood came right back in the bottom half of the first inning to score six,big runs off Colt Naturally speaking By Steve Cooke As August fades into September and the nights start -cooling off, I start watching the lawns around town. I don't expect to find a bonanza of mushrooms on my front lawn, but the ap- pearance of toadstools and other fungii among the grass tells me that other mushrooms should be poking up through the rich humus of shady wood lots . Too many people have told me that they are afraid to pick wild mushrooms. This is a statement I cannot truly comprehend. With a good field guide in hand and a little research at the local library, picking .mushrooms in the bush can be as safe and easy as buying them in the supermarket. There •are two basic rules to follow. If at all in doubt, don't eat it and forget any old wives tales you've heard that describe how to tell if a mushroom is poisonous or not. The old silver spoon trick does not work, and just because some animal or bird nibbled on a particular mushroom, that does not make it safe to eat. Grouse commonly feast on poison ivy berries, but I'll be damned if you're going to get me to eat one. For the initial foray into the world of fungi, stick to the common easily recognized species, Morels, shaggy manes, sulphur mushrooms and of course the giant puffball are often called the "foolproof four". After identifying these species once, you will always recognize .them and they can provide you with many a gourmet meal in the future. The giant puffball (Lycoperdon Gigantea) is probably the easiest to recognize. The puffball usually grows in hardwood bushes and is easily spotted by: its pure white ball shaped ap- pearance. As long as the puffball is in its pure white state, and is firm to the touch, it is fine for eating. As it matures, it turns 'yellowish green, then brown and should be left in the bush to produce spores for another generation. It will range in size, anywhere from a golf ball to a basketball, and the big ones are just as tasty as the little ones. Whenever we are blessed with finding one of these delightful fungii, my wife promptly prepares a feast for us. Rosemarie slices the puffball into slabs from three-eighths to one-half inch thick before dipping it into a beaten egg and then breadcrumbs. This concoction is then fried in butter until it is a golden brown and resembles breaded veal cutlet. The egg dip seems to seal out a good deal of the butter and preserves the rich flavour of the puffball itself. The same fried slices can also be separated with waxed paper and frozen to provide a real treat later in the winter when heated up on a cookie sheet. All in all, wild mushrooms can be a real treat anytime, but especially in the fall when they are up in numbers. Pick yourself up a good field guide, and get out there and enjoy yourself for an afternoon in the bush. Don't forget to take a basket along. starter and loser McLean. The Tigers scored their runs on only two singles, four walks and two Colt errors. Dashwood scored another run in the second without the aid of a hit to make it 7-1. At this point in the game Colquhoun took over on the mound for the Colts. With his pitching the Colts seemed to play much better ball.. Going into, the fifth inning and trailing 8-1 Clinton scored three times. MacDonald led off with a double, Fremlin walked and back to back singles by Colquhoun and Miller produced three runs. In the sixth, the Colts rallied for three more runs to make the score a- .7. Fleet led off with a walk; MacDonald doubled him to third; Fremlin walked filling the bases; and with two out, Miller hit a two run single and the third run scored -on a Dashwood error. A two -run homer by Jim Guenther in the Dashwood sixth turned out to be the winning blow as the Tigers took a 10-7 lead at that point. Con- secutive solo home runs by Bartliff in the seventh and ninth could only bring the Colts closer by one run. When the game ended the Colts had runners on first and second. Paul Bartliff led the Colt attack with two homers and a single. Miller contributed three singles, CQiquhoun chipped with two singles, Don MacDonald had a double and' two singles and Fremlin, Bartliff and Fleet each had one single. The third and deciding game of the series was played_ hast night (Wednesday) at Clinton. Results of the game were unavailable at 'press time. If the colts won the game, they could be starting their first round of the OBA playoffs this weekend. If they lose, it's all over for another season. Sheila Arnston of Clinton closes her eyes and splashes on as she completes her. 85th lap on her way to doing 100 laps during a swlm-a-thon held last Tuesday at the Clinton pool. Sheila raised over $200 in the marathon which will likely see $600 raised towards equipment for the town's new pool. News -Record photo sports Sunday's race entries RACE 1 Pace $350 SANDY MELODY R.
