Sluggers dust off'JtouseTwives
In a close matched
game the Clinton
Sluggers ladies' ball
team managed to take
one extra run to win that
naturally
speaking
first game of the best of
three semi-final playoffs
against the Clinton
Housewives. The final

It's thimbleberry time, 'and ther
them this year. The rains we've had
have come at just the right time f
berry and the crop is the largest I'v
number of years.
Thimbleberries are often called
berries by many people, but they are
different. The wild black raspberry is
quite round while the thimble
enlongated, often being as large as the t
little finger to the first joint. The flaVo
somewhat different. It is not quite as
the raspberry, and is a little flatter tasti
still a delight to enjoy.
The seeds in the thimbleberry are qui
and gritty so it is best to prepare them fo

use as
a jelly only. Our two favorite recipes are
Thimbleberry Jam (jelly) and a dessert we .
make up and call a freeze.
For the jam, we basically follow the jelly
recipe in the_ pectin package ,but use. ore -
berries than the recipe calls for. We als cut
back slightly on the sugar to avoid getting a J lly
that is too sweet.
For the freeze, we crush and squeeze one qu rt
of thimbleberries. In a pot we combine 3/ cup of
water and a cup of sugar and boil till the tee -
perature reaches 230 degrees. Three egg whites
are beaten till stiff and then slowly added to the
sugar syrup, stirring constantly till cool. The
juice from -Vie berries is added to two cups of
whipped cream and then folded into the egg
mixture. This mixture is put in the freezer for at
least four hours, although overnight is better.
When ready to serve, let stand at room tem-
perature for about 20 minutes then watch your
guests dig in, This recipe will ,make about 8 '
generous servings.
Puffballs will soon be in season, but it's been a
dry fall for them so far. I've been out looking
without success, but Mac Elliott. told me he has
picked a couple of small ones for his first feed of
the year. If we get some rain, we could have a
pretty fair crop but if it stays dry they'll be
spotty and small again like last year.

When it comes to dressing up an artificial bait,
everyone knows that a piece of pork rind works.
However,not too many people carry a jar of rind
in their tacklebox, so if you think the action is a
little slow, and want to try and pick it up, try this
trick. Cut a strip of belly skin (with meat at-
tached) from a fish you've already caught and
thread it on the hooks of your favorite spoon or
spinner. The strip, should be about an inch wide
at the front tapering to the back and two or three
inches long. This little trick can often make the
difference between a so so day and a full creel.
Remington has just announced that they now
have interchangeable barrels for their Model
3200 over and under shotgun. The basic gun in
one of these sets will be the competition grade
3200 with .28" skeet choked barrels. The other
barrels will come in 20, 28 and 410 gauges giving
the skeet shooter four guns, in one for all aspects
of the game.
Another new release from the same people is a
26" full choked barrel for their 12 ga. 1100 and
870. Whilemost people prefer a longer barrel in
full choke, there apparently has been enough
interest in this length to warrant a limited
production run. I have always been a fan of
shorter barrelled shotguns, and as the
Remington people put it, the short barrel should
be quite popular with turkey hunters. Skeet
shooters might also find this little tube quite
interesting, Just think what you could do in a
competition with a skeet barrel on your gun if
. you used this short full choked barrel in practice.
It would quickly let you know if you were cen-
tering your targets, or just catching them with
the fringe of the pattern. If you're interested in
one of these barrels, I'd suggest you get your
order in early as there will be a limited quantity
available.

game was 9-8.
The Sluggers came out
strong -in the bottom of
the first inning, loading
the bases; however the
Housewives, only allowed
thein one run.
Sharon White tied the
game with a run in the top
of the second and
Marlene 'Cunningham got
a run for the Sluggers.
The third inning went
scoreless .but the
Housewives came back to
tie the ,score in the fourth
inning with a home run by
Carol Lobb. The Sluggers
took the lead in the fifth
inning, bringing four runs
a rncc the elate.
The Housewives
bounced back in the sixth

Vanderdoal and Karen
Stewart each hit doubles
while Pat `Norman hit a
triple and Carol Lobb got
a single. The Sluggers got
three runs by Marlene

Ladd.
Tie Sluggers came

Miller.
Colts ousted by
Tillsonburg
The Clinton Colts
Intermediate Baseball
Club will be hanging up
their spikes for another
year as they were
eliminated from further
Ontario Baseball
Association playoffs last
weekend.
The Colts were beaten
two games to none by
Tillsonburg on the
weekend in• the best -of -
three quarter -final
series.
The Colts lost the first
game 16-9 here in Clinton
on Saturday aftenoon,
and were then put out on
Sunday in Tillsonburg,
when they dropped a 5-3
decision in the Senior C
playoff.
Tillsonburg now meets
Leamington in semi-final
action.
Suns finish second
For the second year in
a row, the Milverton Suns
played the
bridesmaid, role as they
lost out to British
Columbia in the cham-
pionship game last
Sunday in the Canadian
Senior Women's Softball
tournament, held in
Milverton.
Vancouver's Doc BIues
downed the Suns 4-0 to
claim their sixth
championship, and go
through the five-day
affair . undefeated. B.C.
teams won the title from
1972 to 76, lost 'to Kit-
chener . in 1977, and
finished -fourth last year.
The Suns, who also
finished second last year
in the championship in
Regina, couldn't put their
strong hitting game
together in the final
.game, ending a
frustrating tournament.
Despite winning five of
seven games, they never
lived up to their offensive
potential. They had nine
hits against the Nor-
thwest Territories, but
only 16 in the other six
games. The Suns won
three games in the
preliminary round and
lost only one, a 13 inning
contest to B.C., but in-
eludiing their 10-0 win
over the Territories,' only
scored 12 -runs.
Fortunately, . the Suns,
got outstanding
- performances from their
pitchers and the defen-
sive play was outstanding
in the Tournament 'at
tended -by 23,000 fans,
including 7,000 the final
day.
Milverton's Luanne
Izzard threw a perfect
game ----against Saskat-
chewan Saturday and a
no-hitter earlier in the
tournament, while Doris
Coultes, who lost that 13-
inning B.C. contest,
tossed a three -hitter in
the semi-finals against,
Alberta. Moira Hughson,
who plays only defence,
was a standout at shor-
tstop throughout the
tournament.
In the final, B.C. pit-
cher Dianne Materi,
chosen .the tournament's
outstanding player,
allowed only . a second -
inning single by
designated hitter Iris
Marshall, and retired the.
last 17 batters she faced in
her first pitching per-
formance of the tour-
nament. She played in-
field and outfield in the
