Slcpitch League, handed
the. 1980 'A' Champion
Bayfield Babes a 27-14
trouncing , in exhibition
play..
The Babes led the
u contest 12-10 going into
the fifth inning when the
Allstars scored 11 runs to
go ahead 21-13, From
there they coasted to
victory in the game

cool weather and a lop-
sided score.
All players had a good
time and hope to make it
an annual event,
hopefully in warmer
weather so more fans can
attend.

Walks for
Terry Fox
GODERICH Pat King's
feet may be tender and
sore, but it -wag for a
worthwhile cause.
Goderich's Police Chief
managed to chalk up 54
miles in a gruelling 24-
hour walk to raise money
for Terry Fox -.Marathon
of Hope.
Hundreds of dollars
were raised , as local
people came out t6 pledge
money and support Chief
King in his marathon
walk.
Despite near moments
of defeat, the 52 -year-old
man walked continuously
around the quarter -mile
high school track, only ,
stopping for 10 minutes
every two hours.
But Chief King was not
alone in his marathon and
through the wind, rain,
night and sunshine over
250 other stfpporters
walked along with Chief
King during the 24 hours.
Chief King made the
impetuous challenge to
walk on a Terry Fox
phone-a-thon, insisting
that he would walk
around the high -school
track if the public would
raise the, $250 necessary
to bring the total pledge
money from the Rhone-a-
°thon to $15,000.

- --meeting . being-- held on
Lampoonery
By Bud Sturgeon
Around the `Hollow' a much used expression,
"There's nothing on!" was often uttered when
asked about the night's lineup of television
viewing.
" This year there may well be more fact than
fiction to that statement, if the actors strike soon
doesn't come to an end. Looking on the bright
side, judging from the proposed fall lineup of
programming, maybe we'd all be better off if•
they never went back t `work'.
Anyways, we're into ouri third!or-fourth week
Iof the new season, and nothing outstanding has
boobed across the tube et.
Take for instance that new Japanese western
called "shogun" that ran for g week,„,straight. I
found there was a lot moor talk than action, on,
and
most -unfortunately humble -Reader-sons, the
talk was mostly in Japanese. That's allwell and
good for those of you that can speak fluent
Japanese, but I have not mastered the language
as of yet. The 50 percent of the show that I could
understand, most was commercial time.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the entire gist of
the show seemed to be about a bunch of Oriental
cowboys who couldn't afford guns, cattle or
horses, so they rode around on asses and used
swords and women instead. (And not -necessarily
in that order.)
But looking at TV life from a different slant, a
big squabble developed between the CBC and
some of its viewers over sports broadcasting.
With the Montreal Expos engaged in -a tight race
which could lead them to the World Series, the
CBC in Toronto decided that fans would watch
the Toronto Blue Jays battle for last place in
their division. The big break came when CBC
decided to carry a Saturday . afternoon game
between the Expos and Pirates. What would
happen if the First Ministers Conference, (which
was also being broadcast that day), didn't end on
time?
Would the viewers watch the likes of Trudeau,,
Levesque, Davis and Lougheed or would it be
Sousa, LaFlore, Dawson and Fryman? The final
score was Expos 1, Premieres 0.
I had a great idea for a new TV show that I
thought would be a hit. It was to be called Slop- in
a Pot and feature weekly recipes sent in by
viewers.
The first week would have gone something like
this; How to make a moron stew. Take one
large. pot and add a cup of water. Slowly pour in
members of the CBC's executive. Stir in the
CRTC. Bring to a boil and add members of the
Censorship Board to taste. If more personal
humiliation is required, add the Liquor Control
• Board of Ontario and simmer!
I just didn't know where a big enough pot to
hold all those degenerates could be found.
-Getting back to, the real world, good luck in
finding something -of interest to watch on TV this
season. If you appreciate earth humor, you
might want to see Maggie Trudeau make a fool
of herself on 'Big City Comedy', or if your
preference leans more towards contrived
material, check out the local news, weather and
sports. The ''best laugh going this year is the
Global Version. As for me, I think I'll tune in to
municipal politics.
