Goderich Changes
Seen By Visitors Junior Free -For -All To Highlight
Goderich Harness Races On July 1
Mr. and Mrs. Albert E. Stitt and
their son, Mr. Detlor Stitt, of Hast-
ings, Nebraska, were visitors in
town for a few days this week..
Albert (Bert) Stitt is a Goderich
old boy who left this town when
a young man and finally established
a business at Hastings which has
prospered through the years and
is now conducted by his son.
His grandfather, J. V. Detlor, a
prominent business .man of Gode-
'rich many years ago, was mayor
of the town in the years 1865-66-67.
Though he found few who knew•
him as a boy and young man in
Goderich, he was interested in a
drive about town in noting the
changes and improvements that
have been made in the last fifty
years. -,
From 1939 to 1954 spending by f
federal government departments
increased from $413 million to
$4,839 million.
Plans are already in progress
for Goderich's second big harness NILE
racing meet of the season, slated
to be held at the Goderich oval an
July 1.
' Members of the Goderich Trot-
ting and Agricultural Association
have set a total of $2,100 in purses
for the holiday meet, and it is.were Sunday visitors with Joe Mc-
exgested some of the top horses in' Millan and Mrs. H. Morris.. Many

"Fastball Looks Wobbly," says
.an editorial headline in the Mea -
ford Express. Reason given is the
fact that crowds at games in the
fastball circuit to date have been
small. "Walkerton had 100 people
at its opener," says the editorial.
"'Fifty people saw Meaford trourice
Goderich. About 250 saw the open-
ing game here. You cannot pay
stars like Charlie Cotton, Hughie
Hall, Russ Johnson, George Zuk.
and Norm Bagnall on crowds like
that. We do not think these towns
will take kindly to the brand of
softball they will be forced to look
at after seeing the hand-picked
teams of the past two years. '
And that comes from .Meaford,,
.home of the high -flying Knights.
It looks as if it's going to take a
lot of work son the 'part of the
executives of the five teams to . im-
prove the , ituati'on. So far, wea-
ther has Veen against them. But
it takes more than, cool weather to
discourage fastball fans.
The, Goderich executive is try-
ing hard to make up for some of
the do -ray -me lost in last year's
operations. They're pushing the.
sale of tickets and having a draw
for prizes at the home games.
They're trying to get the public in-
terested. But their hands "becoine
tied when the team fails to play
good ball.
Now the' word comes bid that
Chalrlit Cotton has severed rela-
tions with the Goderich team. 'With
him goes his catcher sidekick, Stu
Schley. 'Charlie's wife apparently
phoned a Member of the Goderich
.club's exec ;Cave Monday night and
'said Charlie wanted a "guarantee"
for each game. The executive
turned thumbs down on that deal,
so Charlie decided he was through.
' And on Monday niht also Russ
Johnson, mound ace with the Mea -
ford Knights, parted company with
that team. Reason given in a de-
spatch we heard was that Johnson
had "finished his work" in Mea -
ford. Via the grapevine, however,
we heard that Russ was doing a
double pitching chore. Besides
'doing the hurling for Meaford, he
was playing also at Sherkstone, a
little village outside of Port Co:.
borne, in another league. We
understand the Goderich executive
kicked about the Johnson set-up,
and perhaps that's one reason for
his sudden "retirement" from the
Meaford scene.
Getting back to Cotton, his de-
parture . will likely come as no
surprise to Goderich fans. Last
week it was rumored he was going
to quit, although he denied the
rumor when questioned' by the
execu.tiVe.
We harkened back to a colufnn
by "Hank" Smith in ;he Port Elgin
Times about a month ago when
word of Cotton's quitting was re-
vealed. Here's itrhat "Thank" had
to say: "Chas. Cotton is at the
Goderich helm thit year once
again hoping for a dollar, for ,you
ntid three dollars for me season at
the turnstiles."
No, you can't I►Ay these ,pi<tishing
stars what they ask and eget
to make a .success of the league.
It appears that the league may have
gone past the "wobbly" stage and
could be headed for its downfall.

Roger Bannister, slim British medical
student, performed the individual athletic
feat of the century when he ran a mile • in
less than four minutes. The Miracle Mile.
The ink was scarcely dry on the news-
papers reporting Bannister's achievement
when 225 -pound Parry O'Brien of California sent the 16 -pound
shot hurtling through the air - for f feet, 5 inches, leaving
the fabled 60 -foot mark shattered.
And so there is added to the 'record more*evidence that
man is steadily improving athletically, despite the supposedly
softening effects of the automobile and the other luxuries of
which bur grandparents never even dreamed. Man runs faster,
jumps ' higher and farther, hurls weights greater distances
than ever before.
Take the most basic of all athletic endeavours --running.
Inthe mile, which is reckoned to be the blue ribbon of all
distances, athletes today are running nearly ten per cent
speedier than a century ago. Times which won titles in the
first years Of one -mile championships 'ale noW commonplace
with high school boys.
In the second half of the last century --a 4:30:0 miler Was
a rarity. In fact, England's Walter G. George was the only
really outstanding one. His amateur mord of. 4:21:4 stood
from 1882 until 1895,' and it was not until 1915 that his pro-
fessional record of 4:12% was bettered by Norman Tiber of
the U.S. When George set the„ professional mark, the' news
was received on this side of the Atlantic with grave doubts.
The feeling you glean from periodicals of the time is that it
was then held -impossible for anyone to -run that fast.
But when,- a few weeks ago, Bannister's flying feet carried
him . through , the "impassable" 4 -mile barrier, the world
marvelled.at the performance. No one expressed the slightest
doubt of the timing accuracy. 4
The ` smashing of athletic record's' has become almost
monotonous In recent years, and there exists no doubt as to
the authenticity of each new human feat of •speed, endurance
or performance.
