SPORTS
"By Observer
The fastball season is over, as
far as Goderich is concerned. The
schedule finished last week and the
local Flyers were left at the bottom
of the heap with their wings clip-
ped. The word was around a while
ago that the Flyers might go into
OASA competition. They would
be eligible with Booker Thomas, a
college student, as'Ditcher. Latest
report, however, is that the local
team has folded up its tent like the
Arabs. The season, on the whole,
was a poor one. The team' is said
to have lost a considerable sum of
money on top of a heavy loss last
year. The reason? • Anybody's
guess is a good one. The season
started off poorly. Charlie Cotton
performed mound -duties for a
while. The team lost consiste ly.
Then local talent took ove ' the
pitching chores after Cot n. de-
parted. But the WOAA ecutive
had squaks from other eams be-
cause they didn't think the pitch-
ing was of a high enough calibre.
The executive agreed, suspended
the Flyers and told them to get
another hurler. That's when
Thomas was hired from Moorefield.
And Thomas didn't do too badly.
At least he managed to. put the
team into the win column. But
the team was at a low ebb, and
there weren't enough wins to get,
into the playoffs. And it seems in
Goderich only a winning team will
draw crowds.. We guess it's the
same anywhere. So the people
stayed away from home games in
droves. And it's pretty hard to
pay expenses without" any gates.
Then the team was in the black

books of the other four teams and
the WOAA for not having filed a
$500 deposit as a guarantee that
they would complete the schedule.
Tbwn Council came to the rescue
on that score and put up the de-
posit. We assume now that the
schedule has been finished the de-
posit will be returned. All all,
it's been a pretty rough year for
the fastball boys, and could very
easily mark finis to the game here.,
Here's a note of interest to- the
kids who playedpee wee softball
during the summer. John Berry,
organizer of the league, telephoned
to say that all the youngsters .are
invited to a free swim this Satur-
day morning at the swimming pool.
The Lions Club, which sponsors the
league, is oinking the free dunking
possible. And the invitation ap-
plies also to the men who acted
as coaches, managers, umpires, and
performed other duties in connec-
tion with the league. The pee wee
schedule, by the way, will be )start-•.
ed once again"within a few.weeks,
John reported. He hopes to have
a .sked drawn up shortly, with
'games getting underway as soon
as possible after school opens.
Industrial softball semifinals are
in full swing. Gerrard's took a
one -game lead over Goderich Town-
ship on Tuesday night to start the
ball rolling In the other half"`of"
the playdowns, the Sheaffer Pen
crew is meeting the. Canadian Le-
gion nine. There should be some
pretty stiff competition in these
games, so drop down to Agricul-
tural Park and watch the boys
battle it out.
There are more good games
under the lights at the local dia-
mond during the coming 'Week.
Tonight, the champion Goderich
Dodgers' ladies team will go again-
st Hanover in the first game of a
best -of -seven series. Second game
has been tentatively, slated for here
next Monday night: Tomor-row
,night,' the Colborne Township
juvenile squad will he out to get•
revenge against. Wingham. Tlie
youngsters lost' a tough one by a
5-4 score in ' Wingham , Tuesday
night, so they'll be in there all the
way looking for a win.

Goderich Lions Midgets were

Dick MacDougal has always been.
"a character." .Jazz fans were the
first to get to know MacDougal..
from his work on popular music
shows. With the advent of tele-
vision, all this changed. His ap-
pearances as host on CBC's "Jazz
with Jackson" drew raves -.from TV
critics and producers. In Short
order he was booked as a regular
personality on CBC -TV's "Tableid."
His easy going, relaxed manner set
the pace for the show, and, with
Percy Saltzman and Elaine grand,
,it is easily Canadian television's
most popular show. MacDougal
hasn't forsaken jazz; he still carries
on, with "Jazz Unlimited" on the
CBC Dominon network.

ONE MAN'S MEAT
Joseph Lister Rutledge
As any good neighbor should, we
rejoice in mbst good fortune com-
ing to our friends beyond our in-
visible border. We -are happy
when they prospect. We are glad
of 'their growing strength, and sure
.of their determination to use it as
wisely aS they may. We should
'be foolish, however, to rejoice too
fully over a prosperity that 'came
in considerable measure from loss
to ourselves.
"Let us emphasize this point..4.In
'a recent statement Matthew Cliffe,
head of the U.S. Textile Export
Association, pointed met that for
their industry Canada was, by far,
the most important -export market.
It represents,' he pointed out, 25
to_.3.0 •,per cent of all their export
sales.
Mr. Guffe tells us graphically
what this means to the U.S. textile
industry. "Exports," he says, "en-
able the industry to operate its
equipment at a rate far in. excess
of the pre-war average, to pay the
highest wages in the world and,
at the same time furnish steady
to - overtime employment to half
a . million workers, and yield highly
satisfactory returns to thousands
of stockholders."
No amount of good will towards
Our neighbor can make us entirely
happy over this statement. The
exports of which we receive so
bountiful a share enable American
machines to operate at maximum
capacity, thus reducing costs and
lowering competitive prices. But
for us, whose machines must slow
down or stop, because there is so
much less demand for us to serve;
it means higher costs and. higher
prices and makes cothpetition for
the restricted market more diffi-
cult. This explains why we cannot
say of our industry that it pays
the highest wages in the world,
Where our neighbor tells of steady
or overtime work for half a million
workers, we have to report that n
the hundred thousand workers who
depend .on the, Canadian industry
thousands. are partially or totally
'Unemployed. We don't think 'that
many of the Canadian stockholders
in the industry would 'consider its
position very satisfactory.
Perhaps-, if government officials
were to ponder .Mr. Cuffe's words
NHL All -Stars Shade District Team
3-2 In Exhibition Softball Tilt Here
Gus Mortson's NHL All -Stars had
to keep their heads up all the way
toedge a Goderich district All-Star
team 3-2 before a large crowd here
at Agricultural Park last Friday
night in,' an exhibition game held
as part of the program of Goderich
Trade Fair.
The' game developed into pretty
well a pitchers' battle, with big'
Russ Johnson bearing down for
the locals and; Don Harris burning'
across the sidearm deliveries for
the the 1HLers. Russ struck out
nine and allowed four hits, while
Harris fanned seven and was nick-
ed also for four hits.
Dewsbury Homers
The hockey stars grabbed a lead
in the' fourth inning when Al Dews-
bury, a Goderich native, clouted
out an inside -the -fence home run
with the bases empty. The visitors
,threatened again in the sixth when
Dewsbury singled and reached sec-
ond.on an error, but there were two
out and the next batter, Sid Smith,
grounded out. .
There were two out in the eighth
when the puckchasers started to
hammer the ball again. Lewicki
reached first on a 'fielders' choice
when, the fat man of the team
"Turk" Broda, clouted out a triple
and turned it into a four -bagger
on a Goderich error.
In the ninth, Sid Smith, the first
man up, banged out a triple, `but
was left stranded ,at thud when
the next three men went down in
succession.
Big man at the bat for Goderich
was Alex McNeil, catcher for the
Port Elgin Pontiacs in the fastball
league, who clipped Harris for a
double in the -final frabe, Tommy
Wilson, who played shortstop, was
on first at the time and came racing
home. McNeil also went the . cir-
cuit, but the umps rulled the hit a
ground -rule double since the ball
bounced over the fence, and sent
McNeil back to second and Wilson
,to third.
Johnson flied out, bringing in
Wilson, and George Westlake did
the same to bring in McNeil. Jack
Evans got to first when hit by a
pitched ball, but was caught ping
to second when Westbrook bit .g
ground -ball to shortstop Cal
Gardner, to end the game.
Ken .,Miller, playing second base
for the locals, was the first batter
to get a hit off Harris when . he
banged out a nice single in the
second frame.
Al Dewsbury robbed ,Russ John-
son of what could have been oneof
the prettiest hits of the night in
the second inning when he came
racing in full tilt from centre field
to make a shoestring catch just
behind second. base.
