Baseball started in North America and is much like the British game cricket. There are some interesting facts about baseball. Why don't you Surprise your friends with these unusual pieces of information. 1.The person who has made more home runs in the world than anyone else is Hank Aaron. During his playing career he made 745 home runs which is a major league record. How many home runs iave you made? 2.Evar Swanson ran around all the bases in 13.3 seconds in 1932. That's fast! 3.The fastest pitcher in the world is L. Nolan Ryan. He can pitch a ball at over 100 mph. Nobody calls him a rubber -arm. 4.On June 26, :1976, Toby Harrah played a. whole game at short stop and did absolutely nothing. The ball never came his way. 5.Ron Hunt has been hit by more than 243 pitched balls. You'd think he'd learn to step out of the way. 6.Joe Nuxhall was the youngest person to ever become a major league player. He was just 15 years old when he became a pitcher for Cincinnati. 7.William Hamilton stole more bases than anyone else in his lifetime. He managed"to sneak 937 bases! Now that it's spring time you can start practising to set some new world records.

( Tom McMahon photo) Michig..:.irLan convicte murder m s. e Gene Woodward, 29, the former husband of a woman whose body was found in Ashfield Township last year, was convicted of second-degree murder in circuit court in Saginaw, Michigan last week. The conviction followed a three-week jury trial that began April -7 and Judge Joseph R. MacDonald will hand down a sentence at a later date. Investigating officer, Constable Gary Martin of the Goderich detachment of the OPP, was sent to the trial that in- cluded witnesses from Ontario, Michigan, New York, Texas and Arizona. The Goderich OPP began the murder investigation last year after the partially burned body of a woman was found on Horizon View Road in Ashfield Township, 25 kilometres north of Goderich. The body was lying near the roots of an overturned tree, just one kilometre off Highway 21. Police had few leads to work on except a set of wed- ding rings found near the body and although the re- mains were partially burned, a composite sketch of the woman's face was produced and released for possible identification. The rungs were eventually traced to the manufac- tur..r inAkron, OW with a market area that included Ohio, Kentucky, Maryland anti West Virginia. The sale of the rings was then traced to a jewelry store in Saginaw and the victim was identified as Kimberly Jean Woodward, 24, of Carollton , Michigan near Saginaw. Mrs. Woodward had been reported missing - timists — oratorical contest On April 23rd, the Clinton Optimists held their annual Oratorical Contest at St. Paul's Church.
