My over-all record now stands at 8-4. Simply no contest in Saskatchwan as was predicted. The Roughies defense stunk and Joe Barnes came off the bench for the second week in a row to give the Argos a 40-21 win. When I suggested Warren Moon would terrorize the Ottawa defense, I had no idea he would do it to the tune of 44-4. There's no doubt about it, Ottawa's young secondary is a problem area for George Brancato and crew. The B.C. Lions appear to be rounding into top form after beating the Hamilton Ticats, in the Steel City, 34- 20. If the Lions can continue to play as they have in their last two outings, they will be in this year's Grey Cup. The Calgary Stampeders and the Montreal Con: cordes provided little entertainment in their game, which was one by the Stamps 42-10. The Cords offense were terrible. Again if the team wins five games, I'II be shocked. This week Rod's Report on Sports goes on record with the following CFL predictions: Saskatchewan at Edmonton Edmonton is putting to rest any thoughts that the team is overaged and heading out to pasture. Saskatchwan is on a skid that isn't going to end in Edmonton. The Moon will rise over the Roughies defense. Eskies by 14 Hamilton at Toronto There's no love lost between these two eastern division rivals. Even though the Ticats are out -classed in this match, they should provide good opposition. If Holloway is unable to start, Barnes may not be able to do the job. Holloway's injured hand could hurt the Argos. This would be a perfect time for a Hamilton upset, but I doubt it. Argos by seven Winnipeg at 1(Iontreal The Concordes need sometting dramatic to happen to their offense. ( Perhaps wholesale trades?) Outside of running back Lester Brown, the threat to score is minimal. Winnipeg has been playing well of late and judging soley by a glance at the lineups, should win easily. Montreal's home field advantage will give them a boost but will it be enough? Winnipeg by' 10 Calgary at B.C. Although the standings indicate there's a four way tie for first place in the west Calgary won't be there long. B.C. will knock the Stamps off the latter easily. Despite the fact Calgary shoved they could put points on the board against the Ccds (42), they won't do much against B.C's big D. Lo CVs Dewalt and Paopao to have a field day against the "tamps.

Protect ears on the farm Many people on the tarm suffer hearing losses from the noise generated by equipment such as tractors, harvesters, grinders, chop- pers, blowers, conveyors, chain saws, power mowers and snowmobiles. Consult your Department of Agriculture representative with regard to noise levels on your farm and appropriate ear protection. The two basic types of ear protection are the insert and the muff. The insert type is placed in the ear canal and is made of runoei , p *si►c, wax or special cotton -like fibers such as "Swedish wool". Good personal hygiene is required when using insert type ear protection. Muff or cup type devices cover the external ear to provide an acoustic barrier. In some situations, they may offer better protection than in- serts. Hearing protection devices should have the label of the Canadian Standards Association.

On July 27, the Clinton Fleming -Colts locked horns with the Walkerton Barons and walked away with a 7-2 home -turf victory. The game featured very little hitting as the Colts had six hits compared to seven for the Barons. Clinton charged out to a 2-0 lead in the second inning. Hans Leppington ignited the Colts' fire when he led off the inning with a walk. After ing - C John Hart flied out to left field, Del Mitchelmore jumped on the first pitch from the Barons' pitcher for a single to left field. Dave Bartliff then flied out and the bases were loaded when Dave Patterson was hit by a pitch. Starting pitcher Scott MacDonald helped his own cause by hitting a bloop single to right field scoring both Leppington and Mit- chelmore. The Barons crept back to within one run in the fourth inning when Thompson beat out a slow roller to short. Stojanov followed with a its tra single on a hit and run play advancing Thompson to third base. Ried followed with another infield single to score Thompson. Walks haunted the Barons again in fourth inning when a free pass was issued to Dave Bartliff. Bartliff turned on the jets to steal second and scored when Ron Wells singled to centre field. The fifth inning marked to comeback of pitcher Mike Wildgen, who came on the relieve Scott MacDonald. The Barons' Pritchard singled off Wildgen and advanced to second on a ple sacrifice by Jacklin. A walk to Dobson and a single scored Pritchard, closing the gap to 3-2 for Clinton. In the fifth inning, Hans Leppington was issued his second walk of the night to start a Colts' rally. Prior to Leppingtiln's trip to the plate he quipped, "You could have a smoke while you're waiting for the ball to reach the plate." Leppington was speaking of the Baron pit- cher's style, which was to throw mainly slow curve balls, frustrating Clinton batters throughout the game. John Hart was CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1983 -PAGE 7 alkert awarded first base on the next play as the Walkerton catcher was nabbed for interference on Hart's bat. Leppington showed the fans he possesses some speed as he strided to third base when the Barons' catcher mishandled a pitch. He then scored on a fielder's choice by Del Mitchelmore. The sixth inning saw Walkerton introduce a new pitcher to the Clinton batting order. Patterson walked to • begin the inning and was advanced to second on a single by Mike Wildgen. Patterson went to third on a Bar ns passed ball and scored on Greg Burns' single up the middle. Burns advanced to second on the play as the Barons' shortstop threw the ball away. Hans Leppington finally got a pitch that was in the strike zone and he drilled it down the first base line, scoring both Wildgen and Burns. The Barons started a rally in the seventh inning but it was cut, short when Colts' catcher Butch Fleet nailed base runner Pritchard trying to steal second. Walkerton went down in order after that giving Clinton a 7-2 victory. Scott MacDonald picked up the win for Clinton and Mike Wildgen got the save. Dugout Dust Clinton's game in Strathroy on Sunday was postponed because the Colts didn't have enough players. This Friday night the Colts play at home against Kin- cardine. The game is a four - pointer and concludes regular season play. Blazing Shot wins $1,000 Preferred Pace at Clinton By Lois Gibbings Jerry H. Direct won the $1,000 Molsons Preferred Pace at Goderich Raceway on July 28, timed in 2.05.1, with his owner Fred Maguire of Ailsa Craig on the bike. Raised by Fred ( Pete) Fowler near Londesboro, the chestnut gelding by Scamp Direct - Sadie Bars by Vic- tory Bars was winning his second in a row at Goderich, giving him a (5-8-5) standing from 30 starts in 1983, good for earnings of $9,274. Greg Campbell of London finished second with his Lit, tie Drummer Boy. Handy Slipper, a three- year-old gelding by Fast Clip - Scarlet Slipper by Scarlet Wave, won his fourth of the year from five lifetime starts, with a 2.07.3 mile in the sixth, for trainer -driver Carl Fisher and his brother Grant of Goderich. Ross Battin drove U.W. Dalrae home second for Clif- ton Walsh of Brussels, while John Muir was third with Silver Plus Tax for D.J. Mor- rissey of Ailsa Craig and P.C. Oud of Kippen, followed by Ted McLean with Deep Run Super and Fred Sadler with R. Toplady for Kevin Carter of Blyth. Tammy Watt won the first with G.G. Greentree, but was disqualified and placed seventh because her horse had made a break on the first turn, causing R.J. Misty to break also and finish last. As a result all the other pacers were moved ahead, with Noble Amy getting her first win of the year from 16 starts for Koop De Groot of Goderich with John Lester up for trainer Gord Kerr. Randy Henry was third with Arrochar Ruth for Ar- nold Doak of Goderich. Miss Janes Rip, owned by Harry Kerr of Goderich, took a new 2.09.3 record with Ross Battin driving in the se- cond.

The four-year-old mare by Flying Eagle -.Sharon Glen- doro by Sparkle Way, has also been third three times. Verdun and Lois Vanstone's Benmiller Pete was second after a speedy recovery following a break. Although Poplar Lynn was on the outside for most of the mile she still managed to Midgets earn two victories 12 - 3 is the record of the Clinton Midgets after two more hard-earned victories. The two wins were both due to hard work in the later inn- ings that produced rallies. On Sunday, Clinton blasted Dashwood 28 - 13 and follow- ed on Monday with a 19 - 7 hammering of Exeter. Clin- ton used a balanced team hitting attack. Clinton opened the first in- ning against Dashwood with Danny Horton and Randy Keyes walking with the bases loaded for a 2 - 0 lead. Dashwood came back to tie the score after their first at bat. The fourth and fifth inn- ings brought nine more runs for Dashwood and just four for Clinton, moving the score to 13 - 6. Dashwood had counted a run in each of the second and third innings. Needing at least seven runs in two innings, Clinton faced a difficult task. However, the Midgets pro- ceeded to score exactly seven times in the sixth while holding Dashwood scoreless. The tiring Dashwood pitching col- lapsed in the seventh inning as Clinton exploded for 15 unanswered runs. The final score was 28 - 13. Although the final margin was large, Dashwood again played a strong game against Clinton. The balanced hitting at- tack was led by Dean Cart- wright who had five hits and four RBI's. Other key hitters were Rob Dupee, Wayne Smith, Kevin Lee. Randy Keyes, George Coventry and Keith Hurman. Clinton used three pitchers with Randy Keyes finishing the game to earn the win. The scene was much the same against Exeter on Monday as Clinton fell behind 7 - 1 after four inn- ings. Although Clinton loaded the bases in the first inning they managed only a single run on Danny Horton's RBI ground out that scored Dean Cartwright. Exeter started strongly behind effective pitching and hard hitting to rack up their six -run lead after the fourth. Clinton fielded poorly and batted weakly as they got off to a slow start. Randy Keyes relieved Kevin,, Lee and allowed only one hit and a single run after the second inning. However, the damage was done in the initial innings leaving Clin- ton in another come from behind situation. The Midgets finally got un- tracked in the fifth inning as they responded with 12 runs. Clinton used six hits, five er- rors, and four walks in sen- ding 16 batters to the plate to take a 13 - 7 advantage. Six more runs in the sixth increased the total to 19 - 7. - The Clinton offense was again well balanced. Kevin Lee and Dean Cartwright had three hits each. Randy'T Keyes increased his record to 9 - 2. Clinton's 12.- 3 record puts them in good position with three games left in the regular season.
