Way to go Pete!!
This sporting year has been interesting.
Ivan Lendl defeated John McEnroe to
capture the U.S. Open men's single tennis
championship, the Toronto Blue Jays are
tough baseball competitors and girls are
fighting for the chance to play hockey along
side boys.
But 1985 will go down in history as the year
Pete Rose broke Ty , Cobb's 57 -year-old
career baseball hits record of 4,191.
Rose kept his Cincinnati Reds fans in
suspense, tying the record on September 8
and missing a chance to break it in the ninth
inning. Two days later, Rose went 0 for 4
against the Padres after sitting out the
game the day before.
Rose's inability to break the record
immediately, has been profitable for
Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium. The game
which Rose sat out drew 29,289 spectators,
approximately 6,000 more than the club
averaged during the year. The September 10
game was the first sellout (52,392) since
opening day.
The suspense was broken during the first

inning of the Reds -Padre game on
September 11 when Rose hit a single off Eric
Show.
And no one can say that crowds don't
appreciate a star. It was a good five to eight
minutes before the cheering and
celebrations in Cincinnati subsided and
Rose and the other players could get back to
playing, what will be, one of the most
memorable games in the 1985 baseball
season.
However, the manager -first baseman did
not stop there. In the seventh inning, Rose
made hit number 4,193 - and it wasn't a
single, but a triple.
By Anna Narejko
As far back as 1 can remember, Pete Rose
has been the epitome of baseball. He has
always been good at bat, good on the field
'and he has a strong • character. But most
• importantly, he was (and still is) said to be a
hard worker.
In this day and age, where drugs and
sports seem to be used in the same sentence
too frequently, today's youth need a man
like Pete Rose to look up to.
I may not have followed his career as
closely as some have, but I do know that
Rose is an honest, down-to-earth baseball
player. He has to be to surpass a 57 -year-old
record. Way to go Pete!
Recreation, horsemen reach agreement
CLINTON - Councillor Jim Hunter and
Clinton Recreation Committee Chairman
Ron , McKay met with horsemen
representatives Clarence Denomme and
Case Buffinga to set rules for the use of the
track -community park area.
"It was a good meeting," commented Mr.
McKay and Councillor Hunter added, "Our
ideas meshed very closely." •
The two hour meeting produced several
ideas and some recommendations which
will be presented to council.
Clinton Recreation Committee passed a
motion at their September meeting, asking
council to consider setting appropriate
bylaws •so• signs can be erected at the track.
One of the signs will disallow bicycles on the
track and another will instruct pedestrians
to stay to the outside of the track . when
walking around it. A third sign will not allow
horses on the track between 8 p.m. and 6
a.m.
"The children don't look before crossing
the track," said Councillor Hunter when
explaining why he felt bicycles shouldn't be
allowed on the track.
He also explained the 8 p.m. cut off for
horses on the track would allow those who
work a chance to take their horses out.
Guidelines as to when and where the
horsemen can work their horses while
games and' tournaments are on were also
set. '
"The training type of mile will not be
allowed on the track while a game is on, only
jogging. When they are doing the training
mile, the horse can't stop as quickly," he
explained.
When a tournament is'. held. thwrigto'nnr!

Toronto Oldtimers
Hockey Game •
Attention hockey fans! The Clinton
Recreation committee in conjunction with
time is to be posted at the race secretary's
office and barricades are to be placed on the
arena -grandstand side of the track, allowing
the horsemen to use only the far side of the
track.
Access to the track will also be controlled.
The double gates will be locked and a single
baffle gate ( one fence placed in front of the
opening, forcing the person to turn a corner)
placed an equal distance between the two
diamonds. The gate •that was formerly by
the pool will be re -opened.
The horsemen. brought the parking of
buses to the recreation representatives'
attention. Because the buses are heavy and
the ground soft during the winter, soft spots
are created on the track. To solve this
problem,parking for buses only will be
provided in front of the grandstand.

Again, race secretary Ian Fleming put
together a brilliant card, featuring the Bat-
tle of the Sexes, with, four of North -
Arrierica's top women drivers slated to.fight
a running battle with local dash champions
Fred Sadler, Ross Battin, Johnny Muir and
Ray McLean over eight races.
However, the men vs. women concept had
to be scrapped when Lona -Jean McLeod suf-
. fered a 'broken collar bone in a spill at
Toledo, Ohio aturday night, leaving her
drives at Clintbnt open for catches. However,
the battle went on regardless, with every
man (and woman) for him (her) self, .as
Karen Fekete, Cindy Horner and. Laurie
McNeight carried the distaff banner into the
fray against the male stalwarts.
And right up until the last race of the con-
test, it looked as if the ladies would place
both first and second in the contest, with •
Karen ahead with 140 points, and Laurie in
second with. 120. However, local hero Ross
Battin stepped in to save face (and the day
for the men, winning the tenth race with
Mayfair Flo for a total score. of 162 points.
John and David Anstett of Anstett
Jewellers were on hand to present watches
