rin first
By Brewster
The first week of the second decade of
men's slowpitch in town is now history. We
had everything that a scheduling chair-
man could possibly dream of 1 in his worst
nightmare! 1 Rain, power black -out, fog, 2
game forfeitures, one protest and re-
schedules. We also had some fine ball
played as 19 of the 20 games were com-
pleted. Lets take a look at the score board'..
On top, we find three unlikely teams all
posting an identical 2 and 0 record. George
Sutton, Non Klages and Frank MacDonald
all went 4 for 4 to lead the way as Suncoast
Restaurant and Tavern coralled the
Lakeview Ranchers 17-4. Earlier in the
week they blanked the Cosmos, 6-0.
Home Hardware hammered Murphy's
Law 214 in five and lowered the elevators
16-7. The chiefs shot the BBs down 18-6 and
picked up a 15-0 forfeiture from ideal
supply.
Next we find the Port Albert Bulldogs
who edged the Park -hose by' a 7-4 score;.
and battled Goderich Chrysler to a 6-6
draw.
Lakeland drowned the Cosmos 22-1 but
were silenced by 'Thruway Muffler 15-7.
Suny's burned Sifto, 8-6. while Canadian
'Tire blew out Dearborn by a 13-6 margin.
This years teach to watch, Boyes
Transport, had Gators for, breakfast in a
16-0 thornping.
The. Coyotes guttered Little Bowl by a 5-3
margin while Ideal Supply shocked
Chisholm 'TV with a 15-2 whipping.
Shanahan's' Foodland, was welcomed to
our league with a 13-3 pounding from the
Elevators and a 9-1 loss to the BB's.
Chisholm TV also picked up a 15-0
forfeiture. over the C'oy'otes.'
By now you have read the very descrip-
n r v ry
of sw pith i }
live synonyms tor the worus defeated and
won. These were supplied by John
Smallwood and his Grade 9 English
classes at GDCI. Many thanks guys ( and
girls) for this worthy contribution. They
will' be use in the weeks to come.
In the st4ndings, you will note the col-
umns designated for runs scored for ands
against. This is a vital stat as ties at the
end of the season could be broken by run
differential. A game forfeiture results in a
15-0 loss ( mercy ).
The league picked up $40 in fines this.
week thanks to the incompetence of some
teams! That statement is probably a suffi-
cient kick in the rear for now!
Eligibility lists are due by May 31 and
the next league meeting is Monday June 3
at 9:00 p.rn. Each team should pick their
own MVP for the game and circle it on the
�fficial game sheets. This forms the basis
or our trophy winners at the fall banquet.
One final note to end this first weekly
write-up. We have 25 teams, close to 500
men, next to, no diamonds to work with as
yet and the executive is at their limit as far
as workload is concerned. Team reps
should ensure that their team is aware of
our constitution, including rain -out
policies. There are still a lot of grey areas
and we hope that our work channels are.
not plugged by petty'protests. Think about
what this league isall about and then, wait
24 hours. If you still feel the same way;
. then by all means, follow through. Our
league needs co-operation and that re-
quires logic, not emotion.
Now, do you want to know who will win
the 3 titles this year? ... No .., maybe next
week! Tune in for your GMSL weekly
update.

Hully Gully hoAs ATV racing
c
This weekend Holly (;Lilly hosts the 2nd
event of the three and four Wheel ATV Rac-
ing Series.
ATV racing has become a very popular
sporting event over the last couple of years
with record numbers of entries. Up to 100
competitors could c'hallenge•the course in
one afternoon, making for very competative
and action packed racing. The four -wheelers
have become even more popular than the
three-wheelers because of their stability off
jumps and high power on straight-aways.
However, thi' three Wheel ATV racers can
certainly give the four Wheelers a run for
the money.
• ATV Racing is fun for the entire family to
watch. 1,oca1 riders Terry McGregor of Kip -
pen, Curtis Mc('one of Clinton and Paul Far-
quhar also from Clinton will be out in full
force to take on heavy competitors on their
home track.
Cone nut and enjoy some exciting race
action at the Hully Gully track Sunday, May
24. Racing begins at noon.
For the fourth year. Holly Gully will be the
site of a major Canadian National -level
event. The official Canadian Motocross
Sanctioning body awarded Holly Gully the
1st round of the Expert series to be held on
June 20th and 21st.
Expert riders, the most skilled of all
rnotocrossers, will be coming from all over
Canada to compete for a part of the $7,500.00
purse. Canada's top and now world-class
racer, Ross Pederson will be defending his
No. 1 position against the best of the rest.
,Hully Gully' will be hosting the very corn-
•. petative 125 & 250 Expert classes - the two
:classes that generate some of the most ex-
citing action. In both classes rider skill and
stamina are what determines the winner
rather than raw horsepower. "
The Hully Gully facility is no stranger to
National level competition, having won the
CMA's highest award, the Organizaer's
Award in 1982. Since then they have hosted
three National events proving their exper-
tise in promotion.
The 1987 Expert Natio* Championships
begin on Saturday, June 26'with the Support
Classes and continue on to Sunday with the
Pro Classes. This year's event promises to
he one of Canada's best races!
