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. '"GMSL" Standings to May 17 Team G W L 'I F A Pt 1.

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.
