Slo pitch season underway
The seventh official season
of slo-pitch got off to a great
start this week, thanks, m
part, to the weatherman.
This year we will see 17
teams each playing 24
games in a two divisional
league. Each team will play
their own division twice and
the other division once in
their fight for the divisional
trophy.
This year's slo-pitch ex-
ecutive consists off Dave
(Pierre) Cloet in his second
year as president, Bob Cor-
nish, past president and Ian
Scott the treasurer. This
year's secretary is big bad
bear . Ed Mannering, Don
Johnston is the tournament
chairman, Bruce Baker the
scheduling chairman and
Tim Frawley is our new um-
pire in chief. On behalf of the
executive, I would like to ex-
tend our thanks to all team
reps for ensuring the suc-
cessful start to our 1982 ver-
sion of slo-pitch in Goderich.
Now for a quick update on
the team changes since last
year. Four teams, Selinger
Wood, Signal -Star, Firemen
and the Wheelsmen have
dropped out. Smiths` Carpet-
baggers are now under the
sponsorhsip of Goderich
Elevators. Cedar Lodge is a
new addition to our league.
Meneset, although a familiar
name in slo-pitch has enough
new faces to qualify as a new
team, as do the Coyotes. The
Bears and Goderich
Restaurant, although not
new to s10 -pitch, are under
new names.
The .talk of the league so
far seems to centre around
the Bears, a recently formed
collection of good gloves and
super bats. Well, it's not just
talk; this week they picked
up three wins in convincing
fashion; 20 to 1 over Garb &
Gear, 20 to 6 over Carlow and
24 to 0 over the Oldtimers.
This is a team that should
make our town known in slo-
pitch circles. We wish you
the best, but beware, the
Restaurant and Bulldogs are
out to beat you: Speaking of
the Bulldogs, they defeated
Coyotes 23 to 9 and edged the
Optimists 10 to 7 while the
Goderich Restaurant came
back to drop Optimists 10-7.
Then later in the week
defeated Coyotes 18 to 3.
Carlow and Oldtimers each
Goderich men's slo-pitch tournament league standings.
picked up a win against Garb
& Gear with scores of 21 to 8
and 13.to 7 respectively.
In B division play, Cobras
tikrasheci .Champco 21 to 3
and Tickers defeated local
1863, 19 to 7. Goderich
Elevators defeated Champ -
co 23 to 1 and tied the
Renegades 4 to 4. Meneset,
in their only game of the
week dumped Bluewater 21
to 6 and in what I hear was a
grudge match, Bluewater
came out on top of a close 5
to 3 decision ,over Cedar
• Lodge:
Each Week in the Signal -
Star from now until
September, you will be able
to read the scores, study the
standings; and perhaps find
a picture of yourself making
that game saving catch.
