Bears claim top spot in slow -pitch league
BY BRUCE BARER
Last Wednesday night, Men's Slowpitch
League fans in Goderich were treated to
one of the best games of the season. Tied at
42 points each with one game to go, the
Goderich Bears and Port Albert Bulldogs
clashed for the third time this season.
Lajeunesse, pitching for the Bears, had
trouble finding the plate with his sky ball
as he gave up three walks m the top of the
first. With bases loaded, Ron Hodges
doubled to right centre and Gary
Nicholson singled. A double play finished
the inning but pot before Bulldogs had
scored three runs.
The Bears were shut down in the bottotn
of the first and with Brian Reeves taking
over the pitching chores for the Bears, the
score remained unchanged until the top of
the fourth. Jerry Rosendale led off with a
single followed by Brian Moody's two run
homer. Brian Good' scored before the end
of the inning to extend the Bulldog lead to
6-0.
The Bear bats finally got going as they
scored three in the fourth end one more in
the sixth to narrow the Bulldog lead to 6-4
goinginto:the bottom_ of the seventh.__.
Ed Mannering popped out to put tht
Bulldogs two outs away from victory but
the Bears were back to the top of their
order. Dave Graff and Ron Ritchie each
singled to put the winning run at the plate.
Brian Thompson, on a full count, smashed
a single but a costly wildthrow to the plate
allowed two- Bears to score, and left
Thompson on third. With only one out, a
long fly would score the.winning run. Well,
Dan Duncan hit a long fly alright. He put it
over everyone's heads for a two run homer
that sealed the victory and the "A"
Division trophy for the Bears.
Whether the Bears won or Bulldo, : lost,
it is not important. Both teams put on a
fine show with the real winners being the
spectators and the game of slowpitch it-
self.
This past Sunday featured a couple of
surprises in the 'B" Division elimination
round .consisting of Champco, Local 1863
and Bluewater in a four inning round robin
showdown. Local 1863 played sound
defensive ball, dropping Bluewater 4 to 2
and Champco 6 to 2 to take over seventh
place. Champco and Bluewater, tied at the
end of regulation, went two innings
overtime before Bluewater scored three
runs to secure a 5 to 2 victory and eighth
place.

nited B team moves up the ladder
BY FRED SCHOEMAKER
• The Goderich� United B soccer team
continued to mdye up the ladder in the
third division by
I-1/4e
Port Elgin 1-0 on •
Sunday. -
It was a hot, humid day and the ground
was rough. The game was always close up
and down the field with superb goalten-
ding.
In the first half, Mark 'Speedo' Frayne
raced for the ball. The goalie came out and
challenged him by trying to clear the ball
by heading It. However, the ball came
down and before it could touch the ground,
Mark stamped it into the net with two
minutes left.
In the second half, defence tightened up
and goaltending was outstanding right to
the final whistle.
Honorable mention goes to Paul Helesic,
the Bs' one goalie and to Mark Frayne who
has an average one goal per game.
A week ago, thets lost 3-2 to Chatham
Portugese. It wasn't a good game for the
Bs. Goals were scored by Eric Mitchell
and Mike 'Woody' Wedlock.
The next game is Sunday, August 22 at 4
p.m. Come out and enjoy watching a new
and exciting B team.

Wilma the Whip, Hefty Helen, Patricia

you have seen them perform as the

The barn -storming ,Cuties will appear at
Agricultural Park here this evening,
Wednesday, August 18 at'7:39 p.m. when
they will meet - the host Goderich Firemen
team in a regulation softball -game with
lots -of comedy mixed in.
Sponsored by the Goderich Recreation
Department, the. wildly attired California
club. promises you a...full" evening's 'en
tertainment, guaranteed to please every
Member of the family. Tickets at the gate
are $3 for adults and $2 for children.
Proceeds are for the sound room and
Soccer action
sound system at the Goderich arena.
The above named players are all top
athletes from the West Coast (except for
the pitcher, Wilma the Whip who hails
from Toronto) who don some of the
wierdest ladies' attire for the comedy end
of the show but will show you top flight
softballing at the same time.
The Cubes club is composed of only six
players. They have found that a six man
team allows for more comedy while still
not detracting from their ability to win, as
their last year's record indicates -103 wins
and two losses.
The host Goderich Firemen club will pit
their nine man team against the visiting
six: ManagerBill-Beacom insists that the
past reputations of the Cuties - doesn't
worry them and they expect to win.
Why not go out to the ball game and see
for yourself tonight?
United `A' team loses
crucial game 2=1 Sunday
Goderich United 'A' team lost a crucial
soccer game on Sunday to San Bartolomeo
24.
United needed a victory in order to keep
pace with league leading Grand Bend.
However, they were still able to hold onto
second place because of losses suffered by
other contending teams.
United started out with great enthusiam
and hustle but they were unable to connect
on their passing plays and as a result, they
came up empty handed. A combination of
inspired play by San Bartolomeo and a
lapse by United enabled the opposing team
to pop in two quick goals. This was the first
time this year that United has allowed
more than one goal in a game and judging
by the players' reactions, they are
determined to make it the last.
United had several opportunities to
decrease their deficit before half time but
it was the familiar story of being unable to
put the ball into the net.
In the second half, most of the play
seemed to be concentrated in the mid -field
area with neither team getting many
serious ' scoring attempts. UMW -did
manage to get one goal back with 15
minutes remaining in the match. Randy
Little received a pass on the left wing and
made a move around the defencemen and
fired a shot into the near side of the net.
United tried desperately to get the
equalizer but time expired on the dejected
'A's.
With just one game into the second half
of the schedule being played, it looks like
it's going to be a battle for the remainder
of the season as several teams are only
separated by a few points. United is now in
a must win situation if they expect to win
their division. With seven games
remaining and every team capable of a
victory, the final standings may not be
decided upon until the last game.
Fan participation is essential in getting
a team motivated, so come out and support
United on Sunday, August 22 at 6 p.m. in
Goderich when they take on Calabria, an
Italian team from London.

Regularity is a must
BY DOUG LAFRENIERE

It takes less effort to MAINTAIN an
adequate .level of aerobic fitness than to
OBTAIN that same level. Regularity m the
performance of physical training is a must
in both instances. It is possible through a
rather intense, controlled training
program to aquire a reasonable level of
aerobic fitness in just one month.
However, this level of fitness would be
rapidly lost if training was discontinued.
With intense training the average,
inactiveindividual could increase their
level of aerobic fitness by as much as 35
percent. Regularly active persons,
depending on their current le 'el of fitness,
could increase aerobic fitness by ap-
proximately 10 to 20 percent. in both in-
stances, training would have to followethe
