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.

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. ,Sc Wilma the Whip (left) and Hefty Helen are two of the six -member California Curies bail team wshieb will be playing the (odericb Firemen tonight (Wednesday) at Agricultnral s ark at 7:30 p.m. Proceeds will go toward the arena sound system.

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. UnderstandingVfitness Regularity is a must BY DOUG LAFRENIERE Lake Huron Zone Recreation Association's Fitness Service Co-indinator 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 F.I.T.T. guidelines. F.I.T.T. pertains to the proper Frequency, intensity, Time, _and Type. o ecc exs FREQUENCY - should be Three to five times per week.
