Both teams will donnig white uniforms and swinging flat cricket bats all in fun, to celebrate Ontario's Bicentennial. According to Bayfield Bicentennial organizer, . Helen Owen, both teams have been hard at work practising the unfamiliar 'sport to achieve the game's object which is to score runs when at bat and to put out or dismiss the opposing 'batsmen when in the field. The game is played with a bat and ball on a large field known as a ground, between two -teams of 11 players. Each side has two innings, normally taken alternately. The matches are played for a predetermined length of time and often two days or more are required to finish (a team at bat may accumulate as many as 300 to 400 runs before the opposing team can retire all, players). International or test matches between national teams of selected players last at least five days or a minimum of 30 hours. Cricket ranks as the national sport of England, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa :and the West Indies and is a prominent sport in India, Pakistan and Ceylon, The oorlgin of cricket is unknown .but experts say it probably derived from the old English word, "cryce", meaning stick, and in fts rude form, It is said to resemble a 13th century game known as club -ball. It evolved in England during the 18th century, mainly because of the 'interest of great land owners' who tried their skills on the field of play with their tenants and local peasantry. The first international or test match, between players chosen for their abililty to play well, was in Melbourne in 1877. A team made up of Australia's finest players beat the team of England's best in 45 runs. Australia's success was repeated in 1882 and London's Sporting Times reported an obituary announcing that cricket would be cremated and ashes would be sent to Australia. This gave birth to the legend of "playing for the ashes" which became the popular objective in games between England arid Australia. Goderich Bridge Club scores Cathy McDonald directed a 10 table Mitchell game at the Goderich Duplicate Bridge Club on June 19. The average was 108 points: Mary Phillips and Frank Laverty won the North-South division with 139.5 points. In second place were Helen Tench and John Wood with 127.5. 'Louise Hetherington and Cathy McDonald finished third with 121.5 and fourth place went to Theresa Donatis and Arlene Gibbons with 115.5 points. East-West division was won by Mary Donnelly and Eleanor Erskine with 128 points. Joanne Duckworth and Lee Ryan were second with 125.5 and Sandy Turvill and Randy Piirainen placed third with 119. Evie McDonagh and Edna Overholt took fourth place with 114 points. Today, the ashes are kept in an urn , t Loa'd's in England: They are the remnants of a stump that was burnejI on an English tour of Australia in li 13. Margaret Chapman, Bayfield PottOry Club member, has been chosen to make�he tournament cup for the Bayfield match. The cup will be fired in a kiln and eventually, ' `token" ashes will be placed inside and the trophy will be awarded to the champions. London's CFPL-TV or Team 10 decided to accept the Bayfield Bounders cricket team's challenge because, "the offer was so out of the ordinary." said Glen Fuller, Team 10 promotional director. Mr. Fuller said he is trying to get as many "on air" personalities as possible. Though no one has fully committed themselves yet, people like Eric Sorenson, Jay Campbell, and Pete Kearns have tentatively signed up for the event. "We are also hoping to get some of the girls to sign up," added Mr. Fuller. Next week, Team 10 will swing their bats, borrowed from Western. University, for the first time. They will be holding their first practiq' nntsiriv the telvvrisinin ,tntinn nnri Glen Fuller joked that there will be a lot of people standing around ' with "dumb expressions on their faces." CFPL will be advertising the event on the Community Calender segment of the station's broadcast and Mr. Fuller said he was sure some of the personalities who will be playing, will mention the match on the air. One Team 10 cricket member is also a member of the famed Morris Dancers. He has decided to offer the dancers' services for a special intermission 'program and HelOwen is trying to convince the Victo Order of Nurses, who will be there for any ergencies, to dress in Edwardian nurses' uniforms. To date, they are still trying to find the costumes. Team 10 participate fn various events throughout the year, which include baseball games and hockey tournaments. Mr. Fuller said the challenges are met on a voluntary basis and the station actually has a budget set aside to account for the matches. "The most important thing to remember is that the match is a fun thing," said Mr. Fuller.
