July 6, 1977 h�m BP fastballers y up two more. wins Wtnglloln's 13.P fastballers proved they are firmly back on -thB winning, track, chalking up Wins aver Clifford and Ripley last week. During the game in Ripley Thursday night, the team put to- gether 21 hits, including home runs by Bruce Stoll, Grant Coul- tes and Keith Elston, to score 13 runs. Ripley scored seven runs on five hits. The cool, damp night appeared to inspire the hitters, but it also contributed to errors in fielding. Six errors were charged against Wingham and four against Rip- ley. Starting pitcher Brian Coultes had some hard luck On the mound, partly caused by the errors, with Ripley scoring its seven runs on only four hits off him. He was relieved in the seventh inning by Don Edgar, who allowed one bit and no runs. Earlier in the week, Don had one of his best games of the sea- son when he shut out Clifford Tuesday night. He recorded 17 strikeouts during the game, allowing only four hits. The BPs put together six hits and one Clifford error for six runs. If the team keeps the bats hot and maintains its tight defence, it should finish well this season. Home games are Tuesday nights at 9 p.m. Wingham slow pitch league SCORES TIIIS WEEK JUNE 27: Turnberry Tavern 18, Western Foundry 1, Teachers 19, Burke -McLeod 9.

Recreation Report By Jim Ward As I write this we have just completed our first day of in- struction at the pool and a full round of activities at the play- ground. Registrations are • up in num- bers for both programs. A total of 207 have registered in the July program at the pool,' an increase Queens suffer first loss• • The Wingham Brophy Queens midget ladies' team suffered its first loss of the' season with a 6-4 defeat at the ha ids •of their Han- over counterparts. The game was. played Sunday at Wingham and the loss stopped their winning streak • at five games. Anne Balser broke out of her batting slump dubbinga long home run and a triple, to lead the Wingham team in batting. Lynne Bridge also hit well\ with a triple and a single. Patty Brophy kept up her consistent hitting with two singles. Esther Nethery went the entire game on the mound collecting three strike -outs, while pitching a strong game. The game was well played•and very close. Wingham had the tying run at bat in the bottom of the seventh only to be foiled by a very effective Hanover pitcher. The team has been playing well, improving with every start. Next home game is this Sunday night at seven with Belmore visiting the local park. 'This promises to be another real thril- ler. The Wingham team thanks their, supporters for their loyal attendance at home games. of 31 over last year. We also expect more registrations in the "parent and tot" classes and in adult classes, as these classes start. , 0-0-0 ' FUN IN THE SUN The •playground program has really taken off this summer. There are over 50 registered in the program. If the enthusiasm of the first day iss any indication the youngsters will have a happy summer, full of fun in the sun. 0-0-0 POOL REGISTRATION There is very little room for further registration at the pool for the July course. Thereis room for four sharks, four juniors, seven intermediates, onesenior and four bronze. There is lots .of • room for "parents' and tots' classes" and adultlessons which go two days a week all summer. There is also lots of room for the August session of swim lessons. 0-0-0 FUN IN THE SUN REGISTRATION The playground program is packed now so there is no more room. However, in August, there will be three weeks of day camp- ing in which we still have room for those eight and over. Last year we went for only one week and this year three weeks have been planned. So keep that in mind for August for eight to 13 year olds. • • Inuvik, located 1,200 miles north of Edmonton, is the major commercial, transportation and communication centre in Cana- da's western arctic.

Shuffleboard league planned The Wroxeter Parks Board is looking for people interested in forming a shuffleboard league. The board last year built two regulation size shuffleboard courts in the new park and has purchased some equipment. Anyone is welcome to par- ticipate and there could be an afternoon league, night league or both. Those interested should call 335-3103 and leave their names and numbers. Drowning claims surprise victims The Canada Safety Council estimates that half of the recrea- tional drowning victims in Canada last year had no intention of going into the water. Either they were inrplved in a boat sink- ing or they slipped, tripped or fell into the water. Most of these victims were not wearing a lifesaving device, nor was one handy. Since they were not planning on going into the water, why bother with one? Some 1,200 persons drown each year in Canada. These are lives which could have been saved had a lifesaving device been worn. The law requires that every recreational vessel carry a Transport Canada approved life saving device for every person aboard. But only you can make sure you don't become a "sur- prise victim". Check house before holidays With summer weather fast ap- proaching, it is a good' idea to keep certainthings in mind before you leave on your holi- days. The. Wingham Police Department suggests the follow- ing house checks. Before „leaving on holidays, stop deliveries of milk, papers, etc. Ask your neighbors to re- move advertisements and flyers that land on your door step. Be sure all heating units are "off" and unplug all electrical appliances. Make sure all doors and windows are locked. It is a good idea to leave a key with a neighbor and to notify your , local police department, so they can keep an eye on the house while you are away. /1- i> Meanwhile® 4K )/ Back on the Couch I A Comedy in 3 Acts By Jack Sharkey Presented by WINGHAM TOWNE PLAYERS At The Wingham Town Hall 8:30 P.M.
