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.

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.

adultlessons which go two days a
week all summer.
There is also lots of room for
the August session of swim
lessons.

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. • •

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.
