Zurich Citizens News, 1965-07-22, Page 8NO E EIGHT ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS THURSDAY, .IULIY 22, 1965 O'er Sports by Angus "Red" McIntosh The Zurich MAA boys soft- 'ea11 program is in it's second week with lots of runs being scored, However, it seems that some of the players don't want to play very often. Thursday night one manager hacl to run around to ea couple of his players' homes and get them to make up a full team. This caused the game to be late starting and if it happens too often something will have to be done to put a stop to that kind of action. If the youths in Zurich want to keep the minor ball going they will have to give a bit more effort than some of them are ;doing now. A lot of adults are spending their time helping these youngsters with their sports program and are getting nothing. except the satisfaction of knowing that they are help- ing the young people do some- thing they like. 'We urge every parent who has a member of their family playing minor softball to see :hat their youngster is to every game possible and to be there on time. One thing that we have seen happen during the minor ball games is older players trying to hog the play from some of the younger and smaller play- t ers. More than once an in- fielder has been trying to make! a play at another player's base instead of letting him do the job himself. 'We asked one: player why they were doing :his and he replied. they make so many errors and if we don't May their position and our own as well, we are going to Iose' for sure." Yes. they probably will make a few errors but the bigger and more experienced players have made their share of errors, too, so why don't they just cover up for their team-mate like they should and let him have a chance to make the play. a He never will be able to improve if he don't get his chance and this is the main reason the Zurich MAA has set up this program. Some of the boys complained that the umpiring was not good the other night. Every umpire, like every player, will make mistakes. People say that they are not supposed to make mis- takes but they do and it is un- derstanable for several reasons. First, these local umpires are not trained to do the job. They won't be familiar with all the rules because this job is rela- , WEED INSURANCE Some lures are designed to be lost. At least It seems that way when working stretches of water that are both filled with . fieh lend . choked with •submerged brush. When snags threaten your arsenal of tackle, it's time to make some changes. Here's a tip from the Mercury outboard people that will turn the con- ventional plug into .a dandy weedless. Obtain a supply of the appro- priate size treble hooks that come equipped with wire weed guards. These are then substi- tuted f e r the 'original hook s, converting a branoh.grabbing lure into. one whoseshielded barbs harmless= ly glance off most obstacles. FISHER . Although practical, this alter- ation may be frowned on. Some manufacturers claim the abtions of their lures are affected and the guard causes strikes to be missed. This may be true; but no plug is going to catch fish when it's firmly, imbedded in a log or trailing a length of vegetation. Obtaining hooks with weed guards may present some prob- lems, depending on the locality. if unavailable at local tackle shops, they can be procured through any of the mail order outfits that advertise in the ria-, tional outdoor magazines. It's also possible to purchase these hooks In buektail models. This extra decoration 1s par- ticularly effective 'when used With metal spoons. When your object is catching fish -- not weeds -- drra't svitoli lures, switch Jiooka. $ave$ a let of trouble. And remember the old elegaea &'bout 1lslsilag materle, life auags, hall.' 1 tively new to them. And they have to call a lot more plays than the players have to make, We often wonder how much different it would be for the plate umpire if the batter swung at every pitch and hit it to the same fielder every time. Then every time the fielder made an error, the um- pire stopped the game and start complaining to the fielder about the bad play he just made. He would soon stop complaining. The players better remember that the umpires are running the games and they don't have to put up with a lot of back talk. They have the authority to throw any complainer out of the game and they are going to start doing it. So take the hint boys, and watch what you say. The Zurich Kings are going to need some practice if they want to win a few ball games. They are at the botom of the league with a sickening record. They have had a few practices early in the year but did not have all .their players at them. Of the nine regulars only about five would show up for prac- tice. The guys who are not on the regular starting line-up have been fairly faithful by attend - int; the practices and also the games. However, some of the regulars are working at night and can't get out to practice but will take time off for a game. A team can't practice with half a team, and if about half the team can't practice. what can they do? Something has got to be done to snap the slump and it looks like it has to be practice with every player attending. * ti Ron Merrier was correct in his prediction that his team eauld defeat •the weaker Zurich e 1 u b. They proved that Fri- day night but still have to win a couple more games to really satisfy us that they have a bet- ter ball club. :F* There has been talk about a golf tournament at Bayview Golf Course, but only by some members of the club. We know that a lot of golfers would like to play in a tourna- ment because they have never partisipated in one before. It has been rumored that the lo- cal Lions Club is talking about staging a tournament for their members and invited guests, but as yet there has been n.o announcement from their off- ice whether it is true ;or not. Perhaps Bayview Golf Cour- se will arrange a tournament for their members, if enough of their members express int- erest in it. There have not been too many golf scores turned in from. Bayview Golf Course lately. If there are not more s c +o r e s turned in by next week, then we are going to discontinue the write-ups. Some scores last week were John Robinson's 39, and Joe Hunt's 43, 43. In the junior division Shane McKinnon had a 52; Kevin McKinnon, 51 and 50; Garry Geoffrey 48, 49. BOB'S Barber Shop MAIN STREET, ZURICH "Professional Hair Care" Agent for Dry Cleaning Zurich Kings Look impressive in 6-0 Victory Over Staffa Merchants The last place Zurich Kings snapped a five game losing streak with a 6 . 0 victory over Staffa Merchants last week, then turned around and blew a lead in their sloppy 7 - 4 loss to the hometown Dashwood Tigers, Friday night. The Kings played good ball in Mitchell and ;deserved their win over Staffa;, Dick Bedard on the mound for Zurich, al- lowed only three hits in pick- ing up the shut -out victory. He was at his best in the sixth in- ning when Staffa had two men on base and just one out but failed to score as Dick fanned the next two batters. Zurich scored three times in the second inning. Doug O'Brien singled, Phil Overholt walked and Dick Bedard sac- rificed them to second and third base. George Haggitt walked to fill the bases and set the stage for a single by Jim Bedard which scored two runs. Haggitt was erased on the base path but Bedard scored on Angus McIntosh's single. Doug O'Brien doubled and scored on Overholt's hit in the third inning to put Zurich in front 4 • 0. In the fourth inn- ing singles by Haggitt, Mein. sis%��n:i See the complete catalogue of Citizen's News Cosh and Bob Johnston notched another run for Zurich. Doug O'Brien scored bis third run of the game in the fifth inning when Staffa made a fere costly errors. Zurich added another run in the eight inning but it was erased when the game was call- ed due to darkness and revert- ed back to the last complete inning. Dick Bedard scored it after his double and singles by Haggitt and Vic Klassen.

Nine Errors Help Dashwood Tigers Trounce Zurich 7-4 on Home Game Zurich Kings gave a gift win to Dashwood by committing nine errors in their 7 - 4 loss, The Tigers had the same num- ber of hits as Zurich but play- ed better ball a n d deserved their victory. Zurich spurted to an early 2 - 0 lead on runs by Bob John- ston and Earl Wagner, both walked, and stole a base. They scored on Dick Bedard's single. Eugene Guenther got a run back for Dashwood in the third inning after reaching on an error, and scoring on Al- phonse Denomme's hit. Zurich finished their scoring in the fourth inning with two runs. Phil Overholt started the inning with a hit. Donald O'Brien doubled and Jim Be- dard walked. Overholt scored on a wild throw to first by the catcher and Bedard scored on Johnston's hit. O'Brien was erased at home on a fine throw by A. Denomme. Bob Hoffman walked and scored while Zurich was mak- ing errors to close the score to 4 - 2, in the fourth inning. M.
