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

lure into. one

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.

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.

Ron Merrier was correct in
his prediction that his team
eauld defeat •the weaker Zurich

day night but still have to win
a couple more games to really
satisfy us that they have a bet-
ter ball club.

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.

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.
