SPORTS CHATTER (By WALLY) With the Men's "A" Group sup- posed to be underway, we have been spending some of our time trying to find out what the other eleven teams have in the pitching and catching positions. Of these eleven teams, we have discovered some things about six groups. Starting with the new • addition in the W.O.A.A., we find that the Meaford Club will have Stan Gor- mon, who played Senior ball with the Toronto Dover's team last year, throwing them up to Bill Gas - key, a Meal'ord boy. Also behind' the plate for the Peter's,s Lunch team will be the substitute catch- er, Al. Richardson. Hughie Hall will be back in the Legionnaires uniform for the Luck - now Club, while his other half will be Shelley Miley, who goes to Lucknow from the Toronto Beach- es' League. He was catcher for the Toronto Tip Top Tailors, World Champions in 1949, and who all but repeated that record last year. We hear that Miley is a hard-hit- - ter, as well as an excellent catcher. Southamption is next on the list with their own "'home-brew" team. As the Kincardine News states: "Whatever else other teams in men's softball circuit will produce in the line of imports to heighten their victory chances, Southampton , will field a home-brew team. The cigar that walks like a man, 'Hoot' Gateman, will again be on the 'mound, and on the receiving end will be 'Dewy' Springer, late of Fergus." A last-minute note in the same "sheet" tells us that the Kincar- dine entry will ,have Johnny Tam - as as their hurler, Tamas was • with the Dalton team last year in the Toronto Beaches League and • toured the continent. He has also ' starred with other of the Hog Town teams. It is hoped by the executive of this lakeshore club that he will be able to supply his battery mate. As we mentioned last week, Wal- t kerton will have Zuck, last year's winning pitcher, for this champion- ship team, and Frank Kennedy, former Seaforth pitcher, will also be featured on the mound. Wingham Crossett Mercuries will have a pitcher whioh they picked up out of the Toronto Uni- versity, while Port Elgin also have a battery from the "city." No re - Ports are available from the execu- tive of the other teams, but with these few reports we can assure fans that this will be a worthwhile year in "A" ball. With all the new faces playing in the Lions Park this year, it is hoped that the tans will attend all the games which will commence at 8:30 sharp. Help your local club by attend- ing all games of the "Catchall" league of twelve teams. By the time this paper reaches you, two games will have been played in this group. If the wea- ther permits, the Goderich team will be here Thursday night. Tues- day, if no rain fell, saw the Cen- tralia team play host to Seaforth. Games coming up next week will s'ee Seaforth at Wingham Monday evening, a.nd Wingh-am back here Thursday night.

G. Hazlewood, of Walton, who based his thoughts from the theme, "Time." Choosing for bis text, Psalm 90:12, "So tesoh us to num- ber our days, that- we niay apply our hearts unto wisdom," Mr. Haz- lewood stressed the importance of early decisions in youth. to choose in youth, because (1) What we do in youth determines our 'life; (2) We do make decisions for some faith or other, for we live by faith; (3) We cannot recall day of youth, so decide. Miss Jean McDonald, of Exeter, guest soloist, in lovely voice, sang 'How Lovely Are Thy Dwellings" and "Alone With God." Miss Shir- ley Boyce, president of the Y.P.U., Presided for the service.
