The Merchants, plagued by inconsistency during their regular season, continued to follow that route on the weekend. They shut out Wyoming 5-0 in their first outing, lost their second game 10-5 to Courtright, then dropped a third game 7-4 to Exeter. SEAFORTH 5 -WYOMING 0 Clendon Coombs pitched the first game for Seaforth, giving up no runs on five hits. He walked two batters and struck out five for the win. Seaforth got its first run in the first inning when Jim Campbell singled, Dave Akey walked and then Don Williamson singled home Campbell. The score remained that way until the fifth when Seaforth earned three runs to take a 4-0 advantage. Del Mitchelmore led off the inning with a double and Gerry Feeney reached base on an error before Akey doubled to score Mitchehnore, and Williamson singled home Feeney and Akey. Seaforth scored its final run in the sixth in- ning when John Cairns was. hit by a pitch, sacrificed to second base, and scored on a single by Campbell. Totals - Seaforth scored five runs on nine Merchants continue struggle in Errors and a lack of hitting continue to hamper the performance of the Seaforth Merchants. The senior men's hardball teani lost another game to Strathroy Wednesday night, this one by an 11-1 score. "We just can't seem to get all of the aspects of the game together," said coach Marc Robinet. Rohinet said the pitching was good, but er- rors and the team's lack of hits hurt them. But, he added, the hitting wasn't as bad as Squirts winners SQUIRTS This was a busy week for the St. Colum - ban Squirts. They played on exhibition game as well as their regular league game. On Tuesday, June 21 the Squirts hosted Goderich Squirts in an exhibition game that coach Dan Nolan said was the toughest game so far this year. The Squirts won 3-1 on goals by J.D. Nolan, Larry Kelly and Gary Van Bakel. But the story of this game was the St. Columban Squirt defence. Full backs Ben Murray and Chris Verberne. Along with goaltender Mike Murray, played outstan- ding in thwarting the pesky Goderich at- tack. Many times the Goderich forwards came close only to have the shot blocked or kicked away. On Thursday, June 23 the Squirts travell- ed to Ilderton and won 2-1. The score does not reflect the play of the game as the Squirts hit three goal posts and had two penalty shots that were missed. Goalscorers for St. Columban were Gary Van Bakel and Scott Van Dooren. ATOMS This seems to be the week for tough games for St. Columban teams as the atom team won 1-0 against Arva is Arva on Mon- day, June 20. Chris Marion scored the only goal of the game. Pat Coyne and Adam Nolan split the time in goal and shared the shutout. • • the score might indicate. "We only had one hit, but we hit the ball hard - just right at them. We walked seven times - so we're being more patient," he said. "The strike outs were high, but they've • got some good pitchers. The difference hi this game was the errors. We majle seven errors and they (Strathroy) didn't make any. Out of the 11 runs Strathroy got, only four of them were earned." "You just can't expect to win kicking the in two outings MOSQ I On Thursday, June 23 hi Nairn the Mos- quito Is fell behind 3-1 at the hall but came back to win 4-3. Scoring for St. Columban were Mike Weber with two and Mike Watt and Steve Mclnally scoring one each. Carl Terpstra and Lawrence Flanagan played well in goal to keep the Nairn 11 team from tying the game.

After some nice passing by the St. Columban players, Terry Sloan chipped a shot over the goalie's head and into the.net. Terry Sloan also scored the final goal for St. Columban. All the St. Columban players -played well - especially Raymond Murray who played a strong game in the midfield and Trevor For- tune who was steady in net to earn the shut out.

No, I don't mean what you shot for 9 or 18 holes. I mean have you really looked at the scorecard for your local course? The scorecard is the first thing a golfer grabs when he enters the shop. I remember once we inadvertantly ran out of scorecards - what a hassle that was. Golfers go nuts if you tell them there's no scorecard and yet. many of them never really look at it. Scorecards contain vital information such as a map of the course, the length of the holes, and of course the elusive par that golfers strive for. usually these three items capture the attention of even the most inex- perienced player. Then there's the course rating. Thls number is printed on the scorecard for the benefit .of players who are establishing a handicap for competition. The course rating is the degree of difficulty of the course com- pared with other courses. A variety of fac- tors are considered when the course is rated, including; length, size of greens, width of fairways, bunkrs, trees, water, topography and even prevailing winds. Thus courses with the same par may have dif- ferent ratings for men and women. The rating is what a golfer's handicap is based on. A column on the scorecard which initiates many inquiries is the column entitled "strokes. " The numbers don't seem to make rhyme nor reason to the non -golfer. However, just as the entire course is rated, so is each individual hole. Then the holes are numbered from 1 to 18 with the number 1 stroke hole being the most difficult hole on the course and the number 18 stroke hole the easiest. When golfers play a match and strokes are given because of different skill levels, the strokes are given on the most dif- ficult holes, where the less skilled golfer needs them most. The scorecard has spaces for your score Turn to page 15A e Brumfield man, d killed hi head-on c A motorcycle -car collision claimed the isn't suffering frorn Lives of I BruceEeld mss and his daughter Police sly the a m S0tmd0y pm on County Road Jo s Da north of Clinton.
