General Manager Glen McClure says he will be back for another season, as will coach Graham Nesbitt, who has been with the team for the past two seasons. Six directors have confirmed they are staying on the Centenaires' executive : Barb Watt, Bob Beuttenmiller, Ron Williamson, Joan Beuermann, Christine Tremeer, and Glen McClure. Nine directors are needed, and Mr. McClure says at least three more will be recruited. The past season was a hard one for the team on the ice, and this was reflected in the financial picture. "We ended up a little short, but in other years we've been well off. So we're not too bad off," says Mr. McClure. He said the team's past two seasons have resulted in smaller crowds, and missed revenue in ad- mission sales when the team doesn't make the playoffs. "We've had a good sponsor -it's still the Queen's Hotel- and that's what we rely on," added Mr. McClure. Next year Mr. McClure looks to a better season. He says it was a large team last season, and he is expecting a lot of returning players. Also, Seaforth had a decent midget team, and some midget players will be mov- ing up to fill empty positions.

IT'S EASY: The Seaforth Merchants Senior Mens Baseball team will begin its third season on Sunday, with a game against last year's pro- vincial champions, the Exeter Express. Game time is 1 p.m. at Merchant Field. Coach Marc Robinet, who has been work- ing his team at a number of indoor practice sessions for the last month, says he expects the game to be a good one. "We'll have had eight practices by our season opener and I feel we'll be ready," he said. "Defensively we look strong. We've been working hard in practice on defence and I feel it'll pay off." Offensively Robinet was less certain of how well his team would do, since there'd been little opportunity as of yet for erten- sive batting practice. However, he said, he expects the large number of veteran players on the team to work to its benefit on opening day. "We have a lot of veteran players and we should be able to play competitively with the teams in our league,' he said, noting that he . doesn't expect flawless performances so early in the season: "If we can cut down our errors and our pitching can hold'teams to five and six runs, we'll have a chance of winning most of our ball games," he said. Robinet noted that his expectations for the year include a season record of 15 wins and 11 losses - or better. Last year's team finish- ed with 11 wins, 11 losses and 1 tie. The 1987 team finished with a record of 7,16 and 1. The Merchants are part of a five -man league which besides Exeter and themselves, includes Walkerton, Strathroy and Lakeside. They will participate in a 26 -game schedule with most home games Tuesday nights, and some set for Thursday nights and Sunday afternoons. All home games are played at Merchant Field (the Seaforth District High School) . Night games begin at 6:30 p.m. and single Sunday games at 1 p.m. Nine players will return to the Merchants from last year's team - Robinet himself, John Cairns Jr., Gerry Feeney, Marty Bedard, Darren Crocker, Scott Driscoll, Ray Anstett Jr., Don Williamson and Joe Aubin. Five more players, from the team of two years ago, will also rejoin the roster. They are Jerry Wright, John Wilson, Ger- rard Ryan, Bill Dale and possibly Kevin Bennett. Newcomers to the team include, Don Tunney, Dave Garrick, John Dale and Graham Nesbitt. The pitching staff will include Robinet, Bedard, Driscoll, Anstett, Bennett and Dale.

"The momentum is building for this ex- citing project and special day for children," says John Sweeney, Ontario Minister of Community and Social Services, whose staff help co-ordinate the event. "My staff have been working together with children's agen- cies since the beginning of the year, locating children who would benefit most from this opportunity."

"Of all the good work the Variety Club does on behalf of children, this project is the most fun," said Lloyd Kishino, Chairman of the Blue Jays Variety Kids Day. "lour airplanes and over 110 bused have been ar- ranged to bring the children to Toronto for the game. When you see the thousands of children bounding out of that number of buses and into the north grandstand at ex- hibition stadium, all of the months of planp- ing and coordination for the event are well worth the effort." "We're hoping for good weather anti a winning game against the California Angels," said Paul Markle, Director of Marketing for the Blue Jays Baseball Club.
