Swimmers: frpm, Goderich, St, Mary's, Exeter and Elmira will be 'competing against a few local people between, 9 and 12 a.m,. The racing will be divided: up into five classes, which will include all ages, So far, swi{n team coach , Mark. 1ynham says interest has been "very, sparse", and he's looking for more people who are willing to give a little time and effort, The team practices from 4;30 5:30 p.m. every Tuesday and 'IOU'RE OUT! -- it was plays like this one, when a Brodhagen runner was tagged out at home plate, that led the Seaforth Squirts to a 15-9 win over Brodhagen last' Thursday. (Expositor. Photo) Sport alk by Pavy Ellis Baseball fever Little League. In the United States, these two words are almost worshipped:. They refer to minor league . baseball, a young version of America's favourite pastime,: Our southern neighbours feel about . baseball as Canadians feelabout hockey, :But this is not to: say that Canadiansare not involved in baseball..Qn,the contrary, just look at "ail the teams in this •area.. There's a men's league anda women's league (formerly. the Industrial leagues)'. And there is even a team for the: young beginners. This is the Seaforth Squirts Eastbali team., 'Fastball differsfrom regular baseball only in that a runner on base can't: steal or lead-off until the ball crosses.home plate on a pitch. Other than that, it's pure baseball. And that is what the players are there for: The Squirt team is, for boys aged 8 to 11. Usually, for future Reggie ,Jacksons, it's their 'first contact with organized ball Most of the players know the basic rules of the game beforethey get to the team, But skills, ' and , workingtogether, must be learned. This seems' to be no.problem 'for the; boys who are about as enthusiastic as a. littlekid at Christmas. They want to play and they want to win. And win is justwhat theydid last Saturday, as they came back to defeat St.. Paul's 12.11 after being down 10-2 .in the third inning. On .the way ,to the win,; the team hit two' home runs while: pitcher David Akey chalked 'up sevenstrike-outs. In another ' come-from=behind R.game;,, Seaforth beat Brodhagen 15-9, with the,aid of four home runs and four triples. The two. wins put the Squirts at a 3-4 ' win -loss record so far for the season, with 111games remaining: Jack Price is the coach' of the team, and he makes sure that each of the piayers sees some action during every game. But he goes by the rule that the coach runs the team, and any player who doesn't doas he is told becomes a bench-warmer.The players, understand this, and they. work. together better as a team, • Jack says that 'there has been no, problem at all with discipline: Parental support certainly isn't lacking. For home games almost' all theparents cone out to cheer on their, boys. At least half of them show ` pp for out of town matches. Transportatipn to: other towns.. isn't a problem either, as many parents are more than willing to, drive, Support from the general' public hasn't' been all that great this year. The team had to buy its. own sweaters, because a sponsor couldn't be found. To raise money, the team plans a novelty donkey baseball game in August. ` For those .of you who are unfamiliar with the sport, it is similar to baseball except for one point', Each player must be accompanied by a live •donkey, whether in the field or around the bases, "Live" isn't always an appropriate word, asthe animals often `are. literally dragged about. The ..date for ' this game will` be announced later. The Squirts have played a lot .of games lately, and are improving quickly;: Their Ba es are played at the Lt on sPa Park, usually -on Thursday evenings. Their next .home game is Thursday against Rostock at 6;45 p.m. Go out and support the team, both at regular games and at the comedy donkey. game. • Remember, a live game is always more exciting thafl. one on television. Naturally speaking by Steve Cook Carp were intrddtced • to the waters of North America many years ago by our welt meaning forefathers. In. Europe, when the flesh was properly prepared, (usually. smoked) the carp wa4 considered a delicacy as well as a highly /prized game fish. No wonder they wanted to bring this great nsh with them to the new. World. Carp thrived in their new environment and are now found in almost every major watershed throughout North America, Depending upon how you look at ,it, kbit can be either gobd or bad. This particular fish has the bad habit of rolling when it feeds, making the water in slow moving streams and; shallow bays very muddy and murky. They are also prolific spawners and seem to survive in spite of man's atternpts at eradication Top this off by classifying it as a coarse .fish; and it comes nut a real loser. There is, however, always the other side cathe coin, It has been said before that Wipmay well be "the fish of.the future," th society polluting streams faster they can clean them up, the lowly carp•may just wind up being the only fish left in our streams. Add On the insignificant fact that big hog nose: carp tire one pile of fun to Catch, and yfbu•'have 'a real winner.' Carp fishing can be real family fun if it is approached in the right manner, or it Can 'literally drive the serious fisherman to Oats of frustration. I prefer to keep my carp fishing; on the light side mainly because I catch more when I do, The mechanics of this tpe of fishing are fairly' simpk.

Seaforth council will make its annual request for help with the arena's operating deficit to;neighbouring town- ships who are asked to contribute according to how many of their residents use the facility. -Councillors approved Monday night an arena com- mittee .• resolution asking McKillop, ' Tuckersmith; I iibbert and Mullet for about 10 per cent more than last year.. ,$1500 from each 'of the first' two, • .S375 . from Hibbert and $11§ from Hul- led., Rec director Clive Buist told the Exposiitor, the amounts are based on regi- lar".organized'. sports at the arena. About 40 per centof participants come from Sea - forth, 20 percentfrom each lie back and wait for the fish to bite. It sounds easy, and it is, but there are a few tricks that make it less frustrating. First is the 'bait. There are probably as Many different bait recipes as there are fishermen, but a few stand out as all time favourites, Cheese, niblets corn, liver, worms and dough balls are the old standbys. Of these, worms and dough balls are my favourites. Dough balls are probably.. the easiest to make and handle, but they do present some problems when it conte to keeping' them on the hook. Thi$ can be remedied to a certain extend by kneading absorbent cotton into the dough. The steals' spting found in ballpoint pens, when slipped over the shank of the hook, will also help to hold the bait in place. A few drops of extract of vanilla in the dough will also help to attract fish. Carp are also well known for their sensitive mouth. If any resistance is felt when they pick up the bait, 'they will drop it without getting hooked. For this reason, if a sinker is used it must be a sliding sinker, The egg shaped ones with a hole in the center are best for this. Just pass the line through the hole before tying the hook on. The hook and bait will stop the sinker front obming off, but when a carp picks up the bait, the sinker stays on the bottom while the line runs freely through it. As I said at the start, carp fishing can be *family sport. Turn the outing into a picnic thatboth Mom and the kids' can enjoy, and it one of the youngsters gets a chance to. battle it out with a ten pound fish, itii be a day they% never forget. of McKillop and Tuckersmith five per cent from.
