But the threatening weat-
her was all but forgotten as
the crowd °enjoyed a game
, with a different twist the
players were riding donkeys.
• Donkey b asebali is a vex-
sion of the sport when all the
playersexcept the pitcher ..
and catcher must ride or, be
accompanied by an often,
unwilling burro.
Originally the CKNX Try-
Hards team from the radio
station in Wingham were
slated to -play against the
Oldtirners in the game. How-
ever, due to, the weather,
conditions, the CKNX team,
did not show up, as they felt
the match would have been
cancelled.:
•Whenit was learn
ed that the other team was
not coming, the Oldtimers
divided .themselves inte two
squads.. and put. • on a. good.
show with the aid of the
donkeys: .
The animals .areowned• by
Jim -Smith . Enterprises . of
FenelonFalis, They start' their
baseball season :in May and,,.
play 7 a s,a week until mid
September.. The.. 11 donkeys
are all in excellent condition,
and apparently;don_t seemto•,
mind the : action. or the..
attention.
The game was sponsored
by the Seaforth Minor Ball
Associaton, and ' the . S275
profit will go towards; buying
them new uniforms for next

lead: Strathroy came back
with a couple of goals of their
awn, however,; to keep the
kids and'their. parents for the
program's success. 1 would
also like to thank , my staff
Julie Twynham and Joe
Verberne, for' without' their
valuable' expertise, the stun-

been possible.
Lastly, I would like to
thank Clive Buist• fora, the

he offered during the course
d the summer. His 'leaving,
for endeavours elsewhere
will leave Seaforth with a big
hole to fill and a better

again. Clive. .

Strathroy narrowed the lead
to 5-4 with 25 'minutes' re
enaining in the contest with a
30 yard blast directly off: a
free kick. , • -
Throughout the game,
Strathroy took advantage .of
some rather lax andnotice-
ably biased refereeing • as
game close.. St. Columban several of their playerscon-- him. Mike Avery turned in
mand. Finally, with:about
twenty minutes left to play, a
St. ,•Columban player retali-
ated after an eittremely
brutal tackle. This resulted in
a slight mix-up between the
teams.
Then after order was re•
stored. the referee,:to every-
one's astonishment, ejected
two St. Columban players
and ,one Strathroy ;player
from the game. From this
point on, St.; Columban had.
to•pllay withnine men against
Strathroy's ten. This call
•made. the,St. ;Columban play-
ers 'all the more determined;
though and they' were able to
hold on until the end.
