Hockey Players Compete
In Old -Time Bali Game (
• (By Leo Hagan) •
Let's play hall is the cry of
the challengers in the second
centennial conflictbetween the
Old -Timers, 1948 All -Ontario
Intermediate Ball Champions
and the three -time All -Ontario
Hockey Champions. About a
year ago in Canada's Centennial
year these two factions met in
deadly combat at the Lions Park.
It brought back many mem-
ories of years gone by — years
of hardship — years of putting
sport on the map in Seaforth
once again — years of fun —
year • of seeing our town grow
and memories of the many,
many friendships that were
made throughbut the years by
those who associated with sport,
church and social life in the
area.
Throughout the years in, any
town and, as in Seaforth, which
is marking its centennial year,
sport has had its ups and
downs. Such was the state in
Seaforth just 20 years ago when
some of , the best ball players
Ref
ever to cover the diamond play-
ed for Seaforth when they won
the All -Ontario Championship
in 1948. Then a few years later
the hockey team gained the
spotlight.
, Now, this year, Seaforth is
marking its own centennial, and
as of lastyear, the Old -Timers
of 1948 ball fame are ready to
tangle once again with the
champion hockey team.
This game will be preceded
by the "Biggest Littlest Parade"
ever in Seaforth, which, will
leave the town hall at 6:30
sharp, followed by the game at
7 p.m. The committee in charge
asks you to get into the swing
of things by 6:30 for a barrel
of fun.
Members of the 1948 Cham-
pionship team were: Ray Mul-
ford, ss; Bill Smith, lf; Clayt
Horton, rf; Frank Lee, auxiliary
fielder and p.; J. (Doc) Camer-
on, 2h; Chuck Wood, cf; Gus
Boussey, lb and c; Ed McIver,
auxiliary fielder and treasurer;
•
Don .(Chip) Wood, 3b; Larry
Labute. p and ss; Jack Eisler,
cf; Hui (Voice) O'Shea, c and p;
Frank Kennedy, p; Archie Hu-
bert, coach and auxiliary field-
er; • Jack Wright, mgr.; Tom
Beattie,trainer. Many of these
versatile players will be on
hand Saturday night.
The announcer will be George
Hildebrand and official scorer,
Leo (Lee -Hee) Hagan.
This is the opening highlight
of Seaforth's centennial and is
a must for all good sport fani
, within the area. The great stars
of a few years back are still
Stars in their own right. Come
out and see this exceptional ball
game. If you enjoy fun . . this
is it.
The sorts writer of that time
,was "Lee -Hee" with a column
"headed "Town Whisperings"
which always ended with a slo-
gan which still applies today:
"Clean Sport la Good Sport".
Come out Saturday night and
see it.

ead Ball Game Parade 4706‘,
(By Brian Cantley)
ReMetuber the Highlanders,
Seaferth's famed brass band of
men and women who hit great
heights during the 1955 Old Boys
Reunion celebrations? No?
Well, they existed and now
once more, along 'With consider-
ably more than a pound per
year of weight added, the old
Highlanders are taking theb
parade costumes out of moth-
balls, 'performing major opera-
tions to make their costumes
fit again, dusting off their in-
struments and blowing the mice
nests out of their trumpasto
lead -the way on Saturday in the
parade to Lions Park as a pre-
lude to the Old Timers Ball
Game.
The old Highlanders promise
to be better than ever before
and hope to show their young
successors, the SDFIS Girls
Trumpet Band, a few of their
own variations of marching
tunes and generally, how a Par:
ade should really be livened up.
