SPORTS SCENE

Congratulations are extended to our two
local minor ball teams as both have ju st
completed successikil seasons and now ad-
vance into the W.O.A. A. playoffs. The Ban-
tams move directly into the 'C' finals, as
Mitchell dropped from the scene and the
PeeWees opened with a 12-11 win over
Mitchell in the first game of the semi-
finals.
Turning to the older generation, the
local Industrial League continues in fine
style .as more and more spectators are
finding out. The League provides eiteite-
tnent and fun for all with all games being
played on MOnday nights. The ladies?
league, consisting of only two teams, draws
the most spectators as these lovely legs
fly found the base paths.
A quieter game but one just as exciting
to those participating has been evident
during the warm spell, as the lawn bowling
greens continue to remain full.
A new event was held in C linton Tuesday
night before a good crowd as the Clinton
Recreation-Committee sponsored profes-
sional wrestling. It was an interesting
change for sport fans and provided lots of
excitement for those attending and a good
opportunity to let off that excess steam.
Moving further afield, it's great to see
-the Expo Canada's only major league
ball team, doing so well.,,Don't be sur-
prised if within another two or three sea-
sons the Expos bring World Series base-
ball to Canada.
A note about a colder sport hockey.
Local fans may have a good opportunity to
• cheer for the new Vancouver Canucks as a
• Goderich boy, Gary Doak, was drafted from
Boston and hopes tobecome a regular on
the new expansion team. Another local boy,
Paul Henderson, returns to Toronto's
training camp 'for what Paul hopes is 'a
more productive year.

The lights over the greens at the Seaforth Lawn Bowling Club are reflected in aathree-inch
pool of water which formed during Thursday afternoon's storm. However, by nine o'clock that
evening the drainage system beneath the greens had removed the excess water. Friday's good
weather helped in restoring them to excellent shape for a mixed tournament on Saturday. (See

Orillia, Ont. - This sleepy
town that , Stephen Leacock
made famous comes alive' each
summer as thousands of cotta-
gers make their weekly trek to
town for -groceries and supplies.
Until a few years ago, this,
was Onillia's, biggest single in-
dustry and numerous resorts,
camps 'arid 'motels sprung ,up on
the shores of neighboring Lake
Simcoe and Lake Couchiching.
Some of the resorts, unfortu-
nately, couldn't make, it as times
toughened, As a result, a
$250,000 business was born.
The Bobby Orr-Mike Walton
Sport Camp found a home in
just such a resort, and any day
this .su,mmer hundreds of boys
can be seen playing •hockey under
the direction of every boy's hero,
Robert Orr.
Make no mistake about these
hockey camps; they are big
business. And they are here to
stay. t But' the one tnat operates on
a truly big-league basis is the

on the east side of -Lake

this camp has going for it is the

The hero of Boston Bruins'
drive to the Stanley Cup has not
simply put his name on the en-
terprise. This .1s his 'summer
home for 10 weeks and Orr com-
mutes from here to his limited

',What part of the States are
you from?" one father asked
while puffing on a cigar.
Apparently, lie found it bard
to believe 'that Canadians dig
this type of summer, too.
Five of the six people in line
ahead of me were from the
Boston area, the man behind
from New York: .
"Approximately 50 per cent
of the 1,650 boys who will be
at •the camp this •summer are
from the United States," said
Bob Ilaggert, director of ;.• the
camp. "One seiren-fyear-old flew
in from California."
With a staff of 45 and an
investment of $500,000 (the
powerboats and canoes alone
cost $25,000),Orr • - Walton
Spurt Camps expect to be
. around for some time. -
This is their second year of
operation and their second
complete sellout. For $128.50
per week, including tax, a boy
participates in ,10 sports daily
- baseball, soccer, football,
swimming; canoeing, water
skiing, basketball, lacrosse,
golf, ' softball are among the
other`-sports.
As long as Bobby Orr stays
healthy, • the camp will soon be
taking in $400,000 annually
in fees. A mile-long stretch of
undeveloped shoreline is
owned by the camp and expan-
sion plans call for increasing
the capacity to , 3,000 .by
1972.
