The Huron Expositor, 1970-10-01, Page 5SPORTS SCENE The baseball season is drawing to a close both locally and in the States. The finals for the' local Industrial League got underway Tuesday night with a 12 - 9 win for Mainstreet. However, once the Mechanics get over their long laY-:off the series should be an excellent one. The next game is tonight at 7:30 at the Lions Park and the Mechanics will be looking to avenge Tuesday's loss. The pennant races are all over in bcith the American and National Leagues in the States. In the American League its Baltimore in the east and Minnesota in the west. The Eastern champ in the National League is Pittsburgh and in the west its Cincinnati. The World Series should see Cincinnati against Baltimore when the dust from the playoffs settles. With the weather of the last week it doesn't seem too far fetched to mention hockey. The Jr "A" season starts today and the N.H.L. season begins next week. We'll wait awhile before we make any predictions on that one. The two new teams, the Vancouver Canucks and the Buffalo Sabres are fitting into the league very well if the exhibition season is any indication. The Football Golden Bears from S.D.H.S, will' have to really improve if they. hope to be a threat in their league this year. They lost their opener with Goderich last week, 61 - 0. The team plays again today in Seaforth with Stratford Central providing the opposition. Game time is 2:30. Montreal Allouettes continue their winning ways in the CFL and as for the Argos, well it looks like we, along with everyone else, were way off base on that one. The season is only-half over, however, and in sport, anything can happen. This should be my last effort in this space as Ding should be back from his holidays this week end. The last flag Tne MaInstreet team in Sea- forth's Industrial Fastball League gained a berth in the finals with the Mechanics Sun, day afternoon when they downed the Legion 24 to 18 at the Lions Park in a hard fought game which required an extra inning. The Legion team .lame on strong in the early innings and by the end of the third led the game 10 to 4. Mainstreet knuckled down, however, and began to contain the Legion as they upped, their own score and by the end of the regulation 7 innings of play the game was deadlocked at 14 runs apiece. In the top of tree eighth the Legion scored four runs to break the tie but a determined Main- street came on in the bottom of the inning to score 10 runs aided by a three run homer by Bob Beuttenmiller to win the game 24 - 18 and give the team the series victory, three games to two. Mainstreet 1 0 3 2 0 4 4 1 0'-24 Legion '1 7 2 2 0 1 0 3 4 -18 St. Columban Foiled By Heavy Rain St. Columban had another vic- tory within their grasp only to be thwarted by the weather in a London and District Soccer , League game played• in London on Saturday. St. Columban were leading London Scottish 1-0 with 15min- utes left in the game when a rain storm erupted and the referee called the game. The teams waited for 15 minutes to see if the rain would stop but it Was still raining so the referee ended play. However, by the time the players had changed their clothes the rain had stopped and the game could have been completed hut 'the referee said the game was over. It is possible that'the league officials will order, the whole ° gam e replayed which will give ,the second place London team ' another chance to try to- catch the .1st place St. Colum- ban, squad. Without counting the St. Col- umban 'Scottish game, the stand- ings remain: St. Columban, 21 points, Scottish, 19 points and Roma 18 points. The game was very even with many scoring chances at both ends. St. Columban scored the only goal of the game at the 35 minute mark of ,the 1st half. Paul Malone dropped a high shot in front of the Scottish goal and with both Brian Melady and the London goalie going high for the . ball, the ball bounced loose and Brian fired it into the bottom left corner of the Scottish net. From this point, a light rain started to fall and the half ended with 1-0. In the 2nd half, Scottish pressed hard for the tying goal but were stopped by the strong St. Columban ,defence and the tremendous work of goalie Paul O'Reilly. Scottish were awarded a penaltYLshot at the mid-way point of the half but the shot went over the top cross-bar. St. Columban had great chances to increase their lead but twice the ball just missed the • London goal with the goalie beated on the play. The rain continued to fall arid with 15 minutes left to play, a thunder storm develop- ed. The referee called play and the game ended 1-0 for St. Column ban. ' - Next week 'is an open date for St. Columban, with Goderich Rangers ,scheduled to play here October 10th. Columban line-up: Goal- Pahl O'Reilly; Full-back - Tom Melady, Ron McClure; Halves - Dave' McInally, Paul Malone, Murray McClure; Forwards - George Love, KenFlanagan, Tom Love, Brian Melady, Gerald Ryan; Alt. - Gord Moylan, Bob Young, Ken Coyne.

"For me, Jimmy Clark was always the man who couldn't have an accident, and my re- action to that was that if it can hit him, it can hit anybody." Rindt, born to 'wealth, was • considered a "charger"' -- a driver who believes in going flat out at all times. Stirling Moss rated Rindt and Jackie Stewart as the finest, drifers in the world today. And this year,. Rindt was starting to live up to his poten- tial. He won a Gran d Prix and • was favored to win the Italian GP at Monza Sept. 6. 'On Sept. 5, he slammed, into the guard rail at one of the banked turns, flipped over and, was killed in- stantly. Rindt was scheduled to lead the Lotus team to Le Circuit Mont Tremblant-St. Jovite this month for the fourth annual Play- er's Grand Prix of Canada. He is but one of three Grand Prix drivers who were supposed to face the starter's flag in the Laurentians. Bruce McLaren and piers Courage were also killed, 4 doing what they liked best, driv- ing racing cars. Two years ago, these three, in company with Chris Amon and Jack Brabham, frolicked in the heated pool at Mont Tremblant Lodge the evening before the Grand Prix of Canada. McLaren, partially crippled by polio, was the self-made man in the group, a millionaire due to his skills as a driver and engineer. He was often asked why he kept on facing the dan- gers of car racing now that he el had made it as a builder and deSigner. "When I've got sufficient re- putation in terms of being able to build cars, sell cars and run a racing team, when I feel I'm Wingham defeated tracefield Bombers last Tuesday night in a game played in the rain at CFB Clinton.

He was old for a race driver starting out in Grand Prix cars in 1968. But he had some of the old "in-it-for-the-fun" flair of the stars of yesteryear. He, too, admitted the danger was always there. "Everytime you race, you know there's a chance you could get killed. It's a constant battle and when you are confident you have the ability to race, you don't really worry about the dan- ' ger." Stirling •Moss, perhaps best summed up why men continue to race cars after they witness their friends, rivals' and part- ners die violently doing the same thing. "Danger is ,an important and integral part of motor racing to me. I don't mean It's important because I want to get hurt -- I don't want to get hurt. I'm pet- rified of dying. I hate it. The thought of dying is terrible. I love life too • much -- partictr- larly when I was racing. It was a fabulous life, the greatest life a man can have. But I feel the stakes must be high to make the thing worthwhile. "And the highest stake k man can pay is his life. Therefore, if you are going to gamble and you say, "My life is on this' when you go into a corner, and I'm going to take first' you can't go higher than that. "You can't tee Ihigher than that, I mean, that's like a royal straight flush, isn't it, when you haven't even looked at your cards. To the, this is a very imeort- ant part of what motor racing is all about." As long as men try to go faster and faster in men-made machines, accidents will con- tinue. And the racing driver who survives has to be both good and lucky. Rindt, McLaren and Cour- age were only good.
