Goliat was one of the WHIZ KIDS that sparked the PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES to the flag a number of years ago. Mike’s stay in the majors was a short one and it looked as though the second sacker would be doing a lot of travelling. The MAPLE LEAFS purchased Mike and since then neither has been sorry. All of Goliat’s l^ig league davs were far behind him when he was given a 1956 . Buick Hardtop along ’with dozens of other gifts. Who said that the Major League was the only place that one could capitalize in? Getting back to the MAPLE LEAFS in general, we find the club sitting on top of the league with a three and a half game margin. The peculiar thing about this standing is that not one player on the Leaf roster is hitting the ball at a .300 clip. Before the Sunday game, we glanced at the batting averages on the wall in the stadium and saw that ARCHIE WILSON was the top slugger with a .288 average. Only three players on the team are hitting under the .250 mark so one could not ask for a better balanced hitting team. • A lot of former big time stars will be found in this TRIPLE “A” LEAGUE. Names like LUKE EASTER (Buffalo), SATCHEL PAIGE (Miami), SAM - JETHROE (Toronto) and LOREN BABE (Toronto) keep coming back to show old time flashes of their earlier careers. Ball players with futures will also be found in this league. ELSTON HOWARD, now with the YANKEES, was with the Leafs. Catchers DUTCH DOTTERER, now with HAVANA, and SAM SAWATSKI, with To­ ronto, are .big league prospects as is the Leafs No. 1 hurler LYNN LOVENGUTH. So let’s watch the progress of these fellows and the Leafs to see if any-of our predictions come true. ★ * 'ic * * ■* SWIMMING MEETS are still being held much to the happiness of all the young faces» Over the past week the strong GODERICH crew won the second of three meets practically hands down over the invading ST. MARYS and EXETER-CEITRALIA entries. The kids are getting a big kick out of travelling around to reveal their supremacy in the water. They are not only boosting their own morale but are representing' their home terms which we think is -a fine thing to d©. JOHN KANE, the swimming instructor £>f the lakeport kids, who we criticized in last week’s column for creating a rhubarb in front of the young athletes, dropped in to see us this week to explain his side of the story. We regret we were out at the - time but John left us his opinions on this contro­ versy. KANE, like all other swimming instructors, ap­ pears very interested in helping the kids along by teaching them all he knows about the sport. Obvious­ ly he’s doing a splendid job as the results of the meets have shown. , « KANE figures that all the swimming rules and regulations should be taught to each competitor be­ fore these swims are held. “If there is to be com­ petitive swimming, rules should be followed and hot argued over during the competitions," said John. We agree with Kane on this all the way, It’s too bad that these rhubarbs have to turn up. . ,, I haven’t any knowledge of this but it seems queer to me that there isn’t some standard rules set down in books for such an active sport as swim­ ming. If there is a set of rules to follow then some of the instructors have- misunderstood what they were reading to cause these beefs. If there isn’t any book for reference, then it’s high time that the instructors met to iron out the questionable ‘rules before the meets are under way again- next year. Tt TIPPING- THE HAT—We would like to, con­ gratulate HELEN WALLS of the EXETER-CENTRALIA swimming team for her stellar performance at the GODERICH RACES. The young lady came home in front of her opponents in six races and placed second in four others . . * Keep up the good work' 1, 3,00 p.m.Sunday, Sent, 2, .3.00 p.ni. Kansas.

Peter Masse of the Lumber Kings pounded out three singles apiece to hold the edge in a ten-hit at­ tack. Bob Kovacie’s long three-bag­ ger in the big fifth inning was actually the difference in the game as his blow came with’the bases loaded. Eater Kovacic raced home from third with what proved to be the winning run, after a fly ball was caught in shallow left field by Harry Elliott. Doug O’Brien pulled off a cou­ ple of good defensive plays in his second base territory, to rob i Dashwood of hits. j The Lumber Kings registered i nine unassisted putouts in the i game while Dashwood rang up a total of twelve.
