All members present were unanimous in their appreciation of the wonderful time enjoyed on the Legion sponsored bus trip, May 16. too much for Parkhill as they defeated the visitors 16-6. Pitcher Doug Johnston picked up the victory,getting relief from Brian Lightfoot. Thursday night at Ailsa Craig, errors played an important role in the game as Lucan defeated Ailsa Craig 8-7 in a very close game, Brian Lightfoot went the distance for the Irish to record his first victory of the season, In a high scoring contest Lucan ladies defeated Ailsa Craig, the defending champions, by a score of 26-20 in a game played Friday night. Marie Nickles, the winning pitcher, was relieved by daughter, Nancy, in the middle innings but came back to finish the game. Several players did well at the plate, hitting quite a few extra baggers. The Lucan Juveniles had to be one of the busiest teams around as they played an exhibition game Wednesday and travelled to Lambeth to take part in a junior tournament. Lucan dropped a 10-8 decision to Brinsley in their first game of the season which was played at Lucan. By CARL STUCKLESS Our weekly writer Sid Daley is away on holidays. He is currently enjoying some Newfie hospitality while attending the Legion Dominion Convention in St. John's. I know he will have a full report when he returns. (Don't forget my lobster Sid.) I would like to thank our Sports Officer, Roy Scott and his wife Marlene for the greatnneal tthey. prepared for our sports dance last Saturday night. I counted seven or eight members there and the other small number were guests. Talking from experience I know how much work is in- volved in getting these dances going. When you see the number of people who attend, you wonder if it was worthwhile. If, at our next meeting, Roy asks for funds from the general account to run our sports program, I hope no one CIL PAINT Effective to May 31 1070? DONNA'S DECORATING CENTRE turns him down because I know how hard he worked only to receive so little co-operation from our members. Buck Shipway's name was drawn for our Saturday night Pot of Gold draw, but, not being registered, he missed out. The new Formosa Fastball League kicks off this Sunday with Byron Legion taking on our guys from '540' at the arena diamond. How aboutparging,outip gwe,,our,„„ fellows some support. Gametirpe is 1:00 p.m. Our team is also involved in the Lucan recreation league. These games are usually Monday and Thursday evenings. Our guys are off on a "winning streak" by taking their first game from Langford Drive 32 to 15, would you believe!!! Comrade Robert "Jock" Holland and Bill Hodgins are home from hospital but will be convalescing for a while. Speedy recovering fellows! Our last meeting until fall will be held on June 12. See you there. It's been brought to my at- tention that some members have gone to the hospital and have never received a card or visit from our branch. Believe me it is not intentional, just lack of communication. If anyone knows of a member in hospital, please telephone myself or Len at 227- 4751 or Mrs. Olga Bond at 227- 4133. At our last dance I received a lot of complaints from our members about some people coming up stag and being a general nuisance. This sort of thing is not allowed so please in future fellows, if you can't bring your own lady, please stay away. Don't forget the big Branch Golf Tournament to be held at Exeter golf course, Saturday June 8. The $6.00 registration includes green fees, prizes and a barbequed steak dinner back at the branch. Everyone is invited (and most of us can't golf!!). I will try to get in another report before Sid returns so if you have announcements or such, please let me know. That's 29 for this week! %%11.mmolloommourffmfoinnutonfmakom..........gmemolomfrommolormohommolowo.....lommomosniondf rDALEY'S WEEKLY COMMENTS A pinch hitter LUCAN'S TOPS QUEENS Awards were presented Wednesday to the winners of the Lucan TOPS dub competitions foe 1073.
