Times-Advocate, 1982-02-10, Page 8Ttntee•AdvecaN, February 10, 1982 Lose big game to Braves Sports Spotlight By Ross Haugh Another excellent night of entertainment. Th the way to describe Tuesday's Exeter Lions Sportsmen's Dinner. A sellout crowd of close to 600 persons was on h to make the ninth annual, dinner one of the best e held. The calibre of speakers was great with each every one having something positive and encourag to say. headline speaker Jim Bouton, former N York Yankee pitcher said the purpose of sport was to only win, but to have fun. He added, "The must attitude of coaches and managers is distorted. K think they must win. That's not true. If you are try to have a good time winning will come easier." Bouton said failure and success were very dos related and his secret of success was persistence. continued, "I liked baseball so much I didn't kn enough to quit." He talked about the Seattle Pilots known as worst team ever to play in baseball and manager Schultz and some of his memorable sayings. Schultz told his players not to feel bad, you are that good and Bouton said one hot July their los s streak was so bad they lost 14 out of 12 games. The former Yankee also said Yogi Berra wa very funny fellow, but, not intentionally. When ask what time it was Berra is said to have answer "Right now." His best known phrase was "The ga isn't over until it's over." Former Montreal Canadin general manager Sa Pollock was also a very interesting guest. Same gain the reputation of being the best trader in the NHL a was responsible for 10 Stanley Cups in 15 years. We asked him about Wayne Gretzky and he sa the young Edmonton Oiler star would hold his own any era of hockey and ranks with the greatest. ' Asked about the best Canadian team he w associated with Pollock hedged a little saying th were all great, but singled out the 1971 team th played 20 playoff games on the way to the Stanley C and won every series on the' road. That was the fin year of John Belliveau's career. Pollock is now associated with Hockey Canada a said his group is aiming'at the 1984 Winter Olympics • Yugoslavia with what he expects to be a team made u entirely of college players. Pollock • concluded his platform addressbysayin "A champion is one who puts it on the line for the flirt he gets. Never stop trying. Be proud of what you ar You can't live with myth, but, with reality." - Dr. John Hayes of Beamsville represented 'th field of harness racing and .told the audienc "Harness racing is steeped in tradition here i Western Ontario. You have a lot to be proud of with th record of Merger as the• fastest ever two year-ol pacer. Merger was purchased as a yearling at th Harrisburg, Pennsylvania sales on September 4, 1 by Dave Morrissey for $77,000.. He is by the grea Albatross out of Laydkin Hanover. Making their fourth appearance at the local dinne were figure skaters Lori Baler and Lloyd Eisler. Thi pair won a second place finish in the Canadian cham pionships Saturday in Brandon and only Monday wer named to the Canadian team to participate in th worlds championships this year in Denmark. Lori said all the sweat, training and money_ ove the past nine years now seem to be worthwhile. The were first in a September competion. in England an third in December in Moscow. In replying to the accusation that Lori did all th talking, Lloyd Eisler better known as Herbie replied "A man of few words has little to take back." Former Toronto Maple Leaf defenceman Mike Pelyk paid tribute to Sam Pollock saying he has left a legacy to hockey and, is taking a very positive ap- proach to'his job with Hockey Canada in trying to im- prove amateur hockey. Montreal' Expo Warren Cromartie said his team came close three years in a row and 1982 will bring better things. Cromartie added, "We are going to win. We have a whole country behind us where some clubs have only a city or state supporting them." Three players from' eastern Canadian football teams threw a lot of good natured comments back and forth at each other. They were John Glassford of the Ottawa Roughriders, Hamilton's John Priestner and Glenn Weir of'the Alouettes. Cleveland Indian Joe Charbonneau was optimistic about his club's chances this year. He was named rookie of the year in the American league in 1980, but, had a bad year last season spending a short time in the minors. A spot on the 1984 Canadian Olympics gymnastic team is the hope of Lambeth gymnast Kelly Brown. Kelly who is a 16 -year-old member of the London Gymnkips says she spends 25 to 30 hours a week in practice. She was hobbling around with a cast on her foot after falling off a beam recently, but, expects to be back in training shortly. The entire program was kept going at a fast clip by master of ceremonies Father Joe Nelligan of Mount Carmel. Nelligan who only left hospital a few days ago after surgery was in fine form with his great humour. Adding to the list of speakers was local Tammy Christine Easterbrook who again won the hearts of all in attendance with her great courage and fortitude overcoming her physical handicap. Doing a great job was dinner chairman Doug Knowles and his hard working committee along with Lions president Doug Ellison.
