Times-Advocate, 1986-09-10, Page 15Middlesex Tories play ball August 24 was a busy day at the Thorndale Community Park when the young Progressive Conservative members of the London - Middlesex Federal riding gathered to out maneuvre each other in the second annual Terry Clifford ball tournament. .. There were five teams assembled for this event. West Nissouri had a team under the leadership of the Y.P.C. president, Greg Smith. This team had some good breaks and a few bad ones. They ended the day with two wins and two losses. Marg Smith (the new president of the riding) was the score keeper so they should have had a few lucky calls. They even had Bob Eaton on the team. Bob may have a few miles on him but he can still come up with a good hit and can run like heck when he connects with the ball. Probably his position as government whip gave him some experience in the three -bag shuffle. It is true that Bob is not a Y.P.C. anymore, but he can still play a good game. Arva's entry was under the direc- tion of George May. This was the team that took the championship last year. There were some changes in the line up this year. They played three games and bad three losses. George had his father "John" in the clean up position last year, but as John was out of the country for this tournament the whole team just seemed to come apart at the seams and was just a wee bit disoriented. East London fielded a team under the close scrutiny of Janice Hardy. This team won two and lost two, so they were not strong enough to make it into the finals. This was the team that everyone thought would take the championship as they had some players that play competitive ball. On this particular day these people came out for some recreation, and a lot of fun, and that is just what they had. Janice even had her brother Paul flown in from England to help the cause, but he had been out of the coun- try too long and he always travelled on the wrong side of the line when he was running the bases. He still figured he was in Merry old England playing "rounders". Southdale had a strong team under the guidance of Scott Woodhouse. This team had three wins and one loss to make it eligible for the final competi- tion.

This team had the same track record as the Southdale team so they were to compete for the championship and the Terry Clifford trophy. After a very hard fought battle, Glanworth emerged the winners with the score being 10 to 6. There was a. great barbecue prepared by Janet Currie and May McClymont while the troops were do- ing battle on the diamonds. Thank you girls for a job well done. Greg Smith and Doug Hardy presented the trophies, and were also in charge of a draw for everything from records, athletic bags to golf balls. All the gifts were donated by radio stations, sporting goods stores and a host of other public spirited individuals. Greg Smith represented the youth. Doug Hardy is the youth advisor who is appointed by the senior executive. Gail- Woodhouse who seems to be some where in between the youth and the senior group was appointed by Terry to be co-ordinator and consul- tant: These three people had to do the organizingof this event in the absence of Terry Clifford who was in Finland on Government business. Please make a note of the big corn roast to be held at the May ranch Saturday, September 13. This is bill- ed as the Corn Cob -Hob Knob. Remember how well it was organiz- ed last year? It will be even better this year. The May family are due home any day now, and as expected John has purchased a fine herd sire to add to his stock of rather fast imported squirrels. There is talk that they might even have a tote board for the squirrel races. In any event - come on out on the 13th for a few hours of fun and food, even if it is on your way to the Western Fair. Doug Hardy has informed me that there will be a golf tournament at Fair Villa Golf Course at Nilestown on Wednesday, September 24 with "T" off from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. This is for junior and senior members of the P.C. family. It should be a lot of fun and a bit of competition for those taking part. For more information on these two events please call Doug Hardy at 451-4564 or 434-6061, or you could also call Gail Woodhouse at 681-0371 after 5 p.m. These names are not necessari- ly in order of ability or seniority.
