WOAA holds annual ballmeeting
13v Ted Saunders
The Stanley Cup playdowns
caused some problems for the
Western Ontario Athletic
Association' .baseball com-
mittee when they held their
meeting in W ingham's Town
Hall last Wednesday evening.
Only a few communities were
represented.
Committee chairman,
Brian Marriage of Clinton,
called the meeting to order
about half an hour late
because . only '`a handful of
people showed up on time.
Listowel, Walkerton and
W ingham had a full
delegation. Cargill, which is a
new community with minor
baseball teams, was also in
attendance.
Several amendments to the
Ontario Baseball Association
constitution and by-laws,
which were passed at the
OBA convention in Kin-
cardine in March, were ex-
plained to the delegates.
Several of the amendments
were in connection with
player certificates.
An executive motion
deleted one whole section of
the constitution and replaced
it with the following' amen-
dments: (a) players in all
series must sign OBA cer-
tificates; (b) a team cer-
tificate tax will be paid by the
Association to the OBA for
each of its teams, seniors $25,
juniors $25; and others $5; (c)
the team certificate tax is to
accompany the certificates to
the OBA secretary; (d) lost
approved certificates will be
replaced at the cost of $2 each
or $10 a team.
A WOAA motion to change
the classification of dubs was
passed and ° changed this
section to read: "The OBA
shall offer for annual com-
petition the t• following
championships: senior,
junior and juvenile - A,B,C,D.
midget, bantam, pee wee and
tykes - A.B.C.D. and new E
classification.
Two other executive
motions which were changed
are - signing player cer-
tificates - (a) (2) change it to
read - "The first copy is to be
retained by the affiliate
association and the second
and third copies are to be
forwarded to the OBA
secretary". The other is
championships - (c) Add the
following -- "A fine of $50
shall be assessed an
Association for each team
from that Association which
withdraws after midnight
Monday .and prior to the first
playoff game".
The fourth execcutive
motion which passed was in
connection with protests,
complaints and appeals. It
now reads: (k) - "Teams
failing to fulfill their
obligations in OBA playdown-s
may be fined $50 payable to
OBA".
The Southern Counties
Baseball Association had a
motion passed after an
amendment had been made.
The,amended motion reads:
"The batter must wear the
same protective batting
helmet while running the
bases. The helmet may not be
changed until runner is
retired or at the completion of
an inning".
Two motions by the
Hamilton Baseball
Association in connection
with exhibition games and
trophies and crests, were
passed.
The first motion now reads:
"This , application must be
received by the OBA chair-
man to tournaments by' Feb.
5th of each year and it must
have been approved by the
Association secretary in the
area from which it came".
As to trophies and crests:
"The OBA will present 23
crests to members of the
championship team and 23
crests to the members of the
runnerup teams."
At • Wednesday's meeting
last week, several WOAA
motions were passed. There
were four proposed by the
executive and two from the
Listowel Minor Baseball
Association.
The first motion from the
executive which was passed
was one which will raise the
entry ,fee for all clubs by $3
per team. The second one
increased the umpires fees
from $8 and $13 to $10 and $15.
The third motion proposed
by the elective, and passed,
dealt with certificate tax. It
now reads: "Certificate Tax
for senior and junior teams
shall be $2 per certifiratP 411

minor teams shall be $1.25
per certificate. All cer-
tificates retained by the clubs
will also 'be charged this fee.
Failure to do this, sakd club
will not be allowed to par-
ticipate in scheduled games."
The fourth motion proposed
and passed from the
executive had to do with how
certificates were processed.
ThiS now reads: "Playing
certificates will be the
responsibility of the town
association to make sure they
are processed at the expense
of the league -and returned to
said town by appointment
through the WOAA office."
This last motion takes the
responsibility off the
shoulders of Conveners and
puts it squarely on the
shoulders of the Associations.
One proposal from the
Listowel Minor Baseball
Association was withdrawn
and will be sent to the WOAA
executive for approval at the
annual meeting in October.
The second proposal by
Listowel had to do with the
membership section of the
constitution. It now reads:
"Any club wishing to compete
in WOAA baseball for a
particular season must
complete an entry form and
send it with the prescribed
fees (including required
performance bonds) to; the
Secretary Manager by April
30 of that year.
"Any club not registered by
this date will not be allowed to
compete in WOAA baseball or
as a WOAA representative in
the OBA playoffs for that
Seaforth Curling
season. Any club with
drawing after June 1 will
forfeit their team registration
and performance bond."
In other business at • the
meeting, some discussion
was made in regard to the
Red Henry Tournament.
Clinton hosted the tour-
nament last year which is a
single -knockout affair.
However, they made the
suggestion that it become a
double -knockout tournament
in the future.
No decision was made assto
where the 'tournament will be
played this year` -'taut two
towns gave indications 'hey
might be willing to be the
host. Walkerton and Gorrie
both wanted more time to
decide for sure.
There was some discussion
on whether to continue the
inter -locking schedure with
the Huron -Perth league in the
senior division. The WOAA is
asking that an entry fee be
given to the league if -the
schedule is played. This has
given the Huron -Perth league
second thoughts.
In one other piece of
business, Doug Wilson of
Listowel was elected to the
executive. The rest of the
executive remains the same
as Ken Saxton of Wingham
will become an appointed
member for the 1977 season.
John Pritchard of Walkerton
will also become an appointed
member.
The WOAA Softball
meeting will be held in
Wingham on April 20 at 8 p.m.
in the Town Hall.

Huron -Perth will go along
with this. He figures a
schedule with just four teams
will be drawnupin the very
near future.
If this comes about, there
will be games against Zurich
Mets, Dashwood Tigers and
Thorndale Angels. Each team
would play two home -and -
away games with each of the
other three teams making a
1.' -game schedule. It is hoped
that some exhibition games
could be arranged with teams
from the WOAA and the
Southern Ontario ball league.
The first practice of the
Colts was held last Sunday
with about 11 players on
hand. Butch Fleet said the
next practice would be held
on Sundayat 10 a.m.
'Anyone - interested in
playing is welcome. Those
players who played junior or
juvenile last year are
especially welcome.
According to Brian
Marriage, chairman of the
WOAA Baseball division,
there will only be 1 ykes and
Pee Wee ball in Clinton this
year. Apparently there aren't
enough coaches or players
available to make up bantam,
and midget teams.
The junior club will also not
be playing this year because
of a lack of coaches. Most of
these players will probably be
with the intermediates or
playing out-of-town.
