Colts rform
By Bob
Livermore
Last Wednesday
evening the Clinton Colts
won a forfeit game from
the Thorndale Angels.
When the Thorndale team
only showed up with eight
players, the umpires
awarded the game to the
Colts.
John Hart, who was
slated to -pitch for the
Colts, gained the victory.
Last Sunday, the Colts
travelled to Lambeth to
take on the powerful
hitting Byron Juniors
who currently lead the
Southern Junior County
League. It was as ex-
pected a hitting contest.
The Colts outscored
their opponents 18-12 for
their second straight
victory against two
opening losses. As well,
the Coli., out slugged
their opposition, 15 hits to
12.
Danny Proctor, in
relief of Colt starter Don
MacDonald, gained his
first pitching pitching
victory at the in-
termediate level, Danny
also went two for three at
the plate as he raised his
average to .600.
The Colts jumped off to
an early 6-0 lead before a
batter was even retired in
the first inning. Don
MacDonald led off with
an infield single. After
Cal Fremlin reached first
on an error, Greg Burns
singled to right loading
the bases. Doc Miller
doubled in two runs. Don
Bartliff walked loading
the bases. Doc Miller
doubled in two runs. Don
Bartliff walked loading
the bases again. Mike
Anstett singled in one run
and with the bases still
loaded, Dave Bartliff
tripled in the final three
runs of the first inning.
Byron came hack in the
top half of the first inning
with three runs of their
own to make the score 6-3
after one inning. Two
walks and a single in the
second gave Byron
another run. Byron again
scored in the third to
make it6-5.
The Colts added three
more runs in tho fifth
inning to make the score
9-5. Doc Miller led off
with a tremendous home
run to right field to lead
off the fifth. It was Doc's
second home run of the
season. Don Bartliff
singled and after the next
t NO Colt hatters went out,
Dave Bartliff, I)an
Proctor and Don
MacDonald each singled,
driving in the last two
runs of the inning.
After Byron scored a
run in the bottom half of
the fifth inking, the Colts
came hack in their top
half of the sixth with their
biggest explosion of the
year. Thirteen hatters
went to the plate and
when the smoke had
cleared the Colts had
gathered nine runs to
make the score 18-6.
Greg Burns started it
all off with a triple to
centrefield. After two
Byron errors, Mike
Anstett walloped a three
run homer to left centre,
his first as a Colt. After
another Byron error and
a single by John Hart,
Danny Procter tripled
down the left field line

their third error of the
inning to allow Greg

Naturally speaking
by Steve Cooke
The walleye or yellow pickerel goes hy many
names. but there is only one name for it when it
reaches the table properly prepared -- fantastic.
Most people I speak to agree that they would just
as soon eat walleye as any other fresh water fish.
Now that the season is open in most of Ontario,
that mysterious fishing hug hits a lot of people.
Wives lose their husbands: boyfriends disappear
and fathers go away for a period of time (usually
about a week) on that "once a year" fishing trip. -
Everyone has -their favorite lure or method for
catching walleyes, but the old fashioned minnow
is still one of the hest. Canadian Tire stores carry
a rig designed especially for this type of fishing
that features two hooks and a snap for a sinker.
Fish this type of setup on or near the bottom,
particularly on sunny hot days. If you tie into one
fish, get ready for action. Since walleyes are
school fish, one catch indicates more in the
immediate vicinity.
One trick I learned during a summer up at
Cochrane was drift fishing. The anchor of the
boat was hung over the side and tied to the
gunwale with a slip knot. Lines were fished on
the bottom as the boat drifted aimlessly about
the lake. When a fish hit. the anchor was dropped
by releasing the slip knot and we stayed there
until the action stopped. This method produced a
lot of hangups, but it also brought us a pile of fish
when others were getting skunked.
If you feel you must troll, go deep and go as
slow as possible. Dark coloured lures and bottom
running plugs produce Netter than light coloured
ones, but the old fashioned June hug with a large
minnow in tow is still one of the hest.
I prefer my walleyes skinned and filleted. If
you don't know how to do it, have someone show
you. It's not that difficult. hut can he made a lot
easier by using a good filleting knife. The Ruko
Shark is an excellent floating knife available at
most sporting goods stores for approximately $8..
Wait till you get home to do this chore, however,
as the law requires that fish in transit he iden-
tifiable and that means leaving the skin on.
When you're ready to fry those fillets. try
dipping them in a thin hatter made from beer
and Aunt Jemima pancake mix. Fried in butter
and served up with hot stewed tomatoes, you'll
be an instant convert: and glad you are.

Soccer club on top
The Clinton Soccer
Club maintained a slim
lead at the top of the
Third Division when the
team collected one point
from a tie with St.
Columban "B" on Sunday
at St. Columban.
Before a "capacity"
crowd, Clinton in the first
half completely out-
played the young,
energetic St. Columban
team, hut with only a
single goal to•show for all
their effort.
• The goal came after 30
minutes of pressure by
Clinton, when Alex
Harrett crossed a perfect
hall from the left
touchline to Danny
('olquhoun, who merely
had to nudge it between
the goalkeepers feet to
score.
Nr, more on 1s wore
forthcoming until the
teams changed at half
time, and 15 minutes into
the second half saw a
mis-cue in the Clinton
defence that allowed St.
Columban to put one past
Gary Hesslewood in goal.
Clinton looked tired and
half-hearted as they
fought to regain the lead
and ended up glad to hang
on to the tie as the youth-
ful opposition outlasted
Clintons more ex-
perienced, but less fit
players.
With no game this
weekend, Clinton's
walking wounded will
have a chance to
recuperate before the
next game on Saturday,
June 17 when the op-
position is Oakridge "B"
from London.
