SAULTS COAL CO. Phone 75W. East End Nelson St. 20tf By :"Observer" With the opening of the fastball schedule slated for tomorrow night here at Agricultural Park, another season of summer sport gets under way. - Last week in Kincardine, the "brass" of the WOAA Major Fastball League • kat together to iron out rules and draw up a sche- dule. One of the big things to come out of the session was an ultimatum issued by WOAA president Harry Doughty declaring that umpires were going to • be proteceed. "I want to warn all clubs," the presi- dent said, "that anyone who so much as lays a hand on an umpire will be suspended for the season. I will see that this rule.. is strictly enforced with the execetive behind me on the decision." Efforts are being made, accord- ing to reports, to organize a school for umpires with Maxie Schaff, well-known Toronto authority in charge. Each team will be asked to name three ' umpires for the school. On the financial end of the set- up, each team is to post a $500 bond with the WOAA to ensure that the club will complete the season and will meet all obliga- tions, financial or otherwise. Coming in for considerable con- sideration at the meeting was the matter of ground rules, with Mea - ford's park getting the most atten. tion. By a 3-2 vote, it was decided that all parks must •be equipped with a pitcher's mound not, to ex- ceed xceed six inches. Previously, type of mound was optional with the result that pitchers were constant- ly going from a mound to a flat surface. Goderich, Walkerton and Port Elgin voted in favor of the standardized mound with Kin- cardine and Meaford against the move. The seine vote by the same teams decided on a schedule call- ing ,„for 16 home and 16 away games. Ultimatums weren't forthcoming from only the president, apparent- ly. Walkerton represelitatives told the meeting that if the OASA play - downs interfered with the WOAA Z14..s<r�o� "Mastercraft” Basebal — At Less Than "Club Prices'! -- FIELDER'S GLOVES 4 -FINGER GLOVE -Solid black cowhide; A beauty!

Goderich, OW iNhetstone fastball playoffs, The Walkerton crew would withdraw. This was ironed out, however, and the Walk- erton management finally asked the WOAA to request the. °ASA to al- low fastball clubs to complete their schedule and playoff before being called into the playdowns, Last year Walkerton was in both WOAA and OASA playoffs at the . same time. One item that received the sup- port of all representatives atthe meeting was to have an official league statistics bureau set up to tabulate the records of all teams on the league. - The scorers of each team will be delegated to supply the data and fill out printed forms to be mailed to.. each town in. the. circuit. And, finally, it was agreed to stage an all-star game in Kin- cardine in August. Meaford Knights, twice champions, will meet an all-star club chosen from the rest of the league. Last year the game was between two all-star .clubs, the first and second. Goderich kids - 12 years of age and under are out swinging the hickory again this spring in the pee wee softball league which was started last year by John Berry. This year again John is chairman of the Goderich Lions Club softball committee. Fortunately, however, he has some help. Last year he • was one-man organizer, coach, um- pire, everything down to practic- ally 'batboy. He appealed to same of the men in town a few weeks ago and support for the pee wee league has been good. Several men who agreed to give a helping hand where they could have been named as managers of the 13., teams and John has high opes that the league will have another successful season. It's a wonderful thing for the youngsters and we hope the adults who are pitching in to help will stick,with the job and make the league a standout.•40 Fastball Opener Slated Tomorrow First fastball game of the season is slated for tomorrow. night with Kincardine playing at Goderich and Meaford .at Walkerton.

He. was completely indifferent either to plaudits or jeers, and he became, `in his heyday, one of the sports figures fandom loved to hate., When he was called back into service from his $100,000 itched to him. Hereer year job aw snanuolder mantten who public d ado sympathy afulstretch of combat flying; a man whoe big earning power couldn't last too much longer.

A lot of men. betides ` me . are being called back to service, and a lot are losing plenty of money, too. It would be nice to wake up some morning and find all the world at peace.

Later, when it was time to return to the clubhouse, others suggested that Ted instead go right to Itis living quarters, to avoid the crovbd and to rest.
