Flyers Drop First
To Kincardine 3-1
The WOAA Major Fastball sea-
s n start proved to be a disastrous
one for Goderich Flyers last Fri-
day night as they suffered a 3-1
setback by the Kincardine Merch-
ants at Agricultural Park here.
Errors at the plate were costly
for the locals and gave the visiting
Merchants the opportunities they
needed to steal bases and score
their runs.
The game was a pitchers' duel
all the way with 'Big Charlie Cot-
ton on the mound for the Flyers
whiffing '22 and Norm Bagnall ' for'
Kincardine striking out 18. ,
Goderich took a one -run -lead in
the third frame when • Cotton
singled, went to second on a pass-

ass-
ed Mali stole third and„, came home„
- on another er passed`balf: �God.erich's
doom came in the fifth, when Kin-
cardine scored two important runs
on passed balls.. The Merchants'
third tally came in the seventh
inning.
Goderich used two catchers, with
'Danny Willis relieving Bob Ginn
in the fifth. Grant Chisholm, re-
lief pitcher for the locals, was call-
ed in to bat for Ted McLean in
the seventh inning, but didn't . do
any pitching.

Wort To Improve
Rural Service
Telephone construction crews
are building new rural lines in an
extensive program designed to im-
prove service throughout Goderich
Township by reducing the number
of subscribers served by each line,
W. W. Haysom, Bell Telephone
manager here, said this week. The
project is scheduled to be com-
pleted in December,
By agreement with the Goderich
Municipal Telephone Company, the
Bell company is . placing 1,990 new
poles and electing 85,060 feet of
aerial cable—some of it containing
more than 200 pairs of wires—and
130 miles of double -strand wire.
A small proportion of the existing
lines will be utilized in the re-
modelled and enlarged system, but
most of the old lines will be re-
moved when the Bell equipment
is placed in service, and the Muni-
cipal Company's service is discon-
tinued.
The Goderich Municipal Tele-
phone Company now connects 139
rural telephones with the Goderich
exchange, and 232 with the Clinton
exchange. The new system, whioh
will also terminate at these Bell
exchanges, will provide for growth
during the next few years in the
nutuber of telephones served,' and.
still no more than eight subscrib-
ers will be served by one line,
according to estimates. Included
in the modernization program is
the installation of new telephone

Another construction project,
now in progress in the Goderich
urbon area,,:will make it possible
to provide telephones for those
who have been waiting for 'service,
Mr. Haysom said. It will also take
care of requirementsfor future
telephone growth here. By the
end of the year, Bell crews -aro,
expected to place 2,470 feet of
cable in underground ducts, bury
an additional 7,800 feet of cable
and erect 14,300 feet of aerial
cable. Installation of the new
cable will permit the removal of
40,000 feet of wire throughout the
town.
Telephone growth here since the
end of die Second World War has
&peen unprecedented. In1045
there were some 1,100 telephones
in service. Today there are near-
ly 2,000.

Remember the pleasant parlor game
called ping-pong, in which you gently and
-politely tapped •a celluloid ball across a tittle
net . six inches high, and your opponent as
gently and politely bounced it back?..
Yore would hardly recognize that game
today. Now it's table tennis, a whirlwind, hard -smashing game
of split-second reflexes. The little celluloid ball 'now gets hit
so hard that', bounced on the table by a smash shot, it spreads
out like an egg, or, clouted full power on the side, it jets ort
like a lemon.
And you probably. never thought ping-pong, a term that
is' frowned upon in table tennis circles today, would become
one of the greatestof all international ,games. But it has.
The 21st World Table Tennis Tournament was held in London
,and its. entry was surprisingly international.
For the first time, the world meet welcomed into the fold
competitors from Argentine, Australia, Lebanon, Nepal, Saar-
land and Spain. Also competing were officially nominated
representatives of Hong, Kong; Japan, Pakistan; Singapore,
Hungary, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Rumania, England and the
United States. .
And in its broad=mindn,ess, table tennis .can teach a Nlesson
to other sports whose administrators waste so much time on
the pointless business of dividing the amateurs from the pro-
fessionals. All are classified as players -and those who wish
to make money out of it have merely to record that fact to
their national controlling body, as a matter of record and
information, but it makes no difference at all iii the eligibility
of the players for competition in any event.
The freedom from meaningless 'dividing lines is one , of
the .things about table tennis that impressed this observer.
Another is its internationalism. Take some other sports. by
comparison: Canada's own favorite game, ice hockey, has had
a great upsurge of popularity in Europe. But it isn't nearly
as international, for instance, as soccer. And still, soccer is
only a minor game, in the United States. Basketball, though
spreading rapidly, is still American -dominated. And baseball's
,,...-so=eaTled_.W,rworTd" seri'esM,...isn"''t,...given"`hie'rtl�trtl'ria'1':-•..,.......-,._....-..�......,,w..�..--......
Judging by the list of countries involved in the recent
table tennis titles, the game that started so riibdestly as
ping-pong has as much right as any to be termed the greatest
6f international sports.
