)3y . Sandy Me,DOnald
'
There was action aplentl at Agricultural park last Friday evening.
Two ball games were staged there: the first was the baseball game
'13etWeen. the Goderich Lions Bantams and the Clinton Legion Bantams
,which started at 7:00 p.M.; second was the seftball game between
the Poclerich Dodgers and the Bruhetield ladies infermediate softball
team, which began at"9:00 p.m. under the lights.
• When you* sports columnist arrived on the scene of the baseball
game, the Clinton Legion lads were leading the locals by a margin
.01 10 - 4, at the end of the 6th inning, During that last inning though,'
the Goderieh Bantams dame very close to tying the score with
their 7th inning batting rally which featured two home -runs includiag
a "grand slam", which narrowed the winning margin of the Clinton
boys 10- 9.
Goderich Dodgers had just about worn out two of Bruceffeld's
pitchers by the top half of the third inning which saw the local gals .„
o• ut in front by What 'seemed like an insurmountable lead when this
reporter left the field. •Sure, we like to see the home team .vin,
but it seemed as though the Goderich Dodgers were playin_g a
team that dicinit beiOng in the same league, hence any e,xcitement
was completely ia,cking in this contest.
And one other thing. Why should both umpires be from Goderich?
It would seem only fair that for this game or any • other, that each
team should be represented by one umpire or else both umpires
should come from a different town than either team. Don't get Me
wrong. I'm not accusing the ones who did do the umpiring at this
game of any unfairness. At the same time, the calls that were
made by the plate umpire, if there were any dobut as to whether
it was a ball or strike,. seemed to favor the Goderich batters.
Getting back to the Goderich Bantam "B's" it was understood
' here that they were scheduled to play in a baseball tournanient
at Chesley, Saturday, June 24. How many teams were entered and
how did Goderich Bantams make out? -
Seems as though the tournament over at Chesley was rained out,
the *afternoon games anyway. GoderichBantams, who were scheduled,
to play thea,' were notified pot to come. Instead they'll be playin`g
Thursday evening. If they win, they'll return Saturday following.
And how have the town's senior soccer team, The Goderich Uniteds,_
been doing lately?
Sorry to say, folks,, that the Goderich Uniteds have not had very
successful results from their last two outings; a week ago Saturday,
.• uunuon L;eitics nu.mnieu mem 4 - Z;111 Last Saturday's game
with another London team our senior soccer team fared no better,'
although the margin ef their defeat was lower; this time it was
2-1 in favor of the Dutch D. team. •
Just got word from Richard Madge, Publicity director for the
Goderich Junior B's booster club..that two bromisine voune Windsor
hockey players have agreed to sign with the Junior B club in this
town for the 1967-68 season.
Scouted by jack,Evans during the Milton juvenile hockey tourney
this spring,they were members of the WindsorfRiverside juveniles
last season.
Jim Gratto, at 18, - has the proportions -height six feet, weight
170 pounds, which 'will make him a rugged defence.man for the Siftos.
His team-mate, 0.wen Freeman, 17, who will continue to play a
center position. which .he occupied on the Riverside squad, packs
185 pounds on a five,foot tenframe, Both imports will attend classes
at the Goderich collegiate while playing lockey with the Goderich
Junior B's; Jim will be entering grade. 13 and Owen will be in
.grade 12.
One other item which Richard brought to our attention: A meeting
of Junior B hockey officials was 'held in Toronto recently to discuss
formation Of an Ontario Junior B hockey council at which Vince
Young, „past -president of the Goderich minor hockey league, was
a delegate; more news about that later.
