Guess who won the '$500 prize awarded the _holder of the 500th
and final ticket,drawn at Saturday night's Booster CubStag Night
rattle? We'll give liQt; a hint. That person wEtsettnable to attend
because of the ,,no women allOwed' rule, Which applies to this
annual men only unofficial Jurifor,43 hockey season Opener:
But what's the use l They ,(the ladies) can beat us at Our own
game - raffling 9f tickets., Oh 'yes. It was Margaret Evans, of
Goderich. She is team , coach Jack. Evans sister. It was more
than a little embarassing for Jack gVaM3, also a member of the
Booster Club. As -it happened, he was working with the„cOmMittee
in charge of the ticket draw Saturday night. Jack was takiag thelast
turn at the microphone, when,',much to his astonishment, he saw
his sister's name on the final and lucky $500 ticket drawn.
, Jadk was not even aware she held one. (Come td think of it,
Marg, you, should be able to afford the purchase of a season'S pass
to this years' Junior B games at, the Goderich Memorial Arena.)
•••• At Saturday night's affair, Barry Kinahan was the holder of
the second last ticket drawn. Barry, who is a selt-confessed winner.
take -all gambler, stated he .would not have entered into a deal to
halve 'the pay-off money, even if the other. ticket holder had been
present.
Regardless of whether you came home a winner or.not, 'the
evening was enjoyable and attracted a good -•turitout. There was
plenty of choice food which included cold turkey, dressing; cold
cuts, nippy old cheddar land a wide array df pickles and relishes.
The names of 20 other $25 Ray -o# tickets appear elsewhere in
the Signal -Star. ,
The festivities over, officials of the Goderich Booster Club
settleil down to business th following day. Sunday afternoon at
12( a.m. Coach Jack. Evans held the first of two Sunday tryout
'practices for Junior B prospects.
Close to 40 attended the first practice which lasted, for one -and
a .half hours. The early tryout drew hockey players from this town
and surrounding .ones. Kincardine, Wingham, 1,,incknow, Seaforth
and Clinton were all represented by aspiringJunior B Hockey players.
For the second practice held at 5 p.m.tabout 20 prospects were
invited to return. Among them were a couple of hockey players
from the University of Western Ontario. More practices were

It was 'Youth Day' at Tiger Stadium Saturday, when the
management of this American League ball club allow free entry
to baseball fans under the age of 16. About 13 members of Goderich's
,'67 Bantam baseball team watched Detroit Tigers play a crucial
double-header with the California Angels.
Goderich citizens, Harry Worsell, Richard Worsell, KenCrawford
and Mr. Paquette took carloads. In case you hadn't heard, Detroit
won the opener of Saturday's doubleheader with The Angels, 5-0.
The Goderich spectators stayed until the third inningof the nightcap.
Obviously they couldn't bear to watch their hosts being defeated.,
Detroit lost the night game 8-6.
Detroit was forced. to win. both games of Sunday's double-header
WI -The largels,ttrrorftr to remain in a play-off position for the
American league penant. As a result of their Sunday action against
.the California team, in which they repeated Saturday's record of
winning one and losing one, they are now out of the running. Boston
.Braves emerged 'the victors -of the American League. - •
It was a tough series for the Detroit Tigers to lose. They were
right up, in the top four teams during the home stretch of the
American League penant race.

Here's a word or two about another, more local ball game series
now in progress. The two finalists of the Central Huron Softball
League have now played three games of their best of seven finals.
Dungannon won the last game with Blyth last week, which now puts
the series at 2-1 ii favour of Blyth. A• fourth game was scheduled
for Monday night at Blyth.

Goderich Uniteds are not the,ailing- failing soccer team that they
were reputed to be in a recent sports column. Although it is true
they are ailing - they have been plagued with injuries during the
past couple of weeks - they still gamely compete with other, more
experienced teams in the London and District Soccer League's
second division.
A week ago, Saturday, they tied the Dutch B team 2-2. Last
Saturday The Uniteds journeyed to St. Thomas. There they entered
the game four imen short, and still put up a stiff battle against the
Kickers: When the contest was over, ' the St. Thomas squad was
, ahead 3-2. Uniteds need feel no disgrace about this, contest in
which they were forced to play part of it without their goalie, who
was injured.
The Uniteds play their next and final game with the Maltese
Falcons at Agricultural Park; ' Saturday, October '7, at 4 p.m.
Let's have a good crowd out to support The Uniteds for their last
game of the season. They are ending their regular season schedule
in fifth place, amongst a 12 -team league,which they just entered
for the first time.
