World Series over

The World Series concluded
last.,$tinclay vvith _the Pakland_
A's winning a thriller 3-2. Six of
the seven games were decided oy
,one run. After witnessing the
Canada -Russia hockey series
• just a few weeks ago, the tension
'nearly got to me.
Gene Tendee, perhaps one of
tliemost unlikeliest peopleof all
,,to win:the MVP (TYIPSt
Player Award) was literally a
one-man wrecking crew for the
• A's as he drove in 9 of the A's .
15 runs in the series.
The pitching of Oakland sur-
prised the Reds who were
heavily favoured. Before the
start of the final game, Reds'
Manager Sparkly Anderson
acknowledged to A's manager
• Dick Williams, that the
Oakland staff was the best ,the
Reds had faced all year. Jim
"Catfish" Hunter, John "Blue
Moon" Odom, Vida Blue, Ken
Holtzman and Roland 'Rollie"
Fingers were outstanding aS'
they kept the first three batters,
in the Cinncinati line-up off the
bae-paths for most of the hard-
fought series.
The series concluded two of
the most hectic weeks of
baseball in history'as five of the
• ten play-off games were decided
by one run the week before. The
only thing wrong with a. series
such as the one we have wit-
nessed is.the fact that there has
- °to be --A -loser.
Certainly Sparky Anderson
• and Dick Williams are both
gracious winners and/or losers
and always have time for
' everyone. ,
The National Hockey League
is now into its third week wi.th-
surprises and disappointments
evident thus far.
Detroit and Buffalo have got-
ten off to excellent starts and
are at the top of their division.
Similarly, Pittsburgh has a
string of five victories already in
the West. Montreal is perfor-
ming as expected but Boston

Excellent team - play, wiih

The recently founded Huron
Soccer Association held its first
meeting on Monday evening at
the Goderich and District
Collegiate Institute. Guests at
the get together were Peter W.
Jackson president of the.London
and District Soccer Association,
James Agathos, secretary of that
associatim aldAlfred 4ohnson,...
'secretary of the London branch
of Ontario Referees.
The guests rpm London
spoke to the group on various
problems facing league
organization in both the senior
and minor divisions. It was
agreed that if enough support
can be found Huron should
form its own senior loop as a
league in membership with the
London and District Soccer
Association.
The London' Association
promised every assistance in set- '
ting up the new league and told
Huron orgat14ers that in time,
when the league was on its ret,
they would recommend to the
Ontario Soccer Association' that
• Huron be allowed to form its
own independent association.
If Huron was not able to form
dnough teams to operate its own
league, a minimum of four, it
was also nqinted out that they
would be welcomed in the Lon-
don Assoclation:0*AjtyjtioR_
At the moment organizers
hope to see at least two teams
from Goderich as well as o'he
from Seaforth and one frbm

Goderich Recreation Director
Mike Dyniond attended Monday
evening's meeting and promised
• all assistance possible' through
his office. From his facilities,let-
ters are to be sent out to all the
various recreational agencies in
Huron, asking for participation.
In adaition to operating this
Senior league the new Huron
Soccer Association will be
operating ,minor soccer leagues
as well. There are "already more
than enough boVs.,in Goderich
alone who would like to play
and teams are known to exist
already in Seaforth' and
Dungannon.
In preparation for the up-
coming season coaches in the
association members wishing to
become referees, will be offered
clinics by the Ontario Soccer
Association free of charge.
At such coaches' clinics those
successful become third class
referees as well as having
received instruction in coaching
techniques for young people.
Referee clinics operated by the
O.S.A. turn out accredited
referees.
A further meeting is to be
held in the near future and all
interested soccer people 'from
across the county will be asked
to attend. A date has not been
set.
• chdeacon Jones -Bateman, Judge
Holt and Mr. George Bruce, a
summer resident, used to go
down to the Maitland River
flats'and,drive out balls. It was
they yvho actually suggested the
idea of starting a worse there.
, Some of the other Goderich
residents who put a lot of time
and money into the formation of
the club were G.L. Parsons,C.C.

"all' nine holes
were in the space presently oc-
cupied by the first six holes.
Needless to sly it was a much
smaller course than at present,
but it had some tricky holes,
nevertheless.
For instance, the lone tree on
the fourth hole was much
bushier then and had a lot of
shrubbery around the base of
the trunk, which was used as a .
repcStory for bottles.. If you
werelucky, when "STU went into
the bushes to look ,for a ball,
you came out with a bottle --
and I don't mean pop! Just past
the tree was a large frog -pond
and ball retrievers were long
bamboo poles with baskets on
the ends.
There was also a short hole*of
130 yards called the Punch.
Bowl. A saucer -like green had
been cut into the hill, and there
were deep traps on either side of .
the green and thick shrubbery at
the back a very tricky hole.
Since its inception, the course
has been changed three times..
We have lost the frog -pond and
the Punch- Bovvl, but we have •
three extra holes 'on the lower
• river flats.
In the ,twenties, Walter
Hagan, who was visiting
Goderich cm a yacht, played our
course and shot a 29. During the
war, because of the British Com-
monwealth Air Training Plan,
we had a number of flying "
s,hools in the vicinity and as a
result had golfers from many
countries 'playing here.
Jock -McCartney and Jim
McLeod, -two Scottish pros, from
R.A.F. Station, Port Albert, ran
the club for a couple of years,
and there were always some hi-
jinks going on. .
Up until the 'hid -thirties, golf
had been considered ari old
man's game and as a result
there was nowhere near the
membership we now enjoy. The
original club house was an old
