ved to be welcome entertainment for the
many people celebrating Goderich
Township's 1-5-0. Summer is the time for
outdoor recreation and the celebrations in-
cluded a full. slate ' evening ball games.
These games from July. 15 to 19 brought in
neighboring community teams as well as a
full township contingent:' " '
Onthe evening of July 15, Ray Bush and'
Ted Johnston arranged slo-pjtch games
between various service clubs in the area.

Holmesville but had a lot of fun in the pro-
;cess.•The Tipperary and Union areas joined
forces -to play SS 1,, VLA but diad not have suf-

to their opposition. The Porter's Hill
"Backwoods" team was pitted against SS'4
and came up victorious. All teams were

could move between the bases. The teams
certainly brought their own cheering sec -

draw. At 9:00 the Goderich Township Slo-
pitch ..team bra ely began their Challenge
against the ,famous Wingham CKNX
TryHards. It proved to be a very entertain-
ing game. Abbott was told by the TryHards
that this match, with a crowd of over 1,200
people, had the largest audience that they
have ever had at any 6f their games. The
size indicated the interest 'paid throughout

and cheered but could not encourage
anything more than a tie.
The evening of July 18 was devoted to
women's slo-pitch games. Peggy Parks ar-
ranged games between Seaforth and Varna
with Varna the victor. Holmesville
generously acted as perfect hosts to the Sifto
Salt team and allowed thier visitors a 30-0
win. Clinton was put against Vanastra and
squeaked to a close victory.
Hardball games were played on the last
evening. The ladies' township group went
against the Clinton Sluggers. The Slugger
team's strength overpowered the township
ladies to earn them their triumph. A
township men's team concluded their two
game series with Tuckersmith Township.
No scores wee found but it was felt the
large local crowd supportinjected the extra
energy needed -by the home crew to win.
Good croVmds attended all the games.
Scores were not a •m ljgdr concern since
everyone felt they came ‘out winners
whether they participated or - were active
spectators. May it not take another 150
years to pass before a fun -filled. ;week of
sports activity is held in &oderich
Township.
