The three point shot in basketball has many saying it will change the game. The new rule will make basketball better, because it allows more players to become involved. Five years ago only huge, tall men who could play the inside power game were effective and guards were becoming useless or at least a liability. The outside shot has quickend the pace and opened more fast -break opportunities. In addi- tion, if your team is down by six, you are only two shots away from a tie, the three pointer has made the game more exciting. I would like to see the rule come to Cana- dian colleges and high schools. I am short and white and I have a soft spot in my heart for a pure shooter. It takes years of dedication and practice to excel at any sport .and it takes in- telligence. and mental toughness to con- tinue to compete at a high level, equipment or rule changes will never alter that. Spoonerisms : Wilf Denomme won the draw held by the Jr. C Sailors for a trip for two to Cleveland , to watch the Indians play Boston on Aug. 28, 29. Mrs Williamson pulled his name out of the hat. I am looking forward to watching the Blue Jay's new pitcher 48 year old, knuckleballer Phil Niekro. There is never a dull moment with a knuckleball pitcher on the mound. Wild pitches, passed balls, stolen bases and batters walking around scratching their heads are the order of the day when you have a pitcher who can make the ball dance. I recently received game sheets for some sort of female baseball league. Try as I may I could not figure them out. In one set of sheets it was a game between Goderich and Vanastra and I figured out that Tammy went three for four and had a great game. However, I don't know !Tammy's last name, I don't know what type of ball she was playing–fastball, hardball, baseball or slowpitch, I don't know the name of her team and I don't know if she is a child, a girl, a woman or a elderly lady. It iS difficult enough trying to write an interesting report from sheets and I need as much information as you can give me. Call me at 524-2614 ex 17 and tell me about your team Slow pitch tourney a hit BY EARL PENNINGTON When was the last time you went to a ball game and saw one of the teams dressed in hard hats and ties, or saw people swimm- ing in right field at the Fastball diamond? If you had been at the Men's Slowpitch Tournament on the August long weekend, you would have seen these and other hap- penings going on all weekend. Forty-eight teams from across Southwestern Ontario played a total of 92 games for $5,000:00 in cash prizes. This year's tournament was run by the Goderich Elevators ball team and work assignments were given to each team in the league. The league should be proud of how hard its teams worked to help make this one of the most successful tour- naments the league has held. The dance on Saturday was standing room only and Marty Rivett from Dungan- non was the D.J. He kept the crowd jumping. The Black Apple Reproductions from London won the "AA" division worth $550.00. Mom's Kettle from London won the "AB" division worth $350.00, while the Port Albert Bulldogs won the "BA" and also collected $350.00. The "BB" division was won by the Buzzards of London who edged out the Chiefs for the $250.00 cash prize. Altogether, it made for a great weekend of baseball and just having fun, which is what slowpitch is all about. - The Elevators would like to gide a special thanks to our wives who helped out at the tournament. Without their help and patience our job would have b en tougher. Goderich hosts OSS event for pacing._ colts Goderich Raceway will host a $35,250 Ontario Sires Stakes event for two-year-old pac- ing colts Thursday, August 13th. Post time is 7:30 p.m. A total of 27 colts wea entered here today splitting the big purse into four divisions. Featured among the entrants is the top OSS colt Skip Killean. Skip Killean, who has earned $37,927 already in this his freshman campaign, had been undefeated in the five OSS previous to last week's Woodstock test. However a difficult post position, odd fractions and a tough trip ended that as he finished second. His owners are sure to be looking to improve that performar.ce this Thursday. The problem for Skip Killean is that he has drawn the seven trailing post position and that he is up against some other tough colts. Facing Skip Killean will be Woodstock OSS winner Bando Phoenix and two time OSS victor Gerabell Pat. Lesters Dream, ownedby Kevin Carter of Clinton, Ont., won a quali- fying race in 2:06.3 last week over the Goderich track and he has also drawn into this division. Another division is highlighted by two Woodstock OSS winners going head to head. These are the colts 1 m Herb, now three for three lifetime ( Woodstock was his first stakes start) and Bio Time. Bio Time has been racing the province wide OSS circuit all season, but that Woodstock victory was also his first in stakes company. Bob Hamather of Zurich, Ont., will see his highly thought of colt Caught Foolin race in a division also. Hamather, who owns -car dealerships and several bgsinesses in the Ex- eter areas, said recently that this colt was given his name because he was foaled on April Fools Day. Hamather is a well known owner having conpaigned Willow Wiper and No No Abby. Goderich Raceway extends a special invitation to everyone to come out Thursday night and see these exceptional Ontario Sires Stakes col .s perform.

Mrs. Bruce was a charter member of the club and later became an honorary life member. She was an avid golfer until in her late 80's when for health reasons she regretfully had to stop playing. However, she left a legacy m the love of the game, - which she passed along to her family.

Other winners were John Stringer, Dave Almasi, Tom Moore, Fred Jewell, Gerry Morgan, Ralph Neville and Bill Graham. On ladies' night, the competition for points on "Bingo-Bango-Bongo" was a game everyone enjoyed. Top winner with 13 points was Auleen Curry. Tied for 12 points were Marie Huff and Jean Hanly. Then a three-way tie for 11 points was won by Ardith Brissette, Pauline McKellar and Edna Looker. Maxine Martin and Jean Bell played in the Wingham Invitational last Wednesday.

The Mosquitos dropped a 6-2 decision to Grand Bend and the Squirts were nipped 1-0 by Seaforth. Jeff Klages and Jeremy Penn scored the goals for the Mosquitos. Despite the one- sided score, coach Mike Cicchini felt the goaltending by Penn in the first half and Donny Rivers in the second, was outstanding. Danny Smith was the .most dangerous forward for the, Squirts, but lacked support at crucial times. Tim Powell played a strong tiro -way game and Brad Black was steady in goal.
