' about the climate of New

Old Timers Play' Bal!
To Aid Labor day Parade
(By Leo Hagan)°"
This Centennial year in Sea
forth has brought back many
memories of years gone by --
years of building our town --
years of hardship — years of
Fun -•- years of seeing 'our town
grow and .the many, many
friendships that have been made
throughout time by those ,,w,ho
worked, who went 'to church
and those who played, which
brings ea- mind some . of the
great teams that have brought
honor to our town. One such
team ' is being lined -up, for a
big come -back next Saturday.
' In remeniscing back to th
1948 softball season many o
• you will recall that the Seaforth
Athletie Association sponsored
sport in those days and they
received a great deal of sup
port. Some of the officers were:
honorary president, James E:
Willis; President, W. T. Teall;
Past President, Geo. Johnson;
Vice -President, Enos Boshart;.
Treasurer, Reg. Henderson.
The previous year the team
was put out by. Winghain'end,
at the final game there were ap-
proximately 2,000 fans on•hand.
It was said at the time that the.
.noise was so great the umpires
just made signals as•they cal•
led that game Those were the
days when rivalry was high
with teams from Blyth, Clinton
a;d Gte efiet tenffeilia xiy
ers, Wingham, Clinton and Sea -
forth. The committee in charge
of the softball team were Gor-
don Mule„ William Srn`Ith and B.
F. Christie. The games were.
played at the Lions Park,
The members ,.,of tire .1948
championship ream were: ay

e The announcer at the home
f games was Fred "Scoop" Willis
and official scorer was Leo "Lee -
Hee" Hagan, '
With these great stars of that
- year and the stars of the hockey
season of this year clashing at, _.
tions Park on Saturday et 8
p.in., it la certainly a good rea-
son for all sport's ;minded fans' "
to be on hand. You are sure to
enjoy .it and at the same time
help out the forthcoming Labor
Day_ Cep enn a celebration.
The opening highh ight wilt he' -
by the Huron County Centen-
nial Queen,' Mary Altera .when
she pitches the first ball • to bat-
ter. Mayor Frank Kling. The

It is anticipated that all but
three of the 1948 crew will be a.
on hand Saturday night. During .-
that year Frank Kennedy pitch-
ed two no -hit games. There wag'
no gloves used during these
years, except by the catcher and
