The Sports Clinic An Official Department of Sports College TARGET CONTROL PITCHING Any big league manager will tell you that the two most important fundamentals of effective pitching are control and a fast ball. Here’s a training system you can use to develop both. Have a catcher stand behind the plate with his feet spread the width of the plate. Have him stand up to catch with his knees only slight- ly bent, 'not.from the crouch posi- tion. A catcher in this position gives you an ideal target to shoot at. By aiming the ball at either his shoulders or his knees you can hit the ideal pitching targets â€" the corners of the plate. By pitch- ing your strikes in these spots you are throwing the hall where it is hardest 'to hit. Each day after your warmâ€"up. throw 16 speed balls and try to make each one faster than the last. Throw 4 balls at his left shoulder. 4 at his right shoulder, 4 at his left knee and 4 at his right knee. Then count up the times you ac- tually hit your target. When you get so that you can hit your target 12 times out of 16 you will know that you are getting real control. This practice will not only im- prove your control, but it will also develop your speed. To throw more than 16 times at top speed is not necessary. If you throw this number of speedballs and try to make each one faster than the last it will give your arm just the right amount of work, and if your arm gets the right amountiof work. it will gain in strength and power. Try this stunt for a week or two and see for yourself how your con- trol and speed will increase. LOB IT BACK, DON’T SMASH IT Whenever the average tennis player has to run hard to get a ball that has been well placed out of reach usually his only thought is to get the ball back over the net, which he returns harder than us- ual. When you are returning a shot that has forced you out of position loan Marinolf Ends Game For Elgin 8-5 Joan Marinoff, second-base play- er on the Elgin Mills Girls' Soft- ball team, ended Monday night’s seven-inning’s game when she deft’fy caught the final strike made by the Cedar Grove team, leaving the score 8 to 5, favour of our girls. Rena Morrison pitched and Irene Mashinter was catcher for the Elgin Mills team while Tommy Mashinter did a good job of umpir- mg. Pitching for Cedar Grove was Audrey Muirson. Marion Beare was the catcher. Wednesday of last week our local girls had a close game with Peaches but won the game with a score of 6 to 5. The Elgin Mills girls are now in second place for the semi-final play-offs which begin at the Jef- ferson diamond next Monday night at 7 pm. sharp! The teams winning 2 out of 3 games in the semi-finals will later try for the best 3 games out of 5 in the finals. n. c. A. Vic'ron * WE OFTEN OOZE COURTEOUS TELEVISION RICHMOND HILL - TAXI - We‘d like to see our Elgin Mills team come out on (Under New Management) CALL TO. 4-1103 BUT NEVER. CLOSE S E I! V I C E COMPLETE INSTALLATION l Conducted by Lloyd Percival the best plan is to use a lob, which you should place as deeply in your opponent's court as possible. Only return a shot of this type hard when your opponent is out of pos- ition. Remember, whenever a place- ment from your opponent draws you well out of position use a high lob since such a shot will give you lots of time to get back into posi- tion for your opponent‘s next re- turn. AVOID FOOT FATIGUE In tests at Sports College we have found that endurance per- formances can fall off by as much as 50 per cent. if the athletes wear shoes that do not properly support their feet. As far as footwear is concerned. for any game demanding the use of rubber soles we recommend the B. F. Goodrich “P-F" shoe because it stands up under the most care- ful comparative testing.

Bill Hamilton Can’t Quit Stock Car Racing Activity had just ceased at a re- cent' Pinecrest Speedway Wednesâ€" day night meet and Guelph’s Bill Hamilton was busy surveying the damage to his No. 37 stock car on the No. 7 highway track. “You gotta be in the money ev- ery night â€"- the first six in the feature race, that is â€"â€" to make money at this business,” said Ham- ilton, “and you have to have luck to do that â€" and lots of it." Hamilton, who celebrated his 22nd birthday two days ago (Aug- ust 26 to be exact), had just been the anchor man in a four-car pile- up before making the above stateâ€" ment. He collected a busted rad- iator, water pump, intake manifold. distributor and shock absorber as well as a banged-in rear end for his trouble that evening. During the previous seven days. William had registered two fea- ture wins in three meets and that’s not bad for a guy who races stock cars for a hobby. “I don’t think I'll ever amount to anything as a driver,” admitted Hamilton, “and I've been going to quit every year since I started in 1950. But I like it and can't quit." Hamilton got into stock car ra- cing the day after he saw his first race at Gait â€" and won his first heat. He has been a regular par- ticipant at the Saturday and Wed- nesday evening shows at Pinecrest. Outside of toiling as a mechanic in his dad's garage on the outskirts of Guelph, Bill spends the bulk of his remaining hours as a stock jock. He has seen action at Brantford, Ancaster and Wasaga Beach in his short career. If you want to see this gent. who loves a sport so much he can’t quit. keep an eye peeled for Bill and his No. 37. He‘s on hand every Saturday and Wednesday shortly before the 6.30 pm. starting time and has been giving many of the more experienced pilots at Pine- crest plenty to worry about as he climbs steadily in the $1,000 Car~ ling trophy point race. And, make no mistake about it, Hamilton could end up the winner. R.

Von Sieber outweighed Tom consider- ably, but Sullivan made up for it in out and out "rough house". Baron Gets lst Fall Von Sieber opened the first fall with a scissors Sullivan got out of it by removing sundry sections of the Von Sieber skin with his teeth. Von Sieber didn‘t take kin- dly to this, or to the kicking spree that followed it. He bent Thomas back over the ropes and slashed him one on the bean. Sullivan produced a chunk of paper from his trunks and started working Von Sieber over again. Then Waldo got mad. He caught Tom in a fast head chancery and gave him two kneelifts to the face. A quick and powerful body slam, followed by a knee press gave Von Sieber the first fall Reluctant Sullivan Sullivan was rather reluct'ant to come out of his corner for the second fall (understandably). How- ever he did manage to screw up enough courage, and after run- ning into a few preliminary face flips by Waldo, he clamped on a horse mouth from the rear. Un- fortunately he got one of his fin- gers too far into Von Sieber‘s mouth, and the Terrible Teuton set his teeth in it like a rat trap. Shaking his dented digit in a fas- cinated manner, Sullivan retreated once more. He grabbed a handful of sawdust and scrubbed Von Sieâ€" ber‘s eyes with it, then took off for safer climes. He didn’t take off fast enough though. and Wal- do caught him in an aeroplane spin. then clunked him solidly on his napper on the canvas The in- evitable pin followed, and the match went to Waldo. The Final Deal “Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day“ â€" but no more wrestling looms on the horizon. The final card has been dealt and the deck was stacked the wrong way. However. it was good while it lasted, and the future is open to possibility. People's Hero A joyous shout of welcome ac- claimed the entrance of “‘Gentle- man” Al Orlando, the People's Hero. in the second main bout. At least he was the people’s hero on Tuesday when he fought Juan Lo- pez Two past masters in the art of ring villiany, Orlando and Lopez ln Rough Match kicked, scratched. bit and punched their respective ways through a match to end all matches. Orlando took the first fall with a body slam and top spread. but not before he'd been hammered dizzy in the ring corners .and well jellied by the mean mannered Mexican mite. Al recovered slowly, then forced Lopez into a corner and softened him up with a few elbow slams before applying the body slam to take the fall. Fall For Lopez Lopez ran things his own way in the second round. Orlando caught him in an arm twist and was tryâ€" ing valiantly to wind it up anti- clockwise when a hard foot came sailing up from the floor and plunked into his stomach. Al sort of failed away like a dying duck and sagged over the ropes Then he toppled to the cement. Dazed, he crawled back in, then met a chop to the throat and dropped into a reverse Mexican neck twist by Lopez. Veterbrae grinding noisily, he conceded the fall. The third fall and the match went to Lopez. Orlando did his best. He caught Juan in a varia- tion of the standing surfboard, then changed it to a double ham- merlock Lopez then lifted his head suddenly and banged Orlan- do on the forehead with it. Need: less to say Al let go in a hurry. Lo- pez then bounced him around a little and clamped on his Reverse Mexican Neck Twist again. Oblig- ingly referee MacArthur stopped the bout and awarded it«to Lopez. Orlando rose then, shaking right- eously denounced the referee in no uncertain terms. It seems he hadn’t given up and wasn't ready to lose the bout However, the referee stuck to his guns and dis- playing his “get thee gone varlet" glare stalked OR to the dressing room. Al trailed disconsolately behind him. Preliminary Bouts The bounding Frenchman Ja- ques DuBois met Joe “Scissors” Greenfield in a two out of three falls match in the second prelim- inary and lost by a hair â€" or we should say a leg. Joe's body scis- sors pulped our scalped friend thoroughly and the submission came easily. DuBois got caught in the scissors when he missed a fly- ing drop kick. In the first preliminary Don George beat Jack Flicker with his own version of O’Connor‘s Octo- pus Clamp, or a standing reverse toe hold. filmedâ€"Classic "98" Holiday Coupe IIllIOIlIIlIIlE A GENERAL MOTORS VALUI THE LIBERAL.
