Janice Grainger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Grainger of Richmond Hill, is getting tired of her :dad hogging the sporting spotlight. Grainger pere Liis presently involved in the Ontario Lawn Bowling :5Doubles Championships and will be participating in nthe Canadian Lawn Bowling rink championships on I August 26th. Just to even things up with her old :fdad, Janice participated in the Central Ontario Sec- ‘- tion free skating championships held on August 13th 2‘ at East York Arena.

Still, we can’t help making them; it’s the human thing to do. The Metro Major Fastball League games staged in Rich- mond Hill this year have been a softball filbert’s delight. They nearly always start smack on time, give or take a couple of minutes, and are over in an hour and a half to an hour and forty minutes. Teams hustle in from the field and hustle out just as fast when they are going out to the field. Warm-up pitches are taken promptly and the batters called quickly to the plate. The end result is a game that keeps spectators coming back week after week for more of the same, and getting it. 0n the other hand, any game that doesn’t start close to time runs into all kinds of unnecessary delay and lasts for over the two-hour mark is anathema to the average fan. He came primed for action, and when it isn’t forthcoming he goes home in a bit of a snit. Maybe he’ll be back next weekâ€"but not if something else happens along. ' One of the main issues in this light-turning-out incident was the difficulty created for spectators and players in finding their way out safely. The gentle- man who turned out the lights is big enough to con- cede that he goofed. He says that he should have left one set of lights on for a few minutes for safety geasons. In future this is exactly what he’s going 0 o. The whole incident was unfortunate and we hope that in future, games are over long before curfew time. If games start on or close to time and officials see that clubs attend to their knitting, then no game will need to last until 11 o'clock. And five gets you ten that besides spectators enjoying the games more the players will get more enjoyment as well and play better softball! .

Did he rush home to hudd- le in front of the stove with his feet in a bucket of steam- ing water? Not on your life. It was all anyone could do to get him to stop fishing long enough to go up to the car and change into dry socks. Perhaps it is his enthusiasm that helps keep him so young for his years. He says when his day finally comes, he wants to go just as he slips the net unâ€" der 3 15 pound rainbow. Fishing is a sport that can be enjoyed from the age of two to one hundred and two. One of the most ardent anglers I know is a barnacled veteran of eighty-one. During the rainbow run, he is on the rivers every morning before daylight; des- pite the elements. Another aquaintance of mine is 82 years young. He still comes home with his count of ducks many days in the fall, can pick a crow out of a tree at 200 yards, and breaks “25 straight” on the trap range quite regularly. He states that when he gets his calling, he wants it to be as he breaks the last clay pigeon on his “100 straight". I enjoy hunting and fishing as much as any man and have full intentions of living to a ripe old age, but I rather fancy meeting my demise by being shot by a jealous husband when I’m 100 years old. NO STOPPING GEORGE Here’s a true story about a long time angling buddy of mine and the most enthusiastic bass fisherman I have ever known. We will simply call him George. A couple of years ago. George was like a man possessed as‘ opening day approached. He was shortly to become the proud father of a potential ang- ler, but all he could think of was spending opening night pacing back and forth in the expectant father’s ropm at the hospital. When the ball hit the ground. the umpire said nothing. He waited until the catcher touch- ed the ball, then, and only then, the umpire called fair ball. The batter still stood in his box, quite sure that a ball that lands in baék of home plate is foul. no matter where it may later roll. He insisted in arguing that because the ball struck the ground in back of the plate it was foul. His con- fusion caused him to be called out; and it also made me won- der, just how many people do not know the rule regarding the calling of a fair ball. You see, this batter was not an eight or nine year old. He play- ed juvenile ball, with players up to 18 years of age. This is what amazed me, that an eight- een year old player would not know what constitutes a fair hit. Do you? The score was tied, and the batter was in his box, ready for the pitch. The pitcher wound up and let go a dandy. The bat cracked, and the ball fell at the feet of the batter. Then it took a crazy hop, and bounced out in front of the plate. The catcher ran out, scooped up the ball, threw to first. and the bat- ter was out. Sounds like a normal story. doesn't it? The funny part is this. The batter never moved toward first base. He made no effort to beat the throw. You see, he thought that the hit was a foul ball. Umpires above all others should certainly know this rule. They must have a clear and exact understanding of how to call every hit, fair or foul. Some of the hits can be a little Newmarket And District Soccer Results @Bfitgd3@g;°§ But George's prayers were answered. A bouncing baby boy arrived on the day before the season opened.

MUPIII mmo‘:44433333342A BY DAN PILCHER When he awakened in the hospital bed early next morning, it took him a few moments to figure out what had happened and where he was. Then the terrible realization dawned on him that bass season had been open for some hours and he had yet to wet a line. George wasn’t feeling up to scratch as he visited his wife in the hospital that evening, but he figured a scrappy bass on the end of the line would fix whatever ailed him. As he sat by her bedside he was suddenly stricken with a searing pain in his side, which left him doubled up on the floor. George was forthwith rushed the few feet to the operating room where he had a ruptured appendix removed within the hour. with silver spoons in their mouths, but these have a set of treble hooks on one end. George then rolled out of bed. somehow got into his clothes and limped dwn the deserted hospital corridor and out to his car. Within minutes he had picked up a friend and they were soon out on a nearby lake casting for bass. It was only a few casts later that George tied into one of those old grandaddies sulking under the lily pads and after a real battle, finally landed the brute which weighed 5% pounds. In the excitement and con- fusion of the fish flopping around the bottom of the boat, George forgot he had just had an operation and strained a bit too hard. The fresh stitches ripped out and he was immedia- tely soaked in blood. George writhed in agony on the bottom of the boat; one hand clutching his side and the other his fish. His friend, firmly convinced he was about to have a corpse on his hands, rowed so frantic- ally for the shore he broke both oarlocks. The simple ruling is this. You judge the call by watching where the ball lands if past third or first. You judge the call by watching where the ball is first touched, or stops, be- fore first or third. And, a ball that strikes the base, is fair. This is of course what con- fused the batter in the above case. The ball landed foul, but rolled fair, and there it was touched by the catcher. His act of touching it on fair ground, made that hit a fair ball. In the case of a rolling ball that stays on the line, going foul, then fair, how do you call it? Remember this. You don’t, not until it is touched, or stops. Then, and only then. can you tell if the hit is fair or foul. As long as it is rolling untouched. you do not know where it will go, so you cannot call the play. Fair or foul, you call them all. Make sure that you know how. He then peeled to his under- wear; leaped over the stern and kicked boat, George and bass the rest of the way to shore. He rushed George back to the hospital, where he was prompcly re-stitched and chain- ed to the bed giving him an opportunity to gather material for his book “How to be Un- popular with Yofir Surgeon". tricky, so I advise all umpires, and coaches. to take out your rule book, and read this rule once again. Now let’s see you match wits with the umpire. How would you call this play? There are runners on second and third, and the batter tries a squeeze bunt. He seoots for first, dropping his hat on the way. The ball, however, rolls into his bat. and you note that the batter did not intentionally interfere. How would you rule? Does he get first only, do any runs score, does the ball remain in play, or is he cut? You’re the umpire, call the play. A new ruling makes the bat- ter out, intentional interference or not. Send the runners back to their bases. call the batter out, and the ball dead. Two years ago. you would be safe to make this a judgment play, but it now is mandatory. The batter is out if the ball hits the bat twice, in fair territory. hum--- n.0-0-0.‘ Our-«-mr-v-mmoom For Fast Results, Consult The Real Estate Brokers listed in “The Liberal” every Thursday SELLING YOUR ASPHALT PAVING HOME?
