And for those who might have missed the scores between the Shell and opposition teams: Shell’s got it pretty good losing 8-5 to St. Thomas and getting thumped 9-2 by Windsor. The question it did bring up was how come Hughes have no trouble in the once powerful Beaches Fastball League and have had plenty of difficulties in tournaments with out of town teams this season. - “I could only state an opinion that the calibre of ball must be slipping in the Beaches League,” said Ron. Must admit to being disappointed because I figured the team might just come up with some superlative ball and represent the Hill in world championship competition this season. But t'was not to be. And no one really knew too much about the calibre of ball played by Windsor and Welland although everyone knew St. Thomas had pitcher Dick Hames and would be tough. “No doubt about it that Windsor beat us good and soundly,” said an obviously disappointed Shell Manager Ron Nicholson when I contacted him via the phone. “They have one of the best hitting clubs I’ve seen around here.” And it was during this time that I picked up a newspaper and read the sad news that Tom Hughes Shell team didn't do so well at that Ontario Fastball Tournament a couple weeks ago at the town park. Phew. Just back from one of those exhausting holidays we humans go on. The kind you try to pack a lifetimerinto and succeed. By JIM IRVING STICKING to the straight and narrow may well be the answer for golfers seeking a win in the 44th Ontario Am- ateur at the Summit Golf and Country Club. July 26 to 29. At least that's the opinion of Rick Allan. assistant pro at the club. in describing the par 71, 6,550-ya1‘d. tree-lined course. The Summit is situated on Highway 11, about four miles north of Richmond Hill. “If you go to sleep. you‘re finished." said Allan. “You can‘t spray your shots; it's a fairly tight course and you have to be straight.“ BESIDES the many trees. golfers have to be especially wary on the fifth. sixth, seventh and eighth holes. where a had shot could put them onto Bayview Avenue Summit T 0 Host 44th Ontario Amateur 9144 YONGE ST. 889.1189 JUST SOUTH OF RICHMOND HILL ‘ SUMMER TIME BAKER’S OVER 60 BRAND NEW '66 RAMBLER CARS SECOND SECTION It’s All In The Game Weak Beaches League AMERICAN AS LOW AS $2183 CLASSIC AS LOW AS $2356 AMBASSADOR SAVE UP To $1000 Get Those Pitchers 1 SPORTS on one side and into the neighboring municipality of Gormley on the other. “You miss one shot and it’s a double bogey,” Allan said.

In match play, the golfers play by the hole, whereas in medal play, the overall score decides. The Amateur. which is ex- pected to attract some of On- tario‘s top golfers‘ including six-time and present cham- pion, Nick Weslock, will also have four members of the Summit Club taking part. The four who qualified are the brothers Peter, 18 and Brian Turner, 28; John Robb, 20; and Jim Petropoulos. Another top junior, Jim Dysapt of Richmond Hill, just missed the cutoff.

Shopsy’s started early by bunching three hits in the first inning when Wally Sobchuyk, Jake McLean and Phil Waters all hit safely. Big hitters for Shells were Mugford and DeGeer with three apiece.
