It was discouraging. Made me almost feel like giving golf up.” Andrea’s late season sags came on thelheelvs of her impressive al- though losing effort in the On- tario Junior Championships shortly before that. She Went right down to the finals before bowing out to her older opponent and club _memt_)_er. “I really went into a slump at the end of last summer,” said Andrea. She lives at 36 Star}ig_ht Liz Daniel, 5 and 3. A week earlier @119 had reversed the situation downing Liz for the Summit Club dhampicmship. “I ’went t5 the Chicago juniors after losing to Liz and I didn’t perâ€" form very well there either.

So she spent the winter â€"â€" most of it, anyway â€" at Kenny Girard’s golf school (he’s the club pro at Summit) perfecting, or getting back, her swing. “I wasn’t making good contact with the ball and Kenny worked on my swing. Of course," she added, “I’m in the middle of changing my swing. When you’re young you tend to just swing the club and you have to learn to do it the proper way.” ball properly,” she said No doubt about it. Miss Stoddart recovered her missing magic and came out fighting this summer. She tied for third in the Toronto City and Distn'ct Open ‘and went on to win the Ontario Junior Girls Championship at the Summit. Andrea was also the number one choice to represent Ontario in the Uhitred States Junior Girls Champâ€" ionship in Flint. Michigan. in August. \ What a difference a year makes “I think I have a better attitude this year, too,” she said. “I‘m just that much more mature which counts for a lot in golf. I don’t lose my temper as much 01' get so upset when I blow a hole. 1 “I try to forget about it and start fresh on the next hole. I don’t know why I’ve changed my attitude. I just feel better.” Drennen in the sixth inning with the Jewellers trailing 2-1 and had allowed no hits in his threeâ€"inning stint. With two men out Domik lashed a Sizzler down the line which was blocked by third baseman Pete McCarthy. He ‘they are better than you’. well, you’re behmd before you start.” Andrea is well aware that the competition will be strong in the United States with 140 of the best junior girls \‘ieing for honors.. .1 “But I just, have to remember to play each hole the best way I can and not worry about my opponent." . . ‘ ..~ A 1 Andrea, who is a grade 13 stud- ent at Richmond Hill High School. is planning to become a physical education teacher. But she’d also like to take a whirl at the pro golf circuit. “I’d like to try it for awhile.” she said. “But I wouldn’t want to make a career out of it. There's too much travel involved. But it would be nice for awhile.” Andrea has been playing golf since she was 11 years old when her father first took her to Up- lands Golf and Country Club to match shots with the rest of the family . For golfing has become almost a tradition with the Stoddai'ts. who besides Mr. and Mrs. W. D.‘ Stodâ€" dart. number five girls and one boy, and all of them are pretty good at swinging a club. Andrea’s sister, Nancy, won the junior championship four years ago. VVOFollowing the interview, Andrea left for the Summit to take some golfing lesspns with _1\_Ir. Girard. [couldn‘t control the drive and the ball squirted a few feet ‘au‘ay from him allowing Down- [ing to score and sending Dickie 'to third. . This tied the game at 2-2 *with DeGeer at bat. Colley’s first pitch to DeGeer was wild land Dickey came scuttling ihome with the winning run. Domik scrambled to third on the play. Toronto Plating then decided to walk both DeGeer and next man up Mickey Hancock to load the bases. Domik and DeGeer then scored on two successive Plating infield errors. It was game over for Toronto then as Domik set them down in order in the bottom of the ninth to round out his impres- sive “no-hit” showing after In lady W restiers Feamre 0% Saturday Card Hem Wrestling afficionados in Richmond Hill and area are promised the thrills of a life- time in the new arena August 17 tthis Saturday‘ at 8.45 pm.

Larry Guio and Bren Selvage shared the Kent pitching chores in the title-winning game against Morrison's in a pl-e-ar- iranged plan to give each some :WOl'k prior to the OASA and lleague play-offs. Guio started and went five innings allowing one hit. a triple and had no runs creditedl against him.

As far as I’m concerned, anyway. Just got back from a two-week course in survival. Some refer to it as a holiday. Yuck! And the return found the house in its usual disorderly shape. Bits and pieces of paper and information about this and that scattered hither and yon. Am in possession of a colorfully packaged pub- licity release from Labatt's (Mmmmh) having to do with the “Canadian Senior Men’s Softball Champ- ionship” in St. Catharines August 30, 31 and Sep- tember 1 and 2. ‘ It’s the fourth annual show of its kind and the grand winner will represent Canada in the United States World Championship tournament next year in Hawaii. ‘ Representing Ontario in the St. Catharines tourney. of course, will be the Richmond Hill Dynes Jewellers who won the right by winning the All- Ontario Championship in Windsor a few weeks ago. St. Catharines, as host team, will also be represented by an entry. Tournament convenor Lloyd Alguire, vice-presi- dent of the Canadian Amateur Softball Association, states there will be at least eight and possibly nine teams taking part. Single e31t1‘ies will come from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick, and the two Ontario squads. 0n the line will be the Labatt’s trophy which was won in Saskatoon last year by the Winnipeg Canadians. Alguire says that Labatt’s will also be providing a runner-up trophy, replicas for all players on the winning and second-place teams. There will also be imlividual awards made to the most valuable player, top pitcher and hitter. Games will be played at Lancaster Park with a min- imum of 14 games to be played, ’HILL MEETS SASKATCHEWAN The Jewellers kick off against Saskatchewan Saturday at 10 am and go on from there. The squad is slated to arrive in St. Catharines Friday night for a “meet the teams” banquet. Richmond Hill will undoubtedly find the going on the rugged side but there’s no reason why this team can’t come up with all the marbles. That’s if they play as a unit as was the case in Winflsor. In a tournament like this the outcome is always in doubt even if you play good ball and take advantâ€" age of all the breaks and make every hit count and eliminate errors. If you don’t, well, it’s sidelines- ville. PITCHING THE KEY V , Pitching will in all likelihood be the determining factor and the Jewellers can match most clubs. in the country and surpass a lot of them in this depart- ment. THE MASKED ASSASSIN Going for them will be Bob Domik wholplayed tremendously in the Windsor tourney and who per- sonally made the trip to St. Catharines possible. Backing him up will be young Billy Drennen who is in his first full season of senior ball. This righthander is already one of the best around and the opposition must shudder to think that he will undoubtedly improve with maturity. Then there’s that Oshawa Tony phenom, Pete Landers, who will be added to the lineup. Being able to go with this left-hander and c0uple him with two righthanders like Domik and Drennen is just about the best thing you could have going for you. WEAKEST .LINK The entire team will have to be going all out behind them because you’re only as good as the weakest link in such a tournament. "Beh’tfiiirrnagine the hits will be that easy to come by and therefore the ones the Jewellers get better be bunched.
