Goddard singled scoring Smith and John McDonald's Kent’s big inning was the bottom of the sixth and they grabbed a 5-4 edge by shoving four runs across the plate. Wading opened the inning with a double and continued to third when the throw from Dor- ner was low and got away from Wood.

Richmond Hill Kent Clothes managed to split games last week as they edged Richmond Hill Auto Body 6-5 and lost 5-0 to Unionvillex‘ The split enabled Kent's to hold their position in the Rich- mond Hill and District Major Fastball League.

Last Tuesday at the town park the two local teams met and Kent's were rather fortun- ate to come away with a win.

You will have time for a lane change to avoid delay at traffic lights but avoid turning into the path of a car behind you. - Finally. pull up quickly where other: can see you when passing and never ride in the “blind spot" back of another car. Avoid staring at the car ahead and keep your eyes moving with quick glances at the wheels of the cars around you and your rear view mirror. Get in the habit of avoiding small ones. This advice from fleet safety supervisors comes from the fact that the average person finds it difficult to think of himself as a candidate for a serious accident. So he lets a traffic safety message go 1n one ear and out the other. It was meant for some other fellow. Well, dented fenders and scratches that happen to everyone as a result of driving faults are really just practice sessions for a major accident waiting to happen. The trainers of professional drivers instruct their students in three basic rules: 1 - Keep your eyes moving; 2 - Get the big picture; 3 - Make sure they see you. Out of 100 drivers in tests over the last 10 years, 97 left themselves wide open to an accident in their everyday driving by neglecting one or more of these rules.

It’s time to go. Guaranteed Repairs To All Makes 0f TVs Stereos, Etc. ’A source of irritation to me was the way the tournament games were set up by the OASA. For example: the Jewellers (or anyone else it applies to) won their first game and went into the “winner’s” bracket. Then when they lost toW-indsor-they were automatically out. even though they had lost only one game. Shopsy’s had two shots at it even though they lost both times. Doesn’t seem quite logical. Think it should be a straight double knockout but it’s not really for us to say. But it seems a little illogical to have your best teams face each other early and get knocked out. Takes a trifle away from the rest of the tournament. v "IN THE MALL" RICHMOND HEIGHTS CENTRE All in all it was a great tournament even though the Jewellers just couldn’t get untracked. It’s the oldest of old stories. These things happen and you can’t figure out why. I could visualize them losing but who would have believed they would lose the way they did? One thing about it. No one to blame but our- selves. When you can’t even get a scratch single over 14 innings you had better believe that you don’t deserve to win. I‘m still stitting here limply, sighing sighs, and wondering if I imagined it or if Richmond Hill Dynes Jewellers really did get two no-hitters thrown at them in the OASA Senior Fastball Tournament on the weekend. Yes. I guess it happened. Everyone assures me it did and it says right there in writing that the Jewellers were eliminated after two games and not even managing a hit while winning 1~0 against Moe Zubatiuk and Seven~Up Shopsy‘s and losing by the same score to Bill Noble and Windsor. Landers came up with a 4-0 no hit game over seven innings striking out 14 batters. Then he came right back and almost pulled off a win in the final game but the Gods chose to smile in London’s direction instead. A home run shot in the sixth inning by Ted Morrison won it 2-1 for London. Hames gave up five hits but as usual was murder in the clutch. LANDERS HOT Landers. for my money, was the best pitcher in the tournament and certainly one of the most worked. He was just great, simply great in that second to last game Sunday against London who must have thought they’d never get rid of the spectre of Landers facing them on the mound. Why did they have to do it to me? After I just got done picking them as favorites to win it all, after I took typewriter boldly in hand and stated the Jewellers had one of the strongest hitting lineups arOund. All that pOWer, that speed, that talent. But there’s nothing like grim reality and there was lots of that going for Dynes and other teams during the three-day tournament which turned out to be the spectacular it _was predicted it would be.

But the best ways of all to avoid a breakdown is to always keep your car in top mechanical condition with. proper preventive maintenance and careful driving habits. AND GOOD LUCK! 1. Decide whether you must stop or can limp to a service shop. ' Signal that you are in trouble. Set up attention-getting signals when the car is halted. Get off the road if possible. Determine nature of problem. Determine exact location of breakdown. Call for help. Return to your car and await servicemen. All this seems pretty obvious and just plain common sense, but it‘s surprising how many drivers don't follow these emergency procedures simply because they are either shaken or annoyed.

The first problem is to get off to the side of the road {which isn't as easy as it sounds in 70 mph Freeway traffic! at the first sign of an im- minent breakdown. And the attention of the following cars must be attracted and informed of your intention. This is often difficult because the monotonous nature of Freeway driving often causes a hypnotic effect to set in and the traffic moving around a driver becomes a steadily weaker stimuli to his conscious thoughts. Your job is to get the driver behind you off his “automatic pilot” by attracting his attentionâ€"and quickly. This can be done by activating your brake lights on and off. turn- ing on your emergency four-way flasher system. blow- ing your horn or by sticking your arm out the window and signalling in the good old-fashioned way. Once the car is brought to a safe halt the next step is to set up a substantial signal which will act as a caution and alert all other oncoming drivers. Flares. pylons, reflec- tors or flashing lights should be carried in the car at all times and set out in a manner that will announce your presence and guide the moving cars away from your car. In the absence of signal devices. raising the hood or trunk lid. turning on the signal lights or placing the spare tire on the road will attract attention. What next? If your car is not 'well off‘ to 'the side of the road. flag a car down and have your car pushed-to the shoulder or to the nearest exit. This done. determine whether the breakdown can be self~repaired: if not. make a complete review of exactly what happened leading up to the actual breakdown. Only then should the repairman be called. Give him a description of what, happened. the make and model of your car and its location. He will then be able to bring along the proper equipment and quickly come to the rescue. Recently. I was amazed and shocked to read that. fully 10% of all people killed on a certain eastern Turnpike were in or near cars that were standing still! I wonder how many of us Would know exactly what steps to take if the family car broke down on the Freeway tomorrow. “Standstill” accidents can be greatly minim- ized if drivers take a few simple precautions and realize that from the moment. a car breaks down to the time it has rejoined the mainstream of traffic,a situation exists that is loaded with danger.
