OR' Wh*itby Fre ePress Player. of the Week Dave McWhirter Dave is one oi the srnallest members of the Big Macs but has surprising stamina for his size. Quite versatile he has won several important games on -the mound for the Big Maces, fis in at first base. and does. a good job patrolling the outfieid. As a pit- cher he relies mainly on his fast bail and throws the bail surprisingly hard for bis size. Dave can also be a threat at the plate and is a fine base- runner, and is a hustier whenever he's in the game. He bats and throws left and was a member of the 1970 Knights of Columbus club, Ontario Tyke "A" Champions. Dave, who lives at 937 Donovan Crese., is a st udent at Henry St. Hiýh Schoo1.

The Legionaire Pee-Wees were dropped by Peterborough while the Canadian Tire club went down to Cobourg ini a bitteriy coniested series which went the three gaine lirnit. At Cobourg's Donegan Park the Tiremen lost the opener 6 - 3 on Tuesday. The action carne ight back to Whitby the next nighit with Steve Sarg- inson performing an "iron man" pitching chore going to the rnound for the second successive night and he came up wiîh a solid performance as hc hcid Cobourg in check as Whitby won 6 - 2 to tie the senies and force a third game in Cobourg on Sunday. The Whitby contest was marred by an ugly outbursi in the eighth inning when the Cobourg club became incensed when a solid hit to right field which roiied onto Cochrane St. was ruied, correctly, a ground rule double. The ruling is made dlear to ail clubs visiting the park, and there is not a fragment of douht the cail by the umpîre was the correct one, but it îriggered feelings which had been brewing ail evening. Aiîhough it "takes two" to make any argument, the Cobourg club in this in- stance has to take complete responsibîlity for initiating the mdcce which followed. The scene was set for the series final in Cobourg on Sunday and again coach Gord Forrester cailed on Sarginson who came up with anoîher fine performance. Fie held Cobourg to five hits, but two of these were tor extra bases and drove in runs. le struck oui eight, while his mates got eighit hits.

In the second game, played at Peel Park, the Whitby club, fought to corne from. behind a 4 - 1 deficit to tie the score in the sixth inning. A turning point in the game was a squeeze play that went sour. The squeeze, where the man on third runs with the pitch, demands perfect execu- tion and the batter must make contact with the bail at al costs, but sometimes even with major leaguers it doesn't turn out that way, the batter misses the bail and the catcher is waiting at the plate with the bail to tag the runner who has committed himseif. Larry Chizen and Mike Welling, who 'shared pitching duties in this last game for the Legionai res this season, struck out 14 batters and yielded six hits. For Whitby, Greg Puchalski, Larry Chizen and Paul Jeffer each had a pair of safeties, while Gary Shearer, Murray McCorkell and Greg Rich icked up singles. Aithough the season has corne to, an early close for the Legionaires they had a fine showing in 74 despite several obstacles. Thcy ended up in third place in the E.O.B.A. Pee-Wee race with 16 wins, 5 losses and a tie game. The club was affected by the very serious problem confronting local basebail, the difficuiîy in getting wiiling and know- iedgeable coaches and the season was neanly underway before tiis problemn was resolved by Bill Puchaiski and Gord Hanna who took over the club to provide excellent coaching and managing. The E.0.B.A. Pee-Wee schedule this seaSon was a strange concoction, with such things as the L-egionaires playing five ganies in their first sixteen days, and going at one point nearly three we eks without a home date, and this schiedule coupled withi the atrocious weather earlier on, got the club off to a slow start as il did others no doubt. llowever Puchaiski and Hanna did a greai job with the boys and gided thern b a good showing. 'Fhi Legionaires were a '"first yeai" club this season with aimios the coinplete rosierrmade up of boys just oout of the Tyke raîîks, su witli the experience they've gained this year, nexi scason should be a banner year for the club. The Big Macs who finishied in the top spot ini the E.O.B.A. lîantarn series were awarded a bye in the first playoff round and will micci the winners of Oshawva and Peterborough. lu the otiier round Belleville is meeting Kingston.
