My schooling is going well, and I have successfully, completed a little over a month here in Florida. It was really hard walking walking on the baseball field with my 14 new teammates •that I had never met before. Since that day, I have made several friends, on the ball- club. Our team is comprised of about four players from each school around the area. The league covers Northern Pinellas County. After playing ball, here for a month, I feel much more comfortable. .This month is my first ep to The team I play for is the Blue Jays. All eight teams are named after Major League teams: three Blue Jay, three Phillie, and two Orioles' teams. Even though there was no try-out, all the players who signed up to play in this winter league are of high school calibre and some are college players. Most are aged 16-19. I can play baseball with the Americans, and I am starting to make a name for myself. They are impressed with my speed. I have played several different different positions and start regularly batting in the top five. I have pitched once and have good enough stuff to pitch down here. This is a warm-up for high school ball which starts January 15,1991. So far in seven games: seven at bats; eight runs; four hits (one double, one triple); six stolen bases; five walks; five runs batted in;"* and a .571 average. Can't touch this Canadian!

Bowmanville Bowmanville used home court to their advantage, easily beating Eastdale by a score of by Brad Kelly The coach of the Bowmanville Bowmanville high school junior girls' basketball team didn't expect a blow-out against Eastdale last Wednesday. But a blow-out did occur, and for coach Geordie Wat- kinson, it was a pleasant surprise. Her team used a pressure defence _ throughout the game, and coupled with some hot shooting from forward forward Danielle BigCanoe, demolished demolished the visiting East- dale Eagles 47-27. ' The win put the team at one game over the .500 mark at 3-2. "We felt it was going to be a close game and neither team would come out ahead by a lot," said Watkinson following following the game. "This was definitely a nice surprise." BigCanoe led the point parade for Bowmanville as she had a game high 11 E oints. Sarah Couch and ecky Moynes checked in with eight apiece. The game was à tight affair affair until the end of the first quarter when Bowmanville employed defensive pressure on the inbounds pass. East- dale had trouble getting the ball in, and the end result was a seven point run that put the Redmen up 17-9. The defensive pressure continued in the second quarter, and Bowmanville's front line of Michelle Devon- ish, Couch, and BigCanoe were able to score easy baskets baskets off of the turnovers. "We're trying to work on a pressure defence because the girls tend to hang back a little too much," said Watkinson. Watkinson. "Today we put a lot of pressure on them and got a lot of in terceptions." Bowmanville put the game out of reach at the start of the third quarter when they scored seven unanswered unanswered points. The defence defence held tough throughout the second half, allowing Eastdale only nine points. The lopsided win gave coach Watkinson an opportunity opportunity to use her bench and allow some of the starters a much needed rest. "We have a deep bench and it's unfortunate that some of them don't play much,",she said. "This game will give -. them some confidence confidence because they went in there and played well." Bowmanville's next game will be on their home court Wednesday, October 17 against Dennis O'Connor. ,1 30 Lose Jobs in Newcastle SPECTACULAR FIRE DESTROYS FACTORY Efje tatréiMîi VOLUME 111 18 Pages BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1965 10c Pet Copy NUMBER 40 Somebody Took Away the Bridge Loss Over $100,000 Halminen Home Bantams Miss Thanksgiving Dinner bv Paul Robinson The major bantam Toros entered an early bird tournament tournament in Unionville Thanksgiving weekend but had to put their Thanksgiving Thanksgiving dinner on hold while they were taking a shot at the championship and losing 4-2 to Humberview 'AA' majors. majors.
