Still, Port had a chance to tie it in the bottom of the tenth but they stranded Phil Cochrane who had singled and sacrificed to second, after Jay Williams struck out and Robert Evans hit a meek pop up to the left side of the infield that Chuck Jordan nestled in his glove with no problem. Port Perry actually hand- ed the game away in the top - of the eighth when the visit- ors scored four runs and knocked Kevin Walker around. Walker was ob- viously not as effective as he had been in the early stages of the nailbiter as he issued a leadoff walk to Carl Ed- wards. Elmvale got another runner on base when short- stop Bryant misplayed a routine grounder and they went into second and third on a passed ball by Mike Healey. Archer came through with a clutch base hit that delivered both runners. Jordan subsequently blast- ed a two run triple and then was thrown out at the plate trying to stretch it into. the tying run. Walker was knocked out of the box in the ninth. Ed- wards reached second base when Bryant threw wildly over first base and the ball handed hurler Greg Griffen. As they are accustomed to doing on successful even- ings, Port opened the scoring by Danny Millar The Port Perry and District Minor Softball Association has a ticklish problem on its hands. It has to decide whether or not to give some financial aid to the local Bantam team to travel to New Hamburg for its tournament OASA final in two weeks. That question arose at a general meeting held by the Executive on Sunday, August 7 at Conway Gard- ens. In what is sure to be a precedent-setting action, executive member Vin Walker moved, and it was carried, that the three head executives, led by President Robert Cooper, be allowed to make a decision on whether to give them the money without consulting the rest of the members. It was also moved by Garry Venning, and passed, that regardless of the decis- ion to hand over the expense money or not, the Bantams Neill and Tobin capture singles championships On the same day that John McEnroe upset tennis great Bjorni Borg to win the U.S. Open title, Jay Neill defeated Dave Nicholishen in three sets to take home the Port Perry Tennis Club's Men's singles championship, Sun- day, Sept. 7. For Neill, the win was nothing new. He's been beating PPTC opposition regularly for the last several years and this time around it was just a bit more difficult. The final match took about three hours to play. Winnie Tobin dropped Diane Burt, last year's champion, also in the maxi- mum of three sets to win the Ladies crown. It also took an estimated three hours. Neill and Tobin emerged victorious from among the 20 players entered in each category. All four top seeds in each division reached the semi-finals, having to win three times before reaching the finale. Ken Elliott, who will attend the National Tennis Center clinic in Toronto's York University this fall, won the men's consolation round. Sophia Brendon took the women's honours. The Mixed Doubles tourna- ment, which was originally | slated for the early summer, has been put back until next weekend, Sept. 13-14. pounding a home run over the center field fence, one of the longest extra base hits of 'the two game set. Cochrane Necessary to subsidize Bantams in pursuit of 0ASA championship will not receive over $200. If they do receive the financial aid, it would be for room and board only. The executives stressed that whatever they did would likely become future policy and so they obviously have to tread lightly. They said that because this is an all-Ontario final they could make an exception but would not normally support teams when they entered invitat- ional tournaments. What the decision basical- ly means is that if Mr. Cooper, the Vice-President Wayne Venning, and Trea- surer Jack Cooke Jr. do decide to award the Bantams the money, they must do it for any team that makes it as far as the OASA finals in future. The Bantam question was one of the several topics that were discussed in the two hour meeting. The competit- ive teams and house leagues made their annual reports and everyone seems to be pleased. Several of the house league representat- ives noted that parent partic- ipation--this- year had been- dismal. Mr. Cooper also mentioned the parents were not as active in the minor ball parade this year. It was announced that the light standards for the "smaller Palmer Park diamond will be put up this fall and that Township Council had budgeted $3000 for their expense. Therefore the possibility remains bright that the older ball yard will have lights for next season. Earlier in the summer Mr. Walker was approached by Councillor Richard Drew and the two discussed the moving of the diamonds down to the parkland north of the arena where, project- ively, it would become part of a sports complex. The feeling of the Minor Ball executive seemed to be very Claremont. in three tough games and an easy straight sets victory against Good- wood Seniors. lukewarm. They pointed out that the present locations are ideal for spectators and merchants especially. Mr. Walker stated that the Council's plan was definitely long range, perhaps five to ten years. The last meeting for the year will come on October 26 again at Conway Gardens. The election of officers will take place at that time. Members of the public are allowed to vote at these meetings. by Pat Armstrong Not too many of us can bring ourselves to think of snow, ice and skating, yet! Well, four Port Perry girls were doing just that, a week ago, when they attended the Ringette Camp in Halibur- ton. Except for the two weeks in August when its invaded by 150 girls per week the camp is best known as the Haliburton Hockey camp. Ringette only being in Port Perry for three previous years, not too many girls were interested in skating in the middle of August, but 'Stephanie Butt, Heather Muir, Natalie Franssen and Cathy Armstrong all decided to give it-a try. The girls were not only delighted at the three hours ice time they got per day, but the other activities offered by the camp. There was everything from canoeing and sailing, to the new fun sport of wind surfing. While at camp, the girls were lucky to meet Ontario Ringette President Dewi Jone. When he asked the girls if there were any complaints there was only one unanimous vote. The food, of course! These four Port Perry girls attended the Ringette Camp held in Haliburton last month and are now ready to get the season underway here. Cathy Armstrong and Stephanie Butt.

Four local girls attend Haliburton Ringette camp Soon to start their fourth season, the Ringette Ex. finally had to give in and raise their Registration fees this year. It is the first increase since Ringette started in Port Perry and luckily it is only $5.00 per girl. This year the school is again being offered. This is for girls ages 5 to 9 or any girl who is just not too sure of herself on the ice. Last year there were eight registra- tions in the school and this year with lowering of the age from 7 to 5 years, more girls are hoped to take advantage Yacht Club opens of this. There are two free pre- season skating sessions offered Oct. and 16th, to all girls, so they may see the more experienced girls and to get the feel of the ice after a long hot summer. Ringette is a fun, healthy - sport and we hope to see many new faces along with' the familiar ones. Registration dates are Friday, September 12 - 69 p.m.; Saturday, September 13 - 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; and Sm: September 14 - 24 new club house by Donna Phypers Along with the cooler even- ings comes a reminder that the 1980 boating season is swifly drawing to a close. Only a few more weekends boaters! Rev. R. Rose officiated at the opening dedication cere- monies at the new PPYC clubhouse on Sunday. The new clubhouse was beauti- fully decorated with flags and flowers and a superb new flagpole. Many thanks to all who contributed. More than 50 people attended the dedication ceremony on Sunday and included were some former Yacht Club members. It was lovely to see Alma and Norm Kennedy, Russ and Dora Wicks and Ron and Gloria Piper again.
