Sports Editor Georgetown s Andrew is still playing Senior baseball this season but is doing so a little closer to home The 20yearold is toiling for Indians of the Metro loop Last season got his first taste of senior bail with Marcolini eligible for draft There will be at least one Georgetown resident Interested in this weekend National Hockey Lea draft Georgetown native Steve Mar collni will be attending Ihc draft In Montreal The second year Kit chencr Rangers defence man is in his draft year and is eligible to be selected by any of the NHL teams The Georgetown Minor Hockey Association and Georgetown Jr Gemini product said he t heard anything about the poss of be ing selected yet I m not nervous but I star ting to think about it draft more and more be said Hlllers of the Major Baseball League said there were a couple of reasons why he elected not to ploy for Stratford this season The superior treatment of import players and unfamiliar home setting rated high on his list Had stayed in Stratford lit would have played a lot early in the season But once the A men can players become available the ana dian ones usually sit while the Am en cans play club is allowed 10 pick up four parts and teams usually sign at least two pitchers Thai likely would have Broun spending large portion of the season with St rat ford junior club something Ihc righthander want to do So he decided on p tthing for Etobicoke and t regretted the I like it said It might be a little easier than Inlcrtounly but there are still lot of good I When 1 came out to the first prac the guyb made me feel at home continued Being at home makes me be a little looser lit is also a lot closer decision also seems to have paid off in terms of going to the better team has a record just one full game behind league leader Ira I ford however is and four and a half games behind Division leader St Thomas So far this year Braun is with an earned run average of 1 lias pitched 21 innings fanned id while allowing just six bases an bulls Also has allowed only one homer thus far In his first game in Ihe Metro League Broun pitched Ihreo innings of ball against while striking out four and one A major difference found in the Metro league was the Indians home park The dimensions feet down the lines M feet to centre feet down ihc alleys are perfect for a pitcher In a fly ball hit to right field in little over feet counts for home run But is also finding the Metro circuit seems to have marc exposure than he Intercounty league principally Stratford docs My coach in is former New York Mcts scout and has more connections said Also there a lot more coaching here and it seems to be helping me out a lot more One thing l have worry about playing In is Ihc possibility of doing something else other than pitching In played the Infield in addition to pitching and he sold that activity put more strain on his arm In junior I d play third and make those snap throws said Here I m on a regular fiveday rotation pitchers In addition to throwing for attended a to Blue Jiys general camp in St Catharines two weeks ago A total of 16 were present and the top six were selected to pitch batting practice The Georgetown native was the second one picked said he hopes to still sign a baseball contract someday That dream is his ultimate goal I m itching for contract he will get a great opportunity show his stuff at the end of the month will pitch for the Juniors at a tournament held June in A number of scouts will be present If nothing turns up there for he could still get minor league invitation by pitching well in the Metro league One of teammates was told by a Baltimore Orioles scout lo keep an eye out for anyone with potential In the meantime will work on improving his curve and fastball location In recent weeks those two elements of his game been glv problems If I Just work on my curve and the location of my fastball 1 should be off to the rices he said Cleary feels the committee will schedule track event after Ihc July provincial road race slated for Thunder Bay That way it would give riders more time to prepare for both races said rather than dwell on whol he can change will begin training for the road event That means spending more rime on longer rides increasing his mileage from the week he did while training for Ihc track championships with speed work also to minus speed work I have to train for Ihe next event and the event lo train for is the road race Cleary said In Thunder Bay the 25yearold will ride two events The road race is made up of a 165 kilometre race and a kilometre time trial Having spent the past while con on tht track competition Cleary said he wont find it difficult changing to a training routine more suited to the longer road event That s because each spring a rider spends a lot of lime building his fitness level up first before getting Into the specialized training It will be like going bock my old times he said Just because he will be riding longer now though I mean Cleary training will be simpler than it was for the track races They different training schedules are difficult in their own ways The speed work Is difficult because it so Intense and it frustrating with nil the wailing around he said With the en durance It difficult from the sheer mental toughness points because you re spending hours upon hours on the bike will attend weekend races but his sole aim is doing well in Thunder Boy next month with limited finances He will pay for the trip out of his own pocket 11 be going to Thunder Bay and spending a week Ihere Cleary said 1 be trying to do It as cheap ly as I can but it will still be sivc I not the only one 1 1 get there somehow COME SEE GEORGETOWNS AUTOMOTIVE H0TSP0T SUPER SPECIALS ON PONY MODELS IN STOCK
