vouncj Open Weeknfghls Until PHONE the HERALD SALES SERVICE REPA TO IAWN GARDEN EQUIPMENT MOTORCYCLES SERVICE DEALER FOR MTD CANADIANA Canada not far behind in baseball Jim Ridley experiences in baseball go back over years He managed for three years Toronto Blue Joys Medicine Hat A baseball affiliate where teams played league games in days The only day off came the day of the Major League allstar game played unless earlier games were rained out A A team travelled over 10 miles in a season always courtesy of a bus For the past two years Ridley has managed the Canadian junior baseball team and will again return to the fold this year Lost year Canada finished eighth in the 10- team world championship tournament Canada a finish at the Kindersley Saskatchewan event was a disappointment after coming home with the bronze medal the year before Canada was lied for the gold medal with the United States and Taiwan however received the bronze after dropping both games in the round robin event between the lop three You know what it was Ridley says about Hie 1983 bronze medal finish we used to being out an the ball f eld the entire day We played both gomes on the same day and our bodies began to sac As Tor why Canada dldn t do well last year Ridley says the club was in most of the games it played However at crucial times errors would be made that really hurt Ridley has spent over hours at baseball camps this year trying to recruit young hopefuls for this year In years gone by about or so players would be invited to camp However this year that number will be cut to around 35 with Camp opening later month in Toronto The Stewart town Public School teacher Blue Jays scout is confident Canada can come away with a medal this year I feel and have always felt that the Americans are the best in the world at playing baseball They are better than we are but not so much so that we have to say in another years we II be there I believe Canada Is good enough to You can t show up to a tournament and then tell a kid to go out and pitch The campi have to be longer and more diverse Canadian kids have to go out and throw the ball and and the game every day Forty live minutes a day would accomplish a lot JIMBIDUY r and I looking for some win a medal this pleasant surprises Last year Ridley had a problem that might return this year In Canada had surplus of left handed hitlers In fact in the tournament opener against the United States all nine Canadian batters were left handed Ideally a manager would like to have a mix of both right and left handed hitlers so as to not give the opposition an advantage with cither a right or left handed pitcher The national team training camp will run two weeks That does not give Ridley the time required to fully implement team strategics let alone leach some of the youngsters he has trying out You can t show up to a tournament and hen tell a kid to go out and pitch The camps have to be longer and more diverse Canadian kids have to go out and throw the ball and practise and play the game every day Forty five minutes a day would accomplish a lot If Ihe kid going to be a self motivator then he shouldn t be playing Baseball is a lot of mental preparation If I can get our kids to endure physically and mentally then we 11 do well Ridley said Aside from being given the opportunity to be Involved in baseball Ridley sals the biggest kick he gets from managing lie team comes from within The fact that I responsible for IS kids and their ultimate performance on the ball field Is a challenge I like a would like to see us do well I m also involved because I believe baseball belongs in the and It is one place where Canada could do well Baseball Is going lo the Olympics it s got to I can remember all the baseball coaches I had a kid they all had something to give to me Maybe 1 can give something back Rebel selected for national junior team Bingham makes volleyball grade By DAN RALPH Herald Sports Editor

play hockey out of town the property of team they last played for Thai meant about eight potential players were all of a sudden deemed for the Sabres The way Acton could obtain the players was If were given a However six of the eight played in the Mid Ontario C League the same circuit Acton joined his year In fact Ihe six played for the Fergus team that is in the same division as the Therefore
