Fastball League the past three seasons Prior he spent 14 years as manager of the Georgetown Royal ladles fastball team A major reason for his decision Wilkes said was to spend more time doing other activities during the summer months I been coaching almost years and if you re going to quit you have to do so before the start of the season Wilkes said I look forward to doing all the other things summer activities Wilkes said the decision to leave baseball one he made over night Wilkes made the decision some 14 months ago and knew last year the season would most likely be his last It was a decision I seriously looked at last year Wilkes said But I wanted a crack al the provincial championship The provincial championship Wilkes referred to was the Ontario Softball Association tournament held in Ingersoll last summer Glen Williams won Its zone to qualify but dropped both tournament games and was eliminated However last year Glen Williams did win the championship Wilkes said leaving after having won a title is somewhat easier for a coach to do The nice thing about retiring now is I do so on a high he said I ve had a super three years with the men Specters as well as 14 years with the A high point in Wilkes managing tenure came in 1976 when the George town Royal el captured the Ontario Juvenile A championship That year Ted Wilkes ft- Georgetown defeated Ams bury of Toronto in the three series That was my most successful year and team Wilkes said When some of Wilkes farmer players were contacted for their reaction to his retirement many sal da personality conflict had existed between them and Wilkes That news came as a surprise to Wilkes I not aware of any problems ho said You have a choice to make as a coach whether you re going to win a popularity contest or do what is good for the team You can always be popular Wilkes added If there was a persona conflict it was oneway Now that he has decided to retire from baseball Wilkes said he docs feet somewhat of a relief There is somewhat a sense relief he said You can go on forever It someone else challenge- It has been nice coaching in a small town A big town lacks the personal ism of a small town To date no
