Palermo put a damper on the festivities by handing the locals a hometown defeat The previous Tuesday the Chryslers Journeyed to Burlington and walked off with a convincing win that seemed to herald the tur that the team needed Going into the Burlington game the sported a record and in their several encounters had seemed flat It was hoped that the Tuesday win would signal a change In the club fortunes but lack of bench strength which has been a problem in the post once more plagued the team against Palermo Chrysler Coach Paul Marshall had to be Inserted Into Friday night lineup when only eight regulars were on hand as game time ap proached The bench remained vacant until Bill appeared in the later innings entered the game In the sixth inning but Ironically It was at that point that both teams discovered the purpose of the bat rack and ninth Innings for their margin of victor The Chryslers rallied for a pair of runs In their half of seventh but It proved to be their swan song as the bats once more fell silent over the two frames Bill Tilt was charged with the loss and struggled through most of the game He might have put on a better show had his mates provided him a little more support as the Chryslers left 10 runners stranded Barry did his best to aid the cause as he was three for five at the Bob Ma re hand Hay Ingles and Bill Tilt each picked up two hits in four at bats Last Tuesday game June in Burlington was only the second test in 14 days for the Chryslers To say they came through in fine style would be something of an un derstotement The locals chalked up 14 runs on 16 hits and whipped Burling Ion 147 The Chryiler explosion occur however until he inning I ho Kay opened inning with a single and by the time the host club dragged themselves to heir bench tor

difference scheduled lo Steve Wilson wielded a hot at 30 at the stick for the Rams as he potted Acton Arena reading and expressing an interest However several points were raised that I feel require expanding upon i First of all to paraphrase the words of a thankfully long since departed politician I wouldlikc to make one thing clear These are your sports pages The people readers of Hills dictate what is covered and to hat extent the is extended It was ihls point that most of the questions arose such as docs one sport get more space than another port Why is one team followed more closely than other And of course the inevitable Why is It that my sons or daughters learn is hardly ever heard from There are answers and reasons for the policy that provokes questions even remotely familiar the Hills environs knows that sports locally flourish with a vengeance Because of this and because there is one Herald sports writer would be physically and mentally impossible to give first coverage of every event Similarly major sports teams the Chryslers Glen Williams the Raiders and the attract a cross section of town sports fans and therefore be given more attention This is not to say that other teams or organizations are ignored On contrary hut the coverage extended musl be of a different sort This includes a lot of telephone work but or prime importance it places a burden of responsibility on the respective organizations including minor sports organizations to assure their people get the information was forthcoming For the most part assurances were given ideas expounded upon and then completely forgotten Contact was made wilh several groups and teams and advice given as to how reports could be prepared on a number of but to no avail There is only so much a person or in fact a sports writer can do In my case because there is much going on that does require my attention I have to assume that coverage a neither required or indeed wanted This Is a shame doubly so in ihe case of minor sports where oft limes the team report in only chance for the youngster to sec his name In print and his exploits trumpeted The space Is available the interest Is here Perhaps It might be better to use stronger words Interested parties should demand from the various team represcn tativea or organization heads that someone start doing their job Thai job is simple Make people aware of
