ngraty. Anni. effort I. te OS AE A Terrific Shatter Mo Track Twins re Records Gain Experts Acclaim Reiterating their right to rank- ing in the forefront among Can- ada's junior track stalwarts, Oakville's Johnny Ross and Pete Sutton scampered to more red ribbons 'Saturday as the nations best teen age athletes cracked 22 records in the annual Canadian junior track and field champion- ships at Toronto's Pantry park. Running under the colors of Lloyd Percival's Toronto Track and Field Club, Ross and Sutton triumphed in their specialties, the mile and 220, respectively. Pete also shattered the existing mark in the 440 and grabbed sec- ond in the final heat of the cen- tury dash, being nosed out at the tape by Dave Joyce, speedy Ham- ilton Olympic sprinter. Johnny loped the mile in 4.24.4, a full second better than the old mark, as he easily turned back the bids of Charlie Wortman, of Fast York, and Belleville's Ger- ry Ewald. Fans were disappoint: ed" however, when the expected tussle between Ross and starry Rich Ferguson failed to mater- falize. Ferguson, after setting a native senior record in the two- mile event Friday, declined to enter Saturday's mile. Particularly disappointed were Johnny himself and Coach Pete Taylor, who is convinced his pro- tege can show his cleats to the highly publicized Ferguson. John beat Rich Thursday in the three- quarter mile event during the club championships, and his sup- porters feel that with a crack miler of Ferguson's calibre to push him on Saturday, Johnny would have clipped the existing mark for more than the second he managed. He will have an op- portunity to better his past per- formances in the senior champ- ionships this Saturday. Sutton, although he clicked off a 22.9 spurt in the 220° to take Joyce's measure, and equal the record for the distance, found the latter had a record breaking burst of speed at his command in the hundred. The Hamilton kid flew the distance in 10.2 to shave a tenth of a second off the old igure. ny Oe was little short of terrific in the 440, however, flashing over the cinders in 51.7 to com- pletely demolish the old mark of 54.2. In addition he picked up the Sports College and Oscar Pear- son trophies as the meet's out standing juvenile athlete and sprinter. Camp Activity KO's Minor Peewee Sked, Playoffs In Autumn Commencement of the Day Camp has spelt bedlam in large capital letters for Bud Corbetts minor peewee series, and brought upon that worthy the reluctant decision to stage a special play- off in the fall after school is in again. "We have no other alter- native, as nearly all our young: sters in the minor peewee brack- et are going to camp," Bud stat: ed Peewee finals are under way this week, with Rochester meet: ing Kansas City in a best in three playdown series. In the bantam group, St. Louis Cards travelled to Clarkson Wednesday might for the first game of their playoff with Nixon Drugs, with the two teams playing back her Friday night. LONG WAIT Acton and Milton residents are happy these days anticipating the final surfacing of that stretch of No. 25 highway that links the two towns. The Milton Canadian Champion recalls editorially that files show the project was first broached by the Drury govt, but that progress was / inordinately slow. Now the final phase of the work is coming up, and county motorists who have jounced and jolted over the road for years are welcoming the announce ment. Away To Camp A contingent from B Coy, Lorne Scots regiment, some 20 strong, will leave Sunday night for camp at Petawawa. The group will be under the command of Major Art Kemp. Snipes Breeze Through Test Races, Skippers Wax Enthusiastic There's a stir and bustle of nautical activity in Oakville's harbor these summer evenings. Where schooners from all over the Great Lakes were wont to dock in bygone years, bronzed sailors. busy themselves with ropes and canvas. But these tars. of 1950 sail, not as a livelihood, but for the thrill that comes with skimming over the water under a fresh breeze. They are members: of Oakville Yacht Squadron, and their numbers are growing all the time, as more and more of Oakville's youngsters and adults learn the joys of sailing. It started some four years ago, when several young men, mostly naval veterans of the recent war, started racing with six prams, which are tiny little sailboats eight feet long, with only enough room for ome person. There are now 15 prams, and just recently the squadron has acquired ten new snipes, bullc in Baddeck, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia These snipes are much bigger than the prams, having a length of 15% feet, and carrying, a crew of two, | with room for three or four others. A. snipe carries a jib-sail as well as a mainsail. Many of the present 40 members of the Squadron are women, and they can sail with the best. On Thursday evenmg and Saturday afternoons, when the Squadron holds its races, the water is dotted with sails, and Spectators gather on the lake banks to watch the trim little craft. "We have had a very success ful racing season so far," Doug. Armour, one of the founders of the Squadron, told the Journal. "It is hoped that more snipe will be added next year." Now and regattas with their yacht squad- rons. Among the members are a number of children, and they are carefully schooled and encouraged in the art of sailing. Not until they are competent are they al- lowed to take a boat out of the creek into the lake, and then they must wear a life-belt. Last year the Squadron took a big step forward when the mem- bers got together and built their own boathouse, at the mouth of the creek on the east side. Un- der the supervision of Gerald Mordaunt they did a first-class job_of it. Bill Macrae is Commodore of the Squadron, Charles Ambler Vice Commodore, Don Macrae treasurer, Jim Baillie sailing sec- retary and Mrs. Douglas Armour chairman of the entertainment committee. All the men are or: iginal members of the squadron. Other originals are Douglas Ar- mour and Fred Brooks-Hill. The former has won the Squadron's cup awarded for pram racing each season for the past three years. With the acquisition of the snipes, it is rumored that a certain Mar- itimer may donate a cup for snipe racing, which should add much zest to the competition. is for confide @® Yes, you may turn {0 this pharmacy with come plete confidence that your doctos's prescriptions will be compounded pre- cisely as directed; that only fresh, potent drugs will be used, and that our prices will be uniformly fair.

It was a 7-4 verdict. Al Yarnell, who went the full distance, was forced to pull out all the stops in the final frame as the homesters filled the sacks with 2 away. Al was quite equal to the task, however, fanning the last batter to end the game. The locals will be inactive from a home game standpoint for the next little while, due to flood- light installation work at the D: JUVES COP PAIR PROTECT HALF GAME MARGIN Providing bang-up support for Wilt Herbert's two-hit, 12 strike- out hurling effort, Oakville juy- eniles tenaciously protected their first place position in the Halton county loop top spot by edging Campbellville 2-0. The winning counters were both plated in the fifth frame, when Gerry Kaplan opened with a line double. Gary Hughes walked, and Denny Camm 'moved both runner ahead with a per- fect sacrifice. Kaplan scored on 'Withnell's fly to centre, and Gary dented the rubber as Jim- my Johnson got a life when the Campbellville infield juggled his dribbling grounder. The local kids were held well in check at the plate by Camp- bellville's Roberts, who also yielded but two hits and fanned six. At Milton Monday night, the kids all met the ball hard as they piled up a 17-4 win, not a single strikeout being recorded by Milton hurling.
