ALL IN VIEWPOINT Some girls think modern bath- ing suits are immodesf. Others have good figures. Another fine performance by Bruce-Lockhart 'was the key to Oakville C.C's 'win, by 26 runs, over Hamilton C.C. last Saturday at Appleby pitch. Oakville, batting first, started very slowly and' reached 61 for 6 wickets. Then Dennis' Walter joined - Bruce-Lockhart, and the pair pushed the score to 123 be- fore tfme was called. Bruce- Lockhart made an unbeaten 57 and Walter a flashing 19. Harry 'Wiffen contributed 21 and .Chris Armstrong 13. Hamilton started confidently and had reached 72 for 4 when Skin Dewar changed the course of the game by taking two wick- ets on two balls. After that, the end was not long in coming. Des- Dpite a gallant stand by Cyril Munn who carried his bat for 49 not out, Hamilton could only muster 97. Bruce-Lockhart took 4 wickets for 21, Harry Wiffen 2 for 6, Skin Dewar 3 for 31 and John Dix 1 for 25. LUNAU_PIGEON TOP BIRD, TAKES DECATUR RACE IN FINE STYLE P. Lunau, enthusiastic local pigeon fancier, has one 'bird in his lofts that is making a prime bid to keep his owner at the top of the Oakville, Racing Pigeon Club's seasonal listing. This beauty finished last weel"s 580 mile race from Deca- tur, TL, with a mark of 1,363.3 yards per minute, being released at 6.45 am. and finishing the flight at 6.20 pm. the same day.

Oakyille's bantam and midget ball clubs, still undefeated in league play, swept another double- header against Waterdown last Saturday afternoon. The bantles- after conceding a pair of runs in the opening inning, ran out a 7-2 win behind Bill Anderson's four- hit twirling. Anderson aided his own cause with a lusty triple, the big hit in a five-run second inn- ing uprising. Mel Medland doled out only four safeties as the mid- gets piled up a 252 win as 11 walks and seven errors turned the contest into a walkaway. Gary Hughes and Bruce Thomas were top stickmen, Gary poling out a homer and a single, while Bruce belted a triple and a pair of sing- les. This game saw the season's first triple play, when with two on in the third, Bud Patterson relayed an outfield fly to 'George Fraser on first to mip a runner, with Fraser catching another runner with a quick toss fo Thomas at third. Both these kid clubs are playing a smart brand of ball, and will be matched against stronger opposition in exhibition games to ready them for OB.A. playoffs. Jack Davison, one of the dis- trict's top linksmen for the past several seasons, did right well by. himself at the Canadian open tourney at Mississauga last week.

Cheers for the brilliant athletic per- formances and lears for the fact that our champions will not long be with us.

With only two or three meet a year, the better-than average Canadian athlete finds him- self listening to attractive offers rom American colleges because, apparently, we have no real use fon him. At the moment, Rich Ferguson, With so much for the cheer department we graduate to a sad report. Attendance at our track and field meets is very, very poor. It's simple to blame the weather, heat, rain or cloud burst for the general, disgraceful attendance at Canadian 'track and field events. Some of us offer a national holiday or some limping excuse but, even 4 combination of alibis fails to cover us from deserting our game youngsters on their biggest days, For instance, turning our head, for a moment, from the speeding relay-race at Varsity Stadium (where the teams whipped round like grey-hounds) we were shocked Specially prepared by a prominent Canadian Sports Authority for Zz PHONE 1298 mittee is sufficiently impressed in Pete Sutton i 3 and other bright the next few weeks.

What "can we do (you ask) to keep them here at home? Well, we think that Canadian schools and colleges should develop sport scholarships (or an equivalent) and put an end to the continual, damaging drainage of our athletes forced to seek greener fields, Let's hope increased attendance will justify the fine efforts being displayed at the Ontario Senior ham pio; ton's Civic Stadium and the Eastern Canadian Championships at East York (July 14th).
