Al's plans for building his senior offensive around Bart Bartholomew, the former Hamilton lad, were rud- ely shattered last week when the speedy back sustained a broken arm in practice.

Friday, Shorr If Jim Steed succeeds in per- suading Sandy Milne to round into shape for a defence post with his intermediate Lakeshores, local fans will see a really aggressive, hard thumping blueline patrolman in action. Sandy would also bring along a lot of k acquired during his terms of service with Toronto Marlboros and Cleveland's now-how Gary Legear wouldn't welcome the increased protection poten- tial! Last winter, on occasion, Gary put in some of his loneliest nights of the week, as he kicked, nudged and atted the puck away from his beleaguered twine cit- adel. .0 © © Oakville and District Kennel Club's first international champ- fonship all-breed dog show, which comes off at the arena on Satur- day, Oct. 13, may attract as many. as 500 entries from all over the Canadian and U.S.. maps. Accord- ing the club secretary Chuck Fer- nall, inquiries have been coming in from fanciers all the way from Quebec to California. People who are not confirmed dog show fans will find several unfamiliar breeds to attract their interest corgis, basenjis, possibly even samoyeds and weimaraners. Don't ask us to elucidate on these particular canines, though. Just drop in at the show, and quiz the breeders themselves. It's never difficult to get a dog man to talk about his own favourite species.

The locals, who led 9-1 at the end of the fifth, were sparked by Mickie and Fuller, with three hits each, and got additional clouting from twirler Mel Med- land, with a homer and a single, Jim Scarrow with a triple and single, and Don Clyde with a triple.

WILLIS UPSETS DAVISON IN LINKS PLAY Firing a steady 77 which was good enough to earn him a con- vincing 4 and 8 victory, Jimmy Willis staged the biggest upset of the Oakville Gold Club champ- lonship tourney to date as he eliminated Jack Davison in the semi-final round Sunday. Jim will meet Bill Louth for the title this weekend. Davison, who has copped the championship silverware for the past three years, required 81 strokes to negotiate the club lay- out he usually solves in the low 0s. Off Bittern Track A confused and flustered bit tern, which = strayed from its usual haunts last Thursday morning and made a forced landing on Colborne St. didn't take kindly to town life.
