BOWMA4NVILLE ORTAEIO THU MDAY, JMUflY3r, 1059 SPORTPC >1 By Frank Mohum MA 3-7M3 EX-HARYE STERS PLAT GOLF Although there la ne Harvester basebal heam ln town this year, the former players carried an with the golf tourna- mnent which was inaugurated in Cobourg last season. Played at the new Southview course ini Bawmanville, lash Saturday, the pair af Paul Chant and Ted Dadson, success- fully defeaded the title that they captured last year. One troke back of the winners, at 113 came Bud Oke and Maxie Yaurt. The Don Masters.- Murr4y Tighc twosorme came up with a 116 total ta take third place. The high score of the day was recorded by Rusa Lane and George Jones at 134 followcd by John Ford and Vince Van- atone, 132, and "Butch" Cale and "Buck" Cowle, 130. At the niid-way point came Mike Murphy and John Mason, 125, and "Tîm" Cox and Ted Bagneli, 126. The highlight of the day happened when Murray Tighe threw his club further than the bail on the number three watcr hale. ON HOLIDAYS This is being written, Sunday morning, beside a swim- fming pool, while trying flot ta think about going back ta work to-morrow. My wife, son, dag and myself have been at the Stoney Creek Dairy Farmn, just outside of Foathill and not far from Welland, since Thursday. The idea of a beautiful swim- ming pool on a farm, may scem a littie aut ai place, but this is no ordinary farm. The cows are kept as dlean as a whistle in an ultra-modern barni. Tourists are welcomc ho drap in and sec the farm at any time during the day. In addition ta swimming every day, we have had first aid instruction, hamburgers, bot dogs, etc., in the cool of the evening. Saturday evening was picnic time, along the Welland canal, near Port Coiborne, where several occan going vessels passcd by. One afternoon we took in, or 1 should say, we were taken in, by the horse races at Fort Erie. The horses didn't cost us as much as the dogs did iast year ini Florida, but it would be nice to win once in awhile. Just to show how badly I made out, here's some of thE results: Bet on an entry to win out of eight horses. Both horseç were favourites, so one came third and the other fourth. Bel on a fairly long shot to wn--ended up second, just edged oui of first by a nose, after running lash for hall the race. Bet on another long shot to win and he won. Now this topped every- thing-Jockey AI Cox did something wrong and the horse was disqualified. Finally with money running out, I bet the favourite to place. He did. Won a whole $1.60. In the last race, my wife wagered on a hopeless 35-1 nag to win. This reporter tried to make up for this sure loss by betting the favourite to show. 0f course the 35-1 ended last, se we headed for the exil and were just about ta get into the car, when the officia] results were announced. If anyone guessed that niy horse came 3rd -you-re so right. How a person could forget a winning ticket, I don't know, sa back I went, hhrough the crowd to collect my winnings. One dollar this ime. Wait il next Urne though, Got a system ail figured out now! Sandwiched around a couple of days of golf was a visit to another farm te start the week's holidays off. This farm, my father-in-law's, bas no swimunilng pool, but there were quite a few bales of hay ta be brought in. 1 believe the term of this particular endeavour is called Ilhaying." Always willing ta try anything once, this reporter volunteercd bis valuable assistance. Two days lated they had ta force me te leave-that's how muci 1 likcd haying. Once more In the pool, a bite te eat, the Montreal. Toronto baseball game, on the way home, and the first week's holidays are tout fini. BREAKS PAR " Tan Turner, a 23-year-old Scottish golfer. now livig In Canada, became the first persan ta break par at the Southvie'a Golf Course, when he registcred a 35 for nine holes, early lasi weck. Tan has been associatcd with several golf clubs in Scotiand, aiso finding Urne ta win several tournaments. We hope ta have further information about Mr. Turner in a few weeks Urne, as he will be connected with the local course as a pro, part-time, making his irst appearance in that capacity, a week lrom Saturday. Anyone who can break par, the irst ime they sec a course, certainly should be able ta give excellent instruction. t. t tj 1* t MINOR BASEBALL WEEK With the playoffs just tartcd, the fans should certainly be able ta see basebail at its finest, next week. This' period tram July 27th ta August lst has been dcsignatcd as "Minai Basebail Week," throughout the province.

Dudley & Son RA 5-4243 Courtice I r SMOKE SIGNALS 0F THE AUTO AGE Years ago, Indian tribes living on this continent sent messages to one another, often covering great distances, by means of smoke signais. Nowadays, wc don't use smoke signais to send messages across the country, but we can learn something about the modemn automobile by .watching the ex- haust smoke. . ~ -Smoke from the exhaust of a car is not necessarily bad. Black Bih Seven smoke or srnoke w'th a brownish. tinge usually means that the car- buretor needs adjusting. The mixture is too rich. Oul additives and special oiîs often cause smoke for a short time. Smoke that la blue.. or tinged with blue . .. can be a danger signal. Lubricat- ing oil burns with a distinctive blue smoke. When the exhaust shows blue it means that oil is being sucked up Ita the cylinders and burned. More often than flot that means a ring job Is necessary. We haven't any oi-burners on the lot. When we take one in, we either do the ring job before it goes on the lot ... or wholesale the car to the city lots. When you are shopping for a used car, have the salesman start the car up and race the motor for a minute. Watch for the tell-tale blue smoke. That's one safety check you should always make. To be sure of a really good used' car, you are always safe when you corne ta Robson's Motors Ltd. You may pay a few dollars more . . . but you'l be certain of a good buy . . . there's more miles of economical, trouble-f rec driving for you in a Rob.- son's Motors Ltd. used car. 1958 CHEV.
