~AGE EIGET TEE CANADIAN STAT~MAN, DOWMANVILLE, OUTAE!O [Town Lge. Softbal IStar of the Week Pitchers continued to dominate the scene in Men's Softball League action last week, with "Red" Davey of Surplus Sales and Cliff Trewin of Ken's Mens Wear collecting the Surplus Sales' Stars of the Week Award. Davey put on a one-man show, throwing a six- bitter and batting in six runs as his team won 10-1. Trewin gave up ten hits, but was particularly effective in the clutch when he picked up most. of his 14 strike-outs, as Ken's battled to a 5-5 extra-inning tie. Ken 's and Ste phen 's D.111.

This was the first vital step, î using these roads this summer * for the business interests, an- on vacation. Somne will head xious to support the scheme, - '~ soutn on trhe tonl turnpikes in the States. Now is a good time Bill Steven to mention a few reasons smash- lups occur on these roads that engineers once thought of as practically accident-proof. Trouble seems to corne when ordinarily cau- tious drivers become lulled into drowsiness. Higher speed limits tend to be exceeded. The driver's alertness. instead of increasing with the speed, DECREASES. A driver following too close at 60 MPH needs 120 feet to stop (double wheat he needs at 40). Sudden slow down of the car ahead has often caused four or more cars to pile up in rear-end smashes. Best bet is to stay 20 f eet (one car length) behind for every ten miles of speed. Stay in line unless it's absolutely necessary to pass. Then watch the "blind spot" on your lef t in case another car is trying to pass YOU. When you have passed, be sure you can see the car you've passed in your rear-view mirror before you cut back in line. A couple of more precautions: If you're tired, pull over and take a nap. If you don't feel well, stop for a breather. If your car isn't in good condition, with good tires and brakes, it might be better to stick ta the side roads. This is doubly important today when all roads are jammed tighter than ever with cars, like sardines in a can, even if some of them are small ones.

All five of Ken's runs were unearned, with three of ste- phen's being the result of er- rors. The teams traded singles in the first inning. The Men's Wear scored on a walk to Bob Marjerrison and an error by Bob Abbott on Lloyd Hamil- ton's ground baIl. Don Mas- ters singied, advanced when centre-fielder Ted Fairey bob- bled the baîl, and scored on Laurie Garbe's single to tie the score. The Fuels went two up in the second on a walk to Jim Allin and a single by Vince Vanstone and a three base error. Catcher Doug McNeii committed three errors i the third to give Ken's a pair of third inning markers along with Hamiiton's single. The Men's Wear forged ahead for the first time in the fifth on "Butch" Cole's two-bagger and another mis- cue by McNeil. Ah error by Trewin and singles by Jack Bond and Stephen knotted the count in the sixth. Each team scored once in the seventh, and the game was called be- cause of darkness after one extra frame. A triple by Garbe and Van- stone's singe accounted for the Fuels' marker, while Tim Cox scored for Ken's, when he sin- gled and went ail the way around an Dadson's three base error. Following the flrst meeting of the Bowmanvile Go-Kart club an Monday evening, sponsors Ken Nicks and Don Stutt gave a practical and thrilling demon- stration on the Brewers' Warehouse parking lot. Youngsters from many parts of town were on hand for the show and passing motorists halted in their treads at the sight of the skidding, low set vehicles being put through their paces. Arrangements have been completed with Keith Connell of the Cream of Barley Camp ta use the former tennis courts for a regulation Go-Kart track for club members. Next meeting of the club will be held at the Cream of Bar- ley Camp on Tuesday, Aug. 2nd, at 6:30. Ail interested yongsters and adults are invited to attend.

Surplus Sales Lead Loop Trounce Snuffy's 10 to i Surplus Sales took over un- disputed possession of first place in the Mens' Softball League, handing Snuffy's Au- to Body a 10-1 pasting, last Tuesday night at the Central Schooi diamond. Surplus pitcher, "Red" Da- vey, was the star of the game, effectively scattering six hits, while fanning five and issu- ing no bases on balis. At the plate, he collected a single and a double to drive in six runs, and scored one hîmself. A walk ta, Ted Hoar, fol- lowed by Maxie Yourth's sin-1 gle, gave the winners a 1-0! lead in the opening frame.
