3 The Cndien Stateuman, Bowmanvflle, M1uy 24, 1963 SPORTropiCs,' By Frank Mohun 623-7234~ BIG WEEKEND FOR MeQUEEN'S LADIES Last week McQueen's Motors lost two successive games for the first time this season, to faîl six points off the Dur- harn Ladies' sGftbalI pace. Since then the starry locals have played three times in six days and coach Reg Willatts feels confident the team bas regained thie toucli for a couple of, big exhibition contests this weekend. 1 Friday night, the strong Oshawa Flyers will playl McQueen's, 6:30 p.rn., at the Central School diamond andi Baturday afternoon an ail-star aggregation will nieet Bow- mnanville in a feature attraction of the Liberal Picnic at Wal-' tona Park In Newcastle, Game time is four o'clock. i. i. i. t t t SAIN HELPS COURSES BUT NOT SOFTBALL The recent rainfal belped bath local golf courses last week, giving Erinli's new grass a much-needed boost, whlle keeplng Southview's fairways green. Both clubs are forging ahead. Ken Nicks has bad the construction crews busy building a swîmming pool and the Soutbview members continue to go ail out to steadily frnprove the course. Perhaps the best news is that work will commence this faîl on the second fine. Meanwbile John Fowler bas set up a handicap rack, Mr. and Mrs. Ken Rundie, "Doc" Sisson and Charlie Biekeli have been doing the "gardening" and Harold "Fibber" Mc- *Gee is conducting a draw for a set of clubs. There are others pitchlng in too as everyone bas taken a tremendous interest in the course. i.t t i t .L'ERS VS. JUNIORS The afore-mentioned ramn wasn't too welcome at the Idemorial Park Saturday evening, but it neither failed toi stop the game froin getting underway, nor prevented a buge -crowd from being in att.endance. We thought the juniors gave a good accaunt of them- muelves, they have pitching, bitting, fielding and reserve a-trengtb-. and should be tough to beat. Eddie Shack and Co. also did their best to entertain, although the failure of Billy Harris, Bob Pulford, Bob Ne- vin and Rod Seiling to show, disappointed niany fans. The Harris group encountered a heavy downpour on the eastern limits of Toronto, and attempted to find out how the weather was in Bowmanville. Eventually it wound up wlth Harris talking via telephone to Jim Shaw, wbo in turn contacted this scribe, and we attempted to contact Art Hooper, the game 's arranger. Four guys on four phones- and we cauldn't find Art. Well twasn't raining here then-but how could we cal off the game or tell theni to corne. (At this tume the editor -was under the impression the entire N.H.L. club was stili i Toronto, however, eight of them were already here.) Whi]e we were worried about what to do, the game --was starting, amidst a sudden down-pour. You might Say the scribe was surprised to iearn the game was on, and by the time we got in touch with Billy, it wvas too late for them to corne. "Hinky" asked us to express bis regrets at missingý the game to tbe local fans. We're sorry he couldn't make it to0. -NICHOLS' ON ROPES IN MEN'S SOFTBALL Veteran George Stephen and young Jim Coyle com- bined ta ilead third place Stephen Fuels to a double win -~last week aver Nichois' Motors as the Men's Town League playoffs got underway.

ChrlCooper, lef t, and Marie Hooey of Orono may have started a new trend in hcadgear for baseball players w hen they appeared at their game with McQueen's Bowmnanville teamn on Mýondav, dressed in these attractive outfits. Unfortunately, there was no tirne for our photographer to learn if the head cov- erings are useful or ornamentai. Certainly, they wouldn't keep the sun out of a player's eyes. but thcy mighit keep the curis in place. It will be interesting to watch the men's softbail teamns to see if any of the men follow the lead given by these two players.
