Lawn Bowling Opens May 31 The official opening of the Bowmanville Lawn Bowling Club will be held Sat., May 3lst at 1 p.m. Thanks to the Silver Threads Senior Citizens, a government grant and some Locke's TV Electrons Show Considerable Promise in Opener Against Port Hope In their opening game here on Monday, Locke's TV Senior Electrons took on the Port Hope Flyers and held them scoreless for several innings behind the steady pitching of lefty Doug Crough, shown here taking a eut at a pitch from Flyers' hurlef Dave Berna. Later in the game, Port Hope scored three times, on Electrons miscues, to win the game 3-0. At left, new bat boy Brad Fraser shouts encouragement to his tearn, in between racing to the plate to recover bats. The Electrons hit the road for their next few games and won't appear here again until June 8th. They have quite a large number of young players who are replacing some of the old timers who have retired, and Manager John Stainton is quite confident that it won't be long before their interest and energy willmake things tough for any opponents. World's Top Drivers Expected here in Labatt's Blue 5000 Auto racing fans attending the Labatt's Blue 5000 Week- end at Mosport Park, June 13, 14 and 15, may be seeing the start of one of the most successful auto racing series ever staged in North America. The Formula 5000 race-the feature event of the weekend -is one of nine in a series to be held in Canada and the United States featuring some of the great names of auto racing.' Following years of negotia- tion, two of the largest governing bodies in North American motorsport, the United States Auto Club and the Sports Car Club of America have joined forces to sanction this series along with the Canadian Automobile Sport Clubs. As a result, each race features Indianapolis 500 drivers against some of the world's leading road racers. It is a concept which has been in the works for more than three years and brings together oval and Indy 500 champions such as Mario Andretti, Johnny Rutherford, AI and Bôbby Unser of the United States against Can-Am Champion Jackie Oliver of England, defending Formula 5000 champion Brian Redman, also of England, and Canada's Eppie Wietzes. Rumours also persist that A.J. Foyt is preparing a car for the series, but apparently his intentions will not be known until after the Indy 500. The opening round in the series is actually scheduled for Pocono, Penn., June 1 as a result of an earlier postpone- ment when dangerous wea- ther conditions forced officials to re-schedule the event. In addition to the Formula 5000 event, the Labatt's week- end will also host an IMSA GT race for touring cars-a series with yet another string of international racing stars headed by champion Peter Gregg and Sam Posey of the United States and Hans Stuck Jr. of Germany, along with Canadians Ludwig Heimrath and Mo Carter. This series is one of the most competitive in North America with tight battles taking place between manufacturers such as BMW and Porsche. The Mosport event will mark the only time in North America that both races will be seen on the same track on the same weekend. Completing the Labatt's weekend schedule will be the third round in the Bulova Championship for Formula 100s and 2.5 sedans. Port HopeFlyers Shut OutElectrons In League Opener Scoring single runs in the 5th, 6th and 7th innings, the visiting Port Hope Flyers went on to defeat tlie Bowman- ville Senior Electrons 3-0 in the opening ballgame on May 19th at Soper Creek Park. It was a fast, close game, but defensive lapses by the local squad led to their defeat. J. Jones led Port Hope at bat with two singles. The Flyers out-hit Bowmanville 7 to 5 ana only had 1 error to Bowman- ville's 3. Larry Forsey made a great running catch to deep left- centre up against the fence and the right side of the home-town infield were strong in defense. It was obvious that Port Hope were sparper than Bowmanville due to three weeks on extra practice. Doug Crough and Mike Cornell in relief did not issue a single walk to Port Hope and they struck out 6 Port Hope batters to Bowmanville's 4. This Bowmanville team is real young and they will get better as the season moves on, so let's get out and support this local squad, who by the way will play their next home game on June 8th against the new powerful Kingston entry.
