by Danny Millar The Port Perry Mother's Pizza Juvenile softball team saw winning percent- age drop below .500 as they lost two games last week. On Monday, July 9 they were doubled 4-2 by Collegiate Sports of Oshawa. In the second game, Port Perry was forced to start Coach Bob Knapp on the rubber because of a shortage of starters. The losses of Kevin Walker and Mark Jeffrey to injury and the apparent retirement of Ian Hartung dictated this move. Jeffrey will be back next week and Walker either next week or the week after. Jeffrey will definitely be the starter when the Juveniles play a rare Wednesday night game next week in Oshawa. The reason Knapp took to the mound himself was that he did not want to upset his starting lineup. The line up would regularly have Dave Dickson at third, George Burnett at shortstop, Mark Cleveland at second, and Mike Healy and Mike Doupe alternating as catcher and first base. In the outfield Dennis Franssen and Steve Redman are fixtures in left and centre field, respective- ly. Right field would normal- ly be the domain of Greg Fedyk but he is on vacation. Ted White and Tim Kane saw action there Thursday. When you throw in an injury to Healy which has sidelined him much of the season, Curt Pinkowski's absence on vacation and the need to have Cleveland pitch, the situation becomes very jumbled. Against Changes coming for Girl Guides In September changes will take place in the Girl Guide movement across Canada. Brownies will be six to nine years old, Guides nine to twelve, Path- finders - a new group - twelve to fifteen, and Rangers, Cadets and Junior Leaders fifteen to seventeen plus. The name Pathfinder was chosen for the newest branch of Guiding to indicate a girl who is ready to venture into a wider world of discovery, challenge, and service. Lord Baden-Powell wrote that the guide who was good at finding the way in a strange country was called a Path- finder. It was a name given in admiration and respect. Pathfinders will wear a newly-designed uniform: navy slacks or skirt, white blouse, and blue-edged neckerchief with green maple leaves. The Promise and Law will continue to be the central focus and basis of all activi- ties in each branch. The existing programme will be adapted to suit the new age groups, with the All Round Cord at the end of Path- finders. The Girl Guide movement is very active in our communities and appre- ciates your continuing support. 1979; Oshawa, when Knapp was chased and Cleveland came in to throw, Carl Durward played at the keystone base. Durward, a fine fielding third sacker who has seen little action this year, came into the contest early when Dickson injured his right knee in a slide at home plate. The seriousness of this latest injury is not yet known. Oshawa got to Knapp early when Phil Varty doubled in two runs in the top of the first inning. Port managed to draw even in their half of the same frame. Steve Redman led off by getting to second on an error. He travelled to third when Cleveland was allowed to first on another error. A Texas League fly ball over second base by Dickson delivered a couple of runs. When Mark Cleveland scored he collided with catcher Phil Varty, causing ¥% FT ATT IRE LLL EAL, rape Yes Hi 4A of rina ol ok kr did si the Oshawa receiver to injure his shoulder and forced his removal from the contest. This incident foreshadow- ed a similar one involving Cleveland in the sixth inning which nearly caused a donnybrook. On that play Ted Donlinksi was tagged out at home by an aggressive Cleveland. Donlinksi charged the pitcher which caused the Oshawa bench to empty and the Port players to rush in off the field in aid of their teammate. Order was restored within a matter of moments after some shoving and pushing. No punches were thrown. The big inning for the visitors was the fourth when they notched seven runs and chased Knapp off the rubber. A triple off the center field fence was the major blow in the session, as it drove in a run. Port got their final point in the bottom of the seventh when Mike Doupe tripled down the right field line. He was driven in on an infield out by Kane. Port Perry got seven hits off winning hurler Keith Woermke while they made four errors.

In the Alexandra contest Port Perry saw both of their runs cross the plate in the first inning in the persons of Redman and Burnett. Alexandra got four runs on seven hits and made two errors. Port got two runs on six hits and made three errors. Barbecues can If your barbecue isn't starting fast enough to suit you, don't squirt starter fuel at it from the can. When the flame flares up it could flame back up the stream to the can and you'd have an explosion in your hands. Don't start it under a tree or in the garage or on your balcony, any place where the burst of flame could be dangerous. St. John Ambulance reminds you that when someone is burned, you don't run for the butter dish. If it's a minor burn, ointments don't do any good, if it's a serious one, they could make things worse. If nothing else, the grease has to be washed off when the victim gets to Two losses send Port Juveniles below .500 Mark Coutu was the winning hurler, Cleve- land the loser. Coutu fanned five, including his counter- part three times, while Cleveland reciprocated by striking out one.

St. John Ambulance First Aid training teaches that if someone suffers a first degree burn, a minor one, soak the burn in cold water, or hold it under cold, running water until the pain goes away.
