Regular coach Barry Page was on a camping trip so Pete Jones of Seagrave took over for the Jaguars. "I thought they did very well," he commented of his new squad. He extolled praises on forwards Mike Woud, Jerry Fowler, and Rob Page because they were + playing against five men at their position for the Sun- birds. Woud netted two goals and Fowler one. Jones also complemented the efforts of his rivals saying "they played well too," but adding that, "their defence wasn't up to par." The Jaguars are white- washing all opposition in the new league. Their most recent victory was the third in as many tries over the Sunbirds. The Jags have suffered only two losses this season, The season opener was dropped to the Oshawa Rangers in a higher class loop and two weeks ago were toppled by an Oshawa All- Star team in exhibition play. The Jaguars, aged 11-12, play at the High School field on Thursday evenings at 6:30 P.M. For the non-enthusias- tic soccer buff the action is slow, tedious and one-sided. For the expert it is probably more enjoyable. July belongs to Jets by Arthur Sille The Nestleton Jets '""Mal- mont Farms' senior base- ball team has proclaimed July as "Jets" month. The team is making a determin- ed bid at top spot in the league, having won six of its last eight games. The Jets have split with Janetville winning 4-1 and losing a heartbreaker 4-3. They were not impressive in taking. two doubleheaders; one from Yelverton, 11-9 and 6-3, and handing Pontypool their most humilating defeat of the season 14-1. Pontypool was 'loaded for bear' on July 15, but a determined squad of only nine Jets again defeated Kelly Neals and the Generals 3-2. The Jets rally came too late in the game on July 20 as Port Perry hung on to escape with a 9-6 victory. However, on Sunday July 22, with the home park ad- vantage and a full squad, the Jets again showed determin- ation and rallied to take an exciting ten inning game from Kedron 8-7. Randy McLeod has provid- ed strong pitching in winning six against two losses. He has compiled an impressive 58 strike-out count, and com- bined with catcher Rob Mon- roe, the pair have shown why they are of the best one-two combinations in the league. The Jets successes can be attributed to many factors, but two stand out in particu- lar: the team leadership and over-all playing ability ex- emplified by player-coach Rick Campbell and the team spirit both on and off the field. July has belonged to the Jets. With the continued steady playing of Eric Post, BALL HOCKEY STANDINGS AS OF JULY 16 Team GPW L T PTS Warriors 8 4 1 3 11 Bulldogs 9 5 3 1 11 Brians 9 4 3 2 10 Flames 9 3 3 3 9 Packers 9 1 5 3 5 SCORING LEADERS Name G A PTS P.

Three big wins for bowlers On July 17th, the team of Irene Carter, Rose Willough- by and Alma Cox won three games at the Whitby Lawn Bowling Tournament. On July 18, Bill and Melba Owen won three games in competition for the 1.G.A. trophy at Cannington with 26 teams competing. At Oshawa on July 19, the Churchley trophy was up for competition with 26 teams from Oshawa and district. The Port Perry trio of Rose Willoughby, Alma Cox and Clara Martyn were success- ful in winning the trophy. The next highlight of the bowling season is the Murray trophy on July 28th at Port Perry. Seniors drop two games, remain in second place by Danny Millar Port Perry Canadian Tire remained tied for second spot in Lake Scugog stand- ings despite dropping two of three games last week. On Wednesday, July 18 they played their worst game of the season and were thumped 18-8 by" Janetville (with whom they are tied for second.) Two days later they looked better as they beat Nestleton 9-6. On Sunday, July 22 they were dropped by leading Pontypool Generals 7-3. The Sunday after game saw Pontypool play a little long ball with Port Perry pitcher Bill Owen. Kelly Neals and Ron Finney each homered. Owen was making only his third start and was not sharp. He was replaced after the second round trip- per in favour of Jeff Boyce, trailing 4-1. Later Port Perry coach Doug Scott stated he would be used as an "extra pitcher." Owen walked in a run in the first inning when he issued a bases loaded free pass to George Reid. The Port Perry hurler has shown that he needs time to warm up as he has givenup a run in the first frame of each of the games he has thrown. Port got their first run when General's righthander Kelly Neals walked Ken Bry- ant and Dan McKee and hit Rob Evans on the hand to load the bases. Bryant scor- ed when Ron Redman hit into a fielder's choice when McKee was forced out at third. The third inning was also a productive one for the Gen- erals. Neals swamped an Owen offering into the lake over the left field fence. Both Pontypool runs in the fourth came home when Reid homered over the cen- "ter field fence that Redman Jnade a gallant try at catch- ing. He leaped into the air but the ball landed past his outstretched glove by a few feet. The Generals added three more points in the fifth and it put the win on ice. Port replied with two runs in the eighth. They loaded the bags on two base hits to Scott and Evans and a walk by Redman. Jeff Boyce delivered them with a sharp single off the second base- man's glove. Pontypool leads Port Perry and Janetville by four EIVIIVI points. Neals struck out ten Port batsmen while Owen and Boyce combined to fan six. Port Perry defeated Nes- tleton on the power of seven runs in the last three innings as they had fallen behind early in the match. In the seventh Phil Coch- rane, the winning pitcher, reached base on kestone sacker Dick Campbell's err- or. A safety by Scott scored him and then Scott followed him across the plate on errors on a hit by Rob Evans. Campbell came in to pitch minutes later with runners on first and second. He quickly issued a walk to Owen. Doug Christie singles sharply past shortstop Randy Prosser to drive in two runs. Port continued with three runs in the next session and withstood a three run ally by Nestleton to preserve the win. The less said about the Port Perry-Janetville match the better because it was a boring affair. Port. Perry was never in contention and pitcher Colin Wackett was not impressive. The game was long, drawn out and it tested a sports fan's endur- ance. Janetville scored in every * inning with the exceptions of the first and seventh, when presumably, they gave their bats a chance to cool off. Port Perry got three runs in the seventh and four in the ninth. It was a classic example of too little too late. Juveniles three game losers in North York Tournament by Danny Millar Port Perry Mother's Pizza Juvenile softball team was eliminated from a North York Tournament in three straight games on Saturday, July 21. They were edged in the first two contests 10-8 by Amesbury Park and 4-3 by Oakville and were trounced 12-3 by St. Catherines. In the first loss, Kevin Walker started for Port Perry and was hit almost at will for two-thirds of an inning before he injured his right arm. Mark Jeffrey came on in relief and allowed six runs in the second inning before settling down. Port Perry Assistant Coach Ron Redman described Jeffrey's performance as '"'excellent." The coach felt that the team had suffered a brief 'mental letdown", with the loss of Walker. At one point in the game Amesbury Park led 9-0 before Port came storming back. Redman attributed the first loss to "a few mental errors more than anything," and a "questionable call." The controversy arose when an Amesbury Park baserun- ner was called safe at first in the sixth inning. He felt that the runner was out easily. It came with two out and a run scored later. Port Perry left ten runners on base in the initial match and an incredible 16 in the' second. Redman was displeased with his unit's inability to. come through with key base hits. Redman also criticized a ruling in the game which he believes gave the win to Oakville. The home plate umpire called a runner safe on a close play. The coach said that catcher Mike Healy administered the tag before he scored. He stated that he thought Port could have won if they had Walker but that Jeffrey 'showed a lot of guts." Redman feels that his team could have won the second match, that they had "many chances to win." He analyzed his squad's perfor- mance as "I was pleased with what they did." The third game of the day saw Port lose convincingly to St. Catherines. Dennis Franssen pitched his first game of the season and Redman praised the left- hander"s work as "very Excellent." Franssen allowed just three hits but walked eight men. He was hurt by a three run homer. George Burnett replied with a two run circuit clout for Port Perry. Burnett also finished the game on the rubber, making - his first appearance on the mound. He got the final two outs. Because of the absence of catcher Mike Doupe, Curt Pinkowski moved to the receiver position. He '"'caught a good game', stated Redman. 7 WILLIAMSON For the Best Deals on New G.M.
