Port Perry hung on for a 7-5 victory to take a two game lead in the best of five final for the South Lake Simcoe Softball Championship. The final frame of the skirmish was a tough one for Blues' catcher Lynn Cook. First she allowed Bradford to put two runners in scoring position with a throwing error and then was shaken up in a home plate collision with Michele Woodcock, who scored. The error was the first of three Port foul-ups in the seventh and they led to three earned runs off starter Karen Young, who pitched her second fine game in as many nights. After Bradford had loaded the bases with no one out a run scored on a shot off Young's glove. The final run of the game crossed home plate when first base person Valerie Sweetman dropped a fly ball. Bradford had taken an early lead when they jumped on Young for two runs in the top half of the first. Port quickly stole the lead with a run in the first, another in the second, and two more in the third. Carol Bond, who wears 007 as her jersey number, led off the second inning when she reached base on third base person Wendy Visser's error. She advanced on a wild pitch and a passed ball before scoring on an infield out. Young started the second with her bunt single. Kelly Owen got on base on another Visser blunder. They scored on Sweetman's clean single to right field. Owen, who has played solidly in the Port Perry outfield, drove in Denise Crawford with a left field single which was booted into a three base blow by some sloppy defence. Sweetman got on via another error and Bond singled to load the bases. With the bases loaded and one out Cook fanned and Carol Wilton grounded out to end the threat. Port Perry got their last two counters when Kim Neill walked and Young doubled to right centre. Both counted on an outfield out. These came in the sixth. Young has been a domi- nant figure thus far in the final. As a hurler, she has been sharp. She adds to an infield that is tight defensive- ly with Cook behind the plate, Sweetman at first, Crawford at second, Neill at short and Wilton at third. The inner defence, especially from Neill and Young, and Young's pitching coupled with some timely hitting are the major factors in Port's lead. Game three of the set is slated for Bradford at 8:30 on Monday, October 1. Watch next week's Star for details.

MoJacks open season Sunday With three weeks of heavy practices and training camp behind them, the Port Perry MoJacks start playing for keeps this Sunday night when they open the regular league schedule with a game against the Little Britain Merchants at the New Scugog Arena. MoJack coach Doug Scott has trimmed the roster to four forward lines, three pairs of defensemen and two goalies, and thé&"team this year features a mix of exper- ienced Junior C players and young skaters fresh out of the ranks of minor hockey in Port Perry. Ray Gibson will get the nod as starting goaltender. Gibson was the back-up goal- ie last season for the Mo- Jacks and he turned in some credible performances to- wards the latter part of the season and during the play- offs when regular goalie Charlie Durward was on the injury list. Gibson this year will be backed up by Merle Schewaga who played minor hockey in Port Perry. Along the blue line, the MoJacks will have three of the largest defensemen in the league. Veterans Bill Owen and Rob Kemp both have size and mobility, and they are joined by Bob Garr- ow from Oshawa. All three are well over six feet and will make the going rough for opposition forwards. John Robertson and Char- lie Brown, two local boys, will also see action along the blue line, and they have performed well during train- ing camp scrimages. Coach Scott says the blue line corps will be further bolstered by another import from the Oshawa area. Charles "Chick" Tyson, a late cut from the Junior B's has been working out with the MoJacks, and the coach is impressed with the way he 252525252525 525252525250 00 O00 CICO OOOO LICL 2OO0O00000OOCCCICICIES 25052 50525052525252525252 CICICICICIC 3252525252525¢ 525¢ 0.H.A.

He has several years experience in the league, is a good skater, and plays a steady, intelligent brand of hockey. It would appear that the MoJacks are going to be solid along the blue line. However, Bill Owen may not be in top form for the opener Sunday night as he suffered a twisted knee in practise last week. Up front, the MoJacks got some good news recently when Darrin Jobb left the Oshawa Junior B's and will play this year in Port Perry. He had a good rookie season last year with the team. He is big and aggressive and not afraid to mix it up when the going gets tough. Jobb will be part of what should be the MoJacks strongest forward line with Stu Cochrane and Bill CURLERS WANTED For Tuesday Evenings with the Port Perry Business Girls' Curling League.

Cochrane played two years ago and is a clever puck handler, while Bridge, also a veteran uses his size and strength to advantage in the corners and along the boards. Phil Cochrane is back in a MoJack uniform this season, and the team will be count- ing on his ability to put the puck in the net. Coach Scott says that for the opening game, Cochrane will likely be teamed with newcomer Mike Healey and Tim Kane, who saw limited action with the team last year. Clark Menzies, Dave Alex- ander and Rob Cannon, all rookies, are expected to make up a line for the opener. They are all from the Port Perry area, good skaters, and strong checkers. Rich LeFort, Steve Geer and Dave Canning are listed as another forward line. (Turn to page 22)
