The Stouffville Clip- pers, once one of the stronger clubs in the loop, has folded, and the Rice Lake Rangers withdrew from the league halfway through last season. The Central loop held its annual general meet- ing in Port Hope June 12 and Port Perry Mo- Jacks general manager Murray Parliament said that as a result of the fact the league now has eight clubs, there will be several changes in format for next season. The teams will play a 28-game schedule, with each team playing the others four times, two at home and two on the road. Last season with ten clubs, the teams started out with a 36 game schedule. And the playoff for- mat for the up-coming season 'has also been changed. All eight clubs will make the first round of playoffs with the first place finisher having the choice of playing any team in the 5th to 8th spot. The second place team will have second choice, the third place team third choice and the fourth place team will play the remaining team in the 5 to 8 place finishers. All series in the opening round will be the best of seven affairs, (not best three of five as was the case last season). This format should make things interesting as teams won't know who they will meet in the playoffs until after the final league game. It will also help generate fan interest in the play- offs as each team will be guaranteed at least two games on home ice in the opening round. The league also decid- ed last week to give a boost to the smaller communities by allow- ing any club in an area with less than 8000 population to play five imports, rather than the four they were allowed last season. Port Perry, Uxbridge, Little Britain, and Lake- field will all benefit from this change to the import card regulation. Meanwhile, Mr. Parl- iament said the MoJack . executive is now in the process of final inter- views with candidates seeking the position as MoJack head coach for the up-coming season. He said the club most likely will make the announcement about the new coach within the next few days. Port Perry again this season will play its home games on Sunday nights, with a few Sat- urday night games at the Scugog Arena. Leauge play for the MoJacks and other teams will get under- way early in October with the first MoJack home date on October 14. Bantams run into tough opponents On Saturday June 16th the Port Perry Lions Club Bantams travelled to Kingston to play in a one-day tournament. In their first game they played Kingston Township. This was a close game in which the Lions won 3-2. Lee Wilbur pitched his first game of the year, who went the distance and had 10 strikeouts. The Lions didn't really have to play much defense in this game. Hits in this game went to- Lee Wilbur with a double. Singles went to Craig Menzies, Bobby Orr, Steve Durnant, Chris Cookson and Paul Cooper. Their second game was against Agin- court. This was about a "AAA" Club. Agincourt went ahead 3-0 in the first inning, due to some of the Lions errors. The Lions had the hits but they just couldn't hit the holes in the field. Dave Burnett pitched the dis- tance against this good Members of the Pine Ridge Truck Club rolled up their sleeves Saturday afternoon and held a car wash with all proceeds thre ed over to the Scugog Crisis Centre. In are, RAY BERR, Brievidd. Wid. Gddy, o's oy hitting club. The final score was 5-0 for Aginc- ourt. Hits went to Lee Wilbur with a triple and singles to Craig Menzies, Dave Culbert, Greg Warriner, Steve Langille and Darren Fulford. The Lions play- ed overall good ball in this tournament. They met some strong com- petition in this tourna- ment, which they need- ed. Thanks to the par- ents who supported us in Kingston. In previous league games, the Lions tied Oak Ridges 6-6 and lost to East Gwillimbury 5-3. In these 2 games hits were to Craig Menzies with 3 singles, Dave Culbert a single, Greg Warriner a home run, Bobby Orr a single, Lee Wilbur a double and a single, Steve Durnant a single, Paul Cooper 3 singles, Craig Venning a single, Chris Cookman a single, Darren Fulford a single and Jeff Cocker- ton a single. The Lions are starting to put it together and they should have a very strong team. Support the Lions and Minor Baseball.
