Vikings under full sail in senior finals _ It's taken McLarney Marine Vikings most of the season to hit their stride, but it's come at a good time, it seems. Finishing fourth in Tottenham takes A lawn bowling rink from Tottenham proved that sheer numbers don't really count, when they took the Sons of Scotland trophy at a tournament of the same name, Monday, here in Midland. The rink, skipped by Margaret Claridge, was the only one from Tottenham, and' faced three rinks from Stayner, five from Allandale, and five from Midland. The 42 lady bowlers enjoyed ideal weather regular season play Strikers and Dupuis apparently Groceteria Leafs, the stronger teams like IGA Vikings ball hockey behind team have found the scoring touch of late and now lead their best-of- lawn bowling trophy and greens for the three 12-end games, com- mencing at 10 a.m. The winning rink from Tottenham had a score of 51 points and a plus of 3. A Stayner rink, skipped by Jennie Evans, came in second place with 43 points and a plus of one. Two game winners were the Kay Taylor rink from the Allandale club. Their score of 45 points with a plus of 4, however, was shadowed over by Verna Besse's rink from Stayner with Sprinkling system gets a workout by Don Lawrence During one of our wettest summers yet, the last thing you might expect that you need would be an automatic lawn sprinkling system. Yet, that's exactly what the Midland Lawn Bowling Club has in- stalled. Last Saturday af- ternoon, 48 members of the club attended a Gala Celebration Day, with fun and games being the order of the day. Under the direction of Florence Broad, assisted by Sidney Griffiths, the day began at three in the afternoon with lucky door prizes, spot prizes and prizes for almost anything up for grabs. "Spider games" were conducted, which called for the entire group of bowlers to stand in a circle and roll one bowl toward the white ball, or "jock" in the center of the circle. The closest ball won a prize. One needs only to imagine how difficult this task is when you consider that there were 48 bowlers present. Bowling backwards between the legs and bowling with the op- posite hand, were also games tried that day. A picnic lunch was enjoyed by all on the lawn in front of the clubhouse between games. The real show started when the sprinkler system was turned on. Backed by red, blue, and green lights, the Training camp for Midland Athletics "Midland Athletics"' will be holding a training camp, beginning Sept. 22. They are the new addition to the Ontario Hockey Association Interme- diate "A" league. The team will be managed and coached by local businessman and sports enthusiast, Bob Monteith. The league will start Oct. 3 and will be made up of an unbalanced 34 game schedule. There will also be a revised playoff system, with six of the eight\ teams going into the playoffs. The new team will replace last year's champs, the Dundas Merchants, and will play home games when the Centennials are away for weekend games. The tryouts are open to basically anyone who thinks they could handle it, with no real age limit being imposed. Anyone trying out is advised to bring their own equipment to the camp. Ken Knapton, of the Athletics Edge in Penetang, says that uniforms have been received, and_ will feature the name "Midland" prominently on the front of the Green and Gold sweaters. The two week training camp will run three or four nights a week. Midland Tykes consolation winners Midland Somers Trophies Tykes Lacrosse Team won the consolation prize Sunday in Barrie during a major lacrosse tourney. The lads from Midland had to come from behind to grab the honors which they did with a great deal of style. In the first _ round, Orangeville defeated Midland 8-4, with John Brophy scoring one goal and two assists. Jason Leclair and Jim McLaren each added one goal and one assist. Midland came back to defeat Barrie, 5-2, assuring them of their place in the consolation round.

Financing the system was entirely through cash loans from members to the club. The new system will make it possible to water the 112 square feet green area in ap- proximately 20 minutes, as opposed to four to five hours of hand watering with a hose. The system was in- stalled by Hapamp Ltd. (Ogden Bros.) of Elmvale. The 12 feet deep well has a capacity of 785 gallons of water. It is supplied by Little Lake entirely, being gravity fed, thus eliminating the need for town water. a high one-game win of 36 points. The president of the ladies section of the local. club, Irene Wilford, welcomed the out-of-town bowlers, and also presented the trophy to the Tottenham rink. The Sons of Scotland trophy wentto Stayner last year. The most colorful rink, though, was the Midland one of Vera Perrin, Marg Parker and Florence Broad. They were dressed in scotch kilts that benefitted the mood of the day perfectly. Tarton caps were also worn by the Stayner entry. Refreshments were served between games.
