enn --sDports RENEE cute SCOCTIC Rakes progress Leslie Cowdrey, gentleman bowler, is rak- ing in the bowls at the Midland Lawn Bowling Club last Monday. A resident of Toronto, Cowdrey is one of the weekend cottagers who are members of the club. The occasion was the Civitan Men's Pairs Invitational Tournament attended by bowlers from Owen Sound, Stayner, Bar- rie and Midland. Visitors victimize Midland by Ed Pearson Lawn bowlers from surrounding areas responded to the Civitan Invitational Men's Pairs Tournament last Monday and flooded in to the Midland Lawn Bowling Club from Owen Sound, (two rinks) Stayner (five rinks) together with a team from Barrie. The local club fielded six teams and got beat up for their trouble. Matter of fact, the Midlanders would have been shut out of the money alltogether if Ray Goodenough, with Cliff Ross, hadn't cash- ed a high single game score. Could be that the out-of-towners are bet- ter foul weather players than our local heros. Drawmaster Florence Brood had to cope with rain delays, frequent tea breaks and some very soggy bowlers. She said all the competitors remained sweet tempered throughout the inclement weather, but who could get mad at an old darling like Florence? Anyway, they dodg- ed the raindrops and got the three draws played out. Joe Besse and Ken Kerr from Stayner won top honors with the high three game score. Ed Douglas and Bud Loukes from Barrie were close runners up; they also won all their games. Archie Harvie and Camm Millman from Owen Sound en- sured that the prize money was geographically distributed by scoring the high two game tally. Midland bowlers have been guilty of raiding the coffers out-of-town clubs in the _ past and do not begrudge visiting teams their share of the limelight. The pleasure of their company far exceeds monetary considerations. Just wait until next time. Soccer team returns with tie, one point by Ed Pearson The Mid-Pen club travelled to Huntsville for their game against Muskoka International on Sunday. The result was a two-two draw game (which is like kissing your sister) but a point from an away game is always welcome. ne Another reason for satisfaction is that they were down to a bare 11 players, no oppor- tunities for substitution on a very warm day. Les Kellerman, one of the walking wound- ed, soldiered on through the pain and helped to stem the tide on defence. Mid-Pen suffered again through the lack of a regular goalkeeper. Mike Keainey took an unaccustomed role between the posts. Steve Jupp played deep sweeper to give him a little added protection. Using a familiar tactic, Jupp moved into the opponent's goal area when Denis Moreau took one of his patented corner kicks. Moreau's centre was an in-swinger which Jupp converted for the first goal. The play was used to take advantage of Jupp's superior height and his heading abili- ty; on this occasion the ball was low enough for him to get his feet to it. The team will bestrengthened by the return of Moreau; the forwards should be quite lethal with another sharpshooter in the line-up. Dave Campbell maintained his workload by scoring his customary goal. It was worthy of him, a cannonball from just outside the 18 yard area. The Muskoka goalkeeper, who ob- viously was-no stranger between the sticks, was beaten by the hard high shot that elud- ed him and dipped just below the crossbar. Mid-Pen kept the Muskoka goal under pressure but they were rovbbed repeatedly by a sure-handed keeper. The local team should be stronger in all departments for the next game, against the unbeaten Bracebridge Cents. Larry Buckley, star of stage hack and goalmouth, fresh from theatrical triumphs, keeps threatening to turn out and resume his goalkeeping talents. Kick off will be at 1 p.m. on Sunday at the Penetang high school field. Feigner to lead team against all-stars July 1 Eddie Feigner isn't shy when he talks about his variety of pitching skills. The famed softball hurler, who throws strikes between his legs, behind his back and blindfolded, will say that his ability to throw a softball hard and make it do tricks is for real. He will also say that he has more pit- ches and deliveries than Heinz has varieties, but some of the stories about him go beyond reality. I wish I could do all the things some peo- ple say I can," he says. "I can't throw the ball 150 miles an hour and 450 feet. But some peo- ple say I can after seeing me perform." Feigner's fast ball has been clocked at 104 miles an hour which is faster than the meter registered the high hard ones of Sandy Koufax, Bobby Feller and Nolan Ryan of baseball fame. On the mound, Feigner is a determined workman. Every hitter is his enemy and he seems to be able to smell the good hitters. The better the hitter, the harder he throws. An outstanding athlete, Feigner is a super- man on the diamond, a good golfer and bowler. He'll out-drive most pros off the tee and averages over 200 on the alleys. The amazing King and his court four-man team will face the full-size, nine-man team, the Simcoe Rural Fastball League Allstars on July 1. Game time is 7:30 pm at the Herb Beauchamp Memorial Park. Advance tickets are available at $2 for children and $4 for adults. Tickets can be purchased at the following locations: the Midland Minor Baseball Association, Garner's Sports, Coach and the Athlete, and the Midland Recreation Department. The cost of admission at the gate will be $3 for children and $5 for adults. If you have any inquiries regarding the Ed- die Feigner game, contact the Recreation Department at 526-4770.
