• :'EKAW.ENNAKE New Credit - Six Nations Reporter June 15 - 21 Twenty-Ninth Issue Unfortunate Racial Incident "I'm vecy disappointedwith _my people here_ on the Six Nations," said Agnes Green, · map.ager .of the Lockport, N. Y. ladies softbali team, after a 14 year old negro girl left the field in tears after being taunted by the name "nigger" at Ohsweken on Tues. night. Several fans were heard using the offensive name and the Lockport team claimed -one of the players also made offensive remarks. All right- thinking people on the Six Nations can only :::.gree with 11Aggie 11 wheh she said, 11 It 1 s too bad some people can be so ignorant." Ohsweken's fans should remember that our girls have to go to Lockport, as well as 6 other cities and it would be unfortunate if they were subjected to name-calling at these places, .as this young coloured girl was at our ball park. Ohsweken Mohawks Keep On Winning Ohsweken Eohawks, Six Nations entcy in the Niagara District Ladies Joftball League, have won 3 games out of 4 thus _far, and in spite of bad weather which ruined almost every practice, they look like potential champions. Their strong point this year has been pitching. With Ruth Hill and Bev. Beaver throwing strikes. past the opposition, the other teams have found the youthful hohawks hard to beat. The only possible downfall this year could be the Hohawks' youth and in- experience. The Ohsweken team ' s infield sometimes looks lilce a public school kids' team. So far, they have not been tested too well because of the strong pitching. Brenda Davis in the outfield and Bev Beaver on the mound and at 2nd base have come up with several fielding gems, however which have made the team look more adequate in . this rather strong intermediate league. Louise Sibbick behind the plate and Carolyn · }1artin at short stop have also given the pitchers good support. Thus far, the Mohawks have beaten Burlington 2- 1, Hamilton lJ-10, and Lockport,N.Y. 8- 5, although this was really an exhibition game. Because of school exams, music lessons and death in one family, only 8 signed players turned up for this game and so it had to be forfeited to Lockport according to league rules. The only team to win over the Eohawks on the field was Hamilton West 3nd. The score was 7-6 _ _- ~s long as the two pitchers stay healthy and 9 of the 16 signed players can find time to go to the games, the Uhsweken Eohawks figure to go on ,vinning, the rest of the surm:ner. On Tuesday June 18, Thorold will meet the hohawks at Ohsweken at 8:15 P. h . Six Nations News .
