The Big Macs met Scarboro Village in their seconîd ganie on Sat. Morniug and the Villagers, rated as one of the lournam-eul favorites, didn't endear theinselves to Whiîby supporters wheu, they, arrived- at the park with such commeuls as "have we gotta play Whilby, what a bore." After Big Mac left-hander Camn Murkar had put 14 out of' the first 1 5 batters he faced. away on strikeouts they were strangely gilent. Brett Hoffrman supplied the big.blow of the'game, a horne rtfn lu he bottom cf the first inning to put thie Whitby ctub on ihe road to a 3 - 0 win. Other hitters were 'Ford * Definriey, Tirn Twining, Doug Shearer and Cain Murkar wîh singles. In lte third gaine for the Big Macs îhey were on the short end of a whitewash when Brampton trounced them I10 - 0 in a gaine where the Whiîby club neyer got sîarted. They died at the plate with Ian Gillis wiîh a pair and Brett Hoffinan and Tim Twiîîing with singles the oîîly hilters. They came up with some costly mniscues lu the f'ield to give sou thpaw Dave McWhirter shaky s'upport. O)lzRS SLîîurdLîy.Jiuly 13'l 12:15 p.iu.

Seldom does he corne up with an error and he robs many hitters of sure hits when he knocks down balis that seem to be going through the infield. During his playing years Jody has been either at shortstop or at sec- ond and possesses what basebail people described as a "natural basebail instinct" for hîs position. He is one of the club's best base runners, flot be- cause of his speed afoot but for his abslity to get the jump on the pitcher anid his knowledge of when to run. He played a key rote in the success of the 1970 Knights of Columbus tyke club when they won the Ontario crown. Jody, who throws' and bats right doo3s not usually hit for distance, but can corne through with singles and game winning bunts. A student at Henry St. High, Jody lives at 502 Dunlop W. and cornes frorn a basebail farnily. His brother John is a pitcher with the Ajax Drew Thu nderbi rds. f -s -~ ~: <4 Also an Exquisite Canadian Line.' 121, BROCK ST. N. WHITBY.
