PLENTY OF ACTION - A crowd estimated at 20,000 saw plenty of action at Mosport over the weekend, when Bobby Allison in his gold and red Camaro led the pack in the Export 'A' race Sunday afternoon. Richard Petty didn't do any better this year than he did in 1968 during his last stock car race here. He went off the track on the first lap on corner two and was out of the race when his bumper was bent into the left front wheel of his BTP Monte Carlo. Both Allison and Petty raced in Nashville on Satur- day, with Allison involved in a protest when Cale Yarborough was awarded the race. Petty also cracked up in that battle. Other Mosport events included a Bulova Formula Ford race that was won by Eddie Miller and a motorcycle endurance race on Saturday night with Frank Mrazek and Chris Manley the winners. CONFLICTING DATES - Following is an editorial taken from a Golf Newspaper call "Tee-Off" which is published in Toronto: "The growth of golf in Ontario in recent years has taken the administra- tion out of the kitchen-table era and into arf age where paid professionals are in charge of the administration of the major associations and their tournaments. However, there are still flaws and the first to admit this are some of the administrators. If they haven't noticed, we have two in mind that could require some collaboration and Canada's golf directors are not always in unison. There is always a clash in tournament dates - not major events but minor tournaments which will always have their place in the game and are just as necessary as the provincial opens and amateurs. This came to mind (ast week when the Ontario pros were playing a )est-ball at Port Colborne and their ranks were iddled by absenteeism - some Hamilton area pros were participating in the exceptional charity events at Burlington and the Hamilton Golf Club at ncaster, and some Peel County pros were playing n a memorial event at Brampton. It just seems to this writer that there should be a clearing house for tournament dates so just such .a conflict would riever arise. Each event is not only competing for players but for publicity. Naturally, each district pro is concerned with his parochial image. When they were committed to Brampton, Burlington and Ancaster, it precluded that they had to do some mnor injury to their own image and their own tournament at Port Colborne. All four events suffered to some extent. There is also the thought that tournament directors clash on the matter of whether to play summer or winter rules. This was neyer so obvious as at Thunderbird recently when pros played six rounds of their CPGA tournament players school with tip ups on their own fairways and then the qualifying round for the Ontario Amateur conducted by the PGA where the players had to hit it where it lay. The amateur body claims it was the same for everybody playing the same course -- ruling out the possibility of chance. They may be right. The pros didn't trust in the element of chance. And it was still the same for everyone. We don't intend to take sides in this particular incident. However, it may well be time for al] the provincial golf associations, both pro and amateur, and the national bôdies, the CLGA, the CPGA and the RCGA, to form an association of tournament co-ordinators and executive directors." EDITOR'S NOTE: Pro Bob Burrows of Bowmanville entered himself, Junior Club Girls' Champion Carrie Pearson, and Junior Champion Rick James, in the Pro-Junior Champions' Tournament in Mississau- ga on July 30, only to find Rick will be at Fonthill, July 30-31 competing in the Ontario Junior Tournament. HOLE-IN-ONE - The first of the season at Bowmanville Country Club was aced last week when Rudy Courville, a member of the club, won the honor, on the 3rd hole, 130 yards, using a 9 wood.

Jim Ryhorchuk was Steph- ens best with two bits off Webster. Terry Baker collect- ed two hits, one of which was his third homer of the season off Cochrane in Franks loss and Burton Sine, Dave Taylor Hope and Li On Saturday afternoon at Soper Creek before a very smal1 crowd, the Harry Locke crew had a bad game as they were beaten by Port Hope 7-2. The visitors with only fine layers jumped into a two run ead in the first inning and never looked back. Starter Mike Cornell was in trouble early as he gave up two singles and combined with two errors by his team mates, gave the Port Hope team the start they needed. They scored single runs in the fourth and fifth innings and then with Dave Rafuse on the mound they ut the game out of reach with three more runs in the seventh. Hodgson pitched a steady game for the visitors and was in trouble in only the eighth when the T. V. crew scored both their runs.

John Dragstra bit his 2nd homer of the year and added a single to Stephens attack and Bill Godfrey was right in step with a pair of hits. On Thursday nigh t Stephens ended a two game osing streak and remained four points behind Kramps as they pounded out an 18 bit attack and crushed Franks 14-2.

Rick Santom- ero laced his first homer of the year to round out Stephens attack. Jim Beam added two hits to Franks meager attack. ttleBritain On Sunday in Little Britain it seemed to be a completely different team as the Elect- rons came out fast and scored three runs in the first. Af ter the locals tied it up in the second, Bowmanville came back with one in sixth, two in the eighth and one in the ninth. Little Britain scored one in the seventh and eighth and threatened to tie the game ifidthe ninth. With runners on second and third, Don Bagnell made a fine catch in deep center field to end the garne.
