Ollie And A1 Produce Gala Athletic Show Next Week A little o f everything fo r just about everybody-- that is a quick summation o f the varied sports program that has been lined up by O llie Johnson, A1 Tizzard and their w illing workers fo r Centen nial W eek. For, on land and on water, there'll be m ore sports action that this town has ever b efore packed into eight days. Biggest athletic days are the opening and closing Saturdays, but there w ill b e plenty in between. Land and water sports begin simul taneously Saturday morning, when a huge sailing regatta and the semi-final's o f Bruce Harrison's invitation doubles tourney get under way. A hydroplane regatta, water skiing exhibitions, an arch ery contest, finals o f the tennis tournament, and a senior soccer game at W allace Park w ill fill out the day's program. On Saturday, July 8, Ollie starts a big field day agenda at W allace Park and on the high school camp us at 10 a.m. Then, at 3.30, the epic old tim ers' ball game takes the diamond stage at W allace Park, featuring form er Oak stars o f the past (right back to mem bers o f the 1924 Ontario champs) against the present provincial titleholders. Between Saturdays, there w ill be gymnastic demonstrations; a model flyin g display; a ju n ior hot rod derby; a visit from Marilyn B ell to turn the sod fo r the Lion swim ming pool; the m inor baseball league finals, fo r w hich The Jour nal has donated trophies; a horse shoe pitching contest in which Mayor Bill Ander$on w ill take on all challengers; and more soccer. Oh, yes -- almost forgot a sports car rally and time test that Dennis Milligan is lining up for opening day! Bronte United Extends Victory Skein With Win Over Guelph Bronte United soccerites contin ued their winning ways last week end as they rom ped to a 6-1 v ic tory at Guelph over the K ing W il liam eleven. Hank De Bruin, who now is the club's top scorer, notched three goals to set the pace fo r the win ners. The other markers were booted hom e by Jim Furman, Louis Csiz and young Dave Hur ley, a 16-year-old junior. Hurley, who made the trip just to watch the game, was pressed into service when it was discovered that player injuries had left the club a man short o f fu ll roster. Missing from the lineup were Frank Jelinek, Dick Meyer, Stan Liwak and John Donk. Outstanding in this game was goalie Erich Jensen, who com plete ly frusrated the losers on all but the one occasion as he came through with several remarkable saves. United meet Welland at Bronte field on Saturday evening with kick off time being set for 6 p.m. BACK IN ACTION FOR OLD TIMERS Am ong the m ore recent " oldtimers" who w ill be perform ing in the big game against Oakville's 1946 Ontario champion Oaks, on Centennial W eek's wind-up Sports Day, w ill be A1 Y arnell and Norm an " Toubey" Carter.

Bats Silent In Weekend Contest The Oakville , Cricket Club's T & D League entry seems deter mined to prove the old adage that no game is won until the final whistle. On Saturday last, for the third time in five starts this sea son, OCC, let victory slip away after assuming a commanding lead in the early stages. Oakville got away to a flying start against Toronto C. C. at Appleby, when the pow erful bat ting side o f the visitors was thrust aside fo r a mere 88 runs-- due mainly to the devastating bowling of John Wiggins, who captured eight Toronto wickets fo r 47 runs. F or the visitors, only Jim Chap pell (37) and Captain John Shirr e ff managed to reach double figures. Seemingly on their way to easy victory, when half the TCC score was knocked o ff fo r the loss of only three wickets. Oakville bats men became careless, and sudden ly appeared almost in a hurry to get themselves out. So it came about that, when the final batsman was run out trying to steal another count, the OCC total was still 13 short o f catching the visitors. David Senst (27) gave the only respectable batting display fo r the homesters, as Ted W igly took seven fo r 30. Next week, OCC visits the North Toronto Cricket Club. Fred Thompson Paces All Oaks In Hitting Latest team averages released by Inter-County League statistician George Hogan disclose that Oak thirdsacker Freddie Thompson is among th e 'lo o p 's top three hitters. Thompson is having a hot tussle with Muldoon o f K itchener and Di Carlo o f Guelph.

Stockton Joins Nolan In Rider Brian Stockton, the fleet passcatching back who was such a standout with the 1956 Black Knights, signed an Ottawa Rough R ider contract last Saturday. Stockton w ill join lineman Phil Nolan at the Roughies' rookie workouts, which get under way July 5. k Knight workouts are slated to com m ence July 24, according to manager Jack Rogers. A s usual, however, the main w orries confonting the team manager are those pertaining to finances, and some drastic measures may be indicated if Intermediate ORFU play is to continue hereabouts. The club cleared only $300 on its boat, mo tor and trailer draw, which was hardly a bonanza. W inner o f the draw, incidental ly, was John Tisdale. STILL A THREAT By Alan Mover Little Oaks Lose First Game As Brampton Takes 4-2 Verdict W hile the senior Oakville Oaks were adding another victory to their increasing total last W ed nesday night, at W allace Park, the Little Oaks o f the Halton County Intermediate C Baseball loop were dropping their first contest o f the season in Brampton. The Flow er towners edged Billy Vaughan's crew by a 4-2 score, preventing them from winning their sixth con secutive game, on three unearned runs in the sixth fram e o f the sev en inning encounter. Pete Kennedy on the mound for the Oaks allowed on ly two hits in going the distance, but the six bases on balls he issued plus the three errors his mates committed w ere enough to bring his downfall. Bronizewski on the hill fo r the victors scattered jfjine s a f e f e fftftfiUg eight, and walking tour to capture the decision. Heatherington did the catching. The Little Oaks scored first breaking the ice in the second in ning to tally one counter, on 3 bingles, and a walk. G erry Trudell opened with a three-base hit, scor ing on Bob Bishop's single. Andy Anderson follow ed with another single, but Bunk Lawrence flied out to left field, Ray Burrell walked and Kennedy struck out to put an end to the rally. Brampton tied the game in the fourth on one walk and no hits but scored three in the sixth to sew up the game. T. Merrit led o ff with an error charged to the shortstop. Next m^n up Savage grounded out pitcher to first, and Heatherington was hit by the pit cher, follow ed by an error to the flinger to put Patton on base. Ken nedy then issued consecutive walks to McMurchie, Bronizewski, and Hayes, then settled down to strike out the next two to end the battle o f the unearned runs.
