Infantry turned in a good score last week (just 60 pins behind the leading Comâ€" mandog) but were. shortâ€"handed Monday night, and had three strikes against them before they even got started. Despite this deficit, they proved to be good comâ€" | Signallers will receive the Harry Clark trophy and Artillery the Legion Shield for the winning and runnersâ€"up positions. On the other side of the alleys, a close and rugged battle was being staged for the consolation prize. Commandos finally came up with a winning game and copped the prize by a 15â€"pin margin. And don‘t think they didn‘t know it was close. Their opponents and closest rivals, Gunners. put up a creditable fight, and as a matter of fact, actually outscored them on the night‘s games by 336 pins. The lead Commandos gained last week and a high handicap total were the deciding factors. Top bowlers for Commandos were Joan Say 583, and Russ Eagleson 577 for three, with Eleanor Brookbanks rolling high single of 258. Gunners chalked up some lovely totals with Charles Wacey toppling the timbers for 690 for three, Irma Bent 617 and Earl Sararas 610. Wacey also had high single for his team 262, with a 248 thrown in for good measure, while Earl Sararas rolled a single game of 260, and Mrs. Bent had two games over 200 for her fine total. Simmons was the other top man }of the night with 618 for three. ‘The remainder of the bowlers on both teams, except for the odd game, were not good. Val Stocks 235, Frank Munshaw 213, Stan Woodcock 250 and Dot Greenwood 211 were the other high scorers for Signallers, while Sam Simmons 230, and Alan Powell 176 were the best the Artillery could present.

N., WESTON C.C.M. and RALEIGH BICYCLES Weston 1900 I took my first crack at it last Sunday afternoon (I make mention of the time in case some people thought I missed church). The air was brisk, and I felt in the mood for a fast eighteen. After taking a deep breath, I teed up and wacked a honey that went briskly down the fairway for forty yards (at least), and then just as briskly hopped into the nearest rough. Fifteen strokes later, I sighed, gave myself a fourâ€"foot putt, and walked over to the second tee. Hockey may be over, and lacrosse not yet started, but this soâ€"called slack season in sports is not as stagnant as it would appear at first glance. This wonderful weather (I‘m talking about Easter weekâ€" end), has brought the divotâ€"diggers out in fine style and local golf clubs are doing a roaring business. Beside the Midget entry, the Weston organization will enter two teams of 14â€"16 year olds in a House League with two teams from Mount 'Dennis. Also, boys from 10â€"13 years will be formed "nto teams and entered in the Gibson Park League. This represents a large expansion in the baseball program from last year and the executive felt that it would do much to popularize the game of baseball in Toronto and district. Vern Plant and Jim Coulter were present as representatives of the | The executive of the Midget |baseball organization met on Monâ€" day and planned their season for this year. President Stan Chappell presided over the meeting. Viceâ€" president John Fergusen gave a report on the meeting with Leaside and East York and told the group that the Weston Midget entry would compete as a member of the Leaside League which was an affiliate of the Toronto Baseball Association. Gordon Alcott gave a report on the times available at Gibson Park for the use of baseball teams. Games and practices will be held on Mondays, Wednesdays in the evenings and Saturdays in the morning. f In the consolation prize roll, Commandos gained a slight lead over the other three teams, but Monday night‘s bowling may change this. They‘re rolling a sixâ€" game total pins to count series, and all teams are very evenly matched. Commandos totalled 3004 pins, Infantry 2943, Bombers 2887 and Gunners 2846. Only 118 pins separate the top and bottom teams, so anything can happen. The first night of playoffs saw Flyers and Tankers eliminated by their opponents Signallers and Artillery in a couple of exciting battles. The game between Artilâ€" lery and Tankers was not as good as it could have been, mainly because Tankers only had four players out, and when the final score was tallied Artillery had a 494 pin margin over their contemporaries. On the other hand Signallers and Flyers had a close fight that was not decided until the final ball had been rolled. Signaliers were the winners by 154 pins, and were lucky they manâ€" aged to chalk up a big enough margin in the first game to take them through. The entire team fell down badly in the third game, only bowling 938 pins as against their 1235 for the first tilt. For the season, individual scores were much higher than those of last year. Prizes will be given to the top man or woman in each section, and in cases where one person is high in more than one section, the second highest score petition for the strong Bomber team, and only trailed by 135 pins when the totals were counted. Bombers finished off in third place with Don Kirkland 600 and Bud Rimmer 597 being top scorers for the night. Bud also rolled high single for "his team, 239, while Kirkland turned in a 235 single and George Savage 203. Doreen Mattison was high in the losers‘ cause with a 518 for three, while George Darker took high single with 195. Weston Legion Enter Weston Baseball Teams In Leaside And Mt.

At the third tee (we‘ll just forâ€" get the second), my enthusiasm was waningâ€"at the sixth, 1 was definitely tiredâ€"at the eighth, I was wondering how I ever got started on the blasted game in the first place, and at thg ninth my partner had to keep coming back, dragging me off my knees, and holding me up while I made feeble attempts to blast that li‘l old white ball down the centre. Speaking of golf, The Financial Post says Canadians will spend $40 millions on the game this year. â€"Continued on page 7 _ The executive of the Weston Baseball Association includes: Stan Chappell; president; John Ferâ€" guson, viceâ€"president; Don Danby, secretaryâ€"treasurer; Bill Slinger, team manager; George Maxwell, team coach; Clyde Desmond, asâ€" sistant coach.
