x | { 1 | feta L Inregular league action 'Midgets beat Juveniles 7-2 EJ by Danny Millar The Port Perry Malmont Farms Midgets and the Mother's Pizza Juveniles squared off for the second time this season and the midgets walked off with another win, this time 7-2 as part of the Minor Softball day festivities on Saturday, June 21. The game earlier in the season was the first for both teams and was regarded as an exhibition. The game Saturday will be counted in league standings. There was one bright spot for the Juveniles. Shortstop George Burnett returned to the infield for the first time since late last season. He handled five chances flaw- lessly, including a tough line drive at his feet that he caught for the third out of the first inning. As a first year Juvenile last year, Burnett was a heavy hitter, one of a few long ball threats on the team. Occasionally he suf- fered from defensive lapses. The biggest inning for the midgets was the fourth when they buried their older opponents with four runs. They led all the way, opening up with two runs in the second and one in the third. Scott Sandison and Phil Robinson were on the rubber for the midgets and both pitched strongly. In the early going Sandison teamed with catcher Clay Lovering to comprise a rarely seen left handed battery. Tim Thompson started the second inning by issuing a walk to Todd Wilbur and a bloop single to Brian Dick- son. Wilbur was thrown out at third but Lovering follow- ed with another base on balls. Mark Jeffrey got on base and came around to score when Dave Dickson mishandled Keith Trem- bley's bunt and threw low and wide past first baseman Bob Ireland. Thompson walked in a run with a bases loaded walk to John Butler. Wilbur hit a double in the Rain halts tennis play Port Perry was ahead two # matches to none when their scheduled tennis meeting against Lindsay was rained out on Thursday, June 20, at the Port Perry Tennis Club. The first two men's doubles teams won their matches for Port Perry. In best of three sets the Jay Neill - John Scott combination won their cont- est handily, with 6-0,6-0 scores. Chic Carnegie and Gord Hin- tze also won easily 6-1, 6-3 in the first match on the slate. The home team was ahead s in the third men's doubles confrontation with Barry Bracken and David Armour leading 4-0 in the first set. Two ladies' doubles matches and one mixed doubles were postponed because of the steady downpour. The match- es that didn't get started and the ones that didn't finish are re-scheduled for July 24 in Lindsay, when the two teams meet in another regular sea- son game. Port Perry's record now stands even at one win, one loss, and a draw. They have six league games re- maining, plus the make up matches. They encounter Oshawa this Monday, June 23. The most unusual game on " the schedule is the one against the second Lindsay team. It is played on Dominion Day, July 1. After these games, Port takes on Bobcaygeon, which has already fallen to them, and Fenelon Falls, which handed Port its only loss. They take on Lindsay and Oshawa the following two weeks, respectively, to end the regular season. The P.P.T.C. holds its first club tournament on the July 12-20 weekends when the Men's and Women's couples square off.

Steve Redman recorded the first juvenile run in the bottom of the fifth when he scored on a hard hit ball error by Wilbur at second base. The juveniles added a run in the last inning. The game was the first of the week for the juveniles, who were rained out at home Thursday night, but the fourth for the Midgets. The juveniles play at home Thursday, June 26 to Durham Comfort.

Boaters must exercise care Safe Boating Week runs from July 1 to July 7 this year and Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner H.H. Graham is asking Ontario cit- izens to take a hard look at their boating habits. The OPP takes safe boating seriously. The provincial po- lice has a fleet of more than 80 boats patrolling the pro- vince's lakes and rivers. Boats have to well maintained and their créws must be well trained. Although the police crews spend more time on the water than the average recreation- ¢1 boater, they face the same hazards. Any boater must learn the rules of the road and those elementary safety practices which can mean the difference between life and death. While some of the marine officer's training will relate directly to law enforcement, they are also instructed on items like fire precautions, man-overboard procedures and boat handling which should be at any boater's fin- gertips. Many recreational boaters overlook navigation and chart reading as parts of their defensive boating knowledge. OPP marine officers know of many mishaps simply caused by a lack of knowledge of how to read the buoys in a marked channel. "With greater knowledge and awareness of the past- time's pitfalls, many acci- dents could be prevented," said Commissioner Graham. With hundreds of thousands of lakes in this province, the recreational boater will never have to look far for an ideal lake or river. What is too easily forgotten is that the skill of boating and a know- ledge of the waters you are using must also be thoroughly learned. Port Perry girls win close soccer game over Pacers Thursday nights game opened with both teams very evenly matched, which makes a very exciting game to watch. The Homestead Furniture Jurricanes were first to core with Terri O'Neal get. 'ng a break away and putting ! Ciean in we goal, then Pickering Pacer's followed up with a goal. Both goals scored in the first half. Then they battled for what seemed an eternity without anyone scoring. In the last ten minutes of the game the Hurricanes pulled ahead by Terri O'Neal scoring a second goal. The success was due to mid fielders Andrea Atchison and Jody Luke who kept the play well up in the field, playing well on the forward line was Carrie Collins and Terri O'Neal. Sarah Moreland did a very good job of helping the goalkeeper by clearing the ball well up the field when in danger. The Homestead Furniture Hurricanes are placed 6th in the Girls Durham League standings. They have 13 Mosquito teams in the league and the win this week should move them up to fifth place. Playoff Cup Day will be held on Saturday, September 20th. The next game will be at Port Perry fields on June 26th against Township of Pickering's John Carpet Sales at 6:30 p.m. PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, June 25, 1980 -- 15 5" 5 J % bg = el Fran Venning lends a helping 'hand to her son Chad lining up for a hit. Minor softball event termed "great success" (From page 8) umpires, especially in the houseleagues. He explained they were relying on the rarents to give their time for these tasks in the younger levels but were not getting enough response. It is even worse in the older PeeWee and Bantam HL's where the parents often don't stay to watch their young athletes. "It is very bad," stated Mr. Cooper speaking of the prob- lem for the older non- competitive circuits. Mr. Cooper seemed very optimistic of the up-coming midget elimination tourna- ment to be held here in a few weeks. "The midget tour- nament is all go' he beams 'everything is falling into place. It's going to be a super weekend." Mr. Cooper concluded by saying that everything is running cohesively in the rest of the PPDHSA.
