In an extremely well played tour- nament the top five Oshawa City and District teams played a double knock out tourney that finally end- ed Sunday night in the ninth and final game. The weather man refused to co- operate at all and most of the games were played in rain and drizzle and deprived local fastball fans of some outstanding fastball entertainment. However, when the tournament ended the Stouffville Betz Pools had edged out the Greenbank Gamblers for the City and District Championship. The Stouffville team (who had already won the All Ontario In- termediate 'A' Championship) had to do it the hard way in this tourna- ment as they had to beat the Gamblers twice in the finals to pull out the victory. Jim Chilvers was the pitching and batting star of the two final games as he kept Greenbank's big hitters at bay and hit a homerun in each of the two final games. World class paddlers here in local regatta The first 'Fall Classic" Regatta will be hosted by the Scugog Canoe Club this Sunday (Sept. 27) and several world class paddlers are ex- pected to be on hand for the competitions. Scugog Canoe Club President Lang Cope told the Star that among those competing in the canoe and kayak events will be Larry Cain, 24, of Oakville who won gold and silver medals in the C-1 class at the 1984 Olympics. Mr. Cope said the local club is delighted that Cain has agreed to at- tend the regatta and compete in what essentially will be a *'fun day of racing on Lake Scugog." Cain, who specializes in the 500 and 1000 distances is getting ready to leave for South Korea for a train- ing session in preparation for the 1988 Summer Olympics. Also attending the Scugog Regat- ta on Sunday will be John Chubaty of Toronto who won gold and silver medals in the (-2 class at the Pan Am Games this past August. And John Wood, a silver medalist in the Montreal Olympics in 1976 in C-1 will be racing here on Sunday The Scugog Canoe Club was form ed just this summer and some local people who will be competing this Sunday include Rob Baird, Steve De Haas, Rudy Jammer, Rob, Glen and Barry Page and Terri Gibson There will be races for seven dif- ferent styles of kayaks and canoes, including the impressive 15 person war canoes. Members of the local Canoe Club will be competing against those from several established clubs in cluding Missassauga, West Rouge, Oakville and Balmy Beach. A 500 metre course has been laid out almost directly in front of Palmer Park and the government dock on the Port Perry waterfront, and spectators will have an ex- cellent view of the racing action as bleachers will be set up in Palmer Park. The racing will get underway at 1:00 PM this Sunday, September 27 and should wind up about 4:00 PM. Organizers are hoping for a good turn-out of interested spectators who will get a chance to see world clasc paddlers inaction along with members of the new Scugog Canoe Club. The Club is now in the process of acquiring several racing canoes and kayaks and June 25 next year has been set as the tentative date for a sanctioned regatta on Lake Scugog. Stouffville reached the finals as they defeated Oshawa ACL in the semi-final game by a 6-5 score. In their first game they had lost to the ACL team and then dropped the Oshawa M.C.L. Juniors. Greenbank came through the win- ners side of the tournament with wins over the Port Perry Eagles and Oshawa A.C.L. In the first game of the Stouffville Greenbank final Mark Goreski, and Jim Chilvers were locked in a pit- chers duel in the top of the seventh inning when the Gamblers had the bases loaded with two out. Greg Rodd ripped a ground ball up the middle that should have scored two runs but Steve Schell, the Stouffville shortstop, made a sensational div- ing stop of the ball and managed to flip to second to just nip the runner coming from first. Then in the bottom of the inning Jim Chilvers helped his own cause by clouting a double and scored the game ending run on a bloop single by Randy Grant. In the final game which was played 15 minutes later, Chilvers and Mark Goreski again started on the hill for their respective teams and in the bottom of the third inning Stouffville erupted for six big runs highlighted by Jim Chilvers grand slam homerun. This looked like "game over' for Greenbank but true to their tradi- tion they were far from finished. Ken Goreski took over the pit- ching duties for the Gamblers and in the top of the fifth inning the Greenbank team came up with a A EEO ER SE i A Ph "> nh TW 2 ~ > i x oo eS Umpire Pat Brown [- os 2 CLR 3 had a close as one of the Gamblers scored from third base to tie the semi final 1-1.
