10 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Pridey, Mey 19, 1967 | SPORTS MENU | By Geo. H. Campbell | Associate Sports Editor SUMMER IS HERE! Ac- tually, with lacrosse under- way now for several weeks, due to the advantage of "'in- door" facilities these days and with softball and base- ball teams in action, along with track and field enthusi- asts, not to mention the avid golf filberts, some of whom can hardly wait for the snow to leave the ground -- one could say that summer has been' here now for several weeks. However, around these parts, the '"'Queen's Birthday holiday' -- always observed in yesteryears on the 24th of May, was tradi- tionally considered the start of the summer season. That was the day that things be- gan to move, man -- really move, that is! WE RECALL trying to sell the odd extra paper for the two-week period, prior to the holiday -- so that we could afford at least one extra- large "sky rocket" or per- haps a special 10-shot Roman candle. Remember counting the three- or four - color Roman candle balls, as they exploded into the air, with a great big "ooh". or "aah" after each pop-up and that pang of disappointment when last one only blooped about two feet and the top of the casing started to burn? You always knew when a Roman candle was finished. It was a real status symbol for "the boy up the street" when word went out that his father had bought him one of those "'two bit" sky rockets, which you had admired with envy, in the store window, at either Henderson's or Harris' music store. For those big Jobs, you had to construct a special launching trough, either two boards nailed to form a V or a piece of old Eave trough, set at just the right angle. Today they have to seh a "pad" and a count- , ete. BUT WE ARE getting ahead of ourselves. After all, you mever set off your fire- crackers until it was starting to get dark, because lawn Nights, snow storms, the burn- {ng school house, spin-wheels, etc., didn't show up well, until it started to get dark. We re- call the consternation created the first time they moved daylight saving up ahead of June -- it created a problem fn the matter of necessary darkness for fireworks and the parental deadline for bed. You could launch an old jam can into the air, in daylight, via a "dragon salute" or even ealcium carbide, but you just had to wait until after twi- light, for a fireworks display. THAT WAS USUALLY the end of a perfect day! Seems it hardly ever rained on the 24th of May. That was the day for the first official "thike" to a nearby woods, or up to "The Pines". Boy Scout troops invariably held a hike on that holiday and if you and your chums each had a bicycle, your destination would be just a little farther away, perhaps to Port Perry and Lake Scugog, or the pond at Hampton. If the sun was bright, that was the day the more venturesome lads took their first "dip" in the swim- ming hole. When the hard- boiled eggs, jam sandwiches and banana lunch was all gone -- you might even come home a little early -- in time to catch the ball game at Alexandra Park. Oshawa's COBL opening game was al- ways on the 24th of May. And that was the day, for the adult citizens, when they could start wearing a straw hat. Yep -- summer really started on the 24th of May holiday -- even if the Dr. Chase almanac didn't show it starting until June 21. AND THINGS haven't changed very much, either. The cottage has eliminated a lot of the holiday hikes and the family car has replaced a lot of bicycle jaunts, while most of the popular country "woodlands" with their make- believe Indian trails and dens, have been transformed into palatial residential areas, due to urban expansion, but sum- mer still gets into full swing with the May holiday. This weekend finds Brooklin's opening "home" game tomor- row night and the Green Gaels are in Hastings, while Minor Lacrosse lads have a schedule ion. In baseball | FUTURE FIVE-PIN STARS TAKE TIME OUT FOR LUNCH Oshawa Lanes concluded their "Junior Five - Pin League" with a party-type session with winning teams, high average bowlers, those ,who rolled the top single and high triple, all receiv- ing trophies. This minor group operates competition at three age-limit levels. Sandwiches and soft drinks rounded out the wind-up. Shown above are three of the trophy winners -- but the trophies are pushed aside (right) while they en- joy their lunch. Left to right, is Doug Creamer, who bowled the top single score of the season, 401, in the "senior" division and with Doug are "Tim" Nichols and Susan Ander- sen, high average bowlers in the Bantam league. --Oshawa Times Photo By CLIFF GORDON BROOKLIN -- Brooklin Red- men will make their second start of the 1967 season Satur- day night, and this time it will be at home in Brooklin Arena Brampton Excelsiors. Brooklin opened the 1967 cam- paign with a 13-10 win in over- time over Toronto Maple Leafs at Maple Leaf Gardens Wednes- day night. It was a sparkling there are games booked for Saturday afternoon here, as well as on Sunday and Mon- day. Gale Lumber have an exhibition softball game on Sunday afternoon and local lawn bowlers have their sea- son's first tournament on Monday. The COSSA track and field championships are being held tomorrow at Mc- Laughlin Collegiate and Voca- tional School campus, with the first event going at 9:00 a.m. Oshawa Tennis Club courts will be busy this weekend too, while the city's golf courses will all be the scene of much activity. For sure, another summer season gets into full- stride this holiday weekend-- let's hope the weatherman ex- tends his full co-operation to all the sports enthusiasts. United States Trounced English Lacrosse Squad Seah sass FERGUS, Ont. (CP) --The United States team dealt Eng- land a 15-3 defeat in world field lacrosse championship play here Thursday--England's sec- ond loss in two starts.

Australia defeated England 11-9 in the first match of the six-game, four - nation round- robin tournament in Toronto Wednesday. The U.S. win put the Amer- fcan team in a first-place tie with Australia. The decisive- ness of their victory left them co-favorites with Canada for the championship.

More than 600 bowlers. parti- cipated in the big tournament, a six - game event, with the top 15 bowlers sharing in "'the loot".

Oshawa Bowlers Evelyn Redpath was runner-|z test that had the well over 3,000 fans sitting on the edge of their seats for most of the evening. Brooklin will show a new look in Senior 'A' lacrosse tomorrow night. They have developed into what we think is the fastest running Senior 'A' team in the. east, if not all of Canada. Much of the credit for the change in style can be placed] on their new manager - coach, Fred Whalley. This young fel- low, who holds the duel role, is one of the smarter men in the game today. He is not only a good manager, but he knows the game inside out and is an excellent coach. He stands for nothing but 100 per cent per- formance all the time, from what we have seen to date he will get it. Many player changes have taken place. A couple of fellows who are no strangers to the fans in this area who will be in action to- morrow night are Dave Lough McCready a rough one. Lough is well remembered by the fans in this area as a stal- wart with the Oshawa Green Gaels in 1963. He is medical student, interning in Hamilton Gerneral Hospital and is a graduate of Queen's Medical school. Lough, at 24-years-old is five- foot, 11 and hits the beam at a neat 175 pounds. He will be a crowd pleaser from what we have seen.

President Mrs. Clinton Baxter welcomed the members and in- troduced the new bowlers.

Whalley also added that Grant Heffernan had not sign- ed and that the big College lad was in Peterborough and had expressed desire to line up with the Liftlock City team.

Quality Fuels picked up two runs in the second, three in the third, one in the fourth and were never headed. They got their winning margin with: two in the fifth, when Legree and Barker hit back-to-back doubles, after Bartsch got on via an er- ror. The latter, along with the two mentioned, Terwilliger and Hoar were the best at the plate for the Fuelmen. Hoar pitched the win and got in via fine support, especially three outfielders.
