He is Mighty Kevin Timmons comes to bat soon by Tom Shields In just a few weeks, the local baseball scene will be swinging back into action in the South Simcoe baseball league. Kevin Timmons will be trying to defend his status as the '"'Most Valuable Player" in the league, not only as a good power hitter which Kevin demonstrated last season but also as one of the league's premier catchers handling the decker duties. But this season could be a farce as far as knowledgeable people in the game of baseball are concerned. Last season, the South Simcoe league in- stituted the "designated hitter rule" which meant that if you had a player who was good in the field, but not too good when he came to bat, the team could put in another hitter for this person. In most cases last year, the designated hitter went to bat for the pitcher. This is exactly what happens in the American League in the majors. ! Explaining the Baseball Farce But this season, the South Simcoe league has said "lets have a whole barrel-full of designated hitters and they agreed. So here is what we might see late in May when the Indians play ball at King Street Stadium in Midland. First of all, the managers of each team take their lineups to the home plate umpire for his use during a game. Last year a total of 18 names, nine for each side would be handed to the man in blue. This season, each team could hand the "'ump"' a bigger piece of paper with 18 names on it, meaning a total of 36 names being handed to the head umpire. This will probably cause our first delay of the game. In Penetanguishene provincial court Headaches for the Game Scorer... Secondly, the league scorer at the game will have his headaches, as a scoresheet usually has room for about 12 names. Now with a team using 18, not counting substitutes for injuries, the official scorer will have an excedrin headaches comparable to force seven on the "G"' scale. That will lead to a second delay as someone straightens him out. ...and Everyone Else Next come the fans, who are there to see the ball game and maybe even recognize the left-fielder as the kid down the street, or the guy who works down at the corner store. But now instead of nine players for each team, there is a possibility of 18 players from each team. Altogether 36 players could partake in the game. So now here is a list of the people who will be confused The Umpire, the official scorer, the public address announcer, the fans, the bat boy, the managers of each team, the trainers, the T.V. crew, the ballplayers, the workers at the concession booth, the fellows in the Goodyear Blimp, Tony Kubek, Curt Gowdy, and even Kate Smith, if she's there to sing the national anthem. I am confused and also concerned about the future status of the South Simcoe league. About the only good point is that you can get more younger players into the game so that they just don't sit on the bench and get mad. This season, the Midland Indians will be playing most of their home games on Sunday nights starting at 7 Tuesday nights at 7:30 as an alternate night Victoria Harbour man sentenced 14 days with impaired driving on January 23 after police stopped him for making a sharp turn onto Con- cession 5 from Highway When he went to A 26-year-old Victoria Harbour man received a 14 day jail sentence to be served intermittently on weekends following ac- ceptance of his guilty plea 12.

St.Mary's parish welcomed Bishop by Lorraine Kindy St. Mary's Parish in Victoria Harbour was honoured Sunday, May 11, by having Bishop Fulton of the Toronto diocese celebrate the 10:30 a.m. mass, as well as administer the Sacrament of Con- firmation to the senior students from St. Mary's School and a few adults. After mass, everyone was invited to the parish hall to talk with Bishop Fulton and enjoy coffee and donuts prepared by the Catholic Women's League. Those who were con- firmed were presented with a crucifix blessed by the bishop. Father Maloney and Bishop Fulton were served breakfast by the ladies before going on to other parishes in the area.

Fined for refusing to take a breathalyzer test A 33-year-old Wart- worth man was fined $125 for refusing to take a breathalyzer test despite his claim that the breathalyzer test, which he was asked to take on January 23, was unfair. A second charge of impaired driving was dropped because the judge ruled that Paul W.
