The first project will probably be the Dance-a-thon which a group of interested teenagers who would like to con- tribute and work towards this fund are operating. This project will be held from 8 p.m. Friday, June 4 to 8a.m., Saturday June 5. Your help in sponsoring these students would be ap- preciated. It looks like the girls softball league in this area is ready to expand. In recent years only a midget league operated. This year it looks promising for a novice girls (under 12) and an Intermediate ladies league. Anyone interested in playing, coaching or managing' the Penetanguishene Intermediate ladies team is asked to call Mrs. Sandy Dubeau at 549-2392. Other projects for the Light Fund include the California Cuties, Jack and the Jesters (a four- man ball team) and hopefully Bobby Orr and his hockey players from the Orr-Walton sports camp.

The clinic Staff photo Taiking Sports gets back to the way sports byTom Shields Wasa } In the world of sports, things seem to be get- ting back to normal, or getting back to "the way they were"' if I can use a little take off from a ww that the Montreal Canadiens are back as tanley Cup winners, something they were for most of the years in the late 50s and again in the early 60s. But here is another team that is back to normal and in this case I am referring to the New York Yankees. And not only that, they are back al their own home as well, seeing as they vacated Yankee Stadium a few years back so thal the landmark in Manhatten could be altered and brought up to date. Where the Yankees used lo be on top in the American League, they are now on {op of the Eastern division of the American League, and right now they hold a healthy four- vame lead over the Ballimore Orioles. This is like the Yankees of old when they had Mantle and Maris and Berra and Whiley Ford and the hoys...always number one in the American League. In the boxing world, Mohammed Ali is once again back as a winner and this time beating @" title. Everyone and his brother all know Dunn from E! ngland in five rounds, leaving no doubt in anyone's mind that Ali is back in form after his slow fight with Young a few weeks ago. Ali has the martial arts champion lo take on in Japan in a month or so, then he will train for his big bout in September against Ken Norton at the place I talked about earlier in this story namely Yankee Sladium. I get the feeling that that will be the final fight for Ali as I think he will retire after the boul, especially if he wins. Bul should Norton defeat Ali in that fight, we can watch for a rematch as I think Ali would like lo retire as a champion. Meanwhile, Alan Richardson of England will probably get the name of the "trunkless boxer" tagged on to him. In England on Monday night, Richardson came oul to meet his opponent, Ray Ross bul something was missing. After his in- troduction from his corner, Richardson look off his robe only to discover that he had forgotten to pul on his trunks. Fortunately he had supporters al the boul, but his best support came from the athletic one that he had on which hid him a bil. Ile beat his opponent in five rounds, but I would have to wonder if Ray Ross might have been u litle weaker from laughing after the in- troduction. Still boxing, Oscar Bonavena was shol a killed on the weekend in a brothel near Reno Nevada, bul Police are nol giving oul any details, which in this case might be just as well. Lastlaugh is best Everyone knows thal old saying which was thought up by Hiram Hilligoosh in Montana in 1893 which states, he who laughs last laughs best. {f anyone would like lo lel goa big guffaw, please doso al the expense of the San Fransico Giants. Let's yo back in time about three or four months and remeinber the Giants coming to 'Voronto, at which lime the mayor of the Golden Gale cily bent backwards, forwards, and sideways in helping the Giants stay in the Bay area. And just aboul everyuone interested in baseball and especially those in Toronto knew thal with il being election year, that it was the politics thal kept the Giants out on the west coast of the US But and this is a big but.....All the politicians forgol aboul a simple thing as paying bills, which the team must do and it is very hard to come up with money if the team does not draw fans. Hlere now are the facts. In the very first weekend of baseball as San Fransico, they ex- pected in the first three games to draw close lo 50,000 per game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, bul the series was rained out. (Pity) Just a little better than a month in the regular schedule and the San Fransico Giants are now mired in last place in the National League West, already 12 and a half games behind the leading dodgers, and that magical figure of 50,000 has now dropped to a dismal 1,500 per game. We've had more oul to watch the Midland Indians in their hey day. Way to go, George Moscone, mayor of San Fransico, for not dropping a lemon on old hog town Ontario. I'm only loo happy to wail until next year for a team without the politics, even if they are a last place team, al least they will draw more than flies in 'Toronto. =--~ GEORGE S MARSHALL REAL ESTATE LIMITED REALTOR REAL ESTATE BROKER FOR 30 YEARS" MIDLAN AA THE PENETANGUISHENE CITIZEN HAS SEVERAL PAPER ROUTES AVAILABLE FOR SUMMER DELIVERY.
