Olympia 12 Recreation Scene by Ron Marchildon é Penetanguishene recreation coordinator Please keep a sharp eye and ear for our ad- vertising regarding our-Community School Recreation Programs. I'm sure you will be more than pleased with the number and variety of programs being offered this year I am still short a few teachers for this coming year. If anyone knows of someone who is capable of teaching baton I would appreciate hearing from you. I would also like to hear from people who would be willing to teach the various crafts. Last Thursday evening a meeting was held to form an executive for the Girls Ringette League. As usual only three people showed up. If this trend continues I am afraid that the Ringette League will cease to exist. I really can't figure out where all the parents are. Last year we had approximately 125 girls playing the game but only two adult coaches. It has come to the point where the faithful few who have done all the work for the past few years are fed up. It takes money to operate this league and it takes adults to raise the money and look after the coaching. If the parents will not get involved I'm sure other people would use the ice time set aside for ringette. Come on People don't wait for someone else to do the job for you. A reminder that registration for Cubs and Scouts will take place on Monday, September 13th, 1976 at 7:00 p.m. in Laboureau Hall in the basement of St. Ann's Church. Georgian Bay Fastball League L.A.

David Robillard and Blair McReynolds each scored two goals in the game; while Peter Roi and Ken Leclair scored one apiece. The game scheduled for tomorrow night against Lafontaine has already been forfeited by Lafontaine. In their last meeting Penetanguishene clobbered them 14-1. Penetanguishene coach Gordon Fleming said the team forfeited the game because it felt it had no chance of winning. The game will go into the record as a 1-0 victory for Penetanguishene. The only remaining regular season game for the Penetanguishene team is one against the Collingwood '"'B" team. No date has been set for that game, which is a make-up game for one postponed earlier in the season. Rleming would like to | thank Erie Deininger, who refereed all the home games, and Bert Dubeau and Ray Robillard, who drove the team to its away games.

Councillor Mary Rogers acted as donkey attendent for the game, holding the donkeys for the batters, who had to leap on the animal's back before heading for first base after getting their 'Batter up! hit. There was no such thing as a strike-out in the game as each batter stayed at the plate as long as it took to hit the ball.

Cop Shop 22.0 Taiking | sports by Tom Shields This past week certainly has been a week of surprises in many sports and especially the Canada Cup series, and in the world of football and baseball. The Canada Cup series is nicely underway amidst lots of interest and money. The Sweden- USA game last Friday in Toronto was a little slow in getting the people going as there is hardly a hockey fan in Toronto who is used to watching a hockey game at five o'clock with it stretching throughout the supper hour. Canada received its first scare early in the tournament courtesy of the USA team and Bob Pulford. Although Team Canada outplayed and outshot the USA, it was still only a 3-2 game, not counting the empty net goal. At the same time, Sweden scored late in the game to tie the Soviet Union, who in my opinion have one of the weakest teams in five years representing their country. Undoubtedly, the Russians would be stronger if they had Yakushev in the Jineup and a few other players who we have seen before. BUT, there also might beha little case of the other teams or countries improving their game and starting to catch up to the Soviets. Sweden has come up with a top notch team, made up of many pros from our league, and Finland would be stronger but they had to leave four players at home dto do work commitments. That reminds me of our Allan Cup for Senior hockey over there when players can't get time off work. The biggest surprise of all I feel has to be in the USA team as Bob Pulford has taken a bunch of "no- name"' players and has molded them into a decent hockey team who could have beaten Sweden if it weren't for many trips to the penalty box in the first period of their game. And with luck they could have tied or defeated Team Canada. If there was an award for the top coach of all the teams, Pully would win it hands down. One last mention of this series has to do with money and they certainly are making that, and lots of it. Fifteeri bucks a seat at the Gardens if you want to sit lower than the birds, and you are forced to take all five games at the gardens, not just the final game or the playoff game. Programs are being sold at three bucks a shot: hockey sweaters in any team colours are going at $19 which is about five bucks more than they normally are sold, and there are posters at ten bucks a crack and this doesn't count all the money from the sale of TV and radio rights. Because the NHL announcers are under contract to Molsons, and Carling-OKeefe has money in this tournament, the Gallivans and Hewitts are not allowed to broadcast this event. Two weeks ago baseball had four teams running away with their divisions and technically were favourites to win their divisional champicnships hands down. Then the tides turned. Pittsburgh is making a good run at Philadelphia and only 5 games separates the two teams and in the American league the fightin' feudin' Oakland '*A"s are a mere 6 games behind Kansas City and Cincinnati is 7 games up on Los Angeles. The only team that has a comfortable lead is the New York Yankees, the one team that I felt would have trouble holding onto the top spot. With just one month left in the final schedule it should be a good stretch drive. That is a catchy headline and true the Argos are now missing the Big "Zee" from the lineup after a weekend game in Montreal. He was hit by a block when he was chasing down a Montreal ball carrier in the game and took a tremendous block on the blind side. This is crushing loss for the Argos as the Big Zee was the only member of the double blue who has done any scoring in recent weeks. The other bad news for Argo fans is that the Tiger-Cats have finally caught Toronto for third place and final playoff spot in the east, and they look good for thicd as Jackson's troops seem to be folding in the middle. ~e Gulf NA LORNE RANCE GULF STATION ELMVALE BEST BUY Gas x Oil Batteries Tires Mechanic On Duty Bill Clark General Contractor Landscaping -- Excavating Sand and Gravel Supplies ELMVALE Res. 322-1603 Bus. 322-2545 | Georgian Bay Fastball League Playoffs Garrisons vs. LA Boys Thursday, September 9 Sunday, September 12 Tuesday, September 14 'ROTO TILLER HILLSIDE Sales, Service, Rentals Compaction and concrete eqpt.
