lliitrrir Examiner Eubiished by cameln Newspapers Limited idvaayfleld street Barrie0ntsric rumsr sun runm Come On Stroud Ontario Get In There Today were promoting an interna tional bricktossing competition of all things But its not as silly as it sounds In addition to our own Btroud On tario there areplaces called stroud in England Oklahoma and Austraha Our Btroud has been invited to loin them in an international competition in which nobodyd have to leave home and results would be exchanged by tele phone The people of each of these communities would enjoy bit of ath letic fun promote international good will and gain valuable publicity for their community There is possibility that the inter national Brick Throwing Match which is scheduled for July 22 may fall flat it cannot take place unless there are sufficient trained participants to at least make showing inthe fourna tion cumpetitloan which the district of strand has been challenged to com pete it is not that we have insufficient stalwarts who with some practise could heave fivepound hrick ahun dred feet or more It is just that to do this the contestant must get the knack of how to go about the heaving An American team located in stroud Oklahoma last year beat the strould England team by its excellent throw ing with three of the six man team throwing 1046 14034 and 100 feet and others close to that distance In the story that hit the press they stated that intensive trainingwas given by these players for the last weeks pre ceding the contest stroud Australia is new contestant this year and they have written that Pitching they are busy training now and hops to have special field day July 22 Innisfli PoliceChief Brown chairman ofthe stroud Ontario team hasnot been able to coax any contestants to turn out for practice outside of some members of the force Bricks winch have been donated by the Cooksvllie Brick Company are available inthe correct size and weight and ground on which to make the throws can be measured off anywhere court is ready at the Btroud shopping area and the market is offering basket of groceries for the first throw of 100 feet which has been witnessed by an other participant George Young will take entry of anyone who feels he can enter the contest Btroud has been entered in the In ternational contest but unless more contestants enter they may come from distance of 16 miles Canada will have to withdraw for the reason that there lust were not any sufficient ly interested enough to participate In recent interview James Ross who isa program director of the CBC has arranged to contact the interna tional department of the corporation to try to arrange coverage on the day of the contest so that Canada will be on par with the others making their throws on the same day All this can be done but unless we get stalwartnien from the strand area with strong right arms to come out and practise for the remainder of the time left Canadians will not be among the winners
