each and by selling tickets forlucky draw prizes at the dinner he added that a personal concern is to make the tournament as classy an affair as possible one way is through the grab bags and another way is in the trophies theyre eskimo carvings similar to the canadian open trophies j smaller replicas of the carvings will be given to the low net and gross winners fundraising dance in their

dave fockler weve got some girls who can hit and some who can play defence i think were going to have a good year in their second game against bradford debbie golds homerun in the sixth inning pushed the stingers to a 73 win however things have not gone all that well for the bantams as they dropped their third consecutive game after getting off to a 20 start in their last game stouff- villes bats were still slug gish from the previous week and they were handed a 164 drubbing by newmarket they kind of cleaned us up said the teams coach cliff dunkeld we took some batting practice the other night so hopefully that will help while his team was short four players for the contest dunkeld feels newmarket would still have won the game although lynda belisle turned in another fine pitch ing performance striking out eight were still not getting the hits said dunkeld the game started on a good note as belisle fanned the first four batters she faced however newmar- i kct still pushed four runs across the plate on three singles a walkand a double they followed that up in the fifth when seven runs scored b nans anter washed up athlete over the past couple of weeks i ha ve watched with considerable amazement and jealousy the efforts of numerous stouffville district secondary school stu dents in a variety of fitnessoriented events whether it was lisa zeck jumping her way to a staggering total of 208 straddle jumps in two mi nutes or watching craig thompson scurry up to the gyms ceiling via a rope for this old fellow i got tired just watching them and to think that old age would never catch up to me here i am an ancient 21 years and the mere thought of attempting to do two minutes worth of situps is simply nauseating three or four years ago when i too was a stunning example of a model athlete a competition such as the one held last week at sdss would have been a great way to measure my level of physical fitness but alas being physically fit is now but a dream locked into my brains right hemisphere a long way from my bulging stomach after years of playing hockey baseball football and basketball my athletic life now consists of an occasional game of slowpitch and typing at my vdt after a recent baseball game with my cohorts at the markham economist sun for two days i could barely walk up the stairs to my office while we did extremely well winning 266 run ning the bases for 26 runs became a marathon when i went up to the plate i wasnt thinking homerun i was thinking single because the bases were too far apart to run all at once looking back it was my decision to attend college that ruined any chance i had of being the next george bell or kareem abduljabbar instead of participating in athletics at college my classmates and i undertook a different challenge at a nearby tavern it always tasted great but it was definitely not less filling and while things have generally slimmed since i left the campus my waistline will never be the same but thats okay with me i wont start to worry unitl i cant see my feet besides who really wants to i be a professional athlete and make millions of dol lars playing sports
