in red enthusiasm for sports in orillia has hit an all time according to the towns local newspaper the news- iter the game of lacrosse which was always con- lered to be orillias national sport has been a washout far this season as far as fan attendance is concerned d baseball support is even worse the senior b hockey im was also a big disappointment to not only its pro bers but also the orillia community centre board e lacrosse situation has become so disheartening that less a new sponsor is found there will be no lacrosse of nior a calibre in the champlain centre next year m g clarke the current sponsor took over from ronto interests because he believed his home town of illia was a good lacrosse town but he is now beginning lose his confidence in the fans mr clarke is still thusiastic about his clubs chances of reaching the ivoffs but is downcast about the crowd support the ekly fan turnout to a lacrosse contest is estimated at m 800 to 1000 supporters which is considered good an intermediate class but not in senior company ere the town must compete with cities the size of terboro and st catharines in the player market the ne story stands true all the way down the line at a dget lacrosse game there were 55 in attendance while attended a juvenile contest in orillia lacrosse has mi a principal revenue producer for the arena in the nniertime and if the game goes back to the inter- diate brand next year some are worried whether it 1 draw at all the baseball picture is blacker with nparatively few turning out to the games the drop fan interest was at first blamed on lack of radio ertising and high prices the games were then broad- it and admission prices slashed but it didnt remedy situation such a disheartening setup may be caused a number of reasons but wherever

shorthanded aurora squad and took exception to a call on one of his fast balls during his season in the us the agile sportsman banished many a riled batter from the playing field but on this occasion the eviction was reversed such action on the part of players is not good for sport if carried to extremes but nevertheless the game could certainly use more of the color that such stars as loring
