It was the first time this season that the Pee Wees wore their new uniforms. The jerseys are white with orange lettering, spelling MoJacks. The socks are bright orange. They are the only competitive team in minor softball that has a defined team name, a moniker they share with the local Junior C hockey team. Port Perry started well in the first game as they scored three times against East Gwillimbury in the opening inning. Paul Robinson hit a two run infield out and Lee Wilbur preceeded him with a circuit clout to right field. But they could not keep it up as East Gwillimbury won 9-3. Port suffered one bad inning when Gwillimbury scored four runs in the fourth. Jeff Cockerton had already given up three runs by the time Robinson came in with one out and a runner on second base. A Texas league base hit over second drove in Joe Weiler. Curtis Joseph scored on a wild pitch and a pair of runs came in on a double. East Gwillimbury got two more runs in the sixth but it could have been more had not outfielders Fred Cocker- ton and Wilbur made good throws to the plate with the bases loaded. CLOSE DECISION Hometown Lindsay edged out Port 7-6 by scoring a run Hurricanes nipped by Ajax in girls soccer by Cathy Collins Thursday's game was very exciting with the Homestead Hurricanes playing the Ajax Flower Shop losing 2 goals to one. The teams were very even- ly matched and the score was one to one for most of the game with Joanne Skerrat scoring the only goal, then Ajax putting in the winning goal ten minutes before the final whistle. Playing well on the for- ward line was Dana Forder and Jill Parry, and although we played a defensive game they still broke through our defence. And many great saves from our goalie Marita Kersten. Next game is at home in (Turn to page 13) in the top of the seventh after a see-saw game that was tied at four different times. Travis Lorne singled in the winning run with a runner on second to win the game for Lindsay. Port threatened in the bottom of the frame when Greg Warriner singled and Robinson doubled. War- riner was caught easily when he tried to steal home. He was the final out of the match. The outcome spoiled a good game by Robinson as he tried to win his own ball game by hitting two homers. His first shot came in the third with two men aboard. He clubbed a solo blow in the fifth. Another last inning run gave Carrying Place a 7-6 nod over Port in the MoJacks second exciting game of the day. Carrying Place led twice before Port tied it up. After scoring the first run of the contest Port never held the upper hand. Ken Green got the winning marker when he doubled down the left field line to lead off the seventh and went to third on a wild pitch before Mark Taft delivered him with a safety. The only rally Port had was a three run third inning. Craig Menzies started it with an infield single and Warri- ner beat out a bunt to put two runners on for Wilbur. Wil- bur pounded his second round tripper of the day, this {7 AA * * ®. ¥ +n ¥ = bo, Fre wed > : "3 ARR f the Toronto Blizzard, instructs youngsters during a park in Port Perry. one a long shot to right field. Port Perry is currently in last place in the York- Durham league with two wins. by Danny Millar Robin Mitchell, former Toronto Blizzard soccer player now with the Oshawa Kicks, says there is a '"'yery good standard of soccer in Port Perry compared to some other places that we've held clinics throughout the province." Mitchell made that lauda- tory statement half-way through the soccer camp which the Scugog Soccer Club held last week, July 7-11 at the fields north of the Scugog Arena. The program attracted 38-40 boys and girls ranging in age from 7-15. The session ran from 9:00 'a.m. to 4:00 p.m. during the week. It cost each youngster $45, which included a soccer ball and jersey. . The week-long program was arranged through Morris Ford, the director of professional soccer clinics, the organization that brought the camp here. Barry Page from the SSC was the first one to contact him after a chance meeting between he and Peter Roe, then playing with the Blizz- ard. Roe suggested that Port Perry might be interested in holding a session and Mr. Page agreed. He then took the idea back to the board of directors of the SSC and they okayed it. Mr. Page arrang- ed a date with the Ford people and they ended up coming to Scugog. Mitchell said that he and Roe were kept busy during the season with these clinics. "We're doing them through- out the province," he said, Seagrave courts fo open soon by Danny Millar Two Seagrave tennis courts are currently under construction and should be ready to open 'within the next three weeks" Seagrave Park Association treasurer Burt Hutcheon said last week. The posts to suspend the fencing around the courts were put up by members of the Park board a week ago. They plan to have the fences set up shortly. According to Mr. Hutcheon the town of Seagrave is situated on the dividing line between Scugog and Mari- posa townships so both municipalities will share in the cost of the construction. Mr. Hutcheon estimated that the total cost will be $23,000 and Scugog will pay more than 55 per cent of that. Mariposa has currently funded $4,500 towards the operation. A large part of the revenue has been collected from local citizens and Mr. Hutcheon said donations are going well. "I'm most happy with the results," he said. They have canvassed the area from the 14th concession to Honey's Corners. Mr. Hutcheon indicated that there will be no plans to have a tennis club in Seagrave because they want the courts to remain open for members of the public. He said they will set up a "prime time" for members of the Park because of the work they have put into-the construction of the courts. There will be no lights on the courts because the Park Board has more important priority projects. Eventual- ly, though, they will study the need for lighting if demand is sufficient. Mr. Hutcheon expects that there will be a heavey interest shown in the courts after they open, but anticipates it tapering off shortly. The park was built four years ago and since then the Park Board has added a playground, washroom facil- ities, and two softball diamonds. for tennis "We've got them booked every week throughout the summer." This week the professional soccer group is holding another clinic in Oshawa. The week before they came to Port they were in Tyrone. They hold sessions all over Ontario and even have a few bookings in the United States. Mr. Page stated mid-way through the week that there had been no problems. "Everything is great, we haven't lost any kids. We've had a 100 percent turnout every day." He also indicat- ed that there would be another camp next year. George Gibbs and Robing Prentice, two players curr- ently on the Blizzard roster, have also appeared during the week. An interesting sidelight to the program was the alter- native plan devised by Mr. 4 Page. Had rain forced post- ponement of the practice time on the fields the players would have gone indoors at the Scout Hall. There they had a series of instructional films. Dates set £8 tourneys The Port Perry Tennis Club has set dates for its three major annual tourna- ments and have been asked to attend Kawartha League Invitational tournaments, the next one coming in August. The first Port Perry tournament is the Ladies and Men's Doubles that is slated for July 19-20. Entrants are charged $4.00 per team. * Kawartha Men's and Ladies doubles tourney takes place on August 19-20 in Oshawa. Port Perry holds its Mixed doubles meet on August 16 with an entry fee of $5.00 per couple. w Finally, the major tourna- ments, the Men's and Ladies singles, go on the weekend of September 6-7 with an entry fee of $3.00 for each player. The elimination rounds of these tourneys are to be ' played earlier in the week, starting Wednesday, Sept. 3.
