PAGE 10 TERRACE BAY NEWS AUGUST 25, 1976 STRIKE THREE: YOU'RE SAFE: Cont'd .from Pg. 6 loser coach had brought in four ringers from Thunder Bay to ensure an easy championship. At high noon, the ump; who thought that people had come to watch him instead of the girls, called "batter up". The ringer pit- cher from Thunder Bay made a quick mess of our first four batters but jaws dropped. when chucker Cathy Cook did a repeat number on the first five Geraldton batters. Over the next few innings, Schreiber executed some neat double plays and started hitting the ringer pitcher from Thunder Bay. The hi-lite of the game was when the smallest member of the Schreiber crew, Judy Davis, stepped in to replace an effective but tiring Cathy Cook. Heckles like, "Who let the little kid on the . field" soon turned sour when Judy struck out two of the four Geraldton batters. The final score, Geraldton 12, Schreiber 10. For a team of four Thunder Bay ringers they didn't do a very good job of cleaning us off the ' field and for a team whose first game of the tournament was their first game ever, Schrei- ' ber put in a good performance. ; ~ Then it was back to Schreiber headquarters . for celebrations and liquid refreshments. : Schreiber became the toast of the town. : Even though it was a hot weekend and minds. - fryed, the Schreiber girls remained cool and handily beat their opponents from Longlac . and Terrace Bay. The end result: Schreiber won the consolation while the ringers natur- ally took the championship. : The ringers from Thunder Bay as it turned , out weren't quite prepared for all the bad 'feelings waiting for them in Geraldton. They ended up being the scape goats for the coach - who couldn't stand losing. Even though the ringers and Schreiber were deadly enemies on . the field, the Schreiber crew insisted on meeting the Thunder Bay girls and all soon became best of friends. Looking back, Schreiber was the best team on and off the field. A good but rare quali- ty. ; Representing the Schreiber squad were: Holly Smith, 3rd base; Cathy Cook, Pitcher, lst base; Judy Davis, Pitcher, lst base; Colleen McDonald, short stop and the double play maker; Linda Fraser, left field; Donna McGrath; second base; Patricia McGrath, lst base; Rae Sisson, centre field (sub); Jocelyn' Guillet, right field; Cindy Mackay, back catcher. If the Schreiber girls can come up with a good team in two weeks just think if they had the support of the local ladies and were or- ganized. Think about it! BY HELEN ALLEN EE FR ER ES] THE TORONTO 5! J] SYNDICATE Kenny is 10, a handsome Cree Indian with dark eyes, black hair, olive skin and that engaging smile you see. Healthy and active, Kenny enjoys sports, especially hockey. He did well last year in grade four except that he tends to day dream and therefore needs prodding to complete assignments. In his foster home he often needs reminding to finish chores, though he is willing and anxious to please. Pleasant, amiable Kenny is a sixer in Cubs and enthusiastic about the program. He is a doer rather than a talker. He's friendly and gets on well with people but doesn't like to talk about his feelings. He needs parents who are sensitive to un- spoken worries and who have a sixth sense about what is bothering him. : Kenny could fit into a family with brothers or sisters, preferably not close in age. He will be a fine son for parents who want to share their time as well as their home with him. To inquire about adopting Kenny, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. In your letter tell something of your present family and your way of life. For general adoption information contact your local Children's Aid Society. - : | >] 2 aie x 2 & 3 1 2 5
