lt'gotficial. - 'Neotfieial-irtgtttBeehteiPan,hoeneotttte Waterloo Tigers, is officially on. Huh? Ever since the structuring of the Inter-County Major Baseball League sehedute, the Waterloo en- try has eagerly anticipated Sunday May ti, the day the “Tigers will be back, in ton" in Waterloo's Bechtel Park. The work at Bechtel Park will be pushed as weath- er permits and we are assured that the opening game with the Panthers will be held at 8 p.m. Monday May 29. But because at inclement weather in the past week, workmen were unable to make any progress on the stadium part of the field, making Sunday's opening date an impossibility. I receivHthe foilowing letter yesterday from Art Downe, president of the Tigers. The General Manager of the Tigers Champ Glass- ford advises that it will be necessary to reschedule the May 21 opening home game with the Kitchener Panthers. We discussed the Bechtel Park facilities with Ken Pflug Director of Community Services and find that because of inclement weather for the past week, the completion of the stands, grounds and lighting has been delayed. ' "It's certainly not an ideal situation but we really don't have much choice, do we? I just hope we don't hit a cold streak and come home with an 0-5 record." So the much awaited opening has been delayed, which means Tigers will play their first five games of the season on the road. How does field manager Gary Jeffries feel about that turn of events? Speaking of cold streaks,othese past seven days have been absolutely miserable. with the rain and cool temperatures that forced cancellations of the 1-C's first seven games, including Tigers opener in Toronto Sunday. That game has been rescheduled for tonight at Christie Pits. . "it's been total lost time, both for workers at the ballpark and for us as a team," said Jeffries. "We really can't iio anything in the rain, but every other team is in the same boat." T Just before the rains came last Thursday night Ti- gers played in Guelph against the Forums in an ex- hibition affair and were taught a rather decisive 9-3 lesson. However, Jeffries played 18 players including many juniors and was encouraged in sev- eral aspects of his team's game. _ "The pitching wasn't that bad. Larry Crooke was effective but had control problems and walked in a couple of runs. Junior Craig Dubecki came on and got some curve balls up that they hit pretty hard. a Keeps Pool 7-8 degrees warmer a Reduces Evaporation ' Conserves Natural Gas . Cuts Chemical Costs .
