They left seven runners By Martin Zielinski One of the bright spots of the Waterloo Tigerst first season has been thehitting of their 19 year old second baseman Dan Collison. Going Into Monday night's game against the St. Thomas Elgins the Tigers June player of the month was leading the Inter County Sen- ior League with a batting average of .394. This is the first season in the league for the Brock- ville Ontario native. The past four years he was a catcher ftr his hometown Bunnies of the Connie Mack League in Eastern Canada. Last season his .477' average earned him the league's batting cham- pionship, a contract offer from the Philadelphia Phil- lies of the National League and an invitation to work out with the Tomato Blue Jays. Dan turned down the Phillies' offer and accepted a baseball scholarship from St. Joseph's College in Philadelphia where he will begin this fall. Meanwhile. the Blue Jays are pro- viding him with the financial backing to spend the summer playing for the Tigers. Making the transition from the Connie Mack League tothe Inter County Senior League hasn't been difficult for Collison but he admits that the pitchers are much faster and smarter. Batting in the third position in the Tigers Lineup he sees a lot of fastballs because of the ability of Brian and Bob Schnurr to get on base ahead of him. A tall, lanky left handed hitter, Dan seldom gets any pitches on the outside part of the plate where he can extend his long arms. His seven doubles in 71 at bat reflect his power but his low home run production (one) is a result of his effort to drive the balls through the infield gaps. Currently, his powerful stroke is les- sened because of a pinched nerve in the lower back suffered in an automobile accident three weeks ago. Dan admits that his defence needs work, but it has been his hitting that has gotten him this far. He had been a catcher since he was 14 years old, and before then. a pitcher until a shoulder problem forced him to descend from the mound. At the age of 16 Collison played baseball for 80 dollars a week in Holland where the game is fairly popular notwithstanding the enor- mous following of soccer. As far as the future is concerned, Dan would like to sign a major league contract after a couple years at St. Joseph's. If visions of major league status don't materialize he hopes that a Physical Education major in college will lead him to a teaching job in the field. Mon.

' By JoAnne Ford The Waterloo Athletic A's, coming back strongly after a disappointing 2-0 loss to the.Kitehener Rangers in the WWSA Cup. won decisively over Clarkson " in Clarkson, Sunday. q Waterloo, playing with the wind, attacked aggressively from the beginning. During this half they were able to con- tain Clarkson in their own end. The opening goal came when Sam Michaels took advantage of an error by the Clarkson goalie. Michaels played well, creating several good chances tor Waterloo to score later in the game. The second goal, which was set up by some hard work on the part of Steve McNab, was scored by Nazar Brilhante. In the second half, Waterloo continued to dominate play. Even though Clarkson had the wind advantage, they could not get the ball out of their own end. Waterloo was consis- tently beating them to the ball and using this to their advan- tage. Midfielder Malcolm Lobban, running on to a well placed through ball from Bill Matty, caught the Clarkson defence springing their offside trap, and scored. Waterloo had many more chances, Sam Michaels hit the post later on, but failed to score any further goals. On the whole. Waterloo played welt, taking advantage of Clarkson's mistakes. Waterloo goalie, Gary Zettler, alth- ough not greatly tested, also played well, earning his second shut-out of the season. The Athletic A's, in third place in the league standings, are in action at Toronto SCSB, Sunday, in the League Cup Quarter Finals. .
