But Boileau tried to stretch his hit into a double and was thrown out at second base. After Bob Hnatyk grounded out, Bill Shaddick laced a double to left field. But once again the Rurals threw out the CHYM'rs base runner when Shaddick attempted to make it to third. Tttursttay night, the CHYM'r bats came to life as they pounded" out nineteen hits against two Guelph pitchers. Bill Shaddick had his best night of the year as bottom of the tenth inning gave Guelph a b4 victory on Friday toTemain comforta- bly in first place.

Ab Henshaw. who was at first base made a desperate slide in attempt to beat the throw. Catcher Brian Rus- sell appeared to tag Hen- shew in plenty of time but umpire Larry Kinzie claimed the tag was not made. , Ray Holliday and Russell each knocked in a run in the second inning to lead the CHYM'rs to their win over the 76'ers Sunday at Centen- nial Park. Paul Boileau had two hits as did Russell. The only two hits that Holliday gave up were to former CHYMY Marty Myska. The Inter-City League All- Star game was played last Saturday night which saw the All-Stars come from be- hind and defeat the Lambeth George Durston Pools of the Memorial Fastball League 2-1.

He even has a.favorite spot for them...along the banks of the Conestoga River, just west of Elmira. They seem to grow in profusion there and Dr. Hawthorn has been doing field work among them since 1974, often with funding from Agriculture Canada and the National Re- search Council.

Waterloo played in Stratford Monday night against the Hotelmqu and will be at home to the Wa- terdown Lanes tomorrow Though burs, the seed pods of the common bur- dock, are a bit of a nuisance. irmay be comforting to know that there aren't near- ly as many of them around these days as there were a few decades ago. He says that records kept by earlier botanists indicate burdock. 'an introduced European plant. is not near- ly as common place today as it was at the turn of the cen- tury: at that time it was ranked fifth in a list of the 10 worst weeds in Ontario, Ws nowhere near that now. One problem with going for a stroll in the country on a Sunday afternOon is that' you sometimes pick up a lot of burs on your clothing. If you take your pet spaniel with you, you can expect to spend an hour afterwards combing out its ears.

Fyles, in the 1899 annual report of the Entomological Society of Ontario (entomology is the study of insects). Rev. Fyles reported the moth had been found at Levis. Que., and it was presumed the insect- came across the ocean in burdock heads, in straw accompanying a ship- ment of. cattle from Europe. ‘fl haven't been able to prove that this insect is what has cut down on the numbers of burdock," says Dr. Hawthorn, "but we have found that up to 70 per cent of the burdock seeds are being attacked by the larvae of this moth. In other words, far fewer good seeds are being dispersed by each plant. On the other hand, that still leaves 30 pet,cent of the seeds capable of ger- minating which should be more than enough to main- ain the local pupulation. Hawthorn.
