And Benedict wants this house to be made of all the female softball players in this city. He already.has the "‘roof"‘ in the form of the Kâ€"W Dutchmen Homes but the problem is the house has no foundation. Dutchmen Homes are a conglomeration of junior, intermediate and senior B calibre players, but Beneâ€" dict foresees the day when a Waterloo women‘s team will lock horns with the likes of the Kitchener Kiesâ€" wetters in the Ontario Ladies Senior Softball League. **Pitching was the only difference in the Kieswetter game, we‘re not that far behind them butâ€"we have to have an established system with good coaching to deâ€" velop our own (Waterloo) talent,"" said Benedict. ‘‘*We‘re letting too many players get away from our city right now because we aren‘t senior. Why should a girl play intermediate when she‘s senior calibre? In order to stop losing them we‘ve got to go senior in the next one or two years." ‘*We want to build a complete system of local players right from minor ball to senior A," said the field manager of the Homes, an entry in the 11â€"team Midâ€"Western Ontario Ladies Fastball League. The Homes recently played Kieswetters and dropped a narrow 5â€"3 decision, before dumping Waterâ€" ford 6â€"2 in their season opener last Wednesday. In fact, their ace hurler, Patty Macintosh, came to them from the northern Ontario community of Dryâ€" den last year. Only 16 at the time, Macintosh exâ€" pressed a desire for highâ€"calibre competition and had relatives inâ€"the area so the Homes were a logical choice. Because of a lack of a feeder system in Waterloo, Dutchmen Homes rely on drawing from the junior ranks and surrounding areas of the region to get their talent. â€" © Some other players on the squad, which evolved from the former Waterloo Ghost organization, came to Waterloo as castâ€"offs of the Kieswetters. **Yeh, they cut some of them but they‘ve been playâ€" ing so well, Kitchener is back taking a second look," said Benedict. . One of the best known grads of the Dutchmen Homes is hurler Gail Beuerman, a WLU student now toiling for Ontario senior champion Milverton Suns. But Homes are still strong on the mound with Maâ€" cintosh, Cindy Gignac and Pauline Bain. Around the infield Homes have a wealth of exâ€" perience. Catcher Marianne Mederak has played for the club for four years, as had first sacker Mary Reinâ€" hart.

Nancy MacCullum, a graduate of the Kâ€"W Civitans junior club, is at short. fastball for five and a half years, and has managed the Homes since Dutchmen Homes took over complete sponsorship three years ago. He is ably assisted by former Kieswetter coach Russ Habkirk and this year Pat Eldridge, former Brampton junior coach has al{o joined the Homes staff. Part of the problem of attracting women to the Midâ€" Western League is that it is classified provincially as intermediate, and the big national tournaments are junior and senior. Some of the glamor is recovered though by the many tournaments Dutchmen are enâ€" tered in. 20 One longâ€"standing league ‘entry, Shakespeare, has taken a year‘s leave of absence because it was unable to recruit enough players. Two other cities, Goderich and Guelph, joined the loop to make a 20â€"game homeâ€" andâ€"home schedule possible. _ Traditionally Ohsweken, Tillsonburg and Waterford have dominated the Midâ€"Western loop, but Benedict says his club can‘t be counted out this year. Also, the league is striving to upgrade the weaker sisters rather than dilute the powerhouses in an attempt for greater equality. Outfielders include captain Pauline Pinder, Jane Reble, Moira Johnston, Mary Anne Solomon and Chris *‘*We‘re (Homes) very competitive right now but I think if we could develop a complete system we have the potential to field a team just as good as Kieswetâ€" ters," said Benedict. ‘"Right now, someone from this city who is an excellent player has no choice but to play somewhere else. That‘s got to change." _ Keeping harmony on his squad is Benedict‘s biggest and most difficult task, as cliques tend to form, espeâ€" cially among the veterans. ‘‘On the field my greatest concern is keeping the girls up for nine innings. They are really aggressive at the beginning but if they get a big lead they tend to stall or relax until it gets close again. My job is to keep them on their toes." _ . ‘ Also, in women‘s fastball, there isâ€"a dichotomy of personalities which require constant attention. When questioned why the league uses a nineâ€"inning format if attention span is a problem, Benedict cited the considerable distance teams travel to play (i.e. Goderich, Ohsweken, Tillsonburg) and therefore want to get "theirâ€"money‘s worth."‘ â€" s *‘Besides, I can recall a lot of games we were losing that we‘ve won in the ninth," he said with a laugh. Benedict has beeir involved with Waterloo women‘s Three chosen Three Wateriloo players were among the 15 select last weekend in St. Cat; arines to represent the Ce tral West regional basketâ€" ball team.

The team will compete against other Ontario reâ€" gions in a tournament in Toronto July 7â€"9 to decide the provincial team whi will go on tour during ta summer.
