Richard O‘Brien Chronicle Staff Waterloo Tigers wanted a long exhibition doubleheader with Toronto Maple Leafs Sunday afternoon, but got only a short practice instead. _ o O _ "I think we‘ve had a good camp, really," Tiger general manager Paul Puncher said. ‘"There‘s a good positive attitude on the club this year." Puncher also said he is trying to import pitchers who are expected to be in the lineup before the end of the month. “'i‘ile'games had to be called due to foul weather conditions and the practice didn‘t last long for the same reason. So when Tigers played their exhibition game last night (Tuesday) against London Majors, it was their only start before their season opener Sunday when they host Kitchener Panthers at 2 p.m. at Bechtel Park. Tigers have been active in other ways, however, naming Mickey Kozlowski as a playerâ€"coach to share duties with Don Oberholzer. They‘ve also signed infielderâ€"outfielder Ren Gabriel and catcher Marty Beelen. "I really wanted that exhibition game," said Tiger field manager Wray Upper. "It could have told us a few things, but we‘re at the stage now where we‘ve got to get down to some serious practices." â€"Practice time short as Tigers prepare to start season Sunday Sunday‘s opener is billed as The Pop Shoppe Food and Beverage Day, with pop, potato chips and hot dogs selling for twentyâ€"five cents, which is also the price of admission for children 12 and under. â€" _ Also on Sunday, Waterloo alderman Jim Erb will throw the first pitch in opening ceremonies that will also promote next Wednesday‘s Great Canadian Participaction Challenge.
