Are players overworked, Ghosts‘ manager wonders Richard O‘Brien Chronicle Staff If you had to give a name to Waterioo Ghosts‘ 1986 season up to the present time, you might call it the year of the quad muscle injury . The Midwestern Ontario ladies softball team‘s pitchers have been affiicted with this leg injuâ€" ry, which is similar to a charlie horse, as Gayle Beuermann picked it up while pitching and then Patti Jo Mcintosh was similarly hurt as the result of a slide into second base. Then Wendy Hunsberger of Listowel came to Ghosts as temporary help, but she‘s also lost her effectiveness as a pitchâ€" er due to the same complaint although her injury came off the diamond while white water raftâ€" ing. All the same, Ghosts field manager Pete Mcllwraith is left wondering if athletes might be being worked too hard in view of the problems his own players Your hl:HARMACY EADQUARTERS PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT WITH DECRAâ€"LOOK SEALER Not just a wet look, it‘s an acrylic coâ€"potimar solution that is highly resistant to â€" stains, acids, oil, grease, deâ€"icing salts, etc 99¢ s1 .29 »a. patio and sidewalk slabs and more 31 .50 COME EARLY WHILE SELECTION IS BEST D.

"I can‘t remember so many injuries,"‘ said Mcllwraith, whose Ghosts lost 7â€"2 to Kâ€"W Civitans last Wednesday and 6â€"4 :o Norwich Jets the night beâ€" ore. *‘Looking back to the days I played we didn‘t have five or six games on a weekend plus two games during the week. Everyâ€" body‘s entering four, five or six tournaments a summer. ‘"‘I‘m beginning to think that the amount of stress we‘re putâ€" ting on an athlete‘s body with no rest time is why we‘re getting all these injuries."
