PAGE 34 â€" WATERLOO CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY APRIL 6, 1988 ~Mark Bryson Chronicle Staff Barry Musselman wanted to resume his playing career and the Waterloo Chym‘rs were fortunate enough to have an experienced field manager already in their midst. The end result: Ron Nicol, 50, will take over as field manager for the 1988 Interâ€"City Fastball League season and one of the players under his scrutiny will be Musselman, 32, who has agreed to play anywhere Nicol assigns him. Musselman managed the club last season. _ _ i S tee \T RCARISHOWA wamze= . Â¥7 “- 1 a /.. & t 4- w / w * *‘ A native and resident of Guelph, Nicol was first base coach with the team last season and has been involved with senior men‘s fastball for 30 years, over 20 in a coaching position. In 1965 he coached the Guelph Dairy Queens when they moved from the Royal City League to the "We‘re looking for a couple guys with good sticks to improve on last year‘s (fourthâ€"place) finish. Anybody who wants to try out will get a good look," he said. _ Nicol took his first look at the team last night at an indoor session at Moses Springer. The club will work out twice weekly, Tuesday and Thursday from 8:30 to 10 p.m., until they can move outside. Players who think they can contribute to the club are invited to try out. "We‘re really looking to improve the ball club this season," said Nicol in an interview Monday. "I‘d say we‘re about two or three players away from giving the top teams a serious challenge." 4 S | & â€"~ | Lhe Tun iy the sA CHYM‘rs open season in just over a month 75 KING ST.

He moved to Owen Sound Canadian Tire when Kitchener folded. "I think Owen Sound will be the team to beat again this year," said Nicol of his former charges. Owen Sound defeated Waterloo 1â€"0 in the final game of their bestâ€"ofâ€"seven opening round series last season. He coached the Guelph Ingrams during the 1970‘s and topped off the decade with a IFL championship in 1980 over Kitchener. . Jim Clayton, Rick Beedie and Dan Yantzi have been signed to pitch this season and will be the club‘s only pitchers "unless someone walks in from the clear, blue sky", says Nicol. Yantzi played with Cambridge Gores last season while Beedie and Clayton toiled with the Chym‘rs. Milse Pederson (CF), Graham Nesbitt (C), Larry Strathearn (1B), Mike Near (SS) and Dean Musselman (2B) are also back this year. The club will carry 15 or 16 players this season, which begins May 12 against Owen Sound. The league has been reduced to five teams with two clubs closing shop over the winter â€" Newmarket and Simcoe. St. Catharines has been added as the fifth team in the league along with Waterloo, Owen Sound, Cambridge and Burlington. An interlocking schedule is again slated with the three remaining teams in the Memorial Fastball League â€" Strathroy, St. Thomas and Sarnia. , 1988 Howard Woo was named this year‘s winner of the Bert Rowe Trophy for overall contributions to the Waterloo Cricket Club.
