BOB FERGUSON'S SPORTING FACTS Presented with the compliments of CASTLEAIRD HARDWARE & SPORTING GOODS: “Who was the first player to win baseball's triple crown?”—K. P. Stephens, Ajax, Ont, i : Baseball's triple crown—batting average, home runs and runs batted in—was first won by Ty Cobb of Detroit in 1909 when he topped the American League in batting with 877, homers with nine and runs batted in with 115. Only 11 players in the history of major league baseball have claimed this unique honor. Rogers Hornsby did it twice in the National League and Ted Williams twice in the AL. Other winners were Heinie Zimmerman, Chuck Klein and Joe Medwick in the NL, Jimmy Fox, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, Frank Robinson and Carl Yastrzemski § in the AL. : “What's the record for the longest hole-in-one?"—C. W. Taylor, Victoria. + The longest ace ever recorded came on Oct. 4 1965 on the 10th hole—444 yards—at Miracle Hill Golf Club, Omaha, Neb., by Robert Mitera, a 2l-year-old, 5-foot-6, 165-pounder. A two-handicapper who normally drives a ball about 245 yards, Mitera was aided by a 50 mph gust which carried the ball over a 290-yard drop-off. The group in front attested to the remaining 154 yards. 1 The women's record i is 398 yards by Marie Robie of Wollaston, | Mass., on the first’! hole at Furnace Brook Golf Club, in western Mass., Sept. 4, 1949.

Thanks Public For its Support Dear Sir: Once again the baseball season-has officially ended wit? the return of the all-star teamy Coaches, umpires, score- keepers and parents can now jay aside that schedule and pick up a golf club or fishing rod. We had, for the first time, two zone playoffs in one year (or perhaps I should say within one week!) and from reports of other tournaments Bob Lightle and Ken Swetlishoff, along with their helpers, should be mighty proud. Having attended two tour- naments away from home this year we can shout praise for the boys and parents. Nowhere does a team have such a following. Coaches and fans from across the province have remarked about the good conduct and sportsmanship of our groups. So for the ball year of 1973 from the Sentinel Club, I say thank-you parents, coaches, players, umpires, scorekeepers and so many interested persons. Without you we wouldn't exist.

He said details Sonny & Cher fo Enterfaln Pacific National Exhibition Back in 1965, a couple of newlyweds named Cher and Sonny Bono cut a record called Baby Don't Go. It was an immediate flop, -having fair. success in only Dallas:and Los Angeles. After another failure called Just You, the two decided to record I Got You Babe written by Sonny Bono himself. It solda coo] three million, and launched Sonny and Cher on their sensational career. Sonny and Cher perform Aug. 25 at the Pacific National Exhibition, Their coliseum, through Sept. 3. These days, Sonny and: Cher are usually identified as the stars of their own television show, the Sonny and «Cher Comedy Hour, which gained top ratings and a permanent slot in the CBS pene in December of 1971, - Between their television debut and their first hit recording, Sonny and Cher played the night club circuit for two years, usually to sold-out audiences, It was on this circuit that they developed the com- edy routines with which they spice their vocalizing. They plan to continue with recordings, together: and as singles, and they are planning some movies for the ‘future. They also hope to play concerts in, the summertime when their television work is lighter. Sonny was born in Detroit and began writing songs at 16, He was destined for a career in'i the record business before he! met Cher, an aspiring’ actress. They met on a double: date, eloped, and were. married in October, 1964. Despite Cher's continuing ‘ banter about Sonny's height— or lack of it—Sonny Bono is §-feet-7, an inch taller than his partner, © '13-74 Hunting Regulations Now Available The 1978-74 British Colum- bia Hunting Regulations have been printed and are now being distributed throughout — the province, Coples are available from all government agents and license issuers, Dr. James Hatter, director. of the Fish and Wildlife Branch, stated that there are several changes in the regulations from last year and he urges all hunters to study the regula- tions before proceeding to hunt, Fly Line Problems Solved : If there has ver beadipeub- bot {ch ; ost aber is that to vee tiv i iD ight for any one rod is diffi The an i rd ed by the fact that as the amount of line being cast in- creases, the performance of the rok usually decreases, ight be the right waht mg at 30 feet can be avy at 50 feet, resulting i in poor casting. ig thi Hee solve the line dilemma. rena on a“spring- and fall fended mark, If the line is too henvy, it drags the rod down ‘a loss of power and a cast ie heaps spon iteelf, again falling short. ‘The averay age fi fisherman can follow the rod maker's recom- aed caster ae io to mi tod and line to the fe match of cast he needs most often. the ads at Mercury au gest you begi purchasing tapered | line it yy the es welgkt er.
