Tuesday's Retirees outing on the Rossland
course saw 51 members present, a slight drop from
our two previous outings. The Scott boys, Don Krug
and Bart Dudley bad honey pot-points, bidden holes,
high and low, and the long putt on number nine and
the winners of balla were, for honey pot, ,Joe Bielli,
Bill Vickers and Jim Scott for the long putt on nine.
That venerable old gent, 85 and getting better
all the time, Gil Page, proved be still bas a steady
band by sinking an 11-footer for a win. 1be bidden
hole winners were Al Dixon for high on number
seven and E. Defoe for low on number two.
Our clubhouse gents bad grilled ham and
cheese sandwiches and a great dish of beans on the
side for us. They will have a new surprise every
Tuesday for you all Let's all get in there and show
Bill and Dave wae appreciate their efforts!
Other summer sports are starting to flex their
muscles now. The Rossland Eagles bas a mixed
slow-pitch league which I'll be watching on Sunday
afternoon. They play every Sunday at 1:30 p.m. at
Cook Avenue Park, which I see bas been given quite
a face-lift job. I bad a report on aching muscles and
sundry bruises and strains which some of the older
guys will have to watch out for in the future.
The Legion bas its usual slow-pitch team which
play in a league of other Rossland and Trail teams.
This team bas been quite a consistent winner in
their league for a while now. I bear the boys can use
a llWe financial help so any of you Legionnaires
with spare cash laying around, there is a good place
for it. The way these guys play it, slow-pitch can be
a pretty good spectator sport.
I would say that anyone who wished to, got a
good chance to look at the Man in Motion when be 9 •
passed through Rossland recently. A very gallant ·

young man, Rick Hansen is well-spoken and with a
heart as big as all outdoors. His talk to the young
people at the park outside the school made very
clear what be feels their aims and objects for the
future should be. Rick is clearly our man for all

seasons.

Now to the big baseball leagues: in the
National, Montreal Expos are a respectable third in
the East. In the American League, Toronto Blue
Jays are in third spot in the East Division.
It looks as though the two Canadians are not in
too bad shape, neither team bas pitchers who are
exactly setting their respective leagues on fire but
both have some fairly good hitters who can win a
ball game for you with timely bits.
As I write this both series in the Stanley Cup
playoffs are going on. Philly seems to have gotten
Montreal on the run and Edmonton seems to have
found the secret for beating Don Holmes favored
Red Wings, you score the winner with only 30
seconds left which doesn't give the opposition much
time to tie it up.
However, even if Detroit does lose we have to
give Jacques Demers and his fine hockey team a
great big round of applause for the great job they
have done for themselves this season, from a
nothing team last season to challenge very strongly
for the Stanley Cup this time around. Asl>on would
say, "it ain't finished yet" and Yogi would quote,
"It's never over till its over."
To golf for a moment. Nm week the Retirees
will have Chris Christiansen and Carl Seefeldt on
the desk, I don't know if Bart trusts his leg yet to
golf, if not, he'll help, no doubt.
Now its time to say
"Tll nm time then!
