SPORT ECHOES

BY NORMAN MACDONALD

Irish Eyes weren’t smiiling following that crushing defeat by Jlmior Basilica Youth Club on Friday night. ‘

The lads who finished on top of the heap in the regular schedule had the ball game in the bag before the Shamrocks ever got to bat. Those six big runs in the top of the first sent the Reagan-managed new reeling and they never recovered. _ There were some who went to Friday's softball expecting another upset by the Irishman, These folks soon re ‘zed it was not lobe. The Juniors to a man were still smarting under. that 5-2 de- feat of last Wednesday and they wasted no time whatsoever in tak- ,hlg their fire out on the Shamrocks. ‘-

' After all these boys had some pride. M were the top brass all

r» ' reason long and they winced when they realized they had been

humiliated by a club that just managed to squeeze into the playoffs: The situation was indeed embarrassing.

Coach Danny MacCormack sent John Hughes. the Conrail Ban youth to the mound and John did what he’s been doing all summer— grab himself a victory. Hughes didn't hays too much pressure on him as his teammates gaves hfin a fix run cushion ever before he tossedaball.I-Iecoastedtohisfirstserteswin.'l‘hefighthadgons out of the Irish in quick order. _ v, I y _

, Jlmiors, must be considered favourites to, win this best-ohms semi-final round with the Shamrocks. They figured they’ve taken the Irishdown to WM them, know that. for them (the Sham- rocks) it’s going to be a mighty tough road the rest of the distance. And it will be tough, with B.Y.C. out to gain the final bracket in

quick fashion.

However, Shannocins‘ supporters are still able to sound optimistic. Perhaps they’ve just whistling in the dark to keep up. their courage but. at least they’re whistling. These fans of the Irish keep insisting that their 'darlings’ will bounce back to cause more trouble than the Juniors will be able to handle. They better warn the Irish to really lay it on, because these Juniors are type that know how to handle plenty of trouue.

' This evening, with the series all tied’at a‘game each. B.Y.C. mi Shamrocks will renew their softball feud. It’s likely that Mike O'Brien and Joe Thistle. starters in the opener. wils get the call in! pitching duty. Both these boys hooked up in a fine duel last , ‘ with Thistle emerging the victor. O’Brien will give It‘lll he’s got to get his personal score all even this evening.

So don't you dare miss it. Action galore is assured. You’ll be kicking yourself if you do.

i 1! C i ll .

A few weeks ago team representatives met with City Soft- ball League officials and arrived at the decision that evening lanes must go a full seven innings or be tossed out entirely. If I team was leading by a lop-sided score and darkness called a hit after anything less man‘seven innings, then the entire game mud have to be replayed. ~

That rule was changed after Flrldlay’s tussle between Sham- rocks and Juniors when darkness all but broke up the game.

Mble to prolong matters while the team enjoying the lead will do all in their power to get out as quick as possible. The result Wonk! be a cmnplete force and that’s something this league imidn't have after the fine season it has enjoyed. ‘

As matters nand now, a game halted by darkness will be “intimidated at the next WWty. thus eliminating these stalling lattices. Any afternoon games are nine inning affairs. such as he one staged by Rollaway Aces and Barry’s Lions on Saturday.

Teams can help. the situation greatly by getting to the ball field on time and having games starting promptly at 5.45. If the m(militias start at this time, then there’s abetter than even Glance of getting a full“ seven innings in.

Barry's Lions were surely a determined lot on Saturday after- lopfl when they whipped Rollaway Aces.

After winning the opening game last Tuesday, Lions found out M Thursday thhat their effort was for nothing when league of- llvilla upheld Rollaway's protest of the tussle. Then as if to rub it

Harry Callaghan sent a ~.long single to right, Jack Gallant foul- ed out to first, Clark singled scoring Baglole, MacDonald also singled scoring Callaghan and sending Clark to third.
