Hartford split with the Barre club, and in Christie's mind that is just about as good. Burlington is now one-half game behind the league leaders with a makeup game to go mt" MM-mm against Miaaieoury. "We're playing better ball," Christie said i between games of the Essex twinbill Sunday, i and his charges proved him right in the: nightcap, winning 5-4 with clutch hitting and an astounding defense.

The next event for the Sports Car Club of Vermont will be an off-the-road race in South Hero, across from the Twin Bay Marina.

All interested drivers and spectators are welcome. Chris Nunnink has been coming through for 1 Christie's club, but most of his top work has fi been turned on the road. He blanked Northfield enthusiasts raced through the driver. Each driver made three runs. The and production classes were run together and the winner was Bill Smith driving a Corvette.

Smith, a Burlington driver, completed the course in 1:20.92 seconds. He was followed by Terry Riggs driving a triumph 250. He had an elapsed time of 1:21.00. In the special ladies class Vicky Buffam, driving a Mini Cooper, toured the course in 1:19.75. Her husband turned in the fastest time of the day driving the same American Legion baseball season.

There is, of course, the possibility that either or both could get knocked off, but Hartford, which went through a 1-2 weekend, and Essex, which took three on the nose from Barre and Burlington, appear to be out of the money. I The big question is the division title, and that may not be decided until the final day of play when Barre visits Burlington, the site of the Bill Collins-coached team's first loss. Down south, the situation is a little stickier with Bennington in firm command, but second place still up for grabs. Rutlfnd was considered by many to be the team to beat, but Ted Ripley rfdid a whale of a job in Bennington and his I players have the league in a stranglehold. Rutland is slipping and Leon Royce, one of ggthe greatest baseball coaches in the state, has ghis Windsor bunch playing like gangbusters.

The race in the south could end up in a real jumble with only one soft day, Saturday, Aug. 8, for the front runners. Next Saturday, Windsor is at Bennington on Sunday it's Bennington at Rutland. If Bennington wins both, the race is for second. Windsor or Rutland wins, all three spots would be up for grabs.

On the 8th, Windsor faces Chuck Neal's up and coming Fair Haven club, and if they get by Fair Haven they will probably still have a shot at the tourney. Si The second spot could be determined on the final day of the season when Rutland visits Windsor. The Tourney The tournament begins on Sunday, Aug. 16. wraps up with the finals on Aug.

22. jg The reason for the Sunday opening date is so the tournament won't interfere with the Shrine Game which is to be played the 15th. Burlington Coach Bill Christie said the tournament was set up this way so teams with players on the Shrine team would not lose the use of the regulars to the Shrine team. The players, like Barre's Tim Copeland and Eddie Corrigan, can play football on Saturday and get back into the baseball uniforms on Sunday for the opening tourney round in Bennington. at Northfield two weeks ago and last Saturday '4 Auto Cross sponsored by the -a siuppw naruura on iour mis ana tanned 19 in sports car tiuo ol Vermont, doing so Nunnink, a good strong lefty considered by I "eets the first some coaches as one of the I SffllT T.

He started the first game of a twinbill in the outfield and played well. The former Mt. Abraham star pitched the second game, going all seven innings, allowing eight hits and issued no walks.

The performance was remarkable in that Wedge has been recup- erating from a case of mononucleosis which put him in the hospital just after graduation. 5 the point standings. Those men drive are fantastic guys, both in their sportsmanship and to talk to. To get the point of working your way up to receiving an article in the newspapers take a look at Clem Despault's record. This man has had many difficulties, as everyone khows, but he put it all together and won the Quaker State 100 race, yet the mention (small mention) he received in the article was SHOCKING! He is a man who can drive well; give him a well handling well constructed car and you will see real driving abilities put to good use.

He truly deserved a bigger mention than he received or ever has had for a long time. Miss Patti Parker Essex Junction If Mrs. Dubois would ask her husband, and if he answered truthfully, I'm sure he as well as probably any one of the race drivers at sometime have done something which wouldn't be considered fair play. It is true Moe has had to work his way up to receive his great mentions, but what I think the Hector LeClair fan (including many other fans of different drivers, including myself) was trying to express is that all the drivers deserve a write-up sometime. Still, as of now, the unfortunate drivers who have not had such good luck (in winning semifeatures, etc.

at Catamount and Thunder Road) as Moe has had recently, deserve an article to be dedicated to them to show that they are appreciated for their great efforts to move up in There will be three games on the 16th with Essex Looking Essex Junction is shopping for coaches again, this time to replace Don Soderberg, who has taken the head soccer job at the University of Vermont. Supt. of Schools Hazen Wood said Monday the school department would prefer to have someone who is situated at the high school take $. the position, and perhaps the person who replaces Soderberg in the physical education department would do it. There are, however, two fine coaches in the school system, Wood I added, who are teaching at the Intermediate School.

Wood said Don Carlson and Bill Duval would be two good men for the job and they could very well eet the Dosition even thmiuh thou are 9. very well get the position even though they are the Norths divisional winner playing the North's runnerup. The losers then play, eliminating one team from the tourney. The ball clubs will then return on Saturday, jg Aug. 21, for the second round with two games slated for that day and the finals set for Sunday.

The state winner then goes to the Region 1 f- Tournament in Middletown, later in August to play for a shot at the Legion World Series in Klamath Falls, Ore. not at the high school. "It's easier if the coach is at the high school, but it isn't totally necessary," Wood said. Should Have Been Avoided wmmi More B-l-G Results Swimming A serious accident at Thunder Road Speedway this past Saturday involving Ed Doggett and Orrill Martin could (and should) have been avoided had Chief Starter Bob Quinn adequately performed his function. Doggett's car sat stalled in the fourth turn for two laps before yellow was brought out and by this time it was too late for Martin to avoid smashing into Doggett.

Had their safety equipment not held, both drivers could have been seriously injured. The point is that Quinn, as a sanctioned NASCAR flagman, is responsible for stopping a race immediately when a dangerous situation exists on the track in order to insure the safety of all drivers. This is not the first such incident. Quite a few times this season, dangerous situations have existed and have been allowed to exist for a number of laps. Yet, when one of Mr.

Quinn's "favored" drivers spins out or encounters some difficulty, yellow or red are out before the car has even come to a halt. An incidence of this occurred at Thunder Road this last Saturday when Moe Dubois spun out in turn one and slid over the bank. Yellow came out before Moe's car had even stopped. This is not a fair situation. I think Mr.

Quinn should be a Beyt II and 11 Breastreke (St M): Naytar (Ontarle) .45.1. Girls 11 and 12 Breastreke (SIM): Steval (Ontario) .44.1. Bay 11 and 14 Breastreke (IN M): Simmons (Ontarle) 1.12.1.
