N. Shore seniors strike gold

NORTH SHORE seniors
returned from the recent B.C.
Senior Games with fistfuls of
medals from the Labour Day
weekend competition.

By A.P. McCredie
Sports Reporter

Leading the way for the North
Shore contingent in Prince Rupert
was the Saltchuckers’ slo-pitch
softball squad, who won gold in
the “B” division with a 7-2 win
over Fort St, John.

The Saltchuckers went one for
three in round-robin play, includ-
ing a 22-17 loss to Fort St. John,
who cruised through early play
undefeated,

It was another story in the
final, however, as the Zone 4
Saltchuckers, under the steady
pitching of Al Jarvis, knocked off
the favored squad from north-east-
em B.C.

After four innings of play the
game was scoreless, but in the top
of the fifth, Fort St. John scored a
tun. The Saltchuckers went to
work in the bottom of the fifth,
scoring five runs en route to an
impressive 7-2 gold-medal win.

Saltchucker shortstop Adrian
Smith put a closing exclamation
mark on the victory as he made a
diving stab on a line-drive for the
final out of the game.

With the “B” division victory,
the Saltchuckers will move up to
the more competitive “A” division
at next year’s Senior Games.

Players from the North Shore
included John Biskop, Bill
Howard, Jarvis, Jack Ratzlaff,
Adrian Smith, and manager Bob
Robinson. Also playing on the
Zone 4 team were nine players
from Burnaby, New Westminster
and Vancouver. (If you want to
