"Many wise men in the game of softball have often said if you can hit the ball, they can always find a position for you, whether you can field or not. This basically holds true for Gary Baynes as his bat is strong enough that it would make any coaches decision in removing him from a game, very difficult. But the decision is even harder as Gary plays about three or four positions as if he's been there regularly. Barring the pitching mound, unless your allowed to throw the ball behind your back, there isn't any position in the field that Gary wouldn't feel at ease at after an inning or two."

"The first thing most people associate with Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians is New Year's Eve, the traditional event for Guy Lombardo and his world-famous band welcoming in another year at some famous New York hotel. This year Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians will be far removed from both New York and New Year's Eve when they play in the Bradford
Community Centre Friday, May 27. Mr. Lombardo, a native Canadian with a 13-member band including a crooner, will play all the old favorites for about 1,000 persons at the community centre. Guy Lombardo and his band will come to town by private bus just before the performance, and be bused out immediately after. He will not be spending any time in the immediate area. With less than 200 tickets left, Mr. Travis said that it was unlikely that they would last too much longer, even considering the fact there are four months to go until the performance. Tickets may be purchased from any Rotary member."
