Chip WASHINGTON Sports Columnist STUBBS—BARTON WHO A couple of young men from Robins AFB were playing in the Perry Coun try Club Invitational Tournament Sun day with Billy Bledsoe and Don Parke son of Perry. On the fifth tee one of these youngsters drove his ball 275 yards straight down the middle. He then turned to Billy Bledsoe and stat ed that he didn’t know what was hap pening, except that he could stand on his head and drive better than he usu ally does. This wasn’t meant to be a smart-elec statement —it was one of pure pleasure and amazement. The second young man stepped up to drive. He was a lefty and from all indications he was in dire need of a driver. His club appeared to be of civil war ventage with a piece of tape from World War I wrapped around a portion of the shaft and club head. His swing wasn’t anything to behold but the results was a precise 250 yard drive. After 27 holes these two young men, who had never played the course be fore were in at 104 for a tie with Ed die Wiggins and David Potts in the Championship flite. A sudden death playoff was necessary but short lived as it took only one hole to decide the winner. Eddie Wiggins, the 300 yards plus driver and his steady partner made par four. One young man blasted long out of the sand trap for his third shot and had no chance of winning the hole. But what about that spindle leg ged, blond with the crusty driver? He merely slashed a string like drive, lott ed an iron shot within eight feet of the flag and calmly sunk a birdie putt to take the well deserved champion ship. Congratulations go to Curtis Barton and Paul Stubbs lor their excellent play. Stubbs won an exquisite leather bag which will house that old driver. It has a lot of character despite its appearance.

Such an accident could happen to any one and fortunately John is only temp orarily out of commission. This leads me to the subject of safe ty. Many new items have been provid ed to baseball players to insure their safety. One of these items and prob ably the most important of all is the batting helmet. At one time a player was considered a “sissy” if he wore a batting helmet. Most folks felt that a player should stand at the plate like a man without that hard hat and show his bravery. In addition to the deaths caused from being struck in the head by pitched balls, here have been numer ous careers called for on abrupt halt from such injuries. If you’ve ever been hit in the head you can appreciate how it smarts. Batting helmets aren’t the prettiest architectural structures in the world or the best fitting wearing apparel. The hard plastic, ear covering, head protectors are probably the most criti cized part of the complete little leag uer. The boys gripe because they don’t fit real little (or real big) heads just right. And the parents complain that those bulky old things keep slipping past Junior’s batting eye when he swings. You often hear that most little lea gue pitchers can’t throw hard enough to dent tin foil so what’s the need of a helmet. You must remember that a boy’s head isn’t tin foil, or a plate glass . it’s a scientific mystery of flesh and thought process, complete with electr icity and brains. There will never be a time when a ballplayer can step on a field and be 100% free from injury. But we can thank the good Lord for uncomfort able batting helmets because they have prevented worlds of accidents which could have caused serious damage.

All we need do is watch the traffic going along 1-75 to realize the tremendous number and different types of over night vehicles on the road. Camping is not far removed from our everyday way of life in that the three basic necessities; food, clothing and shelter and how you want them are your prime considerations. Let’s think about shelter. Volumes can be and are written on the subject but basically there are four types: tents, tent-trailer combinations, trailer and motor coaches. One of the most exclusive motor coaches manu factured in the U. S. is built here in Perry by the National, Motor Coach Co. It is so plush that it is hard to class as a camping vehicle. Trailers, of course, vary in size from one just big enough for a bed to some almost the size of mobile homes. Tent-trailer combinations likewise vary considerably in their sizes and configurations. Tents are really what one thinks of when one thinks of camping and like every thing else they come in hundreds of different sizes, shapes and colors. To choose the one best suited for your needs the criteria should be how many people will be sleeping in it, how you will transport it, will it be used all year round or just summer and what you expect its useful life to be? A hiker planning to carry his tent by backpacking must sacrifice size for weight. Another important feature to be considered Is the ease or difficulty with which it can be erected. Nothing is more fun than a good family camp ing trip and the key to success is planning and having the right equipment. Give it a try!
