I THE CHILLIWACK PROGRESS, July 20, 1949 More than sixty khaki-clad golfers are currently competing in an army tournament for a new trophy donated by Meadowlands' pro, Bill "BUILD B. C. PAYROLLS" 6v Highway Construction Loses. 6-2 Britton Chucks Pickards To Win Over Roadmakers Dick Britton hurled Pickards senior softballers to a 6-2 win over Highway Construction in loop game at Hope Comes Second in Talk-Fest Swift.

Bill and crew Harry Fulton finished ahead of Mac Bowell aboard the Bergliot. Clive Newcomb and daughter Diane tacked the Bonito to third spot, well ahead of Pete Williams and Betty Wilson in the Chinook. Toward the end of the Chinook snapped a stay, and Pete and Betty were more intent on holding their craft together and afloat than in winning the race. Next came Dave Boyd in Snooky, Jack Mulford in Spray and finally, Danny Leavens.

Bernie Marshall, in Tuffy, dropped out of the race.

The home team picked up their first run in the first inning, when Eddy Joe scampered home after basing himself on one of Pickards two errors of the game. PICKARDS SET PACE.

Both squads went scoreless after that third frame until Pickards set the pace in the eighth. With Cy Newman, Pete Henry and Johnny Kovich collecting singles Pickards and Debating Societies held a hot meeting on Cultus Lake's alleged softball diamond Thursday night, finally adjourned to the Fair Grounds for another debate and seven innings of lukewarm softball. f' ALL-BRAN regu- paTT larly.

The highwaymen got two hits and a run in the bottom half of the same frame before falling victims themselves to similar outfield fly-chasing. Dick Britton doubled in the ninth, to score Gordie Pyvis, who was base-running on his third walk of the game. Britton Co. re turned to the field to hold the losers scoreless in the last of the ninth. GET EIGHT HITS All told, Pickards collected eight hits off Highway Construction pitcher Mike Dome, who gave up three walks all of them to Gordie Pyvis and fanned five Pickard batters.

Britton was a trifle more steady than Dome, allowing six hits and two walks while fanning five. The game was a replay of a tied contest. on the sidelines Strictly a sideliner these days at Pickards' softball games is pitcher Lai Britten, who was the kingpin of the outfit until he suffered serious knee injuries while base-running in a league game June 20. Teammate Bob Harwood broke a rib in the same game, but has been back in action since. Big Lai still turns out to games, coaching base-runners and egging his buddies on.

Agassiz baseball club shared two wins of a double-header against RCSME Sunday. Army took the first game, 2-1, while Agassiz won the second, 7-4. tories in both debates, and were almost as good in the softball diamond. A loud minority doubted the validity of the Picks' oratorical triumphs, but nobody could deny they won the softball game, fair and square, by a 5-2 count. The first and hottest debate raged at Cultus Lake over the condition of the home diamond.

Said Pickards: "Unfit to play on." Said "Other teams have played here without a squawk So can you." But in the rebuttal, Pickards cast doubt on the character of Chilliwack softball officials who had okayed M's rock-infested field. And the home team, perhaps hopeful that something might still be done to improve the sorry situation, agreed to move the game to the Fair Grounds. STRICTLY AB LIB More of an impromptu nature and far less passionate was the word-slinging that went on at the new location. Both teams earlier had insisted "We don't want the two points (for winning the game) You can have 'em." And when they arrived at the Fair Grounds, the boys were all for taking Pickards up on that offer, even going so far as to claim "We've already won the game by forfeit If we play here it'll only be an exhibition game." AND SOFTBALL, TOO Pickards squashed that argument with stout insistence: "League game or no game," then followed it up with five runs to M's two in real, honest-to-goodness softball. Pickards scored three of their runs in the top of the fourth inning, having scored their first two batters in the first frame.

Despite their sloppy, somewhat confused field work, they held to one run in the second and one in the seventh. Even Pickards' George Ferguson normally one of the most dependable infielders in the league had trouble controlling bingles that came his way. FERGIE'S OFF NIGHT Ferguson committed two of Pic kards' six errors, but made up in part for his mismanagement by picking off Fred Prestley at the home plate for the final out of the game. Although he appeared more erratic, M's Wally Borgens accomplished as much on the mound as did Pickards' Del Patch. seven innings, Patch gave up five hits, Borgens four.

Patch walked four, fanned three, while Borgens walked three, fanned three. Errors were Pickards, six; four. Crowds Watch Life-Saving Demonstration Something out of the ordinary for weekend Cultus Lake crowds was a demonstration of life-saving, high-diving and precision swimming by members of the B.C. branch of the Royal Life Saving society Sunday afternoon. Opening the one-hour show by demonstrating methods of rescuing drowning persons and applying artificial respiration, the Vancouver swimmers went on to show Ingenious ways of improvising "water wings" from pieces of clothing, and positions to be used when diving into the water, depending on whether the diver wishes to achieve speed, dive deep or avoid the dangers of shallow water.

Satirizing swimmers, divers and life guards were comics Ed For syth, Bob Mercer and Gerry Dineen. High divers Wilf Bacon, who holds the B.C. indoor crown, and Bernie McHale supplied thrilling samples of what aquatic fans will see when the province's best boardsmen vie for honors at the Jaycee Regatta next month. Finale of the show was the precision swimming done by Lynn Mercer, Mary McWhinney, Sybil Berry, Pat Pinkus and Diane Johnson, iii time with musical accompaniment. Other aquatic performers were Colleen Gallagher, Joan Robinson, Mary Shore, Irene Kil-patrick, Joyce Robinson and Mary Aitken.

By HAL TENNANT Still Alive Yet Roger Dahl carries the nickname "Yet," because according to ihe latest reports, he is still alive yet. But the odds are against Yet and his eight buddies living to ripe old ages. These nine young men with more guts than brains but plenty of both, just the same comprise "Satan's Hell Drivers," a bunch of boys who make a living out of smashing up cars without smashing up themselves very often.

Where you or I would get nothing more than a few lines on the police blotter and a comfortable hospital bed for rolling over a car or hurtling it off int space, these boys get well-earned cash and plenty of fans to watch them. At the present time Yet has more chance of growing old than have most of the others in the show. A product of two years at Miami Yet wanted to be a sports announcer. When he first joined the show he found himself clutching a steering instead of a microphone. But these days he is back at the mike describing the daredevilry of his buddies.

Share the Risk But like the others, Yet is cap able of doing most of the stunts in the show. They change around from stunt to stunt, he says, so one man doesn't have the hardest stunts to do all the time. One ex ception to their switcheroo system is the motorcycle "suicide" jump which only stuntsters Tarvor and Smith can do. Having the nerve to try a stunt the hardest part of the business. The hardest thing, Yet says, is being able to continue doing a stunt after you've been hurt at it.

But like parachute jumping, auto stunt work doesn't bear practising. You do it right the first time or you don get another chance to try it. The boys just get together, discuss a new stunt idea; devise ways of minimizing its dangers, then add it to the show. A Slight Problem Right now they're mulling over a plan for a Roman riding act, where a man will straddle two cars as they go up over the ramps. "All we have to figure out now is how to keep the guy on top from getting killed," the boys say.

Originator of the show and the man who handles the booking and splits up the annual profits among the troupe's stockholding performers is Freddy "Satan" Lamont, a wiry little guy with a Van Dyke that makes him look like the Devil. At 37, Satan is the old man of the troupe. Youngest member is only 22. Like several of his boys, Satan has spent time putting car crack-ups on celluloid in Hollywood, where the Hell Drivers show originated four years ago. Most of the boys are Californians, but a couple come from points as dis tant as Louisianna and Minnesota.

Hot-Rod Handicappers During their off season, most of the Hell Drivers go back to movie work or to hot-rod racing an occupation that started most of them in the car-stunting business. You'd think it would be a single man's game, but there are only three of us who aren married," Yet points out. Three of the stunsters take their wives along with them wherever the show travels. Part-time performer and only Canadian member of the troupe is Al Klatt, a Vancouver stunt-man who- joins the show each time it tours B.C. A motorcycle specialist, Klatt is currently being treated for injuries received when he crashed through a sheet of glass in Saturday night's performance.

But even with a slashed tendon in his knee, Klatt got off comparatively easy. After all, like the rest of the Hell Drivers, he's still alive yet.
