From the President, Ed Loranger:  
   This was supposed to be a very hot 91+ degree day.  Ended up 84 degrees.
   Still a good sweat though.  Due to the heat, Gail Sluys took over
   my position on stats, thereby freeing up an A-1 group slot, and freeing
   me up to pitch too!  Ironically, the #7 postion in A-1 was captured
   by the smiling Casey Sluys -- whom has never pitched in the championship
   class before.  So congratulations to Casey for surviving the battle
   'Up' there!
   
   Charles E. Dubs handled tournament director duties.  Thanks C.E.!
   
   Due to the strange weather, we put in extra work in last Tuesday.  Still,
   some of the pits were crumbly and dry from the sudden heat wave.  One
   comment I got was that we should turn the 'entire' pit once in awhile,
   so everything gets mixed up well.  Noted.  Let's all make an effort
   to turn ONE Pit, in its entirety, at each tournament or Tuesday meeting.
   Get the whole pit damp, turn it over from front to back, clean up the
   gutters, sprinkle some more water, and turn the top again lightly.
   Should have an excellent pit after that.

   Charlie E. Dubs had sent a letter to the Northern Cal. clubs asking
   to honor Chet Carter.  Chet is a member of ALL Northern California
   clubs, and at leat one Southern California club.  Charlie proposed
   that all clubs provide a 'Chet Carter Open' tournament in 1998.  So
   far one club has declined dut to insufficient room in their schedule.
   Wouldn't it be neat to win a 'Chet Carter' plate from each club!!!!!

   Thanks to Charlie's hard work, and the cooperation of members, we
   had a well run tournament.  Thanks Charlie!  Thanks Pitchers!

   -Ed Loranger, President Sonoma County Horseshoe Club.
