First Game Richmond Hill Ford Vâ€"8 Juveniles play their first game in the champâ€" ionship play-downs of the Ontario Juvenile Hockey Association at the local rink tonight (Thursday) with the fast Newmarket team as oppon- ents. The local pucksters won their group honors defeating Stouffville in the play-offs. They lost the first game at Stouffville 5-4, won here by a score of 3-1 and won the third and deciding game on Markham ice last Thursday night by a score of 5-2. Newmarket won their group after a hard-fought series with Sutton. The Redmen from the. canal-town are highly rated and fans can look forâ€" ward to an excellent game tonight. The boys on the local team are now going along in fine form and manâ€" ager Andy Anderson and coach Cecil Mabl-ey are conrfident that they will put up a real struggle before pass- ing up provincial honors. Richmond Hill won a decisive vic- tory from Stouffville at Markham last Thursday. The first period got off to a very slow start as both t'eam‘s were holding their checks closely. After ten minutes Brock- bank put Richmond" Hill in the lead ery man played his position effecâ€" tively. For Stouffville Abel was outstanding and turned in an excel: lent game. on a paSS from Norm MalblEy. From this point on the play even-ed up and both teams had some close calls. Joe Morris scored on a solo rush at the 12.55 mark to put Richmond Hill two goals up. The second period was five min- utes old when Abel scored for Stouff- ville on a scramble in front of the nets. This goal made the Hill boys work all the harder and Wilson Beresford‘ made' it 3 to 1 for Rich- mond Hill on a pass from “Tubby” Barrow. The third period opened up with plenty of speed as both teams turned it on. At the 7.35 minute mark Ron Lunau scored for Richmond Hill to give the boys a 3-goal lead. Then came a golden opportunity for Stouffville. Barrow received a pen- alty for roughing and seconds later Norm Ma‘bley received one for tripp- ing, to leave the Hill boys two men short. However the boys played real hockey and held Stouffville scoreless until they were at full strength aâ€" gain. Stouffville clicked on a long shot through a maze of legs and sticks to make the score 4-2, Barker getting the goal. Second-s later Ron Lunau scored on a solo rush to make it 5-2 for Richmond Hill. Thus the game ended Richmond Hill 5, Stouffville 2. It was a good hard-fought game from start to fin- ish and The local Iboys deserved the victory. All members of the team played g‘ood hockey and‘ it would be difficult to pick any stars. Their team work was commendable and ev- RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23rd, 1939.

Junior Farmers Carnival Enjoyed By Record Crowd Aims. L- .imVlES RENNIE Of Markham Towns-hip who was this week re-elected President of the On- tario Reforestation and Conserva- tion Association at the annual meet,- ing held in Toronto. The Richmond Hill arena on Thurs- day night last was aâ€"hum with Junâ€" ior Farmers from all over the Coun- ty, the occasion being their annual County Carnival, and most of the County seemed‘ to be there. Accord- ing to Reeve J. A. Greene who never misses this event, this was one of the largest crowds the Junior Far- mers have ever had on the ice. The weather was rather cold for a large turn-out of fancy costumes but the “old gray mare” staged by Merland Deavitt and‘ Morley Cook of the Poplar Bank Club at Sharon, really took the oats.
