The Markham Township Soft- ball League has grown to such heights during the past few years that an Umpire School has been proposed by a number of interest- ed softball fans, sports writers and officials. The secretary of the League, Mr. Ernie Appleton. is whole-heartedly behind the plan as is Mr. Doug James, the umpire- inâ€"chief. Every spring such a school is operated in Oshawa but due to the distance and inconvenience. inter- ested umpires find it difficult to attend. Markham Township who can boast of an OASA Champion- ship should be definitely ready to open this school where ideas and thoughts could be exchanged.

Now that the secopd part of the "A LA- knnn l‘UVV Idqu Irl-v --~. schedule has begun, there has been a pronounced difference in this matter of scoring. and the village team is bringing home a series of honors. On December 29 they played against Woodbridge for a 5-2 victory, their first in three games. Richmond Hill goals were by P. Zlnkan. J. Neal. P. Baker. D. arnA__.._.. Wllus and R. Keith.

The opponents were out-skated and outchecked at every move. P. Zinkan scored two goals and one assist and D. Willis, Red Hart and J. Neal scored one apiece.
