Two games of the Woodbrid e and District Hockey League fina s were played in Woodbridge Me- morial Arena last week which re- .sulted in Ebenezer and Elia win- ning a game each. The last game will be played this week and the winner will receive the Clarence Graham Trophy. They weren't fooling on Wed- nesday night, April 1, when Eben- ezer piled up an 8-5 score over Elia. The first period was a six goaler affair with the first four being D. Hammett (2) and J. Wa- ters and S. Kitchener of Eben- ezer. Credit for Elia's two goals in this period went to Lloyd Thompson. B.

Self on a corner shot as the teams got under way in the second period. E. Law scor- ed again from J. Jackson. Then K. Crang carried right through to score for Ebenezer. Ebenezer real- ly came apart at the seams as K. Crang and D. Priest were penal- ized. E. Law tipped in J. Brown- ings rebound. R. Thompson then scored from L. Thompson; J. Jack- son from J. Law and K. Jackson from E. Law. When the smoke had cleared, Elia was ahead 7 to 5. Penalties, K. Crang (3); D. Priest and D. Mann. Elia was strictly on the defens- ive as the third period started. A1 Jackson drew a tripping penalty, Ebenezer stormed Elia's end and finally D. Hammett scored. J. Browning of Elia’s was penalized. K. Jackson picked up the puck and stick handled through to score. This broke the heart of Ebenezer. K. Self was taken out with two minutes to go. E. Law fired into the net. Not to be out done by his brother, J. Law also potted one. D. Hammett got a penalty through the course of the game. Final score Elia 10, Ebenezer 6. ‘Elia Wins C.

Rae Re-Elected President Markham Tp. Softball League Markham Township Softball League met recently in Markham village. The report read by the secretary-treasurer, Ernie Apple- ton, showed quite a substantial fin- ancial balance, after the purchase of the Madsen Memorial Trophy and payment of $50.00 to the championship Thornhill team. Mr. Bob Rae said he wished to withdraw as President but was pre- vailed upon to again accept the position, and the secretary-treas- urer also consented to continue in office â€" both at the same salary. It was decided to select a vice- president and John Young was voted into this position. Each team will elect one member to the ex- ecutive. Last years’ teams were repre- sented with the exception of But- tonville. but it was understood that there would be an entry. At the moment it appears that the league will comprise the same six teams as last year. There was a lengthy discussion on improving league umpiring. It was agreed that the remuneration be stepped up from 52.00 and $1.00 to 53.00 and $2.00. It was sug- gested that a "school" for umpires be held under capable direction. and that each team propose candi- dates. The date of another meet- ing. to be held at the home of the president, was set. by which time. teams are to have representatives appointed. Members of Markham Aces said that it was planned to encourage ball for boys this season and also for those who do not make the the team.

The Sports Clinic An Official Department of Sports College BUILDING “BIG LEAGUE” WRIST SNAP If you are to become a really good hitter you must develop skill at “whipping the bat" through with a sudden. powerful flick of the wrists just before you hit the ball, and to perform this “whipping the bat" movement you must develop a powerful, well developed pair of wrists and forearms. Here's how you can do both these things: First get yourself the heaviest bat you can find. Then. wrap tape around the thick part of the bat until you have made it ex- tra heavy. Now take hold of the bat as you would if getting ready to hit. Hold your hat out in front of you about chest high and start whipping the bat back and forth with a sudden hard flick of the wriss. Don't move your arms at all. Each time you flick your wrists try to whip the bat faster and with more power. Then do this with one hand and then the other until tired, and finish up by doing it again with two hands on the bat. Repeat this as ofen as possible. If you practi'se this complete stunt every day it won't be long before you will have developed two very important things that will help your hitting a great deal, (1) A pair of strong, well-developed wrists and forearms and (2) Skill at whipping your bat through at the ball with that all-important last second flick of the wrists. If you get the habit of whipping your hat through at the ball in this way and if you develop a strong pair of wrists and forearms you will have made a real stride toward becoming an outstanding hitter. So, take a tip and make sure you include this stunt in your preparation for the coming season. Early Season Track Tip If you are a jumper or sprinter make sure you avoid running on Conducted by Lloyd Percival hard pavement or ground. By do- ing a lot of running on very hard surfaces you will take a lot of the bounce out of your lower leg mus- cles. Do your running on grassy ground, a cinder track or fairly soft ground. Also be careful to run on even ground because if you run on uneven ground it will be very easy to pull a muscle; an in- jury that may bother you all year. Remember ,stay off the hard pave- ment and train on level ground. Get Lean â€" Stay Lean! If you have just been on a re- ducing diet and have come down to the proper weight you must re- member that you were overweight because you have the habit of ei- ther eating too much or the wrong kind of foods. It will happen again if you return to your old habits. Once you have reduced try to stick to a diet that will keep you healthy and fit â€"â€" but lean! Sticking to a diet consisting mainly of protein foods and the low calorie foods will not only keep you free from excess weight but will assure you a proper supply of the healthy foods and help you avoid the foods that cause trouble. Following such a diet pattern now. when young, will mean you will get a habit that will solve your ex- cess weight problem when you re- tire from active athletic competi- ion.

Unionville Curlers THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Thursday, April 9, 1953 5 Plan to Build New Ice Surface Markham Township Council has granted the Unionville Curling Club permission to make use of the piece of town- ship property situated beside the Crosby Memorial Arena. Club President Bruce Ray, who headed a four man dele- gation which waited on Coun- cil last Monday stated plans call for the erection of a new curling structure of Quonset type construction, size 175 feet by 60 feet to be located on the north side of the Arena. The new building would con- tain a basement, ground floor, and a second story. Curlers would then have an ice sur- face separate from the skat- ing and hockey which takes place in the arena proper. The one central ice making equipment will supply ice to both rinks. In order to se- cure a Provincial grant it is planned to incorporate the Curling rink into the Crosby memorial Arena. % Pipes cut and threaded to any size by power machine, while you wait.
