,BUT IT WON’T KEEP YOU WARM! r N muxmmaxwwwmmmmmm_ If you want to be a success at stock car racing. use your head more than the gas pedal. That’s the advice of Toronto's Ivan Moore, “the 25-year-old speed demon who is currently the hottest thing on four wheels at Pinecrest Speed way.

The only happy thought his conâ€" freres might have is that Moore’s late start â€" he didn’t score his Initial "major" triumph until July 29 â€"â€" could cost him his chance 101' the Carling trophy and the $1.- 000 that. goes with it come season’s end.

" However, the lure of money is fast making Pinecrest the roughest track around with feelings running high â€" and getting higher among the drivers. Last week Burbridge received a one-night suspension for banging Nugent into the fence and Promoter Norm Smith has is- sued a warning that more such penalties will be handed out unless tine boys stick strictly to their knit- t ng. Another set back occurred to Ivan after he scored his fourth straight win. August 29. A check was made on his engine and. when it was found to be over-sized, he was disqualified â€" losing his purse and points. Moore rectified that situation and came right back to triumph the next time out. Now unless some- body can stop him soon, Buffalo's Bill Nugent and Brantford’s Jack Burbridge had better look to their one-two point lead. In the 50 lap mid-season cham- pionship. Moore suffered steam burns and had to go to hospital. Then early in August he put his shoulder out of joint and acquired a stiff neck. These injuries ham- pered his bid for point leadership. op effort between him and another stock car driver.

Social Items The playoff schedule should soon be announced and we hope to see all you local fans out at the games. The Elgin Girls 'play a good game of ball and they de- serve your support both at home and at the away-from-home games. Hugh Topper September 7 saw a very unusual type of ball played at the Jeffer- son diamond when Cedar Grove and Elgin Mills played the first game of the playoffs. It was rather obvious that Cedar Grove came with the intention of letting the game be called on account of darkness. The first inning, alone saw 14 runs for the Elgln Girls while Cedar Grove used a sub- stitute pitcher and let their field- ers carry on a farcial act of at- tempting to secure the ball. Need- less to say, the game was called on account of darkness and will have to be replayed. As a result of Stoufiville falling to show up at an earlier scheduled game, the Elgin girls played at Stouffville on August 26 winning by a score of 12-6. This game should have decided the_ playoff standing but it resulted in a tie making it necessary to play an- other game on the Thursday even- ing. This game gave the Elgin an 8-2 win and first place. Well, the playoffs for the Mark- ham twp. Ladies Softball League are now in full swing and Eigin pamono; aaeld 15.19 uI spuezs smw by Stouffville, Cedar Grove and Peaches. At present the teams are striking for the 2-3 between the Elgin and Cedar Grove and the winner will then enter the 3-5 to decide the series. Elgin First Place In Ball Playoffs Correspondent: Mrs. F. 3. Leaf R. R. 2 Gormley Phone Azincourt 33512 BUTTONVILLE Remember. the more relaxed you are when pitching, the better you will do and one sure way to stay relaxed and easy is to take your time. Sometimes ,when the game gets exciting and you are in a spot. it is very easy to start working too fast. Accordingly, be sure to check up on yourself when the game is getting close or exciting. A good idea is to tell your catcher to keep on reminding you the moment you start to work too fast. It will also help, if you count to five between each delivery and then take a deep breath and relax like a dish rag as you exhale. Then, and not be- fore, you can go to work. HANDICAP TOURNAMENTS Here's the reason -â€" if a pitcher does not take enough time in be- tween each pitch he works his muscles too hard and as a result he gets tired sooner than he should and also develops an extra amount ‘of muscle and mental tension. That is why you so often see a pit- cher go to pieces in the latter part of a game. after he has looked good for the first three .or four innings. The reason is that he gets tired or loses control because his muscles tighten up and his mind gets flus- tered because of tension. You see, the faster you work. the more exci- ted and worked up you will get, so take a tip right now and make up your mind that you will take your time in between each pitch -â€" don’t work too fast. TAKE YOUR TIME BETWEEN PITCHES Possibly the most common and the worst fault of the average pit- cher is â€" not taking time in be- tween pitches. We have emphasized this point before but judging from what our investigations show, many of you still need to be checked up on this point. The Sports (“Wicâ€" FOR BETTER TENNIS One sure way to get plenty of BILL BALL MOTORS LTD. 5642 Yonge St., Willowdale-BAJ-3441 Ofllcial Department of Sports College EN and pit- be- ized rom iany 1 up Conducted by Lloyd Percival tough competition that will key your game up, is to stage regular handicap tournaments and special matches. For example: if you give a player. who normally can give you a good game, say 15 points a game. you will find that you will have to play exceptionally good tennis to beat him. ln teaching a skill or giving a drill the coach should make a point of painting the picture of how progress in the skill or drill will help, how it will mean a bet- ter chance to win. WHEN? WHY? HOW? Experiment and eXperience have demonstrated that the athlete who knows precisely why he is practic- ing â€" when and how it is going to help and the manner in which it is going to fit into the strategy and play of the team â€" will practice with greater attention and interest. Another good idea is to have a handicap ranking list at your club. The players are ranked from. say. one to 25 and then each player tries to move up in the ranking by chal- lenging anyone in the three places above him. 'l‘hese plans give ev- eryone an incantive to improve their game and create an all-year- round interest that is really keen. A. A. Eden and Mr. and Mrs. A]. White were high for two wins at the Newmarket tour- nament on Monday. Last week Mrs. Ruth Cowan and Mrs. A1 White of the local club, playing in the Globe 8; Mail doubles, reached the semi-finals.

Bowling News The Richmond Hill Bantams’ manager George Harte and Coach Grant Nighswander are grateful to the Bowden Lumber Co. which has come forward to sponsor the local lads.

Bantam Semi Final Held In Park Here On September 12 Admission 65c MIDDLEWEIGHT WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP JUAN 'LOPEZ WRESTLING AURORA ARENA ED“ MANGOTICH (Middleweight Champion) Although other cars are available, thousands of Canadians are wait- ing patiently to get their Chevrolet. No other car will do! Surely this is proof of Chevrolet’s superiority . . . and its unchallenged place in the hearts of Canadian motorists. The tremendous popularity of Chevrolet means lower production costs. It means big savings that are passed on to you! And because Chevrolet value lasts, there are extra dollars for you when you trade in your Chevrolet, for Chevrolet consistently shows highest trade-in values of any car in Canada! Final proof of good value is the loyalty of Chevro- let drivers, a loyalty that. grows stronger with every new yearâ€" with every great Chevrolet we build. Only one car can be the leader! Only one car can be the favorite! Only one car can be the most-sought, most-bought car in Canadal That car, year-in, year-out, is Chevrolet. In the first six months of 1953, accord- ing to the latest official registration figures, Canadians bought 41,660 Chevrolets. This is 12,401 more cars than were sold by its nearest competitor â€" dramatic proof of Canada’s continuing preference for Chevrolets! BILL DRINKWATER MOTORS KING, ONTARIO Phone King!
