I m Richmond mu, Thurs., June 17, 19547 Anyone For Tennis? anyone ror Laluuai . _ NEWS ITEM: Councillor Jones enquired into the tennis courts to the back of the Municipal Hall and whether they could be used as a park- ing lot since the club was not active this year. Council stated it would be interested in buying the lights from the club and would contact the executive regarding this matter. The local tennis courts remind me of Democracy, if you don’t take an interest in it someone will take it away from you. The courts have deteriorated in the last few years and no group has come forth to get things organ- ized. A great many adults and children are interested in this fine outdoor sport but with only two courts they have felt that things would be a little crowded and they have switched their interests towards other summer ac- tivities. It is difficult for the experts and learners to co-operate in any sport and with the limited facilities the learners don’t get a chance and as the experts grad- ually retire from the game then there is nobody coming along to replace them. Perhaps this is what has hap- pened in the Hill . . . . we’ve just run out of new mat“ erial. ‘ .1 n, ,,____-.‘l--- .‘a Plus 61:le- ' l have no doubt in my mind that someday 1n the near future there will be a trend back to the game and a half dozen well-lighted courts would provide fine re- creation. There are two possible locations for the courts. One location would be the local Park so that all recreational facilities could be centralized. Or how ab- out the High School grbunds? Here you would have stuudents making use of them all day in their gym classes and the Tennis Club members would take over in the evenings. It has possibilities, so keep it in mind all ou tennis fans. Just because the present courts will arbour cars don’t give up hope. There’s always next year if you get well organized. A Lost Ball Means Bankruptcy NEWS ITEM: King Lions give Floodlights to Park. The cost of floodlighting the diamond will be approximately $2,500. I still think the chief problem with local softball is the lack of floodlights in our Park. In a previous col- uumn I mentioned that there are great opportunities for twilight doubleheaders featuring the kids and the men if we only had lights. The local team, which inci- dentally is winning its share of ball games, has trouble with its finances. The lads play every Thursday even- ing and pass the hat for funds to carry on. One evening they received the fabulous sum of $3.00 from a canvass of the crowd. This would pay for one softball. But (what I can’t figure out is who pays for the bats, ofi‘icials and travelling expenses? The Club isn’t out to make money; they would just like the exhilarating feeling of breaking even, just once. So every Thursday drop down to the Park and see your team (there’s nothing worthwhile on TV in summer anyway). §15_,00_0_ And 10_Days To Go! . a “A ‘1, , n:,1_._-__-_1 11:1! ,W, _ __ __,_ _- - On Monday, June 28 at 8.30 pm. the Richmond Hill Arena Association and its many helpers are going to meet at the Arena to decide the fate of our chance to in- stall artificial ice. The campaign will be complete and there Will be good or bad news for the children of the district. If the necessary amount has not been raised then your money will be returned immediately and the Association will put the campaign down as an indication of public opinion. Now we are a long way from our ob- jective and the next ten days will tell the story. I was just thinking, if every subscriber to the Liberal sent just $10 for a debenture, we would receive $38,000.

THORNHILL SWIMMING POOL EXHIBITION Bill Ellis Ontario Section to be held at Midweek Races To Feature Again At Pinecrest Speedway Calling all Wednesday Night stock car racing fans! 1 ! After being besieged with requests, promoters Norm Smith and Joe Cappy finally said "uncle" and have added the mid-week date to their Saturday shows at Pine- crest Speedway. Thus. the No. 7 Highway track again becomes a twice-a-week mecca for follow- ers of the speed demons. While this is good news to the jalopy addicts, it could prove bad news to the drivers now that To- ronto’s Ivan Moore has succeeded in winning his first feature of 1954. Moore, you’ll recall, seems to» thrive on action. .He ran up his phenominal 10-in-a-row skein at Pinecrest last year by keepâ€" ing to practically an “every-hour- on-the-hour" race schedule. Misses Carling Trophy Even at that Moore started too late to capture the Carling point trophy and there are a goodly number of pilots who plan to help him miss winning the $350 first prize in the $1,500 romp this season. Tied For Points Tied for point leadership (be- fore Wednesday’s races) were Willowdale’s Jack Cook and To- ronto's Fred Burnett. each boast- ing 30 points. Right behind was Guelph’s Bill Hamilton with 29. Then Iollowed Brantford's Jack The Sports Clinic How To Improve Throwing Acfioq According to Casey Stengel of the New York Yankees. the rea- son why there are so few really good throwers in baseball is be- cause when the average ball player is young he just throws and makes no particular attempt to learn how to throw. Because throwing is something everyone can do. at least to some degree, people don’t realize that a lot of time must be spent if you are to learn to throw properly.

Because .ing everyone some degree, that a lot of if you are to )erly. Conducted by Lloyd Percival The whole throwing action is dependent on the way the hand and fingers do their job. For example, the fingers must be held well behind the ball with the thumb keeping the grip firm. The thumb should be against the ball and held on the underneath side. The band should not be allowed to twist or turn when the ball is delivered but should snap direct- ly forward in the direction in which the throw is being made. The ball should be held very high in the fingers and the grip should be firm but not tight. 1 Burbridge 25. Buffalo's Gene Blair 23. and Bill Nugent 22, Strabane’s Brian Kent 20, and Moore at 19.

And, some lucky youngster gets a ride with his or her favourite stock car driver each and every race night. Just as the ball is delivered the hand should snap forward ex- plosively at the wrist. This snapping forward of the hand at the last minute is one of the key factors in accurate and fast throwing but unfortunately few ball players ever learn it proper- 131., To improve your throwing ac- tion and get more snap into your throws begin by throwing easily over short distances as you con- centrate on the proper finger. and hand and wrist action. Then grad- ually increase the distance of your throws until you are getting the same accuracy as you did with the shorter throws. Inside Tip for Shot Putters One of the common faults of both beginners and experienced putters is losing contact with the ground just before the shot is re- leased. In other words. the shot putter is in the air with his feet off the ground at the moment he lets the shot go. .4 , Avw on“, ylAvv av- In shot putting the’ human bo- dy can be compared to a coiled metal spring. If one end of the spring is anchored and it is then squeezed together. when it is re- leased all the compressed energy and force will act in one direc- tion -â€" in the direction of the loose end. No force will be lost in the direction of the anchored end. If the spring is not an- chored at either end and is squeezed then when it is releas- ed the force will act in two direc- tions â€" towards both ends. Therefore, when the shot put- ter is uncoiling if his feet leave the ground before the shot leaves his hand part of the coiled force he has stored in his body is being lost towards the ground which means he is losing part of the force he could be applying to the shot. So ‘to get 100% of your drive behind your shot make sure you keep your feet in contact with the ground until the shot leaves your finger tips.
