WRESTLING DON’ T FORGET The meet proved an encourag- ing one for members and coach, Bill Babcock. who had to estab- lish two extra classes to accom- modate some younger boys who showed up. The first step in the would-be water skier’s education is a dry run on the beach. Place the skis on the sand six to nine inches apart, and slip your feet into the bindings. Then sit down on the skis, with your upper legs ag- ainst your chest, ‘and grasp the tow rope held by an instructor. This is the proper position you'll assume later in the water, and it's your-first lesson in water skiing. When the instructor pulls, Richvale girls fastball team seems to be doing right well for themselves in the King, Whit- church and Vaughan ball league as they smashed out a convinc- ing win over Oak Ridges last Wednesday night in the last game of a double header. Richmond Hill Track and Field Club will enter the Ontario Open Midget Championships to be held next Wednesday. August 3 at Varsity Stadium it was an- nounced at the club‘s first meet last Friday. Skipping across the waves on a pair of wooden slats at 30mph looks difficult, but as nearly a million water skiing enthusiasts have found out, it’s really very easy. Resultsiof the meet are as fol‘ lows: 60 yds. (under 11) 1 Simpson, 2 Morrow. 75 yds. (under 14) 1 Lovell,, 2 G. Kozak. 100 yds. (under 16) 1 Large and Passmore 3 Wood. 100 yds.

It was heads up ball for the Richvale group as they played good steady ball and capitalized on their opposition’s errors‘ to rack up a 19 to 7 victory. r r Carol Hirtz, the Richvale chucker. pitched no hit ball for five innings and looked a real big league hurler as the Oak Ridges team was mowed down one after another. Greta Dahl In the first half of the double- header played at K'mg City Mem- orial Park on July 20 in the K. V.W. league, King City Girls Softball team defeated Maple in a closely fought. well played game. The score ended 6-5. Since there were few errors, the game went seven innings.

Morley Hall and A1. White won the men's doub- les tournament at Allandale and Dr. R. K.-Young, Floyd Perkins and Gar Yerex placed high for one win in the men’s trebles tourney at Markham. Also bowling Wednesday at Allandale were Warren Hall and Jim Grainger, who took a high for one win. Bowling Results Phone 54R2 There'll be spills, of course, but this is part of the sport also. You won’t get hurt if you let go of the tow rope when amishap occurs. When you come sputter- ing to the surface, take off your skis.‘and rest your weight on them until the boat comes back to pitk you up. Some beginners however. instinctively hang on to the rope when they lose their balance. Immediately they as- sume the role of human submar- ines, can take on water, get a rope burn -â€" or even worse â€" lose their swimming suit if it is not anchored securely. Learning the rest â€"â€" all the tricks and maneuvers â€"â€" is mere- ly a matter of experience. Soon you’ll be jumping wakes, single skiing, slaloming. and trick ridâ€" ing‘ BOLTON : A fine of $35 and costs was charged against Doug- las Bell of Woodbridge for hav- ing liquor in an illegal place in Bolton. Constable Wellar laid the charge and Brampton court passed sentence. Water skiing began in Swit- zerland in 1929. and was popq- larized in the 30's along the Riv- iera. The sport was adopted in this country, and has grown in popularity ever since. 220 yds. 2 Large1 der 20) Johnson The second club meet will be held this Friday. July 29, rain or shine.

Don't sell this Oak Ridges team short because of the score because they certainly showed flashes of very good form and when they started to connect in the sixth they drove in their seven runs.

TheSports Clinic BILL HAMILTON Sweet William is Guelph’s main contribution to stock car racing and Pinecrest’s most eli- gible â€"- and best looking -â€" ba- chelor. At 24,-Hamilton is one of those chaps who never gives up. It took him 25 tries to win his initial feature (1953) at the No. 7 highway track just two miles west of Dufferin St. How- ever, last year he had four main event triumphs. including a pair over the Labor Day week-end. He hasn‘t had any in the first five meets this term but is coming closer all the time. Even at that, he is right up in the Carling point race. Bill has been driving five years. In both 1953 and 1954 he wrecked his car just before the championship at the same spot in the fence. He borrowed a buggy, though, and competed. Hamilton drives car No. 37 and tows it back and forth from the Royal City each Saturday. Hamilton and other stock car champs can be seen each week at. Pinecrest. Gori Mangotich added another to his string of victories as he downed Tough Harold Van Dyke of Richmond Hill. Van Dyke seems to get a little better every time out and last night was no exception as he extended the famous Mangotich to the limit. Mangotich said afterwards that However Jack wasn't so .be- wildered he couldn‘t rack’ up the first fall with a clever bit of mat work to pin Osborne with a standing crotch hold. Ossie came backlto get the second fall with a series of drop kicks and never looked better. Jack Flicker, the Oak Ridges mat man, was disqualified mon- day night in the main bout of the regular pro wrestling show at Aurora. Flicker was in there against Wildcat Ron Osborne, who cert: ainly lived up to his name as he flew around the ring like a cir- cus acrobat. He seemed to have Honest Jack bewildered most of the time. In the last fall with Flicker rapidly running out of gas, as he usually does, he resorted to some off colmj stuff and was quickly thumbed to the showers by referee Joe Greenfield. Flicker, Oak Ridges Mat Man Disquaiified In Main Bout If your batting weakness is missing the ball, you will be interested in the results of a SUrvey of what actually happens when {better swings and misses. Investigation showed that the batter swings over the ball 72 per cent of the time in hardball. He swings underneath 22 per cent and the ball goes past the end of hisAbat six per cent. Check carefully to see how you are missing. Then you can adjust your swing accordingly. Most players interviewed in this study hadn’t the faintest idea how theyiwere missing the bell.“ ‘ Incidentally, in softball the average batter swings under the ball. Survey showed that this was respon- sible for his miss 84 _per cent of the time. Softball players should hold their bats higher than usual in the ready-to-hit position so that they swing along the ball’s line of flight instead of through it. For example, an athlete who takes 12 seconds to run 100 yards can probably improve his time by six or seven tenths of a second by working on various types of speed work. No matter what he does, however, it will be impossible for him to run the distance in class sprinting time. This does not, of course, refer to pub- lic school age sprinters Who have not yet matured physically. HEREDITY VS. DIET HABITS Medical authorities claim that heredity plays a very small part in overweight. ‘ If you’re an athlete and you’re carrying too much fat, it’s probably because you don’t exercise enough will power at the dinner table â€"â€" not because you were born that Way. What you do develop through the inâ€" fluence of your family is the appetite for foods high in calories, or the habit of eating more ,than is needed. Everyone, regardless of how slow they are, can improve their ability to move quickly. But unless the athlete {has the type of muscle and body structure de- signed for speed it is impossible to turn a slow runner into a top sprinter. It is wise to remember that improvement in speed can be a great help to the athlete. An improvement of one-tenth of a second over 10 yards would mean two or three feet in distance â€" often enoughto make 01‘ break a play in baseball, tennis, football, etc. ARE YOU A STRIKEOUT ARTIST?
