"munmnm % MOVES 10 BUSHELS PER MINUTE; PAYS FOR ITSELF IN 4 HOURS A really great jumper such as Charlie Dumas, who recently cleared seven feet, has mastered this swift, high kick with the’ lead leg. He kicks that leg straight up, high and hard, so that it helps carry him over the bar. Photographs of Dumas show that one leg is still on the ground while the other is actually up and above the bar. It’s the momentum from this hard kick of the leg that helps carry him over the bar. The most important thing to the high jumper is', of course, height. Yet many jumpers don’t get as much as they ‘could because they jump into the bar in- stead of over it. There are two causes for this: the jumper may take off too far away from the bar, or he 'may not kick the lead leg up high enough. The tirfiing is difficult to master, and you’ll have to practice it regularly, but once you’ve got it you’ll find it will add inches to your jump. DON’T WASTE THE FIRST SERVE Double faulting in tennis is not only an expensive mistake as far as points go, but also a very common one. The average player really cuts loose with his first serve, hoping to come up with a surprise ace. More often than not the ball goes wild and that first serve has been wast- ed. The server then gets nervous and his second serve is a. soft set-up for a sharp return. LIGHTS â€" Once again getting back to lights, Thornhill Senior Softball Team is in the same predicament as Richmond Hill from a players’ and spectators’ point of View. not being able to attend ’early games, on account of time el- ement, teams travelling from Nobleton, Humber Summit and other places don’t get much of a break if arriving late and playing short-handed, they often play ball with‘ out getting a chance to have supper. You can improve your tennis game and cut down on double faults by concentrating on getting that first serve into your opponent’s service court. Hit it hard, yes â€" but concentrate on making it good. Don’t throw it away because you know you’ve got another chance. Good players make every shot count. I have witnessed two games recently where man- agers have put players into the game from the bench without first notifying the umpire. Under Senior Soft- ball regulations that player is automatically out the minute he steps into the batter’s box. It is up to man- agers of each team to see that this does not happen. While playing for Thornhill Senior Softball Team in 1955 Bill pitched a no-hitter against Agincourt. Bill is a likeable fellow and plays a terrific game on the Thornhill team in almost any position. The Sports Clinic BILL BOWEN STORY â€" ' Bill Bowen, Senior Softball pitching ace for Thorn- hill Senior Softball Team, rang up the fourth no-hitter of his career against Buttonville, blanking them four to nothing in play-off game in Thornhill last week. Bill, a resident of Langstaff, played all his school day ball games in Langstafi' district, then stepped up to senior ball at age of 16 in Wanless Park League, playing for Roselawn Dairy .under Charlie Rind in 1942, also played for Eddie Black’s in the Ysaine league. .A 1nrn 11:11 1.--- While playing for Massey-Harris in 1950, Bill toss- ed a no-hitter against Carruthers Machinery.

Morison Masseyaflmis & Fergusog Yonge St. 8., Richmond Hill TUrner 4-1722 WITH ELECTRIC MOTOR Monday night at Vellore, the Vellore girls defeated King City girls 8-3. Cla're Herrima pitched for King City. On Wednesday night King City girls defeated Oak Ridges 11-10. Clare Her- rima was again the pitcher. Richmond Hill Intermediates, playing against Nobleton Mon- day night took every advantage to win the game with the score being tied going into the sixth inning. Dr. Cameron Cowan went in to relieve Howie Bennett and had Nobletan handcuffed with his fine pitching effort, and help-‘ ed win his own ball game, when Beringer got on base. Clement brought Beringer in. Dr. Cowan drove a clean hit to bring in Clement. Gillespie hunted and brought in Cowan. Nobleton fell apart at the seams in the last couple of innings after Mc- Kee got on first, Syl Steftan who played an outstanding game at shortstop, started the ball roll- ing by hitting a home run to put Richmond Hill on top, bringing McKee home to put the Hill two runs ahead. The game ended 11-6. Doc Cow proved a terrific relief pitcher as well as a pinch hitter. Cowan and Stefl'an were the two stars for Richmond Hill. In the second stanza Red Gar- ner worked over the two Sud- bury boys and Osborne jumped in and caught Don with a beau- tiful drop kick and took a fall at 8.05. Osborne caught on fire dur- ing the third fall and ran into Wilf Jennings with a full head of steam and spread him after five minutes and received a standing ovation from the large crowd at- tending. The Sudbury Hard Rocks, Wilf and Don Jennings finally got their just desserts last Tuesday at Thornhill Market when they were downed by Wildcat Os- borne and the Veteran Red Gar- ner. Wilf Jennings started off like a tiger and between him and brother Don, they kept Osborne in the ring for 10 'minutes with- out letting him take a tag out. At the ten minute mark Osborne conceded the fall after a severe mauh'ng. Baron Von Sieber making his first appearance here in some time looked very good against the lighter Ed. Mangotich. How- ever after breaking some tough holds and roughing Mangotich considerably, he appeared head- ed for a win but the tricky Ryd- ing wrestler caught him coming ofi the ropes and spread him at 15.10. Tom Sullivan, the long, rough Irish grappler who hails from Brampton had a hard row to hoe with Stoney Brooks and could do no better than a draw. Schomberg again defeated King 7-4 at King City Memorial Park. John Richards was on the mound for King City. Gord Drr took ov- er in the ninth. Don Marchand hit a triple for Schomberg and Ken Ellison pitched for the vis- itors. Girls Games Schomberg men's team defeat- ed King City 7-2 at Schomberg Thursday night, July 26 at Schomberg. Bob Arbuckle was on the mound for King City un- til the seventh inning when Gord Orr took over to do the hurling for the remaining innings. Chief Little Beaver was dis- qualified by the referee against newcomer Vince Ghetti, who showed a lot of stuff and will be welcome back at any time.

P. Robbins. The Richmond Hill Team is playing in the North York Minor League and requires extra players at once. A Hockey Association in the process of being formed, is interested in any boys that want to play hockey in the coming season. It is for boys in the village and surrounding district. The idea being to encourage Hockey for more children in the area from ages 8 to 16 (Pee Wee and Midget). Those interested kindly fill in the above form and return to Box 91 The Liberal. Your urgent reply will be greatly ap- preciated. Name . Address HOCKEY ASSOCIATION Cross eyes usually appear be« tween the ages of two and four.

The Snellen Chart, approved by better Health Departments and the best eye authorities, is used in York County schools to test children’s eyes. It provides a practical screening aid to de- tect possible vision defects.

The specialist may suggest one of the following corrective meas- ures: Langstafi' Intermediates, while experimenting with a team in the few remaining games to get best possible results against op- posing teams in the play-offs, were beaten 20â€"9 by Aurora on Thursday. The team as a whole came through in fine style with the game being tied 7-7 in the first five innings, Young‘ Don Scott pitched a winning ball game till the team blew the game in the two remaining in- nigs.

School surveys show that less than oneâ€" half of the children who need glasses actually have them. On Wednesday‘ July 25, a team composed of four girls and 15 boys journeyed to Guelph to re- present the Richmond Hill Dis- trict Track and Field Club in the Five Counties Olympiad Meet. The team is a fine example of the fine athletes who attend the club. They set some very outstanding marks. Girls Win at the chance to match holds with Brooks and Mangotich. and this writer is betting there will be a lot of jumping next Tues- day, August 7, but it won’t all Baron Von Sieber and Tall Tom Sullivan have teamed up for next Tuesday's show at the Thornhill Market and will clash with Ed Mangotich and Stoney Brooks. It will be a new twist for StoneY Brooks to be teamed up with a clever wrestler like MangotiCh. but he has proven his ability as a great mat man in his last two bouts here and we all know he can rough it up, so look out Von Sieber and Sullivan. Both Sulli- van and the towering German are used to steam rolling right over their opposition but they’ll have a hard time trying to crush the rugged Scot, Stoney Brooks and the fabulous Ed Mangotich.

Dick Harper pitched good ball, while Bob McArthur got a home run with one man on base, also a single. Sonny Charles, playing shortstop, hit a home run with two men on, this being his fourth consecutive game to homer. John Almstead won the senior discus while Dennis Cook came second in the 440 yard dash of the same age group. Jim Neal, Passmore, Madill and Dave Pattenden combined to come second in the half-mile relay. The track club and its mem- bers are very grateful to the par- ents who so kindly provided the transportation to and. from Guelph. Practices will continue on the sixth of August to prepare for the Eastern Canadian Champ- ionships being held at East York. Ideally every child's eyes should be examined by an eye specialist when he beglns to walk and when he commences school.

About one in four cross-eyed children require an operation. This should not be alarming to parent or child since there is practically no discomfort and hosPitalization is only 27 to 3 days. Turner, Duane Patfield, Gary Kozak. and Ron Dalley finished third. Richmond Hiil’s team of Smith, Madill, Passmore and Danny Roiutrledger won the 440 yard relay. The new sensation, speedy Vince Ghetti. has been signed to‘ meet Orro Morro, clever Hawiian grappler in the semi-final match. Both boys are fast and clever with Ghetti having the edge in the weight department. but Mor- ro may offset this with his speed and change of pace. Ghetti has lots of experience and certainly showed to advantage when he wrestled against Chief Little Bea- ver. If he can overcome the dusky Morro he will be in line for some future main bouts. but 2e will have to get by Morro rst. In the other bouts, Eddie Ed- wards, popular Windsor boy, will lock horns with rugged Billy Foster of Brampton and one oth- er bout will be added to com- plete the card. be done by the Baron and the Irishman.

GHEITI ORRO MORRO Special Match German Oak and 111 Pts On Tuesday, July 31, Lang- staff played Hope at Maple. Hope won 9 to 3. The game was called because of rain in the bottom of the fifth inning by the Langstaff umpire. Oh Tuesday}, August 7, Hope and Langstaff will play it over again at King Park in the first game. Conservation Officers report that many of the fi hermen check- ed in District wa ers are using rental boats in an unseaworthy condition or too small to accom- modate the modern highâ€"power- ed outboard motors. Fishermen should take note of the size and condition of their boat before undertaking any fishing trip. The losing pitcher, Norm Rob- erts and the catcher Peter Jones. Floyd Walker pitched three in- nings and was relieved by Norm Roberts in the top of the fourth. Downsview de‘feated i‘lii'cféf‘i; Square 13 to 11 at Victoria Square and wins the league cha‘mpion- ship. The problem of broken glass on many of the beaches of the Lake Simcoe District continues to hamper the enjoyment of many vacationers. Fishermen are reminded not to throw empty bottles or broken glass into the water where they may eventual- ly wash to shore. The practice of some boaters in sinking emp- ty bottles or cans in deep water is not recommended as even these may be carried to the beaches by strong waves and currents where they can cause painful in- jury to bathers. The relaxtion of restrictions on the angling of smallmouth and largemouth bass has been well received by those fishermen in- terviewed in the Lake Simcoe District. In several of the small- er lakes over-populated with fish, lifting of the length limit has allowed anglers to take home catches of bass which in prev- ious years had to be returned to the water as “undersized'. It is hoped that a heavier harvest of stunted bass from these over- populated waters will result in a better quality of fish in future years. A study has been initiated at Midland Park Lake to deter- mine the efiect of liberalized an- gling and a greater harvest of fish from that lake. Guides and fishermen in the Severn River and Georgian Bay areas gener- ally acclaim the liberalized ang- ling of bass and report that fish- ing parties are now eating the smaller bass rather than return- ing them to the water even if injured or dying as in previous years. On Thursday, July 26, Lang- staff defeated Pine Grove 19 to 4 at Langstafi. Langstatf hit a powerful game and put up a good defence. ' Downsview led with 27 points as the second place Hope has 22 points _v_vith _only £on games left. The second game will be Vell- ore and Victoria Square. There will be a short meeting after. At Maple Hope 7 to 5 In the first inning, Hope led 3 to 2 and finally Hope added one more in the fourth to make it 4 to 2. In the fifth inning, Vellore scored three runs by Ken Garritt, John Snider and Jim as Hope scored one run by Norm Roberts to tie the score 5 to 5. Vellore went on to win in the sixth. when Bob Kerr and Jim scored the final rpns of the game. The winning pitcher was Russ and catcher Jack Burns.
