Murray Thompson walked the first two batters and will Costoff came on to relieve I.Thompson. Costoff struck out the “first two men to face him and ~then walked Dent Brumwell to lload the bases. Johnny Nigh then Jpoked a double into right field to score three runners, and How- ’ie Bennett came in to relieve :Costofi‘. The side was retired ,{with no further trouble and the pcore was Wimbridge 5-Vivtoria fiBlonde Bomber vs. Redhead Garner Murray is a recent Richmond ,Hill resident and has played a lot of ball in Dieppe Park. He 'has a sweeping curve that seems ‘to bend at least a foot and a siz- zling upshoot that really hops. As the season progresses this ‘boy should really be something to watch. V, This game was played over the nine inning distance and for the first seven innings promised to be a tight ball game. The surprise feature was the stellar performance .of Murray Thompson making his first start on the mound ‘for the Cleaners. Murray allowed just one hit and struck [out eight batters when his control faded in the seventh [inning and Bill Costofl“ came in as relief pitcher. 10 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, June 4, 1959 Wimbridge Defeats Victoria Square 17-3 WMMS RACE t As its project for the year, the University Women’s Club of York County at its May meeting voted in favour of giving the sum of $100 to the King Library. A number of worthwhile projects had been investigated and presen- ted to the membership by a com- mitte composed of Mrs. Fraser Gee, Mrs. J. D. MacGregor, Mrs. John Heard and Mrs. Dickson Miller. .Members also voted Monday night to support the changes in the Federal Estate Tax Act rec- ommended by the Vancouver Club which would give recogni- tion to the contribution made by a wife to the marriage partner- ship. She pointed out that women to- day have a greater opportunity than ever before for a full and interesting life, if only they use their changed status properly. In the early 1900's women were in the home, either their father’s, or their husbands. Since then there has been a tremendous widening of women’s activities. Most work outside the home at one time or another at a great variety of jobs, and are carrying on their duties as citizens. The pattern follow- ed by women today as opposed t0500r60yearsagoistogoto school, train for something. get a job, continue in this job after marriage until the arrival of the first child, stay in the home while Winning pitcher: Murray Thom- pson (Costofi-Bennett). Two new members were intro- duced to the club by Mrs. G. Fish, Aurora, membership secretary. bringinr' the total of new mem- bers this year to 22. They were Mrs. Sidney van den Bergh and Mrs. John W. Whalen, both of Richmond Hill. See you in the Richmond Hill Park next Tuesday when Oak Ridges visits Wimbridge Cleaners. Game time 8.15 p.m. Summary : ' Losing pitcher: Johnny Nigh (Walker). IScore: Wimbridge cleaners 17, Victoria Square 3. For Victoria Square 3 runs on 4 hits, committed 3 errors. “Changing Status Of Women" ls University Club's Topic Mrs. Dickson Miller, Richmond Hill, introduced the guest speak- er. She was Mrs. M. Chadsey, chairman of the public affairs committee of the Y.W.C.A. of Canada, who spoke on “The Chan- -ging Status of Women.” Mrs. Chadsey, who is a graduate in Economics of the University of London, led the Canadian Delega- tion to the International Seminar on the Status of Women in Ne Yogk last year. - u. Plate umpire Bill Clephane and base umpire Ted Hopkins hand- led the game well. It is a treat to see officiating of this calibre in the league. For the benefit of Baseball fans in the area, we would like to announce that all Victoria Square home games will be played in Unlonvllle. For Winibrldge 17 runs on 1 hits, committed 0 errors. Mrs. Lorne C. Lee of Aurora gave an interesting report on the Windsor Regional Conference which she attended as the club's regreserltative on May 1 and 2. Johnny Nigh who pitched until relieved in the seventh and then went out to play left field shone for the Square. This boy just will not quit and made two nice plays in the outfield. Coach Jimmy Barker is lucky to have John, a ball player‘s ball player. Art Bedford at third base for Victoria Square played a solid defensive game and twice made stops that seemed impossible. This boy was badly injured last year while playing ball and it is heartening to see that he can still make the big play. Matt Kinnari at first base for the Cleaners had a big night with the willow. Matt had four hits in six plate appearances, one of them a triple to score Jack Down who had walked, for the first run of the game. Jack Dunn also' was wielding a big stick. He had two hits in four official at bats, one a homer in deep centre in the fifth and a triple in the seventh. Ron Ledrew had a smashing double in the seventh to drive in three runs. Once again Lennie McLean played a steady, heady game at short, and Tony Hunter in centre field made good putouts seem routine. Del Madely, behind the plate for the Cleaners proved ag- ain to be a first rate catcher with a buggy-whip arm. Howie Bennett allowed one hit in the top of the eighth inning and had no further trouble. Fred- dy Walker allowed three hits and three more Wimbridge runs came in. Score in the top of the ninth was Wimbridge 17-Victoria Square 3. Howie Bennett struck out the side in order. Square 3. Then came the fatal nine run burst by Wimbridge and at the end of seven full in- nings the score was Wimbridge l4-Victoria Square 3. the children are young, and go back to work when the children are in their teens. Mrs. Chadsey warned of the need to strike a balance between the home and outside activities. She pointed out that it is her own firm conviction that a woman's family should come first. The home, and eventually the com- munity and country, will suffer if too much emphasis is placed on women’s work outside the home. There is no substitute for a child’s own mother. Mrs. Chad- sey warned that a woman is apt to over-extend her physical en~ ergies to the point where her out- side job is not properly done and her home is not properly run. The club's next meeting will be a social one in September at the home of Mrs. John Heard. Richmond Hill. Mrs. Bruce Dav- is of King, a club member, will be the guest speaker. However. there is the other danger of the family coming first and nothing second. Simply be- cause a woman is married with a family is no reason why she should become a "vegetable." Since many women do go back to work when their children are older, they are in a much better position to do so if they have kept in touch with things going on outside the home. They should be well informed on national and world affairs and keep their mind and interest flexible. Many have been out of touch so long that they are not trainable except for something related to domestic life. Mrs. Chadsey called on her au- dience to keep others aware of the great opportunities there are for women today, and of the im- portant role they now play in the life of our country. The speaker \i'as thanked by M13. W. BJKinnear, Aurora. Women must keep in mind, too, t‘ : quite serious danger of adopt- ing the wrong values as a result of their changed status. We must not become too materialistic and over-extend ourselves in try- ng to “keep_up with the Joneses." May Dial Direct To Prairies Now Beginning June '7, telephone subscribers in Richmond Hill and vicinity will be able to dial their own long distance calls to three cities in Western Canada â€"â€" Win- nipeg, Regina and Calgary. Since the inauguration of direct dis- tance dialing a year ago, this ser- vice has been‘ extended to Mont- real, New York City, Miami, Fla. and many other distant points. In a few years, the service is ex- pected to be continent-wide. The purpose of this pre-season get-together was to determine how many of last season’s players would return, and welcome new players from the Hill area. There is still room for interested players, but everyone is pleased with the many new faces that reported in May. The final pre- season tmining session will be held next Wednesday at the Wal- ter Scott Schoolgrounds, Mark‘ harm Road. Bot-h intermediate, and midget players will be wel- corned. You Bring'em We Wreck 'Em Popular public demand for Wreck-Em races will bring extra chills and spills this Saturday at Pinecrest Speedway on No. 7 Highway when about a dozen cars will take to the track to be wrecked, and we do mean wreck- ed, the cars run into each other and do as much damage as poss- ible, the idea of the whole race is to put out every car you can, the winner being the one car that is still running when all others are disabled. The Wreck-Em race will be in addition to the regular stock car races, the popular ladies race and the jalopies, a total of 12 events for the evening and no advance in prices. First rate goes at 8:30 p.m., rain or shine, so come early for a night of thrills. Jets Bombers Tiger Cubs Leafs Flyers Midgets The field of cars increases every night -- last week saw over 70 turn up to race, and the more cars, the more thrills as they race for big prize money as well as $3,300. in point money.
