It never entered his little pointed head to toss them back again or even offer them to someone who would eat them. Nope, they were fun to catch and to show to his non-fish-eating companions, but as fat as he was concerned they were of no further use. With an attitude like'this one, a lake could be stripped in a very short time. The catch limit laws have been set so as to ensure that an area will not be completely depopulated of a certain species of fish. The limit law also ensures us of a reasonable chance of getting a fair catch of our par- ticular favourite fish. These laws are unfortunately brok- en regularly, not just because of ignorance but because of the natural greed and avidity that is present in the best of us. One summer not too long ago, we witnessed a break- ing of fishing laws that was downright wanton. A stringer (home made) of 15 fair sized bass had been thrown into a clump of bushes adjacent to a boat land- ing and left as unwanted in the hot sun. They were no longer fit to eat as they were announcing their presence right odourfully. By asking around we didn’t have too much trouble locating the joker who had had all the luck with the bass. When asked why the fish were thrown away in such a stupid manner, the answer was, “Nobody in our cottage likes fish, but I sure love to catch them." Next time you go fishing, Dad, just make sure you know all the laws that apply in the area you’re working over. Make darn sure the kids do as well. If we can sell conservation to the younger setnwe’ve got this thing beaten now and ever after. Besides, Dad, you know what happens to all that lovely tackle, that boat you’ve al- ways wanted and that big electric start motor when the game warden yells “Foul”, don_’t you? The time of the year being what it is, a few re- marks on fishing may be appropriate. We never got much beyond the stage of still-fishing with “a very simple rod and reel and a couple of dew worms -- but even this is a grand way to spend a lazy summer day. Most of you probably know more about fishing than we’ll ever know, so this is not intended to be a learned text on the gentle art of coaxing fish to bite. What it really is, is a plea for the poor battered Game and Fisheries Laws. Our conservation experts have made careful studies of breeding habits and life expectancy of all types of fish. By involved computations that are beyond us they have set up a table of size limits and catch limits for different species of fish. The catch limits may vary from area to area and it behooves the Compleat Angler to know just what is and is not permitted in the waters that he is fishing. The foregoing was a very extreme case, no doubt. However for every undersized fish taken and for every fish kept above the limit there are just that many fewer fish. Multiply the one or two over the limit by one hun- dred thousand~odd anglers and the figures become stag- gering. Our fish are nothing more nor less than a cash crop. Hundreds of thousands of our neighbours to the south pour over the border yearly to pursue the elusive little devils, merely because the fishing is better than the fish- ing at home. During’ the course of a summer season, millions of dollars are spent by these people, dollars which help to keep our standard of living what it is to- day. Enough of economics. Fishing is still great sport and can give everyone even more pleasure when rules are obeyed. We hope that you really ardent anglers end up with full creels of the right size and number of fish every time you go out. The rest of us will have our fun with the line and the dew worm â€" within the law. The Ontario Department of Lands and Forests (Games and Fisheries) would just love to hear from all of you. Your tax money goes to sup- port this government agency, so let’s put them to work supplying us with exact information. In last week’s paper, the Dynes jewellers’ player ‘roster appeared. Somehow Sil Steffan was referred to as a HEAVY catcher. Despite rumours that he really is putting on weight (rumour source Dynes players) what was honestly intended was to say that he was a HEADY catcher. Sorry if Vivian has been serving smaller por- tions at the Steffan household, Sil. Brian Gillespie was another Dynesman who was dealt with less than fairly. This correspondent still thinks that ‘Gillie’ is one of the best first basemen in this or any' other town and that his work ‘with the big glove is terrific. â€"â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" Heard from some of the girls who play under the Town Inn banner. Most of them felt the remarks about desire to win, or rather lack of desire were unkind. I don’t intend to apologize for the statement because on the play in that particular game, the criticism was a just one. However, if some of the girls get mad enough to play just a little bit better, then the criticism served its purpose nicely. If people observing the game realize how ineffectual a performance is, surely the players must know it as well. The criticism was not meant unkindly, but just to hold a mirror before the team so that they can possibly redeem themselves from this point on. Good luck girls and please don’t shoot, the family think they need me for a while longer. It has been very noticeable the last two weeks that attendance at the town park on Thursday nights, when Dynes~playr their home game, has been steadily im- proving. This is a most gratifying and desirable state of affairs as nothing will prompt any athlete to rise to greater heights than a wee bit of local support. It is a great feeling to know that a great many other people care enough to come out and cheer on your efforts. The attendance on Tuesday nights for the Wim- bridge Cleaners games in the Richmond Hill and District Intermediate League has improved but there are lots of good seats left for you. Come on along on Tuesday and have a look at what other towns have to offer. The entertainment is good. + SPORT SPOTS + â€" SPORT SPOTS by Ron Craine Phone TU. 4-4057 SPORT SPOTS â€" INTERNATION Team Cohunbus Miami Toronto Bufiam nflontreal Rochester I."

It was a real thriller right to the end and provided just about every thrill that a well- played softball game can offer. What made it even better from a Richmond Hill point of view was the final score â€"- Dynes Jewellers 4, Lansing Sunoco 3. George Ward was given the‘ starting pitcher nod by Stan Ranâ€" som. Ward pitched eight full inâ€" nings and gave up six hits and three walks. George was being hit solidly but some fine defensive work kept the jewellers out of trouble. Bill Bowen went in to bat for Ward in the bottom of the eighth inning. Dynes~ Jewellers Nip Lansing Sunoco In Ninth Inning, 4-3 Jack Curry pitched the whole route for the Lansing Sunoco boys and gave up six hits and three walks. The Sunoco team played solidly behind Jack and in the bottom of the first inning came up with a nice double play. The first man up, Brian Gillespie, was walked â€" Sil Steffan drove a hard one to third that Sunoco thirdsacker Al Fairthorne fielded perfectly, firing to Ray Harris at second to force Gillespie. Ray Harris relayed to first baseman John Mann to nip Sil Stet-fan. The first run of the game was scored by Dynes in the bottom of the second inning. Dynes’ second baseman Tony Centa was walked. Left Fielder Phil Butler was hit by a wild pitch, Tommy Easton, playing right field, was walked, and the bases were loaded with one out. Lorne McLean, the first batter had flied out to right field. George Ward hit into a fielder’s choice and first baseman John Mann elected to force Tony Centa at the plate. Jim Crilly, Sunoco catcher, missed touching the plate and the runner scored on a cat- cher's error. There was no further scoring until the fourth inning when Bob Blair, on third base, was scored on a long fly ball to centre 03 the hat of Sflnoco right fielder Chico Fernandez. Phil Butler, in left field for Dynes proved him- self to be a fine defensive fielder with a strong, accurate arm. In the fifth inning, Lansing scored another run to lead Dynes by a 2-1 count. With two men out in the bot- tom of the sixth inning, Dynes’ dependable third baseman got his sights on one and hoisted it over the fence in centre field to tie up the ball game at 'two runs each.

In the first league game of the season, the Kinsmen- sponsored Peewees downed Aurora by a 12-0 score last Wednesday night at the Aurora Park. Coach Austin Ev- er'att is justly proud of his young charges and feels that they have the ability to go all the way. The league is made up of entries from Newmarket, Bradford, Aurora and Richmond Hill. Richmond Hill Peewees DoWn Aurora In First league Game Billy Richardson on third base for Richmond Hill was a tower of ‘strength defensively as was sec- ond baseman Steve Gauld. Gauld also had‘a big night with the bat and belted out at least one extra base hit. sharp ball at third base blasted a home run over the fence in left field to agaii. move Lansing Sun- oco ahead three runs to 2. In the Bottom of the eighth inning, with two men out Sil Steffan duplica- ted Fairthorne’s effort by bashing one over the left field fence. The score at the end of eight com- plete innings was Dynes Jewel- lers 3, Lansing Sunoco 3. Bill Bowen came on to pitch for Dynes in the ninth inning. Three batters came in to face him and Bill struck them out in order is they waved futilely at air. Without doubt it was a masterful performarlce by _a ‘lpasje-I“ hugler. In the Dynes half of the ninth inning, the game was won and. lost. Moe (Home Run) Williamson singled to left to start the inning. The nextlman up. Lorne McLean, popped to Curry on the mound; This brought up Tony Centa who singled to centre, moving Moe Williamson into third base. Eric Hillaby who replaced Butler in left field, hit into a fielder’s choice to second baseman Ray Harris. Harris faked a throw to the plate to hold Williamson at third â€"â€" Tony Centa was already on second, too late for the force, and Harris elected to play to first to catch Hillaby. Ray cock- ed his arm and fired â€"â€" six feet over the first sacker‘s outstretch- ed glove. Williamson came in to score from third to end the game -â€" Dynes 4, Lansing Sunoco 3.

August 6 Coach Everatt had a hard time deciding just who his starting pitcher would be. In the exhibi- tion games, Jamie Macanuel prov- ed himself to be a good man, so Austin gave the starting assign- ment to young Paul Ramer. In the third inning, Dave Pratt went in to relive Paul and gain some competition experience. It is everyone’s wish that the new diamond in the town park will be ready for use and that Richmond Hill fans will be able to see these youngsters in action. Town Inn Girls L0'e Close One Monday, June' 22 the East York Kiwanis defeated the Town Inn girls 15-14. This game was played over a five inning route and des- pite the score the local girls put up a real battle. This was a dif- ferent team from the group beat- en by Whitby last week. Carol Seager was the starting pitcher for the Town Inn, until relieved in the fourth inning by Dorothy King. Dorothy came into the game with the score 13-10 in favour of the Town Inn and was unlucky enough to be the losing pitcher. ‘ “Lil Karstovsky was the East York Kiwanis choice as the start- ing hurler and was relieved in the bottom of the fifth by Jenny Win- gerson. As East York had a 15-10 lead going into the last of the fifth, Lil gets credit for the win: Marg. Bain, playing left field for the local ladies had a good night in the field making two nice running catches. Marg slammed out a double in the first inning to help the Town Inn cause. Mary Sandersonvat third played fine defensive ball and smashed out a long triple in the fourth inning. Esther Bell Helen Vine and cat- cher Peg. Hopkins all played good ball for the Town Inn. For the East York girls. Mari- lyn Robertson, Terry Hanna and Jill Christie played good baseball. Come on out next Monday night and get in on the draw. Mrs. Den- nis Needham of Wilcox Lake was the winner of a fine wallet. The lucky number draw was made by Plate Umpire Bill May, who al- ong with Dave Joslin on the bases called a good game.

R. PERKINS From now on will be known as “Slugger” as he con- nected with the Mayor’s opening pitch to flatten the ball with a terrific drive. Judging by\the facial expression, the Reeve was in dead earnest in opening the local minor ball season. Early in the spring at a general meeting called for anyone interested in hockey, a new hockey association was formed. The minor hockey league and the Little N.H.L. league had decided to combine their efforts and in doing so, bring all hocky in Richmond Hill under one governing body. Local Hockey Assoc. Busy Planning Next Season At this meeting the following officers were elected for the coming year: President, Mr. Harold Mills; Vice- President, Mr. Elgin Barrow; Secretary, Mr. John Gropp; Treasurer, Mr. Bob Pimm; Registrar, Mr. Fred Waters; plus the following directors who are to act as governors for the following groups: Mr. Eric Charity, A.H.L.; Mr. Barry Brent, Minor; Mr. Bob Jackson, N.H.L.; and Mr. Lorne Presser, Jr. “A”. The executive will also appoint a director each year to be referee in chief, and also a past president, Mr. James Grainger was chosen for the first position and Mr. Dick Piller who was last year’s president of the minor league will be the past president. Mr. Brydon Ellis was appointed the Assistant Statistician. Since then the executive has been meeting once a week in drawing up a new constitution and by-laws. They are arranging for ice‘ time next season. They are pleased to say that the new by-laws should be ready for all to read at the next general meet- ing in September and that they have secured double the amount of ice time for next season. that they had before. The new association expects to register over 600 boys for hockey this coming season and they will be registered sometime in the middle of September. All boys must register before being allow- ed on the ice. Date of registra- tion will be in “The Liberal” be- forehand. All boys under the age of 10 as of August 1 will register with the Jr. A teams. Boys under 12 as of August 1 will register with the A.H.L., and under 14 by the same date with the NHL. Minor hockey will register all boys under 17 as of August 1. The association is also glad to announce that they expect to have a hockey school which will have its own ice time and will consist of all beginners in learning the fundamentals of the game. _Following a supper of barbe- cued hamburgers (barbecued is a fancy word for burnt) etc., the arty broke up to return to Rich- mond Hill with everyone agreeing that this was the best drill ever. The parents present enjoyed themselves thoroughly and seized the opportunity to become better acquainted. ' There will also be a juvenile Rams team, midget Blue Liners, bantams, and All-Star peewee teams. These teams will be enter- ed in leagues outside of the town and will be afiiliated with the Minor Hockey Association and Last Sunday some 30 girls of the Richmond Hill Majorette Corps were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Sider, parents of Ken Sider, Corps Director. The girls were driven to Clearview Beach, near Hawkestone, by parents of corps members. 1411111,, un. a”... -vv-.-_ it. After lunch, Ken Sider put his charges through a strenuous drill lasting for an hour and a half. What with the record player blar- ing out marching music. and the girls drilling, Clearview Beach residents are convinced that Rich- mond Hill has a majorette corps. Some of the boys in the neighbor- hood seemed very interested. After the drill the girls got in- terested in boating. The Sider family boat was as busy as it has ever been and one of the neigh- boring cottagers kindly lent the girls his boat. No one drowned or got too wet so the whole thing was a huge success.

So with 32 hockey teams; It looks like a big year for hockey in Richmond Hill and‘the assoc- iation will need the help of not only all the parents of these boys but also the help of many of the local residents and merchants in town. The cost of ice time, pro- gramming, equipment, and in- surance is a big problem, but the association has planned ahead. With the help of all the people in Richmond Hill, they can see their way through their obligations. They can assure all those interest- ed of seeing good hockey from next October on. Murray Thompson, Wimbridge Cleaners slight, bespectacled right-hander, fashioned a five hit ball game over the nine (inning distance on Tuesday night, June 23. This is the first time this sea- son that Thompson has lasted through the whole game. Murray was seldom in trouble as the five hits were well scattered and he struek out eight and walked two men. Wimbridge Downs Lakers 9 To 3 Jon Bunn, throwing from the port side for Wilcox Lake had his troubles at times. Jon gave up 12 hits, two of them home runs, struck out three and walked two. Sonny Needham, in centre field for the Lake, played heads up baseball and pulled off two sen- sational catches to rob the Clean- er team of sure bits. ' In the bottom of the first in. ning Wimbridge third baseman, John Dunn, drove a long, long home run over the head of Needâ€" bam in centre to bring in three runs. Jim Gregory, catching for Wimbridge belted one over the left field fence in the sixth to drive in two runs. Lennie McLean, Cleaner short- stop, made two very fine defen- sive lays on hard hit ground balls nd at times was roaming into centre field to make catches on fly balls. Don MacMillan, at third base for the Lake team play- ed good steady ball.
