Ken Roberts started the pitch- !ng job for Vellore, but after four Richvale runs had scored in the second inning, was relieved by brother Norm Roberts. Normie was tagged for only one run â€" a homer off the hat of Stan Thorn- ington. Richvale’s good second baseman. Bill Robson, the Rich- vale reliable, belted out a doub- le in the second inning to drive in two very timely runs. The league-leading Vellore Team were set down sharply on Thursday night at Vellore as the hungry Richvale Team came up with their best performance to date. Pitcher Glen Turnbull gave the Vellore batter- lotl of troub- le as the old miser yielded only four hits, two of which were hunts. Richvale catcher Jack Christie played an outstanding game be- hind the plate. On two occasions Jack fielded hunts by Vellore speed-boy Harold Van Dyke to nip Harold at first base. As the schedule enters its second phase. the league seems to be evening out and Richvale is out to make things tough for any opponent. Catcher Gary Everatt played a good game behind the plate and was also potent with the bat. In this game a catcher can make or break his pitcher and Gary gave Jamie Macanuel lots of support. With only three games of the schedule behind them the local team has won two and lost one â€"- not I had record in any league. The parents of the boys on the club could help a lot by coming to the games. A little parental in- terest helps a young athlete im- measurably.

As this boy grows into faster company. we expect to hear that he is real- ly going places in the long-base game. Nine members of the local team were on hand in the Stouffville Park for the game on July 2. Coach George Gourlay had no op- portunity to make any substitu- tions whatever but the perform- ance. barring the first inning, was a creditable one. The local ladies failed to tally g run in the top of the first in- ning, but Stouffville was run- hungry in the bottom of the first as they scored 11 runs. Joyce Rob- erts. Marlon Gayman, Ila Red- shaw and company had Richmond Hill outfielders running in circles as the Stoufiville Team shelled Dorothy King. on the mound for Richmond Hill. The Kinsmen's Peewee entry in the Aurora-Bradford-Rlchmond H111 loop were resplendent in their new uniforms for the‘game on Friday, July 3. Coach Austin Everatt says that the boys seem- ed to get a lift from the snappy new outfits and played like pros. With that disastrous first in- ning behind them, the Richmond Hill girls settled away and scored 11 runs while holding the oppos- ition to six over the remainder of the seven inning route. The bright spots for Richmond Hill were home runs by Joan Halowa- chuk and Helen Vine while cat- cher Peggy Hopkins had six hits in six times at bat. Don’t forget that the girls’ home games are in the local park on Monday nights. Come on along to the game, the girls deserve your support. l. Wilcox Defeats Vic. Square 5-4 R.H. Peewees Win From Aurora 8-3 On Thursday. July 2, the Red Hot Lake Wilcox crew invaded Victoria Square's home park and made ofi with a five to four win over_the seven inning route. le. Bunn's pitching is one of the big factors in the Lakers' success to date. Hard working Johnny Nigh was on the hill for the Square and this windmill-style hurler must be the hardest-work- ing pitcher in this or any other league. Johnny seldom if ever gets relief and has thrown just about every inning in every game. He seems to thrive on hard work and batters around the circuit claim that he is a much improved pitcher over last year when he was in the shadow of big Cliff Cox and Jack Rumney. This year he has come into his own.

Detrok Miami Buffalo Toronto Rochester Montreal National League Los Angeles Philadelphia St. Louis Milwaukee Cincinatti Pittsburg San Francisco American League Cleveland Kansas City Boston Chicago Washington Baltimore New York STANDINGS International League Stan Ransom and other members of the Dynes Team are proposing a softball tournament for our fair town. And why not! Our facilities are as good or better than most towns and we’ve got good teams in the surrounding territory. The proposal is for a one-day affair, either Civic Holiday or Labour Day, with two games at a time going in the town park. The finalists would meet at night under the lights, the winner to receive a substan- tial cash prize. Brian Gillespie, Dynes’ good first baseman, stopped in Orillia on the way up to Kirkland Lake. He took the opportunity of making new friends on the Orillia Police Force. Seems as how Gillie was a bit heavy-footed on the throttle in his anxiety to reach the site of the ball tournament and the gendarmes took a dim view. As Gil- liessgs, “It isn’t so much the money it’s those (blessed) pom . Had a nice talk with Mrs. Munroe, mother of Mar- ion Munroe, the local girl speed-merchant. Marion now runs under the East York Track Club banner and this week-end was competing in a meet at St. Lambert, Que. The tournament would be open to any team up to and including Intermediate “A” calibre. This is one way in which local residents could see what other towns have to offer softball-wise. Let’s hope‘ the local Softball Association gives its blessing to the proposed venture. How about it Doc ? It seems as though this whole thing is a family pro- duction, and this is a great and wonderful thing. Mar- ion’s family are justly proud of her achievements to date and no attempt is being made to force the girl in any- way. Mrs. Munroe is the family statistician and carries times and records in her head so that if a question over record breaking times arise Mom has the answer. Nice relatonship, - SPORT SPOTS â€" Dynes Jewellers, North York League leaders, had an open date last Thursday night and took advantage of the chance to enter the Kirkland Lake Dominion Day tournament. The weatherman turned out to be a real heel and provided weather that ducks would be ashamed of. No games -â€" just cold, wet rain. Assistant Coach Joe McLean enjoyed the eight hundred odd mile junket as he remarked, “The scenery was good”. The only question is what scenery? Does he mean the rugged nature stuff or the feminine popula- tion of Kirkland Lake? Don’t forget to ask if you should see him. Coach Briden can be contacted at TU. 4-3813. Any- one who could possibly help out by arranging an exhi- bition game either in the Hill or elsewhere please contact Jimmy at the above number or contact “The Liberal" and the message will be relayed. Come on, you ball fans, let’s see what you can come up with. Monday, Wednes‘ day or Friday nights are the most suitable or Sunday afternoon. Let's all see what we can do to hold the kids together. Marion also has an aunt from around Sarnia way, Dorothy Dalmage by name, who was aTso some shucks as a sprinter in her salad days. Back in the hungry thirties there just wasn’t the opportunity that abounds today and Dorothy never got the breaks that are now coming her niece’s way. ‘ Jimmy Briden, coach of the Kinsmen-sponsored Juvenile Baseball Club needs help. The league that the juvenile entry was to play in this year folded up and so far the kids have only played the odd exhibition game and had plenty of practice. This sort of thing can become very very boring and it is hard to hold the team togeth- er. What the boys need are some good exhibition games with other juvenile clubs around the country, within a. forty or fifty mile radius. Marion Munroe is a girl who does not like people to make predictions about her future career and I couldn’t agree more that this is not a good thing. The only thing that is ever sure in any track meet is that the competi- tion is always fierce and a sprinter’s condition is a deliâ€" cate thing. We only hope that Marion achieves every goal she has set for herself and wish her the best of luck in whatever she undertakes. Last Thursday night the Richmond Hill and District Intermediate League held a meeting at the home of Mr. Connie Nason, Palmer Ave., Richmond Hill. At this meet- ing Ross Degeer of the Lake Wilcox Team was warned against any further attacks on umpires, verbal or other- wise, with suspension being automatic for any further offence. Ross is a good ball-player and we would like to see him around for the rest of the year. How about it, Ross? You can’t beat the man in blue, so let’s just play ball and everyone_will be happy. The league also underwent a little overhauling. Mr- Norm Heintzman, of Oak Ridges, is president of the league, with Jimmy Barker of Victoria Square as Vice- President; Conrad Nason of Richmond Hill is now See- retary-Treasurer and has a somewhat unenviable job as the league financial structure is also undergoing an over- hauL See you next week, same time, same place, with more Sport Spots. mm Sewn/z 4: + SPORT SPOTS + â€" SPORT SPOTS â€"- â€" SPORT SPOTS by Ron Crainc Phone TU. 4-4057 SPORT SPOTS -â€" American League Kansas City 12, Washington 9 Boston 19, Detroit 8 Cleveland 10, Baltimore 5 Chicago 13, New York 8 Mr. Tom Graham, statistician ~f the Minor League, would like to remind coaches to please call him with game results as soon as possible.

By the time all the points were toted up Diane was declared the Midget Champion and had had herself a big day. Diane es- tablished a new Canadian record by winning the 60 meter hurdles in a time of 10 seconds flat. Quebec records were the next it- ems to be toppled as Diane won the running broad jump covering a distance of 16 ft. 6% ins. Mov- ing up into the Juvenile age group, Diane bettered the Quebec Juvenile Shotput mark by a heave of 31 ft. 11 ins. to better the old mark by 2 ft. 9% ins. In the Discus event, Diane came up with a toss of 91 ft. even and to cap the day placed second in the Midget High Jump. This was a remarkable feat, because between jumps Diane was dashing hither and yon, establishing new records in other events. New Juvenile Javelin Record Gary Kozak established a new Quebec mark in the Juvenile J av- elin throw by tossing the big spear a distance of 179 ft. 6 ins. Championship to be held at Duf- ferin Fairways, Dufferin St., at No 7 Highway, September 8th, is greater than ever, this year. 411 entries, including 72 wo- men, have been received so far, from golfers in all part. of the city & adjoining townships. It is expected that more than 500 en- tries wil be received before qual- ifying time closes. To cap the day Marion was entered by her coach in the run- ning broad jump and the “Migh- ty Mite" won this event with a 16 ft 10% inch leap. Five gold medals in one track meet is some performance as any track and field fan can tell you. Another Winner Interest in the biggest little golf tournament in the Toronto area - the fourth Annual Toronto & District Open Miniature by Ron Craine A group of teenagers from Richmond Hill invaded St. Lambert, Quebec, last Saturday and proceeded to calmly and methodically rewrite Quebec & Canadian record books. Five Quebec Provincial records went by the board, and two new Canadian marks were set as the local stars went on a rampage. Spearheading the assault was Marion Munroe who now runs under the banner of the East York Track Club. This speedy Miss started the day off by winning the 80 meter hurdles to establish a new Canadian Juvenile record of 119 seconds. Marion won the 100 yard dash in a time of 11.5 seconds to set a new Quebec record, then won the 220 yard dash in 26.3 seconds for another new mark in the Quebec record book. She won first place in the 60 yard dash in a time of 7.3 seconds. All this, mind you, on what was reportedly a slow track! Dufferin Fairways To Be Scene Of Golf Finals The game was featured by some very sharp defensive plays on the part of the Stouffville Team. In the fifth inning, Dot King sliced one over second base that looked as if it was going in for a single. Lenore Sykes, the Stoufl'ville shortstop. moved fast to her left and made a one hand grab of the rising shot to end the inning. Stoufiville Team Downs R.

Meet Marion Munroe 8. Diane Hayes Are Sensational Jim Hallahan, the Canadian Stock Car champion of 1958 is still showing championship form, last Saturday he increased his point lead over Bill Cromb and now leads with 65 points; Cromb now has 56 points. the battle is long from over. Bill Cromb was running good in the 20-lap fea- ture when he ran into a pile up that caused him to spin to avoid hitting a car that could have caused serious damage to his car, but the spin lost him his spot, and by the time he got rolling again he was too late as he had lost a lap. Steady Hallahan, starting in last place with Bill Cromb in the 20 lap feature worked his way through 19 cars and finished sec- ond, he drove a perfect race pick- ing cars ofi" one at a time and av- oided several stalled cars. Betty Carcone, driving in the ladies’ race made it three-in-a- row. She now leads in the Maple Motors point fund for the girls. Bill Hamilton of Guelph went on to his second feature win in two weeks and now is a serious threat in the points race. Local Track & Field Stars Set New Provincial 8: Dominion Records John Passmore, another Rich- mond Hiller, won the Junior 120 yard High Hurdles, with a very respectable clocking of 15.4 sec- onds. John now runs under the East York Track‘ Club banner as does Marion Munroe. Although these two athletes got their start under Bill Babcock, they went to the East York Club on Bill’s advice, as he felt that with their talent local facilities were just not enough. Holders of the low 64 averages for 12 cards turned in up to Sep- tember 2nd, will meet in match play Tuesday night September 8th. The tournament is open to all men and women over 16 years. No entry fee is required. Roger Hobson in the Midget Division, placed second in the High Jump, with a height of 5 ft. 7% ins. A jump of 5 ft. 7% ins. won the event. so Rog. came awfully close. Roger is the pres- ent holder of the Canadian Mid- get High Jump mark of 5 ft. 8% ins. Roger came up with a sec- ond in the Hop, Step and Jump with a distance of 39 ft. 2% ins. It is an amazing coaching per- formance all the way by Mr. Bab- cock. He and the kids have ac- complished all these things and we don’t even have a running track of any kind. What could they do if they had one? Seems like the sky would be the limit. The prize list amounts to $500.00 in cash and prizes and there will» be eight awards this year. Carl Beeston of Thornhill, is the present Toronto & District Miniature Golf Champion. Gary had a first in the Discus throw by tossing the heavy plat- ter 130 feet even. To end his day Gary placed second in the nine pound Shotput event with a 55 ft. 3 inch mark, and placed sec- ond in the Hop, Step and Jump by covering 40 ft. 51/. ins. A nice performance. ed off with the crack of the bat‘ A nice double play, unasisisAtegi.“ Jasia Budzianowski, in left field for the local gals, and Marg.

Jasia Budzianowski came from left field to make a great catch in back of second base on a ball hit by Ila Redshaw, Doreen Jarvis was the starting pitcher for the Stoufiville ladies. In the bottom of the fourth inn- ing, Doreen lost her control and was relieved by Audrey Murison playing third base. Doreen Jar- vis stayed in the game and went to the third base spot. In the bot- tom of the sixth. Doreen again came on to pitch, while Audrey Murison went back to third. Her control was still bad and she went in to catch in place of Lenora Loyst and Joan Gayman finished the pitching chore. If it sounds confusing, it was. Helen King was George Gour- lay’s choice as the starting pit- cher for Richmond HilL Helen was in and out of trouble and was relieved in the fifth inning by right fielder Carol Seager with King going to right field. Carol allowed two singles and gave up two walks during her stint on the mound. The big gun for Stoufiville was centre fielder Joyce Roberts. who had a triple and a double in four trips to the plate. The big pro- ducers for the Hill team were Es- ther Bell and Jasia Budzianowski with two singles each for four at bats. Summary â€"- Richmond Hill Merchants: 8 runs. 7 hits, 5 errors.

The seven runs were scored on five hits and three errors with five runs scoring af- ter two were out. Carol Seager, handling the pitching chore for the Richmond Hill Team had grounds for suing the team for non-support at this point. For three innings this had pro- mise of being a good ball game as the local ladies played their best game to date. At the end of the third inning, the local team were leading by a three to one score. Then came the fateful fourth inning. r Norm Heintzman and company of Oak Ridges really pulled the July 2nd game out of thefire and pushed the Cleaner Team down into fourth spot in the league race. In the bottom of the sev- enth and final inning, the Cleaner Team had a 6 to 3 score going in their favour when a fine pitchern Tony Achtemichuk showed that he can hit as well as pitch. Metro Chairman Frederick G. Gardiner gives “Miss Outdoors”, Nancy Robson, a few pointers in the ancient art of angling at the opening of the new Glen Haffy Con- servation Area, last week. Glen Haify, the sixth conser- vation area to be opened by the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, is located on the brink of the Niagara Escarpment high in the hills of Albion Town- The top of the sixth inning was one of the most confusing innings ever seen in the local ball factory. Players were. confused, spectators were confused. and most of all Plate Umpire Russ Cripps was so Oak Ridges Wins 7-6 Over Cleaners ship. The first Oak Ridges batter, shortstop Bobby Wall singled and by some nifty footwork finally lighted on third base. Glen Wright laid down a perfect bunt to score Wall and Wright ended up on first base. With the score now Wimbridge 6, Oak Ridges 4, Jer- ry Glover hit into a fielder’s choice, forcing Wright at second for the first out. Bill Costofi. who had relieved Howie Bennett, Wimbridge starter. in the fifth inning, walked Norm Heintzman. Shirley Smith, Oak Ridges' good left fielder, rapped out a sharp single and filled the bases. This set the stage for big Tony Ach- temichuk to pitch and win his own ball game. Terry Maddeaux, playing cen- tre field for the Richmond Hill crew, tried his best to even up the score as his big bat was very active throughout the entire ame. Coach Everett was pleased with his team’s performance des- pite the loss and feels that this team is going to make its presence felt in the league. Whitby Ladies Down Local Gals Team 19-8 Tony took a look at a couple of Costoff’s offerings, then drove a hard-hit ball down the third base line. The ball went into the dirt and bounced high over the Wim- bridge third sacket's head and out into deep left field. Three runs scored on the hit as the game ended with the Oak Ridges crew victorious by a '7 to 6 count. Coach Austin Everatt told us that pitcher Jamie Macanuel lit- erally threw his am off at Brad- ford on June 29. and although he ran into trouble at times, Jamie was the prop that held the team together. Bradford Peewees Win 8 To 2 Game These are the sort of happen- ings that make any game of ball a great spectator sport. You can never know the final outcome un- til the last man is out. Errors continued to hurt the Richmond Hill Team and at the end of seven Innings, the Whitby aggregation were leading by a 14-8 count. In the Whitby half of the eighth and final inning, five more runs were scored by Whit- by, without the local team get- ting on the score sheet. The game ended Whitby 19, Richmond Hill Merchants 8. Irene Kehoe handled the mound duties for the Whitby Team and threw a competent game, allowing 13 hits and walk- ing two over the eight inning route. Carole Seager, pitching for the Hill team, gave up 18 hits and walked four. One of the bright spots for the Richmond Hill Club was the batwork of Do- rothy King. This girl seems to have found the range and her long home run into right field in the fifth inning was something to see. Miami Marlins Tie Columbus For First confused that he was literally shook up. By the time the smoke and confusion had cleared up, the Whitby side was retired and man- aged to score one run in this in- ning. The Whitby Team had no out- standing performers on the night’s play as all the girls play- ed steady percentage baseball all the way. Mary Sanderson at short for the local team made several fine defensive plays and finished them off with good throws to first base. Toronto had the bases loaded in. the bottom of the last inning with none out, but Dave Grant came in to pitch for the Marlins and retired the sides without any runs scoring. Toronto needed one run to tie the game. Miami Toronto The Miami Marlins of the town’s International League won the only game that was actually played in the league last week. Toronto defaulted to Columbus. The Marlins did it the hard way by coming from behind twice and scoring five runs in the sixth in- ning. Dave Grant, the winning pitcher was four for four as was Ken Peters in left field for the Marlins. Cook for Rochester went three for three at the plate and was walked twice. The Marlins, as a result of the win tied Colum- bus for first place and the Red Wings dropped into a tie for last. This week finds Miami at Toronto, Columbus at Buffalo, and Montreal at Rochester. Miami 10, Rochester 6 Miami Rochester The win moved them into a first place tie with the Columbus Jets who had earlier captured a defaulted game from the Buffalo Bisons. Montreal at Rochester was postponed due to rain. Pai'kes: Plummet, Mutch and Maddeaux led the Miami assault on Toronto with three hits each. Miami 15, Toronto 14 Trailing 12-1 with two innings left, they scored 12 runs in the top of the 6th and two more in the seventh inning to win 15-14. In the Richmond Hill Town In- ternational League last week, the Miami Marlins made a fantastic comeback gainst the Toronto Maâ€" ple Leafs. ' 15 Vellcre Leads Softball League The Wimbridge Team had one of those nightmare evenings when everyone seems to be wearing Isnowshoes. They committed nine errors during the nine inning tour â€" four of them in the fourth inning. Vellore seemed to play much tighter defensive ball and made only three boo boos. The only bright spot of the game for Wimbridge was the stellar per- formance of Tony Hunter. both afield and at bat. The game on June 30 was fea- tured by plenty of hitting by both sides. The Roberts brothers, Ken and Norm, handled the throwing job for the league-leading Veliore Team and between them allowed 12 hits and gave up nine walks. Norm Roberts came on in relief for Brother Ken after one and I third innings. The first batter to face him was Wimbridge pitcher. Murray Thompson, who was hit by a wild pitch and got a free trip to first. Norm’s control seem- ed shaky at times and in the sev- enth inning, Wimbridge left field- er Connie Nason was hit in the head by a wild pitch. and ‘al- though shaken up remained in the game. This was a game where heavy hitters had a field day. Wimbridge Cleaner's nifty centre fielder Tony Hunter blasted out two hits in four official at bats - both home runs. The first hit was over the fence in left field and the next one was a long one to deep cen- tre that landed well out beyond the lights. Norm Roberts did his darnedest to aid the Vellore cause by coming up with a two for five average â€" a ground rule 'double in the third and a triple in the eighth inning. Murray Thompson started on the hill for Wimbridge, but the usually artful hurler just didn't seem to have the ball working for him. Murray stayed on the job for five and two-thirds innings before Bill Costotf came on in relief. During his stint Thomp- son gave up 13 hits and walked three. Costofl‘ finished out the remaining three and oneâ€"third innings. yielding seven hits and no walks. Vellore: 17 runs, 20 hits, 3 er- rors. At the end of the seventh in- ning the draw for the Intermed- iate Softball league was held.
