mmmmmummmxmunmmumnmmmnm Dynes Jewellers’ last chance to cash in the blue chips this year is in the series with Ken Avarell’s All- Stars. The A’s have a one-game lead in the three out of five series, having won the first game. Avarells are now in a series with Dynes’ erstwhile opponents, Sullivan Jewellers and scheduling of the North York League final games is difficult as the O.A.S.A. playdowns naturally take precedence. The local ladies’ aggregation, playing under the banners of the Richmbnd Hill merchants, is not having -- SPORT SPOTS â€" The Vellore Softball Team bowed very, very un- gracefully out of the Intermediate semi-final series last Thursday night. They were scheduled to go against Wimbridge Cleaners in the deciding game at King City, but because their protest of the previous game on a min- or technicality was disallowed by league, they refused to field a team and Umpire John Shearer awarded the game to Wimbridge. The Vellore players never seemed to lack confidence in their own ability and it seems strange that they should have had any qualms about playing the rubber game. It seems a peculiar situation when a team is eliminated from an important series by know will cause an award taking actions that they must The local ladies’ aggregation, playing unuer uu: banners of the Richmbnd Hill merchants, is not having too much luck in the P.W.S.U. playdowns, despite con- siderable bolstering. The baseball season on the local level seems as if it might be in for an early wind-up this year. year. 'Wimbridge Cleaners finally got together and swamped Vellore 9-1 to capture the second game of the Intermediate semi-finals. Seems as how Coach Russ Cripps held a party for the boys at his Boisdale Ave. home, the night prior to their 9-1 win. If parties can do this much for a team when is the next one, Russ? Wreck - Em ‘ RACE v We received some comments from a Richmond r1111 citizen the other day that hit mighty close to home. This citizen allows as how close to 500 youngsters have had an opportunity of playing in an organized softball league this summer. This is an opportunity that was denied to his generation, and he thinks it is a great and good thing. What gives him pause to ponder is the fact that 500 kids repreSent approximately 1,000 parents and he doubts very much if 1,000 people have seen or been seen at all the games this year.

He feels that the coaches and executive who plan- ned this year’s activities have more interest in the small fry than the average parent. He must be right because these men don’t earn one red cent and give up a lot of their time to boot. Playoff time is upon us and the kids are going to be going all out to win a championship.

The motion to accept the Police Committee recommendation was adopted on motion of Councillor Elegant and Councillor Ross yith licences For Sound Trucks Councillor Bradstock voting a- gainst it. Councillor Bradstock said he would go along with the suggestion that sound trucks should be banned. Police Committee Chairman Haggart in bringing in the report stated the committee members had given the petition careful consideraton. He said the petition represented 54 homes, and as there are some 3600 homes in town it was felt the petition was not sufficiently representative to warrant town action which would mean putting a man out of bus- iness. Mr. Haggart said it is a contentious issue and he didn’t feel a small minority as represen- ted by the petition should be al- lowed to close up an established business. It was pointed out during the dscussion that a licencing by-law will be introduced which will re- gulate the operation of sound trucks. The majority of council members felt that a licencing by- law with regulation hours and mode of operation would be am- ple protection for the public. At present there are no regulations governing the operation of sound trucks. Council members had before them a copy of Toronto’s antiâ€"- noise by law. It was referred to’ the Police committee for consid- eration and recommendations to be considered at a future meeting. May Sell County Herd 0f Cattle A special meeting of York County will be held Friday even- ing. Reeve Perkins reported to Richmond Hill Town Council Monday night that one of the main items of business will be deciding the future of the H01- stein herd at York Manor Farm. The herd is an exceptionally fine one and some members feel that this is an opportune time to realize a good sum for it. “Is the‘ herd paying" asked Councillor Paterson. The Reeve said there was some doubt whether or not the herd really is a paying proposition. “Tell the County to get out of the cattle business and run the business of the County of York" said councillor Haggart. Another item of Friday’s meet- ing will be consideration of the Municipal Board settlement of County of York assets as between the County and Metropolitan To~ mnto. ‘ from a Richmond Hill Walks played a big part in the final result as four Sullivan bat- ters who got on by the free pass route were brought home to score. Just by way of contrast, Benson gave up one walk and the runner was left stranded on base. Ben- son struck out five men and gave up six hits over the nine inning distance. A very durable Bus. Benson and his team mates were not to be denied as they eliminated Dynes Jewellers from the 0.A.S.A. Playoffs last Thursday, by winning their second straight game of the best two out of three series. The final score â€" Sullivan Jewellers 8 and Dynes Jewell- ers 1, was not a fair indication of the type of ball Dynes are capable of, but they seemed to be playing under press- ure that produced unusually costly errors. distance. According to Dynes’ batters, Benson has five speeds of a slow ball, and as every pitch is thrown with the same motion, hitting one of Benson’s ofierings, presents quite a problem in ballistics. The big fellow seems to pitch effort- lessly and to judge from appear- ance should be good for at least another five years. In this game he gave up six hits to go along, with the one walk he gave up and never was in trouble at any time. George Ward was Dynes’ choice as their starting pitcher and ‘Big’ George had a rough night as he was in trouble in the first inning. George walked the Sullivan first baseman, Mel Simpson; after striking out leadâ€"on man Frank Crawford. Centre fielder 'Bob Singleton went down swinging and left fielder Vince Downs drew a walk. Shortstop Ed. Rush- ford singled to cash Simpson in to give Sullivans a 1-0 lead at the end of the’first inning. Sullivan Jewellers Team Eliminate Dynes 8-! The second run of the game was scored by Sullivans in the fourth inning. Catcher Lennie Gaull sin- gled and was brought home on a good single off the hat of right fielder John Massingham. 0.A.S.A.

The local boys had their backs to the wall as they had already dropped the first game in Cobourg but coach Jimmy Briden and manager Mar- shall Thompson had the boys real- ly fired up to the point where they just couldn’t and wouldn’t be beaten. Richmond Hill Juveniles Triumph Over Cobourg I The first game was a bit of a tight fit with the Hill Boys win- ning the game in the ninth inning ‘by an eight to seven score. With two on and one out in the ninth inning John Haldane singled to become the hero of the piece as two runs scored on his single - the tying and winning runs. Wayne Richardson went all the way on the hill and hurled a very steady, heady game. Doug Bowen caught a good game until being relieved in the seventh by Mike Gain. The big gun for Cobcurg was P. Armstrong who hit safely four times on five trips to the plate. The second game was some- thing of a rout as the Hill Boys won by a ten to five count. Eight runs were notched in the eighth inning to complete the Richmond Hill scoring.

Bus Benson singled to left to score Rushford and make the score 6-0 for Sul- livans. The first Dynes scoring threat came in the seventh inning as they scored their only run of the game. Bowen struck out and Tom- my Easton was safe on an error by Frank Crawford, Sullivan sec- ond sacker Jack Morkin singled to move Tommy to third and he came in to score on Moe William- son's single. ‘ Sullivan luck held sway again in the eighth inning. With two men out Simpson singled follow- ed by another one base hit off the hat of Bob Singleton. Vince Downs hit a roller to Tommy Ea- ston. Easton elected to play for the force at second, but threw wildly into the ground to allow Simpson and Singleton to score. For Dynes Jewellers, one of the big features was the outstanding play of Jack Dunn on second base and the fine work of Moe Williamson at third. These two gentlemen gave it everything they had, as did the rest of the team, but on this night their best was short of being enough. Summary â€" Winning pitcher: Bus Benson. Losing pitcher, Geo.

Dynes Jewellers: 1 run, 6 hits, 5 errors. ‘ Plate umpire: Lou Visconti. ase umpire: Jack Mitchell. ven inning game and came up with a very nifty effort. Bobby Neal in right field for the local entry played heads up Ball in both games both in the field and by some very timely work with the bat. P. Armstrong again lead the Cobourg hitsmiths as he belted out three for four. Jim Briden and Marsh Thomp- son deserve a lot of credit for the time and effort they have put into this team. This ball club is a vastly improved organization and Messrs. Briden and Thomp- son deserve a large pat on the back. The boys will now face the win- ner of the Waterloo-Dundas ser- ies and the club directors feel that this will be the toughest op- positioh the club has yet faced. The inter-county loop out in those parts breeds good ball players but we feel that the local lads have more than a good chance of picking up all the marbles. Lake Wilcox 26 â€" Wimbridge 15 In the first game of the best three out of five series, a lack lustre Wimbridge team were un- mercifully clobbered by a hust- ling Wilcox Team. The only Wilcox Team member who had less than two hits was coach Wes Thomas who spent the evening coaching at first base. Coach Russ Cripps used three pitchers in a vain attempt to stem the tide as hits pelted into the outfield like hail. With the pres- sure really on the Wimbridge Team piled error on top of error and have never looked worse. Lake Wilcox on the other hand seemed to be very sharp indeed until the fifth inning when Tom Biso came on in relief of starter Jon Bunn, with two men out. At the end of the sixth inning the score was twenty-two to e1- even in favour of the Lakers and from this point on they seemed to ease up somewhat and the game ended Lake Wilcox 26 Win:- bridge 15. The next game in this series goes on Thursday night at King City. For some reason the Wim- bridge'Team who have played all their league home games in the Town Park were classed as an outside team and charged an ex- tra four dollars for the use of the lights. This may seem to be a minor item but an extra four dol- lars out of the collection makes quite a dent in the Kitty. The concensus of opinion seems to be that Vellore, who were el- iminated by refusing to field a team against Wimbridge in King City had a legitimate protest whi- ch was not settled when the game was called. Ken Roberts, who is a good competitor in his own right, made the decision to ab- andon the game. Ken now admits that he should have played the game and worried about the pro- test later, but at the time he took a firm stand on a matter of prin- ciple. This is really a tough way to lose out as Vellore Team ac- tually won the league champion- ship on the regular season play. Wimbridge Win 9-] To Tie Series At One Game Each He received terrific support from his battery mate catcher Jim Gregory. After the game Thompson gave Gregory a large share of credit for the win and coach Russ Cripps also was high in his praise of Gregorys work. They said it couldn’t be done â€"- but Charlie Wimbs’ Wimbridge Cleaners team knotted the count at one game each as they downed Vellore 9-1, after everyone else had kissed their chances goodbye. Murray Thompson hurled a very masterful one hitter to lead the Cleaner feam to victory. "The executive of the R.H.D.I. S.L. regret that circumstances have resulted in an unfortunate ending to what has been a good season of softball. At no time during the year has the execu- tive had the whole hearted sup- port that it deems necessary to do a thorough job.

The.following statement was issued this week by the Richmond Hill and District Intermediate Softball League Executive who Wish to clarify their position regarding the unfortunate incidents that have occurred in the past few days.
