12 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, September 10, 1959 W + SPORT SPOTS t by Ron Craine By the time this column appears in print, all the children in the Hill and surrounding areas will be hap- pily (?) back in school. If all the sighs of relief by all the mothers concerned could be harnessed there would be power enough to reach the moon any old day in the week. _ _ It has been a long, hot summer and sportsw1se 1t has been one of the best seasons ever. Hardball, baseball, track and field, soccer, have all held sway but are grad- ually fading out to make room for football, curling and King Hockey. Just one last opportunity to say a collective thank you to all the adults who have done so much for the small fry this year. The executive and coaches of the Minor Softball League are to be commended for the time and effort that they have put out on the kids’ behalf. And let us not forget the distaif side who have had the younger girls playing ball and did an excellent job with very little aid from anyone. The playground program was an innovation that got itself well launched this year. The sparkling new play- ground equipment and the sparkling young playground supervisors helped to while away many hours of what would have otherwise been idle time. Here's hoping that the program gets even greater support next year. The summer has also provided many baseball fans with a great many thrilling moments. Who has forgot- ten Bill Bowen’s great two-hitter against the NHL. All-Stars, as he struck out batter after batter with one of the most dazzling displays ever seen in the town park? And who has forgotten the long home run blast off the bat of Sil Steffen with two men on to win the game three to nothing for Dynes Jewellers? Just ask Clive Bettles, he knows what I mean. The Intermediate Softball League has had a tough year organization-wise, but a lot of people have enjoyed watching a lot of spirited softball action. The Ladies’ League, while not faring too well in the win ledger, provided entertainment for a good many people. Yes- sirree Bub, it sure has been a dandy season. â€"â€" SPORT SPOTS â€"- ‘As we remarked earlier baseball is drawing to a close and football is very much with us. Last Saturday, the Richmond Hill Intermediate entry in the Metro Rugby League served notice that they have a real con- tender this year. The weather was a little on the warm side but the handful of spectators found enough shade under the trees to have a thoroughly enjoyable outing. Maybe next Saturday you’ll be out there with your neighbour. One thing for sure, you won’t regret it. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€"â€" Richmond Hill’s very own Speedster, Marian Mun- roe. has returned from the Pan-American games at Chicago where Marian represented Canada. Marian brought home a bronze medal. But one thing she got that may prove more valuable to her over the long haul and‘that is experience. ‘ Marian competed against the best on this continent and from what she learned will be just that much better when Olympic trials roll around. Stay with it, girl, we’re all more than a little proud of you and your accomplishments. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" The Minor Hockey season won’t be too long in get- ting under way. The $5.00 registration fee seems to have upset some people, but stop and think for just a minute, where else and for such a price can a boy get nearly six months of worthwhile entertainment? Seems like a very reasonable deal to me and I sure hope that I meet you up there as we both watch YOUR boy in action, I BA. 1-1442 AV. 5-1942 I s BURKE s'r., WILLOWDALI‘.

Joca/ Mnor So/tda/f oaague AMERICAN LEAGUE It took the Kansas City crew three games before they eliminat- ed the Washington team by the skin of their teeth. Washington took the first game by a 14-10 score, but Kansas City won the next two games 6 to 5 and 8-7 to advance into the final series. In the first game of the other semi-final series Cleveland de- feated Boston by a 7-6 score. Bos- ton turned the tables and came out on the long end of an 8 to 7 count to knot this series at one game each. NATIONAL LEAGUE Milwaukee who finished in third place on the seasons play are proving a hard nut for the pennant winning St. Louis Club to crack. Milwaukee won the first game of the set 5 to 3 but St. Louis came back to win the se- cond game 15 to 12. The series is now tied a game for each club. The Chicago boys who backed into the semiâ€"finals by the verit- able skin of their teeth made coach Stan Shaddoff very happy as they eliminated the Los Angel- es Dodgers in two straight games by scores of 9 to 2 and 14 to 8. The L. A. Club lost the services of their best pitcher as he was in- jured in a motor accident and the boys were left without a first line pitcher. Chicago got good pit- ching from Peter Gates as he al- lowed only five hits in the two games. INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE Miami cakewalked to two High scoring victories over the Colum- bus team to win a berth in the final series. It was the old story of too big, too much, too often and although Columbus fought gamely they were outmanned and out gunned all along the line. The Toronto - Rochester series is not yet underway and three games are scheduled for this week in an attempt to wind up_ the series. There can be no definite comâ€" mittment on the schedules of fin- al games until the outcome of the semi-final series is definitely de- cided. Averells All-Stars 5 Dynes Jewellers 4 Averells proved too tough for . Dynes to handle although the 10- cal lads gave it a big try and seemed to have things going their way until the seventh inning. Bill Bowen started for Dynes and allowed nine hits and a walk until relieved in the_ eighth by George Ward. Billy fanned seven during his seven inning stint and drove in two runs with an over the fence home run in the second inning to give the Jewellers a three to one lead. Chet Maslanka started for the Allâ€"Stars but was relieved in the seventh by Ed Fairbrother as he walked the first two batters to - as o ... When you move to town...or to a new home .

Chet had a little trouble with the plate as he gave up sev- en passes before getting relief. Chester pitched two hit ball as the only hits off him were a home run by Bowen and a double by Moe Williamson. ' Ed. Fairbrother whittled Dynes’ lead to one run in the sixth as he laced a home run shot over the fence. In the top of the seventh inning the A’s pushed two runs across to lead Dynes 4 to 3. In the bottom of the seventh the Jewellers knotted the score as Gillespie who had walked was scored on Bill Jacksons single in the top of the ninth inning with the score tied at 4 all, catcher Ross Brooks drew a walk and was scored easily on Ed Fairbrothers triple. This ended the scoring with Averells owning a 5â€"4 vic- tory. This win gives Averells a two to nothing lead in a best three out of five series and action will resume Tuesday in Ledbury Park at 8.00 pm. If a return game is necessary it will go at 8.00 pm.

Although a great deal has been discovered about the nature of this growth, the cause is still unknown. iridg Eves Playoff Series In one of the wildest games of the season, Wimbridge Cleaners were finally declared winners of a game that ended abruptly in the eighth inning. The game had been anything but a pitchers’ duel up to the eighth inning as the teams were all even at the end of seven in- nings with 17 runs each way. In the sixth inning, Glen Wright, Lake Wilcox catcher, was tossed out of the game by Plate Umpire Bill Clephane for an attempted trip of a runner coming in from third. In the eighth inning, Jack Hurst drew a walk and was scor- ed by a triple hit by Len McLean. Connie Nason drove a long fly ‘ball to centre field and McLean was able to score easily on the throw. Umpire Clephane claimed that Wilcox third sacker, Ben Gallant, had interfered with Mc- Lean and ejected Mr. Gallant for the evening. This left the Lake with only eight players and a long hard wrangle broke out that ended only after Dugald McLean doused the big lights. The series is now tied up at two games each and the final game is set to go in King City. The league executive insists that it does not recognize this as an official series, so what happens now is your guess. Al Dempster, M illiken Miniature Golf Champion The elimination play for the International Miniature Golf Tournament was held at Unionville Fairways on Mon- day, September 7th. The win- ner of the champion trophy was Al Dem-pster of Milliken. He will receive an “All-ex- penses" paid trip to Asbury Park, New Jersey, where he will compete for the grand prize of a new car.
