Anyone interested in these girls and their welfare as a majorette corps, won’t you please contact the Rich- mond Hill Police Department just as soon as you can? How about a group of you merchants such as the Allen- court Plaza,- Richmond Heights Plaza or Bayview Plaza getting into the act and giving the girls a helping hand. â€"â€" SPORT SPOTS â€"- _ Sports in the Hill are in a slight lull at the moment. The only activity at the moment is on the football and bowling fronts. Hockey is about due to make its debut and curling will go about the same time. So stick around and we’ll try and let you know what goes on. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" What ever happened to lacrosse as a major sport in these parts? Time was when every kid of any size at all had a lacrosse stick as soon as he could walk. My own offspring would think that a lacrosse stick was some kind of a smelt net. These tired old eyes have not seen a youngster with a lacrosse stick for many a year. Seems. strange that over in Brampton lacrosse is a thriving affair: but dead as a Dodo bird in the Hilland vicinity. â€" SPORT SPOTS -â€" Anybody interested in adopting- 35 very personable young ladies? The local majorette corps is a very fine group of young girls who are desperately in need of 11 “Sugar Daddy or Daddies”. Don’t draw any false con- clusions ‘and wipe the steam off your glasses â€" the girls need a sponsor or sponsors to help defray expenses that will be incurred on trips to other cities to enter into com- petition with other corps and carry the name of Rich- mond Hill far and wide. Owens’ system is the direct antithesis of the Pool system. Steve feels that football players should have a little fun and in the first game played under Messrs. Owens’ regime, the boys had fun by taking Montreal into camp in a very handy manner. The inference is that even a good professional athlete can go much better when he is happy in his job, and of course this is true of any job in the world. It will be interesting to see just how Argos fare from here on in. Contrary to general belief. hockey is NOT Canada’s national game. Lacrosse is recognized as THE national game and here it is falling apart at the seams. It would be something if a group could arouse interest in the game and get into national competition for the Lady Minto trophy. Some day “ team from this area may get the town’s name splashe -ross the pages of very paper in the country. Now Hampton Pool, the fellow who believed in strict discipline has departed as has one of his assistants, Joe Thomas. Big genial Steve Owen, erstwhile mentor of the New York Giants, got the nod from General Manager Lew Haymgn and is now very much the head man. â€"â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" A couple of months ago, yours truly stuck his neck out a country mile and said he thought that the Argos were a very hot football machine. The hot machine pro- ceeded to go off like a damp squib and if any other team had g_poorer record it was purely coincidental. From the foregoing paragraph it would appear that much better value is given the young hockey player in Richmond Hill. As wise shoppers, What do you think? One other thing to keep very much in mind is the fact that these players will all be insured and seems to add more argument for a complete good-value package in the Richmond Hill Hockey League. Lots of criticism and comment, both pro and con, has been heard lately about the hockey charges this year. In doing a little scouting around we found that in one arena not too far from here the charge is $6.00 for the season for each player. This includes only 12 league games with practicetime extra. For $10.00, $5.00 registration plus season’s pass of $5.00. the young player in Richmond Hill plays 26 league games and there is N O extrgicharge for practice time. The 14 to 17 year-old groups seem to be holding back on their registrations. Very few have been received to date. Could be that the fact that ALL minor hockey players are to be registered the same as the younger age groups was not made too clear. All you would-be hockey players, 14 to 17, better get those registrations in real soon and don’t forget those birth certificates. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" Somethingabout hockey registrations seems to be in- dicated at this time. The younger group seems to be very enthusiastic and to date somewhere in the neigh- bourhood of 200 applications have been received. This is a fairly large neighbourhood indeed! V The call is still out for lady ten pin bowlers. If any of you members of the fair sex are interested, would you please contact Joe Boyer at TU. 4-1795. The action takes place at the Richmond Bowl, so the location is really handy for most people. _ _ _ __ ‘__ 16 THE LIBERAL. Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, OctoSer 1, 1959 H.

Again it was David Grant who sparked the Marlins as he pitched his first shutout of the year, giving up only three base hits while yielding but one walk. This was Dave’s eleventh victory of the year without a defeat and it earned him an award by his team as the Most Valuable Play- er. The Marlin hitters backed Dave up in this one with a solid 16 hit attack and a six run lead in the first inning. Presser, P. Maddeaux, Plummet, Owens, Bishop and Richardson each col- lected at least a pair of hits, with Richardson getting the big blow of the game, a grand slam home- run in the first inning. The Maple Leafs, winners of last year’s playofi's over the same Miami Marlins played a tremen- dous series with "Red" Mackay, Meraska, Jones, Simpson, Ham- A meeting of the executive and coaches of the Richmond Hill Hockey Association was held at H. J. Mills Tuesday evening. The purpose of the meeting was to hear a report on registrations to date from Registrar Fred Waters and to decide on a policy to has- ten outstanding registrations. As of last Tuesday, 175 appli- cations had been received, appro- ximately one third of the neces- sary total. Registrations will be accepted at the arena office this Saturday, October 3 from 1 to 5 pm. and registrations will be ac- cepted without a birth certificate being immediately available pro- vided that the certificate is pro- duced at some later date. The Miami Marlins, under coach Bob Deighton, whip- ped the Toronto Maple Leafs 17-0 last Sunday afternoon to capture the International League Playoffs in three games. This was the climax to a very successful year for the Mia- mi Ball Club as they also won the 1959 Pennant earlier in the season and this coupled with a 5-0 victory over an all- Star Team in Aurora would point up that the Toronto Maple Leafs lost no face over the defeat despite the lop- sided score in the third game of the best-of-three final. He estimated the classes would contain around 20 to 25 police- men a session as the approximate- ly 75 policemen of the three mun- icipalities are on three shifts whi- ch rotate so the same men would- n't be able to be present each week. The tumbling mats be- longing to the gym will be used; as well as the parallel bars and the horses for limbering up pre- ceeding the lessons.

They scored six runs in the first inning, added 1 in the second, 5 in the third and finished the scoring for the year with five runs in the last innings. This week the ball club had its award meeting and all the players received a crest and three other players received a cup for their work. Dave Grant received the Most Valuable Player award, Pete Maddeaux the leading hitter on the club with a .476 average, and Eric Prosser the Most Pop- ular Player award. Toronto Miami On a suggestion by Elgin Bar- row, it was decided that the schools be canvassed to ensure that information about the up- coming season be given to all po- tential players. The programme worked out by the executive promises great things for this year and it is fairly certain that there will be better than good en- tertainment for every member of the family. weather has made ice and hockey seem to be very remote indeed. The truth of the matter is that time grows very, very short, and to have a successful season your boy is needed as a player. So come on Dad. let’s get that chip of! the old block down to the ar- ena on Saturday, who knows? maybe you’Ve got another Mahov- lich or Beliveau in the family. Principal Wight Morrow could see no objection to the use of the school equipment as it is “rugged equipment” and if used in proper manner should suffer no more damage from use by men than by the students. The board emphasiz- ed however, the group would be responsible for the equipment and its proper care. The usual fee of $6.00 per night for outside or- ganization use of the school gym will be paid by‘the police.‘ The booster tickets are now on sale, so if a coach, team manager or executive member approaches YOU, don't run and hide.

The bear was glad to see his master and bowled him over In his excitement, for you see Ted was pretty hungry. he was not used to fending for himself. A huge black bear weighing over 550 pounds escaped from its Richmond Hill home last week. The bear named “Ted” is owned by Dave McKigney of Richmond Hill who has trained the bear to wrestle in the ring as a special attraction. ‘ THE COST? ' AS LOW AS Hunters are asked to PLEASE exercise CARE and CAUTION. Too much live- stock is killed by careless- ness, and residents in built- up areas fear for their child- ren's safety during the local hunting season. The pheasant hunt in Markham Township has been designated from October 21 to October 31. One council. that of Pick- ering Township, would like to see hunting curtailed, to deal with the problem. It is up to the hunter, who is the only bird really enjoying the sport anyhow, to hunt care- fully -â€"or he may not be allowed to hunt at all in future. ~ ' Baby - - - Bear Home Again' Get all the mileage and performunte your (or (an deliver ‘1 I68 YONGE STREET NORTH RICHMOND HILL, ONT.
