â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" There are two members of the Tntermediate Footâ€" ball Team who seem to justify just what sport is all about. Jerry McGowan, a good halfback, broke his left collarbone a month ago. Despite being out of action, Jerry has not missed a practice and always is on hand for games and he gives the team all the moral support he can. Some fellows might be inclined to stay at home and watch television, but McGowan is out with HIS team all the way. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€"’â€" Wick Mills has a new venture off and running. The Bayviewaorse Ranch is Mr. Mills’ latest interest, and as riding stables go is a darn nice layout. Wick and his partner are constantly improving the property located on 19th Avenue just east of Bayview. Horse-back riding, hay rides and sleigh rides in season are available and Wick seems pleased with the first season’s activity so far. If you like equestrian sports, why not drop out to the Bayview Horse Ranch and see just what goes on? â€" SPORT SPOTS â€"- Equipment is sorely needed by both Intermediate and Midget Football Teams. If you have a helmet, shoulder pads. pants, etc., that you no longer need, how about calling Bill Points at TU. 4-1944 and helping the 13:31 football afficionados with the job they are trying 0. Wayne Bailey, 3. genial red head iniured his leg playing football last year and is sitting out this season on his doctor’s advice. Wayne isn’t brooding about his ill-fortune but is out with the team every time a game or practice comes up and helps with Whatever chore he is asked to handle. Every football club could use a man like Mr. Bailey, it makes a coach’s job a lot easier, and when a boy gives loyalty like this it makes it all seem worthwhile. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" The 14 to 17 year old age groups seem to be very reluctant with their hockey registrations. How about it guys? Let’s get the applications in and give the execu- tive of the Richmond Hill Hockey Association a chance to get/all organized for a good season. of keys. if anyone found a set of keys in a green leather case, please let Bill Points or Del. Madely know and they will see that Ian McIntosh gets them back. -â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" The Nortown Plaza in Willowdale has a new sports attraction to present â€"â€" go-cart racing. The plaza park- ing lot is used as a race course and the action is hot and lively. In case you don't know what a go-cart is, it con- sists of a solidly built metal frame with eight to ten inch wheels and a chain saw or lawn mower motor slung on the back. The steering is positive -â€" a one to one ratio being standard and the rest of the equipment is a bucket seat and a heavy hand on the throttle. Due to the low centre of gravity and the wide track the little chariots just can’t be tipped over try as you will. Top speed for these noisy doodlebugs is around 40 m.p.h., but when you’re out in the open with your tail only three inches off the pavement it seems more like 80. These cars are built to a standard formula and safety features and motor sizes are rigidly controlled by the Go-Cart Racing Association. The Allencourt or Levendale Plaza would be ideal Hill attrat ing 10 lively. sists ‘ inch x Ian McIntosh, quarterback of the Richmond Hill Indian Football Team had a little bad luck after last Saturday's winning effort. His girl friend had his car keys in her hand, but got so absorbed in the game that she apparently dropped them. Del. Madely came to the rescue by driving to the McIntosh home for a spare set of keys. If anyone found a set of keys 1n a green leather case, please let Bill Points or Del. Madely know and they will see that Ian McIntosh gets them back. The season is over but baseball news on a local scale is still with us. The Wimbridge Cleaner Ball Team got to- gether last Saturday night at the home of Coach Russ Crippa for a post-season party and to make a presenta- tion to Charlie Wimbs, Club President and Sponsor. By all accounts the “do” was very successful and nicely writes “finis” to the year’s activity. 12 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, October 8, 1959 . SPORI SPOTS . ‘ar â€"â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" by Ron Craino Mr. and Mrs. George Fraser are a couple of people who really know and enjoy Badminton. They were members of the original Richmond Hill Badminton Club which was forced out of action when the shift system of school- ing affected the local High School. Mr. and Mrs. Fraser kept active by joining the Aurora Club and playing two nights a week but now that the High School gymnas- ium is available again are endeav- ouring to get a local club rolling. Just in case anyone is wonder- ing what it might cost a fledg- ling badminton player, Mrs. Fras- er was kind enough to supply a few facts and figures. The only requirements are the urge to play, a pair of white soled run- ning shoes and a racquet which can be purchased for as little as five dollars - shorts and T shirts are a matter of personal choice. and as everyone knows don't re- quire taking out a second mort- gage to buy. Instruction will b1. available for beginners so that everyone will get the maximum benefit from the club. There are other Badminton .Clubs in the vicinity and~it is hoped that inter club matches ‘can be arranged and good com- New Members Welcome Shown above is the pennant winning National Lea- gue Milwaukee Braves.

At the moment membership fees are contingent on the num- ber of members signed up. Nets are already on hand but birds are an item that require freduent re- placement and the Gym rental is six dollars per evening. There is a guest fee for visitors who can then take out a full membership if they so desire. At the present time arrangements are available whereby fees can be spread over a period as long as they are paid by Christmas. Fees are merely tentative as of this writing and are subject to revision - the re- vision will be to lower the costs if 'the anticipated response is forthcoming. Badminton is one of the finest games in the world for condition- ing and anyone interested in a healthful pursuit with social over- tones please contact Mrs. Fraser at TU. 4-1379. SCHOOL AREA FIELD DAY The Field Day for School area No. 1, Markham - Vaughan Which was to take place Wednesday, October 7, at Thornlea School was cancelled owing to weather and will be held instead on Tuesday, October 13. a! th Russéll Lynett Clerk comer Wrestling Program The clean style wrestling open- ing at Thornhill Market Tuesday, October 13 has started quite a controversy among both the fans and grapplers. One fan stated that he wouldn’t come to a clean wrestling show, claiming that there would be nothing to holler about. But. Joe Greenfield says, “Any fan who is a fan, and un- derstands the fine points in the game, will appreciate this move to clean wrestling. They will know that there is actually more thrills in a hard fought clean match than a rough and tumble thrills in a hard fought clean match than a rough and tumble contest, that sometimes upsets some of the female fans” Green- field further states “I am deadly in earnest about these matches being kept clean, we don't want fans who are looking for blood and thunder, it will be much bet- ter if they stay home, we don’t want them, but we do want). peo-‘ ple who understand and apprec- iate the wrestling sport as it used to be and will be again.” Roy McMahon president of the Association is looking forward to the show on Tuesday next, says it is one of the best things to happen to the game in the last twenty years, but will the fans like it, that’s the question. Head- ing this card will be Red Gar- ner Langstaff mat veteran and none other than Gori fEd Mango- tich of Ryding, Ontario. Mango- tich only back from England a few weeks is in terrific shape and feels that he can take Garner. “Red is a lot older now and he must have slowed down a lot.” says the rugged Slav, “al- though the clean wrestling will help him, “I’m no slouch myself.” “Aledo Orlando tangles with Wolf Jennings of Sudbury in the semi final, and I have to see this one. if Jennings has to wrestle clean the Italian boy will take him in two straight falls. In the other two events carded, Pal Green- field promising young Richmond Hill welterweight will test the skill of Ken Monckton and Jack Dennis will see if he c,n trip up Lanky Lenny Hewitt. 11 in all it looks like a good card and I for one will be on hand to see it, (this I gotta see.)

Mumberson Enjoys World Series ALEDO ORLANDO Classy Italian Canadian grap- pler who tangles with Wolf Jen- nings at Thomhill Market Tues- day, October 13, at 8.45 pm. NORTH YORK -â€" Fees for night classes have risen in North York this year. The school board has split the year into two terms - Fall and Winter, charging $10. per class per term, except in package courses such as typing and stenography. The academic course is also a straight fee for as many classes as desired. Calling it an “unforgettable experience” Councillor Law- son Mumberson returned to council duty Monday after at- tending the first two games of the World Series in Chi- cago. A popular resident of Victoria Square and an active member of Markham Townâ€" ship Council, Mr. Mumberson had been planning for some 20 years to see a World Series game, but it seemed some- thing always intervened. This year Mr. Mumberson realized his dream and motored to Chicago in time to see the opening games. 'ennanf His troubles really began when he reached the “Windy City” and tried to secure du- cats for the games. Wednes- day morning there were no less than 5,000 fans already in line vainly trying to get tic- kets. Another 500 fans were seeking bleecher seats for the second game. Thanks to the kindness of the Chicago “men in blue” Mr. Mumberson was finally able to get tickets. A former policeman himself Mr. Mumberson served as an in- spector with the Toronto Pol- ice for many years. _ “Scalpers” were selling tic- kets everywhere for prices ranging from $50. to $125. Al- though scalping is illegal in Ontario it isn’t in Chacago and tickets were being of- fered at fantastic prices. Stad- ium officials were selling standing room tickets for $4.10. The Chicago Stadium is a lot smaller than the colis- eum at Los Angeles and seats only 48,000 plus 12.000 stand- ing room. bowling TU. 4.2101 EEIOPPOSITE LOBLAWS fluted SHIELDS W Monday, October 12 (Holiday) 2-4 PM. â€" PUBLIC SKATING Saturday, October 10 PUBLIC SKATING 8-10 P.M‘ October l3, 14, 15, 16 SKATING FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN 4-5.30 ADMISSION 25c ICE TIME AVAILABLE THORNHIlL MARKET TUESDAY, OCT. 13 - 8:45 PM. - EUROPEAN STYLE WRESTLING, CATCH AS CATCH CAN, N0 PUNCHING, NO KICKING, NO HAIR PULLING.
