18 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday The tennis-playing fraternity in and around Rich- mond Hill is strongly urged to attend a meeting on Thursday April 7th at 8.15 p.m., in the Municipal Build- ing. Mrs. Jean Thomson, Richmond Hill Recreational Director will be at the meeting where ways and means of getting tennis into action will be discussed. It is of vital importance that as many people as possible turn out for this meeting as it is a hard but true fact that if enough interest is not demonstrated, the activity may have to be dropped. It would behoove all tennis players to plan to attend this meeting and present the best possible case for the world of tennis. â€" SPORT SPOTS -â€" The average merchant in Richmond Hill is a pretty swell guy, or gal, as the case may be. Anytime a money raising campaign for a sports activity is launched, the merchants are the first and possibly the only ones, to be approached. They usually kick through after a little friendly bantering and the overall sports world in Rich- mond Hill owes these merchants a heartfelt, grateful thanks. Everyone who participates in a sporting activity or those of you whose children are playing in an organ- ized sport should realize that without the support of the merchants, there just wouldn’t be any sport. Let’s make our thanks as tangible as possible and whenever possible patronize our local tradespeople. â€"- SPORT SPOTS â€" The baseball seminar for coaches and umpires has had a change of date due to the Easter holidays. The school will operate for three nights at the McConaghy school at 8 pm. on April 5, 12 and 14. One of the fore- most authorities on the game of softball will be on hand as a mentor, none other than the dean of softball, Mr. Maxwell (Maxie) Sheff. If you intend to register for the school, do it right now by contacting Grant Gibb at TU. 4-3435 or umpire-in-chief Tom Craig at TU. 4-4059. Your registration is needed right now. i â€" SPORT SPOTS â€"â€" As you no doubt know, the Sports Day Parade is coming up on June 8th. This year the parade is going to be even bigger and better than ever and several new attractions will be added to the bill. One of these attrac- tions will be the presence in the parade of a young lady who will represent Miss Richmond Hill of 1960. Mrs. Bernice Gibson, proprietress of the Gibson Girl dress store has consented to organize the selection of a beauty queen for us and all you girls who were winners in the three previous contests are urged to contact Mrs. Gib- son. The queen will be chosen in a contest held on June 2, so that she and her attendants will be able to partici- pate in the parade. Not too long ago we were bemoaning the fact that lacrosse seemed to be dead in these parts and that no one had had the decency to erect a headstone. It' came as a surprise to find that a revival is due for the game in Richmond Hill this summer. A rugged group of gentlemen who love the game have gotten together and it is their intent to operate an intermediate team in the O.L.A. this year. The arena should get lots of rugged action this summer. Once again the ‘appeal goes out for a sponsor. These fellows have all the desire in the world and are going to try to operate, come you know what or high water, but help would be appreciated. If you would like to own your own lacrosse team just let yours truly know and we will see that you are put in touch with the interested parties. Let us hope that box lacrosse comes back really strong in Richmond Hill. Ron McAndrews, new manager of the senior ladies softball team is urgently in need of players. This is a completely new organization this year with a new man- ager and a new coach and also including a shiny new sponsor. Steve Appleby, owner of Richmond Hill TV and Camera, is the new sponsor and he is very desirous of fielding the best team possible. If any of last year’s team are interested in playing this year or if any new players are interested, please phone Ron McAndrews at TU. 4-4121. Hurry, girls, the season will open in about seven weeks, believe it or not. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" The NHL. playoffs are in full swing and as of this date. it looks like anybody’s Stanley Cup. Detroit are battling the Leafs every inch of the way and Chicago is not exactly rolling over and playing dead for the Cana- diens. This should produce some truly great hockey and the final series should be tremendous no matter which teams are involved. ' Just in case you haven’t thought of it yet, how ab- out planning your float for the Sports Parade on June 8? If you intend to enter a float won’t you please let Doc Cowan know as soon as possible so that plans can be finalized. Let’s all get behind it and make this year’s parade a really memorable one. -- SPORT SPOTS - This winter already seems to be about 11 months and 16 days long. Could be it’s only because we’re get- ting older that it seems this way but, so help me, even the kids are moaning a wee bit about old man winter. If anyone tells you that we don’t get the old-fashioned winters any more you’ll know that this year they were in Florida from November till April for sure. -â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" The new high school at Bayview and Markham Road is already under way with shovels and other ma- chinery tearing holes in the land. When this school is completed and open in September it should usher in a new era of sport for Richmond Hill. There are 15 acres of ground connected with the school so that a really good sports field should be forthcoming, something that the older schoo1 lacks. There should be some keen com- petition between the new school, Thornhill and Rich- mond Hill High School. There might even be room for a running track. «- SPORT SPOTS 1» REGAL AUTO BODY Treat you":- car to a NEW SPRING COAT of paint. You’ll be amazed with the results.

On Tues- day, Allencourts got a one game edge on Craigie‘s in the best of three finals. In the first period Allencourts complet- ely outclassed Craigies by scoring 3 quick goals in succession by Jim Wells, Matt Kinnari and We“s again within 20 seconds.

Grade 10 was won by Steve Plummet closely followed by Reg Pembleton. The grade 11 cham- pionship was won by Richard Lautamus with Paul Sampson and Dennis Cooper finishing in a dead heat for the second spot. Roger IIobson was the grade 12 winner with Brian Atkinson tak- ing second place. Ray Matsunaga won the grade 13 event with Mike Bain winning second place honours. The boys intramural gymnastic meet was concluded last week and the Green team came out as meet champions‘by scoring 1863/3 points. The Blue team finished in second place with 1511/2 points. The Green win was ach- ieved by having competitors en- tered from every grade 9 through to 13 and piled up points not only for winning efforts but also due to participation. The floor hockey finals were wound up last week with the Red team winning the senior di- vision by shutting out Blue 3-0. The feature of the game was the outstanding goal tending of Serge McLelland, a grade 9 stu. dent, in the Red goal. Serge has been playing steady goal all through the season and really worked to earn the shut-out in Littles Fords 5 Bayview Plaza 5 In this game Duane “Tex” Pat- field won the scoring champion- ship of the Minor League by scoring three goals to boost his production for the season to 16 goals. Fred Kyle and Jim Fen- wick scored the other two Bay- view goals. Littles' goals were scored by Wayne Jackson, who hit for two as did Bill Meraska. Ted Ross had been tied with Pat- field at 13 goals apiece prior to the start of this game but Ted scored only once to Pattield’s three times. Ted had 14 goals ov- er the season.

The local club had about 75% of the play in all three periods but couldn’t get the puck past Miller in the Christies net? All in all Christies only had about six shots on the Hill goal the entire game and these were turned aside by Donnie Laurie. It was a close hard 'checking game with the lighter Christies team check- ing both fore and aft to harass the speedy forwards on the Rich- mond Hill Club. However Paul Reynolds slipped one by Miller to get the only score of the game and a win for the locals, in this T. H. L. fixture. Camp Borden Flyers z Richmond Hill 2 Camp Borden Flyers a suppos- edly weak team in the North York playoffs came up with a fine effort to hold the Richmond fought tie last Friday night at Camp Borden. This was the first game of a mo game total goals semi final in the North York league and it was a siuler from start to finish. Dean Wainwright, speedy right winger put the Hill club ahead at 11 minute mark of the first period on a nice pass by Dennis Richardson. At the 14 minute mark Jennings of the Air Force Team popped one in past the Hill goalie to even it up. Then Ritc_hie_ Elliott playing on a line with Jim Briden and Sandy Keith put the Blueliners ahead again. Jennings scored a- gain during the third period to even it up again and that ended the scoring for the game. The Blueliners' were plagued by pen- alties during the last period of play and were short handed most of the last period and only some outstanding goal tending by Don Laurie in the Richmond 13111 nets prevented a loss to the local club.

Jeff Jones was credited with the goal. Jim Wells‘and Frank Mash- inter added two more goals for Allencourts to make the score 6-1 at the end of the second period. In the final period Allencourts played strictly defensive hockey, but Craigies had enough oppor- tunities to rap in 3 goals.

The action is fast and furious and highly entertaining. The Pee Wee age Hornets play- ed the bigger and' older Little N. H. L. team and proceeded to walk off with the marbles as they defeated the Bruins 6-1. The de- fence the Hornets put up was sensational as time after time they broke up threatening Bruin rushes. Bill McVean in the Hor- net net was very steady through- out although he did not have too much work to do. Terry Stewart scored two goals for the Hornets while singletons were scored by Doug Acomb, Scott Sheppard, Gary Charity and Phil Dobbs. At the moment hope for an, entry into the team will probabl'y round out the seaâ€" son with exhibition games.
