14 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hm, Ontario, Thursdaytlgprfi 28, 1966 Wimbridge Cleaners held their first softball work- out of the season at the ball park last Sunday. Local druggists should have experienced a real boom in the lini- ment department the past few days. In addition to the Wimbridge hopefuls several Dynes players took advant- age of the early practice with Stan Ransom, Bill Jackson and Jack Dunn being very noticeable. Sports Day Parade date edges closer and closer with June 8 being set for the big doings. This year we hope to have a Sports Day Queen to reign over all festivities. Mrs. Gibson. proprietress of the Gibson Girl shop in the Allencourt Plaza is waiting to hear from all entrants, 15 years and older. Come on girls and hand in your name â€" you could be our Sports Queen and we’d hate to have you miss out. Drop in and see Mrs. Gibson real soon, she’d like to see you. Ron McAndrews, mentor of the ladies’ senior soft- ball team, would like to announce that practices will be held every Wednesday night atfthe ball park until the season opens. Practice time is set for 7.30 pm. and all girls and young ladies desirous of playing softball in Richmond Hill on a new deal basis are urged to attend these practices. Modern methods of travel that enable families to go great distances on weekâ€"ends and the upsurge of soft- ball as a spectator sport are some of the reasons put for- ward for the death of lacrosse. Maybe it isn’t dead â€" only sleeping and we may be fortunate enough to be present at the local awakening this summer. Our neighboring town'of Markham had a team that won a championship in New York City in 1900 and were described as world champions. One of the members of that famous team was the well known sportsman. Char- lie Querrie. It would be a good deal if we could emulate our good neighbour to the east and at least manage to field a team. During the next ten years teams from this country were touring the British Isles demonstrating this purely Canadian game. On one occasion two teams played an exhibition game before Queen Victoria and the queen presented a photograph, which she autographed, to each of the players. What a comedown in one hundred years. From command performances before royalty to an al- most forgotten sport. In recent weeks there has been some discussion of a lacrosse revival in Richmond Hill this summer. The big difficulty at the moment seems to be to locate a sponsor who will be interested in taking on a lacrosse team and taking care of expenses. Lacrosse could prove to be a big drawing, card in Richmond Hill and it is to be heped that the tentatively formed plans do not go too far astray for want of sponsor support. Lacrosse is our national game and that by an act of parliament. In 1861 a lacrosse association was form- ed and every town of any account had a. lacrosse team. By 1867 the game had taken such a fierce hold that an act of parliament proclaimed lacrosse as our official national game. t SPORT SPOTS c For some time now I have been advertising that there is no high pressure selling, no gimmicks and every car, new or used, is honestly represented at North Town Automobile; Customers who have given "us a fair trial have found that we in every way live up to these statements to the best of our ability. It has paid off so gratifyingly that we are now selling be- tween 5 and 10 new cars a week. This brings into stock the same number of used cars it usually takes 2 to 3 used car sales to clear completely on one new. We are a small dealer with limited space, consequently we have to move these cars fast. This is normally done by a small dealer by sending surplus cars to the dealer auction. This I want to do only with used cars that are not so good or bad. Ifyou the public will continue to call in to see us and if you find a car that will suit you, make us a reasonable offer. I can pass these sav- ings on to you. I can prove this in only one way and that is by you folks giving us a chance. BILL WEBB 5435 YONGE ST. BA. 5 - 7701 I WILI. 'I'AKE $1995.

DATED at Toronto, this 19th day of April. 1960. . T0 CREDITORS AND OTHERS For a hockey team that was not form-ed until after the New Year, the Putters have a remarkably good record. They took part in 27 games and won 16 while los- ing 11.7” The parents of the play- ers rebny gave the tean1 great support throughout the season, both as rooters and chauffeurs and general handymen and wo- men Earl Methe thanks one and all for their whole hearted sup- port. Food was provided by the good ladies of Brampton for the play- ers, coaches and managers in the Junior Farmers Hall. 'The food was wonderful and all those pre- sent at the tournament are deep- ly grateful to the ladies concern- ed. The players were provided with between game entertain- ment and everything was done to ensure the kids had a good time, Movies were daily fare but the real thrill came at 5.15 pm. ev- ery day when transportation was arranged to Malton airport and a flight around Metro was laid on for the young hockey players in a T.C.A. aircraft. Bob Ernst, di- rector of the tournament is a T.C.A. pilot and had a lot to do with these most popular tours. The Putters first series was against Simcoe and the local lads had no trouble as they won the two game goals to. count ser- ies by a 13-1 score. Their second opponents were the Riverside team from Windsor who gave the Putters a real tussle before losing to the Putters 5-4 on the round. Newmarket Squirts finally ad- ministered the coup de grace to the local team as they won 4-3 on the round. The Putters had won the first game 2-1 but tired badly in the second game and were unable to stem the Newmarket tide. Earl Methe did not attempt to single out an; individual per- formers for his team as he felt that all players on his team per- formed like true champions. The host club from Brampton won the B series title but lost out in the overall championship to a T. H. L. entry. The winners were presented with a beautiful trophy and each player received a small replica for a keepsake. The losing Brampton players were each presented with a shiny new baseball to ring out the old and on with the new. draw from actual competition. the Estate of Silas Bowman Baskerville.

NOTICE dyer Al Harley thanked one and all for their whole hearted support during this first difficult year and expressed the feeling that the Curling Club has definitely established a place in the life of Richmond Hill. He went on to remark that he can forsee a per- iod of growth for the Club in the very near future. On Saturday, April 23rd the closing ceremonies were held for senior members. A hockey game lasting for 15 minutes was play- ed with a team representing town members playing a team com- prising out of town members. At the end of a hilarious and hectic 15 minutes the teams were dead- locked at one goal each. Referee- ing chores were capably handled by those two hardy arbiters, Maiâ€" sie Gibson and “Honest Jim” Grainger. The pace slowed somewhat af- ter the hockey session and while some members indulged in some gaily in the lounge. The by-laws of the club were adopted and a sample of the club debentures was showed to the meeting. It is expected that debentures will be going out in the mails in the very near future. Election of ofiicers for the com- ing season was held and there were 16 nominations for the 12 executive positions. Successful candidates were Al Harley, Scott McCann, Jim Symington, Warren Davey, Bob Butler, Nick Hallman, Shaun Beggs, Harry Webb Al. Tutly Roy Currie John Wynn and Doug Smith. The three vice presidents, Bob Butler, Scott McCann and Jim Symington reported on their committees activities during the past season and promise greater things in the season to come. President Al. Harley addressed the meeting and re- minded those present that just one year ago the first ten- tative meeting was held in his home. At this first meeting plans were formulated for the formation of a curling club and for the erection of a modern curling rink. Just how fruitful thoserfirst plans were is evidenced by the fine rink and club rooms on the Elgin Mills sideroad, and by the highly successful season just concluded. At the present time there are 260 male members and 180 female members on the club rolls. a $500.00 gift from the Lions Club and an assistance grant from the Richmond Hill Recrea- tion Committee of $1000.000 leav- The financial statement was presented to the meeting and it was indicated that total income from all‘ sources was $5,998.28. There was an operating loss of $1074.48 which was made up by a $500.00 gift from the Lions Club and an assistance grant During the past season some 480 boys took part in hockey ac- tivity in Richmond Hill Arena. As well as organized hockey teams a hockey school was run for the moppet aged group and some fine young hockey players should result. Good Citizenship Secretary John Gropp outlined the basic purpose of the assoc- iation was not to develop pro- fessional hockey players but to teach young players how to work and play together and thus to learn the rules of good citizen- ship. This basic purpose was ad- hered to very closely during the season just ended. Finances The first annual Curling Club meeting was held in the luxurious lounge of the new curling rink on Wednesday, April 20. Great interest was evinced in the meeting as 135 members were in attendance. The annual meeting of the Richmond Hill Hockey Association was held in the Lions Hall in Richmond Hill on Sunday, April 24th. Despite the warm weather which seemed somewhat unseemly for a. discussion of hockey, about forty really interested people were on hand to take part in the meeting. There were only about 50 en- tries received by the registrar of the R.H.B.A. when 5.00 pm. roll- ed around last Saturday. There is only one more day open for registration - next Saturday at the Scout Hall next to the arena from 10.00 am. until 5.90 pm. Be sure to get down to the park and get that registration in if you want to play ball this_ year. Will you parents make sure that entry forms are properly filled in and that your son or daughter gets them handed in next Saturday. Remember the time 1000 am. - 5 pm. and the place - Scout Hall next to the arena in the Town Park. Let's get those forms in, shall we? Retiring presiaent, Wick Mills, thanked all members of the executive and all coaches and other members for the fine hockey season just concluded. The organization undertook a pioneering venture and turned it into an em- 1nent1y successful operatlon.
