10 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, April 6. 1961 Mr. Jack Mason. proprietor of the sponsoring com- nany. had honed that this bowling championship would take hold and be a success. Never in his fondest hopes did he think that it would turn into an affair of the size to which it has grown or attract such national interest. Richmond Hill has long been the rose centre of the coun- tr.v â€" now we have two claims to national fame. as the site of the first bantam bowling championships ever held in Canada. The hope of all concerned is that the championships will continue to mow from year to year with sectional and provincial nlavdowns to decide finalists. The big‘ final event will be held everv year in Richmond Hill. It's quite an undertaking so whv not plan to drop in and see the kiddies? YOu’ll find it enjoyable and be helping out a venture that will publicize our town right across the country. ' Two trophies are to be awarded. one to the winning virls team and one to the winners in the boys section. These trophies are really something to behold. They stand about three feet tall and are genuine works of lrt. The winning team will retain possession of the trophy for one year and then it will be put up again for competition. Every bowler will receive crests and other memen- toes of the big bowling chamoionship. Entries are pour- ing in and the latest one received was a two team entry from Llovdminster, Alberta. The Alberta entrv will be coming into Malton via TCA where they will be met and driven to Richmond Hill by volunteer drivers. This will be one of the biggest days of their young lives! Mr. John Gropp and his neewee hockey Hornets are making the hockey world sit up and take notice both locally and in other Ontario towns. Last week they elim- inated Whitby from the, O.M.H.A. Playdowns in a bit- terly contested series. To the lasting credit of the Hor- nets and to John Gropp, the Hornets fought back from the short end of the score no less than five times in the final game. Just how a coach is able to instill this much fight and moxie into such young players beats us -â€" but it was done and the kids came on to win. The question before the house is “wha hoppen to the Leafs??” At the time this is being written the Smythemen have just dropped three in a row to Detroit and have not looked so inept in months. One theory has it that those who were comparatively hale and hearty wore themselves out trying to hold the fort and the skating legs just more or less gave out. It could prove to have a lot of truth in it. â€" qPORT SPOTS â€" Dont forget to take in the action at the first Annual Mason Trophy Bantam Bowlinq Championships this coming Saturday at Allencourt Lanes. The first ball will roll at 8 am. and the tournament should wind up around 8 hells in the evening. Now they advance into the Ontario Peewee Cham- pionships against Wallacebure. By displaying the same spirit and gentlemanly attitude that they have displayed throughout the season, the Hornets can do nothing but be terrific ambassadors for the town of Richmond Hill. Whether they win or (perish the thought) lose the final series the kids have shown that nice guys can he win- ners and they should also know that we are all very, very proud of them and the way they play the game. â€" SPORT SPOTS -â€" This year the Richmond Hill Ball Association will once again be publishing a schedule booklet. The vol- unteers who work to provide baseball activity for the younger set throughout the summer. will be around town selling advertising in their publication. If they should solicit an ad from you, give them a good listen â€"- the monies realized go to ensure that kids are provid- ed with a healthful. guided recreation â€" and chances are that one young ball player will be a child you know real well. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" If there are any kookier set of fans in N.H.L. hock- e.v than those in Detroit we’d love to see them. Where else but at Olympia could an octopus end up on the ice? Of course any self-respecting hockey fan always â€" but always - goes to a game complete with octopus. In Montreal they throw rubbers. in Chicago firecrackers and staid Bostonians have been known to heave pennies on the ice. The Leafs must have the most restrained fans in the whole hectic business or maybe they just can’t afford to throw anythingr away. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" The softball season has not yet begun and already there has been one casualty. Mickey Smith. president of the Richmond Hill Ball Association is snorting a broken right collar bone. At one of Dynes J eWellers indoor prac- tices, Mickey, in his capacity of Jeweller coach, was sit- timr in a chair watching the work-out. He was skulled with a. ball in the side of the head, fell from the chair and landed on the point of his shoulder. Away went the collar bone and Mickey became the first casualty of the year. Some days it just doesn’t pay to even consider getting out of bed! -â€" SPORT SPOTS â€"â€" Sometimes when you work in sports with children, you get a, bit browned off and think that maybe you could do a lot better things with your time. It doesn’t matter if it’s hockey, soccer, softball or anything else, you wonder if it’s all worth while or even appreciated. Just when things are at their lowest ebb and you’re on the verge of giving up. along comes a youngster who convinces you that it is all worthwhile. He (or she) is usually a shy, introverted youngster who just can’t seem to mix with anyone. They have no pals and are obviously destined to go through life as lone wolves. Suddenly they develop a talent for the game they wanted to play and as the season progresses skills improve until they are better than most. It is then that you notice a startling change in personality. He bloss- oms out with more confidence, speaks up for himself, comes to games with the other guys, and is one of the guys. School marks may pick up and a solemn child de- velops a big grin. Then you’re sure that it really is all worthwhile. typewriters - Adding Machines SALES - SERVICE - RENTALS ‘your office machine apeoialist’ 88 Baker Ave..

Picking “There’s nothing like a dame," declared Rogers and Hammerstein in their famous musical, “South Pacific". And, if that celebrated couple had been at the broom- ball game played between Rich- mond Hill Town Council and Vaughan Township Council last week and had seen “Mrs.” Jim McDonald they would have agreed that there was nothing like that particular dame, anyway. The underwater Club of Can- ada welcomed the boys of the 4th Richmond Hill Scout Troop to their meeting on March 16th. at the Lakeshore Swimming Pool, Mimico. The scouts quickly and enthusiastically took to scuba div- ing and under the expert guid- ance of the club instructors. Mr. C.

Mr. Mc- Eighty per cent of the McDon- ald curvesâ€"of which there were plenty, plus cornersâ€"were in the wrong place, said A1 White. Not so,.said Broadhurst. His estimate was 85 per cent. Professional jealousy was evident. The early hours of the morn- ing spawned a slogan for Broom- baller McDonald, to be used if ever he decides to make use of his obvious charm and go out on the prowl. This recorder is guilty. He can only plead insomnia, brought on by six cups of coffee shared with Council broomballers while _ their shattered nerves calmed down. The slbgan for Mc- Donald? “Call me sugar, I come from Maple." Other Ladies Played “Mrs.” McDonald. in ex-broom- ball. life, is Clerk-Treasurer James McDonald of Vaughan Township. He was disguised for the occasion in feminine clothing. complete with “shorty” fur jacket. With one exception he made a good- looking femme. That exception was commented on by Richmond Hill’s “experts” on the subject of female pulchritude, Councillors A1 White and Tom Broadhurst. Wrong Curves Beside pseudo-lady McDonald, a couple of the real articles show- ed their familiarity with brooms as Richmond Hill licked Vaughan by four to one. Playing for Rich- mond Hill, Councillor Mrs. Marg- aret Southwell conducted herself Fourth Richmond Hill Troon Scouts with Underwater Club way, by having “two eyes open of Canada instructor Keith ed" - receiving his Second Star Beetles and Scouter Wm. McCord. R..ymond Matthews _and firicfiig Cord promised to bring back the honour patrol (the patrol earning the most points in scouting during the next two months) in May. Guys 8: Gals Of Councils Clash In Broomball Tilt . Who wouldn’t take a bash with a broom to secure the services of a couple of nurses such as those pictured above? Richmond Hill’s Councillor A1. White lies on the ice at the arena, while Counâ€" cillor Mrs. McConkey, left, of Vaughan Township Council and Councillor Mrs. Southwell of Richmond Hill, sink their athletic differences to render sympa- thetic aid to the victim. Suggestions by Councillor Mrs. McConkey. com- plete with gun and holster, dis- played a remarkable brand of broomball. Apparently ~fed up with wielding a broom, on one occasion she seized the ball, raced to the opponents’ goal and sat therein while making claims for a score. Forgetting chivalry, if they ever had any. male players recognized “equal rights" by treating the girls with impartial- ity. The ladies responded in like vein. (Phat, however, seemed Jittle reason for one Amazon whacking a male councillor across the ab- domen (to put it politely) on every possible occasion. The “whoosh” of expelled breath could be heard clean across the arena. There were also questions as to why Councillor Mrs. South- well persisted in throwing her broom at the ball without being given penalties. A Night For The Ws . valiantly. On Vaughan‘s behalf It was definitely an evening for the W5 on the Richmond Hill Team. The four Hill goals were credited to Whillans, Whalen, White and Watson. The last scor- er, was Don Watson, loaned to bolster_the Richmond Hill Team by CJRH. Reputed to be a highly- paid professional broomballer in Western Canada in his youth, making up to thirty cents a game, Watson displayed abysmal ignor- ance of the finer points, being seen on several occasions kicking the ball and on others handling it. Sent to the penalty box oc- casionally, he disclaimed any knowledge of why, sitting mut- tering under his breath “This is Don Watson reporting." The lone Vaughan marker was scored by “Mrs.” Jim McDonald, the sugar baby from Maple. Mayor, Reeves, Absent Skullduggery was evident 1n the fact that a special York Coun- ty Council meeting, which could There will be some pretty stiff competition between the patrols during the coming months, to see who will receive the privil- ege.

Miller. The "Grand Howl" by the members brought this meeting to a close. Due to Easter, there will be no regul- ar meeting of the Pack until Monday, April 10th. NEWS onlookers that Mrs. McConkey who is seen pictured toting a gun, should shoot the casualty to put him, out of his mis- ery were ignored. The occurrence took place at the recent broomball game be- tween Vaughan and Richmond Hill councils, with the latter winding up on the top end of a four to one score. â€"â€" Photo by Lagerquist just as well have been held on any other evening, was called for the same time as the broomball game by County Clerk J. _‘ L. Smith. The fact that Mr. Smith is wearing a new hat is said by those who missed the game â€" Reeve Floyd Perkins of Richmond Hill, Reeve Ab. Rutherford of Vaughan, Deputy-reeve John Bradstock of Richmond Hill and Deputy-reeve Jesse Bryson of Vaughan, to be purely coinciden- tal. Mayor James Haggart of .Richmond Hill was,also missing, the old, old story of “reasons of health and pressure of private business’ being advanced. Vaughan Township team ap- peared, with the exception of the misplaced McDonald curves, to be in better shape. due to less night-clubbing than their metro- politan counterparts from the Hill. Its members were Council- lors Wilf Keffer, M. Windatt and Mrs. McConkey. Township Clerk J. M. McDonald, Ted Jackman anfl Bob Saunders of Vaughan‘s office staff. Playing and puffing for Rich- mond Hill were Councillors Tom Broadhurst, Howard Whillans, Margaret Southwell and A1 White. Town Clerk "Curley" Lynett also made weak passes at the ball if it happened to come anywhere near him and: he could remain standing. Works l Commissioner Otto Whalen was a tower of strength on the occasions when he could remember which goal was which. Vaughan In Better Shape Min and Mrs. D.
