Crowds at Richmond Hill improved over last year but still there was always plenty of room for more spectators. The club executive are already busily formulating plans for next season and have indications that some very good lacrosse players are desirous of toiling for the Richmond Hill team. It costs a fair amount of money to operate a. lacrosse team and attract the better type of player. This year the club was fortunate in having players like Ken Lotton. He drove to every game -â€" to Hunts- ville, AIliston, Fergus, Owen Sound -â€" and never ask- ed for a cent of gas money. It just doesn’t seem fair that he should not receive proper recompense but the money just was not available. Wherever they played, except in Richmond Hill, they drew large crowds. Other Ontario lacrosse cen- tres appreciated the type of lacrosse the Zeros played which tends to bear out the theory that a prophet is without honour in his own country. Huntsville ap- proached the Zeros about playing an exhibition series there because they were outdrawing all the other teams that visited Huntsville. The Brooklin senior team has also approached them about playing an ex- hibition home and home series which also proves that they are well thought of as a lacrosse drawing card. Next season, Richmond Hill citizens will maybe have a chance to have a championship lacrosse team and become sporting tycoons as well. A plan that is being seriously considered is to sell debentures in the club and get off on a sound financial footing. The ice plant in the arena was financed in just this man- ner and this year the last of the debentures should be redeemed. Debenture holders in the arena have got their money back with interest )and have had the satisfaction of seeing it become a real asset to Rich~ mond Hill. Mr. Marsh Amos is a gentleman who has put a great effort into seeing that the team finished the year in the black. They did finish in the black but, with the limited finances available at the start of the season, it was a real work of art. Marsh knew exactly where every penny went and, as a trained ac- countant and methods man, he produced a set of financial statements that are a work of art and crys- tal clear, even to the layman. -â€" SPORT SPOTS ~â€" For a team that had just about one half hour to decide whether to operate or not this year, the Rich- mond Hill Zeros have not had too bad a lacrosse sea- son. They did make the playoffs and, while they were eliminated by Alliston in four straight games, did not make all that bad a showing. Could be that when the debentures go on sale you’ll have your chance to become part owner of a lacrosse team. Sometimes these small beginnings can mushroom into a really big operation. At one time the Argonaut Rowing Club had a football team. To- day the football team could buy the rowing club and never miss the money. As a debenture holder you’ll have the satisfaction of being part owner of a team and also know that your money is helping to keep our national game alive in Richmond Hill. If and when debentures go on sale they will be priced low enough to be attractive to everyone and should prove a good investment. Maybe we can all be Connie Smythes on a sort of junior scale.

Donald, who at 40 passes for a you hful 30, was in the limelight on September 8 when he sold a bay colt'to I. R. Rosenthal of Toronto for $15,500. The transaction took place during the yearling sales of the Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society in the horse palace of the Canadian National Exhibition. It was a fine piece of business, he admits, his best to date in 12 years of breeding, but points out that the $15,500 isn’t all ‘hay’. Included among running expenses this year is the stud fee bill, which already totals $5,400. “Then there are other expenses including a pretty heavy vet- erinary outlay,” he said, but adding with a grin: “I’d be the last to deny that a $15,500 sale makes up for a lot of headaches.” Allencourt Major League . . .
