r VELUME LXXXII,’ NUMBER 1L- It turned into something of a rout as the Emer- alds scored 13 runs in their half of the inning and then retired the Diamonds in order. Some girls cheer- ed while others cried, but this year’s championship Was won by the Emeralds. Mr. Lloyd “Mickey” smith, president of the R.H.B.A. presented the win- ners with their championship crests and the season formally ended. , , __ L wvy u mug u“... reement, the game was to be called at 8.15 pm. to let the intermediate game get underway. The best-laid plans of mice and men, etc., usually are upset one way or another. This time the two teams were tied 29-29 as the last inning ended at 8.12 1).. Russ Cripps and Bob Stackhouse, respective coaches of Allencourt and Newmarket, were asked if they were willing to delay the start of their league playâ€"off game. Both men graciously gave their consent and the game was on again and into extra innings. Within a few short years Richmond Hill should have a real pool of girl softball talent. Some of these girls show great promise and should do really well in competition in higher categories of softball. An- other three years and Richmond Hill should be re- nowned as a ladies’ softball centre. At the present time the town of Richmond Hill has three teams shooting for Ontario championships in their respective sports.

Many of them had come to watch the championship game between the Emeralds and the Diamonds and others had come to see the later game between Newmarket and Allencourt Lanes. Before too long everyone was interested in the girls’ game. The kids themselves were so determined and so enthusiastic that you couldn’t help but get a charge out of watching them‘. By no stretch of the imagination could the game ever be called a pitchers' duel. Hits were raining into the outfield like hail and fielders dashed madly around in pursuit of the elusive ball. Both benches kept up an intense barrage of encouragement for their own players and were not too lady-like to take the odd crack at the opp0sing team. All in all it was highly entertaining.

Allencourt Lanes are into the semi-final round of the O.A.S.A. playdowns ag- ainst Brockville with the winner of the series going into the championship finals against the northern Ontario zone winners. Last, but far from least, are the lacrosse Zeros as they are playing a four out of seven series with Fergus for the intermediate “B” lacrosse champion- ship of Ontario. All these good teams are giving everything they’ve got in a bid for a title. Maybe they’ll all win the goals they’re striving for but, even if they didn’t win all the marbles, at least the opposition will know they’ve been in a game. More than that we can’t ask and all we can do in the meantime is wish all three teams the very best of luck in their endeavours. Some five years ago the softball career of a Rich- mond Hill resident came to a sudden end. A game catcher and a real competitor, Del Madeley was catch- ing for the old Mainprize Drug team which operated in the now defunct Richmond Hill and District Inter- mediate League. memaw League' . .

The as Thommu fights to retain the same injury also cut short a very promising football trophy. career. Bayview High n_Ln_1.1 u.-- lnhmm-I Always interested in sports of any type, Del took over serious coaching of the Richmond Hill Indians football team. Softball’s loss proved to be football’s gain. Under the guidance of Mr. Madeley the Indians football fortunes have been on a steady upswing. From a very scramny start. Del has brought the Indians along to the point where they are a real threat to the rest of the league. Every year since he took a full time interest in the team, players have been com- ing to wear the Indian livery and stayed to play under his guidance. Football is now almost a year-round occupation for De]. As soon as the last whistle has sounded in the fall he begins to plot and plan for next year and, by the spring, has a book crammed with new ideas and plays. His dedication to the game is starting to pay big dividends. Last year the team were runnersâ€"up to the league champions. This year they already own one win over the champs and look capable of making it two victories. If ever a team looked like a winner this is the one and it’s not all on paper either. If you like to watch good football, and a lot of people do, turn out some Saturday afternoon and see the Indians in action. You’ll see a mild mannered man, who seldom if ever raises his voice, directing operations from the sidelines. His method is solid proof that a football coach doesn’t have to be a loud- mouthed tyrant to get results. l\Iembers of the Indian team have a team spirit that would be awfully hard to duplicate. A? lcasc ninety per cent of that team spirit is due to Del Made- ley, and that is probably a. conservative estimate.
