VOLUMEivLXXXII, NUMBER 16 In order to hold the final series in Richmond Hill, the 0.A.S.A. sanctioned the Sudbury trip to the Hill for a $250.00 guarantee to be paid by the Allencourt club. The $250.00 was duly paid. If it turns out that Sudbury has violated O.A.S.A. rules and used ineligible players, what happens to the 250 iron men the local ball club had to fork over? Will they be reimbursed and, if they are, where is the money to come from? From the Sudbury team it- self or from the O.A.S.A. who are supposed to check on the eligibility of every player in the province? It would almost seem that the O.A.S.A. itself would have a moral, if not a legal responsibility to see that the Allencourt team gets its money back. am The Oxford dictionary gives one definition of a paradox as a phenomenon that exhibits some conflict with preconceived notions of what is reasonable or possible. The balmy October weather we had last week produced a paradox if there ever was one. During the Allencourtâ€"Sudbury championship softball game on Thanksgiving Day, softball fans were basking in “shirtâ€"sleeve” weather while sitting in the stands. Out on the tennis courts, short-clad tennis players were hard at it as soccer players perspired heavily on the soccer field. July in October if you ever â€"â€" SPORT SPOTS â€"- Friends of Mr. Douglas McLean will be glad to know that he is back at the 01d stand, as hale and hearty as ever. During his absence Stan Ransom and Russ Cripps took over his duties and kept the ball park looking spruce and sharp. This is a serious allegation and was not advanced as a whim. If the protest stands up, the Sudbury club will be put into a serious position as far as O.A.S.A. membership is concerned. If it should be proven that ineligible players were used then the entire final series was a farce that should never have been allowedrto happen. no» u iv. The paradox? A couple of kids with skates slung over their shoulders, and they weren’t using them for tie clips! They’d been skating in the arena and, when they’d had enough ice time for one day, came out and watched the softball game. If softball. tennis and soccer, along with ice skating and July type weather isn’t a paradox, then what is? But that’s two for one and their combined ages don’t total up to Dougie’s tender years. The two substitutes have gained a greater respect for Mr. McLean’s efforts than they had before and that’s Just as soon as the Sudbury Mine-Mill-Allencourt Lanes series was at an end, the Allencourt manage- ment lost no time in sending ofl‘ a protest to the exâ€" ecutive of the O.A.S.A. They allege that Sudbury fielded three players who, by the rules of the O.A.S.A. were ineligible to compete in playdowns. saw it. Under the rules of eligibility set forth in the rule book of the Ontario Amateur Softball Associa- tion. a player must reside in Canada from March 15 of the year in which he plays. It is the Allencourt contention that at least three members of the Sud- bury team are ineligible on this residence rule. They can make out a very good case in support of their contention. saying a lot. Another rule of O.A.S.A. play is that players may not take part in tournaments not recognized or sanc- tioned by the O.A.S.A. and still remain eligible. The same three players. it is alleged, broke this rule by playing in the World Softball Championships at Clear- water. Florida, in June of this year. If this allegation is proved, and again the case oresented is a good one, these three players are ineligible on two counts. It would seem at this juncture that Russ Cripps has a real case on which to base the protest. If things are proven as per the charges then it’s about time that the O.A.S.A. executive took drastic action to live up to the letter of intent written into their own officially sanctioned rule book. Mr. Cripps has received a lot of advice about not stirring up trouble in the O.A.S.A. ranks and how about letting sleeping dogs lie. Why the heck should he? If the Allencourt charges should be borne out through an investigation of the facts then maybe the O.A.S.A. should make haste to set their house in order. And in a hurry! The whole thing may turn out to be a tempest in a teapot. Russ Cripps has been known as an um- pire~baiter for a long, long time. This time he seems to have an ironclad case going for him and it will be a rough deal if the case gets knocked on the head by a technicality. Russ has lost appeals in committee rooms before and has always been man enough to take his licking and come back for more. Maybe this time he’ll Win for a change. If everything turns out to be 100% kosher then the 0.A.S.A. has nothing to fear and Allencourt loses the $25.00 bond that has to be posted with the pro- test. No well-run organization should have a qualm about an investigation at any time. Richmond Hill now has a fully qualified recrea- tional director. In order to qualify for a recreational director’s certificate 3. candidate must pass a three- year course (via correspondence) from the University of Western Ontario. Last year it was decided to give university grads an opportunity to complete the course in one year. Mrs. Jean Thomson was one of four people who took the course and, by dint of real cramming was a successful candidate. The good lady managed to write 22 papers on various subjects, all done in what little spare time she has available to her. We’d like to offer her a large bouquet on the completion of the course and, as we said, we now have a fully qualified director. And merely from a point of civic pride it’s well worth noting.

Next: HOW TO KEEP SCORE Reason for the leather sole is that you must be able to slide smoothly as you deliver the ball. The rubber, on the other sole, gives you traction as you step off, and acts as a brake at the end of the slide.
