YOIIUME'IJXXXIITNUMBERQE This season the team will be piloted by Mr. Rus- sell “Casey” Cripps, the “enfani: terrible” of the local softball scene. The dynamic and, at times, vociferous Mr. Cripps is well worth watching at any time. As he ambles across the diamond in his own inimitable fashion. spectators hold their breath wondering where the next explosion is due to break out. They’re not, disappointed too often! 2 7312!, n 7.41 " 7/ RON CRAINI Saturday. May 19th, in this year of Our Lord, 1.962 will usher in the one hundred and thirteenth Richmond Hill Agricultural Fair. An awful 'lot of water has gone over the dam since the first fair which, if our mathematics are correct, came in 1849. This is one show that has really had an extended run and the record of Gone With the Wind pales by com- parison. Many sporting attractions have been featured at the fair over the many years that it has operated. Horse races, foot races. horseshoe pitching and other forms of athletic endeavour have all played their part in the program. As a finale to the fair this year there will be a softball game between Ken Ostrander’s Jewellers of Toronto and Dynes Jewellers of Rich- mond Hill. Ken Ostrander's Jewellers operate in the Davis- ville Major Fastball League and were successful in winning the league championship in 1961. One of the players featured on the Ostrander team is pitcher Jack Rainbow. To a host of softball fans in this part of the province the name belongs to one of the most colourful pitchers in the game in many a year. And the word “colourful” is not intended as a weak pun on the Rainbow name! The green and white clad team, sponsored by Vern Dynes. are no strangers to the sporting frater- nity (and sorority) of Richmond Hill and district. The Jewellers have entertained thousands of local fans over the course of a goodly number of years and have usually managed to produce a softball game packed with spectator interest. As a finale to the fair proceedings, this game should be a natural. If one game is loved more than any other in the Town of Richmond Hill, then that game has just got to be softball. From the oldest to the youngest citizens in town there are those who never miss a softball game and this is a great way to open a new season. As of the time of this writing the Jewellers are just in the process of firming up their team. Three pitchers could be chosen to oppose the Ostrander mound staff. Bill Jackson, the old reliable of the Jew- ellers, with his hairline control. wicked upshoot and vicious crossfire could get the nod. Or maybe Norm Roberts. the pitcher with more cute tricks than Mar- ilyn Munroe. and a heart as big as Lassie’s, will be on duty. or then again it could be Bob “Zip” Attwell, the rugged pitcher with the smoking fastball.

As the sanitary facilities had not been approved, the township refused to issue the building permits necessary for the reno- vation of the seating accommo- dations. The necessary permits were finally granted and work on the track has 'been going ahead as rapidly as possible. In about a week some 2,500 new seats were erected. "‘In Essentials Unity; in Non-Essentials Liberty: in all things Charity” As a result council decided to allow the track to operate. How- ever the license is being gran- ted on the condition that no part of the old seating accom- modation will be used and that it be removed prior to the first race meet. and that the opera- tor guarantee that the sanitary facilities will be completed and in use not later than July 1. If these conditions are not met. the operator will have to forfeit his license. 1962/63. The leadership of the award winning Jaycees will be in the hands of President Peter Pfenning.

Two big meets are on the books, the Quebec relays on May 12th and the Eckhard-t Meet scheduled for May 17th. Since the Easter holidays ended the emphasis has been solely on all track and field events. Richmond Hill hooked up with Aurora last Friday in a dual track meet. The spelling should have been duel as Aurora were surprisingly strong and the Hill team came through with a slim 3 point win. The 220 yard event was swept by Richmond Hill in all three age groupings. Ted Eastman won the junior event in a time of 27 seconds, Ian Ross won the intermediate event in 27 sec- onds. as Dennis Cooper romped home with a 25 second time in the senior division.
