Roma won the game but several Uxbridge players took exception to the referee's calls. As a result fights broke out but were quickly stopped. Uxbridge had already had a warning from the league about bad conduct and had been for- ced to pay a $25.00 behaviour Mic Macs Lose Playoff Opener "-3 To Barrie Up until the fourth inning hhe Mic Macs were leading Barrie by a 2â€"0 score only to fall apart under Barrie pres- sure. Players began to commit errors while Heather Castle on the mound was affected by miscues of teammates and did not pitch up to her usual ef- fective form.

Etobicoke 1. I If you haven’t taken in some part of the sporting scene in Richmond Hill, then you're really missing something. There’s a game and a sport to please almost everyone. Let’s try and prove that we’ve learned something in the last twenty-five years. The people of that era didn’t support too much of any- thing and they didn’t have the excuse of watching a television. We've got television, so let’s show that we’re better than they were by getting out and sup- porting something. Even if it’s ping-pong. Ron McAndrews’ Mic Mac Juveniles lost the‘ opening game of the P.W.S.U. Juvenile “A”; Series to Barrie by an 11-3 score in Richmond Hill last Satur- day. For the Mic Macs this was the first serious juv- enile opposition that they have met this season. Sec- ond game of the two out of three game series will be played in Barrie. (Continued from page 6) There was a lot of good news for residents of the Village of Richmond Hill in 1938. The mill rate had come down from 54 mills to 45 mills in ten years. As of December 31st, 1936 the municipal debt was down to $5,500.00. So, you burdened taxpayers of today, things weren’t all black during the hungry thirties! A new Chev. could be bought for $819.00 and a Buick for $1,207.00. Butter was two pounds for 49c and oranges advertised at 19c a dozen. A lot of you will remember Kerr Bros. If anybody ever made better bread or cakes we’d like to find out who and where. Their Christmas cake, which, be- lieve me, was really something â€" sold for 35c a pound. A three room flat with light and heat sup- plied went for $14.00 a month. Some things are a lot different! Teenagers were castigated in letters to the editor as being too soft, being spectators instead of doers. What would things be like when they inherited the right to run things? What a mess would result! And two years later a lot of these maligned ’teenâ€" agers fought and won World War Deuce. They sure- ly were an irresponsible lot! A lot of the Same type of letters grace the pages of today’s newspapers and they're just as wrong. _ - “Ossie’ Stewart was the brilliant netminder for the team. A few short months later he was killed in a tragic accident just south of Richmond Hill. Many people will remember “Ossie” Stewart and many of the other Oiler players. A lot of them are still very active in community sporting activities but needless to say, in an officiating or executive capacity. Championship of the North Yonge Hockey Lea- gue was won by the BA. Oilers during the 1936-37 season. Councillor A1 White coached the team with Walter Young as the captain of the squad. “Bucky” Harris, Glen Miller, Jim Young, “Huck” Young, John Hart, Don Temple, Ritchie Sayers, Elmer Yakes, Bill Buchanan “Ren” Brown, “Ossie” Stewart and Jake Koning were all members of the club. Softball umpires came in for their share of ver- bal lumps just as they do today. Written reports of softball games often contain allusions to the fact that some Casey-like character had questioned (in a nice way of course), the mighty arbiter’s decisions. Par- don me, Cedric, but did you perchance call that last strike a ball?" “Yes I did, Marmaduke old fellow. Will you say hello to the rest of the chaps for me when you return to the bench ?” “I certainly will Cedric, you’re a real sporting chap and a fine umpire.” You can hear the same sort of gay repartee at any softball game today. So once again we reiterate that times really haven’t changed too much after all. It’s just that as we age our memories become fogged and fuzzy, we tend to remember things more as we’d have liked them to be than they wereinuactual‘ity.’ Just as good hockey, softball, football, tennis and bean bag is played today as the Dre-1940 brand. Teen- agers are still teenagers and as George Bernard Shaw put it e “Isn’t it a pity that youth is wasted on the .4 We frequently make comparisons between the athletes of today and those of yesteryear. With the telling and retelling of exploits those men and women of a bygone era acquire legendary skill and strength that they never possessed and never laid claim to having. Modern day athletes take somewhat of a beating when the comparisons are made. The truth is that they’re just as good and twenty-five years hence will be every bit as legendary as their predec- essors. young? In a wayit’s a nice reassuring thought that dras- tic changes don't take place in human nature and be- haviour patterns. We’ve probably had the same prob- lems basically and reacted to them in the same way since we left the cave. Comforting, isn’t it, the fact that we can pretty well predict human behaviourâ€" except Mr. Khrushchev’s.‘ an I,” bond to the league. As a result of a league disciplinary meet- ing last week it was decided that the bond was forfeit and that the Uxbridge team were to be .ejected from the league. As ‘Collingwood had already with-1 ‘drawn from the league there are only eight teams remaining. Standings in the league now re- flect both the Uxbridge and Col- linwood withdrawals. Revised team standings are as follows: balance by the strength of the Barrie team. They have been pretty well supreme in local softball circles and were not really tested by seniors opposition. If they can absorb the lesson learned from the first Bar- rle game they could go on to make their way further along the P.W.S.U. play- down road. It’s up to them. . . . . o o 47 51 70 42 35 14 18 Pts. 18 17 16 14 8 Two more errors by the Jew- 7 ellers and singles by Aurora's 6 Norm Stunden and Jim Patton 4added four more runs in the fourth inning.

Attwell was tagged for two singles allowing three more runs to score. At the end of the second inning Aurora had a 7-0 lead going in their favor. Aurora added another run in the third inning as Earl Mac- Donald singled and then was scored on a single by Shortstop Glen Bennett. Bill Bowen boun- ced to shortstop and the relay to second forced Bennett. The relay from second to first nip- ped Bowen for a double play and gave the Jeweller fans a lit- tle something to cheer about. Two Errors Don Gibson opened the sixth inning for Aurora by rapping out a sharp single. An error in the outfield moved Gibson to second. A single by MacDonald scored Gibson to tally the thir- teenth Aurora run. Ken Roberts singled in thei seventh inning for the Jewel- lers and was moved to third on a single by Cal Williams. Smith smashed out a single to score Roberts and Williams. Smith was out at second on an attemp- ted steal of third to end the Jeweller rally and their scor- ing for the night. Jewellers Commit l5 Errors Over the whole game the Jewâ€" ellers committed fifteen errors to one by Aurora. It was in the bottom of the seventh inning that four miscues and a single added three more Aurora runs. On one play three errors allow- ed Gibson to score on a play that was nothing but a routine out. Chuck Cowie led off with a ground ball to second base. Norm Roberts on second bob- bled the ball with Cowie pulling up safely at first. A sharp sing- le by Norm Stunden moved Cowie to second and Don Gib~ son came to bat. Gibson's shot to Len McLean at shortstop was booted and the ball went out into left field. Cowie and Stun- den came around to score and Gibson stretched for second Kent Clothes were eliminated from O.A.S.A. junior competi- tion by the powerful Tuxedo Junction Formals. Tuxedo lost the first game in Richmond Hill as the underdog Kent squad de- feated them by a 3-2 score. This game was played on Tuesday of last week. Tuxedo Wins 16-1 a: 2-0 Tuxedo Junction Wins Playoff 2 Games To I Thursday last Kent Clothes played the second game of the series in Fairbank Park. Tuxedo defeated Kents by an overwhel- ming 16-1 count to force the third and final game. Joe Cor- nack, coach of the clothier team lost the toss for the third game. The final game was played last Saturday night in Fa-irbank Park with Tuxedo winning by a 2-0 score. For their first year of com- petition the Kent squad acquit- ted themselves well. They won their share of games in the York-Simcoe League and grab- bed off the final play-off spot in the league. Markham elimin- ated them in two straight games. but not without a fight. They drew Tuxedo Junc- tion for their opponents in the 0.A.S.A. playdowns. Tuxedo is one of the finest junior teams in competi- tion today and the Kent team gave a better than rea- sonable account of them- â€"â€" I !FRANI( pAsszn! i HU. 5.1313 ME. 5.1000; (“““““““-‘U SEPTIC TANKS!

The relay to second from the outfield was juggled by Rob~ erts and Gibson took off for third. De Geer was all set for Roberts throw at third to trap Gibson but let the ball get away. The jubilant Gibson ramped home to add another run to the Aurora account. Aurora added another run in the eighth inning to make the final score 17-2 and even up the series. Seldom, if ever, has a Jeweller team booted the ball so effectively. Fifteen errors in one game must account for a new kind of record however unenvlable. Things got so bad that it became funny and the Aur- ora fans not only enjoyed winning the game but got a hearty chuckle out of the proceedings. It was a bum- iliating defeat for the Jew- . ellers. Bill Bowen pitched the route for Aurora. .The old maestro gave up a total of eight hits, struck out eight and gave up nary a walk. Bowen. like Sat- chel Paige. seems to improve with age like a vintage wine and his slow ball is a treat to be- hold. If there is a cooler, calm- er pitcher in softball today, we'd like to know who he is. Ken Roberts was the pick of the Jewellers with his three hits in four times at bat. Unlike his brother Norm. Ken does not lay any claims to being a pitcher but gave a very adequate relief hurling stint. He was nicked for six hits in a to.- and two-third inning relief appearance. A minor rhubarb occurred as the game ended with Russ Cripps demanding the deciding game be played on neutral ground with, in his words “neu- tral umpires". Clare Butler 0! the O.A.S.A. informed the “en- fant terrible” that the game would be played in Aurora with any umpires the O.A.S.A. saw fit to provide. All in all it was a wild night with Aurora being up for the game while the Jewellers were never so shaky and inept. Aur- ora deserves a lot of credit for fighting back from a two game deficit and would seem to be riding the crest mentally. Whe- ther or not the Jewellers can come back as strongly remains to be seen selves. Joe Corn-ck and Al Webster hope to be nble to arrange a few exhibition games to round out the season. Pitcher Larry Gulo carried the heaviest portion of the pit- ching burden for the clothierl and performed remarkably well. He pitched a 110-bit, n0<run game against Newmarket. facing only 28 batters in the process. With another pitcher of first ‘class calibre the Ken-t team :would have been particularly ‘efiective. The kids proved to be a real- ly pleasant surprise to local softball fans this season. They played a crowd-pleasing type of ball and made a host of friends. Lack of experience of- ten proved their downfall but made games even more exciting than they would normally have been. Something good was add- ed to the sporting scene by the team this year. We only hope that a sponsor will operate the team next season. It should be even more interesting than it .bas been. All players on the club have at least two more years of jun- ior ball left to them. With add- ed experience, and the addition of another pitcher to the roster, next year should see a great im- provement.
