Action gets under way at 7 pm. so you can work as ,usual on Tuesday and still get there in plenty of time. A All proceeds from the meet will be going for charitable work and you’ll be seeing North America’s best in their favourite events. Bill Crothers and Bruce Kidd will be there along with Abbie Hoffman and the incredible Nancy McRedie. You don't have to scurry to the big town for tickets. Tickets and a seating plan are available at Kent Clothes on Levendale Road and cost $2.50 to $3.50 each. Pick your seating spot by a quick easy visit to Kent Clothes and see the best this continent has to offer in the track and field line. o ~ r 7 r r Want to be an umpire in junior, intermediate and senior ball? Take a look next time you go to a game and see what umpires have to contend with. Players get the applause and the plaudits for their fine work but any ball game is only as good as the umpiring. That’s why our vote for some of nature’s noblemen are the men in blue who, for the most part, are competent and courageous officials! MR. SOCCER The name Stanley Matthews won’t mean too much to the average Canadian sports bug. Mention the name to anyone from the British Isles and they know you’re taking about Mr. Soccer. They’ve talk- ed about “iron men” in many a sport but compared to Matthews’ record they pall into insignificance. -This man is the best known and quite possibly the best soccer player in the world today. With him "the impossible has become the commonplace and his cups and medals would go a long way to stocking a Igood sized jewellery store. He shows no signs of quitting or fading and why should he? He was only 48 years old last February and has spent only 32 years in top flight soccer competition. Mr. Matthews came to Canada two years ago and was invited to pay a visit to the Orange Home soccer team. He was good enough to put himself out to give the. kids a big thrill and proved to be every hit as gracious as he is skillful. The next time a discussion about rugged ath- letes comes up, remember the name Stanley Mat- thews, all five feet, nine inches and 162 lbs. of rug- ged 48 year old iron man. And remember that while you’re discussing he’s still playing and advancing toward a spritely forty-nine! (Continued from page 9) ers and from fans â€" they expect it, that’s part of the game. But when the joshing becomes vicious abuse it’s time to draw the line. Players can be taken care of, but spectators are something else again. The loudest and foulest pop-off character at a ball game who gives the umpire the worst time seldom waits until the end of the game. He figures he knows more than that so and so blind man behind the plate and wants those around him to know what ‘a big man he is. If he was half the man he pretends to be he’d be in there handling the game but one thing stops him -â€" lack of intestinal fortitude (no guts) !

We were serenaded to sleep by the howls of wolves somewhere in the black hills across the lake. May 21 - AND MORE We started the day with a 200 yard portage from Rose- bary Lake to the Tim River. Here we found evidence of an old homestead. The log house and barn had long since tumb- led down and the rust encrust- ed plough lay in the centre of a pitiful little patch of a field where it had been left. What a heartbreaking struggle some poor soul must have had. We fished several good sets of rapids on our way down- stream ending up with enough fish for the pan that night. Lunch was bread. cold meat, cheese and a chocolate bar; which we ate en route thereby not losing any valuable travel- ling or fishing time. We found an old log cabin on a portage just at nightfall. What a treat to be able to sleep indoors on a bitterly cold night like this one. We noticed names and dates carved on the walls dating back to 1929. After a cribbage game and a nlghtcap. it’s off to bed. I left Red in camp later that day and went out trolling by myself. It was while I was out on the lake that the severest storm of the trip hit us. The lake was churned to a froth in minutes and the downpour was so heavy visibility was cut to 150 feet. It was during the middle of this I hooked and landed the first lake trout of the trip: a three pounder taken on :1 Williams Wabbler. May 22 - PLUSH LODGINGS We were trolling the shore- line at one end of the lake when we spotted a doe stand- ing on the shore not 70 feet from us observing us curiously. We spent the day fishing Rosebary Lake and Longbow Lake which adjoins it. Fishing was very spotty and up until late afternoon we had just caught a few specs up to 1% pounds. ' It was several hours after the first grey of dawn when we staggered stiffly into the day- light and surveyed the crudest pitched tent I have seen for some time. We fished Tim Lake brief- ly with no success although we dld pick up several speck- led trout from a pool below the dam where Tim Lake emp- ties into the Tim River. We made the short portage around the dam and then push- ed on downstream. The Tim River snakes its way through miles of tag alder swamps un- til it flows into Rosebary Lake where we pitched a tight camp on the former site of a ranger's cabin. mmmwmmmm~am~m~~mmMAMMAMMMM By the time we reached the summit with about 100 pounds on our backs we felt like we had scaled Everest. As Red crawled over the brow he mut- tered (among other Lthgs) “I hereby claim this g.d. mountain for Russia and it shall hence- forth be known as Kneeknocker Hill". We completed our last trip cold. wet and exhausted well after dark. We hurriedly erect- ed our tent and collapsed in our sleeping bags. No insomnia problems that night. May 20 - MORE RAIN Part way up the hill was a punt that some optimistic souls had at one time attempted to portage into the river; but had finally given up on and had left it there to rot away. This is one of the roughest portages I have ever made. It entails 3% miles of sloshing through mud and water and climbing up hills and over deadfalls. About half way into the river there is a high, mud- covered hill that rises at a 45 degree angle. Red Arbour and I decided to spend a week fishing some of the more remote sections of Algonquin Park. my 19-KNEEKNOCKER HILL Our trip commenced with a portage into the Pine River. It was raining steadily as we started In with the first load and it didn’t ease up all day. We drove east from Kearney down a backroad that twisted along the banks of the Magne- tawan River. This is a mighty interesting stretch of water and it required a great deal of self discipline to pass many of the rapids and riffles without stop- ping to wet a line. John Power Member 0! Outdoor Warn. of Cdnaan -Hh Pheasants On Increase Judging from the number of pheasant chicks that have been seen in this area it would ap- pear that the pheasant popula- tion is on a decided upswing. It would behoove motorists using the local roads to proceed with a degree of caution and give the young chicks a fight- ing chance to grow into mature birds. Anyone found molesting either parent birds or chicks will be prosecuted to the full- est extent of the law. The recent spell of warm weather seems to be improving the pike and pickerel fishing in local popular areas. Most fishâ€" ermen report the best results in the early evening as fish lurk in the depths during the heat of the day and gradually move toward the surface as the sun drops. If you are a catfish or perch devotee some fair catches have been reported from the Frenchman‘s Bay area during the past week. We portaged 900 yards lnto Burnt Island Lake. From there it.was a short lift' into Baby Joe Lake and a 600 yard port- age from Baby Joe into Little Joe. Another couple of hours saw us at the Canoe Lake Landing and homeward bound. Fishing was terrific for Red and I as we picked up our count of lakers up to 7% pounds as well as several specs up to 3 pounds in weight. Big Trout Lake is a beautiful body of water and would be a grand spot to spend a few days. We arrive back at camp at nightfall with a bit of a sun- burn, but rested and happy. May 25 - THE OTTERSLIDES Otterslide Creek was a bit of a chore with five portages up to 600 yards in length. We met a party coming in with their gear packed in garbage pails. Now I’ve seen it all! Meeting Al Wickman of Tampa, Florida was a pleasure. He was spending his two week vacation canoelng by himself through Algonquin Park. AI works at Cape Canaveral and had seen the launching of astronaut Cooper the previous week. He then flew to Toronto and travelled by bus to Hunts- ville where he was picked up‘ by Algonquin Outfitters who completely outfitted him for his trip. We ended up at nightfall in Little Otterslide Lake at a beautiful island campsite. We sat around until midnight- en- joying a cigar and 0111‘ last night in the park. The sunset was gorgeous. May 26 - IT’S ALL OVER We decided to fish Big Trout Lake today. The weather was beautiful for a change. Troll- ing past an island we discover- ed that we didn't have the lake to ourselves. We caught quite a few specs in the Tim that day although nothing too large. They seem- ed to hit Panther Martin and Mepps spinners the best. We also found the Cybel good in shallow fast water. ‘ The Tim eventually found its way down to Longer Lake where we took 4 lake trout on a slow troll. We also caught several fish that had us buf- faloed. They ranged up to 18 inches in length and resembled an overgrown common shiner. I have since found out these are called Fallfish. We portaged from Longer Lake into Big Trout Lake where we pitched camp on a beautiful campsite overlooking the lake. The snow was still on the ground. but tomorrow promised to be warmer. May 24-Meeting a Missile Man What a shock. The ground was covered with snow and was it cold! We almost welcomed the four portages we had to make that day as an opportuni- ty to warm up. May 23 ~ WINTER AGAIN The end of a wonderful trip To help you decide, I‘m going to list some of the rules that make good umpires. Cut these rules out, and read them occas- ionally. Later. see if you can add a few new rules to the list. Here then is my idea of the ten rules to make a good um- pire. Crashes Mark Program {At Pinecrest Speedway ‘ Today or tomorrow you may be taking your first game, so \now is the time to decide what kind of umpire you are going to be. You can be the kind that is admired and respected, or the kind that is greeted by a remark like, “Oh no, not this guy to take our big game." 1. I will not be an umpire who thinks that he knows ev- erything. 2. I will umpire softball be- cause I love the game. 3. I will never, make a call in anger. 4. I will dress myself to look like an umpire. What kind of umpire do you want to be? ‘ Harold Fagan of Willowdale was again a prime factor in de- lcldlng the feature win between ‘Jerry Watson and Jim Halla- han. Fagan caused one restart after he spun out on the race's third lap. Placed last in the 15-car field for the restart, Fa- gan protested vigorously, to no avail. From the 13th to the 15th lap, however, he was able to effectively block the leaders trying to get by him. On the 15th, Watson and he started bumping and the resultant? chain-reaction pileup sidelined‘ seven cars, including a shook- up but uninjured Fagan, sitting in the infield to which No. 54 had bounced. Watson was in front of Hal- lahan by a quarter-lap at the 20th-1ap finish. Nick Rampling was seven lengths behind Halâ€" lahan.

Tips For Umpires SEE On Monday. June 3rd this year the juvenile ser- tion of the Richmond Hill Minor Ballv Association opened their current sea- son. Four teams are oper- ating in this group, Bork Jewellers, Bayview Plaza B.A.. Reid’s Auto Body and the Liberal. Juvenile soft- ball players range ln age from 16 to 18 years and are out to give the game their best shot. From early appearances Bayview B.A. and the Lib- eral would seem to be the teams to beat. Both clubs seem to have just a little more polish and finesse than the other two teams but with playing experi- ence the others are bound to improve greatly. Proof that the Juvenile program produces players capable of going on to a higher class of softball is bound up in Kent Clothes thlrd sacker Bob Flnnegan. play a fast and free-wheel- lng type of game with great spectator appeal. Head for the park, take I look and see if you don't agree. Juvenile Softball By Don Pilcher SURF 5. I will not stop trying to ,‘learn. Jo Cresswell won her first feature. by a quarter-lap over Bernice Schell. Joanne Lough was third. Diane Rosevear and Pat Howes are tied for the points lead with 11. J0 and Lor- raine Hallahan are third, 21 point back. Keep these rules in mind, and follow them ‘in games. They will make for good offic- iating by you. good softball by the players. and good fun for the fans. WILLOWDALE : Cost of adult education classes with three exceptions will be $10 per sub- ject next year in North York: exceptions are $5. English for new Canadians: $20 for advan- ced technical and $25 for busi- ness management and distrib- utive education The season's first wreck‘em assault is scheduled as an add- ed feature of this Saturday's 10-race card and already has 18 entries. 7. I will listen to those who offer constructive criticism. 8. I will try to make sure that 18 boys enjoy each game. 9. I will call all of the rules all of the time. Richmond Hill's Bill Britton seemed headed for a good night, but bad luck continued to dog him. He broke an axle in the second heat. but man- aged to fix it and win the Last Chance race. However, he was finished when he crashed the wall in the feature‘s first pile- up, 6. I will call the plays as I see them. not as I want to see them. 10.

George Rueffer was kept off the scoresheet by a balky carburetor and dropped to sec- ond, with 34 points. Watson has 33, Hallahan 32, Frank Blaker 30, Nick Rampling 26 and Bob Watson, Jerry’s brother. has 25. The future of softball in Richmond Hill would seem to be assured for many years to come with such a supply of talent on the way up. Games are played as doubleheaders at the Town Park every Monday night starting at 6.45 pm. They play a fast and free-wheel- lng type of game with great spectator appeal. Many of the juvenile players this year show up well already and would be capable of moving up next year. Capable young pitch- ers and catchers are very noticeable with candidates for better things seen at every position. Finnegan was a juvenile last year and was able to move easily into junior ranks with Kents. He plays the position as if he owned third base. !

Larry Mann the North York hurler touched off a rhubarb by stalking off the mound on a disputed call by plate umpire Ron Bailey. By the time the noise and the fury had subsided the game was awarded to Kent's with Paul Godfrey. North York manager, indicating the lodging of a protest to the league.

As far as local fans were con- ‘cerned they were thoroughly disgusted with the actions of the North York team. In all fairness to the Clothier squad they stayed clear of the alter- cation and deserved the best of any official decision that it was necessary to make. If the North York team does not see fit to abide by the recognized rules of the game and to flout even the common laws of de. cent conduct then they have no place in this league. They have a team capable of playing good softball and it is to be hoped that they change their mode of conduct and become a credit instead of a disgrace to the league.
