This newest outdoors club has located on 200 acres of good game country at the Bayview Cedars Horse Ranch â€" Bayview and 19th Avenues. There are two ponds on the property one suitable for trout stoctlidng while the other would make an ideal bass pon . Mr. Berresford, proprietor of Bayview Cedars has made clubhouse facilities available to members. Admittedly there remains a good deal of work to Whip the property into first class shape but mem- bers have already demonstrated a willingness and a big capacity to work for what they want and will eventually have. In this case the rod and gun part does not mean exactly what it says. Members feel that the club will support and encourage ALL outdoor activities from archery, fly tying, dog training and skeet shooting to just plain picnicking. They mean to get a real program rolling and they’ve started off in high gear. So welcome to the Cedar Rod and Gun Club, the newest arrival on the sporting scene in this area. It’s something we’ve needed for a long time and we’ll watch your progress with a great deal of interest! If you look at it logically the game should be as dull as dishwater. Take a big, strong pitcher who can overpower batters almost at will. Along with this pitcher mix in a bunch of players who play good defensive ball and can and do outwit the opposition by a 5-1 ratio. They’re certain winners, not much doubt about it. But, and it’s a really big but, the other team, the one that doesn’t have as good pitch- ing and gets only one-fifth as many hits as the stronger club wins the ball game. Don’t laugh, lady â€"-it happens often! All that’s needed is the odd fielding lapse and one or two strategic hits and there goes the old ball game! As far as we’re concerned the very unpredictability of the game is its charm and lure. That’s why year after year softball fans are growing in numbers because no matter how much of an expert figurer you are the unexepected can and does happen to upset all your pre-conceived calcula- tions. Try watching a game sometime and see! Sometimes the chatelaine of the manor in which we live wonders what makes some people so very much hipped on watching a softball game. At times it’s hard to come up with a sensible answer but the truth of the matter is that the uncertainty of the game makes it one of the best spectator sportsgoing. In an effort to streamline operations and do a better job for all citizens, the Richmond Hill Parks Board and the Recreation Committee have urged an amalgamation of both bodies to members of Rich- mond Hill council. Two separate autonomous bodies seem to overlap in many areas with a division of responsibility that is often not too clear cut. Both groups are primarily interested in the same thing â€"- providing recreational areas and facilities for Rich- mond Hill. Something new has shown up on the local sport- ing scene â€" the Cedar Rod and Gun Club. For a long time it has been felt that a club catering to outdoor activities was needed in this area. Last Wednesday night a group of eager citizens helped to launch the new project. Already they’re off to a flying start.

Wasaga Beach provincial park was in full operation last Friday with four entrances manned similar to last season, according to a Department of Lands and Forests report. ' Formal entrance fees were placed in effect. Gate attend- ants will be on duty this sum- mer from 11 am. to 7 pm. weekdays and 9 am. to 8 pm. weekends and holidays. Life- guards will again be on duty in the more heavily used sec- tions of the beach. Work during the past winter and spring in connection with erosion control has made a no- ticeable change in Nancy Is- land; the museum there dis- plays the remains of the H.M.S. “Nancy” destroyed during the war of 1812 and other historic items. Monday at 8 pm. in Maple, a team of jockeys from Wood- bine will meet the KVW All Stars in an exhibition game which promises to be the most entertaining of the season. The project involved the use of stone~filled gabions on one side and both ends of the is- land which has also been level- led, filled and landscaped with trees and shrubs.

Prompt action on the part of ranging staff kept the fires to one acre or less in size and investigations indicate all resulted from carelessness with campfires. Careless Campers Cause Fires, So Follow The Rules Prompt action also was taken by lands and forests depart- ment staff to extinguish a fire which broke out in a hardwood area in the main tract of Duff- erin Forest, under agreement, in Mulmur Township. Although high winds increased the dan- ger of spread fire fighters were able to contain the outbreak at two acres. Cause is being inves- tigated. In the eighth inning Streets- ville had a 4-2 lead going when the Kent sponsor offered a shirt to the player who drove in the tying run with the same deal applying to the winning run. 1 During the coming weeks many summer visitors will again be travelling in wooded areas and building campfires. Carelessness with campfires continues to be one of the main causes of fires which occur throughout the province every summer - some of which causes considerable damage before be- ing brought under control. Ob- serving the following standard safety rules is the way to pre- vent such danger and one of the most effective ways the public can assist in keeping forest areas green: Larry Guio Kent Clothes number one hurler, pitched and won two games for the Cloth- iers last week. Monday the Kent squad defeated a rough, tough Franklin team by a 1_2_-4 count and came from behind on Tuesday to “in 6-4 over Streetsville. Build your campfire in a safe place on rock, sand, gravel or mineral soil near the water, clearing away any nearby de- bris or branches. GuioWinsZ For Kents Keep the fire small using small sticks. Keep the fire under observa- tion and before leaving make sure it is dead out. The sure way is to stir the coals with a stick to separate them, drench the coals with water and run your hands through the wetted coals using more water if they are still hot. Drench the ground around the campfire to ensure the last spark is dead out. Winners at the recent Markham School Area track and field meet held at Henderson School were Lynda Moss, 13, grade Six at Thornlea, and Harry Leishman, 16, grade Eight at Henderson. The two outstanding athletes are pictured with Markham Area One Physical Education teacher A. Moorby. Schools competing in the meet were 16th School, Thornlea, Woodlands, Henderson and Bayviéw Glen.

All those who indicated by letter that they were interested‘ in the formation of this club will be welcome. eu' Skip De Geer proved to be the most consistent hitter on the Jeweller club as he pasted Franklin's Norm Bagnell for four singles in four official times at bat. Bagnell walked DeGeer in his fifth appearance at the plate. It was a heart-breaking loss for Ray Judd. Dynes' ace hur- Ier gave up three hits and struck out 18 while Bagnell was tagged for 13 hits. The differ- ence was a home run blast off the bat of Franklin's Freddy Thomas with a runner already on in the sixth inning. At this initial meeting a board of directors was formed to head up the new organiza- tion. Ray Hunt was elected sec- retary. Don Plaxton and Bob Champoux will be responsible: for the drafting of bylaws,‘ John Moore will be in charge} of fishing projects with Frank McPherson leading the way in1 the hunting section.

Gun Club OffersWidePro-gramme June 26 the first meeting of the Cedar Rod and Gun Club was held at Bayview Cedars Horse Ranch, Bayview and 19th Avenues. Some 18 people at- tended this formative meeting headed by Lyn Tucker. ‘ Mr. Tucker outlined the facilities available to mem- bers of the newly formed club. These facilities in- clude 200 acres of rolling farm land and bush with plenty of varmint and rab- bit hunting in season. A trout pond is also located on the property with a sec- ond pond suitable for rais- ing bass. A target range and skeet range are to be built subject to the approval of local councils with archery and small arms areas to be included on the bill of fare. Members are already working to clean out an area DeGeer Gets Four Hits Dynes Bow To Franklins Both teams were guilty of errors and the Jewellers scored on an error in the opening in- ning. DeGeer belted a single to centre field and the ball el- uded Thomas. DeGeer came around to score easily on the play. Franklin’s tied the score in the fifth inning as catcher Ron Klazer was scored. Klazer sing- led, stole second and was scored on a single by Ron Woods. The sixth inning saw Franklin's leap to a 3-1 lead as which nics. 1?

Pheasant huts are already be- ing refurbished in preparation for a batch of pheasant chicks. The rod and gun appella- tion is not indicative of the true aims of the club. Di- rectors intend to see that a wide and varied program is carried out with something to appeal to all outdoor tastes. Family needs are being considered with the construction of picnic areas and activities -to include whole family groups. The Cedar Rod and Gun Club fills a need that has long existed in this area. Present members have already indicat- ed that they are more than pleased with the site and have served notice that they intend to develop the area as fast as practical.

Brothers Bob and Jerry won four of the nine men’s races, including Bob’s second feature of the season, and Jerry took over the points lead. Dynes Jewellers, led by the superlative pitching of Ray Judd won a Dominion Day weekend softball tournament at Peterborough. Judd struck out 53 batters in pitching 27 innings of ball as the Jewellers defeat- ed Russell Drugs 2-0, Oshawa Bad Boys 9-3 and won the final game 2-0 over Peterborough Georgies. Shortstop Neb Gayman, whose size belies his tremendous hit- ting strength, slammed out two home runs in the tourney. The consistent hitting of Gayman and Skip De Geer are two of the really bright spots on the Jeweller hitting roster. ' Richmond Hill Lawn Bowl: ing Club proved to be excellent hosts Monday, July 1, when all prizes in the annual mixed trebles tournament for the Savage trophy, went to visiting rinks. The trophy was awarded to Milne Freeman of Azincourt, who skipped his rink to the top place for three wins in the day’s games. Second prize for three wins went to the rink skipped by Aubrey Pope of Port Credit, and thirdvto the T. Hammond rink of Claremont. High for two wins were the Don Bacon trio from Stouf- ville, and the Walter Edwards rink from Brampton were tops for one win. The district tournament for mens trebles will be held Wednesday afternoon and even- ing at the local greens I was behind the plate in the lst Richmond Hill juvenile soft- ball game of the season, and I found out an amazing thing. These boys and their coaches still do not fully understand the ruling regarding the bat- ting order. On one night, this rule was violated twice, the second time resulting in the loss of the game. This rule is very important, and it is a mandatory thing players and coaches know every facet of it. It goes without say- ing. that you, the man in blue, must be prepared to call this rule when required. The batting order is Smith. Jones, Harris, Stewart. Smith bats,- and goes to first. Then Harris gets a hit. Now 'here is the tricky part. The batter after Harris should he Stewart, so. if the pitcher tosses the ball to him, just one strike, then he, Stewart is the proper batter; and no action is taken re Jones. But if the error is discovered before the ball is delivered to Stewart, then Jones is out. and Smith goes back to first. While on the subject of the batting order, many umpires and scorekeepers have trouble putting in a substitute on the batting list. There is no need for confusion: the player com- ing into the game bats in the spot of the player he replaces. This does not mean that the short stop will continue to bat first in the line-up. Take this case. The pitcher starts to tire, so he is replaced by the right fielder. The pitcher leaves the game. and a new player enters ‘to play right field. The batting One part of the rule is par- ticularly tricky. It is the part that says that if a batter comes to bat out of order, then “on appeal, the proper batter is out." Now then. once the ball has been delivered to the next batter, then all preceding play stands. Here is a case, to show the way that the rule works.

The right fielder who is now pitching stays in the same spot, and the new player bats in the spot vacated by the pitcher. Many errors are made by score keepers and umpires on this account. And now if you think that you know the rules about bat- ting order. try this one for size. Let's see you match wits with the umpire. The batting order is Smith. Jones. Harris. Stewart. Smith starts the inning off right with a little scratch hit. Jones comes to bat, and is unfortunate enough to hit into a double play. Then, Stewart steps to bat. and goes down swinging. No protest is heard about him batting out of order. But who is the first batter in the next inning. Is it Harris, who missed a turn, Stewart. who should be second after Jones, or the man after Stewart. You’re the um- pire, who is the correct batter? DEPARTMENT OF HEALTI; TOWNSHIP OF NORTH YORK This one is really very simple. A little thinking is all that is needed to come up with the correct answer. The last batter was Stewart, so any oth- er than the man following him would be the wrong better. It cannot be Harris, (he is passed by) and it cannot be Stewart. (he was last up) so it must be the man after him. Safe Boating Brush up on the rules of safe boating. Watch for next week’s list of rules but a cardinal rule is a very simple one; display good manners afloat; show proper respect for others and usually you will get the same treatment in re- turn.
