Largely through his efforts, softball has become one of the biggest attractions in the area and the end is not yet in sight. Ask any of his players. As a sponsor he rates at the top of the heap.

Frank Hughes. a fugitive from the Beach League, came out of retirement to play the initial sack position for the Jewellers.

'1 the fa: Maybe beâ€"pe The recent cold weather we have been enjoy- ing? ? ? seems to have some people thinking about the fastest growing Canadian winter sportâ€"skiing. Maybe there isn’t any snow right now but there will beâ€"perish the thought! So it’s quite possible that it is not too early to mention a little bit about skiing from the point of view of the beginner. Here goes. If you have been contemplating taking up skiing the first thing you will be faced with is a bewildering assortment of equipment. Skiis come in many lengths, many widths, assorted materials from wood through various plastics and into fine metals. They are all colours of the rainbow and some of them bear exotic designs embossed on their upper surfaces. Pricewise they range from a very few dollars to close to two hundred dollars. And that’s only the bare beginning! Boots range in price anywhere from twenty to one hundred and ten dollars. They also come in many models and colours of leather. Most of the better boots, or rather the more expensive ones are made in Europe, but Canadian manufacturers are starting to come up with a. good competitive boot. The same story can be told for poles, harnesses and ski clothing. You can be absolutely baffled by a tremen- dous variety of choices. Maybe there is beâ€"perish the is not too earl from the point The best bet for anyone who is considering taking to the hills during the coming season is to consult a reputable ski outfitter. There are lots of them around. If you want to ski for a fairly modest outlayâ€"an out- lay which will include skis, safety harness, poles, boots, stretch ski slacks, a good jacket, ski mitts, cap and goggles, then you’ll be spending close to one hundred and ten dollars. This will assure you of good equipment and get you off to a fine start. A little care and it will last for years. Maybe you’d like to try skiing but don’t want to lay out too much money in the event that you discover it’s not the sport for you. Then don’t buy equipment â€"rent it! There are a goodly number of ski dealers who will rent you boots, skis, harnesses and poles, for about eight dollars and fifty cents from Friday to Monday. This is all good equipment because they want you to enjoy yourself and they don’t want you to get hurt through any fault of their equipment. For about ten dollars they will rent you the same outfit but the skis will be Head skis. These skis are the Cadillacs of the trade and carry a price tag well above the hundred dollar figure. All in all the rental idea seems to be the best bet for the undecided and (Continued on page 10) SPOR T SPO TS BY RON CRAINE 15 RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10th, 1953 HOME PAPER OF {HE DISTRICT SINCE 1878 ANOTHER SKIING SEASON WILL SOON BE HERE "1' In.

Aurora scored two unearned first-inning runs on two errors. a fielder’s choice and a sacri- fice fly. Coach Norm Stunden‘s double following Keith Scott’s walk gave Aurora its eighth- inning run. It's been a winning year all- round for the Aurora team as it compiled a total of 25 wins and only four losses in league and play-off encounters. In the O.A.S.A. finals the team copped 10 games while losing only one. Pitcher Rob- erts spun five shut-out games in wins over Markham, Acton, Picton, Goderich and Dunnvil- 1e. Their only defeat was a 5-2 loss to Goderich. The Aurora team features speedy base-running and youth. Three of their players, Ter- ry Stone, Bryan Knowles, and Charlie Learning are just 19 years old.
