Sport spots By Fred Simpson VOL. 89, NO. 34 To say that people. take things for granted in this world would be adding frosting to an already very stale piece of cake. The surprise is when they don’t. So I wasn’t surprised to hear that only eight parents out of a potential 1,100 showed up a few Wednesdays ago at the annual election of officers for Richmond Hill Minor Ball Association. Result: , No quorum, no election of officers. no “house league” for some 550 youngsters, and likely no $1.300 grant from town council. Last year‘s President Paul Binkley explained there was no other decision to arrive at. “Without the parent support we couldn‘t ercn elect a new lZ-man executive despite the fact we already had the 12 men willing to run. All the par- ents had to do was be there for one night." All Stars To Continue Binkley said that the OASA all-star teams will continue even if the town grant isn’t available because it’s our major project, that’s why we were Mlly organized. We created the house leagues in order to give the youngsters unable to make the all star teams a chance to play organized ball. But apparently there are few people who care whether there’s 2 house league or not.” Binkley noted that perhaps a Wednesday night was “a poor night considering there was a hockey game on television and games at the arena but out of 1,100 parents I expected at least 30 or 40 would turn up. Eight out of 1.100 is a pitiful percentage." This isn‘t the first time that minor ball. apparâ€" ently. has been on the verge of dying. “Just prior to the 1966 season.” said Mr. Binkley. “the then-executive just faded away due to internal strife and all indications were there would be no minor ball. I “We saw this happening” (by “we” he means Marty D’Alessandro and Tommy Sanlon) “and de- cided to get together to do our best to resurrect a rather questionable situation. The previous year’s executive hadn’t met and indications were it had no intentions of doing- so.” Thinking % of Buying WILSON-NIBLETT MOTORS "U": " CHEVROLET OLDSMOBUJfl CAMARU CHEVY u CHEVELLE 0" one of WILSON-NIBLETT Used Cars only the BEST Cob Pass the Test!
