10 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, Aug. 24, 1967 I decided to go out with Toronto Plating. I guess I thought I could just throw the ball in. Didn’t work out that way. Hughes bombed me. That taught me a pretty good lesson.” BIG HEAD Domik also” admits to being slightly “big- headed” on his return to Canada. “It must have gone to my head”, he said. “I hadn’t played for a few weeks on my return when V VD‘omikl/s‘tflates he has picked up quite a bit of ball savvy in the last year or two and points out he doesn’t really try to strike out everyone. “You pick your spot”, he said, “and when you can conserve your energy you do it. The main thing is to get that hall where you want it and get them out. As long as it’s an out I don’t worry a- bout the strikeouts.” Domik said over the years his most problems have been with a chap by the name of Bill “Skip” DeGeer who now, of course, is his teammate with the Jewellers. “The Skinner has always given me trouble. He’s a good hitter, tough to get and tougher to strike out. He always gets a piece of the ball. It was about 50-50 with him. I’d get him out half the time and he’d hit me for the next half.” Domik figures his pitching in 1967 has been the best he’s managed in quite a few years. The record bears him out. He’s won 10 and lost none and has allowed on- lv one earned run in the Fairbanks Major Fastball League and has come up with a total win-loss rec- ord in scheduled league games and tournaments of 18-3. He’s won one tournament and lost. two to date. At this writing Big Bob is embroiled with the Toronto Plating team in the OASA Senior “B” Playoffs and has his rx'tching sights set on bringingr home an Ontario title. Like Mr. Judd in 1963, if you please. And that was quite a stirring opener at the new ball diamond the other night. The game had a little bit of everything in it. Good hits, good plays. and color. Providin the color were Dynes‘ Third Baseman Bill "Skin" DeGeer and the irrepressible Coach Russell 7“Casey” Cripps. DeGeer specializes in making a simple out something of a production. Example: He grounded easily to a charging first baseman who was waiting to tag him as he came down first base. DeGeer almost got there but decided to back up instead forcing the first baseman to chase him. A minor play but an effective one. Then there was the other time when Skip â€"â€"- who it’s been rumored talks a fair bit from his 'third base position â€"-â€" got centered out by a finger- stabbing second base umpire who told him to “shad- dup, shaddup, you open your mouth once more and you’re out.” Skip was silent . . . for awhile. Then, woe is me, “Casey” got the same second base umpire fresh from being angered by Mr. Deâ€" Geer. He asked him to get some spectators off the Plating bench and this had the desired effect of causing the umpire to blow up. Richmond Hill Suburba Knight President Jack Buxton reports a last minute change in locale for this Saturday’s opening game. The game â€" orig- inally slated for Bayview Secondary School â€"‘ will instead be played at St. Andrew’s College in Aur- ora. beginning at 10.30 am. Should be interesting and advise local citizens to drop around. The grounds at St. Andrew’s are excellent so they tell me. Again the Ifinger-stabbin‘g and the words: “You’re out of the game!” Casey trudged discon- solately away. .. . Sport S'pot: . . . And the other football word is from the Richâ€" mond Hill Civitan Football League for bantam and peewee teams. President R. Q. Thompson reports that three bantam and two peewee teams have been register- ed and are practisinq at Crosby Park Tuesday and Thursday nights. The first league game is slated for September 9 at Richmond Hill High. Mr. Thompson reports the early. registration is encouraging but there is still a need for boys to fill out the league properly. But the biggest prob- lem is the need for four persons to handle the games starting in September and ending November 4. More on this in an upcoming column.
