12 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, April 11. 1968 That meeting saw Clare Butler of Willowdale elected president for a two-year term. It also appears the Jewellers will be lining up a number of exhibition contests this season with some topflight teams from New York State which all adds up to even more interesting and top quality ball for Richmond Hill this summer. ‘ Ron McAndrews slipped in during my absence, fluttered a note on the desk which says to wit: His Mic Mac girls softball club will be staging tryouts every Saturday afternoon at 2 in the local ball park until their league opens. For further in- formation call Ron at 884-0086 from 8 am to 4 pm; or Pete Hannam at 884-8277, any time. Oh yes, the second annual Cub hockey game featuring the 3rd “B” Richmond Hill Flyers and the 4th York Downs Vikings will be held this Friday in the new arena from 2 to 3:30 pm. Door prizes will be given away. Admission is 75c each or two tickets for $1.25. And still] on Casey. He and Vern Dynes, spon- sor of the Jewellers, attended the annual Ontario Amateur Softball Association meeting in St. Cath- arines on the weekend. Work on the park and the diamond will be going on in the meantime and things should be okay as long as we don’t have a recurrence of what happened to that fellow and his ark along time ago. Not likely, but nothing surprises me anymore. Also from “Casey”. Dynes will have played three or four scheduled games in the meantime. Word from the “Casey” Cripps that the Dynes home opener "in the Beaches Fastball League has been set back to May 23 to assure conditions at the ball diamond will be readv. Should be an interesting affair. Game time is 8 pm in the new arena. But the main reason for your attending is a very, very important one. Proceeds from the game will be going to the Retarded Children’s Edu- cation Authority in Richmond Hill. So go and have fun but for a terribly serious cause. Your cause right now, everyone’s cause. One Bill Dice popped in to announce that Toâ€" ronto‘s vaunted Argos will be trying to pick up a win via skates come April 22 against the stalwart members of the Richmond Hill Police Force. No. you can have the banquet circuit, Bob and Stan. I’ll just go down to the store, pick up some baloney, a loaf of bread, and go off to my roof. Call me tomorrow and report to me on how the banquet went. I’ll give you good coverage, honest. But no speeches, no nothing. Please. Started out the column on a wing and a prayer so might just as well struggle on for a few more notes. Just no use. Even the process of sitting ob- scurely before a plate of roast beef and gravy is a touchy problem. Which fork do I use? Spill a pea. Do I let it roll across the table in front of someone else and just leave it there? Or stab at it with my fork and risk ridicule or, even worse, injuring some- one. Me? One of those misfortunates who would get nervous and try to make a humorous remark. Leaden silence. One of those that would start at the end of a sentence and work towards the front of it. (Continued from Page 11) Then you have the type of person who is asked to make an impromptu speech. He struts up there. smiles brightly, confidently, and wheels right on through it. . . , sport spat: . . .

SATURDAY, APRIL 13 SUNDAY, APRIL 21 FRIDAY, APRIL 12 ADMISSION 350 Q The Jewellers were never Q really in the game against the Q Comets after getting off to a Q sluggish start. Ditto for rthe Willowdale Rangers who found themselves on the wrong end of a 4-3 de- cision at the hands of Toronto Shultons. For both winning squads it was a case of winning the final game as both best-of-five series went the distance. The Shultons and Comets each won three games, lost two, and tied one. Dynes Jewellers were two goals behind before the game was 10 minutes old and that told the whole story. It was also the end of the 1967â€"68 story for the Jewellers Tuesday night of last week as they bowed out of the York- Simcoe Senior Hockey League semifinals via a 7-4 loss to Don Mills Comets. Ivan Denike went right in for an easy score at 7:26 from Ca1- vin George. In team action 5-2 513th were: Manufacturers’ Life de- feating Richmond Inn, Bob's ‘Delivery taking Cardinal Insul- ation.

It was the las't game against a Toronto entry that still has Perkie shaking his excess weight. “We won 15-7 but it was kind of a foolish game." he said. “They tied the game up with a five-ender. My stone caught something as I tried to outdraw and just stopped dead."
