Richmond Hill - 889-1105 A dropped fly ball in extra innings Sunday eliminated Richmond Hill Dynes Jewellers in sud- den fashion from the annual Laval Fastball Tourn- ament in Quebec. The. error gave Oshawa Tony's a 1-0 win and propelled them into the finals against a steam- rolling Ray Judd-led Providence squad from the United States who demolished them, 11-1 with 19 hits to walk away with all the honors. Richmond Hill's sudden demise came after both teams had battled through even terms during reg- ulation seven innings with a combination of Billy Drennan and Bob Domik for the Hill against the tough slants of Lefty Pete Landers of the Tony’s. Landers allowed rthe Jewel- lers only three hits over the seven innings striking out 12. 1k at 2k * Saturday's opener against the same Tony's was a different story as Richmond Hill jumped on Landers for two runs and five hits in the fourth inning By Fred Simpson Words seem rather a futile, empty way of expressing my regrets to Les Downing on the death of hi wife.

But it‘s the best I can do and having known Les for the past four or five years in his capacity as an outstanding player for the Dynes Jewellers and his *' quiet, friendly. always gentlemanly department on .and Off the field, I feel something has to he said. I know I speak for the Dynes management, players. and ball spectators. in offering my condol- ences at this time. Best wishes for a speedy recov- ery to Les and his parents who were also injured in the accident. â€"â€"IAN NEILL Domik had replaced a tiring Drennan in the fifth inning and the latter had taken over left field in case an ailing Domik would have to be taken from the game. MICHIGAN’S SAFE HIGHWAY There is a network of roads in Michigan. that stretches more than half the length of the New Jersey Turnpike. that is far ahead of the government's program for highway improvement. It, is the General Motors test track at Milford. where accident/injury frequency is only 1/25th as high as on rural highways. which are statistically the safest traffic arteries in the country. Conceived originally to test GM vehicles, the grounds have also pr0ved that motor vehicle traffic can be made safe through advances in road design. traffic control and other essential elements of an updated highway program. For example: A 1956 study showed that three-of-four proving ground mishaps occurred because a car ran 'off the road and struck an obstacle. A program was insti- tuted in which many proving ground roadsides were cleared 100 feet from the pavement as an optimum safety measure. Further research disclosed. however. that 80% of this type of accident could be eliminated if the road- sides were cleared only 25 to 30 feet, a span well within the rights-of-way of many existing highways. Ditches paralleling many of the proving ground's original roads presented another problem. Cars, unable to cross the ditches, crashed into them. As part. of a Q 1 t i .

Dynes put the game away in the first inning on a two-run homerun by Downing, a single by Small, a walk to Boyne, and Dickey‘s double. They scored five more in the third on a single to Boyne, a walk to Dickey. singles by Smith and Drennan, Hancock and Kinnersly. Winning pitcher was Drennan who gave six hits in going the ‘9 against the Tony‘s as Drennan ing to score on Les Downing’s matched Landers pitch for single with the play going from pitch for the first five innings‘rightfielder to home plate. ‘ allowing Oshawa only one hit Downing went to second on _ before tiring.

Smith then struck out to end basically have to go along » with already developed 3v players. There’s usually not much room for green » ones. That’s where the less glamorous but very vital teams such as the Rich- mond Hill Auto Body one in the new Richmond Hill and District Intermediate Fastball League comes in. ' “It’s my aim, my hope to build a team such as this up to the point where maybe someday it can com- pete with anyone with a. lineup of players right from the Hill.” The speaker was 28-year-old Bill Rice who man- ages the auto body team. “Out of the 15 players on my team,” states efficiently. » Beyond the ditch the roadside may rise or fall, cre- ating a slope upon which an errant vehicle may over- turn. The solution to this problem came from a series of attempted roll-over tests which determined it was practically improssible to overturn a car on a slope that rose or fell no more than 1 foot for each 6 feet of lateral distance. Extensive guardrail studies have also resulted in safer designs. In addition. line of sight. night lighting. lane width and other elements were based on advanced concepts. These roads now handle more than 20 million miles, of driving each year, yet there has not been a fatality since 1942. This, in itself, should prove something. *** Drive defensively.

Rice is prepared to take his lumps initially but also points out that. he has been pleasantly surprised by the way his “local” homebrews have fared to date in its first season in a higher calibre of ball. l # II * JOE BALL “We’re playing 500 ball against intermediate calibre teams after graduating from the Town In- dustrial League last season." said Bill. Last season’s club. then sponsored by Reid‘s Auto Body. picked up 10 of the top players in the industrial League to form his present club. “We‘ve. got seven junior aged ball players with us plus another seven intermediate calibre fellows such as Moe Williamson. Bucky Buchanan. and Pitcher Bob Kennedy." Bill is also providing the opportunity for such potential future stars as juniors. Mike Thompson. a centre fielder. and Gord Wright. first base. who “I think have a very good future in senior ball. The important thing right now is that they're get- ting the opportunity to play.“ Bill's favorite recent example of a locallv devel- oped player is 18-year-old infield Duane Reid of the Jewellers. Duane played with the Reid‘s team for the past four years before graduating to the Jew- ellers where he has looked anything but out of place. “Our team is endeavoring to fill the vacuum between minor ball because there are no juvenile or junior teams in the area where players coming out of minor ball can develop. As for Bill himself. he's more or less retired as an active player. “I don‘t play for the auto body squad but I still turn out with Joe Madden's Super- (Continued on Page 12) RICHMOND HILL INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE GP W L T Pt.

AGES 14 - 15 - 16 - 17 TOWN PARK The Raiders 135 Pounds Insurance Premiums Don Strupat A government study of the effects of inflation on the home building industry recently illustrated the alarm- ing increase in costs by citing several actual examples where it costs more to tear down a building currently than to build it in the first place. That’s a result of a drop in the purchasing power of our dollar that is averaging over 4 percent a year. It is inevitable that this trend affects insurance rates which have risen sharply in the last six years. Here are some reasons why: Doctors’ fees have gone up almost 25 percent and hospital fees have doubled and the settlements for per- sonal injury that rise out of accidents have quadrupled in many cases. Lawyer's fees have risen as much or more than doctor's charges as “ch as the fees of the experts \vho handle the claims along with them. Automobile repairs have generally jumped in third. Windshields average 530 more. trunk lids $25 more. a fender $40 more and front doors are up over 835. Large insurance companies who take in over $200 million a year are claiming they are losing money on the business. What is the answer?

This is the kind of unconscious humor found in letters written by motorists to car dealers. says the BC Automo- bile Association. The BCAA has made a collection of other amusing extracts: . "At the time of reporting this. my wife is expecting and would like your assurance there will be no further mishaps.” “I feel it would be in your interest to exchange this vehicle for my son." “Sometimes this loss of power is so bad that the engine will not idle on full throttle.” “Although I have a new car, I am in fact a menace on the roads." “The engine although tuned. faded. and I lost the engine every time I stopped.“ "Cannot get out of first gear on downhill gradients without dismantling the gearbox." "l was only doing 30 mph at the time when I saw my wheel going on in front of me. It was a severe shock and I hadn't the nerve to drive it fast after that." “I‘ve told all my friends about it and they are just as disgusting as I am."
