Morley has been around the Richmond Hill Scene with Kent Clothes Intermediate and Junior teams for the past six or seven years but has never come up with the big winner although coming close on a couple of occasions. Maybe this year? No predictions. Moe just plays them a game at a time. But you’ve got to have hope. you’ve got to have heart. Maybe the next win is just around the corner, maybe. ‘ murmummm“ "H" a big in juvenile but he’s been I having it rough in Junior. You’ve got to hope thmgs will get better.” . Morley's equally impressed by another Winter time hockey star by the name of Colin Wood who formerly played with the Richmond Hill Legion lVIidgets and then with London in the Junior “A” oop. Aaaaah, to add a little femin touch to the man. Moe is the father of three children, Daynex 23, Bonnie 22, Duncan 13. His wife's name is Doris. Moe teaches school at Aurora. resides at 278 Spring Garden in Willowdale. So there you are. The well- wounded, friendly coach. He has to be impress- 1ve If for Slze alone. Moe also is high on Stirrat who is pitching his first year as a junior after impressing as a juvenile. A local mam- Morléy is high on is none other than Daryl Rice who approaches softball much in the manner as he approaches hockey. He came to play. “He’s a big one,” says Moe shaking his head. “The kid‘s 16 and he weighs about 250 pounds.” Consistency is something Morley is looking for {and hasn’t got at the moment in the way of a solid Ineup. ‘ “I’ve got some real, top-rate individual players if I can only put the hitting and pitching together some night. Some night we score 10 runs, get 12 hits, but the opposition gets 11 runs, 13\ hits. I never get discouraged by the losses." claims Morley stoutly. “I just tell the ‘guys to go out there and do their thing. You hang in there and the wins will come. I think they’re starting to come. We should be ready for the OASA Playoffs." "I think we can beat out'Dunbal-ton. We just have to keep in there. You play it a game at a time." he said. “Daryl is a rugged competitor and a real tough hitter." states Morley. “I don't think he‘s played organized ball for a number of years but he's a nat- ural out there. He just stands up there and takes his c_u_ts _and he's been hitting consistently." In the meantime. his group of young hopefuls are battling it out for the last and final playoff positign with Dunbarfon. Martin continues to impress on the mound but has a tendency to be wild. He might get 15 strikeouts but comes up with those bad innings at the wrong time and the runs tend to come in bunches. Another individual star is Barry Upshaw who leads the team in homeruns with four. He's a left fielder. Then there‘s catcher Paul Turley who is another familiar hockey face with the Richmond Hill Junior B Rams. He's a hustler too. _ “Colin has to be the best defensive infield around.” he said. “He’s great on double plays. has a fantastic arm. He gets his share of hits. too." Will Moe's team become a big winner this season, a Cinderella team? A cautious cough comes from Moe and he goes on to carefully assess the situation, takes a realistic look at a very realistic world. Moe's biggest problem at the moment is his pitching staff which, I suppose, is understandable with a young team. NO DOLEFUL TYPE But is he a doleful-type loser? Not Moe. He fairly reeks of optimism. There it is. The walls are tumbling down about his ears but he points his head bravely into the wind and pushes stoutly on. A born optimist. “We entered a junior tournament in Oshawa recently." he said, “and I didn’t feel we were out of place. On a given day I think we can beat most of them.” ' “I’fi1 qulte high on fellows like Martin Cook and Scotty Stirrat,” states Moe, “but you just have to hang in there and be patient? VOL. 95, NO. 5 “Of course we've gotten off to a rocky start,” he aclmowledges. "but we’re a first year junior team and it takes awhile to get the movegdown pat.” ‘_ _ By FRED SIMPSON Which brings me around to the subject at hand which is affable Moe Morley of the Richmond Hill Kent Clothes Juniors of the Richmond Hill and District Fastball League. 7 Moe at the monient has to be classified as a loser. At writing, his fledgling junior squad has won something like three games, tied one, and lost 12. I suppose the surest way of turning out to be a loser is to stick around the world for a long time. Be patient, it‘ll get to you sooner or later. But it's surely true that some people just seem to trot through the world being a Winner while others stumble from one disaster to the next. Me? I like to be prepared for trouble, be ready to take that loss sooner or later. So I go out and train to be a loser. I'm the best-trained loser around these parts. _ . I. H I H "E * 9 SPORTS Sport Spots To The Losers, Bless . . NEVER GET DISCOURAGED HE'S BIG RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1971 Terry Tflson started for Dunbarton but departed in the fourth following the homers by McIntyre and Cook. Gary Latchford took over and allowed just four hits over the last seven frames. Rents collected 10 in all. Dunbarton managed six. The three players who hit homers led Kents at bat. each adding an additional safety to their four base blasts. Mc~ Intyre had a triple. Wood a dou- ble and Cook a single to make no their two hit totalsi Darinv Descheves led Dunbarton with a triple and single. In Monday’s tie at Pickering the Kent crew had jumped into a 3-0 lead by the fourth inning. ‘Scotty Stirrat singled in the first inning and scored on a pair of Dunbarton throwing er- rors. Don McIntyre and Pit- cher Marty Cook hit back-to- back homers in the fourth to in- crease their total to three. The opposition counted one in the bottom of the same sta’n- za on a single by Gary Latch- ford and Carlo Palumbo's triple. Don McIntyre's triple was the Clothiers‘ big blow in the fifth. It scored Daryl Rice who had reached first on an error and restored the Clothiers’ three-run lead. This margin was shortlived as Dunbarton narrowed the gap with a pair in the bottom of the same inning. Bill Copping‘s sin- gle. Danny Deschenes’ triple and a Cock wild pitch did the damage. Dunbarton rallied in the eighth to knot the count and left the bases loaded, failing to score further due to the bril- liant relief pitching of Robbie Clephan. Clephan relieved starter Cook with the score 5-4. bases loaded and nobody out. He walked in the tying run after reaching a 3-2 count. The payoff pitch seemed to be on the inside corner but the umpire didn't see it that way and the game was 5-5. Clephan then proceeded to strike out Palumbo. got Terry Tilson to pop up and Cupping to ground out to end the inning without further damage and pitched two further hitless and scoreless in- nings until the game was called by the 11 pm curfew in Picker- ing. - Colin Wood’s home run blast in the sixth was the final Kent run and left the score at 5-3. Tuesday of last week in the Hill the Kentsmen assaulted Dunbarton starter Ian Hender- son and his successor Terry Tilson for a total of 14. hits and nine runs. then sat back and watched a 9-4.» lead evaporate to a 9-7 edge as the visitors rallied for three runs in the eighth inning. Clephan. for the second successive night ap- peared on the scene to put out the fire and maintain the ma:- gin through the ninth and thus enable the Kent club to pull into a tie in the standings with their opposition. Scotty Stirrat started for Kents and twirled seven and twmthirds innings a1- lowing just six hits He was credited with the “in. Clell‘hfi!’l allowed just one hit, by the first In last week's action the 10- cals helped themselves by re- cording a 5-5 tie with Dunbar- ton in a game played Monday might in Pickering. At home Tuesday they hung on. to post la 9-7 verdict over the same op- iposition. Thursday evening they dropped their fifth Sraight to Aurora Rolling Hills by a 6-3 count. The Kentsmen seem jinxed when playing the Aurora team. All games have been in question until the late innings but the locals have always come out on the short end of the score. Jinxed By Aurora Kents Win, Lose 8. Tie, Battle For Playoff Spot Richmond Hill Kent Clothes Juniors, despite a poor season’s record, are still very much in the running for a playoff spot in the five team Richmond Hill and District Major Fastball League. Four teams make it and the Clothiers and Dunbarton are at present tied with only the rained-out and postponed games left to play. Unionville, Bradford and Aurora are out of sight. ROBBIE CLEPBAN Brilliant Relief Work vrbatter he faced. John Brooks" - who lashed a line drive to left ‘ centre and ended up on third. His hit scored the visitors‘ sev- enth and final run as the ace Kent reliefer struck out danger- ous Carlo Palumbo to end the inning. Clephan set Dunbarton down 1. 2, 3 in the ninth to secure the victory. Scotty Stirrat led the winners with four hits including a double. Colin Wood tossed in with three safeties. The big blast of the game, however, was Barry Up- shaw‘s grand slam home run which highlighted Kent's six run fourth inning. Upshaw, also :had a single. No Dunbarton ibatter managed more than one .hit. Each player scored with Wood and Chris Nye plating three runs followed by Craig Stoness, Lorne Davidson, Steve Madden and Pete Tipold with two apiece. Scoring single runs were Dennis Kane. Inch. Bob Barclay and Robbie Bryan. Madden, Davidson. Kane and Stoness each knocked in one run. A key play in this one. came in the bottom of the first with two out for Aurora and a run- ner on third and free-swinging Bob Clubine at bat. Clubine crossed up the Clothiers by dropping a surprise bunt and legging it out to first base. Mike Smith. who was on third scored on the play and the stage was set for O'Brien to crack down his two run four-bagger. Con- cievably, with Clubine hitting away, the Kentsmen could have been out of the inning without a run having been scored, as it was they were down 3-0. The winners made it '6-0 be- fore Kents started pecking} away in an effort to make it close. managing two markers in the seventh and a singleton in the eighth as a result of Donj McIntyre's home run. No Kent player managed more than one‘ hit. Leading the pitching end of it was Ted Inch who scattered nine hits in chalking up his fourth straight win. After falling behind 2-0 in two innings. the Baker hats boomed as they lashed out 14 hits and coasted to their 13th straight win in league play. Phil Wood's Hitting Leads Baker's To Win Phil Wood knocked in five runs on a homerun, triple and single Monday night of last week as Richmond Hill Baker‘s Sales and Service Squirts romp- ed to an 18-6 win over Stouff- ville.

BATTING LEADERS Pete Tipold Ross Querengesser Steve Madden Greg MacMillan Dennis Kane Chris Nye Ted Inch R055 Thursday the juniors visited Aurora to take on the Rolling Hills outfit and came away vic- timized by Aurora Pitcher Bruce OBrien. who not only held Kents to six hits and-three runs, but also blasted two home runs. one with a man on base which accounted for the Rolling Hills' margin of victory, final score being 6-3. Querengesser Ted Inch L. Davidson Pete Wood Martin Cook went all the way for Kents and was touched for 10 hits. O‘Brien‘s homers being by far the most damaging. Tuesday.

A hunter wishing to hunt pheasants. foxes and rabbits must be in possession of a town- ship hunting licence in addition to the provincial,licence. The birds are usually released at about 10 weeks of age. but in some areas 60% are held for re- lease just prior to and during the game season. This provides the hunter with a greater harvest. It is expected there will be a good batch of wild pheasants this year because of the small amount 9f precipitation in May and June so there will be a large number of targets during the pheasant season this fall. Dynes Win Twoâ€"l-O, 3-2 Bob Domik Pitches Perfect Game Ontario's most sought-after upland game bird is the ring- necked pheasant which is again being distributed throughout the southern part of the Maple dis» trict of the Department of Lands and Forests. A total of chicks, poults and stock birds are be- ing distributed to the regulated township authorities and game clubs for raising and releasing in pheasants habitat areas which are open to hunting. Lots Of Targets For '7] Pheasant Season The large crowd of fans welcomed Bob Domik back to the mound with a. heart-warming ovation and Domik reciprocated by hurling a perfect game to give Dynes a 1-0 first game win. Bob struck. out 12 end allowed no Detroit batter to reach first as a rejuvenated team backed him up flawlessly on the field. Domik also accounted for his team’s only run with a single in the bottom of the fifth inning which drove in Bob Shelton. Dynes’ line score was one run, seven hits and no errors. Dynes Jewellers broke a four-game losing streak Sunday afternoon as they hosted Detroit Cole & Erwin Jewelers in a doubleheader at the town park and took both games. Rinks of local bowlers walked away with the We top prizes at the Richmond Hill Lawn Bowling Club’s mixed doubles tournament on Sunday. Well known local lawn bowler Jim Grainger, who is vice-chairman of the On- tario Lawn Bowling Asso- ciation and Don Carphin. past president of the asso- ciation from Port Credit teamed up to take first prize in the doubles of the Western Ontario Bowling Association Tournament held in London all last week.
