,VOL. 95, NO. 9. By FRED SIMPSON You ask Bob for an opinion on something to do with sports and you end up getting his along with everyone else's. He’s an Argo fan but they “still come up with some dumb-head plays, they’ll blow it again.” and so on. ‘ SPORTS The Jewellers losing two-straight to Newmarket ‘in the first'round of the OASA Senior "A" Play- downs? Surely this calls for an inquest. There's got to be foul play afoot somewhere. But, sadly: it‘s all true. The Jewellers teimply got beat by a better team. They were outpltched, outhit. out everything in this series. And, isn‘t that the way it goes? On top in May, shot down in July. You inherit a million dollars, you get run over by a G0 bus. I got to 20 find some 17‘ ‘ ‘ L?" ,w “But they’ve got to smarten up,” he added.

He was sitting in a local restaurant the day after the Jewellers had lost out to Newmarket giving his usual coffee the usual rough time. His name? Robert Ross Jr. But there’s one 1l%ll()\\' who still has some faith left in the Jewellers be- ing‘ resurrected in time to win the All-Canadian in Halifax on Labor Day. “I still think those (censored) will win it in Halifax." he said as some of his worried cof- fee spilled over onto the saucer.

LACKS PATIENCE “I think this will be my last year as coach," he said. I have to admit I don‘t have the patience.” But then he’ll add. “But we’re not doing bad right now. We're in third place, we won a close one the other night." Bob’decided to sponsor and coach a team two years ago after some coaxing from former Rich- moncl Hill Jeweller player Bill "Skip" DeGeer. It wasn’t exactiy it new experiénce for 29 year- old Bob. He used to help out with coaching a. minor league team back in 1959 prior to his almost-fatal accident which has left him disabled ever since. “I like coaching but some of those kids can make you end up talking to yourself. They’re about eight or nine years and it‘s sometimes tough to get them to do what you want. That's where I some- times Iose patience. I figure you got a glove. you catch the ball. It doesn‘t always work out that way with them.” Bob has had further troubles. One of his main pitchers went on holidays and hasn‘t been back smce. This _d_o_esn't help. either.

The tourney got underway around 10:00 am with a backdrop of blue sky and brilliant sunshine. 1 However as the morning’s play wore on, the sun departed and ominous dark clouds replaced. the earlier clear vista. Shortly after 1:00 pm a terrific wind came up. accompanied in due course by a steady downpour of rain. The shower was of the ‘steady, unyielding variety and it became quite apparent that no further play could be con- ducted that day. Tournament Co-Ordinator Phil Blanchard thus declared that the event would continue Sunday from the point of stoppage, all re- sults up to the point of post- ponement standing as com- pleted.

They hit four home runs in the two games. 7 Dynes’ hitting was anaemic most of the way and especially in the clutch hitting depart- ment. Big hitters in that final game were Kinnersly and O’Neill with four base blows neither of which came with men on base. Standing out in a defen- sive role for the Jewellers was young Reid who came up with some outstanding defensive stabs at shortstop as well as coming through with a triple in three offi- clal times at bat. Drennan. who fared less well at the hands of the Newmarket bats, still managed to come up with 15 strikeouts. Wise hunters will avoid this rush by attending the early September course, which will be conducted by Lou Romhanyi, of Rexdale, and George Calver. area superintendent at Cold Creek. The pitching combination of Pegg and Lunney accounted for nine Richmond Hill strike outs. Lunney struck out five of the nine. « Hunter Safety Course Cold Creek, Septlst.
