Sport / Spots VOL. 95; NO. 21. By FRED SIMPSON “Don't bother using my first name because no one knows it around here. They call me Cap. That's my first name." “And whatever you do, don't go mentioning my age. Age doesn’t matter.” He uttered both the above comments with an unmistakable twinkle in his eyes so I‘m going to say that he's a very young-looking 71. One thing I won’t do is call him by any other name than Cap from here on in. ' There were a few things to get straightened out before we got down to talking about his particâ€" ipation in softball in Oak Ridges for the past 20 years. He's recently retired as equipment manager for the local ball association. Dear Mr. Editor: The recent benching of mid- get hockey players for not par- ticipating in a Christmas Cake drive to aid minor hockey opens up a whole new area of hope for frustrated hockey parents. No longer will “Hockey Dad" have to spend money on sum- mer long hockey schools, power and speed skating lessons. train- ing programs. and top flight equipment.

Richmond Hill. {Paul Terry And when Cap says there are no bad kids in Oak Ridges he's not passing an opinion. He means there are “no had kids in Oak Ridges. There might be had kids in other places but there are none here." A determined shake of white hair, an equally determined puff from the mild cigar he‘s smoking, and that’s the end of that question. For example â€"â€" goal tenders to qualify must sell 25 cakes which is low “hen compared with the glory spot, centre ice “There are no had kids in Oak Ridges." The speaker is Edward “Cap” Hallman and he's talking from behind a cigar which is always ready to jump back into his mouth soon after the last word has left it. I was talking to Cap in his upstairs apartment over the Post Office in the heart of Oak Ridges where he has lived since coming off the boats in 1948. He has operated a gasoline station and was postmaster for “a lot of years” before he retired in 1968. Although Cap has been around the ball scene in Oak Ridges for over 20 years you get the impres- sion he‘s not really. that much of a ball fan. He's really a children's fan. To put is simply, he loves them. “I can recall back around 1949 when I would take 30 kids over to the ball diamond. We’d have a few bats. a ball. and we’d have ourselves a, game. I didn't even 'know how to play it myself when we started. In fact I've never played ball in my life. LOTS OF FUN "It was a lot of fun. That's what it was. Fun. I was everything out there. I was the manager, the coach. I was even the umpire. I wasn't a very good umpire. mind you. but it didn’t really matter. We were having a lot of fun.” girls “The girls were sort of left out in those days,” he said. "It was a case of trying to play with the boys or not playing at all. So I got the girls together and got them playing ball." (Continued on Page 14) 0F CAKES AND HOCKEY PLAYERS Cap had and has a particular affection for the SECON D SECTION No Bad Kids, Here THE NAME IS ‘CAP’ 7 SPORTS which could be won with a quota of 100 cakes. Right wing- ers are 75-cake men, while good defencemen must peddle 60 cakes to make the squad. A new language is about to be born, no longer will goals be the thing, cakes have ar- rived. "Willy Wonderful" will be described as a 150-cake man. while Sammy Stickwielder was cut from the team because he was only a 25-caker. I must congratulate the minor hockey association for coming up with this unique method of selecting players. It all but eliminates the need for RICHMOND HILL. ONTARIO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18. 1971 EStill Undefeated Coach Karl Brimbl‘ecombe said in a post game interview that "we had trouble with them for the first period but from there on we started pulling away;" . 1Rams Tumble Dixie Beehives By 7-3 Richmond Hill Rams contin- ued to make. like Old Man River in the Metro Junior loop Sunday as they dumped third place Dixie Beehives 7-3 right in their own backyard. They just keep rolling along. It was their 13th straight league win without a defeat. They’ve won 10 games and tied three for 23 points and They’ve won 10 gamt tied three for 23 poin first place in the league He said that the" Dixie team "tried to outmuscle us and that was their mistake. There just is no one who is going to beat us at rough play. I‘ve_got some [guys who revel in it." The Rams showed themselves superior to Dixie at even strength but found themselves ‘in trouble as the result of )drawing 12 penalties to six for lDixie. Included in this latter cate- gory in Sunday's hard-hitting contest were Defenceman Steve Lyon. Wayne Stokes. and Bill and Dick Weber who held their own in the roughing depart- ment. ' Two goal men for Richmond Hill were Randy MacDonald and Lyon. Both goals by Lyon came on enemy passes he intercepted at the blue line and whistled the ‘puck high into the corner. Craig Tefry: Craig Terry from Colp and Fred Doyle; and Paul Terry from Craig Terry. The first goal by MacDonald trom Bill Weber came with Richmond Hill one man short. Ditto the ones by Colp from Rice and Craig Terry; and one from Paul Terry from brother Craig. Larry Patey. Paul Sawyer. and Tom Price scored for Dixie with each goal coming while Rams were a man short. Other goal scorers for Rich- mond Hill were Steve Colp, Richmond Hill led 3-2 at the end of the first period 5â€"2 go- ing into the third. Goaliei Gary Carr came up with a brilliant effort in the Richmond Hill nets as the Bee- hivers directed 43 shots at him. One Ram goal was scored while Dixie was Shorthanded.

Mon. to Thurs. 0 Fri. & Sat. ’til 6 NEILL CAR-CAR TIPS .V Don Little Ford's service manager As this is the first of a series of articles which I have planned for future editions, 1 would like to introduce myself. I was born and educated in Richmond Hill. my parents having lived here for a number of years prior to that. My wife and daughter and I still live locally, my only absence being while serving in the R.C.A.F. during the Second World War. Cars have always been a part of my life as my father was a Model "T" Ford mechanic in Richmond Hill in early years. Later he operated his own garage business where I reluctantly pumped gas and greased cars after school and on weekends while other boys my age were out romping around. I joined 'Littles’ in March of 1946 after my discharge from the service where I have remained ever since. Being closely associated with the modern day automobiles. and the complexity of their pollution control devices, there is a greater responsibility on the shoulders of the garage operator and his technicians. I recently read an article in Canadian Automotive Trade Magazine which said that the most important piece of equipment a good tune-up technician uses is his brain. Even the best of equipment is practically useless if the man using it hasn‘t got the capacity to think. But a man who can think and has the training to do so coupled with sophisti- cated test equipment is a pretty powerful combination. A computer designed to do what a man‘s brain can do with good testing equipment would be so huge that a large building would have to be built along side the tune-up bay to house it. A mechanic with a good brain still needs training to show him the most efficient way to get the most out of his time and equipment To do this the mechanic should take advantage of training which the equipment manufacturers-offer. The ‘m’o’de’r’fi {line-uh meclfanic or technician should take advantage of every clean air clinic which is held in his community. A well trained mechanic is still the man best able to battle automotive pollu- tion at its source â€" the untuned automobile. Just remember that a tune-up specialist is a pretty important man. At Don Little Ford Sales Limited we are constantly upgrading our technicians and have recently scheduled some clean air clinics for our sales staff in order for them to become more capable of explaining the latest emission control systems and their effects to the motoring public while demonstrating or delivering a new vehicle. by DOE REID DON LITTLE FORD= RICHMOND HILL â€" 889-1105 DATSUN NOW AVAILABLE WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ‘ ‘ ‘ IMMEDIATE DELIVERY ‘ ‘ ’ QEbt liberal LTD.
