Occasion was the annual On- tario-Michigan Awards banquet at which the top 1971 teams and individual players were feted. The Jewellers received an es- pecialhr glowing speech from League President George Mah- ler who praised the team for its efforts all season long under adverse conditions. “Domik,” he said, “after be- ing suspended most of the sea- son in this league and OASA play. was just out of shape, and when it came time to do his part â€"- God only knows he tried â€"â€" but what can a guy be expec- ted to do after laying off so long. “I hope his problems are sol- ved at the O$A convention this April." Pointing to the Jeweller's pit- ching duo of Billy Drennan and Bob Domik, Mahler paid tribute to both. 0n Drennan: “This was the; guy who almost singlehandedly} led Richmond Hill to the win- ners circle in the All-Ontario in; Newmarket. 1 “If memory serves me correct-‘ 1y," he said, “he threw everyi game and some real thrillers1 too. It seemed that Billy and his team always rose to the oc- casion when they had to â€" just to prove something to someone or some persons, that Richmond Hill would win despite the han- dicap of being without their ace pitcher Domik. Perhaps they played harder for Bob, too." Dick flames: “He pitched great ball for Richmond Hill. The big righthander pitched On- tario to three shutout victories on the final day as Dynes clin- ched the tournament with a per- fect 6 and 0 record. For a minute there I thought I’d made a wrong turn and ended up at a Bingo game. Needless to say, the Rams topped it off with a thrilling‘come-from- behind 4-4 tie to send everyone home happy. I’m always afraid thé team is goifié'to bomb out. It happens that way in life. But not this time. He showed me the booklet and it was full of childish scrawls all saying “Farewell to Cap” and there were crude sketches of him in his seaman’s outfit with that cigar sticking out of his mouth. As Cap Will tell you: “There are no had kids in Oak Ridges.” How about that 'crowd at the Richmond Hill 'Arena the other night for the game between the Rams and Markham? I actually had to line up in order to get into the gate. 14 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, Nov. 18, 1971 But, not urprisingly, the conversation always ends back at t e children. He tells you about the time he retired as post- master in 1968 and how the children from Oak Ridges Public School paid him a farewell. “They presented me with a booklet of drawings with their names and grades on each of the pages. I’ve still got it here. I prize it above all my posses- sions.” Maybe not any time with this squad. As each game passes it becomes more obvious that the Rams have a good crew. A right smattering of veterans and rookies. The thing is the veterans are good and so are the rookies. Makes for an ideal combin- ation. Isn’t it great to be on a winner for a change? I’m just not used to it. Don’t know how to conduct myself. I even get excited watching the game. Drink my hotdogs, eat my coffees, and do all kinds of kooky things. Man, it’s great. DOUG ACOMB See by the papers that Doug Acomb of Rich- mond Hill, recently retired from the professional combats, is the leading scorer with Barrie in the Ontario Hockey Association Senior A scoring rgce. Cap has; also beén a mémBer of the Oak Ridges Lions Club for 21 years and he can tell you a lot about that too. He retired in 1948 and came to Oak Ridges with his wife (she died two years ago) and one daughter to “get away from the sea. I lost two brothers on the boats and I wanted to get away from it after that. Imagine an ex-captain of a lake boat coming to Oak Ridges and peddling gas?” » _ _ ___ Doug, whc; started with the Marlie Juniors, has 20 points on nine goals a_nd _117_Vassisvts. DYNES JEWELLERS Incidentally, opposition for the Jewellers at Manila in February will be the United States, Phil- ippines, Mexico, Japan, Australia. New Zealand, Ber- muda, Puerto Rico, South Africa, Virgin Island, Netherlands, and others. “We’re bigger now. we’re part of Richmond Hill,” he said. “You need more people, younger people to run things. I sometimes feel it’s not as much fun as it used to be. It’s a little too organized for my liking.” It’s almost impossible to talk to Cap without Wandering onto the subject of his sea-faring days which saw him captain of his own lake freighter at the age of 25. r TIMES CHANGE' Cap admits that times do change and maybe, just maybe the Oak Ridges scene has left him a little behind. “It’s funny,” he said in between pausing to take a predictable puff from that cigar. “I see the child- ren of the mothers I used to watch playing ball themselves. Makes you realize how much time has gone by." “I decideélwtewretrire this year," he said. “Let some of the younger people take over. I’ve had my run. Of course, I’ll be around.” Continued from Page 13) Cap also managed an Oak Ridges Intermediate Women’s Team for the “Moms” in those days. They played in the old KVW (King, Vaughan, Whit- church) League and Cap’s team won the champion- ship one year. rSo Vitu weh’c. Cap has always been somewhere around the ball picture in Oak Ridges because that’s where the children were.

EXHIBITION GAME Quarterback Paul Duncan had to call on his work horse, Hugh Cutler, to win this last game for Bayview as Hughie powered off tackle for 20 yards to score the touchdown that proved to be the winner. There was some concern late in the game when Dave Brillin- ger was helped off the field with an ankle injury to rob Bayviéw of a fast back for the last five minutes. Defensive Captain Mike Graydon filled in for the injured halfback and performed very capably. ' The Langstaff team. liber- ally staffed with players from the local town league showed surprising strength to hold the bruisers from Bayview to one touchdown. Glen Pembleton, Jim Lessiff and Bruce Bailey played well for the disappoint- ed Langstaff twelve. to see more than 10 yards in any direction. Mike Graydon’s appearance on offense brings up the em- barrassing question why he hasn’t been, used more often to spark the attack when things bog down. $5 .0 snow m REGULAR A final note of thanks to the officials who have labored all season in the expanded league with the increased number of games in rain, sunshine, and freezing cold.

Langstaff Secondary’s four winning members were Nancy Brown, Lorraine Deskay, Gail Neal and Laura Anderson who topped the poll with 85 points out of a possible 100 to edge Bayview and Thornhill for best cheering in 1971.
