The only time I missed a round was when I attempted to jump off the Peace Tower but was talked out of it. In any case I got home 30 minutes ahead of the plane‘ l_ waspn which was really something. AI All kidding aside it was a fantastic day as the Jewellers were feted by everyone concerned. It's almost impossible to describe the feeling it gave you to realize that all this homage was strictly for the benefit of a group of guys from Richmond Hill. Just unreal. GOLD MEDAL It was the first time I think it really registered on me what the Dynes team had accomplished. It doesn’t happen every dav. This team had brought home one of only two Gold Medals copped in world competitions by Canadian athletes. The only other Gold Medal was won by a Montreal swimmer by the name of George Athens. The Jewellers also attended a reception as thrown by members of the Hull Volants Team which competed in the All-Canadian Tournament in Hali- fax last Labor Day. It was the Hull Catcher, Pierre Boivan. who was picked up by the Jewellers along with Pitcher Dick Hames of London TV Cable. Sure, I’ve attended parties from noonhour to midnight before. Just never been able to finish one that’s all. But I did it Friday in Ottawa. What a bash. Amen. Sorry you missed it. The one I’m talking about, of course, was the biggie the government threw for the 1972 World Softball Champion Richmond Hill Dynes Jeweller‘s. Host for the day was Barney Danson. Liberal MP for York North, along with the newly organized Sports Canada organization which operates inde- pendently of the government although sponsored by it. It was this body which did the wining and dining and also presented portaits to each member of the Dynes souad. The portraits depicted a statue named “The Athlete.” VOL. 95, NO. 44.

Trudeau fondled the ball, then made a quick pitch which caugh/t Manager Russell Cripps blinking. It bounced off his shoulder as he ducked. This was obviously the highlight of the day. Yeah, the guy's a star, quite a guy. Trudeau is the only other guy in Canada capable of competing on an equal basis with Bobby Orr. I mean it. The guy‘s a star. Mr. Trudeau was pre- sented with an autographed ball by Dynes’ batboy Paul Philip in an impromptu ceremony outside the Parliament Buildings. This will’be their first game in the Ontario- Michigan Fastball League. The league will feature a number of Saturday and Sunday doubleheaders against such teams as London, Windsor.

All in all a great day. Just one more comment: There’s nothing like winning to be recognized. The Jewellers, by win- ning, helped bring amateur sports into the spotlight and certainly helped softball as a whole.
