By FRED SIMPSON Then comes the joy that goes with Richmond Hill Dynes Jewellers proving to one and all that winning the World's Championship wasn‘t just a sometime thing. Man, it did this poor old heart good to see Bob Domik throw out that last Windsor batter on a bouncer back to him to give Dynes the All-Ontario for the second straight year. He also survived a throxm pitch from Catcher Bob Shel- ston which struck him in the groin in that same first inning.

The pain involves suffering third degree burns (even my voice was scorched) in the afternoon sun. Sunday and then almost coming down with a case of pneumonia at night. It got cold. It looked like a master stroke when Dynes won all. of their first four games. This left them with a bye until the remaining clubs could knock themselves out for the right to meet a considerably fresher Jeweller team. I thought the roof was" going to fall in shortly after that final game began. Here you have the reliable Bob Domik, your big pitcher. getting rapped for two runs and four hits in the first inning. For- get about it. Windsor looked like they were firing howitzers. Loose at bat. Dynes looked strictly shell-shocked at this junc~ ture. But you can't tell with this team. It goes seven innings and looks terrible with the bat and then. bang. five hits and four runs in one inning and you're leading 4-2. Then it's back to grimly hang- ing on to win the rest of the way. And they do hang on thanks to a great diving catch by Joey O'Neill in left field. Not to be. Hames has an injured right wrist which, he says. makes it very painful to even write let alone pitch. So there you have it. One of the best pitchers in the business and he cant pitch. Only a few months ago he was basking in the publicity of being a major cog in helping the Jewellers Win the World Championship. Ah. life. .Then there‘s the case of Mr. Domik. Only a year ago he was sitting on the sidelines watching Billy Drennan carry the whole load as the Jewellers won the AILOntario. That had to be hard to take. This year it's Domik‘s turn and he is back in the‘limelight again. Winning four games, losing none. Billy Drennan undoubtedly pitched his best ball'of the season in winning one and losing one. Billy was outlucked as his team just couldn't get the runs for him. But it was still the two-man combina- tion of Domik and Drennan that made the differ- (Continued on Page 1‘2) Things don’t always work out that way.

Dynes had been lying around for six or seven hours and looked strictly flat against Garrie Nolan and Windsor in that first game which saw the Jewellers shut out 3-0. Windsor was galloping and you just had that feeling Dynes were sagging, were almost on the ropes. They were that fateful one step behind. It gives me great pain and it gives me great joy to state that, yes. I attended the All-Ontario Senior Softball League Tournament over Dominion Day Weekend in Oshawa. GRIM IRONY Couldn't help but wonder at the ironies of it all. One of the better. and certainly the more gallant. teams in the 16-team tournament were the London Dukes. l Hames coached most of the games at first base and you had to wonder about it all as Windsor bombed his hurlers. You expected to see Hames trot out on the mound and take over. The Dukes managed to get all the way to the semi-finals before giving way to Windsor. All this without Ace Chucker Dick Hames. The unpredictable Jewellers came up with another of their Cinderella-like weekend performances as they chalked up five wins in six games enroute to a trip tothe All~Canadian Finals in Edmonton this September.

"They were very dangerous out there with the bats. I was pitch- ing the ball down around and everywhere but they were still hitting it." Domik also felt that the Windsor team “was up for the games and we had trou- ble getting going. I think the long layoff hurt us. We played at noon hour and then sat around until 8 pm. It took the edge off us." Domik. after that shaky first:l inning start, pitched effective ball the rest of the way giving up a total of seven hits. strik- ig out seven. and walking one. ‘ Windsor picked up its final run in the seventh and last in- ning as Earl Dafoe led off with a walk. went to second on an out, and to third as Domik fumbled a ground ball. He then scored on a fielder‘s choice. But Domik got the final man out on a ground'ball back to the mound and it was all over. His opponent, Garrie Nolan, lasted until the third inning when the Jewellers broke through for their four runs of the game on five hits. Nolan was pitching ‘his second straight game after shutting out Dynes 3-0 in the first game Sunday to force the final one. He was re~ placed by Bill Noble who a1-[ lowed but two hits the rest of i the way. Dynes got a total off seven hits altogether. l That third inning saw Brian Ferry start it all off with a single. Domik then aided his That's when Ray Leseard lashed a zinging. sinking line shot to left field which looked like a sure double-run scoring hit. O‘Neill raced in and made a diving catch just before the hall touched ground, tumbled over. and then fired the ball home keeping Penney pinned on third base. Domik then got the next runner on a ground ball to get out of the inning. trouble when George Lund singled Penney to third. Lund then scampered to second on a Domik wild pitch with Penney holding third. Children & Pensioners Dynes Jewellers TEES. JULY 11» Toronto & District Softball League THURS. JULY 6 Time: 8:30 pm.

Decisive blows in this game was Domik's long blast in the third inning to tie the game at 1-1. Reid then got an inâ€" field hit. Chapman singled, and both rode home on Bob‘ Smith's long blast over the fence. Pitcher Drennan then helped his own cause by blooping a single to right to score Reid. McDonald went to third and scored as Smith grounded out. Richmond Hill moved into a 3-2 lead in the fourth as Ferry hit a wrong-field hriple into right and came all the way home on the same play on a throwing error. Dynes scored their final run in the sixth as O’Neill doubled stole third. and came in on Reid's fly. , Welland opened the scoring in the second inning as Ted DeRuiter singled. advanced to second and third on two passed balls and then scored on an error. Oshawa came back with runs in the fifth and sixth but that was it for them. Perhaps the most import- ant win â€" other than the final one. of courseâ€"was the Jewellers’ 4-2 win over a dangerous Welland Club. This game again saw Dynes trailing 1-0 at one stage only to 'come from behind with two runs in the third as Reid singl- ed, went to second on 3 passed ball. Catcher Jack McDonald walked. The Jewellers' second game saw them edging Willowdale 2â€"0 with both their runs com- ing on errors. Domik was the winning pitcher as he picked up his second straight win toss- ing a five-hitter, striking out 10. and walking none. Then came the important 6-3 win over Oshawa Falcons with Domik again going all the way for his third win in a row. He allowed nine hits and walked none. i The same Drennan opened' ‘the tournament for the Jewel~' ‘lers Friday night against North York but didn't figure in the final decision which went to Domik who replaced him in the. eighth inning with the score tied at 2-2. Losing pitcher was Dwight Vandermeer who pitch- ed a good game and deserved ia better fate. i That game saw North York take a 1-0 lead in the third in- ‘ning on hits by Jim Macey and George Dickey. Vandermeer then helped his own cause by hitting a homerun off Drennan in the seventh to apparently seal the game for North York.

For about $5,000 a classic car enthusiast can now buy a kit and build him- self a brand new “vintage” racer from all new parts. Or. for a few thousand dollars more, teammates Boris Willison, age 26, and Ryder Sloan. age 35. will assemble the dream car for you. Officially called the “Dri- Sleeve", the new creation has .11 the lines and char- acter of the Bugatti of auto history’s golden days. One real difference is the In price compared with original Bugattis now bringing up to $65,000 from dedicated collectors in the United Kingdom. The “new” Bugatti â€"â€" that is the Dri-Sleeve â€"â€" looks exactly like the original. But. it has modern radial tires and lightweight magnesium wheels. and it's powered by a Ford Cortina 1600 c.c. GT engine with a Ford trans- mission and gearbox. It can hit 60 mph from a stand- still in just under ten seconds. Top speed is just a shade over 100 m.p.h., or slightly faster if you use the supercharger. I was interested in added extras that come with the new "vintage" car â€" brown leather helmet and goggles for the men, and white leather helmet and goggles for the women. Never Say Die I've always known many people become attached to their cars. but, here’s one that went all the way. John Aldershot, 82. of Ipswich. England. was recently buried seated bolt upright at the wheel of his Vintage Austin Seven. Newspaper reports from that country noted that Mr. Aldershot stipulated in his will that he be buried at the wheel. “She's been more faithful to me than any woman. In fact, I never found any faith- ful woman in my life. No one will ever own her. She's been my friend." It sounded to me as if his slogan must have been: "Good cars never die, they just get buried."
