.VOL. 96. NO. 9. By FRED SIMPSON uuvv VAIV -. Seems like almost yesterday that the Jewellers scrambled their way to the Canadian Championship in historic Halifax which started off the biggest soft- ball binge (that‘s a nice word. binge) in Richmond Hill for many a year. That was last; season about this time. Now they’re at it again and the presSure is really on with the Jewellers trying to make it over their final big hurdle in order to really prove some- thing they shOLlld have proven already: .â€" '1‘L-....’n 14111115 uch olluulu Aluvv y-.,vv.. .._vr _. That they are true world champions. There’s not a doubt in my mind that they are but they are in the unenviable position of having to prove it every time they throw a glove out on the field. The pressure is really wow THEY'RE ALL AGAINST IT As‘Manager-Coach Russell Cripps so eloquently put it: “Everyone's trying to beat us. We go against a team from Squares-ville Corners and they’re trying to kill us. You have to watch some of these small places. They can surprise you.” That’s about it. Everyone else is up and there’s no way you can get a champion team up for every game. You have to just hOpe you can get them ready for the big ones. To date, Cripps has been able to do it. Almost all of the time anyway. Look at their total record in 1972? They’ve won 40 games and lost but 12. The real biggie, of course. was winning the All-Ontario for the second time in a row in Oshawa. “VHLiuttiufig‘éw wen, vou know the Jewellers. Why do it the easy way when it’s more exciting the hard way? - u 1 to do it again. The key is their pitching and you know all about that. Bob Domik (25 wins. five losses) and Billy Drennan (15 wins, six losses). Add a plus in Wel- land Dycks pick-up pitcher Kenny Bohr and Ted DeRuiter (a lefty thrower but a bigger hitter) and you have to go with Dynes. Pitching in softball is the key day in and day out and in the Edmonton round-robin it should con- tinue to be so. _ .. we" again nu.) Knowing (and suffering) with the Jewellers I figure they’ll win all their games by half-a-run. They are a very frustrating team at times as you sit and wait for their hats to explode and yOu sit, and sit, and sit, and it don’t happen. Oh, it’s frus- trating u. w u... Bou't they win most of the time and that’s where it’s all at. Sport 3p”: Car Talk Buylng a used car. Because many people don't buy their cars new, I thought I'd paSS alone some helpful tips on buying a used car. There are. of course. several ways of doing this. Some people think they’ll get the best deal if they buy a used car privately. Sometime; they‘re lucky. but this method has one major disadvant- SECON D SECTION "n." -V .....q,. 7 age. If you buy your car from a private party.. you won‘t get, one minute of warranty, so the price reflects the chance you‘re taking. Unless you know a lot about cars. the risk usually isn’t worth it. So. let‘s say you decide to buy a used car off a lot. The first. and undoubtedly most important step is to pick a .good dealer. Do that and you‘re halfway name; ignore it and you might be taken so badly you'll wish you‘d spent the money on roller skates. So how do you find a good dealer? Look for one with a reputation for honesty and who offers a warranty ‘on his used cars. Keep your ears open. ask people who have bought the type of car you want and they will steer you in the right direction. Check with the Better Business Bureau. And look for that warranty. Try to get as good a one and as long a car as you can. Now you found the dealer and you spot a car you‘re interested in. Now comes another important part â€" checking over the car.

Coach Ray Kyte transported two of his midget members to Sudbury for the Nickel Belt Invitational Meet and came away with rib- bons and experience. ' Clayton Biglow placed fourth in the Midget 1500 metres and lowered his time to 4.50.2. Clay- ton attempted the 400 and 100 metres prior to the mile race and suffered from exhaustion in the late stages and dropped! to the fourth position, ‘ THIRD IN DISCUS ‘ Coach Kyte placed third in‘ the senior diseus throw although he hadn’t originally intended to compete in any event. He got caught up in the spirit of the day and surprised everyone with his performance with the disc. Einio Borin placed second in the Midget discus with a toss of 737%", just three inches be- hind the first place winner. At the Canadian Champion- ships in Montreal, John Cook and Greg Binkley suffered set- backs in the 400 metre hurdles. Binkley came down with a‘ mysterious virus on Tuesday prior to the meet and could not train for many days and had to: withdraw from competition. ‘ COOK RAN POORLY Steeplechase expert John Cook concedes he ran poorly with a fifth ,place finish in the 30% metre steeplechase. He's ‘still the fifth best junior athlete in Canada at this event.

Collingwood got on the scor- ing trail first within minutes of the start when Rangers de- fence seemed to be caught in a tangle. The visitors continued to press hard until the 15 min- ute mark. That‘s when Richmond Hill got on target with a downfield attack which resulted in Mur- win Evans getting the ball to Horst Oelschlegel who made no mistake to tie the game. Play became quite scrappyi and a_lot of hard tackles result-j ed bringing the toll of injuries to both sides quite high. One‘ Colhnngood player was unable! to resume playing after one col-i lision. The score remained tied at 1.1 until well in the second half with Rangers having sev- eral good opportunities to put the game away. They eventually got the ball into the net when a shot by Ivan Brown hit the inside edge of the cross bar and bounced back to Billy Keenan who rapped 1t back in. There are no games schedul- ed for Labor Day with the next match for Rangers against Bradford at Langstaff Septemâ€" ber 9. Kickoff time is 6 pm.
