Domik wondered aloud about whether he had any desire to go profesional at his still-young but not exactly rookie age of 29. Softball is the type of game that exists on a local level with little interest at a national level. I don’t think (but I could be wrong) a Toronto team would be able to draw enough fan support to make their new team a viable one financially. People love to watch a softball game but they just won‘t go out of their way to do so as they would an NHL hockey game. Softball just isn‘t that big of a draw around here. Mr. Cripps and Mr. Domik, of course, are still receiving official acclaim for winning the World’s 'Softball Championship in Manila earlier this year. “Turning professional needs quite a bit of thinking about,” said Domik. “You might say I’m doing some ‘listening’ as of the moment but not seriously. I can say they offered me a lot of money but there’s more to life than just money.” Domik added that “they say there’s nothing more to win when you’ve won the world champ- ionship but I disagree. The only thing better than that is winning it twice which is something I would like to be around to do in 1976 when the world championships are held again." As for my own opinion of the new league? It’s definitely an intriguing idea but I, personally, don’t think it would go over at least in Toronto. Softball just doesn’t stir the imagination of the people and certainly not the imagination of the local dailies. Even the fact the Jewellers were playing for the world championship in Manila was only good enough for a three or four inches most of the time. I would be inclined to agree with him al- though it never pays to be dead certain about anything in this world. Look what they said about the World Hockey Association. Never get off the ground, eh? “How do I know for sure if the league will go over? It might fold halfway through the season and I’d be out in the cold with no amateur statuf and no pro team around?” Speaking of Dynes, both Manager Russ Cripps and Pitcher Domik were among the upteen honored guests last night (Wednesday) at the annual Ontario Sports Achievement Awards Ban- quet at Queens Park. The other was Andreas Penninger. Andreas, I confess, is a new name to me but the publicity blurb identifies him as a handball athlete. Def- initely more on Andreas later. Manager Cripps didn’t have too much to say on the subject but such happening would cer- tainly cause him a few hours of discomfiture. But I got the feeling that he figures the new professional league might be more of a pipe dream than a real one at least as far as the local Toronto entry is concerned. x I talked to Domik about his plans and as of right now he figures to be back in the Dynes line-up for 1973 although he admits to being "flattered" by being number one draft choice. Six other clubs in the league were also after him. There’s yef another reason why Domik would like to stick around in the green-and-white uni- form of the Jewellers. “They’ve been good to me and I can’t tell you what a feeling it was in winning the World Softball championship in Manila. It's a little corny but it‘s true that you just can’t describe your feeling when they raised the Canadian flag over there.” Domik’s name certainly didn't help Cripps’ digestive system and it obviously didn’t improve as he later learned that other Jewellers drafted included such luminaries of last year’s team as Derek Kinnersley, Georgie Chapman, Joe O’Neill, Les Downing, Billy Drennen, who likely will be lining up with Newmarket Rays next season (hav; ing recently moved there), Jack McDonald. and Bob Shelston. By FRED SIMPSON Naturally, the currently reigning World Softball Champion Jewellers came in for special scrutjfw from Alex Stanley of the Toronto entry. Heading the draft list was Ace Chucker Bob Domik who, at 29, is one of the best in Canada and likely a good candidate for the same honors in the United States. What I’m referring to, of course, is that story out of New Cumberland, Pa., regarding the forming of a new professional softball league comprising eight teams including ones from Toronto and Montreal. Richmond Hill Dynes Jewellers’ Manager Russell “Casey” Cripps was heard to choke on his “Special K” bowl of cereal one morning last week. A few of the crispie kernels went down the wrong way as he discovered by way of the morn- ing Globe and Mail that he'd lost every ballplayer except the bat boy and even he was reported wavering.

FINALLY Gulp.‘ 7 1151):: liberal RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1972 II The Rams as a whole have been exhibiting a lot of scoring punch combined with steady defensive play Iinspired by the presence of oalie Gary Carr who has the best goals-against percentage in the league by a light year. Carr and his mates have surrendered but 57 goals in 22 games to date. The near- est club to this is Weston with 78 goals against in 21 games. It's difficult for Brimble- combe to stifle a Chortle when he also mentions that one of the team's highest scoring forwards before be- ing injured was Cralg Terry. "Craig's broken ankle is on the mend now and I hope to have him in the line-up in a week or two. That‘s a loss of scoring power sitting on the sidelines." The Rams also got a good efort from Clement who scored his first goal in a Richmond Hill uniform. Cle- ment started the season with the Richmond Hill Legion Midgets but expects to re- main with the Rams the re- mainder of the season. Brimblecombe feels his team is 'pretty well set for the season with his offence an ddefence coming up with some eo-ordinated play in recent games. He‘s been getting some excellent performances lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll‘ "Sharpley has been com- ing on stronger every game," he said. “We knew he had the goods and now he's start- ing to show it. He's a 90 percenter all the way." Sharpley's big assets are a hard. accurate shot plus an uncanny ability at winning face-offs which is a very vital asset to any team. ‘He wins all the face-offs. It's as simple as that." said Brimblecombe. Brimblecombe is ecstat- ic about the entire line comprising Sharpley. Bob Bangay and Greg Binkley. Coach Karl Brimblecombe was happy with the perform- ance of Hartman but partic- ularly the play of Sharpley. Mike Hartman led the on- slaught with a three goal performance in one of his best performances of the season. He was followed by Glen Sharpley With two goals and singles by Dave Lumley, Alex Pirus, Bob Bangay and newcomer Jim Clement. It was a narrow 3-2 lead for the Rams after the first two periods but the final 20 minutes saw them complete- ly dominating play rapping in Six goals to Seneca's one.

Talking Speedometer Could Be Next. Developed in his spare time by a Glasgow University technolâ€" ogist, the talking speedometer is the size of a car tape player. It contains a small drum with 51 magnetic tracks. over which a tape recorder hea-d moves later- ally in accordance with the speed measurement, sel- ecting thc appropriate pre-recorded track. The “talk- ing" meter can be set to give continuous speed an- nouncements. It can also be activated by a small col- umn mountcd switch. Other controls could select voltage, temperature, oil pressure or other readings. The device, according to the inventor, could be mass produced for around $100: a rather high cost which might be offset by the fact that dashboard dials would not be necessary anymore Learn to spot the “parts artist", the man who just keeps replacing parts in order of most likely to cor- rect until the malfunction is no longer present.
