Shafted What a dastardly trick. If that’s what happened. Am referring to the article about Burlington accusing Oshawa of getting the All- Canadian by “buying” the Canadian Amateur Softball Association out. Burlington manager George Bedford claims Oshawa guaranteed the CASA additional financial benefits beyond the 25 percent of the gross gate required in a contract submitted by the bidding centres. I don’t mind getting beat, I hate to get shafted. In any case, Richmond Hill should have had the tournament. The Jewellers earned it umpteen times over by winning the World Softball 24 - THE LIBERAL, Wednesday, Nov. 20,1974 (Continued from Page 21) Billy hopes to make hockey his profession.

Yes, I’m going to do a quick switch-over to softball and particularly a chap I’ve neglected somewhat. So excuse me, November. Doug's a chucker I’m talking about 20-year-old Doug Webster of 422 Fernleigh Circle North, Richmond Hill, who helped chuck Scarboro Linda! Homes to the Toronto and District Senior Fastball League championship in his first year in fast company, so to speak. .1 n- I "MNFer the futuvre he‘dvlike “to get a shot at the Ontario Fastball League which is the best arognd. You can’t keep improving uhless yqu play the best.” Enroute to the title Doug helped deflate the Rich- mond Hill Dynes Jewellers in the playoffs before doing the same to Winston Park knocking them off 3~ 1 in the first game. Scarboro won the series when Winston Park defaulted. lieâ€"cdnped his first season by being selected the league's all star pitcher behind Welland’s star Ken Rhora which ain’t bad at all. He won nine games and lot two. -‘-“Ivi»vas very happy with my first season,“ said Webster. “1 lost a lot of 1-0 and 2-0 games." '- Doug doesn’t profess to be a power pitcher and concentrates on “keeping the ball low. Control is my main aim and I guess my best pitch is a drop ball." He also wouldn't mind hooking up with the Jewellers although “I'm interested in tossing a lot. You can’t improve if you don’t play.” In Dartmouth Doug's background ball saw him toss for a number of years (along with brother Dave) in the Richmond Hill Industrial loop before going into junior with Scarboro. .1 He put his travelling shoes on in 1973 and jour- neyed to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, to play for that team and had a win-loss record of 22-2. His team got into the All Canadian at Hull that vear but Doug didn’t keep to “beat” the Jewellers. He was ineligible because of a residents rule. Rich- mond Hill won the title incidentally. I would be remiss in not mentioning that stint in the industrial loop was with Joe‘s Garage which won the title two years in a row. So you might say where Doug goes, so go winners.

Ricky Murphy opened the scoring for A&W in the first period assisted by Gary Sutherland. A second period goal by Duane Aube from Jimmy Flett had the teams in a tie game going into the third period. Oak Ridges netted a third goal in the last period to win the game. The Richmond Hill Provincial Junior ‘A’ hockey Rams were in a threeâ€"way tie for ninth place last week but the afterglow of a three-game winning streak more than made up for it. In an exhibition game on home ice, November 15, the A&W 'Atoms defeated the North York Selects 4-1. After a scoreless first period. the Hillers put the “We’re only eight points out of first place which means we’re right in the middle of it all," Coach Karl Brimblecombe was saying as he watched his squad playing an exhibition game with York Regional Police Thursday afternoon of last week. “All we’ve been lacking is some luck around the net and our confidence. Now we're starting to get both." The Rams‘ confidence barometer had to rise after 5-4 and 64 wins over front- running Seneca Flyers and second place North Bay Trappers respectively. Then came the 10-6 pasting of Royal York Tuesday night and it was happiness, happiness. Well-balanced “I’ve said right from the beginning that this is the bestâ€"balanced club I’ve ever had,“ continued Coach Brimblecombe. “It‘s the best one all around but you have to remember that it is the toughest league we've had going for us in a number of years.

Then again we’ve always had a lot of injury problems." Which makes this season different. Team is healthy “We're a healthy team to date with only the usual minor aches and pains. If we can stay this way we’ll be challenging for the first division by Christmas." Brimblecombe‘s hottest line at the moment is the Kevin Street centred one of Dave Stuart and Dave “Digger” Dunkley. The latter two are home products and Street is a refugee from the Major Marlies who has rapped in 13 goals for the Rams in 15 games. Brimblecombe is actually happy that his team if off to a slow start in contrast to other years when they literally flew out of the starting gate only to waiver late in the season.

He‘s injury free. “Stuart has been injury prone because of his aggressive style of play," said Brimblecombe, “I don‘t think there were five games last season when he was really healthy“. A hockey player that Brimblecombe is high on is newcomer Mike Rowley who is playing his first season of junior hockey. He was with the Whitby Midgets last year. “Watch out for Rowley. He’s just finding his way around but he’s going to start scoring a lot of goals one of these games.
