Finally, if you‘ve got any ideas for things per- taining to recreation and such, give Lynton a call. Or drop in. He’ll be down at the house. If you want me, I’ll be in my room. At this point I should correct a wrong impression I set loose last week by inviting “interested youngsters (maybe adults too?) to get in touch with Lynton at 884-8101 01‘ 889-4928). The above is all right except for the youngsters part of it. Lynton likes youngsters but he doesn’t want anything to do with them re “slow pitch" ball. - “It's the adults from’ 25 years up," he told me, “that I want to hear from. I don’t want to interfere with other organizations such as minor ball.” The “ancient" meets the “future" here as NHL Oldtimer Jackie Hamilton (left) faces off with eight- year-old Billy Hopcraft at Monday of last week’s benefit game at the arena with the York Police. Billy is sponsored by the Big Brothers of York. The fellow “Hopefully, our department will be available tn offer ideas, expertise, and, to our ability, financial assistance. States Friedberg. “The time is probably not far away when we’ll be down to a three-day work week which means more leisure time. The thing is to provide the means whereby people can make use of that increased leisure time in a constructive way.” Enter the recreation man. “My purpose in Richmond Hill is to provide the incentive for the people to get out and organize their own recreation activities Advance their own ideas. “I don’t‘want to run the programs because that defeats our purpose. By letting the people them- selves do it you tend to create an atmosphere whereby it becomes a community spirited operation." Slow pitch One of Lynton‘s more-or~less personal “loves" is the game of “slow pitch" softball. He’d like to be the inspiration behind the forming this summer of a league in Richmond Hill. Hardly a revolutionary remark but certainly one that is only too true these days when people of all ages throw up their arms in despair when they suddenly discover they have five free moments on their hands without something to do. Three-day week With a small‘ r' “Recreation IS no longer something you do after you ’re finished work It used to be spelled with a small‘r ’._Now its become a way of life.” This naturally took him to Sault Ste. Marie and a position with the recreation department there in the late 1960's and most recently to Richmond Hill. Presto. “The money was good but it got to be boring and, in the meanwhile I had always been interested in recreation.” In fact, Lynton is interesting for other reasons including the fact he started out talking to machines instead of people. He was a computer programmer in Montreal back in the early ’60’s. Lynton is the Superintendent of Recreation for the Richmond Hill Parks and Recreation Depart- ment and his office actually takes up one room (I forget whether its the kitchen or bedroom) of a spectacularly empty house down by the old Mill Pond. Empty with the exception of two or three desks and some echoes. I don’t know how significant this is but Lynton H. Friedberg may be the only recreation superin- tendent who has a whole house for an office. At least temporarily, anyway. This impresses me because I don’t even have one to live in. Lynton ll. Friedborg What’s his philosophy about recreation? By the old Mill Pond How’s this for a geflhera 17(5)? gap? “I‘ve always been interested in athletics," he said, “so it was only natural that I drifted into such things as basketball, volleyball, softball, and such, although I was never a great athlete.” So Lynton decided to “get involved” with people via recreation and a stint at the University of Guelph in that type of course. Fred Simpson They tied it at 2-2 on Scott Davey‘s goal and then moved in front by 3â€"2 as Oakley coasted in from the blueline and fired a shot Alliance had led 1-0 early in the first only to have the persistent visitors come from behind to take a 2â€"1 lead. Oakley’s goal came at 5:27 of the second and was the highlight of a Richmond Hill comeâ€"from-behind scram- ble.

Landers. who tossed for the Toronto Globals last season, dropped a bombshell in OFL circles on his return recently from a tour of New Zealand with the Canadian Champion Oshawa Tonys and announced he had signed an OFL and OASA card with that team. The confusion gathered momentum when a few days later the OFL executive declared the 6-foot 3-inch chucker‘s playing rights were held by the Hamilton Waxmen Scrappers and not The Tony‘s. The same Landers has also been suspended by the Ontario Fastball League because he apparently accepted a lot of them at one time or another, but changed his mind.

Scott Cowie got two goals for Thornhill with Matt Nichols picking up the other one. Sunday’s opener was a see-saw contest most of the way as well as a penalty- ridden bash with Alliance Second game of the series was played last night in Richmond Hill with the third slated for Sunday in Owen Sound at 4 pm; the third back in The Hill next Tuesday at 8 pm. A fourth game. if necessary, will be played back in Owen Sound next Sunday at 4 pm.

This also fizzled." Currie stated the next development saw Landers determined to play with the Niagara Falls McRaes who he had signed a Canadian Amateur Softball Association card with in December. Where did it all begin? Explains Toronto Global Manager Greg Currie. “When Landers decided not to return to us we attempted to get him to settle with some other OFL club to keep him in the league. This signing came about without the agreement of The Globals and resulted in Niagara Falls being dropped from the OFL. Enter Currie foreground is Bob McCullough. Richmond Hill went on to win 4-2 and take a three-point lead in the best-of-five series. games winning by 8-4 at Richmond Hill Monday of last week with Dave Baker scoring two goals and singles to DeGeer, Forester and Lewis. The same Forester chipped in with three assists. Russell had two, Danny McVeigh 3, and singles to Dave Baker. Ron Abernathy and Doug Lewis. They bounced Newmarket 6-2 in the final game Thursday of last week with Baker coming through with three this time and singles going to Ray Russell, David Forester and Mike Neilson. Credited with assists were Ray Russell, McVeigh, Lewis and Ron Abernathy. In the third. both teams traded two goals apiece to force a 10-minute overtime period. For The Hill it was John Oakley from Berseth and Don MacPhee from Tom Lamb. The second period was a fast moving one but neither team ooulq produce a goal. Alliance managed to get both of these back before the first period ended to tie the game. Scoring was Robinson from Davey and Arnold Vanderweyde unassisted. Richmond Hill’s Scott Davey opened the scoring in the first period on a set-up from Dave Berseth but Owen Sound came back to pour home three straight goals. finishing the game with only 10 players on their bench due to infractions. Rich- mond Hill was assessed a total of 52 minutes to Owen Sound’s 22. nothing lead over the Owen Sounders in their best-of~five series. Richmond Hill was hurt in the third when winger Richard Hopson received a Currie noted that “Landers was a resident of Oshawa when he signed his OASA card which means he is elligible to play in the Ontario and Canadian finals even though he’s suspended from the OFL.” “As a result of his determination to go to Niagara Falls, I had agreed to let the Hamilton Waxers try to deal with him. again. to keep him in the OFL. It was the same twosome who gave Owen Sound a short~lived 2-1 lead with Taylor pulling the trigger this time as Holtom won the faceoff and got the puck over to him.

This lead lasted until there was just 6:53 seconds left in the second when Bob Holtom of Owen Sound got clear on a break and fired a back- hander past Edwards. Assist went to Al Taylor. It paid off when MacPhee took a breaking pass from Tom Lamb at the blueline after the latter had blocked a clearing pass. MacPhee found himself all alone in front of Penner and just slid the puck under his pads as he made his move. Another plus for the Bayview boys was the fact that seven of their members qualified to make the big trip which “was quite an accomplishment when you con- sider that only two other athletes in York were good enough to go." Dunford stars Almost the individual hero of the match, but not quite. was 19-yearâ€" old Gary Dunford who got all the way to the finals in the 106 pound class before losing to Jim Langfod of Grey Highland by 94.
