RICHMOND HILL â€" Under weather conditions which stretched human endurance to its limits the York-Simcoe Men‘s Singles Championships were played June 27 at the Newmarket Club. It was so cruelly hot that the older players fell victim. not only to younger legs. but also to dehydration. heat prostration and other related symptoms. I know that I for one wondered what on earth I was doing out there suffering such agony. It was no wonder then that the final rounds in both the championship proper and in the consolation event were played out by four young men none of RICHMOND HILL â€" Twenty Thornhill juniors competed in the Ontario playdowns here this past week. The tournament provided terrific experience and competition for all those who participated but many matches were delayed by rain. Ron Reinders is still playing a semi- final against Jonathan Angel in the boys under 14. The boys under 16 saw Alan Grant qualifying for the Ontario finals in Toronto later this month.

Your Executive Committee are becoming more and more con- cerned over the question of tennis apparel. One has only to be present at the courts on a crowded night to witness what appears to be mis-interpretation of Club Rules on the subject. Rachelle Levine scored twice and Lisa West twice, one of which was a homer. Lisa Wadsorth rounded out the Metz scoring with a run in all four in- nings. The game between Music Shoppe and Royal Bank was rained out with each team receiving a point. Action saw the Major Atom Travelways team blanking Maple Leafs 5-0 on a well-deserved shutout. By Jane Stel RICHMOND HILL â€" Eight out of 10 Richmond Hill teams are still unbeaten in the Ontario Cup games and will be going into the second round of play this weekend. Whether this is deliberate or not on the part of the few who seem to be defying club policy is a matter yet to be solved. The Yorkmen scored six times in the first inning which proved to be enough for their third win of the season. Martin Barratt led it off with a walk followed by singles from Joel Spillman, Scott Keyworth. Ken Curley and David Pugh. Curley pitched another solid game, striking out fifteen of the thirty batters he faced in the seven innings. Owen Shaun Cooke led the scoring way with two goals followed by singles by Terry Coles. Kelly Grams, Kenny Harrington. In other competition it was “The Liberal” minor mosquito team ad- vancing into the second round of the Ontario Cup after a 3-2 win over Armourdale at Crosby Park. The game started at a quick pace with Armourdale having the better of play. Armourdale opened the scoring after 23 minutes of play but Richmond Hill came right back to even it on Kevin Rowe’s goal. tions. and playing scin- tillating tennis beyond his years he and Joyce were the difference between a tie and a win result. Congratulations Paul.

The second half produced exciting soccer with “The Liberal” having the edge in the early play.

Brampton tournament Although the Richmond Hill Allison Kirk and Isabella Ippolito Gamma wins nevertheless determined to enforce Club Rules. The club rules are as follows: “All players on the court MUST wear soft shoes WITHOUT heels. While tennis whites are encouraged and preferred. other ap- propriate tennis attire is permitted". It must be obvious to all members that shoes with heels would damage the courts and cannot, therefore, be permitted. Now let’s clear up the question of what is and what is not “appropriate tennis attire”. Let me say right away that there can be several opinions on this. but let me say at the same time that blue jeans of any out or size are not appropriate tennis attire, nor gym shorts. nor any attire which would not be sold as tennis attire by a clothier. While tennis whites are encouraged and preferred, colours, of course. have become Bigland, David Kaiser , Alan Speight and Errol Soriano all singled for Taurins and Brad Celmainus made an outstanding catch on the run in centre field.

I mean where the inland waters merge into the open areas of Georgian Bay, and this can be miles away from the shorelines near the highways. Smallmouth Bass Lake Simcoe has a very good Smallmouth Bass population. The area around Sibbalds Point Park and all along the Beaverton shoreline is very rocky and clear. Still fishing over some rocks and trolling along the shore can be very productive. Actually, almost all of the smallmouth hotspots are ac- cessible only by boat, so let‘s take a look at some Largemouth Bass haunts. All inlets and large rivers along Georgian Bay hold Largemouth Bass, as do most of the lakes in the Kawartha region and lakes in eastern Ontario. Pro guide I know of one professional fishing guide who takes his holiday at Crow The whole Georgian Bay area from Midland to Manitoulin Island is tops as far as I'm concerned. As you need a boat in those waters, and probably a guide, a trip should last a few days to pay off. Giants . Georgian Bay holds many of these giants. l have seen fish going close to the record in the water, and there is no reason that one cannot latch onto such a fish. Most of my trips will be to the Point au Bari] area for Smallmouth. as I had great luck there while using leeches. Over my desk hangs a female Smallmouth Bass of 12 pounds two ounces which held the world record for many years. It has since been outâ€"weighed by over two pounds, and I am certain that even larger ones make their home in some of the waters of Ontario. I am going to do my darndest to beat the record this year, unless some of you beat me to it!

For lnvictas it was goalie Brian Close coming up with a great game but not having the support.

Harry Stel; Caesar’s vs Ratcliff's, Mike Kirk Jr.; Sanderson Gulf vs Aurora Bowl, T. Jensen; Cadillac Baif goes to Aurora. Where to go The areas I have mentioned is where I will be spending most of my time this year. In the past, however, 1 have found the following waters very good for Bass fishing: Kashawakamak near Kaladar for; both species; Lake Scugog for Largemouth as well as Walleye and Musky; Balsam Lake near Fenlon Falls, and most of the lakes con- nected to the Trent water system. North York Trophies 4. Flair 5. Steve Bialkowski scored three goals and Rudy Frank one for North York. Minnows Minnows hooked in the mouth with a weedless hook are cast among the many sunken logs and waterlilies. One of my favourite spots is a swamp with about one foot of water where there are several large muskrat houses with many undercut entrances. If you can be quiet and patient. drop your minnow into one of these holes, and you can expect a tremendous explosion. I have seen four and five pound bass taken from there several times. At the marina and boat livery on the lake the operator is always ready to give you all kinds of hints as well as professional guiding services. Peewee. July 12. Baymar Sports vs North York Trophies, T. Vorich; Flair travels to Aurora. Lake near Kaladar for Largemouth. Live frogs are the bait to use there he tells me, and both bait and boats are available. If I had to choose one area for Largemouth. it wguld surely be Limerick Lake. Located halfway between Madoc and Bancroft well off Highway 62. it is considered the best Largemouth water in Ontario by the most ardent anglers. Mosquitoes, July 15.
