Domik, Webster toss shutouts! It was strictly Richmond Hill night last Thursday when the Dynes Jewellers played host to the Beaches A.C. club in their Beaches League home opener; Vrfiiicher Doug Webster tossed a shutout and right-fielder Jeff Wood stroked a three-run homer. Both came Richmond Hill Mayor Dave Schiller looks pretty smug as he pitches first official ball opening The York Region YMCA health club is holding its first Jog-a-thon Sunday to help promote fitness and to also pay for the new building on Dunlop Street in Richmond Hill. I wdn‘t be in it unless I can drive the course. The simple reason is that I pulled a ham sfring muscle the other night during a brisk stroll to the washroom. Honestly, I don‘t think it was the stroll that did it. A few nights ago I made an impetuous dash up 12 flights of stairs which just about wrecked me. The trip did psychological damage to me as well as physical. When I got to the top I found out they were the wrong stairs. Things like this can affect your morale. But I still think it‘s a great idea for all you healthy people out there in Richmond Hill, Thornhill, and even Locust's Hill. So I'll provide some details on the big jog-a-thon. Mark Poray, director of Physical Education at the Richmond Hill Y. tells me "jogging is fast becoming the most popular individual recreation in Canada.“ No slouches He adds that “the people in Rich- mond Hill are no slouches when it comes to picking up theBanner for fitness. “At one time it was very rare to see someone jogging on our streets but now it's very common to see people of all ages dressed in sweat suits or shorts running around town in the name of health." states Poray. Back to the jog-a-thon. The challenge The members of the Y health club are challenging anyone and everyone who can walk or run to participate in the 20 kilometre event. That‘s 12 miles. I believe. It starts from the Y on Dunlop Street at 1 pm. and winds along Mill Street to Bathurst to Elgin Mills to Markham Road. aw, call and ask for the directions. Anyway. it ends up back at the Y. Already entered are various high schools. four-man teams from the West End YMCA‘s post cardiac program plus everything from the Richmond Hill Track Club to public school children‘ and from serious joggers to people who expect to walk the entire distance. Participate As Poray puts it: “The whole point of this event is not to win although there are some awards. Participation is the key. We want to get people involved in something that is its own reward as well as helping to support the Y." The Y is welcoming entries of four person teams or individuals. The event promises to be a great family day so. if you're interested. start practising now. You can pick up your entry form at any York County school. or at the YMCA, 83 Dunlop Street in Richmond Hill. not to win awards.

Ham string Who knows, I might even try it myself. That‘s if my ham string muscle doesn‘t give out on me during another one of those brisk strolls. Webster twirled a three‘hitter enroute to his shutout while Wood hit a three-run homer and Reid had two singles out of four trips to the plate. The Hustlers? The Jewellers are at home to the Toronto Hustlers tomorrow night (Thursday) for a 7:30 pm. doubleheader. You heard right. The Hustlers. Which reminds me of the reaction of one wag in the stands Thursday night when the doubleheader was announced over the PA system. Dynes Hey. that was a great evening for ball last Thursday night at the Town Park. It was mid-August weather out there as the Dynes Jewellers opened their 1977 Beaches fastball schedule with a 6-0 win over Beaches What made it even greater was the display of hometown Richmond Hill boys Doug Webster, on the mount, and Jeff Wood and Duane Reid. “What's their names?” the wag wanted to know in a loud outcry. Therefs one at every ball game. While on the Jewelleréz In a rundown of the Dynes personnel last week it was neglected to mention the return of one Angus Philip to the club as secretary-treasurer. Angus is returning after a season or two of absence and there‘s nothing left to say but welcome aboard. fred simpson Mark Poray . . .Y jogger Ironically enough, the victim in this contest was another local boy. John Lenneville of Oak Ridges, who started the game for the Diesel boys. Webster in form Thursday night's game against Beaches saw Webster in command all the way giving up only three hits while striking out four and walking two. His counterpart. Ray Foxx. had his problems as he was touched for seven hits including Wood‘s homer and a triple by second baseman Bob Baird. Both Haficock and Dickey came home on Wodd‘s wrong-field loft to right field. The score remained that way until the sixth when homebrew Duane Reid beat out an infield hit, stole second The Jeweller's put the game away in the second inning scoring four runs on three hits and an error. Baird starts it Baird lit the fire with a single. Mickey Hancock was then safe on an error with Baird going to second. Catcher George Dickey then grounded a single to right field scoring Baird. Domik threw a 19-strikeout 54) shutout at Harper Diesel. By Bob Thompson There were few surprises at the York County High School track and field championships last Thursday at Etobicoke Stadium as all favored athletes won their individual events. Huron Heights High School of Aurora won the trophy, for the umpteenth time, emblematic of team supremacy, with a total of 335 points.

Top oro wski trip [6 Winn er “It wasn‘t bad considering that we only took nine players," said Williamson. “Actually it was only eight because one of the players was injured and had to sit out." That was the story with the Mary Williams-managed new junior entry from Richmond Hill. The Newtonbrook Plaza-sponsored Hill team competed in the Port Colborne softball tournament on the weekend and came up with one win in three tries. Despite the handicap, the junior girls got a good first taste of action losing 5-0 to Waterford in the first game. coming back to take Caledon Cubs 8-5. before losing 1-0 to Port Colbourne and bowing out of the series. Should have won “We actually should have won that last game.“ stated Williamson. “They only got one hit off us and we got four off them." And that one hit shouldn‘t have been. It came in the first inning when a seemingly easy pop fly was misjudged by a Richmond Hill fielder and dropped in for a single. Then came an error and the one and only runs scored for Caledon. ‘ “Darline pitched a terrific game,“ said Williamson. “but we just couldn't One-hitter Especially outlucked was Richmond Hill pitcher Darline Nelson who would have had a noâ€"hitter except for that one play.

His opponent, Lenneville, went six and a third innings. gave up all runs, and struck out four. He walked three. He was replaced by Barry Crawford who went the rest of the way giving up two hits, striking out three and walking one.

Hancock came home on a passed ball sending Ross to second. Ross then scored on a single by Crouse. He went to second on a walk and came home on two passed balls.

They Emery second ground Richmond Hill fell behind 3â€"0 in the first inning but bounced back with two runs in the second on a hit pitcher, two walks and pitcher Querengesser’s double.
