That other day took place last night (Tuesday) at Oakville in The Oak Ridges Dynes Jeweller Junior B‘s lived to fight at least another day Monday night when they powered their way to a 7-4 win over the Oakville Blades Monday night at Bond Lake Arena. Members are Tim Saul, Earl Freeland, Tom McRae, Bill Harris, Jamie Davison and Jack Hill. Good luck. You’ll need it in Sudbury. BOWLERS Speaking of the Legion. A team of bowlers from there will be heading up to Sudbury Pro Bowl April 7 to do battle in the name of District E which they won against all comers. What’s in a name? Simply $1,900 if your name is Dave Simpson instead of Fred Simpson. The guy above is Dave. (Photo by Hogg). I’ll admit I may be wrong on some of the details. But he did crash through the door on a snowmobile. Just ask his wife. I did. MONTE CARLO . Finally, the Richmond Hill Dynes Jeweller Junior Fastball team is holding a Monte Carlo Night March 30 at the Lions Hall. The fun and games start at 8 pm. and run through to 1 am. Somewhat shaken A_1 stepped out of his machine, bellied'up to the bar, and said: “Uh, sorry I’m late.” What a sense of humor. Idea is to raise funds for the ball club. Be there. Oh yes, an auction will be held. Suddenly there was a du'll, sickening thud (as they say) and Al and his machine materialized through the door‘and ended up a shot glass away from the bar. And publicity man Fred Simpkin adds that turnouts for the Jewellers’ practices have been excellent. Next workout at Richvale Community Centre is March 27 from 9 witgl‘pm. Junior aspirants are welcome. A few people were sitting around'the nice bar he has in his recreation room downstairs waiting for A1 to arriyezlile was outside taking a run on his snowmobile. He loves to make grand entrances at little social gatherings and there‘s nothing wrong with that. Except, I hearZ he got carried away recently. Al, in case you don’t know, is a budding lawyer (formerly of Richmond Hill) who lives out of Holland Landing. And he’s always the life of a party. Especially' when he leaves. “You can tell everyone that it means we’ll definitely have a team next season,” said Sil. Amen. HI, AL Speaking of luck, or the lack of it, I heard a story about old buddy Al Binnington the other night at the Richmond Hill Legion. Dearie me, where am I? Oh yes, that was a very enjoyable evening at the arena the other night. What a crowd. Upwards of a thousand or more people. LOT OF PEOPLE I haven’t seen that much human flesh at a Rams game for years. It was a lovely sight to behold and, hopefully, most Of those people will return to see the Rams next season. My luck isn’t bad, it isn’t even there. Just the other day I spotted a quarter lying on the ground and was afraid to pick it up. With my luck it was probably booby- trapped. You can read the details elsewhere but suffice to say Rams’ general manager Sil Steffan and all concerned were ecstatic. After five days of paying 25 cents for a 20â€"cent paper I decided to just insert 15 cents which seemed fair to me. Didn’t have the nerve. With my luck 3 big hand would reach out and some judge would send me to jail for 30 days as an example. The entire episode rather amused me. Only thing I’ve won in the last 20 years is $5 on an office hockey pool back in the Winter of ‘69. v It seems the real winner was a local fellow by the name of Dave Simpson. At least I had the right lastâ€"name series. She pulled a hurried retreat. Even the Globe and Mail has it in for me. For years" I’ve been slipping a dime and a nickel into their honor box and pulling out a paper. Now that they‘ve raised the price to 20 cents I usually only have quarters on me. My week got off to a delightful start Monday morning when someone rushed out of a store to congratulate me on winning the 5050 draw and $1,900 at Saturday night’s benefit hockey game for the Richmond Hill Rams. I thanked the person, stooped down to pick up the dime that had slipped through a hole in my pocket, then informed her she had the wrong guy.

He gave us that lift we needed despite the fact he's still not up to par.“ Glen Wright who hit for four goals while right behind was Captain Cam Reston who scored two in celebration of his return to the line-up after a bout of the flu. KEY PLAYER The re-emergence of RestOn was probably the key factor in the sudden surge of the Jewellers as he seemed to provide the much-needed leadership lacking in the past two games.

Other all star marksmen were Errol Hook, Rod Chapman. and Bill Tomlin. v Just notes; Manager Steffan told-The Liberal he was remiss in not naming in the program two team sweater sponsors. They were Lion’s Delivery and Pat Deciantis Construction. “It was a bad oversight," said Steffan, “and I hope I can make amends to these people this way." ‘ BERSETH STAR . Dave Berseth led the all stars with two goals and was named his team‘s most valuable player. Bill Coville. incidentally, won the same award for his téam. Big gun for the winners was Bill Hanlon with four goals and Bill Coville with two and singles to Wayne Carlton and Paul Gallagher. ' In the final analysis it was just too much youth and speed for the all stars to cope with as the Rams led 3-1 at the end of the first and 7- 4 going into the third. And those in attendance got their money’s worth â€" especially Dave Simpson of 298 Markham Road, Richmond Hill who won the 50â€"50 prize money of $1,902.50 as the all~stars made the evening interesting for the Rams. Steffan estimated the night's receipts, at between $3,500 and $4,000. ALL ALONE “There were times this season,“ he admitted. “when I got the feeling we were all alone, that no one cared. It's nice to be proven wrong and it simply means that we‘re definitely going to be back next year." “I'm just elated by the whole thing,“ said Steffan. “It proves to me that people are interested in having the Rams around next year. That‘s the word from Rams‘ general manager Sil Steffan in the wake of the big night which saw his squad outlast an all star team from the Richmond Hill Town League 8-5 in an enjoyable evening of hockey. Rams do it! It was much the same story last Thursday in Oak Ridges as a Shorthanded first period goal by Oakville's Mike McElroy set the Jewellers back on their heels and they never really recovered. If the Jewellers won last night (Tuesday). they open their best of seven championship series with Streetsville Friday night in Streetsville and are back home Monday night for an 8 pm. game. There will Vbe' a Rams‘ team next season. Oakville led 3-1 going into the third period and wrapped the game up with one more with Dynes Kevin Johnstone managing to also get one. One thing was definitely established Saturday night when 1,000 or more spectators showed up for the Richmond Hill Provincial Junior A Rams’ benefit hockey game. - SIL STEFFAN . . .he’s happy 881-2121
