Everyone‘s welcome car-me. ringette is all about. Even give it a try “111188” on one occasion. Fate is a cruel master. CONGRATS I will conclude this painful piece of resistance by also congratulating Dave J oslin and his Misfits who got all the way to the finals before succumbing to the Red Eyes in that final game. To end on a flurry of notes: THE PETES Don‘t forget that big benefit hockey game coming up next Tuesday night. It'll be an exhibition match between the Major A Peterboro Petes and the Provincial A Rich- mond Hill Rams.

They cost $50. each. Next Tuesday‘s game starts at 7:45 pm. One more arena note: Don’t forget the Ringette's Clinic being held there next Saturday. All girls are welcome. There will be instructional films at 3 pm. ‘ folloWed by on~ice instruction from 4 : 30 to 6: 30 pm. l Everyone‘s welcome to come out and see what 1 what-nu... :_ -n r I Bob went into the tournament still basking in the heady glow of having recently struck out four batters (one of them three timeS) in one game. Quite an ac complishment. It didn't last for long. Bob proceeded to strike out himself on one occasion. Fate is a cruel master And a special mention to Red Eyes’ Bob Whitmarsh who achieved another personal first in his first year in the slojpitch league. Eyes I guess I‘d better get outnfqné-re by once more passing on hearty congratulations to the winning Red F‘nnn In one deft motion 1 put down my can of pop, picked up my glove, and almost swallowed the ball. Got my glove up in time and it deflected harmlessly away. That was my last chance all day to be a hero. HOT DOGS In any case, Hillaby got into the hot dogs again and when last seen was trying to get his line-up ready for the next game. And that was 10 minutes after the Red Eyes had been declared 1979 champions. Oh well, just one of those crazy. hazy days. A good time was had by all. I almost achieved immortality by coming up with the best catch of the day. And I wasn‘t even in the game. Was watching another game when someone lashed a sizzling foul ball down the line. Right at me. Saturday's big wind-up saw them open with a 4-2 win over the Malton Juniors in a game which saw them coming from behind a 2-0 deficit. It was the second time the Hill girls pul the number on North Bendale. A week earlier they blanked the same team 6-0 to wrap up the league cham- pionship. ‘ They downed North Bendale 6-3 in the final game to capture the trophy in the double knockout championship round held in Newmarket. The Richmond Hill Interâ€" mediate Ladies softball team put the icing on the cake last Saturday when they won the Metro Ladies Softball League championship. I prevailed despite the callous treatment I received at the hands of Bombers’ manager Eric Hillaby. He benched me. That was all right. I just objected to him forcing me to sit on the end of it. That can be dangerous when you {all a lot. ‘ I suppose you will have gathered by now that I’m slightly prejudiced. Being a member of the Bombers is a burden not easily carried on my aging shoulders. PHEW Personally, I had a great day. Never missed a round. Went 15 for 15 without spilling a drop. , 7v .1...“ -v--. It means I have to suffer the slings and insults of Red Eyes’ manager Rene Fournier through a long and remorseless winter of hockey. Fournier is the only manger I know who can inspire a team by not showing up. Which just proves what a great team the Red Eyes turned out to be. They did it with Fournier in the lineâ€"up. He even hit a home run as well as scoring the winning run in the final game against the Misfits. There‘ll just be no living with him. They lost the 1979 Richmond Hill Sloâ€"Pitch cham~ pionship held Sunday at the Town Park. Summer’s over. The fact the cursed Red Eyes emerged victorious was cause for much anguish in some quarters. My quarters. Happenings like the Montreal Expos being eliminated from post-season baseball playoffs, the Argos losing to the Hamilton Tigerâ€"Cats, the hockey Leafs being bombed by Buffalo, all pale into insignificance with what happened to The Bombers. softball champs Hi/l girls are History has recorded many dark days in human kind‘s mad dash to oblivion.

Without them the team would never have been the success it was. Coaches of the team were George Nelson and Jim Bolin. Kelly Maclnnis pitched- the shutout for Richmond Hill limiting Bendale to only three hits. That ended the scoring until the seventh inning when McNamara was safe on an error. She went to second on Bonnie Bryan's single and scored on Motley‘s single. Germaine started things rolling when she tripled to right field Marchand followed with a home run to left field. Sue Taylor then singled and scored on Bernie Thompson's home run. McNamara finished things off with a homer of her own. WON LEAGUE The earlier triumph over North Bendale giving them the league title was decided early in‘ the third inning as Richmond Hill got five runs off five hits. Richmond Hill then North Bendale one, two, give themselves the pionship. A bunt by Germaine loaded the bases and then Bernie and Katie scored on Bonnie Bryan's double. It remained a tied score until the ninth inning when Marchand led off with a single and then stole second base. She went to third as Thompson beat out a bum and scored on McMamara's single. The Hill tied the score in the sixth when Bonnie Bryan walked, went to second on Kathy Motley‘s single, and scored on Nelson's ground out. Kelly Maclnnis then brought Motley home on an error.

North Bendale won its next game against Georgetown which meant another match-up against Richmond Hill. Enough to give a team a complex. Thompson was forced at home but O'Connell scored on Gizelle Marchand’s fielder’s choice. Richmond Hill scored one' more in the ninth inning. It was a scoreless game until the fifth inning when Thompson led off with a single. She went to second on O‘Connell‘s single.

Wednesday, October 3, 1979 Brian Risk gave the Jewellers Some breathing room with a goal at 6:20 from McDowell but Milton‘s Lane Bauldry came right back with another one at 12:56 to make it 54. Milton's Eric Ellison tied the game at 2:29 of the final 20 minutes only to have Ed Gundert put them back in from. That‘s when (he Jewellers developed the sags as Milton pumped in two quick goals from Todd Sheppard and Marty Venner to make it 4-3, second period from Brian Risk and Kevin Johnstone to‘make it 4- fashion at the Town Park Sunday night. And providing most of the drama were The Red Eyes and ihe Misfits with the former team. Champs mmg Soccer windup The Jewellers are at Milton Friday night and at home next Monday night to the Barrie Colts for an 8 pm. game. Coach Artemchuk announced that high-scoring winger Johnâ€" stone has been released by the club. He refused any comments on the reason. Johnstone joined the club late last season. That line accounted for the Jewellers‘ first goal in the opening period with Woolrich pulling the trigger from Taylor. Risk scored the first of his two goals at 9:47 from Dobson and McDowell while Andre Damonze got the third one from Dobson. This was a Shorthanded effort. Coach Artemchuk was happy with the “excellent play of Taylor" who was on a new line with Danny Henderson and newcomer David Woolrich. The sore eyes were contributed by the rest of the teams â€" the Bombers, the Sudsers. Ball under manager Rene Fournier winning the championship. A happy day to be a winner is what it was all about .

They opened with a close 4~3 squeaker over The Sudsers and then went on to beat the Bombers ‘ 12-9. and the Misfits 94 to enter the finals undefeated DARK HORSES The Misfits, in the meanwhile. turned out to be the dark horse. almost-heroes of the day. Under manager Dave Joslin. the Misfits came out of the starting gate in fine fashion despatching with the highly‘rated Ball Machine 12-3 and 12-4 with the only loss being the two big ones to the Red Eyes. It was another good show by the Red Eyes who had earlier won the league‘s first annual mid-season tournament. That hope dimmed as Ron Craig and Foumier singled. Both scampered‘ or rather, plodded home as Bruce Venn‘s line drive to centre skipped past the fielder and it was all over. The Misfits went into that final inning leading by one run with their chances of forcing the Red Eyes into another sudden~death game looking bright. That final game went right down to the wire with the un4 defeated Red Eyes forced to extend themselves to win it 13-12 in the bottom of the seventh and final inning, Machine and the Old Jays â€" who were knocked out earlier in the day; 0.

('HAMPS The champion Red Eyes comprised the following players: Bob Whitmarsh‘ Jim Bridge, Terry Cillis. Ron Craig. Joe Horvat, Mike Ignatowicz. Coley Kloepfer. Ralph Kraft. Jim Lane, Jerry Lavoie. Rod Hunge. Paul Ryan. Tony Shulist‘ Bruce Venn and Manager Foumier. Other results saw the Bombers opening with a 1943 win over the Old Jays which. incidentally. was highlighted by a home run by the Jays' Bill Greenhead. Also impressive with the Misfits were Wayne Murphy and Al Poole. “We were really happy to go as far as we did." said Joslin‘ “We didn't expect to be in the finals." BIG GL'N Billy Rice was a big gun for the Misfits with two homers while Joslin pitched well. Big hitters for the Red Eyes included Jim Lane with a homer, Terry Cillis. a triple. Jerry Lavoie, a double and a triple, and, yes. another home run by Foumier. Richmond Hill kept pace with the winners in the second period and were outscored by only three goals to two. It was Paul Harrietha scoring for the Hill along with Steve Bowers. Harrietha also assisted on the second goal. A goal by Gary White in the third period from Peter Glynn rounded out the Rams' scoring. The Rams had a rather disastrous first period in that encounter with the visitors pumping in five goals to Rich- mond Hill‘s one by Andy Hawe. Larry Gwiiliam was the big gun for Wexford over the entire night with three goals and tw0 assists. “We just couldn’t capitalize on our chances. It was much the same story against Wexford Fridaynight. “We just bombed out Friday night against Wexford." he allowed‘ “but Sunday we weren‘t as bad as the score would in- dicate. Four of the Dixie goals came off powerplays despite the fact they had more penalties than we did. “We've got~ a rookie team and they’ve been making rookie mistakes," was the most charitable way team manager Sil Steffan could put it. The Rams lost games three and four on the weekend via 10-3 to Wexford Raiders Friday night at home and 8-0 to Dixie Beehives in Dixie Sunday night. They are winless.
