ASS I- I H HASH by George Sports Edit has arrived District teams and leagues are- swinging into the homestretch To date big item on our books locally has been the revival of hardball Its gone over with a bang I Its been great to have a hand In seeing the big diamond sport revive Looking over the stands at the fair grounds as the Red- men go through their Friday night gymnastics we notice a great many old time baseball followers and staresteryear peering at this years crop of a home and home athletes Good to see them around again From where we sit appear to have a mighty sweet ball club to root for They make first year mistakes hut the winning habit is there Local hopefuls arent backing away any thing in the Simcoe loop Coach Hack Cain and Man ager Ted Robinson now boast a fourman hurling corps Thorns Ivan Gibson Ken and Bill Hopper latter two have just been ac quired If anything mound corps isnt getting enough work to keep them in top notch con dition This may be remedied though as an intermediate A entry is being considered We like the idea If it goes through the should fare well in the playdowns Its possible they might meet Sutton or in the A Either series should jam the fair ground to capacity In any event before the summer is out an attempt will be made to series with either or both County teams The CabiHudson clan better make a note this is prodding the old timers Gould Shorty Turan Pigskin Peters Gould Bill Has Peaches VanZant and some the others who boast a five oclock shadow at noon to get in shape to take on the edi tion Have been watching with in terest the results from the dis trict sports day softball tourna ments Bill Taylors North York entry has been cleaning up right and left any more win ning efforts and theyll have to start paying income tax on their earnings While weve no objection to the southerners fattening the bank roll this copywriter would like to see the tournaments put to better use For instance why not use them to declare a North York champion Invite King City Aurora Town League leaders two teams from the Newmarket town loop tp two in the league and a team say from the Mark- ham township circuit to each tournament Keep tab oil the points each team gathers at the tournaments and top two lead ers or perhaps four meet in a series for the North York dia dem under the lights at New market or Schomberg This would like to see a North York Softball champion declared in some manner possibly the above me thod might serve the purpose see theres tournaments at Mount Albert Zephyr and Queensyille Keswick

perhaps and omissions dealt sport as Canada enjoyed it at Con federation in and before Perhaps you were surprised when earlier in this series we remarked that on Canadian soil in days there had been fought two or three world heavyweight fights But records prove it They are not the exact records that have prevailed the last or 60 years but still records And here Is the story Flaming Ben Hogan a picturesque figure who was a Civil War spy gambler and oil magnate claimed the heavy weight fistic title just about and fought Bob Donnelly for it at Fort Erie Ontario had fought John The Boy for the world title at Long Point in Canada John J fought Jim Elliot at the same Long Point in the in another fight for the heavyweight title both claimed So even with this sketchy background you can be sure that some boxing existed in Canada even before Confederation Golf was introduced to Canada in the by officers of ships from the Old Country who played in and Quebec on courses and in six years after Con federation a group of the original players met in Montreal and created the Montreal Golf Club since renamed Royal Montreal- There are no records to prove but undoubtedly there was harness racing for that sport dales back in America to and the great Flora Temple was history when Con federation took place r Of course Canada had great winter sports programs away back beyond and through Confederation There were skating races In the winter dating as far as when officers of the Montreal Garrison raced to Quebec a tidy run The first covered rink built in Canada according to such records as are available was built in the Ancient Capital hilly Quebec city in the middle Montreal followed dilatorily in and in the same year organized the Mon treal Skating Club In there was built in Montreal in what is now the heart of the Canadian metropolis the Victoria rink where gala fancy dress balls and carnivals were held This rink holds hockey history too for here the first Stanley Cup games of all times were played in the dowdy nineties And there was footboU whether English or soccer we couldnt say But the Montreal Football Club was formed in a year after Confederation There was tobogganing too and snowshoeing with the Montreal Club formed in And there would be many paddling contests then certainly not the great regattas of today but the canoe was then a useful form of conveyance and tests of speed would he a natural outcome So young Canada in had plenty of sport plenty of fun sport in its truest amateur sense mostly and young Canada lived a pretty good life without radios automobiles and a lot of the things which are regarded as essen tial in these more times It must have been a good life then with no threat of Abombs or Hbombs no Communists and none of a lot of things we could very do without met toe fc welcomed If Cofrtft 431 St Toronto DISTILLERS LIMITED Misses Florence and Gladys Brooks are attending a teach ers summer course at Northern Vocational school

total loss for the year of 2364 King council dealt with the matter at great length We had no knowledge of this situation until after our financial estim ates were set at the beginning of the year The rate was struck and there was no provision made to give a grant said Reeve El- tori Armstrong The- problem now is how to finance the defi cit Wo oared expendi tures to a rnimum Over the whole township he said approx imately a 1mill rate would be needed to pay the total amount There is no doubt he added that taxpayers public spirited enough to accept their share but it would be difficult convince patients they had not paid enough to the hospital It is not our fault If the organ Nation has- not charged enough to its patients the reeve stated However the fact remains the debt exists and we must have a hospital Herald it Is reported that all York County municipal ities had made grants except King and townships Deputy Reeve eon wondered if the townships grant were paid now it be expected to
