je 12 the stoutfvttte tbeuke tfairkby sept 24 1959 1xfkki0b ofnclattsg the seasons largest sports crowd attended one of the mot thrilling games of the current softball year in stouffvilles memorial stadium on saturday night the eleven inning championship encounter between the local ladies and their wheatley rivals packed all the thrills and chills into a single game that we may witness here lor many a day in spite of numerous errors on both sides the cloenes of th score and the importance of the contest kept more than 300 fans sitting on the edge of their grandstand seats it is regrettable however that the game had to end on a rather sour note through no fault of the players or the management we would contend that tlie officiating was the worst we have ever seen we point the finger not only at the umpires but at the provincial association to our knowledge it was not represented there was no trophy on the field for an official presentation it recalls an exact rerun of the stouffvutewheatley junior finals at port dover last year t oba representative was not present the trophy arrived here midway through the winter season we have watched a goodly number of ball games in the local park and on outoftown diamonds including preseason exhibition games the officiating on saturday night was the most ridiculous chmoze ever to mar a content we dont i ofess to be any expert at the business thats not our job iiicse men however carded registered umpire certificates ard re paid a set fee to handle the game if the girls were as confused as we were on a number of infield cails then its little wonder that te management stormed the players cri i and the spectators moaned on oiu- occasion the enii e vvhe t- iv infield were grouped around the mound while a stoufvte player meed around tee sacls ahrost at will to our knsjv- letge two plays one at second base and another at thud lro yet to be called we would not wish our rebels to get any ideas that tlie stouffville club is not a worthy champion they most certainly are they proved themselves in the series opener at wtieattev when they drubbed their opposition by a score of 176 right in their own back yard all the breaks didnt go in favor of the local team but the right for four stouffville runs to cross the plate in an eleventh inning rally is quite questionable we feel that down deep the stouffville girls would have been quite content to have met their wheatley rivals on a neutral field in a third game rather than have their championship joys tainted with doubt one could hardly blame the wheatley coach for being more than irritated his club had travelled nearly 250 miles for a game orf a foreign field one minute they had the contest in the bag the next minute it was all over a portion of his protest could be attributed to a natural disappointment we felt however that for the most part he had some wellfounded reasons on which to base his arguments we feel sure that coach oneill and company would have been equally irked if the shoe had been on the other foot and rightly so to our knowledge it is the first provincial ladies champion ship in the history of the town coach oneill has worked faithfully with his protegees and those closest to the club knew that the eoeted cup could not evade the girls grasp for long we offer our congratulations and hope that the team will return next season in defence of the hardfought title lions bringing two big hockey teams for exhibition game stouffville sports fans are go ing to have an opportunity to see two of the countrys top amateur hockey teams and at tlie

joyce roberts gwen kennedy and ha red shaw of stouffville gathered in some wellhit balls that ap peared headed for extrabases jean bergam of wheatley was equally sensational gwen kennedy made the first daz zling catch she gloved a long ball from the bat of wheatley pitcher beth hodgson in the fourth inning leftfielder joyce roberts brought the crowd to its feet in the ninth inning with a brilliant backhanded catch on a line drive shot from the bat of wheatleys bernice wilkinson stouffvilles ha redshaw literally saved the day for the local club on two separate occasions with the bases loaded she gathered in a long fly ball hit by beth hodgson in the seventh in the top of the tenth with two on base she grabbed another long ball belted by evelyn willan each putout halted a determined

vacate their grandstand seats after wheatley pushed three runners across the plate to lead 107 the story of what followed in the bottom half of the eleventh inning will never rightly be told a combination of hits errors and stolen bases saw three successive batters complete the circuit to tie the score by some weird oddity a fourth batter gwen kennedy found herself on second base and when
