Registrar of tie Whitby Minor Baseball Association, Jim Hanley, lias announced that the registration of play- ers for the 1975 season will be held on Saturday, April 19 and Saturday April 26 from 9 a.m..until 12 noon at three different locations. For boys in tie old town area, registration will be held at hei Whitby Municipal Building on Dundas Street W. In previous years signing has taken place at ie Royal Canadian Legio.n Hall on Byron Street South but in order to case the congested parking situation in the area of the Legion Hall, the switch is being made to the new location. Boys from the Almonds area are also asked to register at the Municipal Building. Westminster U n i t e d Cliurcli on Manning Road will once again be the site for signing up in the Garrard Road district, while boys froni Brooklin, Ashburn and Myrtle areas will register at the Brooklin Conmunity Centre on Bagot Street. Recently, the W.M.B.A. Executive decided to leave the registration fee at the same amount as last year S4 per boy and $10 per family, but aIl members of the family must register at the sane -wp I IÀ A 00 LBlair Park Plazo 668-5441 1 time to take advantage of Uie family rate. The registrar has emplia- sized that the two April dates will be the only opportunity for signing and there will be no extension. The associa- tion does not want to see any boy disappointed but feels that with the announcements made in the schools and media everyone is well in- formed and it's essential to have registration completed as early as possible in order to assign players to teams. The last Saturday in May is traditionally the opening of the Whitby baseball season and there is a lot of work involved to get the 600 boys who usually play with the W.M.B.A. placed on the 35 or 36 clubs that the associa- tion operates at Tee-ball, Tyke, Peewee, Bantam and Midget levels. For newcomers to Whitby the W.M.B.A. program pro- vides activity for boys from six to 17. The Tee-balI pro- gram, now in its fourth year is a modified version of the game in which the batter hits 26, 1975, PAGE 13 the ball from a stationery tee rather than attempting to hit a thrown ball. Many a major league hurler has difficulty getting the ball over the plate consistently, and it's a virtual impossibility for a six year old and the Tee-ball version of the game gets around this problem. Boys who will be six by June 30 are accepted in the group. When they become eight they enter the Tyke division, the youngest group playing conventional baseball. Jim Lebar of Brantford screens Whitby goalie Bruce Durno. This scoring attempt failed however. Brantford won 4-3 to tie the series 2-2.
