TEE IAIURDAYMAY SPORTS BITS AND PIECES LAST WEEK we wrote about Canadian Amateur Hockey Association President Jack Roxburgh and his suggestion that Canada Europe next winter Reason was the unfriendly attitude of the Swedish press Thursday we met Jacks son John He asked us to keep our shirt on Dad should have an announce ment to make in couple of weeks WEVE BEEN told that columnwitlten about Robert Red Thurlow has made it impossible for the guy to return to senior softball if he wanted to Seems writingiabout Red and the reactions he gets from the fans has some people disturbed As weve told couple others we hope he does come back pmsiblvalth Bristows Regardless of what anyone could write Red would be star and the fans would treat him accordingly Funny though Red has made any complaints about the article we feel hes bright enough to know the score THE SENIOR softball loops loss is the Industrials gain Thats the way we feel about another gritty former player Larry Campeau Larry who played last year with Torgis Automotives is said to have gt given it up and signed to umpire in the lower loop Weve always figured the oncetime pugllist thats something we didnt know met in anything he participates Like the Redhead could and would play any position on the field BARBIE CITY an entry in the Newmarket and District soccer League that starts its season at the fair Grounds this evening is really Intemationai It has few Canadianhorns as well as Scots Eng lisbmen Hungarians Dutch and Germans Hope we didnt forget any This combination has already pro ven itself on the pitch Too bad such amixture couldnt cooperate so thoroughly in everyday life the world DVEX STILL WITH soccer Ron Pickard has pretty tough rebuilding chore with his Bantams Most of the lads who first saw soccer ball under Pickards guidance and played with years have passed the age limit Its too bad there was no place for them to go and stay together some of the older lads have lined up with Barrie City City officials are already counting on the speed of thekldsaswellasthe der Pickmd DESPITE THE fact that off hockey games that arena cant help but feel competition and drawing capacity crowds to play the pinch No other faction is using the ice We dont know for sure but the cost of keeping the ice has to be fairly high Fords used the ice Thursday They may not use it again this year However the ice must be kept in the event that Part Dover Sailors win tonights game That would necessitate seventh and final contest next Tuesday gt HOCKEY PLAYERS will The Fords werent too keen on having just one of their players snapped with the Tim ONeil Trophy during the intermissions at the last game sounds funny when you understand that the trophy was won about two months ago and had no bearing on Thursdays
