The season starts Sep- tember 26. It was quite a gathering and, yep, they kept thrusting a champagne glass into my hand during the pre-opening ceremonies. Imagine, ehampagne and hamburgers. I‘ve sure come a long wag! since I used to sip on martini's whilst waiting for my hot dogs to arrive. I always knew something big would happen to me sooner or later. Finally, how was your weekend? NOTES Now that I‘ve got the bubbles cleared from my head I‘d better get into some quickie notes. Let’s see here . . . I’ll bet you if you pitted a slo-pitch player, a donkey, and a turtle against one another in a footrace for first base, the turtle would be the only one to finish. FUN Anyway, it was all in fun A lot of laughs. Radio Station CFGM were playing the Country Music Stars and it apparently ended in a 5- 5 tie As for me. I eventually found my way back to The Hill proper with all dignity reasonably intact. CHAMPAGNE Thought that would be the end of an exciting weekend until Monday night when I was a last-minute substitute to represent “The Liberal" at the official opening of “Wendy’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers" outlet here in The Hill. Grim reality aside, it was an exciting scene especially for the youngsters. They loved it. I loved it too. Lots of drama, action, probably the slowest game of baseball I’ve ever seen. It’s the only stop-action you’ll see this side of television. Some of the radio‘names competing included Bob Butterfield, Larry Matson, Brian Barker, Peter Darrel and Dave Audichuk. Audichuk, incidentally, twisted an ankle when he was bucked off a mule and landed on a donkey floperoo. Organizer John Ward was ecstatié with the turnout, the dance that followed (so crowded they had to turn people a_way) atithe arenarand so on into the night. Suffered my usual morning sickness Saturday, arrived at Oak Ridges in time to see a donkey (no, it wasn’t an elephant) fertilizing second base during a ballgame, later surrounded a hospitality room, got sick again, and ended up drinking champagne out ofa slipper, 'uh, a glass. Wish it had been a slipper. Perhaps I should explain. Saturday saw me taking in my first “Donkey Baseball" game at Bond Lake Arena. Occasion was a fund-raising drive for minor ball in The Ridges and I hear it went over very well. SHOVEL, PLEASE All I can say is I’d hate to slide into second or third base after one of those donkeys had passed that way. Unless“! waSTaEking aEHO‘VeT.‘ ‘" M m m...” The only thing slower than a donkey galloping to first base would be your average ballplayer in the Richmond Hill Slo-Pitch Softball League.

Section B By Dave Barbour The sudenly devastating Kinnear Leasing team took a stranglehold on the 1979 Richâ€" mond Hill Men's Fastball League championship last week downing Barrow‘s Insurance 10-7 in the second game of their best-of-five finals. Barrow's jumped into a 4-0 lead in [he first inning, Dale Crouter homered. Roger Brain walked and was singled in by Paul Hunter: Dwight Powell singled in John Rumble and Luke Lefevre.

JUNIOR B’S The George Oranakos-coached Richmond Hill Junior B's also came up with the championship via a 2-1 win over Aurora but it was a difficult chore for the Hill team which has been used to running up big scores in the regular schedule. Firm but fair officiating deprived the Hill United team of two scores but dogged deter- mination paid off as Rudi Franks and Glen Smith broke through to score The King City Raiders won the South Central Ontario Inter- mediate Fastball League championship Monday night in dramatic fashion. It was pitcher Ken Griffith doing it himself with a ninth inning home run shot with two out to give the Raiders a 4-3 win over ('aledon East and the title in three straight games. The Raiders had won the second game 3-0 on the strength of a no-hit. one walk game by Jim Sch\\artz.
