the fact that they iced a fighting hockey club thar refused to quit even against almost impossible odds the year 19s7 will be written into the record books as whitbys year for attaining senior hockeys highest laurels the allan cup peehtbe tocrneys pop11ar peewee hockey tournaments are becoming more and more popular every year although one can hardly get in a hockey mood with the temperatures hovering around the 5 degree mark it would appear that peewee tournaments must be organ ized almost one year in advance in order that they may be successful at goderich there is a waiting list every spring and stouffvllle although they filed an entry very early were out of luck this year there has been some talk here that a peewee tournament may be run off here next winter with so many outlying hockey towns promoting peewee competition it would not be difficult to find enough clubs to take part in a tourney such a promotion takes considerable time and work and cannot be shouldered by the usual few for the benefit of many down but not oct although the collapse of the markham township softball league came as a complete surprise lo ils many followers those closest to the operation of the group have been reading the handwriting on the wall for the past two or three seasons a few years ago the markham circuit was one of the finest organ ized softball leagues outside of toronto following the war years everybody and his brother was performing in the loop markham had two clubs unionville buttonville thornhlll peachs cedar grove richmond hill agincourt and newmarket have all filed entries since that time one by one the teams either fell by the wayside or moved into other groups until in 1956 only four clubs remained to carry on everyone including the league executive and the players knew thai the markham twp league waj drawing its last breath in a final effort to- keep the circuit in operation an organization meeting wag sum moned last week but only two teams markham and buttonville were represented even the aces and the sluggers although in attendance had already made plans for competition in outside groups thornhill and newmarket have apparently disbanded theres no denying the fact that the teams possibly exclud ing one have themselves to blame for the position in which the markham league now finds itself the majority of clubs were insistent on entering into oasa competition and the outcome of the local group was given very little thought hence the markham playoffs were run off in a halfhearted fashion in temperatures which were extremely uncomfortable for even the players not to speak of the fans the ontario playdowns were one of the main contributors to the leagues downfall a lack of youth on many of the teams was also a contributor many of the veterans who were in their heyday back in the early 40s began to run out of steam after nearly a decade of fine community aottball service and the clubs suddenly found gaps in their lineups which could not be filled last but probably not least was the use by some teams of players who were above the calibre of the average performer hence clubs found that they were constantly occupying the cellar positions they either folded or shifted to a league where they could compete on a more balanced basis is was learned by your reporter that one team in the markham circuit last season paid their pitcher a stated salary for each game he took part in that same club isnt even operating this summer personally it was with considerable regret that we accepted the executives decision to disband for the 1957 season anyone connected with organized sport knows only too well that it is difficult to revive anything once it has become stale or dormant however such an attempt will be made next spring and it is our hope that the move will meet with success the stouffvillemarkham soc1 cer club will meet brampton here in the memorial park on saturday evening of this week in an exhibition game the pur
