auj 15th we realize that barrinr unfavorable weather con ditions there are no holidays in stouafvilles busy shorts program there is hardly a night that there isnt something doing down in the park for this reason it is likely that i will be on hand in order to keep in touch with our local teams as they more into the playoffs it is my hope that our baseball soccer and softball teams will still be making headlines when i return to the keyboard again so long for now here axd there many spectators at the local wrestling bout in the arena on friday evening viewed with interest the beautiful cars parked in the lot the property of dick hutton pat flannagan and hard boiled haggerty extended clutch pedals brake pedals and builtup front seats are standard equipment on cars driven by the midget matmen on thursday evening of last week be young people from the community of peachs and cedar grove took part in a softball contest at woodland park follow ing the game the players were entertained

misfortune to have his car stolen from a toronto parking lot on monday afternoon in the auto was all the officials paraphernalia including his chest protector shin guards spike etc mr h g taylor of uxbridge one of the local cardinals most enthusiastic supporters presented the club with a brand new baseball bat tor tuesday nights playoff opener at newmarket the local swimming pool was the towns most popular place during the past hot humid weekend coach murray stewart is endeavoring to arrange an exhi- bltlon game for his juvenile squad here on thursday night possibly with doug lauries club from toronto unfair comparisons it is always rather amusing to me to hear the oldtime sportsmen of yesteryears discussing the current crop of profes sional athletes and making comparisons with respect to their ability- invariably the oldtimer will place todays athlete much below tho standard set by men who performed in the early 1900s the same story is true in almost every line of sport whether it be baseball hockey boxing or tennis in boxing when rocky marolano was bowling over his opponents with monotonous regularity veteran sports figures repeatedly stated that the hardpunching rocky would have been childs play for jack dempsey or joe icwls when they were at their peak following monday nights title bout between hurricane jackson and floyd patterson one sportsman of note said that marclano could have beaten both jackson and patterson at the same time we couldnt help but wonder just how inefficient our present- day boxers are if these comparisons are true turning to base ball we hear the same story todays greats such as mickey mantle ted williams and stan miislal are mere amateurs as compared with ty cobb babe ruth and joe dimaggio if you watched tv on saturday afternoon you probably heard one member of the hall of fame say they dont employ the brain work in todays game theyre home run crazy it is hardly fair to make such comparisons if the batters were better in yesteryears perhaps the pitchers and fielders were below standards of todays performers today coaches say that gordle howe and maurice richard are two of the greatest hockey players that ever donned skates oldtimers who watched jollett and eddie shore say present stars couldnt carry the same sticks everyone may have his ownopinion but i like to thinkthat our athletes are improving rather than slipping it would only seem natural to me that wltht our more uptodate organization of minor league teams that better players would be produced this is an argument however that will never be settled favoured folk the sportsloving residents of stouftville are certainly favor ed folk our uptodate park facilities are the most modern of any village or town in the surrounding district although some may think this is a timeworn subject i believe that enough emphasis cant be placed on our most modern park playground it is truly a sportsmans paradise when you think of how other communities struggle through monthlong drives to raise funds for every project and then look to stouffvllle where all has been handed on a silver platter an outright gift valued in excess of 100000 our favored position here in stouffvllle became even more realistic after a visit to newmarket this week the junior team in the county town played host to our juvenile cardinals in the first game of the group semifinals our boys arrived on the held at exactly 705 pm only six members of the newmarkct team were present they had to play on a secondrate diamond that had never been dragged the first and third base foul lines were not marked and the bags were not pegged the field was not floodlit and the home plate was perched on top of the ground the outfield was wild with weeds and there were no bleacher seats for the fans there were less than two dozen spectators in at tendance a portion of these from stouffvllle the contest finally started at 735 due to darkness the game- went only 4 innings which constitutes a contest under oba rulings much the same conditions prevail in other centres one should not be too critical of our neighbors stouffvllle would probably be in much the same boat without the generous contributions of mr latcham although many may not truly appreciate our pleasing position it is your reporters feeling that the players are appreciative of all the parks weve played in stonffvlllcs is the best said one member of the local cluk the next time youre in a town comparable to stouffvllle drop down to their park and look around a comparison would prob ably open your eyes as it did mine
