aces explode in sixth inning to defeat toronto red caps 10 to 3 seasons largest crowd stouffviile is not a softball town this fact has been proven here on numerous occasions neither the young people nor the adults are even a little bit interested in this sport baseball has always been stouffvllles national game and it is unlikely that softball will ever hold a precedent over it here with the organization of a squirt baseball league the sport is becoming deeply embedded in our younger athletes for softball prowess im afraid we must tip our hats to our southern neighbours markham they like stouff1le are good summer sports towns but in markham softball not baseball is the feature attraction crowds in excess of 400 patrons are not uncommon the merchants too lend their hupport to the team and individually donated s25 apiece for the purchase of sweaters and equipment the team in turn shows its appreciation by providing excellent softball enter tainment weekly under the lights iast wednesday night the markham club played host to the toronto red caps a wellknown brewerysponsored team although the contest was strictly an exhibition game the larg est crowd of the summer season was in attendance the num ber present far exceeded the crowds that attend local baseball fixtures i would guess that the collection probably doubled the receipts gained here at a regular scheduled contest the game was played in stouffvllles memorial park it is true that the toronto visitors brought along a good supporting contingent of fans but markham spectators were certainly not in the minority markhams spectators do not appear to be the fairweather fans who attend the games only when the spirit moves them stouffvilles softball support was nil and their baseball fandom is only fair those who straggled down to the park on wednesday night out of curiosity must have been surprised to see the huge crowd present its not really so unusual drop down to markham on any home soft- ball evening and

lady bonebenders are outlawed in every canadian province with the exception of que bec according to mr tommy nelson promoter of the stouff viile bouts mr nelson informed your writer that matwomen are not uncommon in the united states but admitted that the majority of wrestling shows are obscene and do not meet provincial standards he said that the same was true in england mr nelson pointed out however that there are a number of lady wrestlers in the usa who performed in a show of real science and skill he said that these shows could not be justly criticized he pointed out that female wrestling bouts were a real novelty drawing card wherever they appeared in the states he noted however that fan interest tended to wane sharply after two or three appearances well thats that i guess
