one of the most feared batters in the markham township softball league is bert raker ruttonviues hardhitting catcher the solid 200 pound receiver has added a power of strength to the sluggers lineup and will probably prove a big factor in their strive to regain the championship bert wellknown around this district for his defensive sji i 1 with the stouffville clippers hockey squad has played ball with bill hoods crew on other occasions but this year he has become a regular on the team and is a welcome addition to the battery of any squad with one mighty swing iiaker will tear the cover off a fast ball and pitchers have discovered this often too late and will settle for a walk or a single with a slow ball bert has played with the best of softball teams in the city of toronto and he brings a load of talent and experience into the markham league auiivigli his usual position is behind the plate he is also a master on the mound if the need should arise the fourth con cession sluggers have failed to drop a name this year in which baker has participated and his ability to come through in the clean up position may be just the tonic buttonville have been looking for in order to win the

plans were drawn up one year ago it was believed that 3000 would be sufficient to cover the project according to reports however the village council was not in favor of the setup and plan 2 was brought into circulation this plan involved considerable more expense in wiring switches etc running the total cost to over the 4500 mark four men in markham nave been very in fluential in obtaining

appears that another campaign must be started in order to put the sum over the top imk koi a ciiangk ix pro ball playoff sktlf in the american and national leagues the top teams at the end of the regular schedule automatically meet for the champion ship in a league where the clubs are closely bunched such a setup is quite in order as the tension and interest is maintained right up until a pennant winner is decided this year however the competition appears to be quite onesided with the new- york yankees literally steamrolllng over all opposition at the present time the yankees hold an eleven and a half game margin over cleveland their closest rivals and barring any drastic nosedives they would seem to be a cinch for the american league crown in- the national league it is quite a different story with the milwaukee braves holding a two and a half game edge over tho brooklin dodgers taking the american league for example if the baseball heads would banish their present system of a top team playoff and take the same form as used in the stanley cup hockey finals then the supporters might have some thing to look forward to instead of figuring their club out of the big money before the schedule is only partly completed the way tiie teams are arranged at the present time such entries as detroit si louis and philadelphia might just as well drop out of the running as far as their hopes of capturing the pennant are concerned if however the top four clubs in each league could stage a five game playoff series these cellerdwellers might easily stage a surprising rally and knock off some of the leaders of course with over one hundred games left for each team to play the gap between the yankees and the remaining teams may yet he narrowed down io counues tins from xuv 17
