btolffvllxe8 gmoun3 rixb vktr vaglb i wonder how many baseball far really udertaad tne ground rule that are jupposedly in force in stoufivillea mem orial park it ems that practicily every game played here it marred through lack of kround rule knowledge since the local park haa not aa yet obtained a home run fence certain rules must bo made but in the majority of case no one except maybe the plate umpire really knows what theae rules are if these ground rule werent in force a bitter could easily hit a single under joe dokes car parked below the single wire barricade and stretch it into a borne run as the fleider tries frantically to retrieve the eluaiv ball the only way to properly solve this ground rule problem is to erect a home run fence but until this la done a written set of rules should be presented to the two umpires and the two coaches prior to the contest this should settle all arguments here is a list of the ground rules as obtained from the red so manager ted cadieui 1 any ground ball that rolls through the fence or bounces over it goes for two bases 2 any fly ball over the fence u a home run j any ball that strikes i light standard is in play 4 any played ball that eludes the fielder and goes through the fence is good for a double plus an extra base 5 a wild throw that bounces off the screen is in play 6 a ball that enters the crowd allows the runner one base s waxtkd an organized community league interest in the formation of an organized community soft ball league here in stouffville is increasing and next season it is hoped that a satisfactory group mikht be arranged for the past few summers such a league has been attracting good crowds at claremont and it is your reporters opinion that an equally buecesaful arrangement could be made here stouffville could combine with claremont or could work separately throughout the season with the winners playing off for a trophy over at claremont there are six clubs altona pine grove mt zlon fourth line greenwood and claremont surely four clubs could be formed here without too much trouble and if necessary the group could expand the following season stouffville could easily field a team while peaches and cedar grove are also interested the teams would comprise strictly local talent and no topnotch imports should be allowed to play in order to test the strength of the claremont league peaches have made arrangements to play altona in sn exhibition tilt in the near future altona is presently well up in the group standing now is the time to plan sucha group so we may have something to offer next spring when the softball season rolls around again shamrocks fold early operating a softball team here in stouffville appears to be a discouraging business manager ted edwards of the sham rocks has tried about everything in the book in an effort to build up a competitive club but without too much success early in the season five imports from brooklin were brought in to strengthen the infield and the squad scored as many victories in the first two weeks of the schedule as they have for the past two months manager edwards was criticized by many local ports enthusiasts for not using more home brew talent so the biookllnites were released from the lineup two or three stouff ville and district players were added to the teams roster but the power was gone and the shamrocks quickly slipped from first place in the league to the cellar whats the answer it seems queer that small villages such as unlonvllle thornhill button ville and agincourt can produce good softball clubs and yet stouffville with a population of more than 2000 people cannot pick up a dozen topnotch stars the shamrocks have a number of fine ball players on the team but they havent enough of them such stars as jack sumner clara fockler johnny lawrenson gord forgie and murray wagg could probably hold down a position on any club in the markham league but should one or two of these men find it impossible to attend a game then theres no one to all the gap take jack sumner off the mound and the team practically falls apart at the seams per haps the trouble lies in the fact that stouffville has always been a baseball town and is a comparative newcomer to the softball picture it takes time to build up i smoothworking club take buttonville for instance and looking into their history you will find that manager bill hood has been directing that squad for around ten years they have players in their lineup that hardly ever miss a contest and it would be on a rare occasion that a spectator would be pulled from the crowd to fill a position this has been the case with stouffville for too many games and it is not good both for the opposing team or the league recently aurora was the visitor here and took the two points by default as the shamrocks were forced to use too many un signed players later the local club dropped out of the running altogether and failed to finish the schedule its quite a head ache for the management and very discouraging to the fem individuals that enjoy the game if you know of any irishmen around the district who can play softball tell them theres a position
