p 6 the stouffylltf tiueune thursday juiy 21 w55 imskd score boabi manay parts have no r boards some have boards with ninety per cent of the spice taken up ita advertisements stouffville has a large score board in eeotre sed which xu constructed solely for the use of ball teams bat up to date it has not been used for a single same why i wish i knew there are plenty of young fellows down at the park who would be only too willing to mark the rcore down on the board if someone would provide them with a piece of chalk there is nothing more confusing to peftitors than to sit through a tubt ball game not knowing whether the home club u ahead or behind with playoffs close at hand its time our score board was put to some use it wasnt placed in the park for an ornament itlskitmx brawl its not often that a real briwl ever breaks out at a ball game but recently during a tricounty contest at lindsay a near freeforall occurred newmarket were the visitors and hurler ortie thorns of the county townees clipped lindsays bob lewis with a wild pitch lewis temperature suddenly shot up over the normal 5s6 degrees and in a fit of anger he threw his bat out iast third base the umpire handling the game wouldnt toss the lindsay player out of the contest and quite a rhubarb devel oped even the lindsay fans didnt take too kindly to such a display of temper it was one of many near blovups another near skirmish developed when lindsays lloyd tamblyn objected to blns tagged off third base by newmarkets harold stephen son in a rundown play the game took close to four hours to complete newmarket won the marathon contest 104 modern day robin hoods on the weekend your sports reporter took a drive over to bailururae to visit the york county bowmans club which has its headquarters on the 7th concession of whitchurch north of the ballantrae sideroad the club house is located in a reforesta tion area and the location is clearly identified by a large hand made sign at the gate the association a branch of the toronto anglers and hunters club has fiftytwo charter members and four yearly members they have purchased 41 acres of land and intend to make it a yearround sports centre on driving up to the club house i was greeted by mr arthur joyce a resident of mount dennis and an enthusiastic modern day robin hood i admitted to him that archery was sport that i knew little about so he proceeded to explain some of the highlights of the game after a short briefing i also realized that it was rather an expensive sport especially if the bowman decides he must have the best bows the best arrows and the more costly pieces of equipment good bows can cost up to 175 each and good arrows up to 3700 per dozen bows can also be purchased for 1300 and arrows for 4 so per doz my curiosity could not be satisfied until i went out on the range and saw for myself what these archers could do with their bows and arrows at a distance of approximately forty feet they could chalk up a fine score on the target and at a slightly closer range nothing less than a bullseye would even be con sidered in a matter of minutes the black spot in the centre of the target was completely obliterated one of the members informed me that a good archer with a 75 pound bow could shoot an arrow at least s00 yards for accurate shots the distance the wind velocity and the strength of the bow must be considered by the archer an arrow can kill any animal from a groundhog to a deer the main reason why archery has increased in popularity over the years is according to the members because everyone in the family can enjoy it perhaps this is the sport for you the club is open on weekends and the targets are ready and waiting for those who wish to practice during the week remember if you decide to use the 75 pound bow on your first practice shot make sure you have a good bowlfull of wheaties before you take to the target course hkre and there the toronto maltlands lacrosse club have
