For Pitching Its just come to your attention that weve beta neglecting oar Peel- York Softball chums outrageously this sem ester However King Citys championship winning effort over this past week cant be overlooked Most of the FeelYork experts didnt rate King a chance to knock over Bolton to prove the can be wrong King came through with a championship According to our statistician Brace Hall King Citys Mr Softball a veteran of many Softball pitching duels unfurled a brilliant three hitter to pace King City to a win over Bolton in the seventh and deciding game of their playoff round That victory staked King City to the league crown We think therefore this week it is only fitting that should rate the Hash man award anil Theatre passes and at the same time offer our congratulations to King City coach John Dew manager Bruce Hall and the newly crowned champs Well done men Haskett HASH By George Newmarket Sports Editor LEGION LOSES TO Newmarket Legions start in the OB A intermediate

From now on your scribe will do his own weather forecasting A week ago Saturday halted in tended trip here It was a good guess it rained all day Last Saturday we didnt trust our own forecasting so called the weather bureau at They said showers until noon then clearing The result let make the long haul and their trip was in vain To be a district convener you have to be a com bination weather

Wit ft- to BOYS SUITS All ud Plea MM el IMtV AM Ml Jan from here to you know where Personally think criticism is the best tonic in the world weve always worked on the principle if you dont do any thing youll never be criticized so if somebody is pot shooting at you or your work then you must be doing something If all the arm chair critics who do noth ing for sport but hoop and hol ler about someone elses endeav ours in this neck of the county were laid end to end theyd circle the globe umpteen times That leads us to mount our i soapbox to discuss the recent Aurora Newmarket Something that couldnt be done safely or sanely until some of the hotheads on both sides of the fence had simmered down Some report would lead you to believe Newmarket were the only cul prits say not so Like any good argument theres two aides to it One thing sure its been a pow der keg situation and everybody connected with the league knew it after Aurora or should we say an Aurora official filed a protest on the eligibility of New market players Jerry Hugo and Part that burned the local executive was that Au rora were using at least two players who were not eligible residence rule Now for game which was later ordered replayed and start ed the in earnest It was Newmarkets understanding the umpires too that it wns a nine innings affair Aurora did nt seem to hestitate about tak ing field in the eighth Theres nothing in or league rules to say re verted back to end of the seventh It was a legally drawn game and as such had to bo re played That brings us to the final ex plosion Here we con only speak from our own personal knowtedge and not on hearsay evidence Jimmy Murray Au rora couch called in our office Saturday morning la Newmar ket playing Monday Labor Day Wo couldnt answer that one so phoned Herb Cain Newmarket coach who advised No wo cant ploy Monday havent enough men to field a team There was no question of de faulting the game If Aurora appeared on the field Monday they did bo with knowledge that Newmarket wouldnt b there In touch with tho league Sunday was In formed that unless further no tice was forthcoming there would be no game Monday No further advice was received Newmarket suggested to the they would play Tuesday Wednesday Thursday or Friday Does that sound like stalling which tome folks auggested Newmarket were Why the didnt resume never know On Tuesday Sim- coe league secretary Doug Coul- son phoned and left a message that the league executive meeting Wednesday Your tied up hero as convener for the EdgarPine Orchard aeries President nnd Wednesday informing him we couldnt attend Next thing we hear from Ernie he received a breakfait time call to the effect league had ordered Newmarket and Aurora to play a suddendeath game la Aurora Friday That decision was made by the league executive in of four men who were not connected with either teem and therefore totally impartial They must been it the end their patience with the teams to mate tort death Jimmy Murray Aurora coach phoned Friday to say his boys wouldnt play Friday New market had nothing official from the league to say the game was off so Newmarket appeared at Aurora Friday and were order ed to play Barrie for the league title Aurora could not or would not play Friday and from what we could learn they could not say when they would be able to play until they had completed their playoffs It was nt any greater hardship for them to play Friday than for Newmarket Newmarket were scheduled to play Satur day in Its still our considered opin ion this whole situation could have been ironed out harmoni ously if some of the hotheads on both sides could have been sent packing and the two executives both interested in seeing base ball flourish could have sat down to a round table confer ence TIES SET WITH LEGION Newmarket Legion found Fri day that putting runners on base is only a small part of winning ball games The led Legion stranded seven men including two each In the third fourth and sixth and as a result dropped a decision to in the second game of the South Simcoe baseball league finals Ken Herb Cains nominee to toe the rubber show ed the effects of his three weeks holiday layoff and was touched for 10 hits ace Bill El- son was in good form on the winners mound allowing the locals but six hits Astern 60 Newmarket sand wiched three of their hits for two runs In the sixth Don Gib son opened with a safety Charlie VanZant fanned but Herb Cain came through with a towering triple to score Gibson whiffed too but Ken walked and Lloyd Harveys single scored Herb Cain Pinch hitter Thorns went down swinging to close the rally Newmarkets other big chance to break into the run scoring came in the fourth when Charlie VonZnnt doubled and Herb Cain singled but the rally petered out as was picked off third and Ken Broughton skied out The Generals broke from the wire first to bundle a 30 lead over the first four frames Bar rio had their big innings in fifth on singles and a base clear ing triple That uprising netted the Generals three runs and put them into a comfortable lend replacing tho in jured Jerry Hugo short pull ed off a sensational shoe string catch In the seventh to highlight the fielding a late Sport Mews Once again the Hub will have team in the Ontario fi nals Newmarket DoNuls qualified to meet for the title when they shut out the fair grounds Wednesday Jack Cain spun a sparkling three hit strike out game to pace the lo cals triumph and brother Bill caught a three star game Jack was never in trouble Only one Napanee runner reached third base Jack had a one cooking until the ninth Napanee tacked on two safeties Newmarket plunked runs in the kitty in second fourth and eighth and put across two in the seventh Lome with A tworun homer and two singles headed DoNuts plato work John gleaned three hits Frank coached DoNuts collected 12 hits in all DoNuts will go to rolla this Saturday to open final

champion by defeating Bolton lust Thursday in the seventh ami deciding game of the leagues final series A terrific throe hit pitching Job by veteran and single run scoring excur sions In the first fourth and sixth furnished the King City victory margin The Kingmcns triumph com- plettxl a great comeback The majority of Pool- York had Bolton ticketed to annex the pennant They good reason for this supposition Bolton sped through tho regular league with nut loss then they added pres tige by ousting Summit in three straight in the semis Bolton was set to continue the winning habits against King City In fact they went so far to win the first two gomes In finals Then King City led by battlers timet Hall Johnny Dow brought out the medicine and King a comeback that ended behind eight ball in the
