Phone GEO SIMPSON the other hand Messrs Haley and Glover were certainly pitching terrific ball against Pine Orchard A continuance of this masterful chucking could bring the Rockets another Stan Cook triumphant march The point that amazes this corner is the number of Hub fans out at the Mount games In fact you do not see them over at the fair grounds for games here We guess they to get out and absorb some country air Thats the only explana tion can think of at the mo ment about the officiating before they think They are after all deal ing with a bunch of impression able boys who are bound to imitate their elders and parents always remember with a chuckle one of our few appear ances as an umpire It happen ed out at Pine Orchard when the regular assigned umpire didnt show One customer who prob ably didnt pay to watch kept up a continuous heckling job Maybe he was right certainly we werent the worlds best um pire however calling them as we saw them impartial- I would guess there were close LAKE FINALS The Lake Simcoe league playoffs have reached the frantic stage Three teams re main in the hunt for the Stan Cook trophy Albert and Zephyr Rockets by taking Pine Orchard in three

Newmarket lads into the discard Aurora will now rep resent the North York league in the OBA This paragrapher was a bit disgusted at the endless argu ments at Tuesdas game Base- umpire Lome Keffer finally chucked coach Robinson out of the game and rightly so If I had been the umpire I would have done the same thing Per sonally dont hold with these prolonged arguments be tween coaches and officials Several of the fans in our esti mation didnt help matters by their continuous riding of the of ficials As we remarked to one fan who was shooting off his face You know so much about it why dont you get out there and help the kids Grownups we feel have to watch their and qs in this regard If the lads hear their parents or grownups suggest A great soul prefers moderation 5 the of Seagram

taking the mask and doing it Natur ally he talked a good game but wasnt ready to take up the chal So we went back to um piring and didnt hear an other peep out of the heckler the rest of the evening Maybe thats what some of the other umpires should do You never hear this corner hardly ever that is complain about the officiating We figure the boys out there are doing the best job they can and certainly they are in a much better posi tion to call them on the field than someone or more feet away August Jottings Guess the Hub will be short one good ho ckey player come December We notice Lome
