august sth will be the first big wrestling show to be staged in the stouffville arena m m markham quits girls softball league markham girls decided last week to drop out of the local softball league after completing nearly threequarters of the schedule it isnt a good thing for any league to have a team make a start and then pull out midway through the season it would not be fair to lay the blame on any particular in dividual but just as the other clubs in the group have improved with practice it would seem likely that markham should do the same if the necessary interest was shown the battery of shirley young on the mound and barbara ferguson back of the plate was a good com bination if the fielders had provid ed the support anyone who has had any experience in handling the coaching duties of a girls soft- ball team probably knows that there are times when every ounce of patience is needed to carry on but this is no reason why one should forsake his duties it has been decided that each club in the league will be automatically award ed two points for the remaining scheduled games with the disband ed team cedar grove will receive four points with unionville markham and stouffville

present time as they clouted out an 5 victory on monday night everyone knows that there ls an acute shortage of pitchers in the homesters lineup with hurle lome scheil being called on to carry practically the entire load during the season should the red sox moundsman tire as he natui- ally will in time the local squad hasnt a lopnotch relief hurler to take his place safe hits were not the only reason the red sox suffered their third straight loss on monday night there were some costly in field and outfield errors that would break the heart of any pitcher just before the sutton machine

ball down in the webbing of his glove the next batter lifted a long one into deep left field and with the bases loaded taylor singled througti the centre to score two second base man bud lehman had an
