J. H. ORMISTON Editor and Manager PHONE 703 WHITBY AND DISTR 4. THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Thursday, August 13, 1953 Whitby Represented In Senior 'B' For By DOUG. MANTZ This year for the first time since softball started in Whitby, the town will be represented in senior "B" category. The Whitby Stokers will move up to senior rating at the conclusion of their Highview Park and District Softball Intermediate "A" League schedule, on August 14. VIC IGGLESDEN are the Whitby Stokers, our sen- jor entry; the Whitby Royals, lead- the Southern Ontario County Intermediate 'B' League, and the Little Stokers. This Juvenile team made a fighting finish in the All- Ontario Juvenile Finals last year and are playing in the Oshawa and District Juvenile A League. They are in second place in this fast league and have a bye to the OASA Juvehile 'B' playdowns. Vic Igglesden, president of the Whitby Softball Association and manager of the Whitby Stokers, was jubilant over the increasing variety of softball that is becoming available for the Whitby fans and players. "This year, ten softball teams have been active in town. All of them are having or have had a very successful season. The girls of the town have a good opportun- ity Io play ball Iu tisir own group ings. Whitby Torches are second place in their league. The Intermediate 'AA' Whitby Clean- ers are waiting: for Brampton whom they will meet in the first round of their playdowns for the Ontario title. "For the , there have beem chool teams in addi- te. ed with the Ontario Amateur Soft- ball Association. In the OASA this year, and directly affiliated with the Whitby Softball Association, Jack Spencer and the players on the Stokers have put on a good brand of ball this year. Jack is a goud judge of softball players and ows the game thoroughly. I'm sure they can made a good show- ing in senior circles," he added. . "I'm proud of the activities of the players and management of the thy Stokers,'"" said Sid Cor- rell, representing Automatic Heat- ing sponsors of team. "We first sponsored the Stokers in 1950 and have been in the Ontario OASA finals for their groupin| 950 an Eastern Ontario OASA intermediate 'B' finalists. Last year they were eliminated from Intermediate "A" Eastern playdowns by Belleville. I still think the conditions in Belleville were far from what they should have been. However, we are look- ing forward with the team for more fields to conquer. I am sure the members of the team and the fans of Whitby, will get a lot of enjoy- First Time ment out of the senior playoms." "Yup," said Jack Spencer, coach of the Stokers, "I think we're ready for a jump in 'category. We have a well-balanced defensive team with plenty of reserve for all posi- tions on the diamond. With the ad- dition ef several really fine. pitch- ers this year, we are ready to take a stand against any of the senior 'B' teams in the OASA. Our team- batting average is better than good and, with the ending of the holiday periods, we will have our full] | strength." Since the Stokers were re-organ- ized in 1950 until the finals of last year, they have played in the Southern Ontario County Softball League. In 1950, they finish the regular schedule in first place, but lost out in the best of three games for the Clifford Cup to Brooklin. In 1951 they again lead the way to the finishing line in the SOCS league. They won the Clifford trophy by eliminating Brooklyn in the fifth game of a three-out-of-five series. Last year they finished fourth in the same league but went on to the Eastern Ontario finals. Dick Sundin, secretary of the Whitby Softball Association, has supplied the following historical BE uid of the Association and its activities. In 1949 softball was really in the doldrums in Whitby. The only team reasonably sure of playing that year was the Whitby Cleaners in Intermediate AA' Ladies. A few players from the disbanded Legion team of the previous year scouted around to try and get a team going. Freddy Hatch and Dick Sun- din, with Taffy Mayne in reserve, were the pushers. It was decided that the st idea was to work on a long term plan for softball. On May 25th, 1949, the Whitby Softball Association was organized. The main cogs in its conception were: George Mowat, Alf Reardon, Frank McCullough and a guy by the name of Carl Mantz. With a basic organization established that would not break down at the end of each playing season, the Associ- ation directed its attention to im- roving conditions at the Town ark and encouraging other teams to becomg active. A men's team was organized; it was known sim- P ply as the Whitby Inter "B,s' and had no commercial sponsor. In the first year, Price Yards donated the yellow score board which is now behind the screen. The Town Council supplied mater- ial in 1950 and players of the new- ly sponsored Stokers, and members of the Association constructed three moveable bleachers. During the winter of 1950-51, a drive was be- gun that culminatd in the erection of the flood lights and the present stationary bleachers with back stop. Last year the refreshment booth was erected and two addi- tional floodlight lamps were install- ed. This year the softball players and members of the association got busy and painted the fittings of the park. The Association held its fifth con- secutive annual meeting on March 21 of this year. Members of the eneral executive are: Vic Iggles- mn, president; . Sam vice-president; Forbes 'Doc' Me- Ewin, treasurer; Dick Sundin, sec- retary. A special executive com- mittee is comprised of a represent- ative from each team affiliated with the Association.

PHONE 703 SHOULD GET INFORMATION Citizens contemplating building homes particularly in outlying sec- tions should first ascertain if wa- ter and sewer services are avail- able, because they may find it dif- ficult to obtain these on account of the heavy construction costs in- volved = costs that are charged to the general rate. This is the opinion of the Public Utility Com- mission; which recently success- fully uested the Council to in- struct the building inspector to mark on all permits whether or not water and sewer services are available. This is a matter that comes up at almost every Com- mission meeting and Tuesday night was no exception. HEAVY POWER ACCOUNT An account for $8,818.02 from the Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario for power supplied to the Town of Whitby in the month of June was passed for payment at Public Utility Commission meet- ing Tuesday night. Power bills are higher this year but there has been no increase in local power rates. PASS MANY ACCOUNTS Because of the large volume of materials required for water and sewer extension and improvements being carried out this year by the Public Utility Commission, bills are heavy. Tuesday night the Com. mission passed accounts totalling $33,916.78. They cover such things as water and sewer pipe, electric transformers, water meters and a Bost of Sthier things. ay iY PAGE CARELESS DRIVERS Kitty Hemingway was fined $10 and costs when she, pleaded guilty before Judge John Grudeff, in the Whitby Police Court, to a charge of carless driving.

By ANTHONY DICKASON Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP)--Do sea monsters exist off Canada's coasts? You'll see a sea monster on Parl- iament Hill here sooner than you'll find a fisheries biologist who will come out with a flat 'no' to that one. A qualified "no," maybe, but never a flat one. Particularly after that ghastly thing dredged up off Africa some months ago, a mon- ster supposed to have'become ex- tinct 2,000,000 years ago. A fisheries department expert here was asked to comment on two reports: (a) that fishermen at West Dover, N. S., had been chased by a fish described as 30 feet long with a yellow head and grey body and (b) that iron miners on Bell Island in Conception Bay on New- foundland's east coast had seen a 40-foot monster of greenish hue with dark stripes. "The probability exists there are many fish--and large ones--in the sea that we do not know," he said. In case that should keep fisher- men awake nights, he hurriedly added: "But nothing has ever been seen in Canadian waters, ad au- thenticated, that is .not listed in a science book somewhere--to date." The fisheries expert said that from time to time fish appear in regions where they have no bus- iness being. Fishermen see a "monster" and may become ex- cited about the find, whereas it is only a fish from another clime. He mentioned an instance where a basking shark had been caught near Price Rupert, B. C. By the Biologists On Monster Tales Shaky time biologists had heard of the catch, the fish had sprouts) figur- ative whiskers and hair. Yet the 18-to-20foot shark was comparat- ively common. Canada's fishing records on the east coast go back 400 years, on the west coast 'nearly 150. But kno ledge of fish which exist--or may exist--in deep waters is limited or altogether unobtainable. Little or Sothing is known of possible mon- sters lurking below 100 fathoms, such as the South Africa catch, said to be the link between land and sea creatures. When the trans-Atlantic cable wa hoisted to the surface for repairs after the First World War, strange, ugly, previously unknown fish were found clinging to the line. The fisheries expert said that if there is an to the West Dover and Bell Island reports, "it will be the first time in recorded Canadian fishing history." This flat statement gave the cold shoulder to both Victoria's Cadbor- osaurus--Caddy for short -- and Okanagan lake's Ogopogo doesn't live in the sea now but, as every- body knows, he swam from the Pa- of subterranean rivers. A tourist reported two years ago he had taken photographs of Vic toria's monster. As luck would have it, he dropped his camera over the side of the boat in the excitement. : One suggestion is that Halifax and Bell Island think up tourist- trade names for their monsters without delay. Multi-Colored Sea Monster Chases Men HALIFAX (CP) -- Fishermen at nearby West Dover have been chased from their fishing grounds by a fish described as 30 feet long with a yellow head and grey body.

By Cliff GORDON _ Whitby Royals played host to Pickering on Monday night, 'in the first game of a best in three in the South Ontario League. The score of the game being 12-3. Wally Samanski, the' colourful hurler of the Royals, was again at his best as he limited the vis- itors to but three hits and whiffed no less than 17 men. McKee was the best in a losers cause as he picked up a homer and double in two tries, while Pyette collected a short single. Heffering with a homer and double in three tries, Ab Samanski with a homer, double and single in five tries and Roy Trimm with two doubles and a sin- gle in four tries were the Royals power men.
