16-PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Sept. 20, 1972 Richmond Hill captures The annual Chamber of Commerce Squirt Tourna- ment was held on Saturday. Four teams took part in the double knock-out event. Richmond Hill - Oshawa - Stouffville and Port Perry Legion. The first game at the Lakefront Park started at 9:30 as Oshawa edged Stouf- fville 7 - 5. At the Legion, Diamond Richmond Hill de- feated Port Perry 7 - 3. Richmond Hill then met Stouffville and knocked them out of competition with a 16 - 12 win. This game went one extra inning. Port Perry then defeated Oshawa 7 - 4 as they came up with a big sixth inning to win the game. A draw was held to see who would get a bye into the finals and Oshawa drew it. Richmond Hill then de- feated Port Perry 20 - 8 to eliminate the local boys. This set the stage for the Championship Game which saw Richmond Hill defeated Oshawa 6 - 3. This was a great softball game as these two young teams battled for five innings without a run being scored. Then Oshawa came up with three big runs in the bottom of the sixth and this looked like the ball game. In the top of the seventh, Richmond Hill Legal to list unemployed Chief Electoral Officer Jean-Marc Hamel said Sat- urday that voters may list their occupation as unem- ployed on electoral roles. Mr. Hamel's decision came after complaints from Frank McGee, Progressive Conservative candidate in Ontario riding. The ruling came on the last day for enumeration for the Oct. 30 election. Mr. Hamel said the only way a person could have his occupation listing changed now would be to go to the court of revision. Gof C tournament trophy showed true championship form when they battled back with six runs to win the trophy. The hpi trophy and ribbons were presented to the Richmond Hill boys by Vin Walker on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce. Chairman Don Thompson and his umpires did a great job as the teams all ejoyed a {ine day of softball and were treated to sandwiches and pop by the coaches W. Ives. Queen priviledged area ited is operating and employ 40 - 50 persons, but hopefully the plant is expected to triple in size in the future. General Motors is the largest customer and some of the production is shipped to US.. C.C.M, is also an important customer of the company. Most of the mach- inery in operation is from the plant that ceased operation in Orangeville, Mr. Christie told those present. The president, Dr. Wm. Cohoon, in a brief report, told the members some of the intended projects to be financed by the net proceeds from the Western Weekend had been met with unexpec- ted difficulties. The tree- planting on Queen Street had to be abandoned due to the narrow sidewalks. The _ $1,500. allotment for the painting of the Arena, must at least wait until a study of the soundness of the struc- ture has been completed. At the moment it appears the 1975 International Plow- ing Match awarded to Ont- ario County may well be held on a farm in the close vicinity of Port Perry. Dr.Cohoon hinted at this possibility following a dis- cussion he had recently with Mr. Hugh Baird, a member of the appointed committee. According to Mr. Baird, two farms in this area have been found to be the most likely sites following a study of Pee Wees win opener The Grant Menzies Pee- wees defeated Beaverton in the first game of the finals for the Twin County Cup by a score of 10 - 7. The Port Perry boys a bit ; rusty from a two week lay off after eliminating Manilla in the semi-finals were hard pressed to hang to an early - 10 - 2 lead. The next game will be played at the Port Perry fairgrounds on Sun- day, Setpember 24th at 1 p.m. This may well be your last chance to see the local boys in action and we are certain they will appreciate your interest. St. not farms in the County. One is located in the Seagrave area and a second one south of Port Perry. No names or particulars in regard to the farms were mentioned, how- ever, at the moment it appears the farm north of Port Perry is the most favoured. Unable to be present for a presentation was John B. McClelland, associate editor with the Port Perry Star for the past year. The executive of the Port Perry Chamber wanted to acknowledge Mr. McClelland for his support to the Chamber from his many favourable articles in the Star columns.
