Cornish student won the All Ontario title in the 13-year-old girls free throw basketball championship af- ter sinking the basketball 21 times out of 25 shots in the re- gional final.

Former Eagles join Gamblers OMHA proposed amendments may have affect on Port Perry Minor Hockey Delegates will be asked to deal with 19 amendments when the Ontario Minor Hockey Asso- ciation (OMHA) holds its annu- al meeting in Toronto this com- ing Saturday. The OMHA is the govern- ing' body for some 86,000 young- sters playing on just over 6,200 minor teams in this province. One of the proposed amendments could have an im- pact on the Port Perry Minor system, ifitis adopted. The Cobourg Minor Hockey Assoc. has proposed that the second or B level teams play only second or B level teams from other centres in OMHA playoffs. Centres like Port Perry, with B teams, often have had to face the A team from other com- munities in playoffs. Another proposed amend- ment calls for an automatic stoppage in play should the face-guard and/or helmet of any player come off during play. Another proposed amend- ment calls for a minor and mis- conduct for abusive or obscene language or gestures by players or team officials. Persistent ac- tion of this nature will result in a game misconduct. And if a referee cannot identify the offender, a bench minor can be called against the team. The rule used to call for a gross misconduct against the 'player, which resulted in a two game suspension, but did not penalize the team. It is assumed refs will still have the option of handing outa gross misconduct. A new rule being proposea by the Penetang Minor Hockey Assoc. would stipulate that any player wishing to play Junior level hockey, must first com- plete a season of minor midget (16 years of age) in his home Pilkey shines in Gambler debut With the withdrawal of the Port Perry Eagles for the balance of the 1990 season, three players from the Eagles squad have join- ed the Greenbank Gamblers. Larry Pilkey, Dave Dickson and Lawrie Williams are now members of the Greenbank team and all played in the Gambler home game last Monday night. And Larry Pilkey made his presence felt immediately as he belted a pair of long home run blasts and each time with a man on base to lead the Gamblers to a 6-3 win over Richmond Hill *'Star One." Richmond Hill started off the game in great style as their cat- cher Dénny Griffith belted a two run homer in the top of the first inning. But the Greenbank team storm- ed back in the bottom of the first as Rod Real, Brian Till and Don Beaton each singled cleanly ahead of Larry Pilkeys first homer and the Gamblers had a 4-2 lead which they never relinquish- ed. In the third inning Brian Till drew a base on balls and again Pilkey laced a long home run drive to round out the scoring in the game. Mark Goreski and Lawrie Williams teams up to shut down the Richmond Hill batters for the rest of the game except for the fifth inning when 'Star One" pushed across a run on a double by Bruce Marsh, and Greenbank had a 6-3 victory. On Sunday afternoon in Green- bank Park the Gamblers again fell behind early in the game as the Oshawa Merchants scored twice in the top of the second inn- ing on a pair of singles intermix- ed with a Greenbank error and two hot batsmen as Mark Goreski suffered a temporary loss of control. And this time around the Gamblers could not come back with the runs they needed to win as John Logeman pitched a nifty two hitter to shut out the Gamblers by a 2-0 score. Mike Cannon had two hits for Oshawa but the big blow for the Merchants was a clutch single to his opposite field by Barry McKenna that netted the only runs in the ball game. This Monday night the Cana- dian National Jewish team are visitors to Greenbank Park and the last time these two teams met the Gamblers lost the Macabi team and their ace pitcher Mark Bendehan by a 1-0 score. Friday night sees Greenbank in Richmond Hill for an 8:30 game against Bradford and on Monday June 25th the Richmond Hill Mer- chants will be the visitors in Greenbank Park. Don't forget that on Monday, June 9th, the Canadian Cham- pion, Owen Sound Canadian Tire team, will be in Greenbank to: play a double-header against the Gamblers. Injured Greenbank Pitcher Wayne Wells was at the game on Sunday, but is still on the limp and still a week or two away from re- joining the Gambler pitching staff. There is great fastball enter- tainment every Monday night in Greenbank Park. There is no ad- mission or collection taken but the Gamblers are hoping your would join their booster club which is on- ly $10.00 for 1990. community.
