That is why present plans are being developed .to offer any interested boy between the ages of nine and 17 an opportunity to play baseball this summer at Smythe Park on Jane Street. match, Our Lady of Victory also managed a comâ€" manding lead in the series, led by John Mcintyre and John Giovaninni with two goals apiece. Added scores York Baseball Association, formerly known as the Army, Navy and Airforce league, recently held its annual election. A new 10â€"person executive was elected. President Tom Carter proposed a plan to provide more baseball for more boys. In order to accomplish this, he indicated support would be necessary from our local government, financial backers, willing coaches and competent umâ€" pires. Already, a great deal of interest and assistance has appeared. Elected with Tom were George Webb, viceâ€" president, who has devoted much time to the Weston Minor Hockey Association; Doug Gray, secretary; Mitzi Vada, treasurer, and Bill Shaw who becomes the new business manager. Also appointed to positions on the executive were Armand Middlebrook, Bill Kelly, Ron Thompson and Bob Ewasyn. Don Morrison proved lone marksmen in a second atom encounter to give All Saints a 140 victory against Trans figuration. In minor bantam play it was Our Lady of Victory defeating Transfiguâ€" ration 7â€"3. A semiâ€"final Under the new name the league will begin its eleventh season at Smythe Park.

For this occasion a parade and other enjoyable acâ€" tivities will take place. SPORTS TALK: St. Benedicts took a commanding lead in the opener of a twoâ€"gameâ€"totalâ€" point series by whipping Our Lady Of Victory 8â€"3. The game was played as part of the Knights of Columbus Humber Valley Hockey League. Steve Gatzos sparked the Bennies with four goals, Pat Savickas counted twice, and Joe Sannuto and Steve Donaghue scored one goal apiece. Mike Murnaghan, Dennis Roland and Paul Dileo racked up one marker apiece for OLV. The league has had a share of championship teams and outstanding players. More important than this, however, has been the large number of fine, reputable citizens the league has produced. A group of former players have returned as coaches and umpires. Two fine young men presently involved in the league, Larry Street and Bob Ewasyn, teach school in the borough, as does the president, Tom Carter. One of the league‘s better pitchers of a few years ago, Bill Bunn, was signed by the Boston Red Sox and pitched ‘A‘ ball in the United States. JUST LAST YEAR the San Francisco Giants signed Gary Sklar, who caught for the Legion 31 midget team. A pitcher with tremendous potential now playing in the league is Ben Kawa. He threw five noâ€"hitters last season for the Legion 31 bantams. The park has seen its share of championship teams in recent years as well. Last season, for example, produced a city championship for the Mount Dennis midgets sponsored by the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 31. Prior to this, the Legion 31 bantams had won two city chamâ€" pionships. Our Sunoco peewees have done as well. The league‘s teams have always represented themselves and the Borough of York quite well in city playoffs and tournaments around the province. Even trips across the border have highlighted the baseball season for Smythe Park. With interest and enthusiasm at a new high, we are anticipating an exciting new season. Some clubs have already started to work indoors and preparations are well underway for them. Players wishing to become a part of this new baseball league can contact either Mr. Carter (769â€"0963), or Mr. D. Gray (767â€"1429) any day after 6 p.m. The league is also looking for new coaches and umpires who may also apply at the above numbers.
