Hockey Booster Club ALL MEMBERS OF THE GODERICH HOCKEY BOOSTER CLUB ARE ASKED TO ATTEND A MEETING FOR THE ELECTION OF OFFICERS, FOR THE 1955-1956SEASON, ON THURSDAY OCTOBER 20 The Goderich, Dodgers are only the second team to ever bring an all -Ontario championship. to Gode- rich. They ,did so on Thanksgiving day when they eliminated Sud- bury for the intermediate, ladiee championship of the Ontario Atha- teur Softball Association. First team to win an Ontario champion- ship was the Louzon Fliers, ,who won the Junior "C" title of the Ontario Hockey Association. Be- fore that it was a case of "Often a bridesmaid but never a bride." More often than any town in .the district, Goderich had baseball and hockey teams in Ontario semi- finals and even the finals, without having that extra push needed to win the title. The Northern Ontario girls were loud in their praise of the hos- pitality and good, sportsmanship shown to them by Goderich play- ers, fans and officials. The .Sud-, bury ,gals, too, showed the very best in fine, spirit and good sports- manship. After the final game Monday morning while the Gode- rich girls were having their pic- tures taken, the Sudbury players gathered and sang, "For they are jolly good fellows.'.' A bit of horseplay was indulged in after the . game was over. "Shiner" MacDonald carried Gode- rich's star pitcher, Kay•,MacKinnon, over to a watertap'and gave her a good ducking. This he repeated with the catcher, Audrey McCabe. Then, all the Goderich players got hold of "Shiner," hoisted him over their heads and proceeded to give him a real ducking under the w.,t�er tap. Attendance at 'the game Satur- day night was over 700 and on Monday morning over 900. It should have been much larger, But in the man's town of Sudbury, girls' softball games draw few fans. It's a large crowd if they have 100 people there, according to the manager, Lil Scagnetti, of Garson. The Sudbury team goes under the name of Garson Combines, or- ganized in 1953. Team captain is Ruth Constable of Sudbury. Three of the players are from Sudbury, two from Faleonbridge nd ten from Garson. The team represent- ed Northern Ontario by virtue of its winning the Sudbury and Dis- trict Ladies' .Softball League, which was made up of the following five teains: Garson, Sudbury, Minnow Lake, Skead Road and R.C.A.F., Faleonbr.icdge. The players on the Sudbury team are mostly of j un:c: age, some of them 14 and 16 years old. . Mr. Hugh Hawkins, president of the W.O.A.A., congratulated "Mac" MacDonald, the Goderich manager, and the 'Goderich girls, an their win after the lfinal game. He point- ed out it was the oulmination of five years of effort. "The W.O.A.A. is ,proud of you and the girls," said Mr. Hawkins as he presented the W.O.A.A. trophy at that time. The Sudbury girls left Sudbury in two groups. One left at 2.30 p.m., Friday, :arriving here at mid - ."The other left at 5 a.m.. Saturday and arrived here at 2.30 p.m. A banquet at the Bedford Hotel and a victory parade around town followed the game on Monday morning. Town fire trucks were brought out to carry the- girls around the town proceeded by the Goderich Girls' Trumpet 'Band, who also marched to the grounds on Saturday morning. It was one great Goderich girls' organization paying ., tribute to . another great Goderich girls' organization. ,o 0 Customer: "I'd like to get some beet leaves for my husband.

And the common answer, is 1903. Probably that was the first year in ,' " which it was termed the ,-.;,world series" but facts are that an inter -league- series dates away back into the 80's. 1 Modern baseball record books don't use the` term "world series" in connection with inter -league series earlier than 1884. In that year Old Floss Radbourne, pitching his most famous brand of baseball, helped the National League champ, Provi- dence, nppw down the Metropolitans of the American Associa- tion sso i - tion in a 3-0 series. These were the days of three strikes and six balls. In 1882 Cincinnati, having been barred from the National League previously, joined the American Association andwon the title. But, on the authority of George Moreland in his book, "Balldom," mid also of the late Al Spink, unele of J. G. Taylor Spink of the. Sporting News and author of "The Nation- . al Game," world ehampionship series did not begin until 1884. • Both' authorities credit Anson's Chicago team with- playing its first "world series" with the St. Louis Browns i )885 and its second series in 1886. These two sets of games really launched baseball on its "world championship" career which has led to such imtfiiense popularity and to many "million del - Jar gates." In '11187, when St. Louis Browns played the Detroit team for the . "world" championship, spectators witnessed for the first and only time an -unusual batting spectacle. The batsman was allowed FOUR strikes: This was done away with the next year. . , In 1886r-•tha--"world series" was -bitterly -Fought �r 'the very good 'reason that it was a winner -take -all affair, unlike the winner -loser split that prevails in more modern times.
