The Huron Expositor, 1970-08-20, Page 6Pee Wees At The Lions Park Kincardine Eliminates Local Pee Wees, Bantams Action At The Public School Diamond Hippy Housewives Win 4th Straight Over the . Bare Ones SPORTS SCENE by Ding As the holidays near an end and with school only a couple of weeks away more and more footballs are seen floating around the area streets, the tennis balls have been replaced by basketballs as the high school court is being well patronized. Baseball is in it s dying weeks as the local teams bring their seasons to a closee The Bantam team went down fighting but couldn't overcome a large Kincardine ball club as they dropped two straight games in the finals to finish their season. The Pee Wees didn't fare much better as Kin- cardine humiliated them In the first guile of their playoffs. Industrial ball is proving to be exciting sport as the league enters it s final week of regular season play with first place still in doubt as the Teachers and Fire- men are presently tied for the lead. With the final games being played next Monday night it will be interesting to see the out- come as this first year proved to be Most successful. Turning to major league baseball it looks as if two Division Champs have already been decided as Cincinnati of the Western Division of the National League and Baltimore of the Eastern Division of the American League have all but vir- tually clinched their respective pennets. The Eastern Division of the National League has Pittsburgh holding a slight edge over the New York Mets and Chicago Cubs. While in the Western Division of the American League lelinnesotahasblown a big lead to the Oakland and California teams to make a real.pennet race in their division. However, I'll still pick the present leaders in each division to hang on and win their respective pennets with Cin- cinnati, beating Pittsburgh for the National League title and Baltimore edging Min- nesota for the American League title. Th World Series will see Cincinnati edge Baltimore in ,seven games to take the Championship. . A quick note on a worthwhile game being played in Seaforth this Saturday. The eat. Columban Socce4 team meet the London Croatia team at the High School ,field in a first round game for the Schaeffer Cup. This should prove to be a very interest- ing game and worthwhile attending.

Two errors on the part of the Kincardine team allowed Schenck to score Seaforth's first run. The fifth inning was Seaforth's most productive inning when 3 .runs crossed the plate. Joe Me- Lean and Bill O'Shea had singles ' and Terry Stephenson added a' double to account for Seaforth's scoring.
