LEAGUE CHAMPS
At a special meeting of the
Huron-Perth baseball executive in
Exeter last week the league cham
pionship controversy was definitely
settled with St. Marys being named
the winners. After being boosted
into Intermediate “B” the question
arose as to whether Clinton or St,
Marys -would be the champs. The
executive voted in favor of the lat
ter by virtue of their two wins over
Clinton.
With St. Marys now in the-Inter
mediate “B" grouping it now means
that the Huron-Perth will have two
representatives in the semi-finals
this year. Clinton will proceed in the
*C” grouping and at time of writ
ing it is not known who they will
meet. St. Marys will face Goderich
Louzon Flyers in their first round
and will play their first game in
Goderich Wednesday afternoon with

The Exeter men’s softballers have
taken the lead with their final series
against Sharon in a nip-and-tuck
struggle on the local diamond Mon
day evening. The locals took the
first game but lost in Sharon last
week 8-6. With their win, Monday
night, they now have the edge in the
best three-of-five series.
The third game was a see-saw af
fair with Exeter taking the lead in
a big seventh inning in which seven
runs were scored. Mason and Pfaff
did the tossing for Sharon with
Sears on the mound for the winners.
Gerry Wein clouted a long home
run with one on in the seventh.* * * *

that Zurich were without the serv
ices of their top pitcher, Bill O’Brien
they gave the visitors a good game
in Zurich last week. The final score
was 9-6.
