intermediates to two wins and a.........
playoff spot in the “C” division
of elm Huron-Perth during the
week.
Chuck Parsons allowed only
one safety as the locals whipped
Clinton RCAF 12-0 Friday night
and Don Wells won a 3-2 vic
tory over Centralia Monday.
The young flingers baffled
their opponents with plenty of
‘'stuff”. The airmen went down
swinging on slow curves and
drops.
The victories gave the locals a
record of five wins, 11 losses
and two ties over the season.
Don Wells hurled hitless ball
for three innings while his mates
came from behind a 2-1 handi
cap to win Monday night.' He
relieved Chuck Parsons’ weary
arm after the latter gave up two
runs on four hits in the first
half of the six-inning tilt.
Although Centralia’s Chaisson
allowed only one hit over the
route, he gave two free passes
in the last inning to throw away
his game.

run for the locals on a boner

Fine Debut
Sixteen-year-old Chuck Parsons
made a spectacular debut into
the Huron-Perth league by hurl

Clinton RCAF Friday night.

In the meantime, his new mates
blasted two Clinton pitchers for
11 hits, including triples by
Fred Darling and Jim Fairbairn.
Dick McFalls, midget battery
mate, slugged u two-for-three re
cord to lead the winners at the
plate. Darling and Bob Russell
each collected two safeties.
The locals pulled a double
play in the last inning to cut
off a possible threat by the air
men. Harry Jacobi, Lome Haugh
and Fred Darling figured in the
feat.
A GOOD SHOT IN ANY LANGUAGE — In Finland, 17-
year-old George Genereux is called “huelimatta taysmestari”.
That means a superlative marksman and George, from Saska
toon, earned the title by winning the gold medal for shot
gun artistry. It was Canada's first Olympic gold medal since
