The locals suffered their third defeat ijiid lost their grip on second place in the league. The score was tied 2-2 in the eighth when Bob Russell, Mo­ hawks’ starter, walked the second man he faced. Stafford stepped up to the plate and, with the count two and one, hit the high homer over right-centre field, Exeter staged a hitless rally in the last of the same inning but it failed when the tying run was caught at home plate. Joe Mitro started the rally when he reached first on a ground-ball error, He stole second and reached third when the Radar catcher over­ threw to second. Brother Steve brought him home on another ground-ball error. The younger Mitro reached third on another miscue and Jack Elson’s ground ball. With Fuller at the plate, manager Jim Fairbairn sent Steve home on a daring hit and run that failed. That was the last chance the locals had. Actually, the game was a pitchers’ battle with only two earned runs and eight legitimate hits in the full tilt. The runs came in on some of the 17 errors that were charged. Clinton scored the first run in the first of the fourth when Jim Barrqth rounded the bases on a passed ball and a double error. Exeter got it back in their half of the fourth when Joe Mitro scored on two errors and. a sin­ gle by brother Steve. The visitors went one‘up again in the fifth' with Doug Baxter scoring on a single, error and passed ball. Exeter’s second run came in the sixth when Harry Holtzman rounded the square on a couple of miscues. Bob Meharg, Lome Haugh and Mitchell rally which threatened to scuttle the win. Jack Fuller, who started on the mound and pitched good ball all the time he was there, was relieved by Steve Mitro after one run had scored and two errors and a walk filled the bases. The younger Mitro had no better success, however, and he allowed three more runs to score. With the bases still loaded and the tying ran at bat, Joe Mitro came to the rescue and retired the side. Joe, showing some of his best fo rm of the season, finished the visitors one-two-three in the ninth. Exeter scored two runs in the first inning to establish a lead they didn’t lose. Lome Haugh and Harry Holtzman scored on two errors, a liit-by-pitcher and a fielder’s choice. The locals added three in the fourth when Bob Meharg and Jack Elson hit singles. They drove Mitchell starter, Bill Gaten- by, off the mound and “Whitey” Malco took over, Mohawks didn’t take long to reach the small curve-ball artist, In the fifth, Fred Darlinig got to first on an error and Meharg’s big triple drove him around. Meharg, Steve Mitro and Elson scored on errors, walks and one single to make it a four-run inn­ ing. Harry Holtzman tallied the tenth run in the eighth inning after hitting a high double. Jack Fuller and Bob Meharg scored the best hitting marks of the night with two safeties each, Murray Colquhoun, Line Roh- fritsch. Izzy Powel and Malco each hit a single to account for Mitchell’s four hits. Fox’ the first time, a snow fence was erected in the outfield for long ball hitters to aim at. There were no home runs but the Crowd enjoyed the exeitexhent of a couple of close ones. SCORE BY MITCHELL EXETER .. MITCHELL Colquhoun, 3b White, 2b Rohfritsch, Salder, ss, Powell, c .........

Mohawks dumped the Legion­ aires 10-6 Friday night but the locals gave fans a few hectic moments before it was over. Mohawks were well in 'com­ mand—they had a 9-2 lead—go­ ing into the eighth inning but a succession of miscues in the field and a couple of walks helped a With only two weeks of play left in the Huron-Perth Baseball League, four teams are still run­ ning neck and neck for the top spot in the standing. Dashwood Tigers, Mitchell Le­ gionnaires, Exeter. Mohawks, and Strathroy Royals are all strong contenders for the coveted posi­ tion. The Tigers, last year’s cham­ pions, lead the league as of Thursday but they have played one more game than the other three. Dashwood and Exetei’ have the best mathematical chance of tak­ ing the title. These two have dropped only three games while Mitchell and Strathroy have both lost four. Mitchell, who lost the title last year to Dashwood, could cop the trophy again if either the Tigers or Mohawks lose one more game. If Mitchell suffers one more defeat, however, either Dashwood or Exeter could cop the honors. Strathroy Royals, although they have suffered one more loss than the other three teams, still have a good chance of taking the title if they knuckle down and win the rest of their schedule. The crucial games in the next weeks which will probably tell the title tale are Dashwood at Ex­ eter, Mitchell at Dashwood, and a home and home series between Strathroy and Exeter. Of the bottom five teams, St. Marys has the best opportunity to get up to the top. By upset­ ting Strathroy, Dashwood and Mitchell this week, the stone town crew has proven they are still contenders. However, they have eight games to play in 14 days —a heavy schedule for an ama­ teur outfit. Games scheduled for next week are: 16—Exetei* at Strathroy 20—Dashwood at Centralia Strathroy at Exeter Mitchell at Clinton RCAF 23—Strathroy at Centralia HURON-PERTH STANDING W L T p Dashwood ............. 8 3 1 17 Mitchell ................. 8 4 0 16 Exetei’ ................... 7 3 1 15 Strathroy ............... 6 4 1 13 Zurich .................... 5 6 1 11 St. Marys ............... 5 4 0 10 Centralia ............... 4 6 0 8 Seaforth .............3 7 0 6 Clinton RCAF ....... 1 9 0 2 Greys Revenge Dashwood 7-6 Exetei’ Greys sneaked a 7-6 victory ovex’ Dashwood Tigerettes Tuesday night. The win was re­ venge for the locals who lost their first game of the season to theii’ traditional rivals. Jean Taylox' went the route on the mound for the winners and scored one run. Her battery-mate, Pat Tuckey, starred offensively with three runs. Mary McKnight, Melba King and Lil Hunter- Duvar scored one run each. For the losers, Martha Goss- man and Dorothy I’etreau both rounded the bases twice while Shirley Guenther and Elain Bec­ ker tallied single counters. The Greys scored three runs in the first to get away to a good start. The score was tied 4-4 in the sixth but Exeter went ahead again 6-5 in the seventh and added anothex* in the eighth. In the last inning, Dashwood scored one run but the Greys tightened up to prevent another. “I’m very sorry,” said the dentist to the patient on the phone. “I can’t take care of you today, I have 18 cavities to fill." Then hung up on the phone, picked up his golf bag and hat, and left his office. round-tripper with none on. Bill Mussei* was the winning pitcher; Dyke and Fulcliei* shared the loss. ’REC LEAGUE .STANDING Maroons ................ Crediton ................ Legion ...................
