is definite yet.
‘’We’d like to get a team every
fan will be proud of and will
support,” he said. “That’s why
we want all the hockey fans out

Legion Mohawks pounded Sea
forth out of the Huron-Perth
playdowns Monday night with a
13-hit barrage which produced a
10-0 victory,
The locals were in top form
to wrap up the series in the
fourth game, Joe Mitro hurled
his first shutout of the season,
allowing only three hits. The
team’s brilliant performance in
cluded a home run, a double
.play and a double steal.
For the Seaforth players, the
tilt ended their first season in
the Huron-Perth league. Despite
their shaky start in June, the
newcomers played creditable ball
over the schedule and should, in
a year or two, strengthen the
league.
Mohawks will now meet the
league champions, Mitchell Le
gionnaires, in a best-of-seven set
for the loop's “C” title. The win
ner will advance into OBA play
offs.
Monday’s game was scoreless
until the fifth when Exeter broke
out with four runs, highlighted
by Elson’s circuit clout, The Mo
hawks added two in the eighth
and another four in the ninth.
Bob Meharg continued his play
off batting sprint with three sin
gles in five tries. Steve Mitro and
Howie Holtzman both collected
two safeties on the night.
Harry Jacobi, the twisting
righthander who once played for
Exeter, started for Seaforth and
struck trouble right on the open
ing pitch. Lome Haugh singled
and Doug Smith, the second bat
ter, dropped in a texas-leaguer.
Jacobi pulled out of the hole in
sensational fashion — he fanned
two, gave Fred Darling an inten
tional pass, and put the next
man out swinging on air.
Mohawks four-run spree in the
fifth came after two were out.
Doug Smith singled, stole second
and came home when the first
baseman bobbled Har Holtzman’s
grounder. Jack Elson smacked a
hard drive into left centre which
. rolled out of the field and past
the parking lot for a homer. Fred
Darling and Bob Meharg both hit
singles to bring around another
run.
Jacobi was pulled from
mound in the eighth after
first three hitters bingled in
runs. Meharg started the
with a single, Steve Mitro
lowed with another and Howie
Holtzman brought them both
home with a safety. Doug Bart
liff finished the inning and
off the rally.
Bartliff and his mates all
tered in the ninth as Exeter
together three hits and two
rors for the four runs. Elson,
