Opener Is Always The Same:
Tigers Edge Tribe In
The Huron-Perth Baseball
League’s opening game is in a
rut—every year Dashwood Tigers
edge Exeter Legion Mohawks by
a slim margin in a pitchers’ duel.
That’s what happened again
Monday as the teams clashed to
start the '54 season. The Tigers
rustled up seven runs to the Mo
hawks’ five.
Robbie Wein again won the
pitching duel with Steve Mitro.
Although Mitro fanned more men
and allowed fewer hits than
Wein, the Mohawk liurler struck
all his trouble in the fifth in
ning and allowed five disastrous
runs. He whiffed 13 batters and
gave up seven hits. Wein struck
out seven and allowed 10 hits.
After threatening in both the
first and third innings, Exeter
broke scoring ice in the fourth
when Bill Jupp singled Steve
Mitro home. Ron Howe gave the
Mohawks a 2-0 lead in the fifth
when he scored after hitting a
double.
Perfect Start
Mitro baffled the Tigers with
perfect hurling in the first two
innings. He struck out five of the
first six men. In the third, he
walked the first two batters but
jumped out of the hole with
two strikeouts and an easy in
field out. In the fourth he weak
ened more, allowing two hits and
a walk but squeezed through

another single for five runs.
Chuck Parsons relieved Mitro and
retired the side.
When Tigers threatened again
in the sixth, Mohawk Manager
Jijn Fairbairn threw Mitro back
to the mound and Steve went
well again. The Tiger’s winning
run came in

Slugs Triple
Mitro boosted his
into the game with a big triple
in the eighth that set up two
runs and narrowed the margin to
6-4. Carl Wein’s walk and Bob
Stormes’ double brought in Dash
wood's seventh run in the last of
the inning.
Mohawks threatened again in
the ninth when Ron Howe busted
his second double of the game.
He scored on an error which put
Bob Meharg on first. Fred Dar
ling’s single put the tying run
on the base but Wein doused the
fire by striking out Jack Elson.
Both sides showed some new
faces for the opener:
Back at first for Dashwood
was Bob Stormes, the leftie who
helped them win the Huron-1
Perth title in 1952, and he clout
ed a single and double in four
trips; Gerry Guenther, a Windsor
boy who’s visiting relatives in the
area, played several innings in
the outfield.
New Mohawks
New in Mohawks uniform were
Ron Howe and Bill Jupp, two
former Centralia Flyers players;
George Glendinning, McGillivary ■
softballer; Terry Wade, former
midget who started at second
base; and Pete Ellis, local air
man who just returned from Eu
rope.

Public Officials
Beat Managers
Public officials bested the
team managers in the ceremonies
which officially opened this sea
son’s Huron-Perth schedule at
Dashwood on Monday.
With Tom Pryde, M.L.A., call
ing the pitch, Jack Morrissey,
Stephen reeve, fired the opening
ball to Mickey Webb, Dashwood
Tiger manager. Webb knocked a
grounder back to the mound and
Morrissey made a clean pickup,
fired the ball to Hay reeve Earl
Campbell at first base for the
out. Jim Fairbairn, Exeter Le
gion Mohawks' manager, was
Webb’s runner on the play.
Tribe Adds
New Strength
Although the team is still get
ting organized, Exeter Legion
Mohawks will be strong contend
ers in the Huron-Perth, officials
predicted this week.
The club is seeking more
strength on the mound and is
trying out new players this
week.
Jim Loader, Mitchell baseball
and hockey player, will try out
for an infield position. He has
secured a position at Canadian
Canners Ltd.
Jim Fairbairn, manager of the
Mohawks for the past four sea
sons, was re-appointed to the
position last week. Ed Hunter-
Duvar has been named coach.
Both mentors were happy with
the showing of the club at Dash
wood considering that they were
able to have only one practice
before the game. The Mohawks
led for half of the tilt but were
edged 7-5 in the late innings.
Next game for the locals will
be Friday at Mitchell. The first
home game will be on Friday,
June 4, when Dashwood Tigers
play their return tilt here.
