Phone 100 Exeter innings to run up an unearned 8- 1 lead which brought on the demise of the tribe. !Legionaires, despite the nume- rous injuries they suffered, came through to win the title' series four games to two With one game tied. The veteran Huron -Perth champions called out all their re- serves to retain ,the title they have won four of the last five years. The defeat ended a disappoin- ing season for Mohawks. The tribe, more balanced" and more powerful than ever before, was favoured to win the league title but had to settle for second place after a costly slump in the second half of the schedule. When Mo- hawks rallied to oust Auburn 4-1 in the semi-final series, it looked as if they had shaken the slump and could take Mitchell. Mohawks weren't able to touch Big (Doug Aitchison, Mitchell's ace hurler, in the first and third games of the series but when they finally got to him, Bill Gatenby returned to the Mitchell lineup to stop them again. Gaten- by appeared in three ball games in one week and won the vital sixth contest in Mitchell Friday. On Monday, three regular out- fielders were missing from the Mohawk lineup and firstbaseman Lorne Haugh suffered a coronory attack early in tire contest and had to be taken away in an ambulance. Manager Jim Fair- bairn used two pitchers in the outfield and bantam Jim Russell in the infield. In addition to their mistakes, the tribe suffered from bad breaks in the game. They outhit the Legionaires 10-8 but weren't able to turn the blows into many runs. iChuck Wheeler, who started for Exeter, allowed only five hits in six innings, but his wildness aided the visitors. Chuck Parsons finished the contest. Ron Kraemer started for Mit- chell but lefty Whitey Malcho re- lieved him in the fourth. Bill Gatenby, Bert White and Doug Aitchison scored two un- earned runs each. Line Rohfritsch and Whitey Malcho both collected two hits for the winners. Red Loader clouted three singles for Exeter. Bob Meharg and Bab Russell hit •two safeties each. Mitchell Wins Sixth Contest Mohawks spotted the Legion- aires four runs in the first two innings of Friday's :contest and found it too ,!much of a handioap. Although they pressed hard, Mo- hawks were never able to catch up and they dropped the sixth contest 7-5. The tribe staged a dramatic rally in the ninth inning but Bill Gatenby, Mitchell's new - found Pitching strength, foiled the bid after Mohawks had the tying run on second base. .Gatenby, who returned from Kitchener last week to bolster the :Legionaires' fast - depleting mound staff, proved himself an able workhorse by going the route in the third gamb he ap- peared in during a single week: Although he started only Friday's contest, he.•pitohed ,most of Mon- -Please turn to Page 4 Legion Corner —Continued from Page 2. .

There are young players like the two Russells, Wells, Sillery, Hunt- er and many more that are al- ready good players and will take the place of imports. Another man in this town who is doing a fine job do baseball IS Alvin Willert. Not Many people know he has been handling the Bantams and he has done very well ,because he has come up with a winning team. * * 4 * Well, Saturday night is the first dance of the season.

Russell and Cy Blommaert hit two each. Tops for West Lorne was Bill Johnston with three. Simon Nagel, Blommaert and Sillery singled in the first inning to give Exeter a short 1-0 lead.
