Zurich Wins Four Games

• Travel ond adventure
• A healthy activ* oufdoer life with eporte
• Good opportunitiee for advancement.
FRANK DALTON, the young Grand Bend puck
star who has been sought by five National hockey
League clubs over the past few months, has finally
made his decision as to which team to join. After a lot
of serious thinking Frank and his dad, the reeve Qf
Grand Bend, decided wisely that he should go to bt.
Michael’s College in Toronto as it seemingly provides1
the best place with the most future.
Thus ends the grind of Montreal, Chicago, Boston,
Detroit and Toronto trying to sign the 5’ 11 centre
to a playing certificate,
Frank, who will turn 15 in September, received
his junior “B” contract from St. Mike’s on June 21.
He seemed very happy about receiving the form when
he told yours truly in an interview about it on- the
same day.
‘ At St. Michael’s, Dalton will be at a boarding
School and under good supervision. He will receive
proper training and will .have to stick to the rules.
These rules include keeping your school marks up to
standard or your hockey playing is over.
The rules may seOrn a little tough at first but if
Frank really wants a good education'and to someday
score with the hockey greats, his dream should come
true in Toronto.
He will receive the proper rest he needs which
will be a great asset to him in his professiortal future.
"When yours truly was playing junior hockey for
Kitchener, there were far too many parties that oc
cupied a lot Of the players’ time which Ifed to stiff
fines by the team coach for not being able to live up,
to playing standards.
This is one of the advantages I’m sure Mr. Dalton,
senior was thinking about whfen he agreed to let his
ion go to St. Mikes under Father Flannigan’s super
vision.
FATHER FLANNIGAN, BOB DAVIDSON,
“KING” CLANCY and HOWIE MEEKER were all over
to Grand Bend to tell the youngster- what libs in the
future if he were to decide to go to Toronto.
• It looks as though the Leaf scouts have won out
not just because they offered the star a lot of pioney
but because they had the best all-round offer.
Under JOE PRIME AU, the new coach of the col
lege majors, Frank shbuld learn a lot that hb was un
able to pick up at Forest where he played his minor
hockey last season.
The Daltons seriously thought about sending their
boy to St. Catharines under the direction .of smart
coach RUDY PILOUS. .The only draw back was a 12-
mile hike to school each day and ail open boarding
house. This left CHICAGO BLACK HAWKS Out in thO
cold as far signing him. is concerned.
MONTREAL CANADIENS were definitely out be
cause of the 43 team farm system they have. Frank
would have little chance, of hitting the big time in
MONTREAL as quickly is-, he may with some other
- Club. - A!,/ , I : - r . ,L ,DETROIT RED WINGS wh thh ' team the'^buhg •
sharp shooter had admired. This, was mainly because
the Wings were in Forest showing the younger teams
some of the tricks of the trade. One of the prominent
players doing this was Frank’s hockey idol, GORDIE
HOWE.
JACK ADAMS had an invitation for him’to go
to the HAMILTON' CUBS, a Junior "A” team to get
experience. But the big city and not-to secure condi
tions left any signing offer at a standstill.
' The‘play-making centre is a very wise, lad as he
wants to make sure of a good education for the future
and get as much hockey playing in as possible/
So to the good-looking and promising hockey .star/
of the future we want to wish him the. best of luck
In whatever sports field he may participate at St
Mikes and in his-professional hockey career.

. last ihning.
Oddly enough, Mitchell Legion
aires had the only extra base
hits of the game.
M&lcho tried to help his own
pitching efforts at the plate by
smashing out a triple but as "far
as the R.B.I. column was con
cerned his line drive was a
wasted effort.
Murray Colquhoun of Mitchell
was thfe Only other player t to
gain an extra blow as he doubled
in the sixth which brought in the
first of four Legion runs.
A total of eight errors were
made in the game by the two
teams. Mitchell was guilty of the
majority of errors as they com
mitted five miscues, • which led
to thejr downfall, while Zurich
had three errors,
Don O’Brien, who plays first
base when Kovacic is pitching,
proved- to be the power qt thfe
plate once again. Don batted a
.750 percentage ih the game as
he collected three singles in four
trips to the plate.
»Benpy Gigaac was the only
other player in the Flyer aggre
gation to get more than one hit.
A two-for-three performance was
turned in by Gignac.
Coveney led the hitting, attach
for Mitchell with a respectable
two-for-four. Two • RBI’s were
credited to him as the tfesult of
his safeties’. - ’ ' ' -

Zurich Flyers of the Huron-
Perth intermediate baseball
league registered their second
consecutive victory over Mitchell
Legionaires on June 21 with a
6-4 victory.
It marked the Flyers’ third
winning effort in A row.
Zurich trailed all the way in
the ball game Until the top half
of the eighth1 and final inning
when they exploded for three
big runs to pull out a nip-and-
tuck decision over the highly-
rated Legionaires.
The first two games the Zurich
nine played were recorded in the
loss column but since the 24-
year-old import, Bob Kovacic,
arrived from the States, things
have been getting a lot brighter.
-Kovacic chalked up victory
No. 2 as against no‘defeats last

contest Tuesday night.
It marked the second loss in a
row for Mitchell kt home and

Timers rallied for four tuns in
the. final frame to cop a victory
over the hard-luck Legion club.
It was a ‘dramatic fifth inning
Wheifclfeft fielder Doug Aitchison
stole home to give his team the
lead ’and whkt looked to be at
thfe time the winning run of the
ballgame.
But two frames/ later Dash
wood put on a determined streteli
drive to score four big runs
and walk away With the laurels.
Raymie Wein pitched the full
seven innings for DashwOod and
allbwed only five hits.
Big Doug Aitchison. claimed
thrfee of the five singles give4’
up by. Wem. Murray. Colqulwv
and, catcher ,George : Covdn- '

26-year-oId ! Bill ' Gatenby' who
pitched steady ball until the
seventh. Jack Gaiser and Jini-

the1 plate with hitting two for

It was the top of the seventh
