The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1956-08-16, Page 4The Time».Adveeit«/ Augutt U, SPORTS By Don* "Boom Boom" Gravett Hi Apparently Sports Editor JACK PARKS of the London Free Press has forgotten who the WOAA INTERMEDIATE “A” CHAMPIONS and SEMI-FINAL* ISTS for Ontario w'ere for the 1955-56 hockey season. In his column of August 14, the sports writer gives all the credit to the 1957 Intermediate league jumpers, STRATHROY ROCKETS. DICK PINCOMBE, business manager of the Rockets, sent in a message to Monsieur PARKS tell­ ing him about the hockey outlook in the town o£ a STRATHROY, k We all hope that MR. PINCOMBE has come out of the daze after being rowed out of competition by the oarsmen who go under the name of the GODE­ RICH SAILORS. We hate to see such a horrible mistake made, MR. PARKS, after us drifting through all that protest trouble to the Ontario finals. Strathroy, who you claim were champs, didn’t even make the finals in their own grouping of a five- team league which had Forest, Goderich, 'Exeter and Milverton in it. MOHAWK NOTE—It is hoped thM, most or all of the same executive members that were with the Mohawks Hockey Club last year will stay at least another year. The experience that has been "picked up by the group will be of that much more advantage for the club and executive to operate in the coming season. * MATCH PLAY TOURNEY—For all members of the Exeter Golf Club who will be participating in the MATCH PLAY TOURNEY for the first time, it is important to note that total scores are useless. The one who captures the most holes from his opponent will advance into another round of play . . . Strokes should be given to the golfer who shoots in the 100’s. If he happens to get teamed up against a fair club swinger, the good golfer should allow him strokes on tjhe long par 5 holes or wherever he sees fit. With six of these par five, holes facing you at the BEND, the golfers will have, to use their own judgement in giving .strokes to make the play and tourney a real success . . . Time element is the ’biggest problem facing the club as six rounds must be played and if a week is allowed for'each, it will . carry on to the' ehd of September. So a couple of these matches may have to be played within a week in order to finish before the big windup tournament of the year for the EXETER GOLF CLUB. ★ ★ ★ HURON-PERTH J{OTES — ZURICH LUMBER KINGS of this red hot intermediate ROUND ROBIN SERIES between DASHWOOD, MITCHELL and ZURICH have been quoted as winning the intermed­ iate championship by ending in first place at the end of the season’s schedule . . .

The Pick Of Them 1 Gasoline REFRESHMENT BOOTH For Your Convoniinee Bonnett North Ix»t®r £ Dashwood Tigers are hitting their stride again and it may | be just at the right lime. i The Tigermen, after absorbing I a 10-1 defeat at the hands of the Zurich Lumber Kings, have clawed themselves right back in­ to contention for the group hon­ ours by trimming the Mitchell Legionaires 7-2 and 9-0 in a home and home series. ‘ r. Dashwood’s pair of Bobs, Tan­ ner and Stormes, have found their pitching range for the. Tigers again and now sit as a real threat to walk off with every­ thing. The Tiger crew jumped into first place in the round robin series by virtue of their two wins over the. past week. Zurich Lumber ’ Kings are in second place with a win and a loss while. Mitchell brings up the rear with a 1-2 record. The Mitchtll club is definitely on the robes as far as advanc­ ing into the finals with either Dashwood or Zurich is concern­ ed. The Legionaires will have to turn the tables on Zurich on August 17 if they want to con­ tinue. | August 15 will see the Lumber t Kings in Dashwood for a, filial meeting of the round robin'be­ tween the two teams. The .August 17 encounter will provide plenty of action between Zurich and Mitchell because this will be the game that will.decide who has to hang up their base­ ball gear for the season. Bob Stormbs Wins Second Behind the crafty pitching of Bob Stormes, Dashwood Tigers hung up the whitewash sign on the Mitchell Legionaires as they belted four Mitchell hurlers -for a 9-0 victory right in Mitchell on August 13. It marked the four days that club has turned the highly-rated Mitchell crew. The Tigers, .who ended in third place at the end of regular sea­ son activity, took a three-run lead in the first inning and ad­ ded three more in the fourth; one in the fifth and two in the sixth and final frame to com­ plete their nine run outburst. • Bob Stormes was the master all the way as the chunky left­ hander threw a three-hitter at the Legionaires. Although Stormes only recorded a single strike­ out, he was seldom in trouble as his team mates played near perfect ball for him. • The only three Mitchell play­ ers to get-to Stormes’ offerings were Tom Sawyer, George Cov- eney and Art Sadler. All their hits were of the single variety. The Dashwood nine were spark­ ed by .Bob ;H,ayter and hurler StormeS in the hitting category’ as each poked out a pair. Jim Hayter and Raymie Wein each cracked out a double. The victory boosted the Tigers to a 2-1 win-loss record while Mitchell now finds themselves behind the eight-ball with a X-2 count. Zurich Lumber Kings will be the opposition for the Tigers on Wednesday. August 15, in Dash­ wood as the round robin play continues.

Bob Tanner and Bob were the pace setters Dashwood victory. Tanner pitched the eight-in­ ning win by giving up five- well scattered hits,, otie of which was a home run,, and fanned nine Mitchell batsmen. ■ . . Hayter was .the power, at the plate for the Dashwood .nine as ..he lifted a pitch over, the right field fence in the‘third inning for a three-run homer.^His round tripper scored the bulk of runs in a five-inning rally which salt­ ed the game away. The Tigers didn’t score a run in’ the final five innings of play but two in the second and five th the third were all the victors needed. e Gary Hopf, Doug Aitchison and Bill Gatenby shared the pitching duties for Mitchell and with their combined efforts rang up 4 total of nine strikeouts. Although the Legion aire hurl­ ers gave up only five safeties,' their fielding support was in­ adequate as nine chances were booted behind them.
