The Towne Hallers had a hard time untracking themselves for two and a half periods, and when they started the glide, it was too late. The Balwins who startled the 800-odd fans in the Seaforth Arena with their savage offensive power, went on to .smash Wingham 12 to 4 in the first game of the semi-final set. There isn’t much to say on the inept Wing­ ham display, except that they were thoroughly beaten by a better club on the night's play. Even the Wingham fans will grudgingly admire the awe­ some power of “Farmer" McFadden’s crew, who obviously were looking right past this group, and watching .™—■—— —----— the Waterloo Siskins. That is not to; say that the Baldwins will have easy sailing for the remainder of this series. We mentioned last week that It will go beyond the four straight, and we still think so. The Towne Hallers put on a weak display of­ fensively except for the last few minutes, and the defense left quite a bit to be desired. One bright spot in the rearguard set-up was the check­ ing work of Kevin Bell, the little dark-haired, boy from Kincardine who was hitting and sweeping all night. The Towne Hallers can do much better, and will have to do much better to stay with the Bald­ wins, who are not to be denied. Hitting and hustling can still turn this into a close series. The Towne Hallers looked a little puck-shy, and were content to let the Seaforth ju; gernaut roll on . . . grab the and drive in on Lessor, who have wished he was back Barrie. _ Ito" puck, must with 0-0-0 BELL was 'the week-end “pepper guy” for Wingham, but his protesta­ tions on roughing penalties to NASH and STOREY got hint' a ten-minute misconduct for his effort . . , Some of the Wingham fans who attended Saturday’s game in Seaforth were heard to remark that Wingham might do better without the BARRIE FLYERS affiliation. That is hardly logical, but they were looking on the dim side of things possibly thinking what BOB McNEIL WILSON could have mind the connection EMMS has been more tory, and the future will bear me out.

The Baldwins the first game, second, and got third before the rolling and scored their four goals to­ wards the end of the session. Kevin Bell drew a 10-minute misconduct in the third frame after protesting a minor penalty handed to Nash and Storey. There were ten other penal­ ties handed1 out during the period. Scoring for Wingham were Lott and Nash, who got two goals and two as­ sists each. Top scorers for Seaforth were J. Muir, Chouinard, Jesson and Stenlund.

It was the first shut-out of the season for the Wingham sextet. Although the Chatham team wasn’t able to click around the nets, there were, nevertheless, plenty of thrills and spills throughout the session. The Admirals brought with them a full complement of fifteen men, several of whom seemed to be new around these parts, in a last ditch effort to keep their place • in the playoffs. While Wednesday’s game meant nothing to the Towne Hallers, win or lose, the defeat meant the elimination of the Admirals from the playoffs. The London Lou Balls will now play off against the Sarnia Junior Sailors in the first round of the seyies, while the Towne Hallers will tangle with Seaforth Baldwins. Star of the Wednesday game was Nipper Nash, with four counts to his credit of the six goals scored. Morris Stainton and Neil Stainton got one apiece. Referees Ted English and Johnny Brent meted out nineteen penalties during the melee, including 2 majors, 3 misconducts and 1 match miscon­ duct, the latter to John Emery, who was put out of the game for arguing, after receiving a minor for Gross checking and a misconduct.
