Yes, the famous. tulle and white have brought another pennant to, the Queen City and no sooner was the teat acorn- pushed than owner, JACK, COOKE proposed an offer again to the NATIONAL BASEBALL LEAGUE Io ]move a major league franchise into that city. majorleague club may do wonders on this � d+ of the border but it causes us to wonder if they ° get It hew long could they make it stay. We saw tl1dlel t le�. 'one of the tww•c games in the ertrcial ROCHESTER - :TORONTO series over the weekemi and just over 5,000 fans were on hand to see the game. With a pennant at stake, you would think the place would be packed. If the Queen City can only draw a meagre crowd of this sort from the big metropolis and surrounding a countryside fora vital pennant drive, one can't help but • wonder what would happen if a major league club moved in and wasn't a winning one! * * * * * HURON -PERTH TITLE TO WHOM? •--- As the middle of September is right around the corner, H•P baseball teams have moved into their respective ranks in the OBA playdowns, This sounds fine to the towns that have teams venturing out for an Ontario title but what about the fans who supported the regular league over the full season? To date, the H -P champions haven't been de- clared. By rights, the fans should be treated to a H -P champion before any team leaves the league for other playoffs. In other words, look after your own league first and keep it strong! Possibly a shorter schedule with once or twice around the horn and a six -team playoff early in August would solve the problem. As it is now, DASH- WOOD TIGERS find themselves unable to play main- ly due to the lateness of the season while the ZURICH LUMBER KINGS are in the same boat with players going back to school. MITCHELL, who are still wait- ing for a winner between DASHWOOD and ZURICH, don't actually know where they stand. * * * * * * DUFFERS' DIVOTS WITH HOOKS & SLICES— GERRY KESSELRING, Ontario's top amateur before he hit the pro circuit, is now busy painting lamp posts for the P.U.C. in KITCHENER, The -mild- mannered slender pro is' off the circuit until after Christmas and will remain working in his home- city for a while. He possibly figures that the layoff will do him some good, but LLOYD TUCKER, the best teaching pro in the business, doesn't agree. Tucker says that Kessy is making the game a lot harder than it actually is. "He's trying a lot of fancy trick shots when they're not needed and con• sequently keeps getting into hot water on the fair- ways. He certainly ISN'T .playing the golf he did when he left amateur ranks," murmured the solemn - faced pro while adjusting . some club covers in his pro shop. - Tb us, you couldn't meet a nicer guy than Kessy and it would do us good to see the young elan solve his problems on the -greens and start back at his normal game because we feel that he should rank with the best Li the money game . . Don't forget your clubs for the big tournament this ,weekend 'at Grand Bend. Only the windup tourney will be held after this one so come on out and take advantage of it.- . • • * * * * * * HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL Coach GLEN • MICKLE of the South Huron District High School had quite a Grew out to -practise last week when we dropped in. There were so many on the field at first it looked like a school` track meet: SOUTH HURON will be defending the Perthex title ft won last year. St. Marys will provide the opposition in the first game on the local gridiron October 2. What are our chances? Sante story as last year from the professor! "Not a chance in the world of getting out of our own league." Seems to me I recall watching the final. game of the year in London. The rest of the teams couldn't have played dead all season. Anyway, good luck for .the forthcoming season, Panthers. * * • �c * PREDICTIONS FOR THE WEEK—After wiping the sweat from, our brow, we find that five of the six predictions made last week calve true with one gains to be played on Wednesday. This hikes our score up to seven right and two wrong. We muffed the 'ARGO-TI-CAT - game last week. For the neXt seven-day stretch in the Big Four we'll go: along with Montreal over Toronto and Hamil- tale over Ottawa on the 14th.

Sparked by Bill Gatenby's run blast over the left field fence in the seventh inning, Mitchell . Legionnaires finally disposed of the. pesky Dashwood Tigers in a specially ordered "sudden -death playoff game in Mitchell Friday night, by a 4.1 count. The victory gives Mitchell the right to represetot the Huron - Perth League in the OBA "C" playoffs. Playing -coach Doug Aitchison went the route for the •Legion- naires, and fired a neat four - hitter, while reeking up eight strikeouts, Dashwood's iron elan, . Steve Maw, who hurled all six playoff games between the two clubs, absorbed the loss. The fast righthander fanned five and issued only three walks, but poor fielding support by his team- mates marred his effectiveness. The Tigers carne up with five glaring errors. • Bill Gatenby came in to pinch- hit for Allan Clemo in the fifth two- and went down swinging on an outside drop, but .wasn't fooled in the seventh when he hoisted a long poke well over the fence with •Torn Sawyer, who had led off the inning with a single, on first. The gaine bad been in a 1.1 deadlock until this point. As in other games, Mitchell scored first, and then Dashwood came back to tie it up. The first run came in the fourth when • "Link" Rohfritsch lined out one of his two singles in the game. Doug Aitchison fol- lowed with a grounder to short- stop Don Guenther, who booted the play to put two on with none out. Bob Frier took four balls from llfitro to load the bases, and Kenny Saxton's clutch single to left centre scored Rohfritsch. a The Tigers tied the score in the top of the fifth.

"The color and glamor of foot- ball is -just beginning to grow; your grandchildren will think of it as the national game of Can- ada," Ralph Duffus, president of the two-year-old London Lords, told Exeter Kinsmen Thursday night, Duffus thinks that some day Toronto and Montreal clubs will join the National Football League, top pro loop in the U.S,, and that London and Kitchener will take their places in the Big Four loop with Ottawa and Ham- ilton. He envisions the day when Canadian teams will no longer import players from U.S. but draw from Canadian high school and university ,teams. "'High school coaches in Canado have been playing the game only a few ,years." Canadian boys are making good football players, he said, because they,'re big, strong and have the brains to play the game well. The only reason professional teams need U.S. imports now is because Americans have had much more eafperience and train- ing than Canadians. "In the U.S." lie said, "high school coaches are paid $6,000 a year and the only thing they have to do is teach football." London Lords are trying to prove that big time sports can be operated successfully in the forest city. In recent years, the city has not been able to sup- port senior calibre hockey or baseball but the Lords are having encouraging success with foot- ball, Last year, Lords lost $18.000 on a $100,000 operation but. Duf- fus said this resulted from the mistakes of .inexperience during the club's first •year. Officials hope tq pay off part of this defi- cit from the profits of this year's operation, .Duffus says the Lords' biggest asset is Coach Indian Jack ,la., cobs, one of the best football player's in Canada, who's making a 'determined effort to give Lon- . don a,winning football club. He did wonderswith a mediocre club last year, extending ICitche- ner in the finals, and should do much better this year because he's had a chance to reorganize the club from the ground up. Duffus said that exhibition games played this fall show that O.R.F.U. teams aren't too infe- rior to Big Four teams., London almost upset the Argonauts and Kitchener tied the Montreal Alouettes, favorites to win the eastern ,crown. Budgets of the Big Four Clubs range from $350,000 up — about five times that of O.R.F.U. teams - but' there isn't that much difference in their'prowess of the field, the London presi- dent said. Although he was much better at hockey in his youth, Duffus says he prefers football now be- cause it's truly a, team game. "Each of the 12 men on a ball club have to do their job or the play fails," he said. Duffus, who's refereed high school,'intercollegiate and 0.13..- F.U. games in Western Ontario for 12 years, says Canadian rules provide a better game for the spectator than do U.S. regula- tions. He and Indian Jack Jacobs do favor, however, the intro- duction of downfield blocking to the Canadians gains. The Lords' official showed films of the team's first games t hi s season against Balmy Beach. They were shown through a training projector, which can be run in reverse or in slow motion so -the coach can pick Out weak spots in his team's play.
