The article is written by Paul Patton, .who is covering the sports beat up that way for the Star. "Apparently there was nothing wrong with the pitching in the Nickel Belt league that a little warm weather couldn't cure. The hurlers for the most part have been absorbing their lumps with the cold weather cutting down their effectiveness. But last night it was really fine baseball weather and some of the moundsmen began strutting their stuff. "Perhaps the most spectacular showing was turned in by Bob Wein, a lanky righthander who has seen only limited duty in the Nickel Belt league the past few seasons. "A year ago, Wein saw action in only three games. He relieved in the seasc.n's opener against Creighton and lost the game in extra innings. He relieved against Garson three weeks later with no decision, and against Frood Tigers three weeks after that without winning or losing. In the playoffs, he saw action mostly as an outfielder. "But last night, making his first appearance' of the year, he really had his stuff. He was throwing his fast ball past the hitters, his curve ball was break- ing across the plate, and he was consistently ahead. of the batters. So much so, in fact, that he didn't walk a nian." STRATEGY CALLED 'FOR A RITCHOUTI "For a while it looked as if he might be pitching a no-hitter. too. He held the usually hard- hitting Red Sox without a safety until two were out in the sixth. On top of that, he had a count of two strikes and no balls on Conston second baseman Billy Core. "Baseball strategy at that stage would call for a pitchout, hoping to get an over -eager batter swinging at a bad ball. Wein's third pitch wasn't in the strike zone, but Core took a liking to it, and drilled into centre for a clean hit. And that was that. The only other hits Conston got were a single by. Clarence Fox -that skipped by Mauno Taus in the .seventh, and a double that Laurie Bazinet dropped into left field in the eighth. "Only two runners reached second base all night off Wein, Ron Zanutto Peached first on an error leading off the third and was sacrificed to second; and Bazinet got there with his double. "For the most part, Wein got some slick field- ing behind hint, something which is guaranteed to help the pitching too." Incidentally, in the game the Sudbury . sports writer was commenting on, Wein pitched Copper Cliff Red Men to a 6.0 victory. Robert also helped his own cause by belting a triple in the fifth which lett to one of the six runs collected by the Red Men. The story on Bobby Wein is of in.erest to this corner 111 more ways than one. First of all, it's good to hear how some of the local products are making out on their own, and secondly, we were born in Gatchell, which is situated between Sudbury and Copper Cliff, so we know the place \veli.

From Race Exeter Pee I\'ees bowed nut of WOAA competition nn :Monday night when they lost a sudden' death four -point game in Seaforth to Mitchell. Although the locals ,lumped off to a 5.3 first inning lead, the litchell club proved to have too much finesse around the diamond as they came up with 13 more runs before the seven inning ball game was called. Eight big runs in the fourth inning for the victors really put the game on ice as they rattled. off six successive base hits, in• eluding one double, to -account for most of the runs. Diebold sparked the Mitchell hitting attack with a third inning home run and also added a single in the eight -run fourth. Osborne, who failed to finish the game as the starting pitcher, collected three singles throughout the contest. Fred Lamb paced the Exeter bastlnen with three hits in three trips to 'the plate. Other local base hitters included Toon Stires, Ricky Boyle and John Snell.

RallyLate , Sparks Win Dashwood Tigers came up \vitll two runs in the top of the ninth inning in Mitchell. on Monday to pull a nip -and -tuck 4.2 victory out of the fire in .a closely -played contest, The two runs in the top of the ninth matched a pair the Bengals scored in the fourth to chalk up the win. Steve lllitro was on the firing line all 111e way for the winners, while "Buster" Brown absorbed the loss in the Mitchell cause.. Catcher Bobby Meharg, who had been held hitless in his first three appearances at the plate, worked 'Buster” Brown for a walk to start the ninth inning, Steve Mitre promptly followed his teammate by slapping out a single to move the fast -stepping Meharg over to third. After Mitro stole second, Bob Russell ground- ed out pitcher to first to score Meharg with the first run of the half inning. With Mitro now on third, the base runner came hone on a passed ball charged to Kenny Saxton. The two -run ad- vantage was all the Tigers needed to sew up the win. illlitchell came up with single runs in the seventh -and eighth to make the game a real thriller, In the seventh, after Charlie Westman had fanned, Doug Smith teed off on one of 111itro's pitches for a triple, lie scored when Murray Noble drilled out a single for the second hit of the half inning and the first run of the hall game. The Legionnaires scored "their second and final run of the game when "Link" Rohfritseh started the eighth inning by reaching first on an error. Ken Saxton inovect the base runner into scor- ing position With a single, and Charlie Westman brought him home on a base hit to right field. Dashwood's first two runs of the ball game carate in the fourth and were sparked by doubles Hensall Bantam Club Wins Two Tight Tilts Hensall Bantams chalked up. two wins against one loss this week in the WOAA bantam base- ball league schedule. The Hensall entry, who took RCAF Clinton's place when the team folded, scored a battling 6-4 decision over Seaforth in flensall on Sat- urday, and then edged Mitchell. in another closely -fought contest, 8.7, before the home town fans in Hensall on Monday night, The only game Hensall took a setback in was a 9.3 verdict they had handed them in Clinton on Thursday night. Honsall 13 — Mitchell 7 Scoring six runs in the bottom hall of the second inning, and single markers in each of the first and sixth frames, Hensall Bantams upset the Mitchell Ban- tams 8-7 in a loosely -played con- test. Hensall, although winning the game, committed seven glaring errors but still managed to pre- game, the necessary base hits to. wrap up the game. After Mitchell had tied up the game with a single run in the top of the sixth, Hensall produced what proved to be the game - winning run in their half of the inning, Leadoff batter Larry- Jones, and Harry Moir dumped out back-to-back singles to put the Mitchell hurler, Bob Greenwood, in trouble right from the start. 'Three successive infield plays on the next tree Hensall batters, Steve Kyle, Tack Chipchase and Bruce Horton, brought the win- ning run home. in a wild second inning that saw six Hensall runs cross the plate, only two base hits were seen. They came off the bats of Chipchase and Horton. With Chip - chase hitting a double •and Hor- ton a single, the runs were mainly accumulated on walks and Mitchell errors. Harry Moir .led the 1-ieesall batters with a perfect three -for - three night. Jack Chipchase fol- lowed with a pair, while. Larry Jones and Bruce Horton picked up a single apiece.
