Legion - mires are in the midst .of a hot struggle for the "C" chain ionshi of the Huron -Perth Intermediate Base - bail .championship il League. As shown on other parts of this sports page, the Lumber Kings are presently leading the series 2-1 with one game tied. To date, the series. play has really been thrilling if you like baseball at all Since plenty of home runs, • doubles and. triples have been supplied by the two clubs. The theft of home plate by Murray Colt'lu- houn, of Mitchell, in their last outing has highlighted all the drama to the play- off spectacle so far as the run proved to be the win- ner to put Mitchell right back into the title hunt. Looking over the two clubs, the only difference we can really find is in the pitching. The club that gets the best hurling will ;take it all. To us, Zurich A has the mound strength to do this while • Mitchell's O4 pitching staff is a little on the thin side. It just seems to be a matter of how long "Buster” Brown can keep iarnie Meyers fooling the King batters with his sweeping curve balls. Backing him up is "Porky" Wallace, Malcho and Bob Sadler. In the Zur- ich camp. pitchers seem to be a dime a dozen. Tom Rawlings has a pair of gems in ;ton. Heller and relief- er Bob White. Beth throw hard and fast and as prev- ious reyious games have shown, the Legionnaires find it diffi- cult finding the range at the plate, throughout the early stages of the games particularly. To back up this pair, Don O'Brien looks right :,t• home on the mound along with another moundsman by the name of Arnie Meyers. We're only second guessing, of course, but looking over the two clubs just in the pitching de - pertinent, it looks as though Zurich should be shoo- ins. However, "Link" Rohfritsch has his club battling right down to the wire and before it's all over, the series should prove most interesting and one , well worth watching. One of the recent bright outlooks for Tom Rawlings has been,the improved play of Arnie Meyers. Meyers, who got off to one of his slowest starts since arriving in this district, has begun to find the range again both at the plate and on the mound. Arnie tagged one of the longest bails of the series in Mitch- ell on Monday night for a home run and has collected more than his share of the hits in previous games. Corning through like he is, he could be the answer to Zurich title hopes. . EXETER GOLF CLUB STARTS MATCH PLAY The Exeter Golf Club will start the first round of its match play for the Red Scott Trophy, emble- matic of the club championship, this weekend at Grand Bend. The club officials have also slated a tournament which will carry over Saturday and Sun- day of this week. The tournament draw will be mailed to the members in the same fashion as the last one. For the match play round, club members will have the opportunity of playing their first round be- tween Saturday. August 23 and Wednesday, August 27.

Foursomes will be drawn for the Coining week- end tournament so that the pair of twosomes will be playing together that will he engaged in the first rr'und of the match play. L the parties i_n.ve: ed agree, the tourtlanlent score may he used as the first round results for the match play. Hope we've covered every- thing and that you're not more mixed up than ever. If you are, wait for your in=t.ruetions through the mail and you'll be rang to go. One of the hottest rounds of the season was turned in last weekend at. the Oakwood Inn by a non- member of the Exeter dub in the person of Don Joynt. of Hensall. Don. who bas been en ardent golfer and follower of the game for many years. came in with a par -breaking 8 ever the par 71) layout. With a few breaks. the He eallite could have been even low- er. He missed a few short putts which could have hent his game into the lower 60°s. The sixteenth hole at the Bend. which usually snakes or breaks the majority of the good scores by the local shotmakers didn't bother Don in the least. To show just how cool he operated. well explain his performance on this particular par -three hole. With seven or eight golfers standing around waiting for their turn in shoot, Joynt teed his ball up aiid drilled a three iron shot right down the creek. The shot was so straight that the ball hie the flagpole and bounced back a foot or two for an easy bird. You can imagine the anxious moments he and the rest of the group had for a few seconds when they saw the ball heading straight for the cup, No matter how you look at it, the 68 will be one to be remembered and easy to understand why Don was so happy about $t. PIGSKIN SEASON IN FULL SWING Football fields across the country will really be getting their full taste of rugged play this week, With the Big Thur in full swing as of Tuesday night, the local' Senior O,R.F,U, season will open up this Saturday with the London Lords moving into the twin cities of Kitchener -Waterloo to db battle with the champs for the past three seasons, the Dutchmen. The West is already rattling off its 58 schedule to its thousands of football fans as the Ddinonton 1�ski; Mos, Calgary' Stanlpeders and Saskatchewan Rough. ricers have already achieved a victory in the Western loop. As we did last year, we think we're ready to aide the prediction trail with a number of our wild and woolly guesses. So here goes for the corning week. First of all in the Senior O.R,P.D we must stick with our old f{ite henerites to .pull the first one out of the fire before the hometown fans. In the l ig! 1?'our, on Tuesday, we're afraid the double blue from Toronto will take it on the Chin in Ottawa.
