That's. one account of the way the last sores with. Hensel' and Wyoming Bantams may be described. The Hensall 'lads, -whether sone of . the local fans knew it or not, ran Into some tottgh opposition in their C itario semi-final _mach. Teams .down in the southern counties .get 'more baseball each, year than the kids in this neck -of -the -woods, and consequently are much More polished when the chips are on the line. We're not making any excuses for the local nine who were swamped from the word go •in the second game particularly, but as we followed the club closely throughout the playoff wars, we found that although they had plenty of get-up-and-go, they leaked depth in one very important department — pitching, To us, it was only a matter of time before the strong right arm of Steve Kyle would fold, it was too bad it had to happen in the Ontario semi-finals, but things such as this can't be helped when your pitching staff is limited. Manager Ernie Chipchase and Coach Ed Corbett battled this problem from the time they entered the playoff trail and to us it was remarkable the way the kids managed to stay in high gear for so long, Determination had a lot to do with it right front the managerial end of it to the boys who did the work, We sincerely think that the people of Hensall and • district should be proud of this club even though they didn't win an Ontario title. They .at least romped past Atwood and Mildmay in their Western Ontario title march, and upset Allenford- in the first OBA round, not to mention the -teams they played in their own grouping to advance on into the playoffs. We would like to pass a word of praise along to every 'member of the Hensall club and their manage- ment for giving such a good fling at the Ontario title. TRAP SHOOTING GAINING MOMENTUM! Thanks to Bill McLean, it looks as though a new trap shooting club for Exeter is a sure bet. Bill has been working overtime on the formation of a new club; and it appears to be right around the corner. Last Wednesday night more than 20 enthusiasts were out- at Fink's farm trying to break the targets. This shoot was more or less a warmup for a corning event on September 10, in which Ross Tuckey, of Tuckey Beverages, is donating a picnic cooler to the top gunman in a small tournament for local shooters only. Apparently there isn't any entry fee and a handicap system will be used to keep guys like (they'll shoot us for this) Frank "Dead -Eye" Mathers and Bill "Paint -Brush." McLean from winning. We've always wondered how Bill hits those targets with a paint brush! Seriously, Bill has been very pleased with the shoot turnouts this year and he hopes to have an executive formed to set up regular shoots for the corning year% We understand the last active gun club in town was in operation before the war. So, if you're not doing anything next Wednesday, drop down to see if you can Pick off a few clay pigeons. HERE ARE THE WINNERS! (WE HOPE) We're really living after last week's prediction list was run off. Out of the seven tries at picking the winners, we dubbed a single boot, when we had the. Roughriders of the Big Four upsetting the Ti -Cats. The Big Four has been giving us some trouble of late so we'll peer a little deeper into that crystal hall of ours. With the six correct scores added to last week's we find ourselves with a 9:3 'right-wroncrecord for a .750 percentage. We're throwing it all on the line again this week, so .here's hoping we at least chalk up a few more correct winners. Three games in Western Canada this week.

Wyoming will now meet Fen- wick for the Ontario Bantam "D" baseball title. It was just one of those games for the Hensall club; in which they just couldn't seem to get themselves untracked to do any- thing right. Wyoming took particular ad- vantage of Hensall's flounderings in the fourth inning when •they sent 23 batters to the plate before three outs could be made to re- tire the side, In the drastic fourth, that actually wrapped up the hall game in short order, the visitors were issued a total of 15 -walks, had a hit batsmen and slapped out a mere two singles against three Henson moundsmen to pro- duce a 17 -run landslide.
