However, we are glad to fill in to help him out, after his unfortunate accident at Mitchell Saturday night. First of all we would like to send eongratula- tions. to the Exeter Legion Bantams who have been :crowned WOAA champs. This is certainly a feather in the cap of this town, and also for the team play- ers, coaches and sponsors. Coaches "Bunny" Ford and Derry Boyle have • clone a tremendous job with this team, and deserve .a lot of credit. We know they've lost a good deal of :hair over this team, which seems to insist on coming • from behind to win in the last few minutes after -defeat appeared certain. It must have been a pleas - ire for the two men to watch the final game at Port ;Elgin, which the kids won in easy style with Freddy :Lamb scoring goals whenever he felt like it. The Legion deserves a hand for supporting :the Bantams throughout the year, and giving the kids :the opportunity to play hockey. The branch chartered 'a bus for the final in Port Elgin, and has been behind the club whole-heartedly all season. While we're on the subject of hockey, we :should mention the world amateur tournament being held in Czechoslovakia. A CBC network of radio stations will carry the final this Sunday. Canada's Saturday -night voice of hockey, Foster Hewitt, will ,be behind the microphone. The final game will team up Canada and :Czechoslovakia. In order to maintain interest through. out the entire tournament, the draw is designed to have a balanced sprinkling of tough games through the week, with the big climax conning on closing day. 'In recent years the final has featured Russia pitted .against the Canucks, but this year officials feel the :Czechs have a stronger team than the Russians. The Belleville Macs, Canada's representative, already hold a 7.2 win over the Czechs. Belleville met the Rus- -.sians Wednesday, Still on the subject of hockey, we see where -the old arch rivals of Lucan and Zurich are at. it .again. The midget teams from the two communities face each other in the OMHA semi-finals. Officials of :the two teams are haying difficulty determining ;where Zurich's home games will be played. Lucan -officials are refusing to play on what they call the "mud and water" of the Zurich arena. They are hold- ing out for Zurich to play their home games in Hensall. (Sounds familiar.) Although hockey is the main topic these days, baseball is trying to crowd in. as the major league teams open their exhibition schedules in the sunny south, The Las Vegas odds -makers are watching the teams, and making their predictions, but we .don't think it will have too much effect up this way, Most fans in these parts stick to their sentimental favor- ites, rather than how they may appear on paper, 'and we doubt if they'll change their support this Veer, We couldn't imagine the butchers next door rooting for anyone else, but those Tigers, while the barber up at the other end of the drag, will probably fall in line with the sports editor to boost those Yankees for another season, and the local pool room bwner will probably still. get his bet with the Aber- deen Angus breeder from Sarepta, that the Indians Won't take the pennant. * * * * Baseball came to the minds of many players And fans in this district recently, following the un- timely death of Raymie Wein of Dashwood. Ra.ylnie was one of the mainstays of the Tiger nine, and will )certainly be missed around the league when the cry to "play ball' is heard this season. Raymie played on several of the village's championship teams, and Was well liked by all the players in the league. Raymie Also was active on the Dashwood broontball team, And this winter was one of the organizers of the minor hockey set-up in Dashwood. Ivan Kalbfleisch, one of Zurich's • baseball benefactors, was involved in an auto accident last Saturday. We don't know how serious Ivan's injuries were, but we trust he'll have a speedy recovery. Donations for the Listowel disaster fund keep pouring in to the grief-stricken community. The National Hockey League made a very sizeable dons• Mt to the fund, while the Detroit Red Wings and the Boston Bruins raised over $300 in aid of the fund ata banquet at which the two teams were guests. The Red Wings have also "donated" their teals to the fund, and are willing to make a trip to this area to play a benefit game for the Listowel fund. Strathray Rockets, "passed the blanket" at their game last Saturday night, and realized over $300 to boost the campaign. * * * * * COTTON'S CUFF CLEANERS— We're probably the only person around here who would like to see the World Amateur Hockey. Tournament con- tinuo for a longer period, but we found a good bet, and would like' to make a "bundle" while it's avail- able, All we have to. do is listen to the scores and then wager with a friend of our how badly Canada beat her opposition. l;ie even gives a five -goal leeway, so ive don't have to be too exact, Easy liioney if you can get it.

Devilsrink Jim "Red" Loader, who used to make his home in Mitchell, still appears to feel right at hone there, as he triggered four goals to lead Mohawks to an 8-5 victory Saturday night. The victory gave the tribe a 3.0 stranglehold on the best -of seven series with the Red Devils. lelobawks, who seem to insist on letting their opposition score first, gave up a goat at 2:30 of the first period. Glenn Uniac beat Deitrich with a shot that went under Bud's glove. Larry Heideman knotted the score at the half -way mark of the period when he rifled a shot along the ice to beat Bill Mc- Naught in the Mitchell net. The score came as the Mohawks had a :man advantage with. "Fink" Weber in the penalty box. The tribe added two more before the teams left the ice, with Loader scoring 'his first, and Bob Gauthier finishing off a neat play with Jim Russell. Mitchell replaced McNaught in goal with Chessel. for the second period. Mohawks gave him a similar warm welcome as they fired home two early goals to take a commanding 5-1 lead. Jim Russell scored the first an a picture play with Gib Sabourin. Sabourin faked a shot, passed to Mussell, who deked a defender and then made no mistake as he blasted a short one into the up- per right hand corner. Oberle scored the second on a golf shot that beat Chessel all the way, Goals by Weber and Westman made the game a bit closer, but "Red" triggered his second goal of the night at 19:45 to give the Mohawks a three -goal margin at the end of the second.
