HURON -PERTH 15 ROLLING ALONG
• Action in the Huron -Perth Intermediate Base-
ball League is moving right .along, We haven't men -
toned too much about this league in the past, so now
we'd like to try and bring you up to .date on what
bas been going on. The league is over half way
through its schedule, In fact, on the regular listings,
there are only nine
games left to be played.
Of course there has
been postponements
along the way and, they
will have to be worked
in, but on the whole,
scheduled dates have
been mopped up quite
regularly. Only Zurich
seems to be a little be-
hind the eight -ball. They
have only played six
games while some have
played eleven. However,
they seem to have suf-
ficient time to make up
the lost ground so the
loop isn't in any great
turmoil.
We took in the Dash-
wood -Mitchell game in.
Dashwood Monday night
and are pleased to say
that it was a pretty fair ,game. It's too bad that more
fans don't come out for the regular scheduled en-'
counters but as a rule things seem to follow the
general trend in the public way of thinking. Wait
until the playoffs start. Then you'll see the real
action. The game in Tigerland on Monday wound up
4.3. in favour of Dashwood but it might have gone
either way in an inning or two. For a time it looked
as though Mitchell might pull it out of the fire as
Dashwood suffered a few lapses on the base paths
with runners in scoring position. At one time, the
Bengals had runners on second and third. with no-
body nut and didn't score a run. But that's baseball.
A mighty important factor overlooked with Tiger
runners in scoring position was one of baseball's
favourite plays -the bunt. Come to think of it, I
believele1e 1t was only offtwice, both timeses by
Mitchell. However, it was a sound game and .we're
sure the fans on hand enjoyed. it.
It was good to see what one .might call. the
veterans of the Huron -Perth still in action. From
Mitchell "Link" Rohfritsch, Murray Colquhoun,
George Coveney, Bob Sadler and a couple of others
were still in there as strong as ever. We did miss
the strong right arm of Ken Saxton from. behind the
plate though.
On the Dashwood side of the fence, it was
good to see Jimmy Hayter. inaction. Jim has been
around for some time and. from the way he's hitting
tl:e ball it looks as though he can still teach the
young fry a few lessons at the plate yet. Jack Gaiser
is another member of the old Tiger lair we like to
watch. Although not noted as a power hitter, Jack
is a fine defensive player that any club in the league
would like to have. By the way, we want to wish
Jack the best of luck after getting hit with a throw
from short on Monday. We sincerely hope nothing
serious will develop from the incident as Jack lost
the peg in the sun at the last minute and got hit
square in the eye. Steve Mitro, who threw a four -
hitter at Mitchell, doesn't seem to have lost much of
his stuff from the mound.
Zurich Lumber Kings look to have the power
to rule the league. At least, at this stage of the game
they have. Boasting four wins, one loss and a tie in
six games, the Lumber Kings seem to Have that
needed punch in chasing after another. Ontario title:
The big three -Gerald Bell, Don. O'Brien and Arnie
,Meyers -fore a very comfortable pitching staff for
the defending Ontario title holders. With a few r e-
cruits in from Hensall and up Clinton way, they'll be
tough!
JIMMY HAYTER
MATCH PLAY TOURNAMENT UNDER •WAY
Exeter Golf Club president Lorne "W" Klein -
liver (the "W" is for Pee Wee) tells us that every-
thing is raring to go in the match play rounds. All
the boys have to do now is eliminate each other
from competition. Lorne, who has taken up the
game of golf quite seriously along with Bobby Hayter
of Dashwood, was reminiscing some plays over the
Bend's 18 -hole layout and came up with one that
really shook some 15 golfers waiting to tee off on
the mostly disastrous 16th hole. It happened some
weeks ago. A chap by the name of Stan Frayne was
using his favourite club (a three iron, Stan?). When
he went to h.it the ball the club slipped out of his
hands and landed onone of the top limbs of a tree
overhanging the 16th creek. It stayed there for a
few minutes and while Stan was trying to think of
a way to get; it down, the club finally slipped through
the branches and dropped right into the middle of
the creek. It was great entertainment for the 15 or
so waiting to tee off, but for poor Stan, it was
inttrde.r!
While on the subject of golf, local enthusiasts
can sharpen up their game right in town new that
Lloyd Cushman has opened a driving range at the
south end of Exeter. You can hit everything from
the driver to hong down there if you like. Under
the lights or under the sun, Lloyd will be pleased to
see you.

Ford worked Wallace for a walk

Hayter, who has been hitting the
ball with plenty of authority this
season, unloaded a booming two -
run triple to give. the Bengals a

the plate in the half inning,
walked. Then Wally Doucette
came through with his first of
two hits to score Hayter with the
third run of the inning. Mitro

Mitchell bounced back with a
pair of runs in the fifth and a
single in the sixth to tie up the

In the fifth, Wayne Pauli and
"Buster" 'Brown touched Mitro
for lead-off back-to-back singles.
They eventually scored on in-
field plays and a Tiger error.
Wallace, leading off the sixth
for Mitchell, gained lire on the
bases when first baseman Jack
Gaiser lost a peg from short in
the sun. The ball hit the Tiger
first baseman in the eye, and
he was forced to retire. Larry
Lightfoot moved in from right
field to take over the initial sack
duties, and David Ratz went to
