Kin squad's comedy helps vets tie series By BOB $cHIRQ.BPPR Exeter Mohawks capped a determined come- back bid this. year with a well-earned decision ov er Listowel Legionnaires last xveek. The local squad rallied in the last inning to eliminate the powerful northern team from fur- ther Huron-Perth playdowns. The come-from-behind victory for the tribe typified their play throughout the season as they have come up with numerous late-inning stands to finish on the long end of the score. The Mohawk victory advanced them to a position that has eluded Exeter teams for the past few years, the league championship finals. We mentioned earlier this summer that Exeter man- ager Derry Boyle had come up with one of his strongest teams in a goodly number of years and the play of this year's club hes certainly borne out this statement. This year's squad is a far cry trom the Ex- eter teams of a few years ago that had a hard time finishing out the season. The tribe certainly deserves the praise and congratulations extended them. The locals will tackle the strong Lumber Kings of Zurich in the Huron-Perth finals for the London Fress Press Trophy in what should be a hotly-contested round. Of the four times they have • this season, Exeter has won two, tied one, and lost the other. Add to this the intense rivalry between the two area clubs and you come up with an in- teresting battle, Although it will not be the first time these -two clubs have collided in a championship round, it will bring together two teams with substantially different playing personnel than former years and the final round should provide the spectators in the area with a very exciting and stimulating brand of baseball. Zurich surprised a number of observers last week when they came up with three victories in the round-robin to oust the highly-touted Staffa. -Merchants as well as Hensel'. Playing heads-up !ee baseball all the way, Zurich manager Don O'Brien had his charges working to perfection and they only dropped one game in the semi-final set. Staffa was a disappointing second-place fin- isher in the final results although they had a poor year this season. Despite their showing throughout the schedule, the Merchants can usually he counted on to come up with a top performance in the play- offs but they were found to be lacking in this year's playdowns. Although they finished dead-last in the round-robin, Hensall still was not as bad as the standings indicate. Their sole victory was over Staffa in the last game of the round that eliminated the Merchants from the playoff picture. Two of their three losses were by a single run and so the Hensall nine still played some exciting ball in . their fading moments. se'r Zurich and Hensall are currently engaged in an interesting series to determine which team will represent the Huron-Perth in OBA "D" class- ification playdowns. Zurich edged the Hensall nine 7.6 in Zurich Friday evening to tie up their playdown set at one game apiece. The two clubs have a large fol- lowing in the two communities and both games have been well, attended by spectators who have witnessed some very fine baseball. ° The best-of-five series could go the limit as the two teams are very evenly matched and both games have come out with one-run victors. If the set should go the full five games the Hensall squad would have the advantage since they get the final contest due to their better record in league play. Exeter Greys. the only other Exeter team still competing in area playoffs, =wed a step . closer to their league championship with a close 8.7 victory over Brucefield last week, , The win was the third in a row for . the local ladies and they now lead the final set three games to none. Although they have had a couple of dose games. the Exeter squad has always been , equal to the occasion and has come up with a pair _ of nip-and-tuck decisions. The Greys will have a real test on their hands if they get by Brucolield in their division playdowns since they have to take on a team from the north iii the league finals. After having a com- paratively easy time of it in their schedule this summer, Exeter will have to go all out against the • northern winner to prove their true ability, al- though, with their hitting, fielding and heady base- running we have no doubts but what the Exeter ladies are capable of going all the way. The two semi-final series in the local recrea- tion softball league are shaping up as a couple of hard-fought affairs. Last week Crednon notched a pair of vic- tories to take a 2-1 lead over Lanes in their best- or-five affair. The two teams that are generally .conceded to be the class of the league are waging a fierce battle for the right, to enter the :printed lOop In the other series, Kinsmen have taken over the lead in their set-to wtih Legion and now are ahead two games to one. Although they finished dead-last in league action, Legion certainly isn't going to roll over and play dead and they extend- ed Kinsmen to the limit last Wednesday. The four teams in the popular grouping are getting a great deal of enjoyment out of their games and the fans that turn out to watch them 'in action are being well rewarded While we're on the subject, we should men- tion in passing that, the number of spectators that are beginning to turn out for the playoff games is a, pleasant surprise to the men who have worked bard and long to build up their respective teams. The crowd at the final Mohawk gamey here was the largest that we have •seen at the local diamend in a long time and the situation is pre- 'valent thrOughout the area. We heartily endorse the idea: of going out to the ball park to take in —Please torn to page 7 A comedy of errors spelled defeat. for Kinsmen Monday night as Legion romped to a 12-4 win in the fourth game of their ;Kee Softball playdowns. The Legion victory meant that a fifth and deciding game will be necessary to determine a. winner in the send-final round, The two teams picked up a pair Of ‘Ictories each, in the four games thus far. Legion only managed six hits during the game but some shoddy fielding and pitching by the Kinsmen crew helped them to the victory, Starter Don "Binger" Bell allowed six walks and his mates committed seven errors during the seven-inning contest, Chub Edwards of the Legion led both teams with a pair of singles and he also reached base three other times on a walk and two errors. liar Holteman's three - run triple was the big blow in a four-run second inning for the Legion. Single base hits went to Harry Mettles, Jim Pincher and Al Wiper, Jim Carey and Joe Goon paced the Kinsmen's five-hit attack with a triple each. Doug Sillery, Cy Blommaert and. Lloyd Moore banged out singles for the losing Kin nine. Legion sent a total of 39 bat- ters to the plate in the six. times they were at bat and most of them were either walk- ed down to first or were safe on errors. Only four Legion runs were earned. Legion didn't count any runs in only two innings and they came up with two four - run frames and one three-run in- ning. Winning pitcher Al Wiper kept the Kin hitters off balance most of the game and he never raninto any serious trouble. Sillery wins it Doug Sillery smashed a two- run homer in the bottom of the seventh inning to give Kins- men a 4.3 win over Legion in the third game of their playoff set Wednesday, August 15 Sillery's blast came after Le- gion had carved a one-run lead in the top of the seventh frame on a solo clout by Harry Met- tles, Legion missed a golden oppor- tunity in the top of the final frame when they loaded the bags with none out and then left three runners stranded when Kin hurler Don "Dinger" Bell retired the next. three men in order without giving up a single run. Belt led off the Kinsmen hall of the inning with a double and then Sillery poled a long cir- cult clout that iced the game in favor of the Kinsmen,. Bell allowed only four hits In the Legion but he was wild throughout the genie and is. sued nine free passes.

Singles were recorded by Joe Gunn., Lloyd .Moore, Cy Blom- miter!, and Harry Klesivetter. liar Holtzman had a pair of singles for Legion and ,Chub Edwards' double and Mettles' home run rounded out their hit- ting. Kinsmen scored single runs in the first and third innings and Legion counted lone runs in the second and fourth to leave the game Lied until the seventh inning when both teams broke loose, The Kinsmen victory was their second of the series while Le- gion have copped One game. Hensall's three minor teams all started their OBA playoffs this week in hopes of bringing home at least one and maybe more Ontario championships. The local juveniles, last year's "D" champions, began defence of their crown Wednes- day when they opened up a five-game set with Allenford in semi-final action.

Chief stumbling block for the Bensall nine during the game. which was played in Hensall Saturday afternoon, was Eden Mills pitcher Don Heffernan. The young right-hander was a one-man show for the visitors ae he handcuffed Hensel' on three hits in 11 innings as well as striking out 24 Hensel] bat- ters, Eden Mills tied up the game at 6-6 in their last time at bat when they came up with a pair of runs on two singles and an error that sent the game into extra innings, Heffernan was unbeatable in overtime, strik- ing out five of the six men he faced, while the visiting Eden Mills squad finally got to Han- sen hurler Ken Seale for a single run in the eleventh frame, Smile also turned in a com- mendable performance for his. club as he gave up only seven hits during. the entire contest, lie fanned six batters and walked only one. Bill Chipehase was the first Hensel' hitter to touch the Eden Mills' fireballer with a double in the second inning. However, he was left stranded and the visitors' single-run lead from first frame remained intact, Eden Mills picked up another run in the fourth inning but Hensall managed to tie the score in their half of the inning, with a Pair of runs. Two straight infield errors and a single by Jim MacDonald gave Hensell their two tallies. Eden Mills barged into a 4.2 lead in the next inning on a pair of Unearned runs but the Hensel', lads were not to he out-done and they replied with four runs in the bottom of the seventh. A single by Ted Mock and four straight walks provided the home team with four runs The opener of the semi-final round is slated for the Exeter diamond this Saturdes with game time at 3:00 o'clock.

However, this was all the :scoring the locals did as Eden Mills came on with a pair of runs in the ninth and then took the contest with a final run in the eleventh. Hensall coaches Peter Mc. Naughton and Ed Corbett wet-c very impressed with the urn- piring of Leo Burns and Ross Haugh, The two reported that it was "the best-umpired game I've seen". The second game of the series is slated for Eden .M.ills tonight (Thursday) and if the Hensall squad can pull it out of the fire a third and deciding game will be played, probably in New Hamburg al the end of this week.
