The visitors moved ahead temporarily in the top of the second with a single tally. Right fielder Al Winder, leading off singled to left, moved to third on Richard Bidner's bingle to right centre and came across unmolested on a Mohawk error. Playing manager Eric Mc- Kenzie followed with the third safety of the frame to load the bases with no one out. At this point, Steve Kyle on the Exeter mound and his infield mates tightened and retired the side without further damage. Bidner was forced at the plate on Druiett's grounder for the first out, Kyle blazed three strikes past BobBlackmore and enticed the final batter to ground into a force out at third.

Although being on the right side of the hit column, Zurich Lumber Kings were on the short end of the score in the first game of the OBA "D" finals. The Kings were edged by Walsingham Senators, title- holders :he past two years 5-4 in Sunday's opener in the south- ern town. The second game of the best- of-five series for the Ontario title will go in Zurich Saturday afternoon with the third in Wal- singham Sunday. Don O'Brien's club outhit the home team 12-5 but were un- able to cash in on their op- portunities, leaving 13 runners stranded. The teams traded a pair of runs in the first inning and battled back and forth the bal- ance of the way. The Zurich boys managed to load the sacks in the ninth but failed to plate the equalizer. Two bases on balls and sing- les from Larry Bedard, Bruce Moir and Earl Wagner were responsible for the lumber- men's runs in the opening frame. A double play ended the threat with a couple of runners SCORE DOZEN EARLY Tallying an even dozen runs in the first four innings, the Greys went on to cop the victory and the group title after being on the ropes several times during the play-offs. Helen Ebel tossed a neat five- hitter at the Brucefield girls and was backed up by almost flaw- less support by her mates. Lead-off hitter, Ann Cronyn scored the first run as she reached the base paths on an error and raced home on Jean Taylor's triple. Four markers followed in the second to provide a comfortable lead. Ebel drew free transpor- tation and doubles by Dorothy Wilson and Dolly Mattson along with a single from the bat of Cronyn accounted for the quar- tette of scores. Brucefield broke into the scoring column in the bottom of inning two with a single tally on a walk to Bev Wright, a sacrifice and J. Wilson's bingle. The teams traded single runs in the third to bring the score to 6-2. Consecutive two baggers by Audrey Pooley and Darlene Snell with no one out produced the Exeter run. Catcher Kay Sharp plated the Stars run, reaching first on a fielder's choice and scampering across on Betty Graham's single, A big six-run rally in the fourth, ,with Taylor's long home run being the damaging blow, put the local ladies well out in front. Cronyn, again in lead-off ca- pacity, started the splurge by connecting for her second single of the night and moved to second when Mary Gravett worked a free pass. This set the stage for the third sacker to bang out Hensall midgets were snowed under by Merlin in the first game of the OBA "D" play- downs 24-2 in the Kent County town Sunday. The return contest will be played at the Hensall Park Sat- urday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. Bill Chipchase, still of ban- tam age, was the only Hensall hitter to connect for more than one hit. The young catcher singled in the third and smashed a two bagger in the seventh. The only other Hensall safety was collected by Ivan Boa with two out in the ninth. Dave Taylor and Doug Dal- rymple came across the plate in the fourth with their club's only scores of the day. Larry Brooks, on the Merlin mound, sent 16 visitors back to the bench by way of the Squirts drop opener, must win Saturday THE WAIT'S TOO LONG One of the beefs we have with the Ontario Baseball Association this year and this has been voiced by several baseball men in the area is the length 'of time most clubs have to wait before en- gaging in the play-downs. By the time they swing into action on the weekend, the Staffa club will have been on the inactive list for 19 days. Zurich's intermediate club were idle a week and a half before meeting Walsingham over the past weekend. The Exeter Mohawks were quite fortunate in having their series 'get off to an early start. A prime example of the 'tardiness this year occurred in the area Midget "D" series. In the WOAA final, Hensall and Dashwood squads were tied at one game apiece in 'a series that was or- iginally scheduled to be a best-of-five when word was received that a winner must be ready within two days. In order to accomplish this a sudden- death game was played and the Hensel' club were crowned champs. When did the Hensall youngsters swing into provincial action? Only eight days later. Falls' Flyers try Chapman strikeout route. SLAGHT STINGY An eight-run rally in the fifth gave Rockets all they need- ed to take Legion Tuesday. Final score was 9-1. Gord Slaght allowed the vets only three hits and chalked up 11 strikeouts in the seven- inning fray. The vets scored their only marker in the bottom of the fourth and it gave them a tem- porary lead. Bill Mercer opened with a single, advanced on a sac- rifice and headed home on a mishandled ground ball. Rockets stormed back to score the first eight batters in the fifth. The key blows were supplied by Dick Colter, Bob Galloway, Russ Beaver, John Wade and Slaght. Bill Mercer connected for a solid triple in the sixth but was left stranded. Beaver's second safety of the night, along with a couple of walks and an error, accounted for the final Crediton tally. Al Wiper and Don Mousseau shared the Legion hurling duties. aboard. Walsingham came roaring back in their turn at the plate to knot the count and had the bases jammed when Zurich hurler Don O'Brien forced Ory Hanson to ground back to the box. With one away in the sixth, Don O'Brien connected for his second hit of the game, a double to start a rally. Don Genttner followed by drawing a free pass, both runners moved up on an infield out and scored on Jim Bedard's single. The Senators posed a serious threat in the bottom of the same inning, landing their first four batters safely aboard. Only one runner was able to score as Zurich's defences tightened and Don Garvey was trapped off third base. Singles by Bill Shaddick and Doug O'Brien with the help of a passed ball again put the H-P loop reps in scoring position in the seventh. As in most of the rallies, starting pitcher George Ross was able to quell the up- rising. Four consecutive single s, Walsingham's only hits after the third frame sent the tying and winning runs across the dish in the seventh. Opening the ninth, Bruce Moir drew a free ticket to first. Start- ing shortstop Ory Hanson took over the pitching duties after the walk and promptly struck out the next two batters. Earl Wagner kept his team's hopes alive by singling and Don O'Brien was hit by a pitched ball to cram the bases. Don Genttner, handling the Zurich Exeter rink cops second 1959 Chevrolet BISCAYNE SEDAN windshield washers, good condition Craig Chapman, a 16-year- old right winger with last year's Hensall-Zurich Combines ju- nior hockey club found a plea- sant surprise in Monday'smail. A grade 11 student at HSDHS and the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lorne Chapman of RR 1 Exeter, Craig received an invitation from the Niagara Falls Flyers of the Jr. "A" OHA to attend their try-out camp. The try-outs will run for a week beginning September 30 in the honeymoon city. This is the first contact he has had with the Hap Emms or- ganization although lie is known to have caught the eye of Bos- ton scouts at a play-off contest in Strathroy last spring. LANES SIDELINED A two-run rally in the bot- tom of the sixth gave the air- men a 7-5 win over Lanes. The bowlers took a one-run lead in the third on singles by Gary Middleton, Ron Heywood and Bill Gilfillan. A double by winning hurler Pete Baribeau and a triple by Garand put the airmen ahead 2-1 in the same inning. After hitting a single, short- stop Murray Bell tied it up with the help of George Wright's safety and a sacrifice fly. The airmen came right back with three runs on two walks, two errors and Hache's single but the Lanes tied it up again on the strength of Ron Hey- wood's double and Red Loader's homer. An error and a walk set the stage for Garand's game-win- ning single in the sixth. George Wright was the losing pitcher although he allowed only five hits. Baribeau whiffed six. 1958 Chevrolet YOEMAN STATION WAGON automatic transmission, two- tone finish, see this one. 1958 Chevrolet BISCAYNE SEDAN automatic transmission, cus- tom radio, washers, back-up lights, two-tone finish SHAMROCK LOOP MAKES PLANS While most sports fans are still thinking of baseball •and football the men behind the Sham- rock junior hockey 'loop are getting ready for what is hoped to be a banner year. The first meeting was held in Strathroy last weekend and two definite new entries were welcomed into the fold. The new clubs will be from Point Edward and Port Huron, joining Strathroy, Watford, St. Marys 'and the Hensall- Zurich Combines. The Lucan juniors, entered a year ago are not expected to be back, while the other two teams from last year, Belmont and Forest could return. All clubs at the initial meeting will be com- peting in the "D" classification with the excep- tion of Port Huron. The Michigan city, with a population of 30,000, will be in "C" class for their first try in Ontario junior ranks. Rec Director Don Gravett reporting on the chances of a junior club in Exeter says things look bleak at the moment, "but don't count us out yet." and scorea on a sacrifice fly to chalk up Exeter's second run. The first four Chippawa bat- ters in the bottom of inning three crossed the plate safely and one came home inthe fourth to up the lead to 8-2. A single by McLean, apassed ball and a wild pitch enabled the locals to count their third run in the fifth. In another rally in the sixth, Jim Guenther's second single of the day along with a fielder's choice, an error and a ground out produced two runs and cut the home team lead to three. After the first two batters were retired in the Exeter ninth Larry Haugh slammed a home run to keep his club's hopes alive. Shortstop Johnny Hayter followed with a slashing triple. This apparently upset the Chippawa hurler and he walked Jim Guenther to put the tying runs aboard. Guenther stole second on the next pitch but both runners were stranded as the next youngster grounded out to end the game. Guenther, toiling on the Ex- eter mound, fanned nine while walking only two over the seven- inning distance. A promising rally in the top of the last inning fell short as Exeter Squirts were edged by Chippawa 8-6 in the first game of a best-of-three OBA "B" series in the Niagara district town, Sunday. The teams get together in the second contest on the Ex- eter diamond Saturday at 2:00 p.m. The Exeter club started in the same manner as they finished, with rallies being nipped in the bud. Scoring once in the open- ing inning, the local youngsters were stalled with the bases loaded. Third baseman Allan Mc- Lean, the first man to the plate in the game reached first on an error. He moved up as Larry Haugh walked and scored on Jim Guenther's single. Chris Riddell followed by drawing an- other free pass, but opposing hurler Everson settled down and retired the side without further damage. The home team scored a trio of runs in their half of the first to go out in front. Haugh doubled to open the third, managed a theft of third Centralia RCAF Interna- tionals have won the Western Ontario Zone title of the Pear- kes Trophy Armed ForcesSoc- cer tournament, Maintaining an unbeaten re- cord, the CE club edged Trenton RCAF 1-0 on the Centralia field Saturday to grab the champion- ship.

BOOT WINNER EARLY It took the Internationals only thirty seconds Saturday to score the goal that provided the mar- gin necessary to advance to the next round. Hughes was on the converting end of a pass from Jerry Cummings to boot the only score of the game shortly after it started. Needing at least a tie to insure the group title, the Interna- tionals played a solid defensive style after taking the early lead and managed to hold the visitors off the score sheet. WIN CUP OPENER The Internationals took the first game of the Huron League Cup competition with a 2-1 win over Goderich Building Centre, Wednesday. The second rounds in the knock-out draw were played last night, Wednesday. Centralia and Brussels met in one half with St. Columb an and Winthrop going in the other. Oley Horn and Edmond pro- vided the scoring points as the RCAF boys notched their first win in cup play. Both were tal- lied in the first half with Horn's coming on a penalty kick. Goderich came back to avert a shutout with a single tally late in the game, also on a free boot. Buy a beautiful OrCal Diamond Insured free for one year Pleasing you pleases us. rra!"' SUE!
