Hensall midgets were the 'boys who were pushed into discard by a good Merlin squad, Exeter squirts, on the brink of elimination, fought back Saturday afternoon with a double victory over 'Chippawa to stay in contention. Both wins by the local youngsters were of the come- from-behind variety. The first of the day was accomplished with two runs after two were out in the last frame to take 'a 13-12 decision and the wind-up win was accomplished after being down 5-0 early in the fray, The ousting of Chippawa puts the Exeter boys into the vroVincial semi-finals against Mountsfield, a London suburban club, with the game of a best-of-three set going at the local park Saturday 'afternoon at 2:00 Staffa Merchants, Huron-Perth "C" reps disposed of their Corunna opposition in short or- der and have moved into the Ontario final. Little Brittain, a small community in the Lindsay area will by the Merchants' final foe with the series expected to get going this weekend, possibly in Staffa Saturday afternoon. The Staffa club is made up this year of most of a group of veterans that have been campaigning together in quest of OBA titles for quite a few years under the banner of the Mer- chants or the previous club from Mitchell. Bill Murphy and Bob Sadler have moulded a 'good solid club and are receiving valuable coaching help in the playdowns from former Stratford National star infielder, Hughie Mc- Gillivray, The other H-P entry still 'in the running, Zurich Lumber Kings, are sin the final round of "D" ranks. At the moment the Kings are down two games to one to the defending Walsingham Senators, The fourth tilt 'in a best-of-five series is scheduled for Zurich Saturday afternoon. Playing manager Don O'Brien will likely toe the rubber in the upcoming crucial contest for Zurich. The hurling school teacher holds the none Zurich pitching victory and was edged in the first game by a single run. In softball circles the most interest lo- cally is centred around the Huron Ladies' final. As has been the case for most of the play- off sets to 'date, the Exeter Greys have fallen be- hind, this time two games-to-one. After taking the first game quite handily, the local ladies dropped the next two contests on consecutive nights in Brussels. The third game was a hard-fought af- fair with a wild and wooly finish. Hensall's community park will be the site for the fourth game Thursday night and the larg- est crowd of the season will likely sit in on the expected exciting 'action. RACE FOR NATIONAL LEAGUE HONORS With another World Series only a couple of 'weeks away interest in major league doings is increasing daily. Although the perennial American league champion New York Yankees wrapped up their pennant quite handily, 'the situation in the other loop is a lot different. The National league repre- sentative could be undecided right down to the final game September 28. The whirlwind finish being put on by the St. Louis Cardinals is the talk of the day among baseball enthusiasts. After being seven games off the pace about two weeks ago, the Redbirds have whittled the Los Angeles Dodger lead 'to a single game. At the time this is being written the Cardi- nals of Johnny Keane have compiled a winning streak of ten and have captured 19 of their last 20 games. With the World Series quickly approach- ing we decided to check on the May predictions of the area "guessperts" in picking the eventual 'top clubs in each league. The only "expert" with 'any chance of being 100% right is Corporal Bob Osgood of RCAF Centralia. "Ossie" as he is bet- ter known in softball and bowling circles selected the Yankees and the Cardinals to meet for the world title. If the Cardinals fail in their bid to over- come the Dodgers, we fail to have a winner be- cause no one selected the men of Walter Alston to meet the Yanks of Ralph Houk in the fall clas- sic. Former sports editor Bill Batten along with Harry Holtzman and Jim Russell were the only crystal ball gazers able to see the Dodgers com- ing home in front, but made erroneous choices in 'the junior circuit. A certain recreation director was half right in picking the Yankees to repeat but his National loop pick is only 43 games off the pace. Before anyone asks about the Tigers from Detroit we would suggest that in future their schedule should start about the first of August. Since that time the Bengals have been playing winning percentage ball. Oh, well, wait until next year. Getting back to the National league, this week's three-game series between the two con- tenders could decide the issue. The Dodgers will have a slight advantage 'heading for the wire since they will be in the friendly confines of their home park for the last nine outings. The Cards, on the other hand will be away for four of their final seven contests. One of the big reasons for the big spurt by the St. Louis crew is the terrific performances they are getting from a couple Of national league veterans. Curt Simmons and Lew Burdette, long time winners with the Phils and Braves respec- tively, came up with key hurling winS over the weekend to keep their club's hopes alive. Of course, a fellow 'that will celebrate his forty-third birthday on the 21st of November, Stan Musigl has been contributing his share of base hits.

The Hensall hurler was in trouble only twice, that in the first and seventh but managed to work out safely. The Corunna club opened the scoring in the very first inning on a single by the lead-off batter, Tom Lumley and a cou- ple of Staffa miscues. Starting pitcher Don Lumley also a left hander scored the home team's second run in the third as, he singled and came home on a similar safety by Al Simpson. The Merchants made their first appearance on the score sheet in the fourth, tallying once without the aid of a hit.

After the In the next inning with another berme, cashing in six runs and sending Bedard to the ehowers. Bill Shaddick came on in relief and finished the game, WIN AT HOME Performing before the home town fans Saturday, the Kings sent ten men to the plate in the first inning and cashed five of them to take a commanding edge. The only other run that the home club was able to score in the next seven frames was second baseman Earl Wagner's lead-off home run in the fifth. Larry Bedard, the first bat- ter in the bottom of the first, singled and came on to notch the first run as the result of walks to Bruce Moir and Bill Shaddick and Doug O'Brien being hit by a.pitched ball. Wag- ner and Jack Chipchase followed with singles sending three more home. At this point with no one out, starting hurler Erdelac was lifted in favor of George Ross, winning hurler in the opening game of the series. Don O'Brien, the first foe to face the new hurler made the base paths safely as the short- stop booted his grounder and Wagner came on to score run number five. Walsingham scored twice in the fourth on the strength of three singles and a single time in the ninth as Schott connected for a bases empty homer. Playing manager Don O'Brien pitched the nine inning route for his club for the second time in the series and was only in occasional trouble. Need win Saturday Zurich. DeMber Kings split a pair of home and borne games With Walsingham .Senators over the weekend in the OBA inter- Mediate "D" final, but find themselves down two gamee to one in the best-of-five series. The lefties were victorious on their home field SaturdaY by a 6-3 count but dropped the third game in Walsingham Sunday 10-3. The fourth contest is sche- duled for the Zurich park Satur- day afternoon and the home cluh need a victory to stay in the running. If a fifth and deciding tilt is necessary it will be played in Walsingham, the following day, Sunday. LOSE EARLY LEAD Zurich stepped out in front in the first inning of Sunday's contest with a pair of runs and were able to hold the early mar- gin until the home team broke loose with a four run rally in the sixth. First baseman Larry Bedard greeted starting hurler Joe Er- delac with a booming triple from his lead-off position. Don O'Brien followed with a single to send his team's first run across the platter. After B ill Shaddick's fiel- der's choice, Doug O'Brien connected for a single and Earl Wagner reached first safely on a shortstopping error to load the sacks. Shaddick was forced at the plate on Bruce Moir's hopper back to the mound for the second out. A single from the bat of Don Genttner sent Doug O'Brien in with the second tally and left the bags cram- med but Leighfield in right field captured Phil Overholt's long fly to kill the rally. Both hurlers turned in a good brand of ball through the next five frames. Ory Hanson on the Senators hill was particularly stingy al- lowing only three safe drives after the first inning. Zurich's starter, Dick Bedard was in complete control until the fatal sixth, giving up but one hit to that point. The lumbermen finished the game with the same pattern as they started, by loading the bases in the ninth after cashing one tally. Jim Bedard in a replacement role in the last frame drew a walk to start things moving. Jack Chipchase slashed a single and Bedard came on to score as Don O'Brien reached the initial sack, thanks to a fielding mis- cue. First sacker Don Garvey's round tripper with two mates aboard was the big blow as the Senators forged ahead in the sixth session. Last year's champs continued Match play under way Exeter Squirts, displaying a never-give-up spirit, moved in- to the second round of OBA playdowns Saturday afternoon when they downed Chippawa in both ends of a double-header played at the local ball yard. After dropping the first game in the Niagara district a week ago, the kids came back at home to squeak out a 13-12 victory to tie the series in an early after- noon game. With a lengthy trip in sight for the third contest, both clubs agreed to settle the issue in late afternoon. The 16cal youngsters again fought from behind and took a 11-9 decision to conclude a very successful day. Play-off action will return to the Exeter diamond Saturday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. with Mountsfield supplying the op- position for the locals. AGAIN FROM BEHLND Three runs in the bottom of the sixth provided the difference as the Exeter squirts edged Chippewa 11-9 to advance to the next round of the playdowns in the second half of a double header. Paul McKnight's double, his. third hit of the tame, sent Johnny Hayter and Chris Rid- dell across the plate with the, margin of victory after one was out in the sixth. Riddell's safe blow chased lead-off batter Larry Haugh home with the tying tally. The visitors from Chippawa moved into an early lead with four markers in the first and a single in the second before the local youngsters were able to hit the scoreboard. - Trailing 5-0 going into the bottom of the third, hot corner guardian Allan McLean started the ball rolling with a double to left. A walk, a single from the bat of Johnny Hayter and a two bagger from Chris Riddell plated three runs to get Exeter back in the running. The youngsters from the Nia- gara district bounced right back in the fourth to score another pair and extend the lead to 7-3. Battling from behind again, McKnight opened the Exeter half of the same inning with a sharp single and advanced to third as Jack Darling slammed out a double. The next two batters struck out but McLean followed with a single to send both base runners across. Haugh and Hayter reached base safely by way of an error and a walk respectively to fill the bases. Consecutive singles Greys behind again, must triumph tonight Exeter Greys, for the third time in this year's playdowns, face elimination in the Huron Ladies softball group. T ,e Greys dropped a pair of one-run decisions on succes- sive nights on the Brussels diamond, 8-7 Friday and 11-10 in ten innings Saturday. The first contest played in Hensall Wednesday produced a fairly easy win for the Exeter girls 12-3. The fourth and crucial game for the locals will be played at Hensell under the lights to- night, Thursday. EXTRA TIME NEEDED Ten innings of play were necessary Saturday night in Brussels when the two clubs were tied 9-9 after regulation time. A dispute over an umpire's ruling on the tying run scored by Brussels in the bottom of the ninth caused some extra ex- cite m en t. Exeter manager Lloyd Cushman was ejected from the game for protesting too loudly. A three-run Grey rally in the third wiped out a Brussels two-run lead that was built up in the first two frames. Con- secutive singles by Rose Carey Ann Cronyn, Dolly Mattson and Mary Gravett before an Exeter player was retired accounted for the three runs. Carey's triple and Cronyn's single upped the Grey lead to 4-2 in the fourth. Ann Jorgenson singled in the fifth to send Mary Gravett home after the Exeter third sacker had doubled to open the inning. The Exeter margin was in- creased in the seventh when Audrey Pooley's single and Jor- genson's double with the helpof a couple of errors sent two more across, Brussels rallied to count four times in the bottom of the seventh to get close and the Greys answered with two in the eighth to maintain a three-run lead. A. Beach cracked a homer With one out in the home ninth and Coultes after another out reached first on an error to set the stage for the rhubarb. M. Jacklin sent a line drive down the right field line that Wes rifled a'fair ball and two runs scored to tie the gaine. Coaches and supporters of the Exeter club claimed the ball was foul and the local manager was tossed out before Order was restored. Audrey POoley singled, her third safety of the night, and scbrecl on Jorgenson'e double in the Exeter part of the extra ATTENTION JUNIOR BOWLERS Fill in this coupon and bring it to the Exeter Lanes along with the 25t registration fee and enjoy 1st Week — REGISTRATION (September 23 to September 27) 2nd Week — FREE BOWLING For All Registered Members Only.

Continuing the see-sawbrand of ball, Chippawa counted two in the top of the fifth to reclaim the lead, this time 9-8. This completed the scoring until the game winning rally in the sixth. Guenther, who took over the pitching chores from the starter Haugh in the fourth, slammed the door on the visitors after regaining the lead in the sixth, by striking out the side in the seventh and final frame. Chris Riddell and Paul Mc- Knight, following each other in the batting order, were the big guns notching three hits apiece. PROLONG SERIES Two solid base hits after two were out in the bottom half of the seventh kept Exeter squirts playoff chances alive as they edged Chippawa 13-12 inSatur- day afternoon's second game of a best-of-three series. As was the case in all games of the set, the lead changed hands quite often with the out- come in doubt, this time until Johnny Hayter's ringing single to centre decided the issue. With Exeter trailing 12-11 going into their last turn at the plate, Jack Darling started the rally with a bingle to left. The next two batters went down swinging but on the second pitch, Larry Haugh drilled a long double to left centre to chase Darling home with the tying tally and set the stage for Hay- ter's game winning blow. Allan McLean plated the first Exeter run in the opening frame, reaching first on an error and coming home on Hayter's two base hit, his first of three safe- ties of the fray. Chippawa scored twice in the second to duplicate their feat of the first inning and moved ahead 4-1. Packing away at starting pit- cher Everson, winner in the first tilt a week previous, the local kids managed a single run in the second without benefit of a hit as Randy Becker came around on a couple of walks and a passed ball. Holding the visitors off the score sheet in inning number three, the Exeterites tallied thrice in their half to move in front for the first time 5-4. McLean led the parade by slam- ming a long home run from the lead-off position. A walk to Haugh and extra base knocks by Jim Guenther and Riddell sent the other two markers across before Everson again settled down to strike out the side. Chippawa replied with a five- run outburst in the fourth to take what looked like a cozy 9-5 lead. The Exeter youngsters re- taliated with a three-run rally in their half of the same inning to cut the lead to a single mar- ket. Five solid hits, all of the one base variety produced the power to cut the visiting margin. Jack Darling, Al McLean, John Hayter, Jilt Guenther and Chris Riddell were on the delivering end of the safeties. The boys from the fruit belt counted theit final three runs in the fifth, to bring the total to an even dozen. An equal number by the home club in the fifth again cut the margin to a lone run. This time singles by McLean,Larry haugh and Paul mocaight, the latter in a pitiob,.binitig role were reepoileible for the scores. The Meth frame was the only scoreless one Of the entire game and Set up the leet ihhing ecoring drama.

Beach gave the Brussels girls an 8-7 victory in the second game of the series Friday. The Exeter gals had rallied with two runs in the top of the last inning to extend the game.

Ann Jorgenson, Helen Ebel and Ann Cronyn completed the Grey hit total with single con- tributions. Ebel went the route on the Exeter mound, being tagged for eight hits, but was tough in the clutches, fanning ten.
