Fireballing righthander Leo Remain of the Airmen was the big story in the Kinsmen-Air- men battle on Monday as he allowed the losers only five hits and struck out 18 batters in the seven inning tilt.

Lila Smith takes lawn bowlers END SLUMP After losing their last four games in a row the Exeter Lanes finally came out of their slump to blast Crediton 12-3 on the Exeter diamond, coming up with eight hits and a steady pitching performance by Dave Wood. Gord Slaght was the losing pitcher and went all the way for Crediton giving up 12 runs on eight hits while his mates com- mitted five errors in the field.

The losers scored twice in both the third and fourth innings and then scored single runs in the sixth and seventh to complete their scoring.

The locals have three re- gularly scheduled games re- maining, two with Goderich and one with Brussels. Brussels threw a scare into the Greys by taking a three run lead in their half of the first in the Tuesday game, but the locals knotted the score in the same frame. The visitors came up with three more tallies in the sec- ond, but the Greys retaliated with seven big runs and the losers were never able to catch up. Patti Robinson went the full seven innings on the mound for the Greys and gained the vic- tory allowing the visitors eight hits.

The 56th annual Canadian Open Golf Cham- pionship was played at Port Credit's Mississaugua Golf Club last week and aside from amateur star Nick Weslock, Canadian golfers did not fare too 'well. Weslock, originally from Windsor but now a member of the Mississaugua Club, has won almost every important amateur event in Canada including the recent Ontario Open. At the Canadian he gave a good account of himself by finishing in a tie for thirteenth, 15 strokes off the winning score of 273 that was turned in by Gene Littler of Las Vegas, Nevada, Toronto professional George Knudson, who has been a big money winner on this year's pro tour, was supposed to be the top Canadian but finished with the same score as Weslock while a lesser known Al Johnston of Montreal was the top Canadian with a 72 hole total of 286 only two strokes better than Weslock. Littler picked up $20,000 by putting to- gether rounds of 70, 68, 69 and 66 in the four- day tourney for his first tournament victory in three years, while big Jack Nicklaus of Colum- bus, Ohio, who could have tied the match in the last two holes, finished only one stroke be- hind Littler, pocketing $12,000 in the richest Canadian Open in history. With Littler holding a one stroke lead and only two holes, Nicklaus unleased one of his patented long drives on the par four 17th that left him only 12 feet from the green. But a poor chip shot left him 18 feet from the hole and he had to settle for a par. On the final hole Nicklaus needed a nine-4foot putt to tie Littler for the lead but his putt, which could have meant the difference of $8,000, rolled a foot past the hole. Another disappointment besides the poor Canadian showing was the lacklustre play of Arnold Palmer who has been the big name on the pro tour for the last few years. Palmer pick- ed up $1,000 for his eight-place finish but he finished well down the list of money winners. It seems that he is no longer capable of making his late charge to the top which has made him famous. The millionaire Palmer who pilots his own plane to tournaments was the most follow- ed player in the tourney but finished 10 strokes off the pace. The poor showing of Canadian golfers in the Open must be a source of concern for the tour- nament sponsors who would like to see a Can- adian finishing well up with the leaders. But it seems that Canada is still not able to produce the players to compete with the outstanding players of the U.S. and Great Britain. Many golf experts feel that this country's 'climate with its long winter and cool tempera- tures is the reason why Canadian golfers are not as polished as the Americans, while others feel that there are a great many more U.S. golfers than there are in Canada. But whatever the reason, Canada has not been able to pro- duce a top challenger as yet. In the past, Stan Leonard of Vancouver and Al Balding of Toronto have been leading Can- adian players on the tour. But now young George Knudson of Toronto is the top Canadian representative and right now he figures to be Canada's only hope against such outstanding in- ternational players as Bruce Devlin, Bruce Crampton and Kel Nagle of Australia, Gary Player of South Africa and Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and all the other top professionals in the United States. 17, RUSTLINGS—The National League's victory in last week's All-Star game, although it was no runaway, further points up the fact that the senior circuit is the stronger of the two major leagues. Willie Mays was once again the star of the game. He belted a leadoff homer and scored the winning run in the 6-5 win to give the Na- tional Leaguers the edge in the All-Star series 18-17 with one game tied. At one time the American League held a 12-4 lead in games but the National League has battled back to take the lead. With the likes of players like Mays, Willie Stargell, Frank Torre and pitchers Juan Marichal, Don Drysdale, Sandy Koufax and Bob Gibson it could be quite a while before the junior circuit can regain the lead . . The Ex- eter Men's Rec Softball loop schedule is near- ing its conclusion and right now it looks like a battle right down to the wire between the Legion and the Airmen for the top spot. As this is written the Legion holds a slim one point margin over the Airmen 'with five games re- maining for each team. Staffa blanked 6-0 at Walkerton The league leading Walkerton chit) recorded their sixth win of the season on their home diamond, Sunday when right- bander Joe Berberick blanked Staffa 6-0 on four hits. Walk- erton's victory gives them a 6.1 record and almost clinches first place for them in the Hur- On-Perth loop. Berberick held the usually lusty hitting Staffa club to four well scattered singles in the faSt moving nine inning contest, His mates scored two runs in the first, one in the third and then closed out the scoring with three runs off Staffa hurler Porky Wallace in the seventh .frame. The only Staffa players Who were able to solve the slants of the hard thrOWirig Berberick i were Bill Gatenby n the first inning, Link rtehfritCh in the third, Bill Mcble.eght in the seventh and Wallace in the ninth. The Huron-Perth playoff schedule will be drawn up in Mitchell following the Walker- ton-Staffa game on Thursday night. The regular schedule will end this Sunday with Staffa playing in Dashwood and the league ex- ecutive hopes to have the play- offs under way next week, The Dashwood diamond will be the scene of a grudge game on Aug. 1 when the Dashwood Intermediate Champs of 1953 will take on the current edition of the Dashwood Tigers, Former stars such as Jim and Bob Hayter, Jake and Robbie Wein, Bob Storms, Dan Cor- riveau, Charlie Tiernan, Lorne Kleinstiver, Jack Ford, Jack Gaiser and Bob Br6wn are to be on hand for the day which should produce a. lot of eXelte- rnent. .40WM00450040~0WD,Atx ...
