Tiernan struck out four in the seven inning tilt and allowed only three Goderich runners to get as far as third base. The locals started off the gamy on the right foot by scor- ing two runs in the bottom of the first inning and then added one more tally in the second. That was all the help that Tiernan needed, but the Greys came back with two runs in the fifth frame and then closed out the scoring with three more in the sixth. Leftfielder Anne Baynham was the hitting star of the game as she banged out three singles in four trips to the plate. Fern Dougall had a pair of singles for the locals while Audrey Pooley poled a two run homer in the fifth frame. Jean Weber and Tiernan had singles for the winners. Leadoff batter Walters was the only Goderich hitter to man- age more than one hit off Tie- rnan. She picked up two singles with one coming in the first inning and one in the fifth. The Greys absorbed their third loss of the season last Thursday night in Br ussels when the home team came up with nine runs in the first inning and then went on to shel- lack the locals by a 25-9 score.

With the American League baseball season more than. half over the Detroit Tigers look like they are for real and will be a bonafide contender for the AL pennant all the way to the wire. The Bengals, who have many followers in the area, have won six of their last seven games to move into fourth place past the slumping Chicago White Sox, The Tigers took three out of four from the White Sox over the weekend and are now only five and a half games behind the league leading Minnesota Twins. They will have an ex- cellent chance of moving up in the next two weeks since their next 13 games will be against first division teams including New York, Chi- cago and Cleveland. If they are able to hold their own in these upcoming games, the Tigers would be in good position for the race to the wire. Detroit has always been a good baseball town. But in the past couple of seasons they have had weaker clubs and the attendance has been. down. Now Tiger Stadium is crowded most of the time. More than 36,000 people showed up for Sunday's doubleheader with the White Sox. We happened to be among the large crowd at the Sunday games and anyone who likes to see hits and runs instead of pitching battles would have had a good time in Tiger Stadium on Sunday. Both teams scored a total of 31 runs and hit 12 home runs when the White Sox came from behind to win the first 10-6 and the Tigers took the nightcap 13-2. The Bengals got their share of hits in the two games, Their real weakness showed up in the first game when the Sox scored eight runs in one inning to erase a 4-0 Detroit lead and put the visitors ahead to stay. After the Sox had chased starting pitcher Mickey Lolich, manager Charlie Dressen had to use four relief pitchers to retire the side. The lack of a competent relief pitcher is the Tigers' biggest problem and if they are unable to come up with a dependable bull- pen in the next few weeks their chances of win- ning the AL pennant will be reduced. GOLF COURSE TAKING SHAPE Work on the Ausable Golf Course near the Morrison Dam has been progressing favour- ably this summer but owners Gib Dow and George Rether Jr. will probably not open the course to the public until next season. The new Exeter layout which is bounded by a bush, the river flats and a drainage ditch is set in the roll- ing terrain south of the dam. The local owners eventually plan to have an 18-hole pro-rated course but at present they have 14 large greens and tees that are coming along favourably due to the fine irrigation sys- tem that is in use. The tees and greens have underground irrigation while the fairways have sprinklers. Every night this irrigation system drenches the course with water, 1,000 gallons per minute, and the grass on the fairways, greens and tees is beginning to take on a lush look. The course which is being built to the standards outlined by the Professional Golfers' Association is designed by Dave Ferguson of Aylmer who has had considerable experience in laying out golf courses. Ferguson has assisted in laying out such well known courses as Jasper Park, Banff, Uplands and St. Georges. Dow and Rether had hoped to have the course open to the public this year but a back- ward spring, a lawn mower strike and slow ship- ment of necessary equipment have caused sev- eral delays. The two men have decided not to allow play on the course until it is in good con- dition. SED CAR The Kinsmen came up with nine runs in the second and third innings at Exeter to de- feat the Lanes for the second time this season 11-3. It was the Kinsmen's second win of the season. Don Bell was the winning pitcher in the high scoring con- test as he allowed the Lanes six hits while striking out eight in the seven inning tilt. 64 Pontiac STRATOCHIEF COACH, 2 speed wiper and washer, white- wall tires. 64 Corvair 500 COUPE, custom radio, like new. 63 Corvair RUSTLINGS — Baseball in this and many other communities seems to be dying a slow but we hope not a sure death but by the look of some of the attendance figures in the National and American Leagues last Sunday, major league baseball is still very popular with the people across the border.

Haugh who struck out six Clinton batters in the seven inning tilt gave up a si ng le in the first inning to leadoff bat- ter Brian Edgar for Clinton's only safety. Haugh's team mates gave him lots of hitting support since they banged out nine hits end scored once in the first, three times in the Second, two in the third, one in the fifth and five more times in the sixth for their lopsided win. Haugh aided his own cause by clubbing three hits and Scoring three runs while the other six Exeter Safeties Were divided evenly among Joe Darling, Allan MacLean, Jack Darling, Dennis Quinn, Dennis Ferguson and Steve Riddell.
