The much dis- pnted gemP Was the deciding game of the best of five series. The Legion who finished first during the regular season won the opening game 8-1 and the third game 1-0 while Crediton took the second game by a 6-3 score and then defeated the Legion in the fourth and fifth contests by 3-1 and 10-6 scores. Both pitchers Don Mousseau of the Legion and Gord Slaght Of Crediton were not as effective as in the previous games as they gave up a total of 16 runs but their support was not up to par as Crediton committed eight er- rors while the Legion squad chip- ped in with six. Crediton opened the final en- counter with a pair of first inning runs as Dick Coulter reached first on an infield error and Slaght walked. Mel Finkbeiner was safe on another Legion error which scored Coulter and Russ Centralia golfers down Exeter's best RCAF Centralia golfers de- feated Exeter by 79 strokes last Wednesday to win the Exeter- Centralia challenge golf tourna- ment. Group Captain Ockenden presented the trophy to Ross Burns, president of the Centralia Club who were led by Brent Marsters and Al Piper who card- ed 71 and 72 respectively.

In the individual awards, Mars- ters took first low gross in the 'A' Flight with a 71 while Dick Weber of Exeter shot a 75 for second place. Al Piper was the 'A' Flight low net winner with a 72 and Ross Burns came in with a '75 which was good enough for second place. Lloyd Cushman took 'B' Flight low gross honours with an 84 and Bill Farrell placed second while Earl Knoblach shot a 94 to win first low net. Doug Sweet who carded a 91 finished second in 'B' Flight low net. Low gross honours in 'C' Flight went to Gar Johnston who shot a 97 while Lou Larmond placed second with a 98. Bob Russell's 101 was good enough for first low net in 'C' Flight as Gil Burrows finished second with a 99. Exeter's Sandy Elliot captured 'D' Flight low gross honours with 116 while runnerup Milt Robbins shot an 18 hole total of 122. First low net in Flight went to George Rether with a 131 and Warren May placed second with 123.

The Dodgers, who score only two or sometimes three runs a game, depend on their excellent pitching staff to keep the other teams from scoring while the Twins rely on their batters to score enough runs to make up for lack of first rate pitching. Both the Twins and the Dodgers were dis- appointing clubs last year finishing in the second division in their respective leagues, each ending up in a tie for sixth place, but now they will face each other in the series. The Dodgers who finished two games ahead of second place San Francisco with a 97-65 record have the most effective pitching staff in the majors led by lefthander Sandy Koufax who has established himself as one of the greatest pitchers in the game. Koufax completed the year with a 26-8 won-lost record and set a new season strikeout mark and along with fellow pitchers Don Drysdale, who also won over 20 games, and Claude Osteen, made L.A,'s pitching staff the stingiest in the major leagues. The Dodger bullpen is also very strong with Ron Perranoski and Bob Miller sharing the relieving du- ties whenever one of the big three gets into hot water. If the Dodgers are to win the championship this year their pitchers will have to be in top form against the hard hitting Twins although the Twins hit fewer home runs in the past season. Last year the Minnesota squad hit a total of 221 homers and finished sixth while this year they hit only 147 but ended first. In rightfielder Tony Oliva the Twins have the best young hitter in the majors and the two-time American League batting champion along with Har- mon Killebrew, Bob Allison, Don Mincher, Earl Bat- tey, Jimmie Hall and Zoilo Versalles can break up a game with one swing of the bat. Ron Fairly, Johnny Roseboro and Lou John. ston are the only real long ball threats that the Na- tional League club has as they rely on their speed on the bases and the ability of their base stealing shortstop, Maury Wills, to get on base and intimi- date the defense. The Dodgers score runs on errors, stolen bases and sacrifices and use the hit-and-run to its full advantage while the Twins, who have am- ple power, have also successfully employed a run- ning attack this year. Manager Sam Mele of the Twins hopes that his new attack will work against the Dodgers like it did against the rest of the American League this season and baseball experts are comparing the Twins' play to that of teams in the senior circuit. The blend of power and a running attack has made the Twins a very exciting ball club and could give the unspectacular Dodger defence a few anxious moments. Neither team is strong defensively but the hit- ting of Minnesota and the pitching and daring run- ning of the Dodgers will make this year's series far from dull. Because of their inexperience in World Series competition the Twins will be at a distinct disad- vantage and for this and several other reasons we will have to pick the Dodgers to win in six games or less. The first two games of the series will be played in Bloomington, Minnesota and the Dodgers will have to win only once before they return to the friendly confines of Dodger Stadium for the next three games. Dodger Stadium with its rock hard in- field and distant fences is more suitable to Los An- geles' style of play and should cut down on the Twins' home run threat. Although hitting is an important factor in the series we feel that pitching is the most important commodity in a World Series and that the Dodgers are much superior on the mound than the Twins. The strain of a tough pennant race could have taken a lot more out of the Dodgers than most people realize but the National League champions are a solid club that played 162 games in a better league than the Twins and if their pitching staff holds up they will win the series. SUCCESSFUL EVENT Last Wednesday's Exeter-RCAF Centralia chal- lenge golf tournament was one of the most success- ful of the popular event which has been staged an- nually for the last ten years. Over 40 golfers played in the competition and after the golf the participants were treated to a fine meal at the social centre on the base. The event was originated by school teacher John McCarroll of Centralia and Claude Farrow for the purpose of friendly competition and making new acquaintances and the annual tournament has be- come a very important event in the golfing season. Through the hard work of Gar Johnston, who is the president of the Exeter Men's Golfing Club, there were 23 Exeter golfers in the tournament and Mr. Johnston is to be commended for his fine job. Al Piper and .John McCarroll of Centralia were instrumental in making the tournament a suc- cess. Although the Centralia golfers again walked off with the trophy the improved turnout of Exeter golfers will undoubtedly build up their confidence for next year's competition. RUSTLINGS -- Local baseball experts who made predictions at the start of the season didn't exactly cover themselves with glory. Not one of the `guessperts' picked the Minnesota Twins to finish first in the American League while Lorne Kleinstiver was the only one to pick the Dodgers to come first in the National League . . Five more local keglers reached the coveted 300 mark last week with Den Couture of the Canners establishing the new men's high single of 363. Other 300 bowlers included Bill Farquhar 300, Bob Nicol 301, Art Finlayson 303, Eric Matzold 329 and Jack Coughlin 317. Lila Smith had an 808 last Thursday to set this year's high triple in the ladies' league. base umpire ruled that Bennett had left third before the ball was caught and called the Legion runner out after the Crediton pit- cher had tagged the bag at third. The tenth inning call seemed to take quite a bit out of the Legion and give Crediton new hope as they came up with two runs in the eleventh to take a 6-4 edge but the Legion took advantage of two more Crediton fielding miscues to tie the score again. Three successive hits by Finkbeiner, Ron Dawe and Russ Beavers gave Crediton their two runs while the Legion could not manage a hit off Slaght in the bottom of the inning as they rallied to tie the game again. Crediton broke the game wide open with four runs on two hits in the twelfth inning. With one out Coulter gained first base on the sixth Legion error of the night. Flynn flied out for the second out of the inning and it appeared that Mousseau would get out of the inning but a walk to Slaght and back to back singles by Finkbeiner and Dawe settled the issue. Ron Dawe was the leading Cre- diton hitter with three triples in six trips to the plate while Mel Finkbeiner and Russ Beav- ers each had a pair of safeties. Jim Pfaff with a double and Slaght and Coulter with a single each rounded out the Crediton batters who collected hits off Mousseau. Four different players had one hit for the losers with Don Wells leadoff double their only extra base blow. Dick Bennett, Murray Brintnell and Don Mousseau each had a single for the losers.

Browning 588) 3 5 Large trout from Maitland After fishing every spring and fall for three years Gar Johnston of Exeter finally came up with that big fish that didn't get away. And he had the fish downtown Monday morning to prove his point. The fish, a 22 inch, five and a half pound rainbow trout, was taken in the Maitland River near Goderich. Mr. Johnston, who was fishing with a friend when he hooked the fish, said he was simply -trying out his tackle in preparatior for a future fishing trip to Manitou- lin Island. He landed the fish using eight pound test line with a number three Mepps silver spinner. The fish was caught Sunday afternoon, about 5;30 p.m. and Mr. Johnston described the con- ditions' as ideal. He indicated the water is unusually high for this time of year but the rain- bows are starting to bite. He had one other good strike but failed to set the hook. Beaver's single plated the other Crediton marker. TWO Crediton miscues in the last of the third frame cut their lead to 2-1 and the Legion came up with two more runs in the next inning to jump into the lead for the first time in the game. Once again two Crediton errors led to their downfall as Jerry Finnen and Jim liennessey both reached base on miscues and scored on pitcher Mousseau's clutch single into centerfield. The winners went ahead again with a pair of tallies in the fifth to take a temporary 4-3 lead but the veterans came back with a single run in the bottom of the same frame to deadlock the score. Coulter led off the Credi- ton fifth with a single and after Al Flynn was retired back to back singles by Slaght and Fink- beiner sent two Crediton runners across the plate. The Legion tied the game at 4-4 on a single by Murray Brint- nell, an error and a sacrifice by shortstop Dick Bennett. Neither team was able to score in the sixth and seventh frames and the game went into extra innings. There was no serious threat to score from either team until the bottom of the tenth frame when a single by Dick Bennett and an error put Legion runners on second and third with only one out. The next Legion batter Cy Blommaert sent a fly ball to medium rightfield and Lloyd Mathers juggled the ball and threw too late to the plate to catch the speedy Bennett.
