Gaining momentum in the sec-
ond half, the South Huron Panth-
ers downed Strathroy District
Dollegiate's senior footballers in
an exhibition contest In the Mid-
dlesex county town by a 20-0
count, Wednesday.
Playing under game conditions
for the first time this year in
preparation for Friday's league
opener in Seaforth, the Panthers
were held off the score sheet in
the first half. However, they came
alive in the thirdquarter to score
two touchdowns and added an ad-
ditional major in the last period.
Ron Youngash put the locals
on the board early in the third
quarter on a 15-yard run. Dan
Cameron booted the cenvert
through the uprights to put the
Panthers up 7-0.
Youngash crashed over the goal
line from five yards out late in
the same period to put his team-
mates out in front 13-0.
The Panthers final sco ring
spurt came on the last play of the
game with signal caller Bud Des-
jardine dashing 20 yards on an
option play. Cameron again con-
verted to give the SHDHS boys
the 20-0 decision.
The Panthers showed a decided
edge on the statistics board,
racking up 13 first downs to eight
by Strathroy, two of the latter
coming by way of penalties.
Desjardine, directing the
Panther offence, completed three
of ten passes during the after-
noon, good for 69 yards. Bill
Malone grabbed the longest aerial
toss for a distance of 38 yards.
On the ground, the locals gain-
ed 187 yards with Desjardine the
top carrier, piling up 99 yards
in nine tries through the opposi-
tion line.
Each team had one pass inter-

drawing a free ticket to first and
a Teener error on Bogart's

secutive singles by Al Flynn and
Gary Middleton and another mis-

across the plate.
A walk to Jim Russell, a single
from Bogart and Larry Stire's
long drive that was good for two
bases, upped the winner's margin
in the fifth.
Larry Willert singled to start
the Teen Town rally in the sixth

With the big league baseball season's regular
schedule ending this week, it may prove interesting
to check back and see how accurate our experts were
in selecting the probable winners in the two leagues.
Of the 15 guessperts polled, only Wayne
O'Rourke has a chance of having his two favorites
meet in the upcoming World Series.
The young barber up the street was the only
one to pick the Orioles and Dodgers to top their
respective groupings.
At the time of this writing, the Dodgers lead
the Pittsburgh Pirates by a game and a half, while
Baltimore have already clinched their first American
loop flag since the franchise was moved over from
St. Louis.
In the poll held early in May, the Dodgers
and Orioles were each selected five times, but
O'Rourke was the only one to put the two together,
Murray Brintnell, Howard Holtzman and yours
truly selected the Pirates in the junior circuit and
we still stand a chance of being correct, but our
glances in the crystal ball pictured the Detroit Tigers
as being the best in the American.
The way the Dodgers and Pirates have been
battling back and forth the last month, the NL race
could go right down to Sunday's final games and
possibly on to a playoff series.
The Los Angeles nine could have a slight
edge from the schedule maker in their run to the
wire. They meet the Phillies in the final three con-
tests, while Pittsburgh are battling the Giants, who
also still have a chance.
For the last two weeks of the National league
season, president Warren Giles has made a change
in regulations regarding the start of games,
Now when the chips are down, Giles has
placed responsibility as to whether any game should
start in the hands of the umpires. Normally, this de-
cision rests with the home club when inclement
weather or questionable ground conditions prevail
with the men in blue taking over once play has be-
gun.
Besides being a Pirate rooter, we would like
to see a Baltimore-Pittsburgh World Series for yet
another reason. With these two clubs meeting, fans
will be assured of a free swinging and probably high
scoring series. When the fall classic rolls around,
baseball interest is at its peak and an action filled
game is what most fans want.
CANADIANS GO SOUTH?
The performance of Chatham's Fergy Jenkins
in Saturday's televised baseball game of the week,
triggered some comments from the sportscasters
that didn't meet with too much approval in these
parts,
Jenkins was the big obstacle in the Dodgers'
march to the pennant when he shut them out and
his Chicago Cub team mates were victors 4-0.
In referring to Jenkins, Curt Gowdy and Pee
Wee Reese commented that very few Canadians
make the grade in professional baseball ranks. They
used the reason that the weather "up there in Can-
ada" was apparently not conducive to playing ball.
This particular broadcast was coming from
Wrigley Field in the Windy City of Chicago, which
is almost straight west across Lake Michigan from
Jenkins' birthplace of Chatham.
Taking •a further look at an available Atlas
we find at least three cities that have franchises in
the big leagues that are located geographically far-
ther north than Chatham. Minneapolis, Detroit and
Boston are to the north of the most southerly point
in Ontario while Pittsburgh, New York, Baltimore
and St. Louis are just a bit in a southerly direction,
Their memories are also quite short as far as
Canadians playing in the big leagues are concerned.
Granted, very few of our north country natives do
make the grade professionally in the United States,
but over the years several have made good sized
contributions to the American game.
Probably the first Canadian to wander south
and make it big in the world's top baseball ranks
was a London area native, Mooney Gibson. Gibson
was a top flight catcher for many years with the
Pittsburgh Pirates, and managed the Bucs in 1920-22
and 1932-34,
Going strictly from memory, we will try to
recollect a few of the other Canucks who have head-
ed down to play for pay, although some didn't last
for too many seasons.
Back somewhere in the 40's. Oscar "Lefty"
Judd of Ingersoll was a member of the Boston Red
Sox and Phil Marchildon, hailing from Penetang,
was more than a capable chucker for the Philadel-
phia Athletics. At about the same time Dick Fowler
of the Toronto area was with the same club managed
by the late Connie Mack.
In about the same period of time, a couple
of outfielders were quite prominent in the American
league and they came from northern parts of our
province of Ontario, Jeff Heath, calling Fort Wil-
liam his home, spent close to ten seasons with the
Cleveland Indians and compiled a lifetime batting
average of .293.
Another nine-year performer with the New
York Yankees was George Selkirk. Nicknamed
"Twinkletoes", Selkirk patrolled the outfield for the
Yanks in five World Series outings, held a regular
batting average of an identical .293 for his American
league stint and hailed from Huntsville.
A Toronto native, Goody Rosen spent nine
years in the Brooklyn Dodger organization and had
a successful season in 1945, batting .325. A rather
erratic lefty from the Brantford area, Joe Krakatis-
kas spent several years in the American league with
Philadelphia, Washington and St. Louis.
Closer to home, Frank Coleman and Tim Bur-
gess of London had a few good terms in the majors,
the former at New York and Pittsburgh and the
latter at St. Louis. Other Canucks who have graft.,
ated, in addition to the ones we mentioned last week
are Ted Bowsfield, a pitcher from British Columbia
and Pete Ward, a son of Jimmie Ward, star defence-
man of the old Montreal IViaroons now in his fourth
year with the Chicago White Sox.
The way Jenkins has been throwing during
the last month since being elevated to a starting role
by manager Leo Durocher of the Cubs, our neigh-
bors to the south will probably hear a lot more about
Chatham and the province of Ontario in the next
teh years,
