Tigers claw opposition in Huron Perth action Pa9e 6 Times-Advocate, June 22, 1967 Weil Deserved Best Centralia midgets A minor hockey program that combined youngsters from CFB Centralia and the surrounding area was completed at a closing banquet at Grand Bend, Friday.

T-A photo MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY 9 a.m. till 10 p.m. SUNDAYS 12 noon till 10 p.m. Two clubs remain unbeaten in Rec loop softball play After dropping their first two starts of the season in Huron- Perth intermediate ba s e ball action, the Dashwood Tigers came to life with a bang over the past week, The youthful Dashwood nine blanked the Mitchell Legion- naires 5-0 on their home diamond Wednesday and clawed the Zurich Lumber Kings 9-4 at the Zurich park, Monday. STINGY SOUTHPAW Left hander Dave Ratz making his first pitching start of the season for the Tigers was in mid-season form, striking out the first three Zurich batters to face him and recorded seven tannings in the first four frames. His Dashwood mates were quick to provide the young lefty with a lead he never relinquished. They scored twice in their second trip to the plate, added singles in the second and third, came up with a big four-run splurge in the sixth and closed out with a single marker in the seventh. The losing Kings notched three runs in inning number five and managed their fourth and final run in the bottom of the seventh. The first two Dashwood tallies were accomplished with the help of only one base hit, that a single from the bat of lead-off batter Ken Rader, Rader and Ratz were propelled plateward as the result of two walks and the same number of Zurich fielding mis- cues. In the third, Rader was again able to complete the base cycle on the strength of singles by Ratz and first sacker Whitey Denomme. The fifth Tiger tally came in the fourth when Bill Schade drew a walk, moved up on a sacrifice and another single by Denomme and stole home. Triples by Schade and Denom- me and a one base blow by Art Rader pushed across the Tigers' three runs in the sixth. Their final marker came in the seventh as Richard Rader reached first on an error and after an infield out came home on Stan Lovie's looping single to centre. The home team Kings opened their scoring in the fifth as Doug Stade drew a free ticket, Gerald Schantz was hit by a pitched ball, Kevin McKinnon singled to left and all crossed the home dish on Phil Overholt's double. Overholt scored his club's final run in the seventh as he bashed a one-out single and romped home on catcher Bruce Horton's double. ik A two bagger from the bat of Russell sent Moore and Jackson home again in the fifth and the big first sacker scored himself on a couple of infield outs. HERE'S A CONKLIN SUPER SPECIAL . . . Pre-finished, V-Grooved ing the base paths as the result of a Kin miscue with two out in the bottom of the fifth, completed the cycle on another bobble and a single by Woods to cut the Kinsmen margin to 5-2. Consecutive singles by Pete Lawson, Don Wolfe, Bill Far- quhar and Fairbairn were main- ly responsible for driving in the three Teen Town runs in the sixth to temporarily tie the count at 6-6. In the top of the seventh the Kin forged ahead again by two as Ken Jackson, Lyle Little and Jim Hewitt singled and Ross — Please turn to page 8 COME FROM BEHIND Three runs in each of the sixth and seventh innings hurtled the Teen Town 69'ers to an 8-7 win over the Kinsmen in the first game of the year for each club. Shortstop Terry Bourne deliv- ered the deciding blow, a long home run to left field in the bottom of the seventh with two mates aboard to end the contest. The Kinsmen jumped into early command notching a pair of markers in their first trip to the plate. Bob Callingham, the lead-off batter nabbed a single, Ken Jackson was hit by a pitch- ed ball and both came around to score on a sacrifice and a couple of errors. The Teeners reached the scor- ing column in the second on a bases empty round tripper from the bat of starting pitcher Dave Woods. The Kin club upped their margin with a single tally in the fourth and a pair in the following frame. Jim Hewitt singled to open the fourth and came around on an error and an infield out. Back to back singles produced by Ken Jackson and Jim Russell plus Dick Roelofson's safety of the two base variety knocked in the fifth inning runs for the Kins- men. Catcher Bill Fairbairn, reach- WALNUT PANELLING Distaff golfers start swinging Members of the Exeter Ladies Golf club held their first outing of the season Wednesday in the form of a two-ball foursome tourney.

In Thursday night action at the local diamond, Teen Town edged the Kinsmen 8-7 and Monday also in Exeter the Kin club bounced back to blank Crediton Tigers 7-0. The other entrant in the local play-for-fun loop, Exeter Legion, won their only start in the first game of the season a week ago over Crediton. All teams are inaction tonight, Thursday, with Teen Town tra- velling to Crediton for a 7 o'- clock game and Legion and Kins- men locking horns at the Exeter park at 8 pm. SHUT-OUT VETS In Dashwood's 5-0 win over -- Please turn to page 8 BELL BLANKS TIGERS Don Bell, the fastballing right hander of the Kinsmen entry, was at his best as his club down- ed Crediton 7-0. Bell gave up a two-out single to Jim Finkbeiner in the first inning and then went on to set the visitors down one-two-three the rest of the way and recorded an even dozen strike-outs. Outside of the third and fifth innings when the Kinsmen scored all their runs. Bob Laye on the Crediton hill turned in a credit- able performance. The Kin clan hit the score- board with a four run outburst on the strength of Lyle Little's bases loaded homer sending team-mates Lloyd Moore, Ken Jackson and Jim Russell across the plate. During the National Hockey League meetings of a couple of weeks ago several appointments were made to hockey's Hall of Fame. These newest arrivals to hockey's highest hon- or list were a bit overshadowed by the league's ex- pansion draft that took place at the same time and consumed most of the attention. Probably one of the best goal tenders of all time, Walter "Turk" Broda, got the nod from the selection committee. We ran into Broda several times during the winter at Junior Hawk games and again at the local minor hockey banquet a few weeks ago. The big fellow who ran into trouble with his boss Conn Smythe many times during his playing career because of weight problems is certainly de- serving of a seat in hockey's Hall of Fame. Ironically enough, it was a letter of recom- mendation from .Smythe prior to the latest league meetings that helped Broda's selection. A 16-year veteran of the NHL, Broda holds a record that may stand for many years. In Stanley Cup playoff action, "Turk" recorded 13 shutouts and in a day when the accent is on offense, his name may be in the record book for a long time. The "jolly fat man" who now guides the Lon- don Nationals on the ice lanes of the OHA Junior "A" league picked an all-time all-star team when at the local banquet just recently. Being the modest fellow he is, Broda chose Bill Durnan and Frank Brimsek as the top goalies. On defence he named Jack Stewart and Earl Seibert. Milt Schmidt got the nod at centre while Gordie Howe and Harvey "Busher" Jackson were his selec- tions for the wing positions. During the informal chatter of the banquet, Hensall's Jack Chipchase now with the Leaf organiza- tion quipped that it was Broda who helped keep Richard in the league. This was in reference to an NHL game of many years ago when Richard scored all the goals in a 5-0 Montreal win over Toronto. In other conversation, Broda estimated that he hung up about 75 shutouts throughout his profes- sional career and that his goals-against average was about 2.45 per game. The latter figure is the one that tells the story of a goalkeeper's success. While Broda, Chipchase and Larry Jeffrey took care of the questions and answers from the boys at the Exeter banquet, the main speaker was Ebbie Bishop, the general manager of the London Nationals and the boss of Treasure Island Gardens. Bishop advised all the youngsters to take a good look at professional hockey as a vocation. He stressed the great opportunity for young players due to expansion at the NHL level, providing 120 open- ings throughout the minor systems. According to the London manager the aver- ;age salary in the national league is now $16,500 with what he calls the greatest pension plan in the ,v;forld. He told the boys to stick to their education atd if they want to take a crack at pro hockey the NHL clubs would do everything in their power to further a boy's education. Last year, the nine clubs of the OHA junior "A" group spent $1,220,000 in operating expenses. The London outlay was one of the lowest at $80,000. Bishop hinted that due to the ceasing of NHL sponsorship for junior "A" clubs this year, most of the existing clubs will be shifting their junior "B" franchises to the Toronto area in order to cut oper- ating expenses. He said it was expected that his club would sponsor a team in Markham keeping it close to the Metro area where a lot of good prospects are avail- able. 6.95 Bantams take first ball tilt Best Buy On the Market!

Scoring in every inning but the third, the Exeter bantams downed Goderich 10-3 on the local dia- mond Tuesday to open the WOAA group schedule on the right foot. The visitors put a scare into the local camp by scoring three runs in the very first inning but they were blanked the rest of the way by Exeter's hard throwing Greg Revington. The home town boys came right back to score three times in the first and repeated in the second to go in front to stay. Shortstop Johnny Hayter doubled to open the home half of the first and came home as Murray Hodge and Robbie Lindenfield reached base as the result of errors. Both moved up on a walk to Bob Pars- ons and scored on Allan McLean's sharp single to left. Four walks and singles from Hodge and Joe Darling sent the Exeter lead to 6-3 in the second. Singles by Lindenfield and Darling and a two bagger from the bat of McLean along with a couple of visiting errors gave the locals another four runs in the fourth to complete their total. Allan McLean was the top Ex- eter swatsmith getting two sing- les and a double in four trips to the plate. Revington allowed but two hits, both in the first inning and recorded eight strike-outs. Top athlete The annual track and field meet at Precious Blood Separate school in Exeter was held last week and Bradley Gregus emerged as the top athlete. Above, Bradley is being congratulated by principal Larry Black. — T-A photo A BUSY DAY The 24th of May is usually a holiday, but for Jim Duckworth of the Hawaii Islanders of the Pa- cific Coast baseball league it was probably the busiest day he will ever encounter. In the short space of 12 hours, the Hawaii right hander found time to get married, celebrate his 28th birthday and pitch his team to a 7-2 victory over Portland. Duckworth and his fiance, the former Kay McTaggart, tied the knot after the bride, an airline stewardess, arrived in Hawaii on an all-expense trip earned by helping hospital officials in Jamaica care for victims in a boating accident. Jim then had time to get to the ball park and throw a five-hitter at the Beavers, providing his own birthday present with his fourth straight victory this season. His Hawaii teammates took care of the wedding present. They raked Portland pitching for 14 hits. The game was halted after eight innings of play, but it wasn't to allow Duckworth to go home to his bride. It was the last game of the series be- tween the two teams, and the Portland club had to catch a plane. Vacation Specials 1963 CHEVROLET IMPALA SEDAN automatic, radio, whitewall tires.

If Stanky's charges keep up their winning ways in the American league, he will have bought enough new attire to become part owner of a cloth- ing store. New suits, jackets, shoes, slacks, ties and socks are part of the system Stanky uses to spur on the White Sox, It's something like a commission sys- tem for salesmen. "I want to make it clear this comes from my own fund," said the scrappy little manager. "The club has nothing to do with it." Stanky's funds come from fines to players for such violations as reporting late to the park or other infractions of club rules. "I started this fund last year when we had trouble beating Minnesota," said Stanky. "I said I would give a suit of clothes to the guy who beat the Twins, Tommy John turned the trick and got a suit. Then I told Don Bin-ford I'd give him a pair of shoes if he stole 25 bases, I made it a sport coat for 40. He finally wound up with 51 and a whole new outfit."
