The picture at the top left shows the speed of the horse at the be- ginning of the rescue race as the rider swings in to pick up another passenger. The other two pictures show the entries heading for the finish line with the hitchhikers desperately hanging on.— T-A photo LOTS OF HURLERS The Zurich Lumber Kings, in hanging up two victories in three outings against the Mitchell BP's, used five different pitchers. In the 4-3 Zurich win in Mit- chell Wednesday, Robert Mac- Naughton and Dick Bedard shar- ed the pitching chores. Dick Bed- ard and Jim Pfaff worked in a losing cause in Mitchell in Sun- day's opening half of a twin bill while Don O'Brien went the dist- ance in the nightcap to gain his second straight win. Close with a pair of markers in their last turn at the plate. Gord Vincent singled, moved to second on an error and scored on Bill Schade's single to provide the first Dashwooci marker. Whitey Denomme's double and a single from the bat of Bill Schade combined with a couple of walks sent the final trio of Tiger runs across in the fifth. Denomtne was the slugging star for the Dashwood crew, slamming two singles and a double to go with a walk in four trips to the plate. Ratz was in difficulty only in the third inning of the nightcap when Chesley scored their only two runs in the 9-2 Dashwood victory, The young southpaw retired the side in order in the fourth and fifth and then gave way to Eugene Guenther who breezed through the last two frames quite easily. It was Guenther's first appearance on the mound in more than a month. Denomme again proved to be the hitting hero of the second game as he banged a three-run home in the first inning and singled in the third as his mates scored twice. Singles by Bob Hoffman and Art Rader preceded Denomme's big blow in the first and Gord Vincent's double also aided in the third frame rally. Three Chesley fielding mis- cues along with a double by Ratz and a single from the bat of catcher Gord Vincent sent the final five Tiger runs across the pan in the fifth. The Dashwood Tigers, on the strength of three consecutive wins over the past week, have taken over undisputed possession of first place in the Huron-Perth baseball league. After dropping their first two starts of the season, the youth- ful Tigers have lost only once in their next 10 starts to take over the loop lead with a record of eight wins, three losses and a tie. The Zurich Lumber Kings took two out of three contests from the Mitchell BP's to strengthen their grip on the league's runner- up spot with seven wins in an even dozen starts. Dashwood were on their home diamond for their latest wins, outscoring St. Marys 5-1 on Wed- nesday and sweeping a Sunday double bill from Chesley by scores of 4-3 and 10-2. Zurich Lumber Kings edged Mitchell BP's in the Perth County town Wednesday by a 4-3 count and the two clubs split a Sunday doubleheader with each team winning on their home field. Mitchell took the first half 9-3 and the Kings bounced back to grab the nightcap 9-7. Breaks doubled hits as his club won 5-1. The Tigers scored three times in the third inning and were never seriously threatened thereafter. They added a final pair of mark- ers in the fifth and the visitors scored their only run in the top of the seventh. Two errors, a hit batsman and singles by Whitey Denomme and Ken Rader sent the first Dash- wood runs across and one base blows by Richard Rader and Gord Vincent were responsible for the final scores. Frontier Day awards go to Ilderton rider "LOOK YOUR BEST" FOUR WINS EACH Dashwood's winning pitching combination of Bob Webb and Dave Ratz each chalked up their fourth win of the season in Sun- day's double win over Chesley. Webb went the complete dist- ance in the seven inning opener and allowed only three hits in gaining the 4-3 win. He retired the Chesley batters in order in four of the seven innings as he faced only 25 visiting batsmen. The Chesley boys jumped out front with a single run in the second frame and stayed there until the Tigers scored once in the fourth and three times in the fifth before the visitors came Specializing in HAIR STYLES LEFTY STINGY Dave Ratz, in chalking up his third win of the season Wednes- day, allowed the visiting St. Marys intermediates only two Such as * The New Yorker * Collegiate * Ivy League * Flat Tops, etc. Mousseau, Maureen Sharpe, Nancy Swartz, Dick Mullis; ju- nior equitation, Trudy Johns, Wayne Preszcator, Swartz, Terry Sharpe; senior barrel race, John Royal, Paisley, Beer entry, Michelson; junior flag race, Karen Cornish, Sharpe, Tim Armes, Liza Cording; senior flag race, Royal, Mousseau, Pais- ley, Mullis; junior pony race, Gail Ecker, Barbara Parsons, Danny Turvey, Ecker; senior rescue race, Royal, Hicks,Pais- ley, Cornish; junior rescue race, Maxine Bilyea, Cornish, Al Black, Armes; senior pole bending, Michelson, Cornish, Mousseau, Bilyea; Texas speed and action, Paisley, Cornish, Michelson, Cording; junior pony race under 52", Armes, Allan Parsons, Black, Barbara Parsons; tire race, Cornish, Bilyea, Pat Hardy. GERRY RADER GERRY SMITH Legion stays atop Rec loop despite a loss to Crediton BARBERS 364 Main Street Air Conditioned One of the most active horse- men in Western Ontario, Jim Paisley of Ilderton took the high point award at the two-day horse show held at Hensall Friday and Saturday in connection with the village's Frontier Weekend. In the combined show, Paisley won three events, placed second four times and third on three occasions to take home a total of $136 in prize money. Of the 19 first prizes up for grabs on Friday night and Satur- day afternoon six were grabbed by Exeter and Hensall area com- petitors. Barry Mousseau captured the key hole race to close out Fri- day's program and came right back to retain his winning ways by taking Saturday's first event, the western pleasure class. Other local participants tak- ing home a red ribbon were Noel Veri, Trudy Johns, Gail Ecker and Bruce Hicks riding an entry from the George Beer stables. Several accidents took place during the two day show staged at Hensall Community Park. Two participants, Giselle Cording and Jack Rundle, suffered only minor injuries as their horses fell dur- ing the action. singles in a half dozen appear- ances at the plate. Larry Stire and Lloyd Moore aided t h e winning Kinsmen cause with three safeties each. leading the Teen Town 69'ers 5-0 in the top of the third. All four teams in the popular play-for-fun league are in action tonight, Thursday, with the Le- gion again visiting Crediton fora 7 o'clock contest and the Teeners and Kinsmen meeting in Exeter at 8. Despite their second loss of the season, the Exeter Legion main- tain their lead atop the Exeter and district Rec Softball league standings. In the biggest upset of the year to date, the Crediton Tigers edged the Legion 4-3 in C rediton Thurs- day to post their first win. In Monday's only action, the Kinsmen upped their season record to three wins and two losses by thumping the same Crediton club 24-11 under the lights at Exeter Community Park. Rain suspended a Thursday floodlight game with the Kinsmen RUNS APLENTY Runs were a dime a dozen in the Kinsmen 24-11 Monday night rout over Crediton. The winners scor- ed at least one run in every inning and came up with seven markers in the fourth and ten more in the sixth to salt away the win. In scoring 24 times, the Kins- men banged out 25 hits off Credi- ton hurler Bob Laye. Don Bell went the seven inning distance on the Kinsmen hill and chalked up eight strikeouts. Crediton broke out with eight scores in their second turn at bat and were able to stay in front until the fourth. Jim Finkbeiner wielded the big bat in the second, bashing a home run and single in his two trips in the same frame. Other Crediton performers to get two hits apiece were Jim and Bob Laye. Ken Jackson was the top long ball hitter for the Kinsmen, swatting two home runs and a double in five trips. Lyle Little and Jim Russell each had two doubles and the same number of GLENREID KENNELS NO. 4 HWY. KIPPEN Home of Famous AFRICAN BASENJIS (Barkless Dogs) Pups available in December only.

PHONE 262-5052 WELL PLAYED Thursday's 4-3 Crediton win was a nip and tuck battle from start to finish with good fielding plays turned in by both sides. Crediton's lead-off man in the bottom of the first, Dick Colter, singled and came in to score on similar safeties by Larry Laye and Doug and Jim Finkbeiner. The Legion came right back to knot the count in the top of the second as Bill Mercer singled and came around to tally on Dick Bennett's double. Crediton bounced back with a pair of markers in their half of the second and were never headed. Winning pitcher Bob Laye and Colter singled and both rode home on Roy Smith's double. Chub Edwards and Cy Blom- maert put together base hits in the third to produce a single Legion and cut the Crediton lead to 3-2. The score remained like this until the sixth when the home team Tigers sent Jim Pfaff safely across the plate. In a last ditch effort to pull out a win, Gerry Finnen stroked a Legion homer in the top of the seventh but Laye was able to retire the side and preserve a well deserved victory. BREAKS LEG The most serious mishap oc- curred Friday afternoon prior to the actual show when Doug Mock suffered a triple leg frac- ture when the horse he was riding fell on him. Doug, 14, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Ron Mock of Hensall is a patient in St. Joseph's Hospital, London. The complete horse show re- sults are as follows: FRIDAY Western pleasure, Noel Veri, Bruce Hicks, Maureen Sharpe, Gord Wadds; barrel race, Jim Paisley, Bill Sims, Nelson Bil- y e a , Linda Talbot; flag race, Thor Michelson, Glenn Simpson, Paisley, Bilyea; rescue race, George Beer's entry with Bruce Hicks riding, Paisley, Ed Cor- nish, Bilyea; pole bending, Pais- ley, Michelson, Beer entry, Bil- y e a; Texas speed and action, Michelson, Paisley, Giselle Cording, Cornish; key hole race, Barry Mousseau, Paisley, Mich- elson, Glenn Simpson. SATURDAY Western Pleasure, Barry Bantams take third victory Golfers foiled on eighth hole Problems on the eighth hole cost a pair of entries in the sec- ond mixed two-ball tourney of the season at the Ausable Golf Course a chance to take home the top prize. The eventual winners, Dick Weber and Helen Burton, com- pleted the eighth in five strokes while the top contenders blew to a nine and lost all chances of winning the tourney. After play on the seventh was completed, Ernie Chipchase and Norma Coleman were in front with a 34 and Don Joynt and Jean Weber were right behind with a 35. The winning combination of Weber and Burton completed the nine hole course in 47 while C hip- chase and Coleman came in with a 48 and the Don Joynt-Jean Weber combo ended in a tie for third with Bill Coleman and Aud- rey Joynt at 49, The prize for the highest score designating the most honest golf- ers of the night went to Murray Moore and Estelle Chalmers. Another defeat for local Greys The Exeter Greys, still look- ing for their first win of the season in the southern division of the Huron Ladies' Softball league, were thwarted by the St. Marys Comets and the weather- man over the past week. In their only outing of the week, the Greys were outscored 11-2 in St. Marys Saturday and their Tuesday home date with Bruce- field was washed out by heavy rains. The next scheduled action has the Exeter gals going to Brucefield Friday night and re- turning here Tuesday to play host to Goderich. In Monday evening league ac- tion, the Brucefield Bombers downed the Goderich Panthers 5-3, the first time the lakeport gals have suffered defeat this season. As has been the case in most of their games so far this year, the Greys have been able to stay close to the opposition for the first four or five innings and then fall by the wayside in the last inning or two. Saturday's contest inSt. Marys was no exception as the Exeter nine held the strong St. Marys crew to a 2-2 tie for the first three innings and were only over- whelmed by rallies of three and four runs in the last two frames. After the home club took a lead of one run in the first inn- ing, the Greys came back in the top of the second to score twice and go into a temporary lead. Lead-off batter Lorraine Hall started the Exeter rally with a single to left field. Brenda Din- ney followed with a two base blow and both girls scampered home as Joan Campbell reached first on a fielder's choice and Patti Robinson grounded out. The only other Exeter hits gained from the deliveries of St. Marys hurler Barbara Pfaff were a single by Darlene Snell and doubles by Audrey Pooley and Dinney. The latter and Rob- inson who drew two walks were the only Greys to reach first on more than one occasion. The Exeter IGA bantams went on a hitting spree in the last four innings of a regular scheduled WOAA game in Goderich Satur- day to down the lakeport boys 9-2, The locals, who failed to get a man on base in their first three turns at the plate, broke loose with a 13 hit attack in the latter part of the game to win going away. Jack Darling singled to open the fourth and came around to break the scoring ice on a similar safety by Ron Lindenfield. With one out in the fourth the Exeter boy8 got down to serious batting business. Four consecu- tive singles from the bats of Paul McKnight, Greg Revington, Allan McLean and Darling preceded Larry Haugh's bases clearing home run to put the 1GA's in front 6-0. Ron Janke poked a bases empty round tripper in the sixth and a double by Haugh and singles from Lindenfield and Dale Mc- Kenzie in the seventh upped the Exeter run total to nine, Greg Revington went the seven inning distance on the Exeter hill and Was in Very little trouble allowing but six hits while strik- ing Otit seven of the opposition, The local baseballers, aged 15 and under, now have a season record of three Wins, a loss and a tie in five starts and see ac- tion again tonight, Thursday fad.- it* Mitchell in the Perth Cotinty town at 6:30, If anybody has complained in the past about the number of stoppages of play in Canadian foot- ball games that were televised, this was only a be- ginning. Television will cause eight 60-second inter- ruptions in every Canadian Football League game this season, twice as many as before. The referee this year will be required to call two time-outs in each quarter so the people who sponsor television coverage will get that many chances to insert their advertising messages. If the living room spectators think they are bored, what about the customers at the scene of ac- tion who pay up to five dollars to watch the pro footballers in real live action. There were only four breaks in 1966 league games but that apparently wasn't enough for the television sponsors. The eight commercial breaks which could come at crucial times in a game caused plenty of boos from the fans at Thursday's exhibi- tion game in Montreal between the Alouettes and Calgary Stampeders. We should be thankful for small mercies though, as the players aren't compelled to stop mid- way through a play while a commercial goes on. In Thursday's first test of the new scheme, the public address announcer explained to the fans why Sey- mour Wilson kept running over and leaning on the timer's table every so often. The Alouette-Stampeder game wasn't tele- vised, but Wilson was under 'instructions to take the timeouts anyway, presumably to let all concerned grow accustomed to the new arrangements. Before anyone else points out the recent de- cline of our favourites in the American league, the Detroit Tigers, we will pass along some information gleaned from the friendly butcher next door, Harold Wolfe. "Batch" as he is better known, is the top Ben- gal supporter in the area. "I'm going over on the weekend to cheer the Tigers on and get them back on a winning streak," says Wolfe. "It's injuries that is hurting us the most right now. Al Kaline, Gates Brown, Dick McAuliffe and Dave Wickersham are on the injured list right now. Kaline is as good as two ordinary men," added the Tiger stalwart. "GO" IN CHICAGO While the picture may not be so rosy in De- troit, baseball fans in the city of Chicago have plenty to smile about. At the time of writing the Chicago White Sox lead in the American league by a half- game while the Cubs, their neighbors in the Na- tional league, hold down second spot only two games behind the front running St. Louis Cardinals. Chicagoans must be forgiven for warming up to the Cubs rather slowly. Not long ago, National league standings showed the Cubs in third place while attendance figures relegated the team to more familiar surroundings, last place. Subsequent events, however, suggest the Cubs are converting the skeptics. They drew 31,733 for a recent Sunday double-header, and four days later, on a Thursday afternoon, 27,374 saw the Windy City's new darlings knock off the Pirates. The fol- lowing Sunday, 40,464 filled the park to cheer the Cub's triumphal windup of a home stand. Crowds of these dimensions have been con- spicuous by their absence from Wrigley Field for many seasons. It has been 21 years since the Cubs enjoyed a first-division finish. If their fans were dubious of the Cubs' staying power 'at high altitude, they had good reason. Now the doubters are taking a look and coming back for more. It's a long way from the World Series in Oc- tober, and the Cubs may stumble long before that time. but even the most pessimistic Cub supporters must suspect that this club's days as a doormat are numbered, if not over. Cub opponents were con- vinced weeks ago. If the Cubs do stay in the race, they won't have to apologize for their attendance. Wrigley Field has no 'lights, but it had none in 1929, either, when the Cubs drew 1,485,166. Chicago fans supported the Cubs over a million strong for five years, 1927-31 and they will do it again if the Cubs give them a run for their money. There are a lot of reasons for the rise of the Cubs this year and one of the most surprising is the performance of Chatham's Fergy Jenkins. The big right bander has won 11 games for the Cubs and showed in last week's all-star game that he belongs in the big leagues. In three innings of mound duty, Fergie struck out six of the Ameri- can league's best, tying the record for most whif- fings in a three-inning stint. While most of us as Canadians like to think Jenkins is playing a big part in the Cubs' success, there are many other contributing factors. Aging Ernie Banks refuses to act his age while showing youngsters Adolfo Phillips, Randy Hundley and Ge- lenn Beckert how the game should be played. Fel- lows like Billy Williams and Ron Santo already knew. Most people thought the Army grabbed the Cubs' pitching staff when Ken Holtzmann marched away. It's hurlers like Jenkins and Chuck Harten- stein that have proved the difference. Hartenstein, who is nicknamed "Twiggy", proved to be the pitch- ing hero in the Cubs' 14 wins in 15 starts about a week ago. He won two games in relief and saved three others in successive games. Manager Leo Durocher says, "Hartenstein is really something. Nothing seems to disturb him and he really thrives on work." Twiggy said the more work he gets, the more tired he gets and that's good. When he's weak and almost dragging, his sinkerball is at its best. "The slower I throw it, the more it dips. If you throw it too hard, it gets to the plate too fast," explains Hart- enstein. Another big reason has to be the manager, Leo "The Lip" Durocher. A more subdued Durocher, who's talking less and winning more, has started as many shock waves as the Cubs' sudden penchant for victory. If Leo's methods have changed, his trade- mark has not The name of his game is WIN, and that's what the Cubs have been doing. At long last, the Cubs are reviving a proud heritage which their forerunners launched with a pennant in 1876, the year the National League was formed. For the next 70 years', this team never knew adversity of any length.
