MacAdarro 235.2860 on the Dashwood diamond at eight o'clock. A Kinsmen win would put them into the league finals, but a win for the Grand Benders would make the Grand Bend visit to Exeter Tuesday night to play the Legion very important. In play during the past week, Grand Bend downed the Legion 12-8 in Dashwood Thursday and the Kinsmen trounced the Legion 22-3 Tuesday night. A BROTHER COMBINATION Jiin and Bob Russell provided most of the power for the 22.3 Kinsmen win over the Legion, Tuesday night. The Russell brothers combined to slash out eight of the 20 hits picked up by the winning club. The Legion scored once in the first inning and twice in the third and that was the extent of their run making against Kin hurler Don Bell, Bell also helped his own cause with a home run. Jim Russell had a home run, double, two singles and a walk in five trips to the plate while Bob contributed four singles in the same amount of turns at the plate. Jim Hewitt was close behind in the hitting parade, collecting two singles and a triple while Bell also had a pair of two-baggers to go with his home run. COME FROM BEHIND The Grand Bend win over the Legion in Dashwood Thursday was accomplished in a come-from-behind fashion. After three innings of play the Legion were leading 8-0 but, the Bend club bounced back with a steady hitting attack to pull out a 12-8 win. Lorne Vincent was the winning pitcher for Grand Bend while Don Mousseau and Gord Slaght toiled for the Legion.

Grain • Feed • Cement Building Supplies Coal 22.9-4638 The weather at the moment may not be very conducive to even thinking of hockey but most of the district ice teams are making plans for the coming season. A quick meeting of the Exeter Minor Hockey Association was scheduled for Wednesday night in order to have representation at an OHA Junior "C" meeting in New Hamburg tonight, Thursday. A general organization meeting of the JiMHA will be held in the next week or two to make plans for the full minor program this winter. The Exeter Hawks entry in OHA Junior ranks has already been filed. It is quite probable the Hawks will again participate in the "C" class although a good district "D" group seems to be shaping up, The Hawks lose five players from last year's club due to age. Those that will not be back are Scott Burton, Bill Bourne, Pete Lawson, Jim Glavin and Bob Gouring, Three players are still eligible to play for the Hawks will be attending training camps of Junior "A" clubs within the next week or two. Barry Baynham and Tom Hodgins are leaving to-day, Thursday for the camp of the Toronto Marlboros, The Guelph Imperials were in touch with Jim Hayter last week, but since that time the team along with four others that played in the CHA grouping last year were tossed out by the OHA, The Dashwood youngster told us Monday he didn't know any more about the Guelph situation but he also had calls from Goderich and Stratford for Junior "B" play. The "D" grouping just mentioned will include teams from Lambeth, Mitchell, Belmont, Zurich and Lucan. The Lucan entry is a new one and is headed by a very enthusiastic executive. While a president has not been elected as yet, members of the executive are Bill Neil, Keith Kraul, Bernard Benn, Bob Taylor, Robert Anderson, Gord Baker and Steve Davis. While the Lucan junior entry is new the name they are playing under is a familiar one to hockey fans in the district. The club will be known as the Lucan Irish Six. One of the most enthusiastic hockey supporters in Lucan in the past 50 years, Harvey Langford has been named honorary president of the new organization. Davis will be doubling as publicity chief and Jim Freeman, a former goal tender with Lucan intermediate clubs will be handling the managerial duties. Davis told us Monday afternoon that he expected a coach would be named within a few days. In intermediate ranks the Lucan-Ilderton Jets will be making a determined bid for the Ontario Hockey Association championship that eluded them last year in their first try. The Jets held their third practice of the season Tuesday night at the Huron Park arena and have had all of last year's club out along with a few newcomers. Attempts are being made to secure the services of a defenceman of senior "A" calibre. A big help to the Jet cause will be the return to action of Max O'Neill. After a couple years of inactivity on the ice lanes, Max who was one of the top centres in the district should strengthen the club up the middle. Ian Dallas, manager of Lucan's Bank of Montreal is president of the Jet organization with Howard Keayes of Ilderton as vice-president. Don Urbshott will be Cie manager of the club in addition to trying for a defence position. Steve Storey who handled the coaching duties last year isn't sure of the coaching situation for the 1969-70 season. Storey says he would like to get a good man to handle the team from the bench or a couple of good defencemen and then he "might retire prematurely" and stick to coaching. Also in intermediate hockey, the Crediton Tigers, last year's WOAA grand champions are again raring to go and had their first workout at Centralia, Sunday night, The Crediton club should be as strong as ever with the acquisition of a couple of over-age Exeter Hawks. The Tigers will be playing their home games at the Exeter arena this year. Lots Of Candidates Football practices are now well underway at South Huron District High School and both clubs have plenty of candidates for all positions. Ron Bogart who has been handling the coaching chores by himself for the senior Panthers, reigning Huron-Perth Conference champions is getting some welcome help this year. Glenn Mickle who has handled both senior and junior clubs at the local school in the past came out Monday night to help Bogart with the senior linemen. More than 40 seniors are still working out this week. In junior ranks, the population is just as high. Coaches Doug Ellison and Jack Riddell had more than 60 youngsters out to the initial workouts. Bogart told us early this week that he expected the same ten schools as last year would be participating in senior ranks and six would be entered in junior competition. Listowel, St. Marys, Goderich, Huron Central and Stratford Central would be competing in junior ranks along with South Huron. In senior play, the six mentioned above will be joined by Mitchell, Seaforth, Wingham and Stratford Northwestern. Tigers one down in final,. play at hone, Saturday. The Dashwood Tigers notorious for losing playoff games on away from home fields lived up to their reputation in the first game of the Ontario Baseball. Association Intermediate "D" send-finals, Saturday. The Tigers travelled to Ivey and dropped a 9-5 decision to the Ivey Maple Leafs in the opener of a best-of-three series. The second game will be played on the Dashwood diamond Saturday night at eight o'clock. If a third tilt is necessary, it will be played Sunday afternoon at two o'clock, also on the Dashwood field. The winner of this series will meet Mattice for the all-Ontario championship on Thanksgiving weekend. The Mattice club will make the 800-mile trip south for the final for the second consecutive year. HOMERS HURT The home run ball was damaging to the Dashwood cause in Ivey Saturday afternoon. The home team came up with four curcuit blows, two of which came back-to-back during a four run Ivey uprising in the seventh that provided the margin of victory. The Ivey team moved ahead with single runs in the first and second innings and added two more in the third. Dashwood scored their first marker in the third, broke out with a three run outburst in the fourth and added a lone marker in the sixth to take a 5-4 edge on the scoreboard. Singles by Bud Desjardine and Whitey Denomme and a double from the bat of Jim Hayter produced the first Dashwood tally in the third. Hayter was cut down at third trying to stretch his hit into a triple. In the fourth, a pair of walks, an error, a single by Pete Ravelle and doubled delivered by Gord Vincent and John Hayter were Any Persons Interested In Forming an Alcoholics Anonymous GROUP PHONE 235.2784 or 235-2474 "Maybe if we close our eyes and wish, they'll all go away."
