Southpaw Dave Betz started on the mound for the Tigers and was batted out with two out in the third inning when Brigden erupted for five runs, Another lefty Jim Guenther took over from Rat and he lasted a full inning giving way to Bill Schade during the Brigden uprising in the fourth.

While the Tigers were unable to score in the in-between innings, the hometown Brigden club scored five runs in the third in- ning and a half dozen more in each of the fourth and seventh frames on the way to a 19.6 victory. The second game of the best-of- three series will be played in Dashwood Friday night at 8.30 with the third game, if necessary also in Dashwood, Sunday night at the same time, 1 Four Dashwood pitchers were Smith wins Ausable golf WOAA BANTAM CHAMPS — The Crediton bantams recently won the Western Ontario Athletic Association "D" title. Over the weekend the club was eliminated from OBA play by Port Lambton, Back, left coach Joe Regier, Perry Preszcator, Matthew Muller, Paul Shapton and Dale Dinney, Front, Ron Smith, Howard Schenk, Larry Clarke and Mike Desjardine. T-A photo Tuesday's weekly men's nite golf tourney at the Ausable course was won by Gerry Smith with the low gross score of 72. Next in line with the best gross scores were Don Gifford and Bob Callingham with indentical cards of 86. Low net honours went to Jim Russell with a 74. In the runnerup spots with 75 and 76, respectively were Pete McFalls and Al McLean. The most honest golfer of the night was Pete Mason. While some baseball teams in the area are still competing in various playdowns, a few in provincial playdowns, the season is over for a lot of others. In intermediate ranks we'd like to pass on congratulations to the Exeter Expos. Fora first year clUb, the Expos turned in some good performances, especially late in the season. Although a little thin in the pitching department the Expos improved as the season progressed and in about five of their last seven games turned in flawless fielding efforts. Minor ball has just started a resurgence here in the last two years and this will certainly help to produce good, young talent for the intermediate team. This year Exeter was represented by pee wee, bantam, midget and juvenile clubs in the Western Ontario Athletic Association, We would expect this minor ball interest to increase in years to come, especially with the trend of more leisure time. This should allow more fathers to spend time in coaching and handling the many ball clubs. In Ontario Baseball Association playoffs, only one district team is still in the running. The Dashwood Tigers are at home Friday night to Brigden in the first round of OBA "D" play and they have their backs to the wall. In the first game of the best-of-three opening round series the Tigers were thumped by a score of 16-5. The 'second game is scheduled for the Dashwood park Friday night at 8.30 with a third game if necessary, also in Dashwood Sunday night at the same time. The only good omen for Dashwood fans out of Sun- day's trip to Brigden was the ability of manager Glenn Webb to win the coin toss and get the third game, if it's necessary at home. In the past five years, Webb has come up with a fantastic record in making the right call when it's time for a flip of the coin. With Sunday's guess he has got the nod on about 14 of the last 15 decisions. Now, all his club has to do is win on the field. A big series Probably the most important hockey series ever played in the world starts Saturday night in Montreal. It's the first of an eight game set between Canada and Russia. Plenty has been said in recent weeks about which team will have the advantage. Lloyd Percival who now operates the Fitness Institute has evaluated the coming series. Former Russian national coach has called Percival, "the world's greatest hockey theoretician." In his overall rating Percival has Canada in front by a score of 2,388-2,383, His survey covered 30 aspects of actual hockey playing and 11 sections covering phsyical conditioning. In the physical department Percival had the Russians well out in front 618-529 while the Canadians were given an edge on the ice. The biggest advantages accredited to the Canadians are in goal tending, ' puck carrying, shooting and individual adaptability. The Russians get the nod in skating ability, passing, skating speed, preparation and emotional pressure. Percival made some personal observations on the series. "I think the chief weakness of the Russian Team will be the inability of their checkers to handle the puck-carrying expertise of our players. Whether or not their fast skating and mobility will compensate for this, allowing them to get back into the play quickly even though ‘deked' remains to be seen." On the Canadian side, he said, "Condition will probably be our weakest point, unless our crash program is successful. Outside of this I think the tendency to make blind passes which is very common in the NHL might cause some trouble," "Data compiled over the past few years in both NHL and international hockey indicates that though the Russians pass the puck about 70 per cent more frequently than do our typical NHL teams. their percentage ofpoor passes is very low." "To take full advantage of their individual skill superiority, the Canadians must keep their poise at all times. In the initial games in particular we must avoid letting our determination to win for Canada make us press too hard." "We have the strength to win if it is not dissipated through intensive but hectic effort." Trying to form refereeing group An attempt will be made in the near future to form a Referee's Association in South Huron. All persons interested in refereeing hockey games in all categories of minor and in- termediate are asked to attend a meeting called for the Hensel] arena, Tuesday night September 5 at eight o'clock.

T-A photo Crediton bantam club eliminated in playclown Although they were eliminated in the first round of play in the Ontario Baseball Association playoff trail over the weekend, the Crediton bantams completed a successful season. The Crediton club lost 11 in Port Lambton Sunday afternoon after dropping a 4 - 2 decision on their home diamond to Port Lambton Saturday in a very well played contest. In addition to the triples by Smith and Clarke the only other Crediton safety was a single by Perry Preszcator. Fall Behind Early Port Lambton scored three times in the first inning Saturday before the Crediton youngsters settled down and that was enough to win the game. Three err ors helped the Crediton downfall as pitcher Larry Clarke allowed only one hit in the first frame. Crediton scored single runs in the second and fourth and Port Lambton added their final run in the third and that was the ball game as far as scoring was concerned. Perry Preszcator doubled and scored on an error to account for the first Crediton marker and Larry Clarke walked and crossed the plate on a single from the bat of Matthew Muller. The only other Crediton hits were singles delivered by Perry Preszcator and Bruce Hodge. Larry Clarke went the full nine inning distance on the mound for Crediton and gave up only four well scattered hits.

Another Close Contest Sunday's game in Port Lamb- ton was also close with the final outcome in doubt until the final out was made. The score was tied 6 - 6 after seven innings of play and only a five run outburst by the home club in the bottom of the eight inning sent the Crediton boys down to defeat. Crediton opened the scoring with four runs in the top of the third and Port Lambton came back with a single mark in the bottom of the same frame. Four base hits and a couple of opposition errors helped the Crediton team gain their early game advantage.Matthew Muller and Mike Desjardine delivered singles while the big blows, both triples came from the bats of Ron Smith and Larry Clarke. The game remained scoreless until the fifth when Crediton scored two more runs to take a 6 - 1 lead. Paul Shapton and Ron Smith drew bases on balls and scored on Mike Desjardine's second single of the afternoon. Port Lambton notched a single run in the fifth and rallied for four runs in the sixth to tie the score and set the stage for their win- ning rally in the eighth. Ron Smith was. the starting pitcher for Crediton and went until Port Lambton rallied in the eighth, Larry Clarke, Saturday's full game pitcher came in to finish up. Matthew Muller collected two hits to share hitting honours for Crediton with Mike Desjardine. OUR GASOLLNE...

The last pitcher to win three World Series games WAS Micky Lolich the Detroit Tigers in 1968. Going back to 1920 there were only three other pitchers in 51 years who equalled Lolich's feat.
