Watch The Dashwood Tigers are in the running for their fourth Ontario Baseball Association Inter- mediate "D" championship in five years. The Tigers and Walsingham Senators are presently tied at a game apiece in the provincial best-of-three final. Dashwood edged the Senators 7 - 5 in Dashwood Friday night in the first game of the series and back in Walsingham Sunday afternoon, the home club came through with a 6 - 5 decision. The third and final game will be played in Dashwood Sunday afternoon at four o'clock. LAWRENCE OF ARABIA WED. SEPT. 20 AT 7 P. M. On Channel 10 Zurich out of playoff See All The New General Motors Products Come Close In Walsingham Sunday af- ternoon the Tigers came close to getting on even terms or going ahead on the scoreboard in the top of the ninth. With the Senators in front 6 - 4, Dashwood scored once in the top of the ninth and had runners on second and third with only one out but were unable to get another runner across the plate. The Tigers were first in the scoring department with three runs in their first trip to the plate and were able to hold a 4 - 3 margin until Walsingham broke out with three markers in the eighth to go ahead. Bob Hoffman opened the game with a walk, moved up on John Hayter's single and both crossed the plate as Bill Schade rapped his third home run in as many games. The Tigers upped their game lead to four runs in the top of the fifth when John Hayter led off with a long home run, The Senators were able to score two runs in the fifth and one in the sixth before their final three run outburst in the eighth.

Sept. 21 at Our Showroom The Zurich midgets bowed out of contention in the semi-final round of the Ontario Baseball Association "E" series over the weekend. The Zurich club travelled to Emeryville Saturday and were trounced 13 - 2, Back on the Zurich diamond Sunday af- ternoon it was much the same story with Emeryville gaining a 15 - 8 victory. Errors cause downfall Five errors in the sixth inning, Sunday, allowed Emeryville to score six runs and carry onto the 15 - 8 win, The Zurich runs came one at a time in five of the first seven innings and the final three markers were scored in the bottom of the eighth frame. Gerald Weido led the Zurich club at the plate with a double and triple to his credit. Close behind with a pair of singles was Danny Schilbe, Chipping in with one hit each were Don Ayotte and Harvey Desjardine, Pat Bedard was the starting pitcher for Zurich with John Mommersteeg taking over during the big Emeryville rally in the sixth. Special Sale Early runs only In Emeryville in the opening game Saturday, the Zurich boys scored their only two runs in the first inning. John Mommersteeg singled and scored on Gerald Weida's long triple. Weido in turn scored on an error. The only other Zurich hits throughout the entice game were singles from the bats of Danny Schilbe and Don Ayotte. The Zurich pitching procedure was reversed with John Mom- mersteeg starting and Pat Bedard coming on later in relief. 3 - 1972 Company Cars 1 - 1972 Olds Delta Royalle, 4-Door Hardtop 1 - 1972 Vega Hatchback Coupe 1 - 1972 Vega Station wagon to third on a double from the bat of John Hay ter but both runners were left stranded, Dashwood manager Glenn Webb used three pitchers in an attempt to wind up the cham- pionship series.

Bestard ran into trouble after the first two batters were retired in the sixth and lefty Dave Ratz, winner of Friday's game finished up. One Big Inning The fifth inning in Friday's opening game of the series produced most of the scoring, Each team scored five times in the fifth and the Tigers came back with two runs in the bottom of the eighth to get the victory, Three Dashwood fielding errors helped Walsingham to move ahead with their five run outburst as starting and winning pitcher Dave Ratz allowed only two base hits. Basically the same thing happened when the Tigers brake loose in the bottom of the same frame with three errors helping the cause. Bob Hoffman started things off with a walk, Bill Schade was safe on an error and Jim Guenther cleared the bases with a long blast that cleared the fence in deep centre field. Bud Desjardine opened the rally with a double, Bob Hoffman walked and Bill Schade was safe on a Walsingham fielding Miscue. Desjardine scored as Schade was safe at first. Jim Guenther then stepped to the plate and cleared the bases with a long blast which easily cleared the center field fence. Jim Hayter, next at the plate was safe on an error as was Gary Hartman and scored on Dave Ratz's single to left field. Both teams remained scoreless through the sixth and seventh innings. After two were out in the ninth, Brian Bestard scored what proved to be the game winner with a solo shot over the outfield fences, Bob Hoffman was safe on an error and scored an insurance run on the strength of consecutive singles from the bats of John Hayter and Bill Schade. Lefty Dave Ratz gave up only five hits to the visiting Walsingham club -and was in Despite the fact, Team Canada finds itself on the short end of the score to date in the series with the Russians, the brand of hockey displayed in the four games has to be the best ever played anywhere. All games of the first half of the series provided exciting end-to-end action for the full sixty minutes, which is missing in a lot of NHL games. A lot of reasons and excuses are being given for the Canadian failure to win more than one game so far. The facts are there the Russians are a complete hockey club in every facet of the game. Probably the biggest Canadian fault was the very optimistic attitude taken by most observers which must have beep reflected in the playing of the team. The most glaring error in our opinion was the report brought home from Russia by two Canadians. They were Toronto Maple Leaf coach John McLellan and chief scout Bob Davidson. We don't know when the two Leaf officials saw the Russians in action but they should be long gone to an eye specialist. The scouting report listed only one Russian, Alexander Yakushev as good enough to play for Team Canada. They could find no particular promise in goal tender Vladislav Tretiak. They were quite confident goal tending in the series would be the big difference. They were right. It has been the difference. But, in a little different way. Tretiak's glove hand has been attracting pucks as if a magnet was enclosed inside and his stand-up style of goal tending has frustrated most of the Canadians. Another Canadian theory that the Russians would be unable to stand up to the hard hitting brand of hockey supposedly dished up by Team Canada quickly went out the window. In order to slow down our ladies' editor in the office next door, we made an offer that if the Soviet club won five games in the overall series we would eat our column with a little catsup added. In order to avoid adding to our ulcer situation, Team Canada needs to win at least two games on the trip to Russia. Regardless of our wager, the Canadians in our opinion will still put up a good showing in the final half of the series against Russia. Everybody talks about the disadvantages of playing in the larger rinks in the Soviet Union, but we can hardly buy all of this. Our Team Canada is made up of our top professional hockey players and as such should be able to switch to any playing condition. The strong Russian skaters and their star Valery Karlmakov in particular will certainly be harder to stop on a larger ice surface. It will really be an interesting series and promised to provide exciting hockey in the four games in the Soviet Union. The Canadian team reaction to the boos in Vancouver Friday night, shows they are really concerned about the outcome of the series. Phil Esposito became the team spokesman and he seems to have the right to speak out. Esposito has been the top Canadian player to date with terrific efforts going both ways. Snell Bros. Limited SOME TIGER POWER — The Dashwood Tigers won the first game of their OBA Intermediate "D" finals at home Friday night by a score of 7-5 and the two fellows shown above provided batting power with the home run ball. Jim Guenther, left homered during the fifth inning rally with two •men on base and Brian Bestard slammed the game winner with the bases empty in the eighth.

We're referring to Fergie Jenkins of Chatham, by far the best Canadian ever to appear on the American baseball scene. Jenkins won his twentieth game of the season Friday for the Chicago Cubs. This is the sixth consecutive year, that Jenkins, the pride of Chatham has won 20 or more games. A Tight Finish While on the big league baseball scene, the pennant race in the eastern division of the American league will probably go right down to the wire before a winner is declared to meet the Oakland A's in the junior circuit final. No less than four teams have a chance at winning and this really complicates the situation, Almost every day two of the clubs are involved in games against each other and this tends to make the race much closer. As far as our favorite Detroit Tigers are concerned, a four game series this week with the Baltimore Orioles is very important.
