Eastein States, The Lucan Irish Nine have emerged as champions of the McGillivray fastball league after an exciting closely contested series with Lieury The Irish scored a 5-3 victory in Lieury Sunday night to take the best of seven final series four games to two. After the two clubs split the first four games, Lucan squeezed out a 3-2 decision Thursday night and wrapped the championship up Sunday night. Three of the six games ended in a 3-2 score, with one game ending 2-1 and another 6-3 in addition to the closing contest. Home runs help Home runs helped the Lucan Irish cause in their championship win Sunday night. With lead-off batter Dennis Carty on first as the result of a walk and two out in the first in- ning, third sacker Vern Finlayson socked a long home run to account for the first two Irish scores, Each team scored a single run in the third inning. Bruce Parnall of Lucan was safe on an error again with two out and scored on a single from the bat of Gerry Finkbeiner. The Lieury marker in the third frame came as Bill Woodburn singled and crossed the plate on a similar safety from the bat of Jim Morley. In the Lucan sixth and the score at 3-1 for the Irish, Verne Finlayson reached base on an error and romped home ahead of Doug Johnston as the Irish Biddulph adopts municipal drain The engineer's report on the McCarthyDrain was provisionally adopted at the October meeting of Biddulph Township council and it was decided to advertise for tenders for construction tenders to be presented for the November meeting.

Lieury mounted a slim rally in the bottom of the sixth as Stan Dixon reached third base but was unable to complete the base cycle. In the seventh, three solid Lieury hits scored two runs and brought a change in the Lucan pitching staff. Lieury pitcher Bob Robinson opened the inning with a single, stole second and scored as Earl Allison connected for another single. Woodburn followed with another base hit to score Allison and the score was 5-3. At this point, Lucan coach Ward Ellyatt made a change bringing in Brian Lightfoot to replace starter Doug Johnston. Lightfoot responded in fine style striking out the first two batters he faced and the game was over. Johnston turned in an out- standing performance on the mound. He gave up only three hits in the first six innings and on four occasions retired the Lieury side in order. Bob Robinson tossing for Lieury was equally effective giving up only four hits, but the home run ball proved to be disastrous. The two Lucan hurlers com- bined to pick up eight strikeouts while Robinson struck out seven. Another close finish Thursday's contest in which Lucan won 3-2 provided another exciting finish. With Lucan leading 3-0, Lieury scored twice in the seventh and had another runner in scoring position when the game ended.

In the last Lieury chance, it was pitcher Bob Robinson who again started the rally with a leadoff single. Earl Allison was safe wan error scoring Robinson and he crossed the plate as Paul ilodgins rapped put his second consecutive single. Brian Lightfoot who went the distance on the mound for Lucan settled down and fanned the last batter to preserve the victory. It was another pitchers battle from the word go as Robinson and Lightfoot were in control most of the way. Lieury sent 27 batters to the plate in seven in- ning and 25 Lucan players batted in their six turns at the plate. Biddulph School students received honourable mention. Because of the quality of the work submitted the judges decided to award additional prizes. Helen Appleman was one of the top 12 and received an award of $2.
