Lose Playoffs to Legionnaires
a
IN THE SPORTLIGHT
By AL FORBERG
Sports Editor
PAWL& OF LVCICNOW
We managed to sneak our tape-recording machine into the Lucknow
salt flats last Thursday night and for the benefit of our reeaders and those
who weren't there we will play back a transcription of what took place. Nam-
es and name-callers must necessarily be fictitioug,
Lucknow Crowd- -"Sparrow in the tree tops, Sparrow in the tree tops."
Hughie Cummings—"We wuz robbed. I protest, Can't afford the 25 bucks
either."
Mike Carmichael—"Quit throwing those pop bottles, they're worth two cents
each."
Vie Loughlean- --"If you don't stop throwing stones give you all a close
shave."
Bob Groves—"Isn't that a son of a gun."
Lucknow fiends (I mean fans)—"Sparrow in the tree tops." (their most or-
iginal remark.)
Johnny Crewson—"Shall I hit a hornerun now, coach?"
Cook (star Lucknow power hitter)—"Please coach, can't I take the bat off
my shoulder this time?"
Hughie Hall—"It's time for me to sneer at the crowd again. If they only knew
what a swell guy I am, Shelley gets all the good publicity."
Lucknow fans---"Sparrow in the tree tops. Why don't you go home to Detroit
Sparrow?"
Shelley Miley--"Boy do I ever get tired of being a good sport, I'd sure like
to be booed for a change."
Ken Saxton—"Gosh, it's cold sitting on this bench, Anyone got a blanket?"
Lorne Gardner--"Just wait until that Hall get's around to third base again,
I'll take the coat right off his back."
Umpire- I'll be lucky to get out of this alive. Wonder if there s a back way
out?"
BOUQUETS TO LUCKNOW
Anything we would have to say about the Merc's loss to Lucknow, last
Thursday would be anticlimatic and it has all been threshed out on the street
turners by now. Lucknow wasn't any better than Wingham, they just got
one break that meant the game. Let's just say they were luckier,
Every fan in the park was sorry to
see Shelley Miley injured so painfully
and it is a tribute to this player that
they feel that way. Miley is the whole
Lucknow team which was certainly
proven when he resumed play and
despite two fractured fingers which
were taped-up, he kept the Legion-
aires in there fighting, Without Miley
the story would have been far dif-
ferent,
Take a lesson in sportsmanship
'Hooey' Hall, That guy behind the
plate has more on the ball, in a dif-
ferent way than you have.
We would like to inquire as to the
handle of the Ltaacnow Sentinel's
sportswriter who besmirched our fair
name in last week's isue. We have a
sneaking suspicion he's also the coach
of the Legionnaires. How else could his stories be so biased? Your supposed
to write news as it happens, old boy not how you wished it happened, Tell
your boss to give you a by-line so we can address our remarks to you per-
sonally.
Quotes from the Sentinel: "Al (Advance-Times) Forherg refers to Hughie
Hall as the "dark horse from Lucknow and points unknown," The Wingham
sports writer is evidently a bit "in the dark" on the subject. If you'd care for
it Al. we could give you Hughie's address and phone number." We'd like to
thank our contemporary for the offer but Hughie just isn't my type, doesn't
appeal to me at all.
Shame on you fellows referring to Bob Groves' middle-age "spread" that
way. Bob hasn't got a spread he's just stylishly stout. This writer over in
Lucknow has been crying all over the place about poor officiating in the 8-2
Wingham victory. Depends upon who wins I guess. Betcha, he thought the
umpires were wonderful in the last two games.
.NICE GESTURE—
Thanks to the Lucknow fans who sign themselves- "The Big Four", and
who so kindly sent a get-well card to the members of the Winghttm ball team.
Really fellows, there's nobody ill here. Hope you nianage to break even. See
you next year!
CURLING STONES—
The first meeting of the Wingham Curling Club was held recently and
the ground work has been laid foil, a busy season. November 1st is the date
set to start making ice. Workmen have been busy working on a new roof
and eavestroughing at the rink. The pipes have been repaired, and the floor
levelled. The committee expects a big season. The date for the big annual
bonspiel has been set for the first week in December. New members are wel-
come and may get in touch with any one of the membership committee
which includes A. D. MacWILLIAM, GERSHON JOHNSTON, WILFRED
WALKER. The boys are ready and raring to go,
IS IT TRUE1—
That JOHNNY CREWSON, 'SHARPY' SELL and GEORGE WESTLAKE
have been offered a chance to play hockey for Goderich this year? It would
be too bad to lose those three players.

DID YOU HEAR THE STORY ABOUT—
Fielding "Hurry-Up" Yost was known as the grand old man of the grid-
iron. He was practically a legend as a coach. Besides being tops as a coach,
"Hurry-Up Yost was a master at dressing-room pep talks. His words often
inspired players to perform away above their normal ability. The most fa-
g mous of his pep talks was made during one game at half time. On this oc-
casion he pulled out all the stops in a fervent plea for victory. The players
sat in the dressing room completely entranced. Yost reached the final grand
climax of his speech.
"Go out that door," he screamed, "go out that door to victory!"
So carried away was he that Yost pointed to the wrong door. His ob-
E edient players, stirred by emotion and blinded by tears of rage, jumped up
as their coach finished, and with an animal roar stampeded furiously out
the door indicated—and into the swimming pool. Some of the players were
almost drowned before they were fished out.
HAVE YOU HEARD THIS ONE1—
The captain of a polo team was dancing with a haughty and statuesque
young woman and not making a very good job of it.
a ! Presently he said, "I'm afraid I'm not dancing well this evening. As a
matter of fact, I'm a little stiff from polo."
And the young woman answered icily, "It's a matter of indifference to
iTi me where you are front."

"No Questions Asked"
Barry Sullivan Arlene Dahl George Murphy
It was a sad night for Wingham
last Wednesday, when the Crossett
Mercurys lost the big one, the hard
way. In a tight ball game, with both
pitchers working smoothly, Hall
scored the winning run in the seven-
th on a passed ball and a bad throw.
Lucknow will now meet Walkerton
in the final,
Shelley Miley demonstrated his
usual brand of courage and sports-
manship, when in the seventh, with
Groves at bat for Wingham, a foul tip
hit the ends of two of his right hand
fingers cutting and smashing them
badly. A doctor was called and al-
though in much pain Shelley resumed
the catching chore and very credit-
ably too, after his fingers were ban-
daged.
Wingham had their big opportunity
in the top half of the seventh, when
with two away and the bases loaded,
Templeman was sent in as pinch hit-
ter for Foster. However, it wasn't in
the cards and he struck out. Jardine,
Soli, Aitchison and Gardner all earned
hits for the hometowners with Doug
Aitchison getting a two bagger.
The huge crowd got a last inning
thrill when with two away Groves
came up to bat and hit a long high
ball to left field but Finlayson pulled
it down for the third out and the end
of the ball game and the series, and
a lot of hopes. A few feet further and
the story would have been different
Hall pitched 13 strike-outs and
Sparrow hurled 10. A tough way to
lose a ball game.
