Mitchell wins Dungannon tournament
The Dungannon Agricultural Society held
its 9th annual Slo-pitch tournament on the
weekend, June 13 and 14. This year, it was
played as a true double knock -out for men,
aged 30 years and older, with 10 teams
playing.
Teams taking part were: Carlow, Mitchell
Cardinals, Port Albert Bulldogs, Winthrop
Warriors, Hodges Milling, Monkton
Oldtimers, St. Helen's Farmers, Goderich
Chryslers, Atwood Huskies and
Kingsbridge -Nile.
Four games were played Friday p.m.,
June 13 and play continued throughout
Saturday.
The two teams who played off for the
championship were Hodges Milling and Mit-
chell Cardinals, with the result being a solid
win of 5-0 for Mitchell. However, this meant
one loss for each team during the tourna-
ment, because the Bulldogs had earlier won
6-5 over Mitchell. Being a true double knock-
out, a team must lose twice before it is put
out, so Hodges and Mitchell went at it again.
In the first inning, Mitchell scored three
runs, including a home run hit by Duncan.
Hodges then scored six runs, including two
brought in on a home run by Paul Eedy.
The second inning saw no runs but each
team scored one in the third and Hodges
brought in one more in the fourth. The fifth
was a fast inning with no runs so at the top of
6, the score was 8-4 for Hodges.
The sixth inning turned out to be the turn-
ing point in the game as Mitchell brought in
six runs, three knocked in by Vivian's home
run, bringing their total to 10.
Mitchell was able to hold their lead until
the end of the game when they won 10-8 over
Hodges Milling.
Mitchell Cardinals were presented with
$500.00, a trophy and mugs. $400, a trophy
and mugs were awarded to Hodges Milling.
The most valuable player award went to
Denis LeBrun of the Mitchell Cardinals.
During the last four games, LeBrun hit four
home runs, including two grand slams. He
had other good solid hits and played ex-
tremely well as short stop. The trophy is
donated each year by the Bill Park family of
Dungannon.
The Goderich Chrysler team received
$100. in a draw. Doug Rathwell received a
cash prize from a contest and Carmen
Chilton, RR3 Lucknow, won a lovely picnic
set.
Proceeds from the tournament will go
towards grounds improvement, which is
already underway.
Hodges Milling and the Mitchell Cardinals battled it out in the Dungannon Agricultural
Society slo-pitch tournament held in Dungannon on the weekend. The teams met in the
semi-finals and because it was a true double knockout tournament, they played a second
game to decide the champion. Mitchell defeated Hodges Milling 5 - 0 and held onto a lead
to win 10 - 8 in the final game. [Photo by Paul Hartman]

day. For the week of June 7 to 13, dose to
four inches of rain fell on the area.
While three inches of rain in one hour is
a lot, it is by no means a record rainfall,
said Mr. Greer. On one occasion, he
recorded a 7.5 inch rainfall in a nine hour
span.
Longtime Ripley resident moves to Kincardine
By AB WYLDS
As you may or may not know Mrs. Violet
MacKenzie has moved from Ripley to Kin-
cardine. Yes, Vi is no longer in the big red
house on main street (Huron Street) south
here. She has called it home for the past 40
years. The previous owner was Hugh
Sutherland from the Sixth west. And back
farther still it was Henry Pritchard from the
Second con. east who brought in his bee
hives and had them set up there.
Vi MacKenzie is now living at 322 Lamb -
ton Street just east of the Main street cor-
ner. Around that corner from upstreet one
passes the dental offices of Dr. Ralph Bruce
and Dr. Michael Walden and their staff.
Mrs. MacKenzie relates with satisfied pride
that she was the teacher of Michael Walden
for grades one and two in the Ripley school.
In telephone conversation with Vi last
Saturday afternoon Ab Wylds learned that
she and her husband, the late Roy MacKen-
zie, came to Ripley in the fall of 1923 to live
in the house just east of the new Ripley Post
Office - now the home of Mrs. Ralph Hunter.
Mr. and Mrs. John Wray are the new
owners of the MacKenzie home in Ripley.
John Wray is a member of the Kincardine
Ontario Provincial Police. It was only after
talking to Mrs. MacKenzie that we
understood the wording on the rear licence
plate of their personal car. It read JWRAY -
now we understand that it means John Wray
- every day one can learn.
