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.

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.
