The trophy, emblematic of the Consolation champions, was accepted by team captain Barry Gardner and presented by W. C. Perkin of Simcoe. Wingham dropped the first game to Downsview by a 5 to 4 count, which put them into the Consolation round of the tournament. They dumped Fisherville 8 to 2 in their next game and then Woodstock by a 9 to 4 score before edging Al- derwood 4-3 in the Consolation finals. LEAD IN SIXTH Wingham picked up two runs in the first inning against Downsview but the Toronto su- burb came back with two runs in the second and collected another in the fifth to take a 3-2 lead. The locals went ahead again in the sixth on a triple by John McKenzie and a home run by Carl Mowbray. The lead was short-lived as Downsview came back with two in the last inning to edge the Pee Wees 5 to 4.

She had a real knack with comedy, and that takes more than tal- ent; it takes brains, Her first stage success was called "Dia- mond Lil", and she not only starred in it, she also wrote it! It went on to become the hit movie "She Done Him Wrong", starring, of course, Mae West. Our comedians, Johny Wayne and Frank Shuster, paid tribute to Mae West in the last of their 'Affectionate Look' series on last week's "Show of the Week" (and the last show of that ser- ies). They showed scenes from "She Done Him Wrong", in ad- dition to "I'm No Angel", "'Klondike Annie", and "My Little Chickadee". Paramount movie studio in Hollywood was about ready to fold when they introduced Mae West; she skyrocketed the stu- dio to fortune and Mae West to fame, and it was more than talent. It was good planning. Her famous line "Come up and see me sometime" branded her as a sex symbol, but actually, she was good no matter what she attempted. She was beauti- ful, but she was also a fine comedienne, and tried her luck at singing. Her slapstick com- edy, though couldn't hold a torch to W. C. Fields, her co- star in 'Chicadee'. True, she may have had the last word, but his was the performance you remembered. Wayne and Shuster's "Af- fectionate Look" shows are now being shown on CBS in the U.S., a summer replacement series, "Show of The Week" in Canada is being replaced by a U. S. series, " Summer Music Hall" which stars John David- son, and special guests. 0--0--0 Switching from Mae West to another man's "sport", the reg- ular-season Canadian Football League games will soon be be- ginning on the CBC Television network. The games will all be carried live, which means some of the western games will be starting at our beddy-bye time! The opening game will be telecast on August 13th at 8 p.m., and will feature Cal- gary at Haniilton. The following games will be: August 20, Toronto at Ham- ilton, 8 p.m.; August 27, Cal- gary at Edmonton, 11 p. m. ; September 10, Hamilton at Ot- tawa, 2 p.m.; September 17, Ottawa at Vancouver, 11 p.m.; September 24, Saskatchewan at Hamilton, 8 p.m.; October 1, Montreal at Calgary, 11 p.m.; October 8, Winnipeg at Ottawa, 2 p.m.; October 15, Montreal at Toronto, 2 p.m.; October 22, Hamilton at Mont- real, 2 p.m.; October 29, Tor- onto at Hamilton, 2 p.m. It seems almost ridiculous to be giving shows that will ap- pear at the end of October. But before you know it it will be Grey Cup time, and we'll won- der where the summer went! Although all of these games may not be carried on local CBC channels, it is almost cer- tain that the eastern ones will be. 0--0--0 Speaking of entertainment, hich is supposed to be the duty of this column, seems to me I eard of some groups in West- rn Ontario who think that there is entertainment and fun in breaking a piano into tiny lit- tle pieces. Good for a few aughs, I guess they think! Sot- y, friends, but I don't agree. If you must have your kicks, why don't you get your hair cut and see how many buckets it will fill! This 'fad' started with college kids in the U.S.; I had an idea Western Ontario heads were more level and had a bet- ter idea of the value of culture. To the masters who provided us with our greatest music, an in- strument was a gift to be cher- ished and respected, not a toy that you took an axe to, when the mood hit you!

Two Teams Win Games WHITECHURCH--On Friday evening the Neustadt Bantams softball team played White- church on their diamond with a score 16-11 in favor of White- church. The same evening White- church Intermediates, under the supervision of their manag- er, Joe Tiffin, played Clinton Intermediates in that town with a score 23-0 for Whitechurch. Lawn care is important now that the hot weather is here. Horticulturists suggest that the grass should only be cut as low as 11 to 2 inches to prevent scorching under the summer sun, On Thursday night of last week the Wingham Brophy Goodyears defeated Clinton by a score of 10-2 in seven inn- ings. The game was called at the end of the seventh when third baseman Jim Bain noticed what looked like a small fire at the back of Beaver Lumber. In the short time it took to run to a phone at the home of Charlie Lee, the fire had broken into a conflagration. With umpire Wes Simmons and Coach Gord. Welwood leaving as firemen, the game was called. Jim Bain was the top hitter of the night with a double and 2 singles while Ed. Cronin had three singles. Barry Gibson allowed 7 hits to the visitors but kept them scattered to allow just the two runs. R H E Wingham 100 001 0 10 12 0 Clinton 102 321 1 2 7 2 Wingham battery -- Gibson and Foxton.
