Friday night we watched the London Majors play the Cambridge Terriers in the Senior Intercounty and Sunday we were in Dashwood to see the Tigers beat Kincardine 2-0. Granted that the game in Dashwood was one of the best we_ have ever seen, it sure outshone the brand of ball shown in London. , The Tigers thanks to a two run homer by Dave Parsons ousted Kincardine in two straight games and are now in the OBA Senior 'D' semi finals. The Tigers will have to wait at least until early next week before they get back into action. They are schedul- ed to meet Nanticoke or Woodslee in the next round. These two clubs are tied at a game apiece and the third contest will be played Saturday afternoon as lights are not available. • The Dashwood club has been informed that if they defeat their next opposition they sould be ready to travel to Pembroke for the provincial finals -on September 22. Getting back to the Intercounty game, it was very loosely played. Cambridge won 10-9 in 10 innings. It was actually a comedy of errors with a wild pitch on an intentional pass, numerous passed balls and wild pick - offs and other bad throws. In contrast, the- Dashwood -Kincardine game featured excellent fielding and strong pitching. Tiger John Btuijns and Mike Petter of Kincardine battled pitch for pitch with the one long hit by Dave Parsons deciding the issue. Tiger manager Joe Fulop said Petter who has come up through the Kincardine minor system is the best pitcher his dub had faced all year. • John Bruijns pitched equally as well. He struck out nine batters and was helped out of possibly crucial situations by sensation FfTelfiing -- - One of the top defensive plays came on the first Kincardine batter in the ninth when Dave Parsons made a diving catch for a ball that looked like a hit. Earlier in the game first baseman Jim Guenther made a similar spectacular diving catch to rob a Kincar- dine batter of a hit. Sunday's game in Dashwood drew the largest crowd of the season and they were rewarded with a" -great brand of ball. Anyone looking for exciting and interesting enter- tainment for a couple of hours should attend thenext home game of the T igers. Manager Joe Fulo13 has an excellent pitching staff to call on. He has right hander Perry Stover and lefties John Bruijns and Jim Guenther along with reliable relievers in Barry Baynham and Brian Rader. Veteran Bob Hoffman has been more than a capable replacement behind the plate since regular catcher Kevin Bestard was injured at work. The two left handed pitchers have been alternating at first base and the balance of the infield of Dave Par- irsons, John Hayter and Barry.Baynham is solid. The outfield crew consists of Jim Dietrich, Glen Thurman, Rob Dickey, Kevin Hernfand Tom Hayter. Other alternates are Joe Arnold and Doug Fairbairn who also looks after coaching duties at first base. • Tigers beat Kincardine The Dashwood Tigers are gaining momentum in their drive to the Ontario Baseball Association Senior "D" championship. The Tigers eliminated Kincardine in two straight games over the weekend and are now ready to proceed to the provincial semi-finals. In Listowel, Saturday, the Tigers walloped Kincardine 14-3 and back at the Dash- wood diamond Sunday night they edged the visitors 2-0 in one of the best games played locally in many years. The Tigers will meet the winner of a Nanticolse- Woodslee series. They are playing their final game Saturday. The Dashwood club Summer flew Labour Day heralds the end of the summer season and holidays and to most of us it came too soon and we' hear a lot of remarks like, "Where did the summer go?" The main reason the summer seemed to fly so quickly is that most people are very busy and there wasn't a weekend in this area at least when there wasn't a special event going on. - While the time for summer activity sports such as golf, tennis, lawn bowling, etc. is almost past there is the opportunit to go.

Barry Baynham drew a walk and second baseman Dave Parsons cracked a' Petter fastball over the left centre field fence and that was the ball game as fat as scoring was concerned. Parsons was also bne of the fielding heroes for Joe Fulop's Dashwood crew. He made a spectacular diving catch of a line shot by Carey opening the Kincardine ninth going far to his right towards hits from the offerings of Mike Petter, who Dashwood manager Joe Fulop described as "the best pitcher we have faced all year." The other three hits were all singles from the bats of Jim Guenther, Glen Thur- man and John Hayter. In Saturday's opening game, 'the Tiger bats were booming. They attacked two Kincardine pitchers for no less than 20 hits in romping to the 14-3 victory. At the same time right hander Perry Stover had little -trouble in keeping the Kincardine bats subdued. With a lead of 9-1 as early as the fourth inning Stover had little trouble in coasting home.
