The Kings struck early, jump- ing into a 5 to 0 lead in the bottom of the first with Barry Fryfogle, Pete Snow, Jim Bain, Bill Brown • • and Don Murray crossing the plate. With this commanding lead and some strong defensive plays, pitcher Owen Curtis kept. the Thorndale bats under control for seven innings, giving up only one unearned run in the top of the' fifth. ' Things started to 'happen in the eighth inning. A single and two walks loaded the -bases and the Kings appeared in trouble. How- ever, the Kings came up with some great defensive plays to get a sweating pitcher, Owen Curtis, out of the inning with only one run crossing the "plate. After eight complete innings the Kings held a 5 to 2 lead. But Thorndale's pitcher Armstrong, after a shaky start, had the Kings at his mercy, allowing' them only two singles in innings two to` eight, Jim Baio.'s single in the third and Randy Brenzil's in the sixth. The ninth inning had excite- ment aplenty. With one out, a tiring King pitcher walked Thorndale's third baseman. This called for a pitching change for the Kings and coach Ken Saxton called for his fast, right hander, Bill Brown. But to and behold, the Listowel de The Dings started strong but weakened in the latter innings and cameout on the short end of a 11 to 7 score in a game played in Listowel. The Kings got off on the right foot picking up runs by Bill Brown and Ken Saxton in the first inning to jump into an early lead as they sent eight batters to the plate. Listowel picked up a run in the first and tied the count in the ' second. Listowel went one up in their half of the third and added four runs in a big fifth inning to make a commanding 71to 3 count. Wingham came on strong in the fifth and sixth innings picking up 4 runs to tie things 7 to 7. With eight batters going to the plate they sent Listowel's left-handed BROWNIE'S. pit.vr,„.14.,*CLfNTON -ONTARIO + WED.-THURS.-FRI. � JULY 19-20.21 PauhnEwman•Haiay Fonoa LEE REmicX• mtcHaa, saRRazin S'ometrrnes a Great Notion reamtimuziammi Three fast Runs against one determined man!

However, with strong relief pitching and a big eighth inning Listowel coasted to an 11 to 7 vic- tory. TAGGING THE BAGS -Same old problem, the lack of a big blow spelled defeat for the Kings. Just one good clout in that first inning with one out and bases loaded could have meant victory in this game. Noticed local main- streeter Ross Gibson, not being able to break into the Kings line- up, was patrolling second: for the Listo'vel nine.

It was a big day for Owen Curtis, and although he didn't pick uithe win he was the big factor in the victory. Asked Owen for his COM" ment and he said, "I sure was surprised that Coach Ken gave me the starting assignment, as you know with this Brussolsden• tennial and all, I iwas.hardlywell enough rested. However, I surer would have liked to have gone the distance but my arm was getting sore and when I walked that man in the ninth I told Ken to take me out. Oh yes, and one more thing. I would like to say a big thank you to the large crowd which turned out for this game." Yes this was an exciting game from start to finish with tined pitching rather than good hitting taking the spot -light. It's amazing how many mil- lions spend money on pills -to sleep, and other millions spend money on coffee -to keep awake. local couple takes top place in tournament Beautiful weather helped to make a success of Wingham's annual lawn bowling tournament Sunday afternoon. Twelve entries competed in the tournament which had originally been scheduled for June 25th but had to be postponed.

Angels win in extra innings Without doubt, the game played under the lights at the local diamond last Wednesday night had action galore. The undefeated Walkerton nine put their string of ten victories on the line and after a lot of sweating and an extra inning, edged the local Kings 5 to 4. • The Angels picked up two runs in the top of the second but the Kings got one back in the third when Pete Snow scored as Jim Bain drove a long double down the third base line. • Walkerton made it 4 to 1 pick- ing up one rue in the fourth and one in. the sixth. Then the Kings got to Angel pitcher Joe Berber- ich, Singles by Bill Brown, Wayne Brown and Ken Saxton and doubles by Wayne Millen and Pete Snow gave Wingham three runs to tie the score 4 to 4. Wingham .threatenedn the eighth as Gord Cerson led off with a double and, Rick Kennedy walked. However, 'a sweating Angel pither, Joe Berberich got the Kings out with a couple of big fieldinglays by short stop Jim. Millen. The Angels were determined to keep their undefeated record unblemished and came on in the tenth. With Berberich's single and a walk to Randy Jensen they • set the stage for the winning run as Berberich scored on Jim Millen's long single. The Kings just couldn't get anything going in their half of the inning. With one out, Rick Kenne- dy drew a walk but Berberich on the mound for Walkerton came on strong to get the final two outs by the strike -out route to gain the 5 to 4 victory. TAGGING THE BAGS - Without a doubt, the Angels had to sweat some to get this victory. The pitching was excellent. Kings' Wayne Brown pitched well enough to win as he registered nine strike -outs getting Walker- ton's "Big Bessie" twice by the strike -out route. Ther Kings came up with a big double play in the sixth in true big league fashion. The big star of the game was Walkerton's Jim Millen who made a couple of big plays at short and had two dou- bles and a single, that single driv- ing in the winning run. It was another whb led the Kings at bat as Wayne looked good at the plate with a single and a double. The Kings picked up LISTOWEL ROBERT RYAN 0 .
