Yes, this Owen Curtis is cooling
right Wong as a big cog- in the
Kingk' line-up as a starting pitch-
er.
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

The Dings started strong but

and cameout on the short end of a

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

With the bottom of the Kings'
line-up due to come to the plate

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

had to be a big victory fur the
Kings. The youth movement,
came through for the victory. 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.

Murray, two wins plus 45; third,
Mr. and Mia. Allan MacKay, two

between the rink of Mr. and Mrs.
Enc Bower of Guelph and George
Fisher and Mrs. Gordon MacKay
with two wins and a plus of 31.
The Bower rink won on a draw.
Unless otherwise stated all the
winners arm local. •

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

doubles by Wayne Millen and

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
