Baden had won the first game 6-1, as the BPs stranded 10 runners on base in the first six innings. The failure to get clutch hits in critical situations has plagued the team all year. Pete Snow led the Wingham attack with three hits in that game, ' while Grant Coultes and Jack Stewart each had two safeties. Wingham then kept its hopes of an 'A' championship alive with a thrilling 5-4 victory in New Ham- burg. Ed Deer tossed a four hitter at the strong -batting lineup from Baden and recorded 11 strike- outs. Snow, Bruce Stoll, Deer and Doug Gibb each had two hits, while Bill Brown singled home the winning runin the top of the ninth inning with the score tied 4- 4. All four of Baden's runs were unearned. In the third and deciding game, the BPs took an early lead with three runs in the third inning. Baden tied the game in the fifth and the deadlock lasted until the bottom of the seventh, when Bob Armstrong hit a line drive over the right field fence for a home run. In the top of the ninth, with two out and a man on first base for Baden, Wingham seemed to have the game in hand. However, catastrophe struck in the form of two hits and four Wingham errors. Baden scored seven runs to take the game 10-4 and the series 2-1. The players and executive of the BPs wish to thank the team's many fans for the support they provided this year. Hopefully the BPs will provide more exciting fastball next season. Bowling LADIES' LEAGUE Caroline's Bedpans, already firmly in the lead, added seven more points last week to boost their total to 24.

FROM OCT.15 TO DEC.I7TH ft 0 The Wingham Advance -Times, ctober 12, 1977—.Page 7 Player shortage is threatening program The ice is in, the coaches are ready and the minor hockey as- sociation executive is all geared up to go — except for one thing: players. Registration is down about 35 per cent so far this year and the lack of players is putting, some of the planned programs in jeopar'dy. - There is a real lacks of hockey i!layers, association 'President Ted Ahara said last week, and as a result there may be no PeeWee or Bantam house leag- ues this year. The problem is not peculiar to Wingham; registra- tions are down all over the province, he added, but it is quite severe here. He suggested the• low interest may be partly due to last year's makeshift program, forced on the association by the lack of home ice facilities during the renova- tions to the arena. The program • last year was basically an "all-star" one, Mr. Ahara said, and consequently some boys didn't get to play. This year will be' different he' promised. A house league system will enable everyone who's inter- ested, from ages 5-6 right up to Midget age,• to get in on the action. The only thing threaten- ing the plans is the .player short- age. It's up to the parents and to the boys themselves to change this he said. There is still 'time to get in- volved; boys can find. out prac- tice times from their buddies or from •the recreation office. The $20 registration fee guarantees you a lot of good fun and exercise two evenings a week for the entire season ATOM HOCKEY—Coach Owen Curtis leads a group of nine and 10 year old minor hockey players through a spirited practice session. The ice has been in the arena for a couple of weeks now and the hockey season is starting up. ✓"c Dart league The Branch 1$0 Men's • Dart League got off to a sharp start last Thursday night, with 40 players on 10 teams competing. Three new boards purchased during the summer with funds from last . year were in play for the first time. High single of the night went to Brian Metcalfe, with a 140- Dan Stacey won the $10' door prize: After one week of play,' Leslie's Pride, Dan's Demons and Steve's Studs are tied for first at three points each. Gord's :Go-getters and Brian's Buzzards are dead- locked for second with two points .and Brian's Buliseyes and.Andy's Amateursshare third with one. Elmer's Esquires, Barry's Bad Boys and Lorne's Go -fors are scorele SS. Some changes added to NHL The National Hockey League's 1977-78 regular schedule, re-- leased earlier this month con- tains some changes from other seasons in an effort to avoid con- flict with other major United States sports events. The 720 -game schedule opens October 12, the latest start since 1966-67, when the league had six' teams. That season, the schedule began Oct. 19. And for the first time in memory, there is an open Sunday, other than Christmas or New Year's, when none of the 18 teams play. "We ran into direct competi- tion with the major-league base- ball playoffs in other years' with our earlier starts," said Brian O'Neill, NHL executive vice- president. For that reason, we decided to start this season a week later. Then, to avoid the conflict with the National Foot- ball League's Super Bowl, we have not scheduled a game for Sunday, January 15." Opening night has four games — Vancouver Canucks at New York Rangers; Minnesota North Stars at Montreal Canadiens; St. Louis Blues at Pittsburgh Pen- guins; and Cleveland Barons at Los Angeles Kings. As in previous years, the bulk of the schedule will. be played on weekends. A total 198 games — most ever — will be played Satur- days while 118 contests will be staged Sundays. The most popular weeknight is Wednesday with 153 games. There are 100 Thursday, 77 Fri- day and 25 Monday contests. There are also 24 matinees sche- duled. A highlight of the new season will be the new center -ice rule. It was adopted by the rules com- mittee in August and has been used throughout the exhibition schedule. Under the new rule, a forward pass from inside the blueline and across the center line may be successfully com- pleted by a player who is pre- ceded by the puck across center ice. For the first time in league history, there will be a wild -card system to determine some play- off cempetitors. The top two teams in each of the four divi- sions will qualify for post -season play with the next four teams, in order of highest points, also in- cluded. The 31st Annual NHL All-Star game, is scheduled for Buffalo's Memorial Auditorium Tuesday, January 24, and will have the Prince of Wales Conference All - Stars opposing tlr -Stars of the Clarence Campbell Con- ference.
