The ball appeared to drop in foul territory but the plate umpire ruled it 'fair'. He stated that, in the ground rules, any ball which went around a light standard, whi'ch is on the playing surface in left field, and wasn't caught is a fair ball. Kirk ended up on third base and Jim McKinnon batted him home with a single. Port Elgin left the bases loaded in the inning. Mullens scored the first run of the game in the fifth inning after he singled to lead off. He was moved to second on a bunt and scored on a liner to centrefield by Jim McKinnon. Wayne Coultes spoiled Mullens' no-hitter in the top of the sixth when he beat out an infield grounder for a single. Wingham only had two other runners on base. One on a walk and one on an error. Kirk's disputed triple was the only extra base blow of the game. Jim McKinnon and Bryan Craw- ford had two hits each for Port Elgin. Bob McKinnon and Mul- lens had a single each.

One um- pire was late for the game and took over after the game had started. He wasn't familiar with the ground rules and made some poor calls. The. three local players that were ejected happened to be the three that were picked for the all- star game. Tom Robinson had a good game at the plate with a homer and three singles. Wayne Brown had a triple, double and two singles. Gerry Edwards chipped in with three doubles while Case - more had three singles. Frank Heard was at his swing- ing best with a homer and single, Bauer and Wellwood had two singles each with Bob Foxton, Bruce Foxton and Bruce Machan getting a single apiece. The local team had to play without a full team from the seventh inning on but still made their presence felt. The next home game for Wing - ham will be tonight (Thursday) at 9 p.m, at Town Park. If you want to see some old time rivalry like the St. Agatha days, come on out and watch some of the best ball you will see in a long time. Bluevale wins juvenile girls championship BELGRAVE — Bluevale juvenile girls won the Tri -County Juvenile Girls' 'Softball League championship with a 23-15 win over Belgrave Monday night. They won the bestof4even final, 4-2. Friddy night in Bluevale the winners scored a 21-20 victory. Karen Coultes and Kitty Hart- lieb were the big hitters for Bel - grave on Monday' with home runs. Karen had three homers in and -home series which involved a lot of travelling. By having all the tearris meet in one place it speeds up the championship and finishes before school starts. The PeeWees have been picked as a test case for three years. If it works well, all teams which progress to OBA play downs will follow the same pro- gram. The only drawback to this is, it is harder for the smaller centres. They don't .have the pitching staff as in the larger places. The Brophy club is hoping to come home with a trophy Mon- day night. However, even if they made it to the semi-finals they will have accomplished some- thing no other Wingham club has done recently. At the Movies Nearly four years after that piece of tape was found on the door of the Democratic national headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington, D.C., prompting the gruelling investi- gation that uncovered one of the greatest political scandals in U.S: history, the entire machin- ery behind it has been superbly chronicled in the film, "All the President's Men". Based on the best-selling book by Carl Bern- stein and Bob W'bodward, the two Washington Post reporters who persisted in their investigation which finally led to the White House, "All the President's Men" is a suspenseful detective story as well as a behind -the -scenes newspaper drama. What starts off as a routine as- signment for Woodward, . shifts into higher gear as he intensifies his snooping, and opens up a hor- net's nest of suspicious circum. stances and top political names that just won't connect to the ap- Bluevale on Friday and Patsy parent case at hand.
