Veteran Gordon Stock was on the mound for Clinton and turned in a fine, Seven -hit chore.

DASIIWOOD• 18—COLTS 6 Dashwood Tigers- unmercifully clawed the lowly Clinton Colts on Tuesday night and came out on the, top end of a 18-6 score, Ten errors by the -visitors aided the Dashwood cause. Only one ball hit on the ground was'• fielded without error `by the infield 'as all the players had an off night. Guenther, a, Windsor product,, pitching for,. Dashwood, had little trouble getting his win. He had a six -run margin after the first inning. Clinton had very little to cheer about. Ron Carter made a spec- tacular catch on Stormes in the fifth and had a .perfect night at the plate, Bob Draper made his first appearance in the. lineup and collected a first inning single as well as playing his usual steady game in the outfield. Wilson, Ed- gar and McEwan were the other Clinton batters to hit safely. ` Clinton 000 013 02— 6 •6 10 Dashwood 604 402 2x-1813 2 Bartliff, Stock (7) and Wilson; Guenther and J. Hayter, R.

PETER CUNDY LEAVING ZURICH; GO TO ALVXNSTON Notice has been received by Mr. Peter Cundy, Bank of Montreal staff, of his transfer to the Alvin ston i3ranch, which the people of Zurich and vicinity regret very much to learn, as Mr. Cundy was intensely interested in sports, be- ing not alone a good manager and executive, but he was also an ex- cellent player in baseball and hoc-' key always clean and fair, and liked to see the best team win, Mr. Grant Male is taking the place of Mr. Cundy in the Bank.—Zurich Herald. SPORTS BY "HANK" Locally owned horses had a big day at Kincardine on July 12, All Clinton entries finished m the. money. Betty Jane Brooke paced the fastest mile of the day and her career when she took the sec- ond heat of the 2.21 pace in 2.09 after winning the first half in 2.12 3-5, Nydal Hal, "Punch" Mc. Man's mare made her first start and surprised the bettors by being a two -heat winner. She was clocked in the first heat at 2.14 1-5. Silent Knight, owned by Art Knight finished in the third slot in 'this race;, the 2.30 class, Peter G. Grattan finished third in the second head of the ,2.24 class. In the first heat the Brown and Jacob horse was involved in a three horse collision and came in sixth. Lorne Brown advises us that he and Dick Jacob have traded their great pacer Johnny G to a •§t. Thomas horseman for Riley Poin- ter, a- six year old stallion. • Gcderieh Flyers of the WOAA Fastball League, seem to have hit a winning streak. They have sign- ed Brooker Thomas, a coloured pitcher, who has been tossing them in for Moorefield. Since Thomas' •: arrival the Flyers have won two straight games. A few weeks ago the Goderich entry was about to toss in the sponge and forfeit .their $500 bond- to the league. Charlie Cotton who was supposed to be their pitching ace just didn't get going and pulled out with his battery mate leaving the Lakeshore team in the lurch. He has been suspended from org- anized ball both in Canada and U.S.A. for breaking his contract. Clinton's baseball team, al- though close to the cellar in their league are starting to show signs of life. They were beatenout by one run in games with St. Marys and the league leading. Mitchell Legionaires. They blanked St Marys in a return game. The pasting that they received at the hands of the Dashwood Tigers can be chalked up to a bad night for the entire team as the ten errors indicates, We cannot help but think that before the playoffs roll around this year's team will give an excellent account of themselv- es. Incidentally the Colt's next home game is on Monday night against the RCAF Station Clinton. Some of the familiar faces have, begun to appear in the Colt line- up. In the St. Marys game Laurie Colquhoun was pressed into ser- vice in centre field and came up with a bang-up chore. Bob Drap- er also played well in Dashwood and before long it is expected that Clarence "Sam" Neilans, power - hitter of a few years ago will be on the bench for use as a pinch - hitter. Bob Craig, one of Auburn's con- tributions to the team, has inform- ed manager Hugh Hawkins that he will be able to play. Judging from his appearance, Bob looks as though he could step right in- to the starting lineup.

The teams were very evenly matched with the 'lead changing hands six times before the Wingham nine tied the score in their half of the last inning. Roger Cummings, pitching for Clinton, struck out nine men, issued no walks and al- lowed only five hits. Walker,. twirling for Wingham, fanned six and walked five, Peter Garon and' Roger Cum- mings each had two hits with the latter's first inning double scoring two runs. Ray Garon made the most spectacular play of the game in the seventh inning catching a hard hit ball to deep right field: Carmichael proved to be the big hero for the visitors, It was his hard drive over second in, the seventh that got by 'Pearson in centre field enabling the fleet' Wingham second - baseman' to circle the bases with the tieing run. NaSmith was also a dang- erous man at the plate. Merkeley played the best defensively, mak- ing several good catches in left field.

The Flyers are the county town's entry in the WOAA fastbaIl Ioop. The new coloured pitcher has already pitched the Flyers to two wins this week and was expected to be on the mound when they played the league leading Meaford Knights last night. Goderich has been having a lot of trouble with league officials and opposing clubs since the lea- gue suspended Charlie Cotton who started the season with the‘Flyers. League officials have sanctioned the signing of Thomas, who has already moved to Goderich. Bowling Bits Winners (at thePweekly jltney were Mrs. Sam Castle, Caryl Draper, Mrs. J. M. Elliott 'and Rev.
