Three Big Games
To Decide
Huron -Perth n cilli Title
The Huron -Perth Intermediate
baseball league reached the end of
the regular schedule. Only six
postponed games have yet to be
played and they will be all over
by next Wednesday. All the teams
will start into the playoffs.
St. Marys have withdrawn from
the league for the remainder of
this season. They had only four
scheduled games left, two with
Exeter and two with Strathroy.
These games were awarded as two
points for each game to the latter
two teams. They do not have any
bearing in the standing 'insofar as
playoffs are concerned.
• Mitchell and Dashwood
The winner of the league
championship and the Supertest
Shield that goes with this honour
will not be decided until after
Monday evening. Mitchell and
Dashwood are presently deadlock-
ed at the top of the heap with
22 points. Each team has two
games left to play, one with Zur-
ich and the other will see the two
rivals locking horns on the Mit-
chell diamond. The latter game
which is to be played on Friday
night should be Huron -Perth base-
ball at its best with both teams
going all out to win the coveted
award.
Exeter Can Move Up
The only other change that can
take place in the league could be
Exeter moving into the third rung.
Strathroy at present has a one -
point edge but that team has com-
pleted the schedule. Exeter have
two games left, a two-point', game
with Clinton Colts and a single -
point contest with Zurich. If
Exeter can win one of these
games they will move up the lad-
der and then have advantage of
having the deciding game of their
playoff with Strathroy on their
home diamond.
The following is the standing of
the teams:
W L T Pts.
*Mitchell 14 4 0 22
*Dashwood 14 3 1 22
Strathroy 8 6 0 16
*Exeter 10 8 0 15
*Zurich 7 9 0 12
Clinton RCAF 5 8 1 11
Clinton Colts 2 10 0 4
St. Marys 113 0 2
* These teams count only one
point for a win when playing -with
each other and two points for a
win when playing all other teams
in the group.

CL/NTON MEWS -RECORD
BY "HANK"
It
was certainly a sight to be-
hold last Saturday afternoon when
the Maltby brothers, Toby Taylor
and Alex Wilson returned to the
baseball wars to represent Clinton
for a day.:: "If" has always been
a small word with a very big
meaning and this case,, is Zo, ex-
ception . , . "If" these fellow's had
not moved away from Clinton, t,his
town would possibly have a first-
rate junior team to be proud of
and "if" a junior entry didn't nave
a group then we feel certain that
this season the Clinton < Colts
would have shown, their , heels to
the rest of the teams in the Huron
Perth Baseball league',
+k *k
At the meeting of the.members
of the Huron -Perth on Tuesday
evening in Exeter local represen-
tatives arranged a best of
five series with Clinton RCAF.
The first game is scheduled to
get underway at 5.30 Wednesday
on the RCAF diamond, With the
report coming from the RCAF
Station tat they '-will ''take the
s
seriewiththe Colts in three
straight games, Manager Hugh
Hawkins will have his team in top
form . Each player will'oe
giving each game his very best
to prove to the boys in blue that
you can't count your thicken, etc:

The Colts have two games to
play before the playoffs start. The
first will be on Friday night in
Zurich and the last on Monday in
Exeter. Bill and Bcb Craig are
expected iso be sharpening their
sights, in these two games. Ron
Carter will be back after missing
the last two games and Bob
Youngblut, Ran and Bill Patterson
should be taking their regular cuts
at the plate.
Clinton Midgets, who finished in
the top spot in their group, are
now biding their time while Exe-
ter and Mitchell decide - winner,
These two teams finished in a tie
for second place and have played
a sudden -death game to decide
who will get the choice of home
games ... The sudden -death game
ended in a 8-8 tie so they have to
do it all over again.

second in a photo finish in the
first heat, came on. to win the

Auburn Juveniles
Receive Trophies
Auburn's twice WOAA and 013A
baseball champions proved to a
large crowd of that town's old
boys that they are worthy champ-
ions, The Tavistock' Greenshirts,
expected to be good opponents,
were just the opposite as the
powerful Auburn squad submerged
them under an eleven -hit, 15 -run
barrage. Meanwhile, Bill McDon-
ald and Ken Patterson who shared
the pitching duties for Auburn
were mowing down their opposing
batters with machine -like regular-
ity. These two stalwarts fanned
15, allowed only four hits and
walked one man. Only one Tavi-
stock player reached third base.
Patterson was just as effective at
the plate as on the mound, belting
a home run, triple and a single.
Jim Howes and Carter each hit
safely twice.
Presentation Made
At the end of the third inning,
in an impressive ceremony, Nelson
Hill, vice-president of the Western
Ontario Athletic Association, made
presentations to the champion Au-
burn team. Bob Youngblut, cap-
tain and stellar first -baseman, re-
ceived the Bruce Dean Memorial
Trophy, emblematic of the WOAA
Juvenile "D" title and the W. J.
Snider Memorial Trophy signifying
the all -Ontario Juvenile ' D"
championship. The latter trophy
was presented for the first time
and is in honour of the late W. J.
Snider who was secretary of the
Ontario Baseball Association for
some 50 years. •

Clara Maltby Pitches
Clare Maltby,- Harriston, for-
merly of Clinton, and a student at
the University of Western On-
tario pitched brilliantly, holding
the power -packed Auburn team to
four hits. He had a little trouble
in the first two innings when the
home team got al] their runs but
settled down and held his opposi-
tion hitless the remainder of the
way. Clare also aided his own
cause by crashing a •long bases -
