The disturbance started about seven o'clock, when the fire siren went off, calling the vol- unteer firemen to a practice. Immediately, the residence of the village came running to see where the fire was, only to be disappointed to find it was just a fire drill. Later, two members of the Exeter Provincial Police Depart- ment were called to the village to squelch a fight, started by a group of men who arrived in Zurich to work on the new Co- op building. When three of the group resisted arrest, a scuffle started between one of the men and the police officers. This al- so attracted a large group of spectators. While this fracas was in pro- gress, word came to the police officers that there had been an accident just east of the village. Naturally, the crowd then star- ted moving to the scene of the accident. The three men who caused the commotion were loaded in the police cruiser and taken to the Huron County jail in Goder- ich, where they have been char- ged with creating a disturbance. The two police officers who had their night's work cut out for them were Constables Cecil Gibbons and Don Westover, both of the Exeter Detachment. e They. were assisted later- in the 4 evening by two officers from 2 the Goderich detachment.

Hensall Eliminates Zurich In one of the poorest exhibi- tions of baseball and sportsman- ship seen in many years, the Zurich Lumberkings were elim- inated from further competition in the Huron -Perth Baseball League on Monday night, when the Hensall nine handed them a sound 9-1 trouncing, to take the best -of -five series three games to one. The game was played in Hensall. Previously the Hensall team had won the first two games of the series, before Zurich came back and won the third game. No doubt a bantam or pee- wee team could have given a better showing in the series than the Zurich crew produced. Team spirit and enthusiasm were badly missing throughout the entire series by the mem- bers of the Zurich Club. At one stage of the game, in the fourth inning, when it ap- peared darkness might set in before the five innings were played, the Zurich team was guilty of deliberately putting in time, while the Hensall team was just as guilty of intention- ally making out, to hurry the. game along. However, a severe warning from umpire Frank Burns made the teams settle down and finish the game. As for the actual playing of the game itself, Hensall scored their first two runs in the sec- ond, on two Zurich errors. In a wild third innings, they added their seven runs on six hits, three walks, two errors, and four stolen bases. Zurich scored their lone run in the fourth, when Doug O'Brien led off with a double to deep centre, and then scored later on Larry Bedard's double to deep left field. The only other Zurich hit was in the third inning, when Ron Deichert doubled to deep left. Dennis Mock was top hitter for Hensall, smashing out two hits in four times at bat, both in one inning, Bruce Moir, Steve Kyle, John Baker, Bob Bayn- ham and Ken Parker, each hit man's head. safely once.

Danny Trushinski, Johnny Masse and ,manager Don O'Brien sharedthe mound du- ties for Zurich, while Ken Par- ker went the distance for Hen- sall, giving up only three hits over the six inning tilt.

The game was highlighted by Doug O'Brien's two -run homer over the right -field fence in the fourth inning.
