(Staff Photo) Hensall Ball Team Beat Out .A good big team will beat a good little team most of the time. This is what has happened in the case between Walsingham; Senators and Hensall in the struggle for the Ontario Base- ball. Association Intermediate "D" championship. The Senators, a power -laden machine with plenty of depth on the bench and veterans with the overall ability to go with age and experience, pretty well sums up why Walsingham have been crowned the 1961 provin- cial. champions. The Senators wrapped up the intermendiate "D" title Sunday afternoon before their home crowd wth a convincing 9-2 vic- tory. The win gave Walsingham the best -of -five series in three straight games. The ability to win the "big ones" with the pressure on is always a "highlight" and champ- ionship team. And this is what the Senators did.! In the first game of the ser- ies, the newly crowned champs displayed that little "extra" that's needed when they copped a 4-3, 12 -inning decision. In 'a , very crucial contest in Hensall, as far as the local club was con- cerned, the Senators did it again by bouncing back from a 4-0 rleVeit to take the second game e.A. ft'r two heart breaking losses for Hensall, the third game seemed just a formality. Walsingham, rich with play- ers who have the versitality to play more than one position, ex- ploded an 11 -hit attack to win their seventh straight game of the season and the third in a row in this series. Althought Hensall booted eight plays, the Senators hit the ball hard all afternoon. Made Good Showing Despite the fact that Hensall bowed out of contention in three games the locals made a commendable showing for their home town. Most of the team was made up of juvenile - aged players who lacked the ex- perience in intermediate ball to go right to the top at such an early age. With a sprinkling of intermediate calibre of players on the team, the club did very well to go as far as it did. With out any bench strength, provincial championships are just not won. Pace Hensall Steve Kyle wrapped singles in the first and seventh innings to lead Hensall at the plate. Dennis Mock, Bill Shaddick, Bruce Horton, Gerald Bell, fore getting assistance Steve Kyle in the sixth. Score In First Hensall took a 1-0 lead in the first inning but from there on in, it was all a Walsingham show. Bill Shaddick started things off when he reached first on a throwing error by catcher Gord Gates after fielding a bunt down the third base side. Steve Kyle, who batted in both Hensall runs, singled Shaddick home on his first hit of the game. The Senators came b a c k strong in the second and third with four runs, two in each in- ning. Start'ng pitcher Bill Barry cracked a two -run double down the right field line to score Jack Boughner and Frank Erdelac, who had each singled 'to start the inning. In the third, Joe Erdelac and George Gates singled and even- tually scored on a sacrifice fly and two Hensall errors. Hit With Authority �' v^.* air e or Despite overcast skies and a heavy downpour of rain just as Hay Telephone System Rated Among the parade got under way, the Zurich Fall Fair on Monday liv- Best In Ontario According To Report With the release this month of the statistical report of the Ontario Telephone Service Com- mission, it was revealed that there are now 270 independent Telephone Systems operating in the province; the township of Hay Municipal Telephone Sy- stem being the 15th largest. Only 27 of these systems op- erate over 1,000 telephones. The local company is approaching 1,500 phones in service. Of these 270 independent co- mpanies, there are 66 who oper- from ate as Municipal Companies, as does the Hay System. The Hay System is the fourth largest of these municipal companies. It is interesting to note that in 1912 when the local system was organized, there was about one phone for every seventeen persons in Canada. In 1960 there was a phone in service for every three persons living in Canada. Ontario leads with the largest number of telephones per pop- ulation, followed by British Co- lumbia, Manitoba, and Alberta.
