Visitor to Bend
Badly Beaten
Grand Bend—A young Detroit l
elan regained consciousness and;
emerged from his blood -spatter• i
ed cabin here Monday almost
two days after a savage beating.
James Arthur Ferries, De-
troit, was admitted to Victoria
H o s p i t a I, London, suffering
from concussion, cuts and
bruises.
Cpl. Robert Fulton, of the
Grand Bend provincial police
detachment, said Mr. Ferris was
apparently beaten up some time
Saturday night.
He was not seen again until
about 1 p.m. Monday when he'
came out of his cabin seeking
aid.
Cpl. Fulton said two young
men are being sought for ques-
tioning. The officer said the
victim was taken to hospital
after being examined by a
Grand Bend doctor and could
not be fully interrogated,
The cabin was left a shambles
of broken furniture and splat-
tered blood.
Zurich Bows Out OF Bali Finals
By virtue of a pair of losses
over the past week -end to the
Wilkesport Starts, the Zurich
Lumberkings faded out of the
OBA playdowns for this season.
The early elimination for the
Zurich nine marks the first
time in at least •ten years that
the team failed to make the
OBA final round in their cate-
gory.
Playing in Dashwood last Sat-
urday afternoon in the first of
the best -of -three series, the
! locals came out on the short end
of a 2-0 score, and then back
in Wilkesport on Sunday after-
noon they suffered an 84 set-
back.
Two Unearned Runs
In Dashwood on Saturday af-
ternoon the Kings were victims
of fate as they had twe un-
earned runs scored against
them, even though they out -hit
the visitors by a 6-5 margin.
For the first six innings man-
ager Don O'Brien, on the Zur-
ich mound, and Jim Burgess,
for the visitors, were hooked up
in a tight pitcher's duel. O'Brien
held the Wilkesport crew down
to two scratch hits in the first
six innings, while his team-
mates managed to belt out only
three safeties in the salve peri-
od. Only one Zurich player
managed to reach second base
in that time, while the visitors
left four stranded.
In the first half of the seventh
Joe Card reached first on an
error to shortstop Bill Schade,
and then stole second. He went
to third on a single and then
decided to steal home. An
overthrow by Phil Overholt to
the catcher allowed the runner
to score with the first run.
, The visitors scored their other
run in the ninth, when Mary
Bastow reached first on an
error, stole second, and then
went to third on a passed ball.
He scored when the next batter
singled.
Zurich's only scoring threat
Mr. Ferris registered at a
hotel here and moved into a
cabin at the rear Friday. He
was last seen prior to Monday
at about 9 p.m. Saturday.
The two men sought were ap-
parently- admitted to the cabin
by Mr. Ferris and did not break
in, police said.

Edith and Charlie Burgess
came in the seventh, when
Doug O'Brien singled and then
stole second. He went to third
on Dick Bedard's ground ball
but died there as Don O'Brien
ended the inning by grounding
out to the pitcher. They rallied
in the ninth to have Earl Wag-
ner and Dick Bedard both get
on base, but neither could score
as the game ended.
Larry Bedard provided the
hitting punch for the locals, lin-
ing out three singles in four
times at bat. Doug •O'Brien,
Phil Overholt and Dick Bedard
each hit safely once. However,
it was the lack of hits when
they needed them that defeated
the local's cause.
Errors also proved costly to
the Zurich crew, as they com-
mitted seven—six in the last
three innings.
While holding the visitors to
their five scratch hits, Don
O'Brien pitched one of the bet-
ter games in his career. He
struck out ten and gave up only

Same Did Story
As in the Saturday game, it
was the lack of hits when they
needed them, that defeated the
Kings 8-4 •on Sunday afternoon,
in the border town. They
banged out 10 safeties, com-
pared to seven for the Wilkes -
port crew, but still managed to
score only four runs.
Wilkesport jumped on pitch-
er Dick Bedard for three quick
runs in the firrst inning, when
wildness bothered the strong
righthander. He walked four
men, even though he gave up
only one hit. The homestead-
ers picked up another run in
the sixth, when Bedard gave up
two singles in a row. They
added their other four in a wild
seventh inning which saw two
singles combined with a walk
and two Zurich errors.
Zurich scored their first run
in the second, when Earl Wag-
ner worked a base on balls and
then went to second on a walk
to Dick Bedard. He scored
when Rick Stade singled over
the second baseman's head.
The other three Zurich runs
came in the fifth, when they
produced their best rally of the
series. Bill Schade and Don
O'Brien both singled, and then
Wagner came through with a
line -shot double that scored two
runs. He later scored on Phil
Overholt's single.
The Zurich crew out -hit
Wilkesport ten to seven, but
seemed unable to produce when
they needed them badly.
Bedard, on the mound for
Zurich, pitched steady ball after
the first, until he ran into
trouble in the sixth and seventh.
He struck out three but gave
up seven bases on balls.
Larry Bedard, Rick Stade and
Don O'Brien led the Zurich hit-
ters with two singles each, while
Bill Schade, Earl Wagner, Dick
Bedard and Phil Overholt each
hit safely once.
