Dashwood fans are not supporting their team at the g a me s and the small crowds are forcing the players to try and raise money some other way. The umpires were not the sharpest over the week -end, Ir. Dashwood Saturday. they were razzed on a lot of plays. Once with a runner on first and second, one out and an infield fly rule in effect, the Dash- wood runners advanced a base when the ball was not caught, The umpire called the side out end after a big argument he explained that the runners had left their bases too soon and were out. retiring the side While Dashwood was protesting one of the Walkerton players touched one of the runners who -,-'as off his base and the plate ;Empire used this as an escape - hatch. calling the runner out. He said "time was not called". a time had not been called, it hould have been. because the 1,: mires were having a confer- ence near the mound. Dashwood had one double play and a bad call gave them another one. and Walkerton claimed Schade was balking every time he tried to pick off Y. runner. Sunday in Walker- ton, Zurich claimed they were the victims of umpiring. Once he base runner called a balk en Pfaff when a runner was going to second base. The throw was wild and he went e third. Zurich claimed the runner should have to go back to second base because the balk was called. The umpire's had a few words and the plate umpire said there was no balk on the play, he was calling them and not the base umpire. But the next inning on the same kind of play, except the runner only got to second, the base umpire called another balk and this time the plate umpire allowed it. This put the runner in position to scare and he did, on a hit. Pfaff was called out on two strikes and Don O'Brien was hit by a pitch but was not allowed his base because the umpire ruled the ball had just bit a loose fold in the uniform. The ball hit the uniform on the sleeve near the shoulder. The base umpire would not tell the fielders how many outs there were or change their position when asked. The Walkerton players agreed after the game that Zurich was robbed on all the calls except the balks. Howie Young said that Walk- erton is not breaking the law by charging admission on Sun- day. They don't charge you to see a ball game, just for park- ing your car, or parking your seat on the benches. :r. * 1-r.

Some people come in to look at our product—They say, "I don't know much about a Rambler, but my neighbor has one and he sure does like it, so I thought I'd look at them.” They open and shut the doors„ bounce on the seat cushions, fee@ the upholstery, explain at how easy the engine would be to work on„ because you can see where everything is. They close the hood and say it must fit because you don't have tri slam it. When they test drive the car, they comment on the head room and what wonderful visibility you have; also how easy the car steers and handles. The performance is good. Do you really get as good a gas mileage, as they say? They stand back and look at the car and say, "the styling is good and it's a clean-cut looking automobile." They stroke the hood in the gentle manner that a child would its new! kitten, a woman would her favored mink, or a man would his tummy after a thanksgiving dinner. Then they say, "it's got everything I need, but I hate to make a change." AN INDIVI UALIST ? Does the same thing as the person in a rut! The only difference is, he decides whether he wants a 4 -da - sedan, a 2 -door hardtop, station wagon, or a convertible. He realizes that Rambler is made by American Motors, Cansd•z), which in turn makes good cars for Canadians. Make the comparison test on yourself! Are you in a rut or are you an individualist? Then make the comparison test with the Rambler againsii' other makes of cars, and get the surprise of your life. In any event, sooner or later you will own a Rambler, and the. place to buy it .. .
