Skippin'
O'er Sports
by Angus "Red" McIntosh
Many of the ball fans in the
area have been waiting for the
series between Zurich and
Dashwood. Some people who
failed to see a game in either
town this year have said they
are not going to miss any be-
tween the two villages. Some
are going to put their money
t.r. Dashwood and some on Zur-
it-h. The series was scheduled
to start in Dashwood last night.
Friday's game in Zurich, Sun-
day afternoon in Dashwood and
Wednesday in Zurich.
Ron Merner is certain that
his club will win the series but
the Zurich team think they are
ready to turn in their best ball
t4 the year.
During the season both clubs
won four games and lost eight,
and in the play-offs they were
eliminated three games to one.
During the season they split
their games. Each team won
cne at home and one in the.
.ether clubs ball park. They are
closely balanced and the breaks
could tell the tale.
Dashwood may have a slight
edge because they are a young
hustling ball team and picked
up some valuable pointers in
their tough series with the top
«eam in the Huron -Perth
League, Walkerton. Zurich, an
the other hand, may be lacking
desire, at least they have shown
that the odd time, but they
have several experienced ball
payers who u s u a 11 y come
through when the chips are
down.
Two weeks will tell the tale
in the best four out of seven
series.
Minor Softball
The minor softball has been
moving along with games on
both the public school diamond
end the separate school dia-
mond. The public school out-
field is in no shape for plays as
there are piles of earth lying
around due to the addition that
,s going at the school. It looked
like the season could have been
completed before the construc-
tion began, but work was final-
ly started at the school.
The teams have been finding
their own umpires lately be-
cause the umpire -in -chief, An-
gus McIntosh, has let them
down by not assigning umpires
lc work the games.
We missed some reports of
the games but hope to get back
"on the ball" next week and
have the reports as well as the
league standings.
Skippin' Shorts
Catchers in the Huron -Perth
League have been hit with in-
juries. Jim Bedard, of the local
club, was hurt in the second
last game of the series with
Staffa, and Walkerton's top
catcher. Vern Bette, was side-
lined with torn shoulder liga-
ments . . . We had hoped to
have a story on the progress of
artificial ice for the Zurich
arena this week but we slipped
up. Things have seemed pret-
ty dead as far as reports go
and the canvassing has hit a
standstill, at least to our knowl-
edge, with only a small portion
of the objective reached. The
football season has started so
it will soon be hockey and
skating time. Those who par-
ticipated in the sport can get
an early start with artificial
ice, however, if it is not in-
stalled they will have to wait
for cold weather for natural
ice.
When, or if, there is artificial
ice in the Zurich arena, we
hope that the people around
here will start curling. Curl-
ing is a good mixed sport which
is taking the country by storm.
There has been talk of Zur-
ich returning to intermediate
hockey this season. Last year
the guys from Zurich bad a
team in an area league and won
top honors. With the added
strength of a few more players,
they could come up with a
strong contender in intermedi-
ate hockey.
Exeter Rodeo
The second annual rodeo,
sponsored by the Exeter Saddle
Club, will be held on Saturday
and Sunday, September 4 and
5. Both days' events will start
with a parade at 2 o'clock. The
sum of $1,500 in prize money is
up for grabs this year, in the
calf roping, steer riding, bull-
dogging, bronco riding and
ladies' barrel race. This should
be a popular event as they are
not to common in the area and
excitement is packed into every
event. Entries can be sent to
D. A. Finkbeiner, at Exeter.
MAA Softball
Monday night the Dodgers
thumped the Cardinals 23-3.
Gary Geoffrey and Pete Regier
were top scores with four runs
each. Kevin McKinnon, Carl
Finkbeiner and Carl Zimmer
had three runs each.
In the other game Braves
won 6-5 over Astros.
Golf Scores
The wet weather has slowed
down golfing at the local course
but some good scores were still
ecorded. The top score turned
n was John Robinson's 39.

Dashwood Vets
Beat Young Fry
The Dashwood Tigers' Old-
timers gave the Baby Tigers
a lesson in ball recently when
they defeated •the present club
10-8. Over 400 people turned
out to see the oldtimers, such
as Louis Corriveau, Jim Hayter,
Jake Wein, Bob Hayter, Bob
Storme, Lorne Kleinstiver, Rob-
ert Wein, Jack Geiser, Charlie
Tiernan and others defeat the
younger players.
Bob Storme was a big threat
for the Tigers of old with three
runs, two walks, a hit and
reaching base when hit by a
pitch, perhaps because the
youth knew they could not get
him out.
Bob Hayter was another star
in the victory with three runs
and two base hits. He was
equalled in the run department
by Lorne Kleinstiver, but Lorne
managed two walks and a base
bit to reach base one time
more.
Bill Schade, Gordon Vincent
and Art Rader had two hits for
the Iosers, Vincent and Al-
phonse Denomme had two runs
while Mike Denomme, Schade,
Hoffman and Art Rader notch-
ed the other runs.
The most impressive perform-
ance turned in by any player
was Robert "Eppie" Wein's
brilliant pitching performance.
He scattered what hits he did
allow and took 12 batters on
strikeouts. The young Tigers
were kept off stride by his
pitching and some stated that
he was as good a pitcher as
any in the Huron -Perth League,
today.
frey shot 44s. Doug Coxon and
W. Patterson had 45s. Doug
O'Brien and Doug Stade carne
through with 46s. Firing 47s
were Laurie Colquhoun of Clin-
ton, Ron Corriveau, Liz Schilbe
and Joe Hunt. Shooting even
50s were Bill Miller of Flint,
Michigan, and Ron Corriveau.
Three Clinton golfers were
playing Bayview for the first
time and they had nothing but
praise for the golf course.
Dashwood Averages
Thanks to Larry Weido, the
Statistician of the Dashwood
Tigers, we have a few batting
and fielding average this week.
Bob Hoffman leads the club in
hitting with a .345 average.
Bill Schade is next with his
.303 average. Alphonse Den-
omme follows with a .214 aver-
age, followed by Gordon Vin-
cent at .207.
Mike Denomme has a perfect
fielding average. Next to his
.1000 average is Eugene Guen-
ther at .938. Bob Hoffman is
fielding .915 and Richard Rad-
er is next with his .885 average.
Possible Protest
Talk around the ball Ieague
is that Dashwood will protest
their games with Zurich if Zur-
ich uses Jim Pfaff against them.
The Tigers claim that they are
entitled to Jim because he lives
closer to Dashwood than Zur-
ich. If the Tigers do protest
and Zurich can not use the
Crediton resident, Zurich will
lose a good pitcher.
