He has done a fine job with the books and has made a Iot of money for the team by going around al- most single handed and selling the ball pools on several of the games the Kings have played. This alone has helped the kitty grow. He has also done most df the advertising for the club and every poster he put up had a bit to do with the increase in crowds. Two Sunday games and the impevement in the ealibre of hall played has also helped im- prove the crowds. Fewer golf scores have been turned in this week than in any of the weeks since we Started putting the scores in the paper. The best score shot this week is Jim Brahman's 38.

Both games were close, excit- ing, high scoring affairs which could have gone either way. Pete Regier was one of the top stars in the Dodgers win over Braves. He connected for one home run, two doubles and a single in four times at bat and scored three runs. Barry Thiel was another important factor in the victory with four singles and two runs. Kevin McKinnon supplied the power for the win- ners with two weIl-hit, line drive home runs. He also scored on a walk in the second inning, his two home runs com- ing in the same inning. Steve Stark also scored three times and had two hits, one for extra bases to round out the major- ity of the Dodgers offensive attack. Paul Flaxbard scored twice for the winners and had three walks. Gerald and Rick Gren- ier rounded out the scoring for the victorious team. The losing club was paced by three runs each scored by Shane McKinnon, R. Decker and David Jantzi. Shane's runs came as the result of two walks and a home run, while David's cane from two walks and a life on an error. Decker singled, walked and score his other run after he reached base when the catcher missed his strike out. In the Astro win, it was Clare Lawrence and Ronnie Desjar- dine setting the pace with two runs each, one of Lawrence's runs being a home run. Doug Coxon, Larry Hess, Garry Truemner, Ron Corri- veau, Luke Jantzi and Ray Finkbeiner scored the other runs for the Astros. Doug Meidinger starred in a losing cause for the Cardinals. He tripled twice and scored three runs. Mozart Gelinas had two singles and scored twice for the losers. with single runs going to Leo Debus, Dave Sie- bert, John Corriveau and Rick Regier. The next games will be play- ed at the Separate school on Thursday.

After losing to the league's top team in the playoffs, they hook- ed up with Zurich in as tough a series of baseball as could be founjd anywhere, and finally, after eight games in what was supposed to be a seven -game series. they were eliminated from play far the season. Bob Hoffman Ield the team in both hitting and fielding de- partments in all the regular and playoff games played. Bill Schade was the runner-up bit- ter and Mike Denomme came second in the fielding race. The team finished the season with a batting average of .202, with the fielding average .785.

Doug Stade shot a 41, which was the next Lot score. The Zurich Kings came up with their easiest victory of the season, Sunday afternoon, 8-2 over Ivy Leafs in the first gazne of the OBA semi-final series. Six Kings slid the scoring with Phil Overholt topping the list with three important runs. Zurich lashed two pitchers for their 10 hits. They added four walks and one hit batter while Ivy chipped in with five errors. Overholt and Stade were the top hitters with two each. Dick Bedard hurled for the Kings and allowed five hits in the nine -inning contest. He was in complete control most of the game and had trouble in just two innings. Once, if three players had caught a ball instead of all three just watch- ing it drop between them, and two of their team-mates had not made errors before that, he would have had a scoreless game until the eighth inning. Zurich shot ahead 3-0 in the second inning when they put together a base on balls and three hits for the runs. Over- holt started the inning by draw- ing a walk. Dick Be d a r d, George Haggitt and Jim Bedard all singled. They all scored except Haggitt who was erased at home on a fielder's choice. A wild pitch and five stolen stolen bases in the inning aided in the production of the runs. Eight men batted in the third inning for Zurich with only two runs being scored. Don O'Brien and Phil Overholt tallied the run. O'Brien hit a long double and Overholt singled. Rick Stade also singled and Jin Be- dard and Haggitt walked. How- ever, the bases were left loaded when McIntosh grounded out. Eight men batted again in the fourth inning for the Kings and again the bases were left loaded and only two runs scored. Johnston and Overholt picked up the two runs. Bob singled and stole second before scoring on Phil's hit.. Phil took second when the centrefielder let the ball pass him and scored while Stade and Dick Bedard were reaching base on errors by the third baseman and the shortstop. Ivy broke through for a run in the fifth inning. Kell start- ed with a hit but was erased when Don O'Brien threw him nut when he tried to steal sec- ond. Banning then reached base on Johnston's error and Shewell was safe on Haggitt's error. Ellis hit a short pop fly to right field that dropped between Haggitt, McIntosh and Jim. Bedard when the fielders all thought the other should take it, and this scored Ban- ning. Zurich got the run back when one of the guys who was par- tially responsible for allowing Ivy's run, McIntosh, reached. base on a bunt single, stole sec- ond, was moved to third by Wagner and scored when John- ston hit a ball to the second sacker, who tried to cut the run off at home plate but was too late with his throw. There was nd more scoring until the eighth inning when Arnold walked, advanced to second on a wild pitch before Ellis moved him to third with his single and then came home when BIack hit a fly to Over- holt which was too hard to han- dle and dropped with an error charged on the play. The next game of the series is Sunday in Ivy, which is about seven miles from Barrie, with the third game, if needed, in Zurich on Labor Day, at 2:30. RITE Zurich __ 032 210 OOx-8 10 4 Ivy ___ _ 000 010 010-2 5 5 Win Series 4-2 Over Doshwood The Zurich Kings came up with two runs in the fifth inn- ing on Thursday night and edged the tough young Dash- wood Tigers, 3.2, and gained the right to enter O B A play - downs. The winners were coasting along 1-0 behind Jim Pfaff's superior pitching until the fifth inning when the Tigers put together a double, single, base on balls and a hit batter for two runs and their only lead in the game. The Kings came up with two singles and a walk to get their two runs for the victory, in the bottom of the inning. The highlight of the game was Pfaff's fine pitching per- formance. He retired seven men on strike -outs and had a no-hitter going until Art Ra- der's two -out single in the fourth inning. Up until that time he had retired eleven men in a row and ended the game with a three hitter. Eugene Guenther was hurling for Dashwood and allowed sev- en hits while recording five strikeouts. The first threat was made by Zurich in the second inn- ing when Haggitt and McIntosh had back-to-back singles with two out, but the scoring threat ended when Guenther fanned the next batter. Rick Stade scored the first run of the game in the third inning. He singled and stole second base. Don O'Brien walk- ed and Phil Overholt singled to score the run. In the fifth inning both Pfaff and Guenther struck out three batters but still allowed two runs to score. Dashwood got their runs when Ken Ra- der, who was a surprisingly sharp hitter in the series, dou- bled home Alphonse Denomme and Gordon Vincent. Ilen- onrme had singled and 't tniient was hit by a pitch. The Kings fought back and a base on balls to Tion O'Brien started the Dashwood downfall. He stole second on a play that Dashwood figured they had him out, then scored on Dick Bedard's single, and again the Dashwood club figured he was out on the play. Bedard went to second on the throw to home and scored when Earl Wegner smashed a single to right field. The Tigers batt e d iii the sixth inning but went out one., two, three and the game was called on account of darkness. Johnson, Stade, Overholt, D. Bedard, Wagner, Haggitt and McIntosh were the Zurich hit- ters while Alphonse Denomme and two of the three .Racier brothers, Ken and Art, picked up the Dashwood hits.
