Zurich Kings Eliminated
From 0 BA Semi-Finais
The baseball season is all
over for this year as far as the
Zurich Kings are concerned.
They lost their right to advance
into another series of OBA
play when they lost a 3-0 game
to a young team from Ivy, on
Sunday afternoon. The win,
the second straight for the
Leafs, gave them the well earn-
ed series two games to one and
advanced them into the next
OBA round against Walsing-
barn.
Jim Pfaff pitched a great
game for the losers and deserv-
a victoryi however, his t e a m -
mates had silent bats and no
runs were scored to aid t h e
young star in any way. His
teammates also lost a ball in
the sun, committed a costly
erior which set up two unearned
runs, and possibly should have
had a putout on the hit that
turned into the third Ivy run,
as well as a eouple of other hits.
Pfaff allowed eight hits, three
of them could have been put-
outs in any other game, struck
out ten baters, allowed no one
a base on balls and had seven
assists on putouts. He was the
top Zurich player in the game.
Ivy deserved their victory.
Their pitcher didn't look like
he had much stuff, however,
he must have because there
were very few balls hit to the
to the outfield, on a base hit,
Rick Stade reached base on an
error to the left field as George
Haggitt's single over second
were the only balls that left
the infield in fair territory,
Lennox also had four strikeout
and issued only one walk.
The Tvy infielders were as
sharp as they ever will be.
Their fine young shortsop, A.
Ellis, committed one of their
two errors but still had seven
assists and one putout. Arnold
at second base had four put-
outs and seven assists and be-
tween him and the shortstop
prevented the Zurich hitters
from reaching base very often.
The ball game was scoreless
until the fourth inning when
Ivy scored twice. After one our
Arnold singled, G. Ellis ground-
edto third for the second Ivy
out before Wilson reached base
on Haggitt's error. Then Kell
lined a double to left field
which scored the two runs.
G. Ellis, Ivy's fine catcher,
doubled in the sixth inning and
scored after Kell's third hit of
the game and Money's single
for the last run of the game.
For the Leafs, their rigtht
fielder, Kell, was the hitting
star with a double and two sin-
gles. Money, the centre field-
er, singled twice, while the
other hits were made by their
shortstop, A. Ellis; Arnold,
their second baseman, and the
catcher, G. Ellis.
Bob Johnston and George
Haggitt had the clean Zurich
hits while Stade and Wagner
had scratch. singles.
O'Brien and Haggitt managed
to reach second base but that
was as far as they, or any Zur-
ich player, reached through
the nine innings.
$1500.
In other business the council
agreed to investigate the pos-
sibility of paying clerk -treas-
urer Mrs, Elda Wagner for sell-
ing the debenture issue on the
new fire hall. Mrs. Wagner
arranged the sale of all the de-
bentures locally.
