The play- er thought he was safe and af- ter he carne off the base paths he called the umpire a few un- called for, dirty names. He was lucky. or maybe smart, that he did the swearing after he was far enough away from the um- pire so as not to be heard, or else he would have been through playing MAA softball far the year.

The player might have been safe on the play, we don't know, but we do know that the um- pire was only doing him, and the rest of the players, a big favour by working the game, and did not deserve to be called what this unsporting player called him, The umpire was not what he was called, and an unsporting player like this As- tro player was, should not be allowed to participate in MAA sports if he is going to burst forth with swearing like he did every time things go against him. If the player involved, and he certainly knows he had no right to say what he did, has a spark of sportsmanship in him, he will apologize to the umpire, even though the official did not hear the names he was called. And next time he should keep his voice down so that the fans do not have to listen to the language he used. Gingerich's staff can't lick the News staff in golf so now they want to try their luck in softball. They have challenged us to a game Tuesday night. With the addition of two mem- bers of the bank staff and a few other players, we hope to be able to field a team strong enough to defeat them in a softball game. Several guys have stated they want to play hockey this year and would like to see a Town League set up. If more inter- est is shown a meeting will probably be called, to see how many players there would be, in a couple of weeks. a * The Kings have hung up their ball spikes for this year. They were eliminated by a sharp - fielding team from Ivy on Sun- day. The Kings could not get enough hits to score any runs and several batting averages went down in the series. Below is a chart with the players' batting and fielding averages, up until the Ivy series, and during the Ivy series.

The only ball still going in the village is the MAA softball finals be- tween the Astros and Braves, and at the present time the Braves are two games up in the best -of -five series. Sunday afternoon the Braves scored five runs in the second inning, to erase a two -run Astro lead, and went on to thump the Astros 16 to 9. Monday night they pounded out 19 hits and took an easy 19-7 victory from the Astros. The Braves were paced by their hard-hitting second base- man, Brian Decker, who hacl two home runs, a double and a single and scored the four times he batted. Doug Stade hit two singles, walked, then homered and scored four runs for the winning team. John McKinley walked his first time up, then hit into two fielder's choices, but still scored three runs in a winning cause. Shane McKin- non walked twice and scored two times for the Braves, The Braves received a run each from Bob Smith, Donnie Oesch and Randy Decker to round out their scoring. Deck- er's run was a homer, while the runs scored by Oesch and Smith came after they had hit singles. Ron Corriveau topped the Astro scoring with four runs. He walked once and the other three times he reached base on errors, one each by the three outfieders. Losing pitcher Doug Coxon singled, walked, reacher first on the third base- man's throwing error, and scored three times. Garry Truemner and shortstop Ron Desjardine scored the other runs for the losing Astros. Astros ___ 202 040 1- 9 16 3 Braves __. _ 054 421 0-16 13 4 Monday evening the Braves had very litle trouble record- ing their 19-7 win. They pound- ed out 19 hits, seven for extra bases, and scored in all but the fifth and sixth innings. The losers managed only five hits off the offerings of Rick Schilbe and were never in con tention. Schilbe and Tim Decker, the Braves pitcher and catcher scored enough runs between them for the victory. They had four each. Schilbe had four hits and reached base once on the right fielder's error, while Decker had three hits, reached base on an error and on a fielder's choice before scoring his runs. Brian Decker, who has been supplying the home run power hit his third and fourth in the series and added a double triple and single in the game while scoring three times Decker has had nine hits in 10 times at bat, seven for extra bases, in this series so far. Doug Stade also scored three runs after walking twice and not have been the worst thing in the world, but the OBA tried to make them change their date for the game long after all the advertising and arrangements were completed. Would the game have turned out any dif ferent if the game had been played Saturday? Maybe not but the crowd would have been a very small one. Some of the Dashwood boys were asking us how Gord Bloch was allowed to umpire the games against them when he was signed with the Zurich team. They never thought any- thing of it or complained about him umpiring, until they real- ized he was signed with Zurich as a player, after the series was over. ek :k ek The Ivy Leafs were a good ball team and a real bunch of sports. After every game they were ready with a handshake as soon as they left the playing field. In Ivy they provided lots of sandwiches and refresh- ments to the ball club without the thought of taking any money for it. It was pleasure to play against a sporting team like that. Louis Willer', made a few more dollars for the ball team Sunday. Ile sold 162 hotdogs from the booth. This, as well as the pool he started selling and the other things he has done for the ball team this year, like putting up posters, looking after their money, pay- ing off bills and selling the pools, have helped •the team a lot. Louie deserves most of the credit for the fine turnabout in the financial position of the Zurich Kings baseball team. belting a home run, John McKinley notched two runs as did Shane McKinnon, and a single run was recorded by Donnie Oesch. Doug Coxon, Ron Corriveau, Clare Lawrence, Garry Truem- ner and Peter Jantzi scored for the losers. Several runners were called out for leaving the base be- fore the ball was across home plate, and on a couple of occa- sions the runners were as far off base as baseball players take leadoffs. What could be the final game of the series will be played to- night at the baseball diamond.

Saturday, after golfing, boating was enjoyed by all and the event was rounded out with a steak barbecue on Saturday evening. Cook and host for the event was Gerry Gingerich, and if he could only play golf as well as he can cook, then Gingerich's staff might have had a chance in the tournament.
