Doug O'Brien with two singles and a •double, and Rick Stade with two doubles RICH STADE Bat k booming and a single, sparked. the Zur- ich attack. Jim Hayter opened the scor- ing for Dashwood in the first inning when he reached first on an error, went to second •on Ken Rader's single and then scored on .Art Rader's single. Zurich came up with five big runs in the second, when Doug O'Brien led off with a single, followed by Stade's double. Stade scored on two wild pitches and then Overholt worked a base on balls, stole second and went to third on a wild pitch. Bob Johnston walked and went to second on a wild throw, and then both runners scored on Earl Wagner's single. Wagner stole second and then scored when Art Rader booted Don O'Brien's grounder, The Kings picked up their two extra runs in the third inning, Bruce Horton started. the rally with a single, went to second on a wild pitch, and then scored when Doug O'Brien doubled to deep right field.

They threatened again in the fifth when Doug O'Brien singled and Stade doubled, but O'Brien was thrown out going to third on the play. Dashwood picked up a single run in the third inning on three successive singles by Jim Hay- ter, Ken Rader and Bill Schade. Their final run came in the fifth when Bob Hoffman was hit by the pitcher and then scored on Hayter's double. Jim Pfaff went the route for Zurich and pitched another of his outstanding games. He held the Dashwood crew to seven hits, while striking out four and walking only one. Eugene Guenther pitched his fifth game in seven nights for FORE golfers.. By John Robinson A native of Hensall, Dennis Mock received the thrill of a lifetime while golfing at Bay- view last Sunday. Dennis got the first hole -in - one to be scored at the new course, on the 190 -yard ninth hole. The feat was witnessed by a foursome standing on the ninth green, and also by Co- manager Archie Wright, who was out talking to the four- some. Dennis will have his name engraved on the Hole -in -One trophy that was donated early this year by Mousseau & Park- ins, Arrow Petroleum dealers of Zurich. Also Dennis was playing with Campbell clubs and balls 'and this will likely result in a prize from the Campbell company. Since last week, two of the local duffers have been elimin- ated from the men's champion- ship draw. I was the victim of Lylle Mercer, and Harold Stade was defeated by Jim Brohman. The highlights of Lylle's game were his perfect approach shots, which gave him several one -putt greens. On the other hand several of my approaches resembled a sod turning cere- mony more than a golf game. I don't know the particulars of the match between Jim and Harold, but I have always kid- ded Harold about being a lucky golfer and maybe some of his luck left him. Anyway there is a match being arranged for future residents of Blue Water Rest Home, and Harold and I have decided this would be about our speed. Lylle Mercer will meet either Jim Brohman or Rick Stade in the final match and we wish all players good luck.

When Mrs. John Corbett, wife of the reeve of Hay Township, happened to run into Mrs. Fergus Turnbull, it marked the first time in many years that the two have visited each other. This was the case with many of the visitors, who might have lived in the area at one time ,or another and re- turned hone for the big event. Many new ideas for next year's festival have already been :brought forward, and the committee .in charge feel they will be able to come up with a much bigger and better Bean Festival in the year of Canada's Centennial. Meetings will be held every month throughout the fall and winter season to further discuss plans and make arrangements to handle the expected crowd of over 5000, which is predicted for next year. Just as the maple syrup fes- tival has -made Elmira famous, so is the possibility of the bean festival making Zurich and area well known throughout the country. aploppisimpiiiippooploppipploimpliiipoP BAYVIEW GOLF COURSE (1 Mlle South of St, Joseph).
