SURPRISE, ON RETURN
There's nothing more pleas-
ant than getting back to your
own home after a holiday. Un-
less, of course, you've been
spending a month in a posh re-
sort, and your own home is that
unpainted two -room shack be-
hind the town dump.
This week, we were looking
forward to it more than ever.
It had been hotter than Hades,
and our house, surrounded by
oaks and maples, is always cool,
It had been a long drive, and
we were tired. And while we
were away, with the co-opera-
tion of our friendly banker
we'd had the trim painted.
When we pulled off the high-
way and headed down our own
street, we were practically pur-
ring with anticipation. A long,
cold drink under the oaks. A
leisurely inspection of the paint
job. A quiet evening of idiot
box or reading. LuverIy.
Ae we drew up to the house,
my wife squealed with delight.
It looked splendid, with the
shutters and trim whiter than
white against the rosy brick and
deep -green ivy. i agreed but
couldn't help noticing that the
grass was shin -high, and that
an oak branch, thicker than a
man's head and 30 feet long,
had been blown down and
straddled the fence, or what
was left of it.
However, after three hours of
dodging suicidal maniacs on .the
highway, all I wanted to do was
fall into a chair and nuzzle a
cold one.
As soon as I opened the door,
nay wife shrilled, "Bill, there's
a terrible smell in here."

The playoffs for the men's
championship have been com-
pleted, and Jim Brohman is to
be congratulated on being Bay -
view's first men's champion,
Now that the playoffs have
been completed we can prepare
for two important dates coming
up at Bayview. The first is the
invitation tournament to be
held on Saturday afternoon
"Nonesense!" My standard
reply. For one thing, my wife
has a nose like a bloodhound.
This faculty is allied with a
vivid imagination. She fre-
quently smells smells that I
swear are non-existent. She has
even said my column stinks, on
occasion. Imagine!
But this time, "Dad she's
right," Kim backed her up.
"Yich. It's horrible. And look
at the flies, everywhere, Yich!"
"All right, all right," I sighed.
(as only a father and husband
I can sigh. "Don't get excited,
It's probably just dampness
from the cellar, because the
house has been closed."
The old lady was distracted
for a moment by the pile of
mail inside the front door. She
pawed through it, looking for a
letter from her first-born. She
found it. As I staggered up-
stairs with the suitcases, she
shouted excerpts from the let-
ter, interspersed with comments
on the horrible smelt.
I came down and headed for
the refrigerator. Wiped my
forehead, licked my lips and
opened the door. Even with my
three per cent, I was knocked
flat on my back on the floor.
I hadn't smelled anything like
it since the fields of Norman-
dy, 1944. Pure putrefaction.
Two inches of blood on the
bottom of the fridge. Streamers
of what looked like coagulated
intestines hanging from the
shelves. I opened the freezing
compartment.
Six steaks, bought when they
were on special at 89 cent . A
five -pound roast, A two -pound
bag of chicken livers. Hamburg,
pork chops, frozen vegetables
and orange juice from burst
cans. All clinging together in
a soggy. stinking corpse.
I'd prefer to draw a veil over
the next few hours of domestic
discord, But I'll give just the
skeleton. Half an hour of bawl-
ing and mutual recriminations
disclosed that we were both to
blame. She had decided to de-
frost the fridge the day we left,
ten days before. I had insisted
we didn't have time. Finally.
she agreed. But she turned off
the freezing unit and forgot to
turn it on again, in the confu-
sion of getting ready to go.
A trip to the town dump with
two garbage cans and 400 flies.
Two hours of scrubbing the
thing out with soda, vinegar
and good salt tears. Net result,
zero. All doors and windows
open all night but it was still
ike sleeping in a slaughter-
ouse.
Call next day to friendly in-
surance agent. No dice. We
weren't covered for stupidity.
isit to friendly appliance deal -
r whose eyes lit up even as
is head waged dolefully. You'll
ever get rid of the smell."
ealer related various horror
tories from past experience.
Net loss: fridge, $300; food,
50, Plus our planned trip to
he coast.
Oh, well. We couldn't afford
hat trip anyway. But we'd
robably have gone. Now, we
eally can't afford it So look
t the money we saved, Or
mething.
September 17. This is an 18-
hole fixture with prizes for all,
a smorgasbord dinner and re-
freshments. This will be an
enjoyable day, so members and
guests, get your entries in, we
need more golfers to make the
day a success.

ladies and men's champions
will be presented at this event.

Zurichn 12Inning
.Deciding Game Saturday
Afternearly blowing an 10.2
lead, the Zurich Lumberkings
came back with a single run in
the 12th inning to squeeze out
an 11-10 marathon victory over
Wilkesport, in the second game
of the best -of -three playoff
series. The third and deckling
game will be played this Sat-
urday afternoon in Wilkesport,
at 4 p.m.
The free -scoring contest was
played in the Dashwood ball
park on Monday afternoon.
Originally scheduled for Sun-
day afternoon in Zurich, the
game had to be postponed e
day because of rain. On Mon-
day the Zurich diamond was
still too wet from. the heavy
downpours the night before, so
the location was switched to
Dashwood.
Two grand -slam home runs
featured the win for Zurich,
with Doug O'Brien and Earl
Wagner both coming through
with the big blows with the
bases loaded. Wagner also
scored the winning run, in the
last of the 12th, when he
scampered home from third
base on a wild pitch. There
were two men out at the time.
Zurich opened the scoring in
the first inning when they
drove six runs across the plate.
Four of the six were accounted
for by the long drive of Doug
O'Brien, over the right -field
fence, The other two came on
successive singles by Robert Mc-
Naughton, Rick Stade and Jim.
Pfaff.
The visitors scored one run
in their half of the first, on
two singles and a sacrifice, and
then added another marker in
the second on two singles and
a stolen base.
Zurich scored four more runs
in the third, when Wagner
lifted a long drive over the
same right -field f en c e as
O'Brien. McNaughton, Stade
and Overholt were on base at
the time.
Wilkesport came back with
two runs in the fifth, and then
added four more in the sixth.
They tied the game in the
seventh, when they scored their
final two runs.
Both teams had several
chances to score again before
the big 12th inning, but they
failed to capitalize on their op-
portunities. Zurich m i s s e d
their best chance in the 10th,
When Dick Bedard worked his
way around to third after lining
out a single. With only one
man out, Bedard was caught off
third and the rally died right
there,
The run that eventually end-
ed .the game cane in the last
half of the 12th, after two men
were out, Wagner reached
first on a single, and then ad-
vanced to third on Don O'Brien's
drive to left field, When Jim
Burgess let go a wild pitch,
Wagner made no mistake in
hurrying home with the win-
ning run.
Jim Pfaff started on the
mound for Zurich and worked
well until the sixth inning, when
his arm gave out on hint. Don
O'Brien came on in relief and
worked until the score was tied
10-10 in the seventh. With a
runner on first and nobody out,
Dick Bedard took over mound
duties for the Zurich nine, and
pitched a brilliant game from
there one. He held the heavy -
hitting visitors to three scratch
singles throughout the last six
innings. Pfaff had given up
eight hits in the innings he
worked, while O'Brien allowed
the other five hits.
It was the same story for
Wilkesport. Toni S h e p h a r d
started on the mound for the
visitors and was lifted in the
first inning after Zurich scored
six runs. Jim Burgess came on
in relief and had only one bad
inning, the third, when Zurich
scored their four runs. Shep-
hard gave up four hits in the
first, and Burgess allowed eight
more in the rest of the game.
