'KINGS COP TITLE
Playing before one of the largest crowds in several seasons
-the Zurich Lumberkings proved that they had it when the chips
'were down by capturing the sudden -death tilt from a determined
Mitchell crew 11-5. Both pitchers, Bill Gatenby, for the Lin -
coins, and Ron Heller for the 'Kings, pitched hitless ball for
'three innings. Then the roof fell in. Four timely hits, including
one of the longest home runs ever hit at the local park and
four walks were responsible for seven Lumberking runs in the
big fourth inning. Certainly was a fitting ending for a trem-
endous series. as far as looal enthusiasts are concerned.
LAYOFF APT TO HURT LOCALS
The Lumberkings will now meet the winner of the Celedonia-
-Waterdown series which could possibly be finished at the end of
this week. The 'Kings who have strengthened considerably this
past season are ,performing in the Intermediate "C" category this
season due to the lack of competition in the "D" category. Only
two teams in Ontario are listed as "D" clubs this season. In-
cidentally Dashwood is one of them. Two other clubs are still
in the running for the "C" championship, Orono and Latta.
If the 'Kings are able to get by the winner of the Caledonia-
Waterdown series they will .meet the winner of the Orono- Latta
series. This would certainly involve quite a bit of travelling as
Orono is near Peterborough while Latta is in the Belleville dist-
rict. Who says they just play winter ball in the tropics?
BRAVES -YANKEE SERIES AGAIN?
The New York Yankees and the Milwaukee Braves look
like "sure -ins" as World Series contenders for the .American
and National Leagues respectively. Casey Stengel's Yankees
have had a comfortable lead since May while Fred Haney's
Braves have weathered countless injuries to some of their key
players during the early part of the season to take a substantial
lead on the rest of the pack. Rookie pitching sensations, Joey
-Jay, Juan Pizzarro, and Carleton Willey came to Haney's rescue
"when .such veteran hurlers as Bob Buhl, Gene Conley and Bob
Rush faltered. If the hustling Braves continue at their present
rate they will give the Yankees, who have become quite sluggish
• of late, all they can handle in the World Series. According to
"'Old Case", "Bullet" Bob Turley, who has already won 20
games this season, is one of the few bright lights on a pretty
dismal Yankee outfit. However, you can't sell those "have it,
when the chips are clown" Yankees short,
Nevertheless, it should certainly make quite an interesting
.series.

Ron Heller for his excellent pitching in the sudden -death
contest, and throughout the whole series.
'Bob White for his fine relief job when a few walks and

'Hensal.l Bantams Defeated
Coach Ernie Chipchase's Hensall Bantams were finally elim-
inated from further OBA bantam competition when they lost
out to Wyoming in a best two out of three series. The boys
had previously eliminated Atwood, Mildmay and Allenford to
win the WOAA Bantam "D" title. Would have been nice to
see them go all the way.
Tie Wasn't Tight in Clutch
Lyn Lary, ex -big leaguer, tells of the time Eric McNair and
Roger Cramer, then with the A's, came home too late, and with
too much, after a night on the town. But the next day, against
Lary's Yankees, McNair got hits the first three times up. When
McNair went to bat the fourth time, a hit would have won the
game. Alas! Eric popped up. And Cramer wailed: "Look at
the bum; he's sobering up"

very seldom happens.

a standout for the Zurich crew
at third base. He made no less
than five beautiful; plays, any one
of which could have gone through
for a (base hit.
"Red" Theander, who has been
snored to .the Band; of Montreal
in Chatham, was also aback in Zu-
rich uniform for this big game.
He collected a single, and handled
three chances throughout the con-
test.
Fine relief pitching in the eigh-
th inning by Bob White stopped a
leliitcheli threat, after a couple cif
hits and a couple of amental lapse•
on the part of the Zurich defens-
ive organization had given the Lin-
colns a few runs.
Both Heller for Zurich. and Bili
Gatemby on the mound for Mit-
chell, pitched air -tight ball for
the first three innings. Heller al-

The Lincolns scored their first

error and a double. Their big rally
came in the seventh, on .two walks
and three singles. They added one
more in the eighth, on a double
and single.
When Bob White came on in
relief in the eighth inning, he
was only four outs away from
winning the game. The last four
men he retired all went down via DOCTORS
the strikeout route.

mound for the Lincolns and was
relieved in the fourth inning by
Buster Brown. He in turn was
