Huron -Perth Baseball Association
Nov Headed By Robert Saddler
Bob Sadler, popular Staffa ball
player and a main cog in the Mit-
chell Ball Club was chosen as the
president of the Huron - Perth
Baseball League at the annual
meeting in Zurich last Wednesday
night. He replaces Leroy O'Brien,
Zurich, who has capably handled
the position for the past three or
four years.
Other officers elected at the
meeting were, first vice-president,
Jim Hayter, Dashwood; second
vice- president, Herb Turkheim,
Zurich; and secretary -treasurer,
John Livermore. Each team will
have a representative to the leag-
ue, as in previous years.
Three teams which were repre-
sented at the meeting, Dashwood,
Mitchell, and Zurich, all indicated
their readiness to field a team for
the coming season. It was the
feeling of the meeting that an all-
out effort should be made to in-
terest several new teams into the
league this year.
Mentioned as possible entries
were Clinton, St. Marys and Luc -
an. These towns will be contacted
before the meeting to draw up a
schedule is held in Mitchell on
Monday, May 4.
Another possiblity which was
discussed was the chance of inter-
esting several northern teams in
playing an interlocking schedule
with the Huron -Perth teams. It
was felt that this would create
new interest in baseball through-
out both areas. Last year one
team from the north, Listowel,
played an interlocking schedule,
and it worked out very well with
all concerned.
The Huron -Perth league will
again be affiliated with the On-
tario Baseball Association.
While little was disclosed at the
meeting as to the strength of the
three returning teams it was re-
vealed that the Mitchell Lincolns
would have the services of Ray
Yelle, former pro and last year
manager of the London Majors.
Dashwood, through the loss of
Remi Wein and other stars, seems
to be the worst off for player tal-
ent. However, according to Joe
Merner, the president of the team,
they will make all the other teams
sit up and take notice before -the
season ends.

LENGTHY TRIP
(Exeter Tunes -Advocate)
A weather balloon which "must
have travelled a heck of a long
way in a short time," was found
Friday by Hank Greene, game
overseer, in the bush near the
fourth concession of Hay, about
a mile north of No. 83 highway.
Information on the instrument
revealed that it was released from
Flint, Mich•, on April 18 and it
was icked up by Greene at 10.30
a.m. the same day. A note on the
box stated the balloon would rise
16 miles before bursting.
Flint is approximately 100 miles
west of here, across Lake Huron.
The instrument box measured
about seven inches wide and 10 in-
ches deep.
FATALLY INJURED
(Goderich Signal Star)
Mr. Alex Miller, 47, of 48 New-
gate street, died at Alexandra Hos-
pital at 11 p.m., Tuesday, approx-
imately one hour after he was
fatally injured in an unexpected
explosion down in the rock salt
mine at the harbor.
An employee of the Cementation
Company, he had been in Gode-
rich for the past two years, coming
here from Pugwash, Nova Scotia.
The explosion occurred at about
10 p.m., from a medium explosive
that had been loaded into the wall
of the mine. The injured man was
brought up' the shaft 15 minutes
later, was at the hospital 15 min-
utes after this and died about half
an hour later. When he was
brought to the emergency ent-
rance, his wife, who is a nurse's
aid, was on duty at the hospital,'
but was unaware at the time of
the identity of the man being br-
ought in.
