A. playoffs. The Ban- tams move directly into the 'C' finals, as Mitchell dropped from the scene and the PeeWees opened with a 12-11 win over Mitchell in the first game of the semi- finals. Turning to the older generation, the local Industrial League continues in fine style .as more and more spectators are finding out. The League provides eiteite- tnent and fun for all with all games being played on MOnday nights. The ladies? league, consisting of only two teams, draws the most spectators as these lovely legs fly found the base paths. A quieter game but one just as exciting to those participating has been evident during the warm spell, as the lawn bowling greens continue to remain full. A new event was held in C linton Tuesday night before a good crowd as the Clinton Recreation-Committee sponsored profes- sional wrestling. It was an interesting change for sport fans and provided lots of excitement for those attending and a good opportunity to let off that excess steam. Moving further afield, it's great to see -the Expo Canada's only major league ball team, doing so well.,,Don't be sur- prised if within another two or three sea- sons the Expos bring World Series base- ball to Canada. A note about a colder sport hockey. Local fans may have a good opportunity to • cheer for the new Vancouver Canucks as a • Goderich boy, Gary Doak, was drafted from Boston and hopes tobecome a regular on the new expansion team. Another local boy, Paul Henderson, returns to Toronto's training camp 'for what Paul hopes is 'a more productive year. Firemen, Undefeated . In Industrial Ball The lights over the greens at the Seaforth Lawn Bowling Club are reflected in aathree-inch pool of water which formed during Thursday afternoon's storm. However, by nine o'clock that evening the drainage system beneath the greens had removed the excess water. Friday's good weather helped in restoring them to excellent shape for a mixed tournament on Saturday. (See Bowling on the Greens.)
