It was four strikes and out, as the Seaforth Baldwins roared through the semi-finals and took jjhe Towne Hallers four games to nothing. But, in the fourth game, it wasn’t for lack of trying that the Wingham kids bowed out of Junior “B” play, The Baldwins were extended all the way in getting their 4 to 2 edge, and it could have been a Wingham win with a little more luck around the net. Maybe it’s just as wall that the’Towne Hallers didn’t take that fourth game, because fans, human as they are, might have construed it as a give-away by the Seaforth club. But, had Wing­ ham won it, they would have won on their - merits. Last Saturday night, Wingham gave no quarter as they powered themsejves in on Salter in the Seaforth net, wheeled and shot dead-on time and time again, and then skated back to present their best checking game of the series. Only momentary lapses accounted for the two-goal difference, but it must be admitted that the Baldwins were full value for their win, just as Wingham would have been had they copped the game. Many of the Sea forth fans, and they had quite a con­ tingent on hand, were surprised at the spirited display put up by the Town Hallers, and stayed to cheer the gallant band of red-shirts who were counted out before the series started. It seemed to this observer that only against Seaforth did the Wingham club look inept. Maybe it was because of the big build-up re­ ceived by the Baldwins, who statistics to bear it out. And so, the Towne Hallers the end of their first year Junior "B” but it has been successful experiment in reviving the flagging hockey interest in this town. The Baldwins go on to meet the Sarnia Junior Sailors in the “B” group finals, while the Towne Hallers now hit the playoff trail in the OHA Junior “C” division, with soli Reems as their most ponents, in a series that set up this week.

Seaforth scored the only four goals of the first period, before both teams tightened up to score one each in the second frame.
