Such a man was Wally Wein, of Dashwood,
who die. Tuesday night at the untimely age of 46
d - � g �
after an unfortunate illness.
We first met Wally a few years ago when
Dashwood had a gala day May 24, Their intermed-
iate club, formed with Wally's help and guidance,
would open the season with. Exeter, He stopped me
p p.
one day and talked Hie into bringing back a kids'
team to play the first game after the parade ar-
rived at the park,
This led to our first bantam championship.
Wally donated a personal trophy for teams in Dash-
wood, Zurich, Hertsall: and
Exeter. The trophy was won
by us three years in a row
and became our permanent
possession.
As Wally had been the
groupconvenor o'' the Cy-
clone Hockey League and a
staunch WOAA supporter,
we asked Tory Gregg to ac-
cept his trophy for Bantam
"C" baseball in order to
provide recognition for this
man throughout Western On-
tario.
Wally was not always list-
ed as an officer of the
Dashwood hockey and ball clubs, but those that
were always knew where to turn for support
and advice. Always in the game, never obnoxious
in action, he nonetheless was firm in standing up
for What he thought was fair and just.
Wally was on the executive of the Ontario
Baseball Ass'n as the representative from this.
area. He gave unfailingly of both time and money
for not only Dashwood but all of us in this area
as well,
1 have talked to a lot of fellows and, without
question, they are unanimous in their praise of
Wally's contribution to the good of sport both at
home and in the district at large.
In these last few months, Wally had to battle
an insurmountable opponent but, just as he played
sports, he never gave up right to the end. Wally
will be truly missed in district sports circles. 1
• -know his many friends and neighbors in sport
throughout the area and in. OBA circles will join
with me in expressing sincere sympathy to his
family.

GET TOUGH, COACH
Friday night 1 was chatting with Jerry Foler
of New Hamburg at the Crediton ball park. He re-
vealed he was amazed that our midget ball team,
which for four years had won at least half of their
games with his team, could look so bad when they
suffered their first defeat of the season at New
Hamburg this year.
He Suggested not more than two or three
players were trying. This is very upsetting. No one
will object to a loser if he is giving everything for
the team but when six or seven players are clown-
ing around, then it's time they either took stock of
themselves or quit the game.
If these players lived in a town where there
is no organized ball, they would be moaning about
the people not caring. But here, with all our facili-
ties, they not only let themselves and their team-
mates down, but the whole town as well. Colne on,
guys, let's get with it.

AN iN1"RODUCTiCtJ
1t may be about time to introduce a couple
of new baseball additions lest some fans in the
area think we are importing again. These two new
faces in our infield are Ron Bogart and George
Wright, both high school teachers.
George, although new in an Exeter uniform,
is no stranger to our diamond since he played
against Dick McFalls, Don Wells, Chuck Parsons
and the rest of those champion bantam and midget
teams of the early fifties. He played shortstop for
Auburn teams against us and they won Ontario
"D” honors. Later, he played for, the intermediate
team in the Huron -Perth.
Ron Bogart is a convert to baseball since in
his home community of Shedden they play only
softball. Ron holds down third base for the Mo-
hawks and covers plenty of ground. His only beef
is with his hitting but in his last two games has
had five safeties in six times at bat.

MINORS PAY-OFF
Last Thursday night, with rain in the offing,
tonne Mohawks thought the game was cancelled
and didn't show up, Young Jack Nyh.uis, a bantam,
was at the ball park in uniform, since their game
had been called, sand he was put in the lineup.
