In a see-saw battle, Staffa took a 3-0 lead in the early innings and held on until the Lumber Kings broke loose with a five-run rally in the bottom of the third. The visitors added two in the fourth and a single run in the top of the sixth to again go out in front 6-5.

Football club scores wins Then get a reconditioned Weekly reports have been made in this column on the progress of the Huron-Perth base- ball loop, some rather discouraging. Although the first game is yet to be played, due mainly to weather conditions, action will get under way this week. Another meeting was held in Mitchell Fri- day and a new schedule was drafted to the end of June, Goderich juveniles have been added to the existing entries from Exeter, Zurich and Staffa to round out a four-team league. From all re- ports this team of youngiters under 19 years of age from the Lakeshore town will make a good showing in intermediate company. After July 1 an interlocking schedule will be set up to include a pair of WOAA teams from Walkerton and Durham. All games with the clubs from the north will be played on weekends to make the longer jaunts possible. Bob Sadler of Staffa and John Livermore of Clinton have been working hard in an attempt to keep the league on its feet and this latest move is encouraging. With interest in minor ball in the area on the upswing, two or three years hence the H-P could regain its prominence of several years ago when as many as eight teams were in the fold. Two former powers in the loop, Dashwood and Lucan, are back with teams in minor classifi- cations and should shortly have the potential to return to intermediate play. LUCAN LAD TO OLYMPICS? The next hockey season may seem to be a long way off, but one Canadian is busy in prep- aration. Rev. David Bauer of the famous Kitchener hockey family and former coach at St. Michael's College in Toronto will be in charge of the 1964 Olympic team. He has been spending the past few months searching the country from the Atlantic to the Pacific in quest of the best available talent. The bulk of the squad will be made up of university students with the training base at the University of British Columbia, A rink is being built at the western school and ice is expected to be ready by July 1. Having watched a team of eastern univer- sity all-stars knock off the Trail Smoke Eaters earlier in the year in Toronto, previous to the '63. world championships, we feel Father Bauer's plan has plenty of merit, He will have plenty of time to round up the best available Canadian-born students and mould a good club before next winter rolls around, Of interest to local fans is the news that a Lucan minor graduate, Paul Conlin is given a good chance of making this national club. Paul was a stand-out this past year with the Neil Mc- Neil entry of the Metro junior A loop. Bauer is a sound hockey coach and has been known to put the emphasis on checking. This has appeared to be one of the weaknesses of Canadian clubs in the past, especially in the last tourney when the Canuck forwards were unable to control their European opposition along the wings. Lion-Kinsmen clash en s in dead heat An entry from Centralia RCAF is competing in the eight, team Huron Football Associa- tion, The team from the station called the "Internationals" have won two of their three scheduled games to date and are undefeated in exhibition play. Their second win in league competition was on their home field Tuesday, June 8, over Goderich Conklin Lumber by a decisive 5-0 count. The air force club, under the direction of Coach James Brown dominated play throughout the contest, almost continually kee- ping the ball in the Goderich end of the field. Gbadamosi was the leading scorer for the Internationals with a pair of goals and singles were picked up by Aleydino, Horn and Ato. Four of Cen- tralia's five markers were counted in the last half against a strong wind. Used Car HATCHERY OPERATES FISHING AREA A former provincial fish hatchery at Mount Pleasant was operated as a public fishing area for the first time during the summer of 1962. Although somewhat experimental in na- ture, the project was nevertheless quite success- ful with a total of 14,432 visiting the area in quest of fish. This year, the Department of Lands and Forests opened the Mount Pleasant site to the public on Saturday, May 11. Fishing is permitted, free of charge, from 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on weekdays and from 9:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on weekends. The area will be closed to the public on Tuesdays and Fridays to enable the staff to re- plenish the stocks of fish and to complete neces- sary maintenance chores. This fishing area is located in the south- west corner of Mount Pleasant village on High- way 48, approximately four miles south of Brant- ford. The seven ponds, approximately one acre in size, are stocked with various species of warm water fish including perch, channel catfish, bull- heads and rock bass. 1962 Chevy II 4 DOOR SEDAN Windshield washers, Back-up lights. Centralia RCAF Flyers drop- ped a pair of Memorial softball games on successive nights. In Wingharn Monday, the home-town Goodyears downed the Centralia squad 7-3. On their home diamond Tues- day, the Flyers were slaughte- red by Woodstock Pearson Fuels 24-1. In the loss to Wingham, Al Wiper and Don Bell shared the pitching duties. The four hits off the offerings of winner High McMillan were nabbed by Whitey Illingsworth with two and Yves Garand and Monty Montomura, one each. Manager Jerry O'Toole em- ployed four mound men in an unsuccessful attempt to stop the Woodstock batting attack. Montomura, Don Bell, Gerd Slaght and Wiper were used in the eight inning contest.

McKen- zie fanned 7 of the 10 men he faced in the remainder of the game. Don Bell went the distance on the mound for the Flyers holding the furniture men well in check after the first two innings. The big blow for Stratford was a first inning three run homer by catcher Doug Har- mer. Yves Garand and playing ma- nager Jerry O'Toole slammed triples for Centralia to keep their team in the running right to the end. Garand also col- lected a pair of singles while O'Toole notched a one-base blow to add to his three-bagger. Singled by Lew Marsh and Al Wiper completed the Centralia hit total. Both lead-off batters, Marsh for Centralia and Ray Hutchin- son did a lot of scampering around the bases. Hutchinson plated four of Kroehler's seven runs, and Marsh accounted for three of the visitors five. Bell, although giving up ten hits, displayed fine control wal- king one batter through the nine inning contest, while fan- ning two.

Bill Gilfillan was close be- hind in the home run derby, with two in addition to a double. The other four bagger for the winners was swatted by short- stop Murray Bell. The "vets" were alsopound- ing the long ball. Jim Pinder, Don Wells and Bill Mercer tagged winning hurler Jack Ful- ler for base clearing blows. The Lanes plated six runs in the top of the first inning to jump into an early lead and after the Legion came within one of tying in the sixth broke loose for five in the seventh to salt the game away. Centre fielder Simon Nagel and pitcher Fuller each con- tributed a single, double and triple to the winning team's 17-hit total. Fuller, in going the seven inning route on the mound, struck out four, while Legion playing coach Doug Brintnell fanned three during his hill performance.

However, this was the case at the Hensall Park Saturday night as the Zurich Lions andliensall Kinsmen met head-on in a soft- ball game, donkey version. After a furious battle, the game ended in a 3-3 deadlock, according to the official scorer. The owner of the donkeys, Bud Smith of Stouffville ordered a donkey race to decide a win- ner. Six members of each club lined up at home plate and raced to their waiting donkeys in cen- tre field ready for the dash home. Some of the competitors Were unable to reach the finish line for various reasons. Seve- ral from each side completed the course, but the judges were unable to untangle the riders in a neck-and-neck finish.

More than 300 persons were in attendance and had plenty of chances to laugh as the donkeys pretty well controlled the game.

Zurich Lion runs were scored by Hubert Schilbe, Pete Dietz and Herb Turkheim. Hens all Kinsmen able to reach the plate were Harold Knight, John Baker and Bob Caldwell.

SELDON FUELS WIER MAJOR LEAGUE SIDELIGHTS Is there any significance in a number? A few big leaguers don't seem to think so because they prefer uniform number 18. Baltimore Oriole Steve Barber, Dick Far- rell of the Houston Colts and Minnesota Twin Bill Tuttle are this year wearing the supposedly super- stitious numeral on their back. The St, Louis Cards were the only club in either league to open the season without a num- ber 7 or 11 on their roster.

Most baseball fans have the idea that left- handed pitchers are wilder and issue more walks than their right-handed brethren. Statistics prove that this is not the case. In fact, the records for the 1962 season show that the lefties also held 'an advantage in strike-ants. The southpaws had an average nine in- fling strikeout record of 512 compared to 5,35 for the boys that hurl from the right side. The right-hariderS averaged .,45 free passes per game end' the leftys 3,g6. Occasionally throughout the year we hear reporta of libel suits being brought on in the sports world.
