Merchants in ascheduled Huron-Perth Intermediate baseball league game in Exeter Sunday afternoon. Pfaff, despite lack of early season training, spotted Staffs a three-run first inning but settled down to scatter 12 hits and strike out 11. The dramatic climax was reached in the top of the ninth inning when young Robert Wolfe, playing his first season of in- termediate ball, pulled down a towering drive off the bat of veteran Line Rohfritsch for the third and final out of the ball game, While Wolfe chased after the ball, Staffa's "Porky" Wallace had scampered all the way around third base from second with what looked to be the game's tying run.

Clinton was no match forlast year's Westernonterio Athletic Association champions, Clinton got only three hits throughput the game and they came from the sixth inning on. Exeter, on the other hand, enjoyed a field day as they scared 24 times despite the fact they only collected 12 hits, Fern Dougall, a newcomer to the club, sparked the offensive show with two home runs and a single. Centrefielder Dolly Mattson drilled a sixth inning round tripper to go with a second inning triple and a fifth inking single. Winning pitcher Helen Ebel, who had a no-hitter up until the sixth, tripled in the fifth and singled in each of the sec- ond and third frames, Mary Gravett, playing the de- fensive position in left field, had two hits in three plate ap- LEADS HITTERS Playing Coach Joe Wooden and shortstop George Wright paced the Mohawks at the plate with two hits apiece. Ron Bogart cracked a double in the sixth inning while Bob Johnston, Lyle Little, Pete Mc- Falls and winning pitcher Jim- my Pfaff collected a single each. Hard-hitting Laverne "Por- ky" Wallace was a thorn in the Exeter side all afternoon. He punched out singles in the first, second and ninth innings to pace the Merchants. George Coveney, Linc Roh- fristch and McKellar helped the Staffa cause with two hits apiece. One of Rolifritsch's was a triple in the eighth, Roger Pauli, Harry Elliott and Galbraith had a single each. O'Brien came on in the sixth.

Joe Berberich went the dis- tance for the winners, striking out 10 and allowing three hits. Phil Overholt tagged one of I3erberich's offerings in the top of the ninth inning for a two- run homer. The ball was hit between the right and centre fielders and rolled beyond reaching distance, Larry Bedard got the other Zurich hit. He tripled in the fourth. Chuck Buehlow paced the winners with two doubles, while Vern Batte added a double and a single for the W alkerton cause.

Although all of the winners came from out of town, both the local club members and guests had a very enjoyable day. A Goderich rink consisting of Earl Allison and Pete Bls- sett carded top honours after all of the results had been hand- ed in, Marvin Mercer and Harold Vodden, Clinton, finished sec- ond. The London Fairmont Club twosome of jaMes Watkins and James Hopper were third plate finishers.

"And par- ticularly with the kids. They came through in great style." George Wright steadied our youth- ful infield, Ricky Boyle caught well 'and Jimmy Pfaff pitched a strong game considering the short pre-season training he's had." Actually the Huron-Perth opener had 'a Hollywood ending 'here on Sunday. It was Robert Wolfe, son of Mr. & Mrs. Harold Wolfe who walked off with the big bouquet of roses. The young lad pulled down a tremendous drive off the bat of Linc Rohfritsch to squelch a do-or-die ninth inning drive by the Merchants. The ball was hit so hard and far that one Staffa runner had left second base and was all the way around third with the winning run when Wolfe caught the ball. It's certainly good to see the younger fry come through with efforts such as this. Too many of the teenagers now-a-days seem to take the easy way of life and do nothing but drive their cars up and down the main drag of Exeter. Well fellas, keep up the good work. Whether you win another game or not this sea- son, you can always boast about trimming last years' O.B.A. Intermediate "C" champs. TIGERS - WORLD SERIES - ONE MILLION YEARS We were going through the T-A files the other day when we came across an interesting, or should we say "full of nonsense" sports col- umn. It was written on June 18, 1959. Although the situation of it all doesn't exist exactly the same today as it did then, many items of in- terest to local ball fans follow the same line. It goes like this: "The Happiest People In The World" —Who do you think are the happiest people in the world? It's a cinch it isn't our credi- tors! They're 'beat just chasing us! No, it isn't the boys in white who swarm all over Briggs Stadium either with their famous "red-hots" call. These guys are happy but they are certainly not floating around on the clouds of silver lining like these professors are. The happy group I'm referring to are closer to home. In fact, some days they are a little too close for comfort! Two in particular, who now operate Kaline's Corner, (better known as Fink's Meat Market) have really been liv- ing since the Bengals took their sudden surge under manager Jimmy Dykes. The pair, "Batch" Wolfe and Harold Holtzmann, now face a problem. They are wondering if they should close up the store in September to take in the World Series in Detroit. How about that for confidence! Brother, don't laugh! We did and look what happened. We thought the Yankees would be so far ahead by now that it would take the rest of the league two years to catch up. But look at them. They've had about as much savvy in the late stages of their ball games as a herd of turtles rounding the final turn at Woodbine! Ross Haugh of Crediton says the Tigers are in! In fact he told us this at the beginning of the season. What a joke that was! (at the time anyway). Now we're staying clear of Ross. Howard Holtzmann of A & H Food Market never passes by our door with- out throwing a Tiger smile. Bert Horton of Hensall made the same prediction as Haugh, and we had another laugh. Man, this was really living! All these guys picking Detroit to win the pennant. Ha! But now look at the standings. As this is written, Detroit is exactly 1142 games out of first place. New York is five. All is not definitely lost yet. Jack Doerr, who practically manages the Cleve- land Indians from his photography studio, has the Tribe in first place, He has "Rocky" Colavito heading his class with an explosive bat that has powered something like 20 round trippers to date. Jack must have given him a real lecture the day he slammed four in a row to get his name in the record books with the select circle, Only eight players have managed four home runs in a game in the entire history of baseball, much less on con- secutive times at bat. Everyone keeps asking. "What's the matter with the Yankees?" There's nothing wrong with these boys yet! They're still the highest paid in baseball, and they have tons of potential, They may still win it, As for the New York rooters, if the present situa- tion keeps up until September, you'll prob- ably be able 'to visit them in the local morgue!" Isn't it funny how much the same situa- tion prevails today, five years later. The Yankees are floundering. But the pin-striped players from the world's largest city are still favored to take it all, (Ed Note)--We have received some inside dope on just when the Tigers will finally make the grade to the world series. And it's from a Very reliable source, He says ONE MILLION YEARS FROM TODAY! CUFF CLEANER—Coach Gordie Strang of the Exeter Kinsmen Midgets has called a prac- tise for this Thtirsday night (tonight) at 7:00 p.m, at the Exeter Community Centre. All boys wish- irig to play midget baseball, this summer are aSked to be on hand for the wokout there isn't enough interest shown on Thursday, the team will be withdrawn from W.O.A,A, competition.
