Tiger fielding miscue
helps Walkerton win
'rhe first Huron-Perth Base-
ball All-Star game in five years
will be played on the Dashwood
diamond, Sunday afternoon at 2
P.m. The ListowelLegionnaires,
currently in the thick of the
Senior Intercounty battle only a
shade out of first place, will
provide the opposition for the
best of the local intermediate
loop.
Doug O'Brien, playing coach
of the Zurich Lumber Kings and
Howie Young of Walkerton will
be in charge of the H-P aggre-
gation. Each of the five clubs in
the league will be sending four
or five of their top players to
form a good club to oppose Lis-
towel.
The Intercounty representa-
tives are coached by Ken Ben-
jamin, who held the same posi-
tion when theLegionnaires were
members of the Huron-Perth a
few years back. Benjamin, a
native of Chatham has had sev-
eral years of minor pro exper-
ience and will probably see some
action on the mound in the up-
coming contest.
At the moment, only a partial
list of the Huron-Perth All-Stars
are available. Line Rohfritsch,
George Coveney, Laverne "Por-
ky" Wallace, Bill McNaught and
Jim Mitchell will represent the
Mitchell club.
Zurich Lumber Kings will be
sending Don O'Brien, Bruce Hor-
ton, Dick Bedard, Rick Stade and
Phil Overholt.
Appearing from the Dashwood
Tigers will be Bob Hoffman,
Arthur Rader, Gord Vincent and

RE WATER W(5E1
This coming Sunday afternoon at the Dash-
wood ball park it will be All Star time. No, it's not
a replay of the big league game of last week, but
the Huron-Perth All Stars will be in action.
The best performers of the local ball loop
will entertain the Listowel Legionnaires of the Senior
Intercounty circuit. Howie Young of Walkerton and
Doug O'Brien of Zurich will be masterminding the
best in the H-P league. Four or five of the best
players from each of Walkerton, Chesley, Dashwood,
Mitchell and Zurich will line up against Listowel,
who are presently in second place in the Intercounty,
only a game and a half out of the top spot.
The game will get underway, Sunday, July 24
at 2 p.m. at the Dashwood Park and area fans can
be assured of a good afternoon of baseball enjoy-
ment.
At the moment Mitchell is leading the league
with Walkerton and Dashwood battling for second
spot. This year's Mitchell club is made up of a com-
bination of veterans and youngsters. George Cove-
ney, "Porky" Wallace and Line Rohfritsch have add-
ed their experience to go with the newer members
of the club and Hugh McGillivray came out of re-
tirement to play four innings at third base in Zur-
ich over the weekend.
The affable Hughie, who could be called the
"Satbh Paige" of the Huron-Perth was a star per-
former with the Stratford Nationals more years ago
than he would care to remember. The way he han-
dled the hot corner duties in his return to active
play would indicate he could be a valuable asset to
the Perth County outfit.
SAILORS ACTIVE
The members of the Grand Bend Yacht Club
are again enjoying a busy season with regular activi-
ties each Sunday. This year's Commodore, Roy Rob-
inson of the Bend, reports that a variety of race
events are held each Sunday beginning at 10:30 a.m.
Plans are underway for their annual Regatta
that will encompass the complete three-day Civic
Holiday weekend. Numerous entries are expected
from boating enthusiasts throughout Ontario who will
be making the holiday jaunt to the Bend.
This year's membership totals approximately
50 members from Grand Bend, Exeter, Centralia and
London. Mooring facilities of the club are being
taxed each weekend as more sailors are looking for
overnight accommodation. At present the club is
leasing 300 feet of river bank from the village of
Grand Bend to facilitate tying up of member crafts.
A long term plan for development of yachting
facilities in Grand Bend has been drawn up by mem-
bers of the club. The practical proposals include in-
creasing the length of mooring's, improvement of
present moorings, establishing a yacht basin and a
continuance of the river road.
Improvements of present moorings would
necessitate the deepening of the river close to the
bank and providing a wall similar to that already
constructed at the western end of the club moorings.
This would permit reconstruction of the docks so
that boats could be parked nose-in instead of, as at
present alongside, thus increasing the accommoda-
tion by about 50% and permitting the docking of
larger vessels than -at present.
THEY JUST DON'T MIX
Sports and politics usually don't mix too well
and a recent happening seems to point this out. In
the past couple of weeks we have had the Soviet
Union and Poland withdrawing from scheduled men's
and women's track and field events in the United
States in protest of the U.S. war in Viet Nam. A
counter protest was registered by the United States
ambassador to Russia in which it was stated that
Washington did not accept the report that the Rus-
sian athletes themselves decided to cancel out. He
said the Soviet government was responsible for the
action of their athletes.
What happens for the forthcoming 1968 Olym-
pic Games still remains to be seen but East Ger-
many was banned from the 1964 Games and only
the West German delegation was accepted. What will
the International Olympic Committee do about Rus-
sia and Poland backing out on their United States
commitments?
Should both countries be barred from future
International competitions, including the world hock-
ey championships? To our way of thinking, they
should, because their recent behaviour in regard to
the United States track meets has done little to cre-
ate a more friendly spirit between nations. The chief
aim of the Olympic Games and international sports
competitions is supposed to be to build good will and
friendliness among all countries of the world.
FISHING SPOONS
The popularity of red and white fishing spoons
is quite amazing, especially to the angler in quest of
northern pike, in Canada. Exactly when the spoon
for fishing purposes was first invented is not known.
It has been on the commercial market in the United
States since 1848.
In that year, a Vermont angler named Julio
Buel detected the appeal of small pieces of bright
metal to fish, when he accidentally dropped a table-
spoon into the water and a fish made a pass at it.
The result was the rapid disappearance of the Buel
household's stock of spoons and the introduction of
effective "store bought" lures to fishermen. Not only
pike, but trout, bass and various varieties of "pan"
fish seem to succumb regularly to the common metal
spoon, in many colours and shapes. The moral of any
discussion on spoons: use them.

will also be in from Walkerton
and Chesley.
A large percentage of the play-
ers listed above can play at var-
ious positions, which should give
the All-Stars a strong and ver-
satile line-up.
"Porky" Wallace heads this
list, being quite capable of hand-
ling any of the nine positions on
the field. Team-mate George
Coveney is close behind with
experience at every post, except
behind the bat. Zurich's Don
O'Brien, throughout the years
has appeared in most positions
in the line-up.
The pitching chores seem in
capable hands, with Covene y,
Wallace,O'Brien Dick Bedard,
Bob Hofman and Bill Schade
ready to go. The latter suffered
an ankle injury several weeks
ago and may not see too much
action.
A chicken barbecue, sponsored
by the Dashwood I igers will

The youthful Dashwood Tigers
dropped a couple of close contests
in Huron-Perth play over the
past week, both on their home
diamond.
Mitchell Legionaires were the
victors by a 7-4 count on the
Dashwood field Wednesday and
Walkerton came back from a 2-0
deficit in the ninth to score a 6-2
win in ten innings, Sunday.
The Dashwood season record
now stands at 6 wins and five
losses. Mitchell areperched atop
the H-P standings with 9 wins in
13 starts.
LAPSE IN NINTH
A fielding error with two out in
the top of the ninth, allowed two
Walkerton runners to cross the
plate and tie the score in Sunday's
exciting contest.
The Bruce County club rallied
to score four more in the tenth
and register the 6-2 win. A double
by Joe Berberich and singles
from the bats of Bob Condy and
starting pitcher Doug Cassidy
sparked the winning Walkerton
rally.
Eugene Guenther of the Tigers
and Cassidy hooked up in a tight
pitcher's duel, holding both clubs
off the score sheet until the fifth.
Walks to Charlie Tiernan and
Art Rader and Gord Vincent's
second double of the contest pro-
duced the Dashwood markers
in the fifth.
Guenther making his first start
since early in the season, turned
in a strong performance, striking
out six and giving up eight hits,
until relieved by Bob Hoffman in
the fateful tenth.
Despite costly fielding mis-
cues, the home club executed a
smart double play in the fourth

SCORE EARLY
All the scoring was confined to
the first four innings as Mitchell
edged Dashwood 7-4, Wednesday.
The visitors tallied three runs
in each of the second and third
and added a single counter in the
fourth frame.
The home town charges were
able to muster two-run spurts
in the first and third, with the
aid of only one hit. Alf onse
Denomme and Bob Hoffman
crossed the dish in the first,
the former reaching first on an
error and crossing the plate as
the result of three consecutive
stolen bases.
Jim Hayter and Art Rader
closed out the Dashwood scoring
in inning number three.
Bob Hoffman tossed the first
four innings for the Tigers and
rookie Bob Webb finished up in
a relief role. Veteran George
Coveney went the distance on the
mound for Mitchell and allowed
but four hits while striking out
11.

HOW ABOUT THISI
Have you heard about the story of the base-
ball game that was played out in the farmer's field?
It seems that the batter hit a long drive over the left
fielder's head that rolled away from him. Just as
the fielder was about to pick up the ball, a pig came
along and swallowed it. If you were the umpire what
would you call it? How about an "Inside the Pork
Home Run"?
