Playoffs are here Tigers open set with win In the bottom of the same frame, Dashwood again knotted the count as Hoffman and Hayter collected their second hits of the afternoon and the former crossed the pan on Art Rader's double to left, his second of the game. F lye Tigers completed the base cycle in the sixth to put them well out in front. The Rader's, Ken and Richard, bashed back to back singles and came racing around on 13111 Sohade's two- bagger. Bob Hoffman walked, Jim llayter was hit with a pitch to load the sacks and all three came In as Gord Vincent's long fly to left was dropped. The final Zurich scoring retort came in the top of the eighth, Bob MacNaughton reached the base paths as the result of a Dashwood throwing error and completed the circuit on Morton's second double of the day, — — Ontario Hydro paid more than $6.5 million to federal and pro- vincial governments in 1965 for the use of water from rivers to generate power at its hydro-elec- tric plants. Dashwood Tigers drew first blood in their Huron-Perth ellin I- nation series with Zurich Lumber Kings to decide a winner to ad- vance into 013A "D" playdowns, with an $-4 victory on the Dash- wood diamond, Sunday. The second game of the four- of-seven set was scheduled for Zurich last night, Wednesday In Huron-Perth league cham- pionship play, Mitchell Legion- naires edged Zurich 7-5, Sunday on the Kings' diamond to take their semi-final set and advance into the finals against Walkerton. The first game goes tonight in Mitchell with the second in Walk- erton, Sunday afternoon. GUENTHER KAYOS KINGS Dashwood'$ strong right band- er, Eugene Guenther, was the key factor in his club's victory in the first game of the playdowns. He sent 16 Zurich batters down by the strike out route and allowed but three hits over the full nine inn- ing route. The Kings broke out in front with a run in the first and the score see-sawed back and forth on fairly even terms until the sixth when the home club came up with five big tallies to salt the verdict away. Bob Johnston, Zurich's lead- off hitter, toured the bases after singling, in the first, moving up on Don O'Brien's infield roller and coming in on consecutive walks to Earl Wagner and Robert MacNaughton. The Tigers were quick to re- taliate in their half of the first with the first four batters touch- ing Zurich hurler Jim Pfaff for singles that produced two runs. Bill Schade, Bob Hoffman, Jim Hayter and Art Rader were the successful Dashwood batsmen. Zurich fought back to tie the count at 2-2 in the fourth as Bruce Horton doubled and came around to score on a passed ball and they went out in front in the next inning as Don O'Brien walk- ed, stole second and scored on a passed ball. Ladies envoy play with guests The four ladies in the foreground receive their prizes from Joey Fairly, left, after members of the Exeter and St. Marys Ladies' golf clubs met in friendly competition at the Exeter Course, Tuesday. From the left, the winners are: Jacki Davis, St. Marys, low gross; Betty Barker, St. Marys, hidden hole; Helen Burton, Exeter, low putt and Lois Snell, Exeter, hidden hole. Clustered in the background are the remainder of the competitors from both clubs. T-A photo Greys face elimination on two straight losses spoiled her bid for a no-hit performance. Fern Dougall reaching first on an error in the seventh was the only other Grey performer to pass the initial sack. The winners scored three times in the first frame and add- ed nine in the fifth to preserve the victory. down by the strike-out route and walked four in the seven inning contest. Close to 30 kids ride in horse trial SAD SIXTH In Saturday's tilt in Hensall, the Greys scored three times in the third and held a 3-1 lead until the Golds busted out with a half dozen tallies to sink the Ex- eter ship. Walks to Darlene Snell and Audrey Pooley and singles from the bats of Pitcher Patti Robin- son and Jan Bennett produced the only Grey markers of the game. Mary Lou Hyde scored the first Hensall run in the fourth, singling and moving up on June Chuter's free ticket to first and came home on Joyce Ferguson's safety. A triple by Muriel Ferguson was the big blow in the Golds' game-winning rally in the sixth. Eleanor Shiels and Marion Mc- Nutt added singles to aid the cause. Golds' chucker June Chuter was in complete control, with the exception of the third when the Greys scored all their runs. She sent seven Exeter batters The Exeter Greys find them- selves with their backs against the wall after the first half of the Huron Ladies' softball round- robin competition. Hensall Golds erupted for six runs in the bottom of the sixth to sink the Greys 7-3 in Hensall, Saturday, and Brucefield slaught- ered them 12-0 under the lights in Exeter, Monday. With one game remaining a- gainst each of the other clubs, Brucefield have assured them- selves of a spot in the final. Tuesday's scheduled game be- tween Hensall and Exeter was postponed and will probably be played later in the week. The Greys meet Brucefield in Hen- sail tonight, Thursday, and Brucefield will be at Hensall, Saturday, to complete the round- robin play. The two top teams will meet in the southern group final. If at the end of this preliminary round, a tie exists for any of the positions, the number of runs scored will be used to decide which club continues. GRAHAM TAMES GREYS Betty Graham, handling the Brucefield mound chores in the easy 12-0 win in Exeter, Mon- day, came within two batters of tossing a perfect game.

The spotlight was on the young- sters at the monthly horse show held at the farm of Ron Swartz, Sunday afternoon. The show spon- sored by Swartz, Jack Parsons and Lloyd Mousseau drew a rec- ord number of 29 entries for the junior division. Due to the many competitors, Judge Pat Abray of Sarnia was forced to split up the junior equitation division. Tim Armes repeated his per- formance of a month ago in tak- ing top honours in junior events and Jim Paisley, riding Lady Luck, was the best in the senior division. Following are the complete results: Junior Ponies, Wayne Presz- cator, Tim Armes, Doug Ecker, Gail Ecker; junior horses, Nancy Swartz, Terry Sharpe, Harold Johns, Frances Downham; junior flag race, Wayne Tweedle, Kids ousted at Clinton Exeter pee wees, undefeated throughout the regular schedule, fell quickly by the wayside in WOAA group playoffs with two straight defeats at the hands of Clinton. The local youngsters lost the second contest 5-2 in Clinton, Monday. Exeter moved in front with a single run in the second, and held the lead until the home team came up with two in the fourth. The locals knotted the count with another lone tally in the fifth, but Clinton sewed up the verdict in the bottom of the sixth, scoring three times on several free tickets to first, a throwing and a triple. Dennis Ferguson and Jack Darling led the Exeter five-hit attack with a double each. Jim Brown threw the first six innings for the Exeter youngsters, taking his first loss of the season. Pete Glover finished up on the mound. Kinsmen record rec loop victory The Exeter Kinsmen, scoring in every inning but the first, downed Centralia 11-6 in Rec loop play, Monday. Ken Jackson, George Pratt and Chuck McKenzie led the Kin batting splurge with two safeties apiece, McKenzie hashed a triple in the fifth for the longest hit of the night. Virgll MeNab went the distance on the Kinsmen hill and shutout Centralia over the last four inn- ings`. All other rec loop games wore washed out this week. Nearly all of the baseball and softball loops in the area have moved into play-offs, although for the first time during the entire summer a few games have been postponed during the past week by some wet weather. The only clubs that will still be competing in regular schedule play for another couple of weeks are the members of the Exeter rec softball loop. Incidentally, an all-star squad from this play-for-fun ".liniment league" turned in a tremendous perform- ance a week ago as the new lights at the Commun- ity Park were baptized.. The locals dropped a 2-1 decision to London Life in a 12-inning contest, but the large crowd on band was more than satisfied by the fine brand of ball displayed. With the approval of the weatherman, the preliminary round-robin series in the southern group of the Huron ladies softball should be completed by Saturday night. Exeter Greys, Hensall Golds and Brucefield are playing a home-and-home series with the top two teams to meet in a final series. The winner of this set will go 'on to meet Brussels and the event- ual victor will face St. Marys in the grand finale. The Cement Town gals received a bye into the final round. They showed complete supremacy throughout the regular schedule and will wait until the other four clubs fight it out. The final round has been reached in Huron- Perth baseball play. Walkerton and Mitchell will meet to decide the league title. The Bruce county boys ousted Dashwood in straight games, but Mitchell found the weatherman and a stubborn Zurich Lumber King outfit hard to subdue. Lead- ing the best-of-five final two games to none, the Mitchell club was leading 104 in the final frame of the third contest when the Kings fought back with six tallies to gain a tie. In game four, Zurich overcame a three-run deficit in the ninth to prevail 4-3 and came back with three scores in the last inning of the next game to tie again. The fifth game was called because of rain in the fourth stanza with Mitchell again out in front, The series finally wound up Sunday with Mitchell triumphing 7-5. Dashwood and Zurich have started a best-of- seven series to decide which club will advance into Ontario Baseball Association "D" play-offs. At time of writing the Tigers are leading 1-0 in games. JOB WELL DONE Possibly somewhat belatedly, we would like to pass on our congratulations to the committee in charge of installing the floodlighting system at Exeter Community Park. The enthusiastic executive, headed by Gil Burrows, accomplished the complete job in a very few short months. All financial obligations in connection with the lighting program have been fulfilled, thanks to the generous contributions by local organizations and individuals. A lot of hard work was put into the project by members of the 'committee, by skilled individuals who donated their time and talents and the help of the local PUC. We hope that all ball fans in town and the area will attend the rec league and ladies games and avail themselves of the opportunity to watch their favourite teams in action under pleasant light- ing conditions. GREAT BASEBALL LOSS The great game of baseball lost a dedicated person with the death last Wednesday of Detroit Tiger manager Charlie Dressen. Dressen, although still the official Tiger manager, went into hospital on May 16 of this year because of a heart condition and seemed to be recovering until entering hospital less than two weeks ago with a kidney ailment. The likeable Charlie, a thinking baseball man- ager, had been masterminding teams for 34 years and was at the helm of the Tigers since June 18, 1963. This makes the longest term a Bengal mentor has completed in almost 15 years. His first big league managerial stint was with the Cincinatti Reds in 1934. The Reds never finished higher than fifth under Dressen and he returned to Nashville in 1938, the scene of his debut as a ball pilot. One season at Nashville and Charlie turned to a coaching position with the Dodgers and Yankees up to 1948. The next two years were spent in a managerial role in Oakland and first and second place finishes gained him another piloting job in the majors. Probably the biggest disappointment in his entire career came in the season of 1951 while he was heading the Dodgers for an apparent pennant. His beloved "Bums", then stationed in Brooklyn, were leading the National League by 131/2 games on August 11 and then went into a tail spin and were tied by the New York Giants on the last day of the schedule, A dramatic home run by the Giants' Bobby Thomson M the last inning of the deciding play-off contest sent Dressen's dreams up in smoke. The Dodgers went on the following two years to grab the loop pennant, but were downed in the World Series each time by the Yankees. In the next 10 years he made managerial stops at Oakland, Washington, Milwaukee and Toron- to before being summoned to the Tigers three years ago. Dressen was a solid baseball man, happy, good humoured, but shrewd and cunning and sure of his ability to make the right move. After his fateful year of the collapse of his Dodgers, Charlie made a remark in 1953 that has become famous. This time When the pennant was in the bag, he commented, "The Giants is dead". Charlie was nonchalant about education, but he was quick to point out that he could have had it if he'd wanted it. When he was a youngster in Illinois starring at both baseball and football, he was offered an athletic scholarship at Millikin Uni- versity. At this time he was quarterbacking the De- catur Staleys, forerunners of the Chicago Bears. He was making $67 a week for his gridiron abilities so ignored university and went on as he said "using his brains", A grove of 00-foot twurgr,- tms will b' trahsplante.1 from th‘ West Coast for the Wester, Pr:.. vinces pavilion at Expo 07.
