Brucefield, first place finish- ers in the round-robin playdowns, kept their extra season slate clean with an 8-2 win over Exeter, Thursday and a 16-4 thumping of Hensall, Saturday. The Gold s ended with an even 2-2 record while the Exeter gals were win- less in four starts. The two top clubs now meet in the final series.

They broke the game wide open in the fourth with a four run rally, mainly the result of a costly Gold error.. The Golds amassed their two run total in the bottom of the third. Linda Regan opened with a double, Muriel Ferguson fol- lowed with a one base effort and both girls romped home as Eleanor Shiels whacked a long triple. The Hensall gals actually out- hit Brucefield ten to four but were unable to get their hits when they were needed. Regan was the top Gold slugger, getting a pair of singles in ad- dition to her double in the third. Shiels was the only other Hen- sallite to garner more than one safety, adding a single to her run producing three bagger. Aiding the Hensall cause with singles were Muriel Ferguson, Marg Boa, Arlene Chipchase, Joyce Ferguson and Mary Lou Hyde. Batters juiced up when grapefruit fly singled with one out and managed to complete the bases with the go-ahead marker. .Golds lead-off hitter in the seventh, Muriel Ferguson col- lected her first of two singles of the night to reach first safely, moved to second on an infield out and came home with the tying marker as Mary Lou Hyde beat out a bunt. This set the stage for the Hensall game winning rally in the top of the eighth. The opposing pitchers, Chuter and Robinson, turned in solid efforts, each allowing but four bits and being stingy in the clutches. Chuter in gaining the victory sent eight Greys down by way of the strike out, while Robinson fanned three. rally for his mates was robbed 'of a hit when his line drive was ,i:rabbed spectacularly by Marg ,,Stormin Norman" wragg.

Ken Jackson, Bill Rowe and Dave McCutcheon opened the inn- :g with consecutive singles to start the ball rolling. A following walk to Hewitt, a single by Lloyd Mathers and a hit batsman pro- duced the four runs. Three members of the winning flub gained their second hits of the night in the top of the seventh. Jackson and McCutcheon slashed singles and McKenzie banged a two-bagger to send two runs across and put the game in the win column for the Kinsmen. Virgil McNab and Don Bell shared the pitching duties for the Kin clan, with the latter coming on in relief in the fifth. Dave Woods went the distance for the Teeners. GREYS DROP FOURTH Under the lights in Hensall, Thursday, Exeter Greys bowed out of the play-off picture as they dropped their fourth straight contest, this time to Brucefield 8-2. In a game that meant nothing to either club, the Greys scored lone markers in the first and fourth to take a 2-0 lead until the Brucefield gals broke loose with_ a seven run blast in the fifth. The Greys, although scoring once in the first, probably blew their best scoring chance of the night as they had the bases loaded with one out and failed to score any more runs. Solid singles by Darlene Snell, Fern Dougall and Jan Bennett produced the first Exeter tally and singles by Brenda Dinney and Pat Down concluded the Grey scoring for the night in the se- cond. Pat Down, handling the mound chores for the Greys, held the Brucefield club in check and com- pletely off the score sheet until the fifth when they broke the game open with seven big runs. Exeter Community Park was the scene of a ((juicy" grudge softball game, Friday evening. Members of the Legion Ladies' Auxiliary challenged their hus- bands to determine which group possessed the best diamond abil- ities. At last report, the official scorer was still ciphering, but the ladies claim an 8-4 win. Several times during the con- test, the pitchers were able to sneak a grapefruit, painted white to resemble a softball, into the game. The unsuspecting batters took healthy cuts at the flying sphere and were rewarded with generous splatterings of ((break- fast refreshments". The ladies' line-up, sometimes numbering about 15 in a defen- sive move, was augmented by a couple of ((ringers", sporting fancy hair-dos, Verdun Lindenfield, showing a lot of the pitching form that led Exeter ladies' teams of some years ago, was able to fire a third strike past her husband, Jake, on three occasions. Two plate umpires were on duty at all times acting in a dual capacity to keep the game under control. Bill ((Klemm" Cutting and Grace (cI calls them as they is" Farquhar used numerous conferences and a substantial stable broom to keep the game clean throughout. ' Legion prexy, Chub Edwards, trying desperately to start a -- Continued from page 6 his triple to end the Exeter scoring in the first. The home club fought back with four runs in their half of the first with Bob Mustard's homer the key blow. Finkbeiner singled and circled the bases in the second to up the Exeter lead to '7-4. Clinton came roaring back to score five times in the third to go in front for the first time. Continuing the see-saw battle, the locals plated three runners in the top of inning four to again regain the lead. Grasdahl and Pete Revington drew successive walks and came racing in on Farrell's round-tripper. The clubs traded single runs in the fifth as Exeter retained a one run edge. Murray Hodge completed the cycle for Exeter and McPherson was the success- ful Clinton runner. Ron Grasdahl tripled in the sixth and came home on Farrell's single to notch the last run for the locals and set the stage for the game winning Clinton rally in the last half of the same frame, the fourth to put the score on an even 3-3 basis. The Revington boys combined in the second to produce the first Exeter score. Greg, leading off, was hit by a pitched ball, moved to third as brother Pete singled to left and came home on an infield out.. After two were out in the Exeter fourth, Pete Revington drew a walk, Don Farrell singled and both came home on Murray Hodge's single to left, Farrell went the complete way on the local mound, allowing but four well scattered hits. CROPS THRIVE ON LIQUID FERTILIZER CLOSE BATTLE In one of the best ladies' games of the season on the local dia- mond, Wednesday, Hensall Golds edged Exeter Greys 4-3. Linda Regan and Muriel Ferguson shar- ed the Hensall batting spotlight, each collecting two base hits to pick up four of their club's total of five. With the score tied at 3-3 in the top of the eighth, Regan led off with a single, advanced to second on an infield out and crossed the plate with the even- tual winner as Ferguson rapped out a safe one-base blow. The two clubs battled on fairly even terms right from the first pitch to the deciding blow in the first extra inning. Hensall jumped into an early 2-0 lead in the first as Marion McNutt drew a walk, moved to second as Linda Regan got her first hit of the night, a single, and both girls romped home as the Exeter infield booted a ground ball. The home team were quick to retaliate and knotted the score with single markers in the first and second. Darlene Snell doubled to open the first and scooted across when the Golds' erred on Fern Dou- gall's sharp ground out. Connie Kernick opened the second with a single and completed the cycle as the result of Jan Bennett's hit, also of the single variety. Both hurlers, June Chuter of Hensall and Patti Robinson of Exeter, continued to mow down the opposition with regularity as the score remained at 2-2 through the fifth. The Greys moved in front for the first time in the game with a single tally in the bottom of the sixth. Third sacker Pat Down By MRS. J.
