Single runs in each of the first
three innings to lead 3-2 at the
end of three innings of play. 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.

stay. 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.

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.

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
