Stan Lovie who is blossoming into a stand-out hitter in the play- offs helped the Dashwood cause with three singles. gene Guenther drew a walk and Bob Hoffman singled to raise the hopes of the Dashwood fans. At this point, Don O'Brien took over on the Zurich mound and struck out the first batter he faced and got the next on an easy grounder back to the hill, In the ninth with two out, Tig- ers' Jim Hayter drew a walk, stole second and moved to third on a wild throw but was left stranded. To emphasize the closeness of the contest, each team left 11 men stranded on the base paths, due mainly to the clutch pitching of the relievers. In one of the tightest battles in years, the Huron-Perth play- off to determine a league repre- sentative to advance in Ontario Baseball Association "D" ranks has been extended to eight games. Dashwood Tigers and Zurich Lumber Kings met on neutral grounds in Zurich last night, Wednesday, in the eighth game of what started out to be a four- out-of-seven series. The winner of Wednesday's contest will prob- ably make their first start down the OBA playoff trail over the weekend, The two evenly matched clubs battled to a 5-5 tie in Dashwood Sunday after each team had won three times on the home grounds of the other. The site of the eighth game was undecided until late Tues- day evening when officials of the two clubs and the league execu- tive finally agreed to play in Zurich after arrangements had been made to play on a neutral field in Mitchell.

The game, called after nine innings because of darkness, went more than three hours as each team had at least one base run- ner in eight of the nine innings played. The Lumber Kings started out in the first inning with a two run spurt and it looked as if the home field jinx would again apply. In the previous 10 games played between the two clubs to date this season the visiting team was victorious.

Woods singled in the fifth and doubled in the next inning and in each case drove in a run and also crossed the plate himself. Robert Wolfe and Scott Burton were next in line in the winners' hit department with a pair of singles each while Robert Wolfe and Bill Bourne added single safeties. C rediton' s big blow was a bases empty homer from the bat of Pete Ravelle in the top of the fourth. Ravelle also scored the second Crediton marker in the sixth and Doug Finkbeiner com- pleted his club's scoring in the final frame. LEAGUE MEETING AUG.27 9:00 pm winning pitcher Larry Inglis upped the Teen run total to nine and Dave Wood's single in the sixth was responsible for the final marker. The Legion batters could not get more than two hits off the offerings of Inglis in any one inning as the young right hander kept them well in check. Catcher Murray Brintnell's double in the second sent the first Vet runner across the plate and a single by Ron Bogart and a double from the bat of Bob Bayn- ham along with a couple of walks completed the Legion run total in the sixth. Bowling Lanes Two wins over the last week of play in the Exeter and district Rec softball league have moved the Teen Town 69'ers into first place. The 69'ers knocked the Exeter Legion nine off 10-4, Thursday and downed Crediton Tigers 7-3. Monday to up their season win total to eight, good for a 16 point mark, one more than the Legion who have grabbed seven wins and a tie. The Kinsmen were victorious 8-2 over the Tigers in Crediton Thursday in the only other game of the week and hold down third spat with 11 points while Crediton follows in the cellar with six points. The only action tonight pits the Legion and Kinsmen under the lights at Exeter. Pitcher Dave Woods was one of the main cogs in Monday's Teen Town win as he held the Crediton hitters to four hits and helped his own cause with a pair of hits. The outcome was in doubt for the first four innings as each club was only able to score once.

The Kinsmen wasted little time reaching the scoreboard in the O'Brien and Phil Overholt drew consecutive walks and Bruce Horton delivered a single to drive in the first two runners. Not to be denied, the Tigers roared right back in their half of the first as their first two batters were able to circle the bases successfully. Bob Hoffman and Art Rader rapped out back-to-back singles, moved up on Dave Ratz's sacri- fice fly and crossed the plate on a Zurich fielding miscue. In the second, the Zurich nine again took the lead, this time 3-2 as Dick Bedard doubled and rac- ed home on a similar hit from the bat of Earl Wagner. A streak of wildness by Dash- wood starter Eugene Guenther in the third put him in trouble and brought in lefty Dave Ratz from his outfield position. After retiring the first batter, Guenther walked two and hit an- other batter to load the bases. At this point, Rats took over and forced Bedard to lift a sacri- fice fly to deep right that allowed Phil Overholt to score from third. Kings' manager George Haggitt came through with a single to score Bruce Hortonfrom second, but Robert McNaughton who had walked to load the bases was caught trying to go from first to third on Haggitt's hit and was thrown out to end the inning, The Tigers bounced back again in the second to cut the Zurich margin to 5-3. Hoffman opened with a single to left, moved to second on a walk to Art Rader and came in on Ratz's single, With one out Bill Schade drew a walk to load the sacks but Mc- Naughton who started on the Zur- ich hill settled down and retired the side without further damage. The excitement continued as Zurich loaded the bases again in the top of the fourth but failed to score as Dashwood centre fielder Jim Hayter made a fine running catch on Bruce Horton's long drive to end the threat. The Zurich lead was cut to a single run in the bottom of the fourth as Stan Lovie belted the second pitch over the right field fence for a round tripper. It was Lovie again that came up with the big hit to tie the score for the Tigers in the sixth. The young outfielder tripled to open the frame and came in to knot the count on Bob Hoffman's sacrifice fly to left. The last big Zurich scoring threat came in the seventh when the first two batters reached the base paths and Rats was able to get the next three in order.

They increased the lead considerably with four more in the second. A walk, an error and singles from the bats of Bell, Little and Jim Hewitt put the Kin in front 5-0. Dick Coulter's double leading off in the third and a couple of infield outs put the Tigers into the scoring column. The Kins- men completed their game scor- ing in the fourth as Jim Russell's long drive to deep left went for a homer sending base runners Lyle Little and Ken Jackson home ahead of him, Another two-bagger, this time delivered by Pete Ravelle, pro- duced the second Crediton tally in the sixth, MISCUES HELP Four Legion errors in the first inning allowed the Teen Towners to take an early 4-0 lead on their way to the 10-4 win on the Exeter diamond, Thursday. Bill Bourne's first of three singles during the seven inning contest was the only hit off Vet turler Dick Bennett in the first i ming uprising. The youngsters continued with a single run in the second on the strength of singles by Jack Glover and Scott Burton and added a pair in the third as the result of one base blows from the bats of Bill Fairbairn and Bourne. Bourne's third hit of the game in the fourth coupled with similar safeties by Bill Farquhar and In some parts of Ontario the interest in base- ball appears to be fading out, but this is not the case in the local intermediate league, the Huron- Perth, and the Dashwood-Zurich area in particular. The long existina b rivalry between the two small towns in both baseball and hockey is enjoying one of its better years as the Zurich Lumber Kings and Dashwood Tigers vie for the right to represent the H-P in Ontario Association "D" playdowns. At the time of writing seven games of what started out to be a best-of-seven series have been played and the two clubs are still deadlocked. Although the series could be decided by the time this issue is printed, an interesting and very unusual situation has featured the entire year's play between the two clubs. Ina total of 11 games played to date the home team has yet to be victorious. The closest to breaking the home field jinx came in Dashwood Sunday night when the Tigers had the winning run on third in the bottom of the ninth but had to settle for a 5-5 tie. Despite the closeness of competition in the playoff round, a couple of stars have emerged on both teams. One of the most important cogs in the Dashwood machine, especially in the last two games, has to be outfielder Stan Lovie. The youngster playing his first year of base- ball has blossomed into a strong hitter, getting a pair of triples in Dashwood's 84 win Friday that tied the series, and slashing a triple and homer to keep his club in the running in Sunday's deadlock. The other top Tiger has to be pitcher- outfielder Dave Ratz. The young southpaw has gain- ed all three pitching wins for the Tigers and came on in relief in the third inning of the seventh game draw with his club down a couple of runs. He also leads the club in hitting with eight hits in 22 ap- pearances for an average of .363. On the plus side of the ledger for the Zurich Lumber Kings is another left-handed hurler, Robert MacNaughton, who is responsible for two of his olub's pitching wins and went most of the way in Sunday's tie. He also is the King's top hitter with a healthy .380 average. Top flight relief hurling by veteran Zurich performer Don O'Brien in the eighth and ninth frames of the seventh game kept the Zurich boys in the series. In other Huron-Perth action, Mitchell BP's hold a three games to two lead over Chesley in a best-of-seven set in the loop's playoffs and a one- 'game margin over the same club in a three-games series to name a league representative in the OBA "C" playdowns. The use of two players by Chesley in regular league play that do not qualify for provincial play has necessitated two separate playoffs. An improved St. Marys nine holds a three-to- one edge in games -over Walkerton in their seven- games series to name a H-P club in Ontario "B" ranks. While official records are not kept in Huron- Perth baseball action over the years, a new mark for home runs hit by one player in a single game was probably set on Saturday. In the fifth game of the Mitchell-Chesley set, Laverne "Porky" Wallace, a veteran performer over the years with Staffa and Mitchell clubs, hit three home runs to lead his team to a 7-6 victory. The versatile ,aithlete who is equally at home on the 'pitcher's mound or behind the plate with a glove and mask, sent drives over the left, centre and right-centre field fences. In his best previous home run hitting attempt, Wallace hit two balls over the left field fence in Zurich several years ago.

SAVE HUNDREDS ON THIS ONE Brock and Wilf Shapton followed in third and fourth places, re- spectively. More than 30 members of the local club turned out Tuesday night for their regular jitney night that was preceded by a pot luck supper. Mrs. Roy Swartz, who is in her first year of bowling accumu- lated two wins and a plus of 14 to take home first prize. Back in second spot came Bob Nicol, also with two wins and a plus of 12. Wellington Brock and Russ Snell were deadlocked in the next po- sitions with identical pluses of 11, but the former gained third place because of a greater ag- gregate score. Members of the Exeter Lawn Bowling club took most of the top prizes in a friendly meet with competitors from St. Marys on the local greens, Thursday. A total of 18 bowling enthusi- asts from the Stone Town joined with 32 from the home club to provide an excellent evening of bowling action. Ray Smith proved best of the two clubs, compiling two wins and a plus of 20. Mrs. Bert Francis was in the runner-up position with a similar two win record and a plus of 18. In the next two spots came Wilf Good- win and Ernie Marriott with iden- tical pluses of 1'7 to go with a pair of wins. Saturday local jitney action saw Alvin Pym edge Edna Cald- well by a single plus to gain the top position. Mrs. Wellington WELL ON THE WAY A few weeks ago we mentioned that Fergie Jenkins, the Chatham native now a member of the Chicago Cubs, could contribute his own Centennial project by way of three achievements in the Na- tonal baseball league. The three suggested were participating in the All-Star game, winning 20 games and also mak- ing the World Series. Fergie has already achieved one of his goals and is almost a certainty to ac- complish a second. He threw three innings in the All-Star game in July and last Sunday shut out the Philadelphia Phils 1-0 for his sixteenth win of the season. The Cubs, after a mid-season surge, have dropped 11 games off the National league pace and seem to have lost their chance at the title. Jenkins seems to be improving each time out and now has allowed only three runs in his last 44 innings of hurling and has recorded 16 wins and 177 strike-outs which are tops in the senior circuit. A change in his warm-up procedures could be one of the reasons for the great improvement in JenEns' performance in the past few weeks. Having trouble in the early innings he decided to increase the number of pitches he throws prior to a game from about 90 to 120. This system appears to be working as he blanked the opposition in two of his last three starts.

Limited HELP FOR PENNANT RUN As is the case most years, contending teams in the run to the wire in the American league are fortifying their rosters with last minute deals. The Chicago White Sox have acquired Ken Boyer from the New York Mets and Rocky Colavito by way of the Cleveland Indians to help their cause in the later days of the 1967 schedule. In similar moves, the Boston Red Sox picked up Elston How- ard from the Yankees and Detroit Tigers received long-time National leaguer Eddie Mathews. While the major leagues have a rule that pro- hibits deals after June 15, most of the late re- inforcements are picked up in so-called waiver deals and payment is often delayed. The announcement frequently reads "Outfielder Rip Slugger today was obtained from the Blue Sox for cash and a player to be named later." A suSpicion tonic' arise here that names are held back because of difficulties in securing waivers. These would not be needed once the season ends.
