Tigers bounce ..back to extend Rec final Page 6 Times-Advocate, October 5, 1967 FOR At.I., GOOD SPORTS By Ross Haugh Gloom in Tigertown VICTORIA AND GREY TRUST Both teams played a loose brand of ball in the early in- nigs and with a goodly number of solid base hits produced a lot of runs. The Kinsmen were off and running sending their first two batters in the game safely around the bases. They added another pair of tallies in the second while Crediton scored a single marker in their first trip to the plate and broke loose with four more in the second, The Crediton Tigers, facing elimination in the final round of the Exeter and district Rec softball league playoffs bounced back with a o-a last inning win over Exeter Kinsmen on their home diamond Tuesday to stay in contention, The Kin nine now lead the best-of-seven set three games to one and the fifth game will be at Exeter's Community Park to-night, Thursday at 8:30. GUARANTEED INVESTMENTS 3, 4 or 5 YEAR TERM Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright, The band is playing somewhere, and some- where hearts are light; And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout, But there is no joy in Tigertown—MeAuliffe grounded out. The above is a revised version of the last verse of Ernest Lawrence Thayer's "Casey at the Bat", written before the turn of the century but very applicable to the baseball situation in Detroit early Sunday evening. Needless to say, there was little joy in Detroit and plenty of laughing and shouting in Boston as the Red Sox clinched the American league pennant as the result of the Tiger loss to California in the sec- ond half of a doubleheader. We are a bit disappointed along with the many other Detroit fans in the area that the Tigers could not win the title but most of us will agree the Red Sox deserved to win and will give the St. Louis Cardinals all the opposition they want. The performance of the Red Sox this year under the guidance of rookie manager Dick Williams surprised all the experts including the 14 local base- ball enthusiasts who made their annual predictions in the T-A on May 4. We have been accused by the editor in many of our predictions of "shooting the bull" but hope he will check back and read our column in the same issue. For the benefit of our readers who are unable to check back, we picked the Boston club to finish second to the Tigers and suggested that surprising performances could be expected from the Red Sox, the Chicago Cubs and the New York Yankees. The Cubs finished in third spot in the Na- tional league, their highest placing in many years. A lot of the credit for the Cubs' success can be at- tributed to the fine season turned in by Fergie Jen- kins. The Chatham native won 20 games and broke the record for most strikeouts for one season by a Chicago pitcher by sending the opposition batters down swinging on 214 occasions. This bested the for- mer mark of 206 set by Orval Overall back in 1909 when the Cubs managed by Frank Chance were the dominant force in the National league with four pen- nants in a span of five years. The Jenkins' feat is a terrific accomplishment when one turns back the clock to tick off the names of some of the great Cub hurlers who, in that long 58-year stretch failed to wipe out Overall's record. Greatest of them all, of course, was Grover Cleveland Alexander who struck out 173 for the Cubs in 1920. Other great Windy City hurlers over the years who failed to fan as many as Jenkins were Charlie Root, Lon Warneke, Bill Lee and Claude Passeau. The young Canadian who stands at five inches over the six foot mark has a promising career ahead of him in the major leagues when one considers he won 20 games, struck out 214 and made the NL all- star team in his first full year in the big time. Rainbows are biting A couple of visits to the Maitland river in the vicinity of Goderich have proved very successful for local fishing enthusiasts, Eric Ost- land and Gar Johnston. Above, they are shown with two of their prize catches. Johnston at the right holds a 24 inch rainbow trout that tipped the scales at five pounds dressed weight. Ostland displays a 20 inch beauty caught the same day and also landed a 29 inch trout that weighed seven pounds a few days earlier. T-A photo Panthers win another in H-P foofball play South Huron Panthers con- tinued their winning ways influr- on-Perth conference senior foot- ball play with a 13-0 romp over the Seaforth Red Raiders on the local school field, Friday. It was the second successive triumph for coach Ron Bogart's charges. In junior action at Goderich. the South Huron boys were a bit less successful as they bowed to the lakeport gridders 14-1 The next games in the regular schedule bring both St. Marys clubs to town Friday afternoon. In a pre-season contest a couple of weeks ago, the Panthers ran roughshod over the St. Marys seniors by a 47-0 count. in their first league start, a 10-6 win over Mitchell a week ago. Desjardine, in addition to chalking up a pair of touchdowns, carried the ball on 13 occasions and gained a total of 100 yards. Hayter was next in line in the ball lugging department, gaining 30 yards in eight attempts. Bill Farquhar carried the ball four times good for 14 yards. Through the air, the Panthers were only successful once as Scott Burton hit Kevin McKinnon with an 11 yard pass. The visiting Seaforth club com- pleted four of eight passes and two others were intercepted by Len Rimmer and Ron Durand of the Panthers. As in their first two games of the season, the Panthers were hit hard with penalties, being as- sessed a total of 60 yards in Friday's contest as compared to a single five yard call against S eaforth, Bob Callingliam opened the game with a single and scored on Ken Jackson's double. The latter moved to third as the relay to the infield was errat- ic and scored on Jim Russell's sacrifice fly to deep centre. Bouncing right back the Tigers scored on singles by Roy Smith and Doug Finkbeiner in the first and had the bases loaded when the final out was made. George Pratt and Bill Rowe connected for back to back singles to open the second and came around to count for the Kinsmen with the help of a Crediton error and a ground out, Jim Pfaff, Creditoritstop hitter of the night tripled to open the second, Pete Martin drew a walk and Pfaff scored on Jim Fink- beiner's fielder's choice when Kin infield decided to make a try for the runner at the plate and failed, Dick Coulter's single and a wild pitch sent Martin and Fink- beiner across and Coulter came home on a couple of infield outs. Doug Finkbeiner tripled a s Crediton's first batter in the third and came home when the relay got away from the catcher to put his club in front 6-4. The Kinsmen temporarily knotted the count with a pair of tallies in the top of the fourth on a walk along with Bob Calling- ham's triple and a single from the bat of Ken Jackson. In the bottom of the same frame, Jim Finkbeiner singled and completed his tour of the bases with the help of two op- position errors to put the Tigers back in front 7-6. Both teams went scoreless in the next two innings until the Kinsmen scored twice in the top of the seventh to go in front for the first time. Jim Russell started the rally with a ground single to right field, was joined on the base paths by George Pratt who was hit on the head with a pitch, and both scored on a Crediton error and Jim Hewitt's sacri- fice fly. Doug Finkbeiner plated the tying run in the seventh after reaching first on an error and coming the remaining distance on Pfaff's single to left. With the score tied in the top of the ninth, Russell led off with another single but was left stranded. Doug Finkbeiner and Cam Mc- Arthur started the Crediton rally in the ninth with looping singles to centre and Finkbeiner scored the winning run as Pfaff drilled a sharp liner to deep centre that outfielder Ken Jackson got a glove on but couldn't hold. Jim Pfaff with his three key hits and a pair of safeties each from the bats of Dick Coulter, Roy Smith, Doug Finkbeiner and Cam McArthur led the 14-hit Crediton attack on Kinsmen hur- ler Don Bell. Bob Laye and Gord Slaght shared the Crediton pitching duties. Laye went the first four innings and gave up six runs on only four hits. Slaght finished up allowing two runs and three hits while striking out six.

Desjardine found a good hole in the Seaforth line on the sec- ond play of the second quarter and rambled 15 yards for the first score of the game. The other South Huron scoring play came on the last play of the third quarter as Desjarcl i n e plunged two yards for a major score. Jim Hayter, with a success- ful convert to up the count to 13-0, completed the scoring. The Panther offensive machine was held down pretty well by the visitors from Seaforth as they only gained a total of 142 yards. In their exhibition contest against St. Marys the locals ran up a total offence of Over 400 yards and added well over 200 yards Legion darts get started The Exeter Legion Mixed dart league is back in business for another year and 12 teams ans- wered the call for the first sche- duled games Friday evening. The Dart Sharks quickly moved into first place with a sweep of five points from the Generals. Close behind are the Hairpins as the result of four pOints in their opening action while four other clubs are tied for third spot with three points apiece. Larry Estey moved in ftont in the men's high single com- petition with a score of 140 while Terry Heywood was best for the ladies with 120. Harold Brintnell is president of the league for 1967-68 while Barb Hearn and Walter Roma.niuk take care of the secretary and treasurer duties respectively. Last week's scores were: Dart Sharks 5 — Generals 0 Hairpins 4 — Canners 1 Itchy Four 3 — Cleaners Four B'S 3 —Shiphunters 2 Legionnaires 3 — Turtles 2 Spares 3 — FeatherflightS 2 ADVERTISING The shortest route to business profits RUSSELL ELECTRIC EXETER 235 0505 SOX SHOULD DO IT Getting back to the business at hand, that of the upcoming World Series, we will go with the Bos- ton Red Sox in six games. One of the reasons in pick- ing the Red Sox besides American league loyalty has to be one Carl Yastrzemski. This fellow's name has appeared in print so often this year he has given as much trouble to the sports writers in spelling his name properly as he has to opposing managers and pitchers. Yastrzemski led the American league in near- ly every batting department and is a cinch to take the league's most valuable player award. With a ter- rific surge in the last two weeks he upped his batting average by 15 points to a healthy .325, by far the best in the junior circuit. Added to this is his sharing of the, home run crown at 44 with Harmon Killebrew of the Minnesota Twins and his lead in the runs batted in, runs scored and hits delivered column. With everybody talking about his terrific hit- ting another valuable contribution he is making to the Boston cause may be somewhat overlooked. Yaz is regarded by his opposition as being one of the top outfielders in the business. While his four hits in Sunday's big Boston win over Minnesota helped turn the tide, a strike thrown to second base from the deep left field cor- ner in the eighth cut off a Twin threat to tie the score. With Boston leading 5-2 and two out in the eighth and two Minnesota runners aboard, Bob Alli- son lined the ball down the left field line to score one run and send the other runner to third but Yas- trzemski's perfect toss to second caught Allison cold trying to go into second. Anything hut a strike thrown from a distance of almost 300 feet would have left the tying run on second. When the chips are down in a short seven- game series, season statistics are usually thrown out the window and forgotten. If a close look is taken at the pitching and batting averages of the two World Series contestants a slight edge would go to the Card- inals. As a club, the Cards have a 1967 batting aver- age of .265 as compared to .253 by the Red Sox. In the pitching department, the St. Louis hurlers compiled an earned run average of 3.13 and Boston's was 3.28 but the hurlers of Dick Williams and company did allow fewer hits over the season and struck out more, Despite the statistical report, we feel the Red Sox will continue the momentum that carried them to the title in the closest battle the American league has ever enjoyed. Only once in AL history have two teams tied for first place but there were many possibilities in- cluding a four-way tie as late as last Thursday. Back in 1048, the Cleveland Indians thumped the same Boston Red Sox 8.3 in a sudden-death game, the day after the regular season closed. In that game, Lou Boudreau, then Indian man- ager, socked four hits in four trips to the plate to help rookie pitcher gene Bearden on the way to vic- tory. Colorful Bit Veeck, who was Cleveland owner at the time admitted after the game, he almost traded Boudreau to the S. Louis Browns earlier in the year.
