The Tigers 014seored another Tiger team, from Mattiee in the Saturday opener 12.9 and came right back in, the same style Sunday with a 12-8` victory to wrap up the provincial title. Both games were played on the Dashwood diamond. It was the second all-Ontario championship for a Dashwood intermediate club in. 15 years. Dashwood disposed of the Walsingham Senators, also in straight games, almost a month ago to advance to the final round. Mattice, winners of the only intermediate grouping in Northern Ontario received a bye into the championship series. The play of both clubs suffered severely from their long layoffs but the large crowds on hand Saturday and Sunday were treated to plenty of action and saw base runners in almost every inning. During the entire series, on only one occasion was each team retired in one-two-three order, both instances happening in the Sunday game, Dashwood pitcher Bob Webb got three straight outs in the third inning and Willie St. Louis of Mattice did the same thing in the Dashwood seventh, although he gave up one base hit. Jim Hayter started the inning with a single but was thrown out trying to steal second. St. Louis struck out the next two batters to record a perfect inning. Dashwood's pitching staff of Bob Webb and Dave Ratz combined to bring home the championship and were helped by timely hitting by their mates and costly Mattice errors. Webb came on to relieve Ratz in the seventh inning of Saturday's game and went the full nine inning distance in the second contest. The South Huron District High School football clubs are at the top of the standings in their respective divisions of the Huron-Perth Conference. The junior Panthers have three wins in as many starts in league play and hold undisputed possession of first place. Doug Ellison's club shut-out Stratford Central 13-0 in the first half of a doubleheader at the local school field, Thursday. In the second half of the twin bill, Ron Bogart's senior Panthers squeezed past Stratford Central 13-12 in a rough contest played on a muddy field. The win was the third consecutive triumph for the seniors and gives them a share of first place with Goderich and Wingham. The next Conference action for the South Huron teams comes this afternoon, Thursday when they are again at home for two games. The juniors will be playing host to Listowel while the seniors are taking on Seaforth. Goderich and Wingham senior clubs meet this week in a crucial contest. TWO LONG PASSES A pair of long forward passes that went for touchdowns provided the South Huron juniors with enough power to down Stratford Central, last year's league champions 13-0. After a scoreless first quarter, South Huron quarterback Randy Decker hit Brian Campbell with a 35 yard pass in the early moments of the second period to open the game scoring. Decker kicked a single point in the third quarter to up the Another deadlock in Legion darts For the second consecutive week a tie exists for first place in the Exeter Legion mixed darts league.

Another aerial toss from Decker from his own 45 yard line was picked off by Larry Bourne and carried over the Stratford goal line to complete the scoring for the afternoon. In a post game vote, Gary Eagleson was named the best performer on the local defensive unit and Larry Bourne was , chosen best on the team, offensively. TOO, TOO CLOSE The senior Panthers kept their winning streak intact with the 13-12 win over Stratford Central, but- coach Ron Bogart said after the game "it was too, too close." Although the footing was treacherous due to heavy rains of the previous night', a lot of the yardage gained came on forward passes. Stratford quarterback Glenn Harloff completed 10 ofh23 pass attempts good for 130 yards. - Please turn to page 16 VISITORS SCORE FIRST Mattice scored three times in the first four innings Saturday without a reply from the home club and put a scare into the Dashwood fans. Typical of their play all season, the hometown Tigers exploded for eight runs in the bottom of the fourth and came right back with another four markers in the next inning. Mattice clean-up hitter Jean Paul Gagnon singled to score the + first run for the visitors. A hit batsman, a Dashwood error and Yvon Aube's single upped the Mattice run total to three in the fourth. Twelve Dashwood batters went to the plate in the fourth when they blew the game wide open with an eight run rally. Gord Vincent and Jim Hayter poked doubles while Bob Hoffman and Stan Lovie contributed singles to spark the rally. In the fifth, singles by Bill Schade and Hoffman along with a visiting error and a balk were mainly responsible for the four Dashwood runs. Three infield singles by Paul Brunelle, Gaetan Gosselin and Jean Paul Gagnon along with Barry Gibson's solid single, a Dashwood error and Claude Gagnon's triple sent six Mattice runners across the plate in the seventh. In the seventh, Mattice batted out of turn in their second time around with Art Dillon one of the club's top hitters batting ahead of pitcher Willie St. Louis, but the intended strategy failed as Dillon popped out.

ALL GOOD By Ross Haugh Hail the champs This was certainly a good year for Tiger baseball teams that have been without championships for quite a few years. Of course, the biggest news was the Detroit Tigers appearing in a World Series for the first time in 23 years, This had to be one of the most exciting ball clubs in many a year and they didn't disappoint their fans by using .the same come-from-behincl tactics against the Cardinals as they did all season long against their regular American league foes. Closer to home, the Dashwood Tigers using the same methods as their more famous namesakes brought home the Ontario Baseball. Association Intermediate "D" championship after an absence of 15 years. This year's Tigers, guided by Glenn Webb knocked off the northern champs from Mattice in a couple of high scoring games on the weekend. Dashwood with an eight run rally in the fourth inning Saturday took the first game 12-9 and came back Sunday with a 12-8 win with four runs in their first trip to the plate. This was the first time a Northern Ontario team has made an attempt to win the provincial title. The calibre of play was far from championship style but each game provided lots of excitement for the large crowds. Manager Mano Dupuis of Mattice told us his club was very happy with the trip and the courtesy extended by the Dashwood management and fans. Both clubs were obviously far from their best due to lengthy layoffs after winning the right to compete in the Ontario final. Dashwood eliminated the Walsingham Senators on September 15 and were idle except for one Huron-Perth playoff game with Mitchell since that time. Similarly, Mattice cinched their group title at about the same time and were certainly hampered by the long trip to Dashwood, about 765 miles. Some of the Mattice players brought their wives and families along for the weekend, making it sort of a fall holiday. For one member of the Mattice club it was a homecoming weekend. Barry Gibson, a native of Wingham was in left field for the opening contest and appeared as a pinch hitter in the final game. Gibson, who we remember as a Wingham softball star a few years back has been the Canadian National Railway station agent at Mattice for the past two years. We were impressed with the friendliness of the Mattice officials and players that we met during their short stay in the district. Due to the fact, the club was not guaranteed a set amount of money for the trip south, each player took care of his own expenses and will then receive a share of the money the Mattice team receives from the split of the two Dashwood gate receipts. One member of the MattiCe pitching staff;4 lanky left hander named Willie St. Louis showed plenty of promise • but needs plenty of pitching coaching in learning the proper ways to assume the proper set position on the mound with men on the base paths. He seems to have a lot of natural ability but was called for balks on several occasions during the weekend series. Congratulations to both Tiger clubs winning championships. Not in Tigertown Following is an item that appeared in Saturday's issue of Newsweek Magazine. "While other leisure activities expand, baseball is shrinking and polls indicate little hope of resurgence. Baseball is sick and it is going to get sicker as long as-its leaders keep ignoring its problems. "Every year it becomes harder to even sit through, much less enjoy, a nine inning game, and it is almost impossible for anyone but the most hypnotized fans to stay really interested in an endless 162-game schedule. Baseball has become an anachronostic bore." This may be true in some parts of North America but don't try to sell that idea in Detroit or Dashwood this week. Detroit is still recuperating from one of the most enthusiastic celebrations ever held anywhere and the police village of Dashwood erupted with a small celebration of its own after the local Tigers took the OBA "D" championship. The hero of the Detroit Tiger World Series victory, Mickey Lolich has received some special spoils. Washington Boulevard in Detroit has been temporarily renamed Lolich Boulevard and Mickey, a sergeant in the Michigan National Guard has been exempted from KP duty for one full year. In Bill Freehan's neighbourhood, about 250 kids from St. Bede's grammar school went over to the Tiger catcher's house and staged a celebration on the front lawn.
