Tigers add H-P ball laurels
to OBA provincial crown
The Dashwood Tigers added
the Huron-Perth baseball
championship to their provincial
intermediate "D" title with a
16-6 win over St. Marys on the
Dashwood diamond, Sunday.
The Tigers won the OBA
championship two weeks ago
with two straight wins over
Mattice, challengers from
Northern Ontario.
St. Marys eliminated
Thorndale more than a month
ago and Dashwood won the first
game of a best-of-three series
with Mitchell at about the same
time and the Perth County club
conceded.
Due to the lateness of the
season a sudden-death game was
ordered to decide a league
champion.
WELL UNDER CONTROL
Despite the blustery, cold
weather, Dashwood hurler Bob
Webb was able to keep the St.
Marys bats fairly quiet and
allowed only eight hits over the

nine inning route.
The youthful right hander
used his strikeout weapon to
advantage as he struck out 11
visiting batters and gave up but
three bases on balls.
The Tiers struck quickly in
the first inning for four runs,
sending St. Marys starter Jim
Pfaff to the showers.
Singles by Bob Hoffman,
Whitey Denomme and Stan
Lovie and Pete Ravelle's double
were responsible for sending the
first quartet of Dashwood runs
across the plate.
Bob Webb's single following a
St. Marys fielding miscue sent
the fifth Tiger marker home in
the fourth.
A couple of walks, the same
number of errors and singles by
Ravelle and Bud Desjardine
along with Webb's two-bagger in
the fifth upped the Dashwood
run total to an even dozen.
Webb collected his third hit of
the afternoon, a single in the
seventh and scored along with
Bob Hoffman who drew a base
on balls from the offerings of
reliever Dennis Flach.
The final Tiger' tallies came in
the bottom of the eighth when
Gord Vincent was hit by a pitch
and rode home on Stan Lovie's
long drive to deep centre for a
home run.
In addition to Webb, Pete
Ravelle and Stan Lovie were the
only Dashwood batters to
collect more than one bit apiece.
For St. Marys, Flach and Vic
and Norm Noble each collected
two safeties. Tiger manager
Glenn Webb and captain Dave
Ratz received the Huron-Perth
trophy immediately following
the game from league president
Bob Sadler of Staffa.

OHA grouping set
SnrPtiseS and disaPpOin talents were quite
common in the just concluded Olympic Games in
Mexico
When it looked as if Canada was doing to be left
Without a gold medal our equestrian team pulled an
upset in taking the Grand Prix team event on the last
day of the Olympics, This was probably the *gest
surPrise for Canadian officials and supporters.
The disappointments came with the two second
place finishes by Elaine Tanner in swimming events last
week.
Although, television coverage by the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation was excellent, technical
difficulties prevented showing of the gold medal
presentation and raising of the Canadian flag. This was
carried by tape later Sunday evening.
After a quick look at our set of encyclopedia we
find the first winners for Olympic Games were recorded
in 776 B.C. During the first games a truce was observed
'in any wars while the events were held.
This method was discontinued in modern times
with cancellation of scheduled Olympic Games in 1916,
1940 and 1944 during war times.
The first Olympic Games were held at Olympia in
Greece once every four years at the first full moon after
the summer solstice.
The centre of the original Olympics was the
temple of Zeus, at Olympia, Greece which was one of
the seven wonders of the ancient world. The ancient
games consisted of chariot races, long and short foot
races, a combination of boxing and wrestling known as
the pancratium and the petathalon, consisting of five
different events. These were leaping, foot racing,
wrestling, throwing the discus and throwing the spear.
Seating at the racing track in Olympia provided
seating accommodation for 40,000 spectators. Instead
of medals, olive wreaths were awarded to the winners
and triumphal processions were held in their honor.
With many modem discussions on the eligibility
of some athletes because of professional leanings and
support by sporting goods companies it is interesting to
read about the City of Athens maintaining her victors
for life.
The first of the series of modem Olympic Games
was held in Athens in 1896 in a stadium built for that
special purpose. In 1924 the Olympics were broadened
allowing winter sports for the first time and four years
later women were allowd to. compete.
The Olympic Games over the years have
witnessed a constant improvement in the standards of
performance and the setting of many new records each
year.
In 72 years since the first modern games, the
distances and'''. times' in track and field events have
undergone' quite a chanie. In 1896 the high junip mark
was 5' 111/4"as compared to the 7' 41/4" mark set by
Dick Fosbury of the United States this year. The
American's unorthodox "back flip" leap over the bar
was one of the highlights of the 1968 games.
The unbelievable advance in records came with a
67 foot, seven and three-quarter inch shot put toss by
Randy Matson of United States. The record in 1896 was
only 36 feet, two inches.
Canada has now won 10 gold medals in the 16
Olympic Games since the modern games commenced'
and the swimming medals won this year were the first
for Canada since 1928.
FINALLY OVER
The baseball season in this area is finally over and
steps should be taken to avoid the dragging out of final
series in future years.
On Sunday afternoon, the Dashwood Tigers won
the Huron-Perth Intermediate Baseball championship by
defeating St. Marys in a sudden-death contest while the
Exeter B-A's downed the Legion to win the Exeter and
district Rec softball championship.
It took more than four weeks to complete the,
four game recreation league final and the weather was
certainly not to blame.
The teams were unable to decide on suitable dates
for various reasons, mostly because pitchers for either
club were not available on a certain night.
In the Huron-Perth situation, again this year,
OBA playoffs took preference over deciding the local
league championship.
We would like to see the H-P title decided before
any club moves into provincial playdowns. It seems to
be the same story every year where the OBA demands a
"D" winner from this locality at a certain time.
In order to do this, the Huron-Perth series is
hurried to get a winner and then the club has to wait a
couple of weeks for further competition. This year, the
Dashwood Tigers and Zurich Lumber Kings were
ordered to play their final game on a Thursday night, so
a club could move on by the weekend.
This happened, but the Dashwood team took on
Walsingham in a series that was allowed to go three
weeks and then they had to wait exactly a month to
meet Mattice in the finals.
The H-P final could have easily been completed,
leaving plenty of time for provincial playdowns to be
played in good weather. Sunday's final game between
the Tigers and St. Marys was played in temperatures
more suitable for football or hockey and didn't produce
the brand of ball both teams are capable of playing.
