elle Squeezes Colts
Right Out of Playo:
(By RSA)
A dark -Haired husky 17 -year -
',old youth ushered Clinton Colts
out of the Huron -Perth Baseball
League and subsequent. OBA
play-offs.
Ray Yelle, the Parkhill lad
who has been living in a cottage
at Grand Bend in order to qual-
ify, him to play with Dashwood
juveniles and intermediates, let
the Colts down with three measly
hits at Dashwood Monday even-
ing His team took eight off
Bob Craig and fashioned them
into enough runs to win by 6-2.
As Dashwood and Yelle had
taken Colts over- the jumps in
Clinton Friday evening by, 5-2,
itIte •round was Dashwood's in
two straight, qualifying the lads
of the south to meet Mitchell in
the final play-off aeries for the
Venus Trophy and the right to
continue in the OBA Intermed-
iate "C" playdowns,
Thus Clinton's long reign on
the Huron -Perth throne has
come to an end, and the baseball
fans hereabouts will now have
to turn to the -juvenile Lions or
banter( Shaws for their •arnuse-
ment, Incidentally, the kids are
playing good baseball and deserve
support.
The game . got under way at
6.15 p.m.—half an hour late—and
finished about 8.05 p.m. when
darkness fell, allowing only six -
and -a -half innings. If we were
running the show we would in-
sist on a nine -inning game to
decide playoff fixtures.
Yelle struck out 13 Colts in
the seven innings, three in each
of the first and seventh. Bob
Craig fanned 'six in six frames.
Bartliff and Bill Craig whiffed
three times each, and 1VIcEwan
and Schoenhals twice.
In the first game here. Dash-
wood produced Carl Wein as the
heavy slugger, but' et Dashwood
Monday, it was Bob Hayter who
was the big gun. He had a
double and two singles in Three
and tallied two runs. Rayme
Wein had two in three.
McEwan, • Draper and Neilans
were the only Colts to hit safely.
It was a lovely game of ball,
with a large crowd in attend-
ance. The cars were parked for
half a mile along the country
road where the ball park is lo-
cated. Among the spectators was
Bert White, Mitchell, who play-
ed with Colts for so many years.
He was confident that Mitchell
could take Yelle although he
thought it . would be tough
sledding.
Draper singled in the second,
advanced on catcher's error, and
scored when Laurie Colquhoun
was safe on Jack Hayter's error
at second.
Bartliff was safe at first .lr a
missed • third strike, took second
on an overthrow, stole third, and
scored on 1VIc5wan's single toy
right.
Dashwood bunched four runs
and the winning margin in the
third. J. Hayter was hit by
pitcher; Carl Wein walked; Bob
Hayter singled scoring J. Hay-
ter; Geiser singled scoring Wein
and R. Hayter; R. Wein singled
scoring Geiser.

YELLE STOPS
CLINTON COLTS
IN s FIRST GAME
Ray . Yelle, Dashwood's 17 -
year -old pitching sensation., prov-
ed too much"for Clinton Colts in
the first game of the Huron-
Perth Baseball League playoffs
here Friday evening last.
The young righthander held
the Colts to five scattered hits,
whale his teammates grabbed
eight, including a homer by Carl,
Wein in the eighth, and won 5-2.
This Wein also had a double and
a single for three in four, and
spearheaded his team's attack.
' Yelle proved his effectiveness
in the pinches on more than one
occasion, retiring the side with-
out runs being scored when run-
ners were on bases with only
one out.
Although he fell down badly
at 'bat, Bill Craig proved a star
in the outfield for Colts, engin-
eering a double play in the third.
He made a difficult running catch
of Haugh's fly and then laced it
to McEwan to double Regier at
second, and thus pull Bob Draper
out of a bad hole.
Draper sailed along fairly well,
with good support, until the
sixth, two doubles, a single and
two errors, gave kDashwood three
runs with one out. Gordon
Stock relieved and got the next
two men out.
Colts' big effort and two runs
came in the seventh. Art Wood-
cock singled, stole second, and
took third on a passed ball. Stock
fanned, Bertliff walked, Mac-.
Donald grounded out at first,
scoring Woodcock and advancing
Bartliff to third. McEwan doub-
led scoring Bertliff. Draper flied
to left .to end ,the rally.

LIONS PLAY
THIRD GAME
HERE FRIDAY,
Clinton Lions captured the
second game of their WOAA
Juvenile "A" final series 8-2 'at
Mount. Forest Tuesday evening.
Dashwood won the first "B" final
with Drew 8-7 at Clifford the
same day.
The teams stack . up ' against
each other again in Clinton at
six o'clock sharp Friday evening
in the best -three -in -five series.
A win for Lions will give them
the title in three straight, but
the boys are taking no chances,
Cam Maltby did the hurling
duties for the .locals, fanning 11
batters and walking three in a
six -inning game. In the .second,
he walked` the first two men at
bat but struck out the next three
to retire the side. He also had
three strikeouts in the fourth,
two in the fifth and two in the
sixth."
Mount Forest used the same
three twirlers they trotted out
here Saturday — McKenzie, e
southpaw, Tanaka and Noble..
None of them was particularly
effective, although they had nine
strikeouts to their credit,

CLINTON LIONS
CAPTURE FIRST
JUVENILE FINAL
Clinton Lions went one game
up on Mount Forest in their best
three -in -five WOAA Juvenile
"A" Baseball championship series
when they trounced the visitors
12-1 in the first match in Clinton.
Saturday evening.
The second game was played in
Mount Forest Tuesday, with the
third match in Clinton tomorrow
(Friday) at 5.30 p.m.
Russ Holmes' youngsters play-
ed a lovely geme of ball and.
deserved their victory, but per-
haps by a less one-sided count.
It was three -tip -and -three down
for three straight innings for
Lions, but they tallied two in
the fourth and from then an
always were in the lead.
The Mount Forest kids looked
like a ball team until they start-
ed to have "butter fingers," and
they helped the Clinton cause no
end by racking up no less than
eight errors.
Clare Maltby went the route
for Lions and besides fanning
eleven visitors, contributed e
home run to deep left in the
sixth over the fence. He had
full control of the situation at
all times, and was given excel-
lent support behind' the bat by
"Toby" Taylor.
The visitors threw a trio of
twirlers at Lions. Southpaw
Grant McKenzie stayed in until
Maltby knocked his homer in
the sixth, when Bob Noble mov-
ed over from first base. When
he allowed two hits and walked
a man in the eighth, Tanaka, a
14 -year-old Japanese -Canadian,
took over and got his three men
out. He had more "stuff" than
either of the others.
Incidentally, the "gate" was
$1.50 short of looking after the
umpires' take of $13. They came
from Wingham and did a good
job.
