:ivy has tied their series with
Zurich at a game each, and the
grand finale of the series will
tart at 2:30 Sunday afternoon.
in the Zurich ball park.
The Ivy ball park was well
filled, considering there are
just. a handful of people in the
,village. The Kings found it
strange playing on their dia-
mond. The Ivy park looked
small to the Zurich players with
the big difference being the
;:pace between home plate and
the back stop.
The Ivy backstop is about 10
feet from home plate. In Zur-
it is about three times as
far to the backstop as Ivy's.
This was a hig factor in the
gc.rne. Here Zurich ran wild
c the Ivy catcher, with 11
t:ase advances made on steals.
Passed balls and wild pitches.
In Ivy the Kings managed only
len advances.
The Ivy pitcher was wilder
than Zurieh's. and had he
pitched as wild here he would
have beer i.- real trouble with
lase runners a_ivancing easily.
ivy played sharp and pulled
a few key defensive plays.
_.,rich got caught napping a
c (:tyle of times and once Angus
'•icinte.sh goofed ,then he threw
the ball to one of the Ivy base-
r:inners. thinking he was a
teammate.
Sunday will finish the series
arid the screen may be a big
factor in Zurich's favor.

The 'possibility of having a
minor baseball team in Zurich
may become a reality next
year. Several people have been
.':inking about organizing a
:earn.
Zurich needs minor baseball
they want to keep intermedi
ate baseball alive in the village.,
'f :he youngsters play softball'
s::i their life. then have to
,, itch to baseball, they find;
the change a hard one to make,'
especially when they are only;
about 16 years old, But thea
have to do it if they want to
play ball because there is only
intermediate baseball and MAA
softball to play in Zurich.
Minor baseball is a must for
Zurich, and we believe it will
be a reality next season. Sena
eral potential players want it
and there are enough interested
people to organize it.
Skippin' Shorts
Talk is still floating around
about artificial ice and the pos-
sibility of organizing an inter-
mediate hockey team for the
coming season.
The artificial ice campaign
was not as successful as hoped,
with some canvassers still not
finished with their job. Around
$2,500 in donations and pledges
have been made, which is far
short of the set goal. If there
is no artificial ice installed in
Zurich. and it is now Septem-
ber, it is doubtful if there will
be an intermediate hockey team
for this year. There are a few
interested in organizing a town
league of three or four teams.
similar to the rec league the
Zurich team played in last year.
If a league is going to be
formed it should be done soon
because it takes a lot of talk
and meetings to get things
rolling.
We played in the Kincardine
Industrial League before mov-
ing Zurich and know how
hard it was to get things start-
ed every year. Every thing
was put off until the "last dog.
was hung" and rarely got prop-
erly organized. It takes time
to make special rules, get ref-
erees. score keepers, league of-
ficers. etc.. and time runs out
before you know it.
We think it would be wise to
organize a town league this
year and hope for artificial ice
for another season. then start
an intermediate team.

day but Monday their seemingly
small ball park was in fine
shape for a game. The home-
sters came up with a well-
earned win.
The final game of this series
will be played in Zurich, Sun-
day afternoon, at 2:30.
Jim Pfaff, on the mound for
Zurich, and Don Maw, Ivy's
hurler, pitched strong games
with Maw tossing a five hitter,
and Pfaff giving up six hits.
Pfaff, however, had better con-
trol and a hit batter and a walk
were the only free passes issued
by him, while Maw walked six
and threw several balls that
hit the dirt before reaching
home plate.
Ivy picked up two runs in
the second inning and added
their other run in the eighth.
Zurich's lone tally was record-
ed in the sixth inning.
Arnold led off the second
inning with a single for Ivy, but
was erased on a force play by
BIeck, after the second batter
struck out. Elliott singled and
Wilson was hit by a pitch to
load the bases. Centre -fielder
Money then lashed a single be-
tween third and short stop out
into right field to score Black
and Elliott. The next batter
reached base on an error but
no damage was done as Pfaff
got the next man . to ground
into a force play.
Bob Johnston's single started
the sixth inning for Zurich. He
was forced at second by Don
O'Brien. who grounded to the
short stop and barely evaded
a double play by a step at first
base. O'Brien stole second and
scored on Phil Overholt's sec-
ond double of the game.
George Ellis scored the other
Ivy run in the eighth inning,
after reaching base on Haggitt's
error. Haggitt made a good
play on the ball, a lazy fly over
the infield, but it popped out played in two hours.
of his glove when he fell after
grabbing it behind second base.
Black and Elliott came up with
back-to-back singles after two
were out to score Ellis.
The game was a good, close
contest and could have gone
either way. More fans than the
village's population turned out
for the contest, which was
