four games to three in an exciting final series Don Shannon who pitched three wins two by to scores was generally hailed as the hero of that memorable series In one of Dons to shutouts he shaded Orillia ace Jerry Udell by twirling twohitter After the teams were tied at three wins each Ivy won slugfest 11 to in the deciding game Along with Shannon Don McMaster starred on the mound while

teams made good showings Back in 1968 Allan Edgar piloted the anucks which beat out Midland Indians in the finals four games to one Leading pitcher in the league that year Bob Doner rose to the heights in the league finals when he stopped Midland to with twohittcr and also registered 5ft shutout victory iiuy Smockum who also ranked as one of the teams leading hitters pitched the other two Alliston victories in the finals blanking Midland to and then edging veteran Gordon Dy ment to in another hardfought contest Along with Smockum first baseman Wayne Storey and out fielder Dave Mortimer were top hitters Ray Ihibert at third also was standout Iaul Mason John Morrison Dave Evans John Bowerman Brian Bmoks and Mike Fairburn were among other players of that fine team who merited special mention The anucks had to battle all the way to win out In the first playoff round they were extended by Thornton Indians but managed to squeeze through three games to two Then Becton Beehives with John and Larry Gould both going strong on the mound put up strong opposition before going down in the fifth and deciding game of the semifinal series But as one Alliston fan remarked That was quite
