For Ballard's it was the end of a long and successful sea- son. These fine young ball players had eliminated Co- bourg, Norwood, Kemptville (Last year's Champs)" and then MacTier before meeting Smithville, On Saturday night Ballards started slow as they fell be- hind 6-0 before they scored in the fifth inning. A home run by Reg. Manns in the seventh with 2 men on base made it 7-4. This set up the ninth inning rally which saw Port score twice but were unable to get the tieing run. Rick Beare came in to pitch after starter Doug Hughes ran into trouble. Rick was very steady as he allow: ed few hits. At the bat it was Rick Beare, Bill Wanamaker and Gene Hurest who were the real threats each time up. A Good crowd of Port Perry fans were on hand. The fans were a little upset over the umpiring as two calls at third were very questionable. Ballard's have enjoyed a great season. They had to battle in every series, losing the first game in all but one. That series was with Cobourg and after a 10-3 win at home they won 1-0 in Cold Springs, Cobourg's home diamond. They lost at home to Nor- wood 3-1, bounced back 6-4 and 2-1. They lost in Kemp- ville 7-5, won the next two 9-5 and 11-7. They lost 2-1 in MacTier then won 2-1 and 5-3. The Smithville series of 3-2 and 7-6 proves this club could have won it all. They were not sharp at home in the first game and Saturday night they were late in start- ing. but they rallied to go down battling. They could have won with a break. The players are to be con- gratulated for the fine soft- ball they played all year. They have carried the name of Port Perry and sponsor Ballard Lumber well. Sponsor John Ballard was disappointed on Saturday night and he had reason to 985-2581 For All Your Plumbing and Heating Needs CALL ART'S PLUMBING and HEATING R.R. #1, PORT PERRY Operated by ART (Pete) PETROZZ) Licenced Mechanic ATTENTION DX OI SAVE ..wnvpay more On Premium Quality GASOLINE -- DIESEL and MOTOR OILS Farm Tanks and Pumps Available Out of Oshawa, Whitby and District FARMERS!

Coaches Carl Luke and Mac MacMillan have done a great job with this club. - They de- served a better fate on Sat- urday but in home and home series this is often expected. It would be a thought to pre: sent at the O0.A.S.A. annual meeting that umpires be used from a neutral city or town. All umpires are supposed to be neutral but at home dia- monds they often lean a little. Congratulations to the en- tire club and be proud of your great showing. GREENBANK W. i.
