The annual meeting is scheduled to take place at Nobieton Community Centre, September 20, at 8 Horticultural Society By MARG BOUGHTON In the deciding game of the OASA Squirt Zone Three playdowns, Thornhill Canac Cardinals were eliminated by Lindsay by a 3 to 0 score. In a pitching duel between Jonathan Angel and Doug Sharman. the two teams were able to get only four hits, three for Lindsay and one for the local boys. Shar- man was in complete control of the game and retired the first 14 batters in order. Thornhill managed to get only three runners on base, two by errors and one by a bunt single by Adrian Smith. Lindsay got two runs in the third inning when, after two were out. Howell walked and Calder lined a single to left field. Both runners advanc- ed and scored on passed balls. There was no further scoring until the sixth when Howell led off with a walk and Calder singled to right. Both runners advanced on 3 passed ball, and Howell scored the third Lindsay run on a wild pitch. Thomhill started off the seventh with a hunt single by Smith and an error on Greg Pacek's sharp single to left put runners on first and second. The next two batters were retired without advanc- ing the runners. The Lind- say pitcher faced only 25 bat- ters in the seveanning game. _ Lindsay will now meet the winners of Zone one and two. The Cardinals will get back into their regular schedule with a game against Stouff- ville to decide first place in the York-Simcoe Scuth Div- ision. Playoffs in this div- ision should start this week. THORNHILL TAKES FIRST GAME OF FINALS After two games in the Zone Three Championship, each team'won on their home diamond. In the first game played at the Grandview dia- mond. the Cardinals took the lead in the first inning and never looked back, winning the game 12-3. They scored three runs in the first, six in the third and added three more in the sixth. Lindsay got single runs in the first, third and seventh innings. The locai boys had 13 hits, including eight for extra bases. Greg Pacek and Jon- athan Angel had three hits each The' second game, played in Lindsay, saw both teams play tight defensive ball, witn neither team able to get a run home until the sixth inn- mg. Greg Pacek led off the l'xth with a double, followed One of the suggestions was using a mirror to intrigue him. So one was set up just inside the living room at the patio. It did not intrigue him but we walked into the room and found a young rac- coon considering the mirror.

Miss Betty McCol- gan was the director. There was a staff of 21, nine teach- ing adults, nine teen-agers assisting, and three floaters who besides being resource personnel, were the director, the music director Mrs. 150- bel Keighley, and the art director Mrs. Eileen Menzel. The attendance was 55-60 and it kept up throughout the week. It was a very happy school. This is easy . . . what a picture that made! On the other hand he has started chasing other 'birds.

One parent remarked her two children had been so happy all week! (Parents were invited to drop in at any time to see what was going on. and they took advantage of the invitation.)

Thom- hill could not get an attack going in the seventh, leaving Adrian Smith on first. In the bottom of the seventh, Angel struck out the first batter. But two successive hits and two errors allowed Lindsay to push the winning runs across the plate. The final score was 3 to 2 for Lindsay. Hits were scarce in this game, each team getting only five hits. CANAC CARDINALS ELIMINATE AURORA The Thornhill Canac Car- dinals advanced to the Zone finals by edging out Aurora in the third game of their series. Both teams exhibited some good plays and went 11 innings before the home team could get the one run mar- gin of victory. Aurora started out strong- ly and led 4 to 1 early in the game. The Cardinals came back with two runs in the bottom of the third and two more in the sixth to take a one run lead. In the top of the seventh, Aurora tied the score at five-all when Doyle singled and came home on Ing’s triple. The eighth and nineth innings were scoreless with the sides being retired in order. In the top of the 10, Ing was safe on an error and later scored to put the vis- itors one run up. Jonathan Angel hit a 5010 home run to tie the score again in the bottom of the tenth. Aurora got two runners on base in the 11 but could not score before the third out was made. Chris Beaumont lead off the bottom of the 11 with a single, went to second on a wild pitch, was sacrificed to third and scored the win- ning run when Chris Gove lined a single into centre field. Final score was '7 to 6 for the Cardinals. Chris Gove and Jonathan Angel shared the spotlight for the winners. Gove drove in three runs, including the winner. with a double and a single. while Angel drove in two runs. Angel also pitched a strong game in going the distance, giving up 11 hits and striking out seven. HIGH TIME â€"- by Louise Hillary.
