Bob Absent Jim Rombough Karl Sihoonen and Dave Brown Hot time in Georgetown Industrial Fastball tournament An Industrial league fastball tournament always seems to have a flavour of its own to set it apart from other tour naments where teams of a higher calibre axe Involved The unexpected becomes the expected Teams given little chance of winning often come up with superlative per formances and of course the fiercely partisan fana can always be relied upon to stir up should an unwanted calm set In The annua Georgetown Industrial Fastball League Tournament held at the Georgetown Park over the weekend was no exception to the rule and the championship final which pitted Glen Williams against Perks Barber Shop provided a fitting if somewhat anticlimatic ending to he The tournament got un derway Saturday morning and continued throughout he day As the dust settled on Saturday evening the tour nament ran true to form with several surprising decisions being handed in Curwood dropped both their games to Casselmans and to Peel Fence and were eliminated from further play The team from Erin caught everyone by surprise as they knocked off Random then continued their winning ways by drop ping Taurus Steakhouse of Brampton The luck of the draw had Glen Williams facing Peel Fence who have been Involved In the finals for the past several years but the local team defeated the Bramalea visiters and thus relegated them to the consolation division Defending champions Perks Barber Shop had an easy time in their first outing whipping Club Billiards 101 but were almost eliminated from the tournament by Norval The game waa tied at the end of the regulation five Innings but Perks were given the nod to advance on the basis of their having nine base runners to s five the first day drew to a close the Flyers Curwood Taurus Steakhouse and Random had been eliminated Club Billiards Kinsmen and Peel Fence remained In the battle for the consolation championship while Perks Barber Shop Erin and Glen Williams advanced In the championship round The third round byes went to Peel Fence In the consolation championship while Glen Williams was gi vena respite the championship series The semlflnala Tor both divisions were close affairs as Perks downed Erin and the Kinsmen slipped by Club Billiards The stage was now set for the finals with Peel Fence meeting the Kinsmen and Perks facing Glen Williams In the consolation final superior pitching allowed Peel Fence to lave the diamond 52 winners It should be remembered however that the Kinsmen were not even mentioned as possible con tenders before the tournament started and their scrappy hustling play gained hem many new fans If they con tinue in the same vein in regular season industrial league play they could become a team to contend with As mentioned the cham pionship final was a bit anti- climatic effectively over by the fifth Inning It had been expected that he Glen team would be one of the finalists in pre- tournament predictions but what was really not ex pected was that Perks would advance as far as they did They are currently in sucth place in the Industrial league standings and credit for their tournament performance must resl on the shoulders of Bob He pitched In all Ihree of the teams wins prior to the championship game but he strain of IB Innings In a day and ahalf left him ineffective in the final Young Jeff Haines of tho Glen deserves full marks as well as It waa the strength of his right arm which carried his team to the championship laurels In be final the Glen struck for seven runs In the opening two innings to put a damper on Perks championship hopes Perks fought back with four runs In the third inning but It was their last gasp as the combination of Jeff Haines and a strong hit ling display by the whole Glen team settled the Issue The final score in the championship game was Glen Williams 12 Perks Barber Shop 5 The many fans who look In the two days of the tournament were treated tor the most part find games For many the high standard of play was surprising as was the enthusiasm for the game shown by members of all teams Regular schedule play In the Industrial league now continues and It Is to be hoped that the fans that turned out for the tournament will con tinue to view industrial league ball The tournament was well organized and credit for
