R. 1 Ohsweken, has proved herself champion, and the large array of imposing trophies and medals at her home is ample proof. Here is a list of her principal awards: Simcoe Tournament Championship Trophy 1967 Simcoe Merchants Trophy, Tournament Champ. 1967 Canadian Sr. Women Softball Championship, Vancouver, 1967 Canadian Sr. Women Softball 1967 Top Batter, Vancouver. Inscribed Shield awarded by Ontario Athletic Commission, Ladies Sr. Softball Champions Toronto 1967 The Centennial of Canada Bronze Medal 1967 Canadian Champion 1967 Ontario Silver Medal. Canada Gold Medal 1967 A Bulova Watch Co. award (Bulova watch) at the C.N.E.1967 1968 All Ontario Sr. A All Stars Trophy Ft. Erie 1968 Canadian Women Softball Champions (Winnipeg) 1968 All Ontario Sr. A Champions, Toronto 1968 Canadian Amateur Softball Association award. As a child of 10, Phyllis started playing ball. Her father, Alfred, at that time was the pitcher for the Caledonia baseball team. For practice he frequently in spare time pitched at home to any available catcher. One day with no one available, Phyllis ventured, "I'll catch the ball for you, daddy," said daddy, "by the end of the month Phyllis was catching the ball as hard and fast as I could throw." She has been a prime catcher ever since. Now Miss Phyllis Bomberry is a champion of Canada. Congratulations on your remarkable success to Phyllis from Tekawennake. We take great pride in your tremendous record. Three Six Nations teams reach finals Three Six Nations teams reached the finals in the Ontario Minor Baseball Association "D" group - the tykes, the peewees and the bantams. The opening games of the final series were played this past weekend at the Cayuga Longhouse ball grounds. On Saturday at 2 p.m. Six Nations tykes played Wheatley. Although they lost only one game this season the Six Nations tykes were defeated by a decisive score of 8-3. The Weatley tykes appeared 2 sizes larger and they brought along ten carloads of rooters to boost them on. The Six Nations team started off fine, but a misplay in about the 5th inning allowed four runs. Their confidence wavered and the few rooters were unable to restore them, even so, they appeared a great little team. The coach was Ranson Jamieson. The return game will be played at Wheatley next Sunday. Supporters are hoping to charter a bus. The Pee-wees Six Nations vs Fenwick played at 4 P.M. Six Nations Pee-wees won by a close score of 2-1. The rooters were there to cheer them on and the players were in control from beginning to end. The game appears largely to hinge on the pitcher and Albert Martin did a fine job in that capacity. Their manager is Dave LaForme and coaches are Frank Demille and Lloyd Martin. They have done an excellent job with this brisk team. The return game will be played at Fenwick next Saturday. It will be an exciting-one. There was a good turnout with plenty of rooters for the Bantam game on Sunday afternoon at the Cayuga Ball Park. The Six Nations Bantams played Merlin Bantams, with the former team winning by a score of 7-4. The second game is scheduled at Merlin next Sunday. The manager of Six Nations Bantams is Jim Styres with coach Bruce White. This is the best two games out of three series. TWO BIG GAMES TO END THE SEASON: Tues. Sept. 17.
