Tiger Tales To say Tiger pitcher Scott Bailey is an enigmatic figureis the understatement of the year. Bailey, the "year-old ace hurler at the second-year club. has this habit of all“ along impressively." the mound, and then shovelling himself in large holes through mental or physical errors. Like last Wednes- dartdsen he hootdd'two hunts in the ninth to load the bases before ‘calmly setting the visiting Kitchener Panthers down to end the game. Bailey is more often than not Wtroubkr at least once' during a game, but because of nerves of steel and his amazing durability. is usually around to work himself out of it. “I knew I got myself in a tiiht jam, and also knew! had to bear down and \do something about it," said Bailey at Wednesday's nailbiter. "Besides, I work better under pressure." Bailey. by the way, is pitching despite recurring back problems. He ripped muscles in his lower back last year against Kitchener and although it continued to nag him even as recent as a week ago, he tends to ignore it during games.

In the Kitchener eighth he got the final out on a spiralling foul ball that came within inches of the screen. But only moments before he threw out Ric Kressler at third when Tom Hoch tried to start a dou- ble steal of second. Dix pumped once and Kressler, thinking he was going to throw, started for home, but Dix threw to Thico Silvestri and the third baseman relayed it back to him in time to tag Kressler. - "We figured they would try it (doable steal)," said Dix. "When I went out to the mound. Dave Byers asked me if I was going to throw to second and I said yes." l So what happened, Gary? "On the way back to the plate I changed my mind." Dave Dixes home run was quite a shot, but paled in comparison to the one Dan Collison yanked over the fence for the Waterloo Expos Saturday against Brant- ford VI‘VD'Id you see that one go out of here?" said a grinni- ng Collison after, the game. “I thiok I got all of it."

It was rumored to be out by Bridge Street hitching a ride to the Grand Hotel to drink away its hangover. Pitcher-first baseman Al Benson of Cambridge was the I-C loop's first player of the week.
