At present there is but one point separating the two squads. The locals have one game to play against Clinton Radar while Dashwood has two—one against Clinton Colts and the other against the Airport, If Exeter wins this Wednesday night in the last game they will stand a .good’ chance of leaving Dashwood behind, However, if they lose, Dashwood will only need to win one, and the they are going right now could give either of the teams left to play a real battle, Last Friday night in Exeter, the Dashwood nine handed the locals .................... “ sco/ed of the in the home last week they were no match for their rivals of the moment.

Centralia R.C.A.F. will meet Seaforth in the best three out of five, and Wingham is to meet either Listowel or Sebringville. The airport nine are certainly playing under a handicap with boys on" leave, and Armstrong still nursing a split finger. The most recent injury was Sasso, who broke a bone in ,his ankle while, base running in the last game. Pat Carragher, starry little third baseman has been doing a splendid job of relief catching for the injured catcher. Juggled Ball This rule is the same in both baseball and softball, and on a IF you are considering a new Chesterfield Suite you won’t want to overlook this money- Saving sale of these Kroehler two-piece specials. See them in our window. — . —.——...........■- -fl juggled ball play the runner is safe if he reaches the base dur­ ing the juggling of the ball, as the rules say; “The ball cannot be juggled even though the field­ er may regain possession of the ball and prevent same from dropping to the ground. Foul Tip The average baseball fan can­ not tell you what a foul tip is. The .rules define a foul tip as: “A ball batted by the batsman while standing within the lines of his position, th'at goes sharp and ’direct from the bat to the catcher’s hands, and is legally caught.’’ NOTE: If not caught it is simply a foul ball. Fielder Purposely Dropping Fly This rule was written to pro­ tect the base runners , from a fielder purposely dropping a fly ball to make a double play: “ If before two are out, while first or first and second, or first second and third bases are occupied, any .player,’ in the judgment of the umpire, fly ball or umpire the ball has been caught? Batter Hits Ball Twice If after having hit or bunted a .ball to fair territory, his hat again hits the. ball fair territory and course, the batter other base runners vance on the play. The Runner Is Out If in running the the distance from home base to first base, while the ball is being fielded at first side the three the opinion of feres with the throw at first he may run outside . the three foot lines to avoid a fielder at­ tempting to field a batted ball. Did You Know That 1. More people either play or watch softball than any other game in America. 2. It is harder to hit a fast softball than a fust baseball be­ cause a s oftball travels faster. 1 Remember the to the plate.) 3. The first played softball (Babe Dirickson pitcher who struck him .out. 4. Detroit Tigers are the League in last League Winners? This way it appears now the Clinton Colts are a sure in for top position in the Huron-Perth Intermediate Baseball standing, With two games left to play they have a four-point edge on the second place Luean Irish, Mitchell led the league moist of the season but fell down in the finishing drive. Of the three higher category “B” teams, Centralia, is tops and is in third position, Goderich is in fifth spot while Clinton Radar is on. the bottom. These three, along with St, Marys, who drew a bye, will playoff in a separate series, with Centralia the favor­ ite at present. In the “C” group, the first and fourth, second and fifth, and third and sixth will meet in the semi-finals, The . way the clubs stand now it means that either Exeter or Dashwood, de­ pending on who wins the first playoff berth, will meet either Mitchell oi’ Hensall. Mitchell is currently third in the “C” group standing but Hensall has three games to play this, week and is only two points behind Mitchell, What About It? We have heard several queries about Exeter’s newly formed re­ creational council. Several months ago this was a keen subject around town but of late it seems to be a dead issue. However, we hope this isn't the case. The sport situation in Exeter de­ finitely needs a shot in the arm. This community is being badly overshadowed by our neighbour­ ing rivals who are much smaller in population than we are. Lose In Zurich The kids played in Zurich last week and were handed a trim­ ming by the home club to the tune of 13-3. From all reports Zurich’s youthful Seibert did a neat job of hurling the winning performance. Exeter Girls Doing Well At least one local ball club is doing well and that is the girls’ club, entered in the district soft- ball. At present the lassies are in a three-way .fight for top position with Dashwood and Lucan. Dashwood at present has a slight edge, with Exeter’ a nose ahead of Lucan. Oh, To Be A Manager! It’s usually tough enough to be the manager of a winning team but when a club is on the losing end, the chap at the helm has plenty of headaches. Such is the case of manager Joe Creech of the local Intermediates. In the seventeen games played this season the locals have managed to tuck away only four of them. With very few reserves it’s a tough job juggling around the lineup in an effort to get a win­ ning combination., Add to this the fact that some of the lads are gamely carrying on despite leg injuries, you’ve got more than just a small problem. .Tom Sempk I J/GNS Trucks, Windows, Store Front Signs, Gold Leaf Lettering PHONE 155.M EXRTER Come and See The Lowest Priced English Car , On The Canadian Market the Ford Anglia Only $1,425 Have A Demonstration Ride Now Is the Time I TO FILL YOUR COAL BIN WHILE WE HAVE FUEL IN STOCK Don’t wait until you need it.
