Graind Bend Stable
Wins At Glencoe
Eric McIlroy’s horse racing
stable at Grand Bend made an ex
cellent showing at Glencoe races
last week.
Silver Peter, the horse local
fans will remember for its fine
performances on the Exeter track,
placed third each time in the
feature event. It was the second
race for the horse along his
comeback trail.
Merrywood Twinkle, favourite
of the McIlroy stable, was the
winner in the 2.22 event. She
ran the mile in 2.10 and 3/5.
Merrywood Direct, from
same stable, raced second
third and Callie G. Lee won
fifths in the 2.29.
Dune Campbell’s Argyle Grat
ton from Alisa Craig won the
2.17 pace with the fastest mile
of the current season, 2.0 9 1/5.

Locals Now In Fourth Streak
Exeter Intermediates are now
into their fourth groove this
season—but this one isn’t good.
The locals started the season
with a losiug streak and dropped
three before they hit
keel. Then they tied
row. As the days got
did the team and they
in a row. Now they
where they started—losing three
in a row.
The third loss came on Do
minion Day before a crowd of
between three and four thou
sand. Dashwood’s Robbie Wein
hurled a no-hitter against the
locals as the visitors piled up a
12-1 win.

The young liurler struck

Mrs. Leslie Moore of Winni
peg is visiting her mother, Mrs.
Scliroedre, for two weeks. Mrs.
Schroeder's friends and family
celebrated her seventy-fifth
birthday on Monday evening at
hei* home. She was the recipient
of many beautiful gifts,
gratulations are in order.
Mr. Laurence J o h n s o
ceived news of the sudden
ing of his mother, Mrs. Thomas
Johnson, of Parkhill on June 27.
The first truck loads of sev
eral hundred crates of lettuce
were taken from the marsh on
Saturday, in refrigerated truck,
to the Detroit markets. The
Grand Bend crop is two weeks
ahead of the Bradford marsh
this year and the growers are
looking forward to a bumper
crop of both lettuce and carrots
as the drought has affected the
inland crops adversely.
Grand Bend saw one of its
largest July 1 crowds. The wea
ther was very co-operative and
the midnight show and dance
held the crowds to the last min-

Mitchell Legicmaires, although
not tops in the standing, are
leading the league in won-lost
percentages. They’re in second
spot with six wins, no losses and
two ties.
Last week the Legionaires
whalloped St. Marys 21-4 in six
innings. The massacre started in
the third when the winners
scored seven runs. In the fourth
and fifth they counted another
ten.
Bradshaw, Dunsmore and
O’Brien tried fruitlessly to hold
the big bats. Hulley and Sadler
shared the win.
On Monday night, the Mitchell
crew stopped the red-hot Zurich
club 5-4.

Sharon Shows Greys
Heat Is No Bother
The Exeter Greys found good
stiff opposition in the undefeat
ed Sharon girls at an exhibition
game in town Wednesday night.
The visitors made 15 runs
against Exeter’s eight.
Fine fielding and batting were
mixed with lively playing as the
Sharon girls showed Exeter that
the warmest day of the year
didn’t bother them a bit.
The home town girls pulled
up their socks in the eighth in
ning to bring home three bat
ters but it was too late to break
down the solid consistency of
the Sharon nine. For Exeter,
Haworth batted two triples and
Hunter-Duvar, Taylor and Es

Sharon’s heavy hitters were
