When injuries forced the start ing battery to take less active positions in the field, a new battery came in and carried on with the whitewashing of the stone town crew. Joe Mitro started for the locals but pulled out at the start of the second when a hot grounder bit his finger. Brother Steve came in from third base and displayed some impressive fireballing for the other five innings. Ray Kretzman handled Joe be hind took ning sore him and made a creditable show ing. Another bright spot in the tilt was the hitting of Harry Holtz man, Meharg and Bob Wade. Harry smashed the first homer of his career in his first trip to the plate, and both he and Me harg hit two for three on the night to boast an impressive .800 batting average. After going bone-dry in his first game, Bob Wade started his mark climbing with a two for four night. Shortstop Doug Smith got his first hit of the season and this, along with two walks, gave him a perfect swinging game. Holtzman started the Mo hawk's victory with his homer in the second. The locals held their one run advantage until the fifth when Bob Wade singled and came home on two errors to stretch the lead to two. In the sixth, Smith, Kretzman and Wade singled and all managed to make the pay-off plate. St. Marys’ biggest threat came in the second inning when the leadoff batter, Hall, rapped a double off Steve Mitro's first fling and several pitches later, the plate at the start and Steve’s offerings for an in- before he retired with a arm. Bob Meharg replaced I third. The young right- the next > and he stole hander showed clutch strength, however, and forced I two batters to pop up fanned the third. Although the stone reached a base in each succeeding innings, Mitro was never again in serious trouble. Don Ellis, St. Marys' centre fielder, pulled the most spectacu lar play of the game when he caught Steve Metro’s long smash running at top speed away from the plate. Although the locals had enough batting power to easily best the St. Marys crew, they still showed a lack of clutch hitting. Best example was in the fourth when Mohawks had the towners of the bases loaded with none out failed to score. EXETER ST. ST. Duns Ellis, Fox, Hall, O'Briei Mossip Ellis, .... ,...........

Base Running When you are on one of the bases and a short fly ball is hit, runner should take up a half way position towards next base. By doing this, you can go to next base if ball is missed return to the base you were if ball is caught. On long balls, tag up, or hold your base, until ball is caught. Listen to your base coach. I was justly reminded of this last Sunday in the game with RCAF. I was on second. Bob laid down a good sacrifice bunt along the first base line to get me to third and to get on himself. But I rounded third and headed for home forgetting about the base coach.' Consequently, I was caught flat-footed at home. No matter how good you are or how good you think you are, listen' to your coach. Do not steal with a weak hitter at bat. Do not steal when you are a few runs behind. Take about an off with a right Take about a with a left hand Leadoff third into foul tory—worry the pitcher. Sliding Straight slide—used on forced piay. It is the quickest way of reaching base. Get body down low. Relax. Touch bag with for ward foot. Use under leg as a cushion in a bent position.

Summer Program The surplus money Minor Hockey Assoc, was allocated by the town’s service clubs, who sponsored this project, to minor sports. And thus was born the minor athletic association to govern and foster minor athletics in Exeter. A program of sports has been drawn up for the mornings, Mon day to Thursday of every week during the summer months. This consists of: Girls: Softball, organized teams and house league; posture, health habits, calisthenics, water safety, gymnastics, organized games, volleyball, shuffleboard ping pong, campcraft, organized games. Boys: Baseball, organized teams and house league as well as an all-star midget team and all-star bantam team, gymnastics, calisthenics, campcraft, shuffle boxing and j, water organized On the a throw plate once to home, you have from the calisthenics, board, volleyball, road work, ping pong, safety, first aid, games. A schedule of these activities will be included in all registra tion forms being sent out. Keep these schedules. I believe a wide and varied program such as this should take in all boys and girls itt the community. That goes for every handicapped child as well. There is a place for everyone. You can help by letting ane help. The Kinsmen have hired me as playground director and I will act in that capacity during the afternoons. I understand Taylor and her staff had a very good program last year everyone is SoiTy she won’t be back. Derry Bbyle, who lias done a his midget helm of the this year his the Ontario luck» Derry, you and the Jean. and terrific job with club, will be at the midgets again.
