The Tigers had whallope<l the Flyers in two exhibition games earlier. Curve-ball artist Guay, Cen­ tralia’s pitcher, held the losers to three hits. He helped his cause with a booming triple in the ninth. Cosseau led the Flyers’ hitting with three for four, while Dick Regier paced Dashwood with two for four. Coach Ken McRae had to go behind the plate in the ninth When Jiin Hayter was thrown out of the game for arguing too vigorously with the umpire. The loss is the third for Dash­ wood, who won the league cham­ pionship last year. It was the first win for Centralia. Young Hurlers Sparkle As Zurich, Exeter Tie Royals Continue Unbeaten String Strathroy continues to lead the Huron-Perth. The Royals defeat­ ed Seaforth 14-5 Friday to main­ tain their unbeaten streak. Mitchell also claims an un­ defeated record. They walloped Clinton RCAF 13-1 on Monday night. Centralia Flyers are making a strong bid this year. After losing a bad one to Stratliroy 18-4, they reversed form and edged Dash­ wood 7-4 and Clinton RCAF 8-5. Two. young hurlers dueled to a draw Tuesday night when Exeter Legion Mohawks and Zurich Lum­ ber Kings tied 2-2 in a nine- inning battle, - Exeter’s Steve Mitrp and Zur­ ich’s Ron Heimrich handcuffed their seniors in a neck-and-npck mpund battle. Mitro fanned 15 over the rpute while Heimrich struck put 11. Both hurlers allowed only four hits and were seldom in trouble Only one hit went for extra bases. All four runs were cheap, ones. The Lumber Kings scored their two in the first inning with the help of an error. Doug O’Brien scored on a passed ball after hit­ ting a single as lead-off man. Don O’Brien came home on Pete Masse’s single after an error al­ lowed li'im to reach first. Jack Elson scored Exeter’s first run in the second inning. He worked a walk out of Heim­ rich, stole second and third bases and came home when Meharg hit a sharp grounder. Bob Wade scored the tying run in the eighth after hitting a safety. He reached home plate on a wild pitch. Pete Masse hit a double, the only extra-base clout of the game.

On walking down Main Street, one can’t help but hear the sharp twang of metal striking metal. One would almost be led to be­ lieve that Exeter was blessed with a blacksmith shop—an edi­ fice that is almost a thing of the past. If you are of the nosey type and follow your nose, you would find this to be true and you would be surprised to see gushes of smoke drifting skyward from behind the shop. Being nosey, of course, you want to see the vanishing re­ mains of a once lucrative trade and the bellows at work encour­ aging the head of the flame to a higher intensity. You round the corner and lo and behold!There it is in all its rustic glory—a horseshoe court. Seated around in small groups on plank benches, small groups of very contented-looking gentlemen talking and puffing on their pipes awaiting their turn to take on the winners of .the games be­ ing played. You ■ are interested because everyone seems so relaxed and enjoying themselves. Edging clos­ er and taking in the scene, one would think the game is easy. One fellow throws his two shoes at a stake 40 feet distant and, of course, you feel pretty sharp when you figure to yourself the object of the game is to get your two shoes as close to the peg as possible. You realize the sharp sound of the metal striking metal as you walk down the Main Street is the result of the con­ testants hitting the peg with the horseshoe. Th-e next fellow throws his shoe and it fits right around the peg—and the next one is thrown and it fits around the peg again. Complimentary exclamations are heard and as his partnei* removes the shoes from the stake, he yells “Six for A” and an old gentle­ man picks up what looks to be a cribbage board and moves the peg six notches forward. One doesn’t feel so smug now because there are too many un­ answered questions and one real­ izes it isn’t luck when that shoe turns one and a half times in its flight and lands straddling the peg for a ringer. First thing I knew I had sub­ consciously edged a little too close with the result I was chal­ lenged and then and there I real­ ized just how much skill is re­ quired to play the game. Yes, the game of horseshoes flourishes in Exeter and it does you good to see people relaxed and enjoying themselves—recreation at its best, I understand they have a good club—even have lights to play at night—and a small membership fee is charged and it is open to all ages. And how well I know new’s travels in Exeter. The day following my first attempt at horseshoes, I was challenged to a game by two 14-year-old boys. I would have taken the challenge but I’m afraid I would become too involved, liking it as I do. And as yet my wife hasn’t culti­ vated a Voice as my mother had for calling me to my evening meal.x Hats off this week to Gerry Cornish and his crew of Punch and Kelly, and especially Dick Hunter, who did a fine job of laying the tile for the baseball diamond. Mr. Hunter was the sparkplug Who got the project moving and stayed With it until it was finished. I hope we can reward you for yonr efforts by taking our first home game to­ morrow night BASEBALL TIPS This week we will deal with the first baseman. 1. Work on your footwork and reach to meet the throw. 2. Stretch to meet every throw. 3. On low throws use the glove as a stationary shovel. 4. Practice on the “tough ones”. 5. If the throw is to the left, stride to meet it with the left foot—if to the right, stride with right foot. 6. Keep your eye on the ball. 7. Know where the base is at all times. 8. Watch for the catcher’s sig­ nal for a throw from the pitcher to catch a man with a leadoff. 9. Be alert for bunts. 10. Develop an under-arm throw to third base on bunts. 11. Play close to base line on left-handed batter. Duties Of First Baseman 1. No one on—play about 10 feet buck and 12 feet in from baseline. 2. Man on first, none out— stay at base, look for a throw from pitcher, move in on bunt. 3. Men on first and second, none away—stay 10 feet back and 10 feet in from baseline. Look for bunt or double-play possibility. 4. Bases loaded, none out— move in to cut off run at home plate. 5. Man on first, one out— don’t expect a bunt, move away from base when ball is thrown by pitcher.
