The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1954-06-24, Page 3THE TIMES-ADVOCATE, EXETER, ONTARIO, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 24, 1954 Page 3 Former Dashwood Star Mohawks Sign Ray Yelle To Bolster Mound Staff Exeter Legion Mohawks bol­ stered their mound staff this week by signing Ray Yelle, for­ mer Dashwood Tiger star who pitched the past three seasons in I I---------------------------------------II Garages Sunday and Evening Service Open this Sunday, Wednes­ day afternoon, and during the evenings throughout the week: Snell Bros. Ltd. GARAGE the Cleveland Indian chain. Yelle will probably get his first starting assignment Friday night when the Mohawks meet Clinton RCAF on the local diamond. The big righthander from Park­ hill was cut from the Indian training camp this spring because of a sore arm. He was with Lon­ don Majors for several w^eeks be­ fore being released. Yelle, along with Steve Mitro, will give Manager Red Loader two top pitchers in the league besides the two good local hurl- ers, Bob Russell and Chuck Par­ sons. Mohawks' game against $t. Marys Monday night was can­ celled because of rain. The tribe played Mitchell Legionaires Wed­ nesday night. Upsets Mark See Tuffy And His Alligators At The July I Celebration H-P Play Upsets were plentiful this past week as the Huron-Perth passed the one-third mark of the sched­ ule. Mitchell Legionaires whalloped OBA “D” champions Dashwood Tigers 11-0 last week. The Tigers blew apart with 11 errors. The Legionaires are how well out front in the standing. Clinton RCAF, not considered a contender this year, turned the tables on Mitchell by tieing them 5-5. The airmen are now in sec­ ond spot. iStrathroy, a young, inexper­ ienced team labelled as weak this year, edged Exeter Legion Mo­ hawks 6-5 Friday night. In other games during the week, Zurich Lumber Kings stayed in top contention with a 5-4 win over St. Marys. The Zur­ ich crew has only lost one tilt. Clinton airmen edged Strath- roy 8-7 Tuesday night. Mohawks Receive Royals Surprise Mohawks t o o k the lowly Strathroy Royals too lightly Fri­ day night and the visiting prow surprised the tribe with a 6-5 win.Manager Red Loader shuffled the team around to test his var­ ious and sundry cohorts but the experiment didn’t click. The team bobbled seven times and failed to hit in the clutches. Only bright spot for the tribe was the play of Loader himself. The aggressive second baseman put himself into the game in the fifth, hit a single and triple in two trips to the plate and hand­ led a hot grounder well. George Evans hurled and clout­ ed the Royals to victory. He struck out eight Mohawks, al­ lowed nine hits and slammed a two-run homer and double. Lome Graham and Bob Paterson hit two each for the winners. Bob Russell started against I the Royals. He struck trouble in i the second when Evans hit his i round - tripper but he pitched brilliantly out of a spot by fan­ ning three after his teammates committed four miscues to fill the bases. Russell got by the third inning easily but was hit for two doubles and a single in the fourth. Chuck Parsons re­ lieved him and finished the route, allowing the winning run in the fifth. Mohawks scored two in the third, two in the sixth and one in the seventh. Lorne Haugh hit Classes Almost Filled For Local Horse Races An early flood of entries for Exeter Horse Races on Wednes­ day, July 7, assures keen com­ petition in all classes, Bill Alli­ son, secretary of the local Turf Club, said this week. “Almost all our classes have been filled already,’’ Mr. Allison stated. “From the enthusiasm shown by horsemen, I’m sure our races are going to be tops.” The club is accepting eight en­ tries in each of the 2.19, 2.21, 2.23 and 2.25 classes. There have been so many horses applying for the 2.30 event that the Turf Club will probably split the class into two divisions of eight each, The four top classes will go for a purse of $500 each, .The prize money for the 2:30 is $400. For the first time in many years, a free-for-all event will not be held. Reason for this, accord­ ing to officials, is because the open race lacks competition, this year. The 2,19, fastest event on the card, will have a full entry and competition will be keen. The local track, regarded by many as one of the tops in West­ ern Ontario, is in the best shape it’s ever been, horsemen say.

The proceeds from the big Dominion Day pro­ gram are used for this purpose. The playground is commonly recognized as a play area for children’s use. On the other hand, any of the facilities and parks may be used for many othei- pur­ poses—by young people and by adults Mothers and fathers are wel­ come to participate in the pro­ gram, or to take in the special event days every Friday. Mothers may bring their very small child­ ren to play in the sand box, use the swings or slides, or sit in the shade, Church group meetings, youth rallies or picnics may be held in our beautiful parks. However, the mainstay of our playground is to provide a wide and varied program of activities —a well balanced program taking into consideration fun, safety, health and character of the child­ ren. Skills acquired in the play­ ground in childhood or youth are often used in leisure activities throughout life. Contributes To Safety The playground contributes to the safety of children and, by attracting the children to super­ vised areas, we are greatly re­ ducing the hazard of street acci­ dents. The opportunity and incentive which the playground affords for long periods of varied activity in. ;the sunlight and open air are of ’ great health value to children. Participation in strenuous sports, under careful supervision, provision of quiet activities dur­ ing the hottest hours of the day and the building of stronger bodies through team games are among the contributions which the playground make to the health of children and youth.- The playground contributes to character through the develop­ ment of right habits, attitudes and responses in the various play activities. The Exeter playgrounds are open to all children from three to 16 years and if you have friends or relatives visiting be sure to send their children to the playground. Six Supervisors Six supervisors will be in charge of the playgrounds. New additions to our staff this year are Bill Pollen and Jane Farrow. All supervisors will be attending camp along with approximately 80 other supervisors from all over Western Ontario for a five- day period of playground train­ ing. Queen and Victoria Parks will be supervised two days each week and on Friday our special events day will be held at the Kinsman Playground. The Kin playground will be supervised from Monday to Friday each week. The program will have a theme. For instance, “On Wheels” week last year was very success­ ful: all crafts, music, games, dress-ups, stories, etc. referred to the idea “wheels” and all week long the children worked at this theme. On Friday a day long pro­ gram consisting of our church service, contests, games, a dress- up parade, sing-song on the li­ brary lawn, bicycle rodeo, etc., was carried out. Our swimming program is hot yet finalized but when it is, children will be given circulars with all necessary information to take home to parents. Attract Older Kids We are endeavoring to plan a well-rounded program sufficiently attractive to draw out the older boys and girls. Such things as golf, puppetry, glee club, drama, folk and square dancing and trades camp will be the incentive needed, I believe. Day camping in all probality will be a great attraction. Child­ ren with written permission from their parents will meet and leave from the playground in the mor­ ning and hike to a chosen site. For a day in the country, each child will be responsible for his or her lunch. After a day of fresh air and sunshine, nature study and play, sessions of camp­ craft and first aid, they will re­ turn home in time for dinner in the evening. The grand finale will be in the form of a monster demonstration called “Young Canada Revue”, a display depicting all phases of our playground program. The date will be Labour Day. Remember, the curtain goes up on Registration Day Friday, July 2, at all parks and goes down on Labour Day—ten weeks of supervised play covering social, cultural, physical, spiritual and mental phases of your child’s character and well being.
