Sports seen
Baseball booms
By BOB, ..ScHRQAPgR
In last week's column we made mention of
The fact that the Exeter Mohawks were making a
strong return to the hardball wars after a number
Of years of rather ineffective action, in looking
over the he es and lineups of the other area
teams we note that this revival of the intermediate
club is typical. of a great many other teams. The
popolarity of the sport of baseball has reached
large-scale proportions.
Interest of both players and spectators has
been revived recently in the area after a relatively
quiet period for the• past few years. Although we
are not well-acquainted with happenings of former
days, according to a sporting figure who should
know (Derry Boyle by name), this resurgence of
interest in the sport of baseball is typical of the
situation in the early 50's when baseball was prat:-
tieally the only sport in the area.
A quick count of the teams this year shows
that there are at least 24 teams competing in
various leagues and. with an average of 10 or 11
players per team, this works out to about 250 men.
women and children who are enjoying their favor-
bite summer sport.
Typical of this . new-found popularity of the
sport is the situation here in Exeter, A number of
years ago the only teams from. Exeter participating
in any league play were the minor teams of pee-
wee, bantam and midget categories. These three
teams played an average of once a week and so
the local diamond would be in use possibly two
nights a week.
Now, however, this has changed radically.
On any evening you can go to the local ball park
and see at least one and often two games being
played at the same time, This is in marked con-
trast to the situation a few years ago and is cer-
tainly a credit to those sports-minded persons of
the community who have worked long and hard to
bring about this change.
This season's resurgence in the sport was
sparked by the fine ball program put forward by
Recreation Director Don Gravest for public school
children. The Rec Director instigated an "after-
four" baseball set-up for both boys and girls and
the success of the plan is indicated by the fact that
approximately 150 youngsters participated in the
various leagues.
Exeter again this year has minor Learns
competing in three categories and all three are
doing well at the present time. This too is a far
cry from recent years. We can remember our play-
ing days in midget ranks when one year we had
-difficulty finishing out the schedule and another
year we didn't finish.
However, the most striking change in the
ball picture in Exeter is in the program for the
"older folks" (older than we are that The
Recreation. Softball League has proved to be a boon
for the men of the area and community who wish

of the most popular around and provides an en-
thusiastic summer pastime. Three teams from Ex-
eter—Legion, Kinsmen and Lanes—and one from
Crediton are currently battling it out in the well-
balanced league.
The local ladies have also taken to the dia-
mond again and are competin g in a four-team
league with Centralia, Brucefield and Clinton. The
Exeter Greys are playing a very high standard of
softball as can be attested by the convincing scores
they register over opposinrt
b
clubs. They are being
rewarded in their efforts by the number of fans
who are turning out to watch them in action. (Al-
though there may be some ulterior motives for it,
we noticed recently that the Greys drew as many
spectators to their game as the Mohawks who were
also playing the same eveningi.
The baseball scene in Crediton is once more
becoming active. Crediton used to be a great base-
ball centre and now the members of that fine.
community are strivi.'g to put baseball back in its
position of eminence. The Crediton representative
in the Liniment Softball loop is currently leading
the league and the Crediton midgets certainly rate
as one of the best in their league.
Zurich still keeps going with their Lumber
Kings while Hensall has developed an excellent
minor system for the youngsters of the community
as well as coming up with another con'ender in
the Huron-Perth.
The baseball picture for area participants
appears to be bright. However, any team needs the
support of the populace in order to continue, So
again this week, on behalf of all the area teams.
we ask the people of the area to give support to
their respective teams. The price of admission, if
any, is nominal and the brand of baseball played
merits all the enthusiasm we can muster,
ON THE GREENS, BOWLING-WISE
With the topic of the day tending to lean
towards renewed activities. we should note the re-
vival of the Exeter Lawn Bowling Club.
Although the sport of lawn bowling never
did completely fade from the summer sports
scene, it has boon recently revitalized and this
summer its popularity has grown immensely. The
large number Of participants who journey to the
local greens on Tuesday and Saturday evenings is
proof enough of the interest maintained by the
many members of the club.
The Exeter club also staged a very success-
ful. tournament on the local greens last 'Wednesday
for rinks from the Western Ontario ,area and its
Success was largely due to the time and effort put
into it by the many hard-working members of the
