have poor luck
Two Exeter men, Graham

were among a party of seven
from the area who returned
home this week empty handed
after a week-long moose hunt-
ing expedition in the Cochrane
area.
The men motored 585 miles
north and went another 22 miles
by boat before reaching their
camp.
Others in the party. were
Clarence Morgan, Jim Payne,
Arnold Hughes and Don Gil-
bert, all of Ailsa Craig, and.
Cliff MacLean, Clandeboye.
All the men had to show for
their trip were numerous black
fly bites,

handle your rifle cautiously;
make sure of your target be-
fore you shoot.

DILL BATTEN, Sparta Editor
Walsingintm juveniles 'bunch-
ed three of their six hits into
a :four-run eighth inning In In-
gersoll, Saturday, to wrestle the
OM 'I)" Crown from the de-
fending champions NM lien'
sail by a 4.2 count,
The deciding game of the
best-of-three final was a real
heart-breaker for 15-year-old
Cameron MacDonald who had
allowed only three hits before
the fateful eighth.
The chunky right-hander had
poly been in trouble twice iii
the game until he allowed two
singles and a walk to load the
bases with one out in the frame.
This set the stage for short-
stop ,lim Gee to be the hero for
the winners as he uncorked
three run ,double and came
romping home on a wild, pitch
by reliefer Bill Shaddick.
Previous to his smash, Gee,
had been struck out twice by
MacDonald and had popped to
the infield in his other attempt.
Tight pitchers' duel
The well-Played lilt under
bright sunny skies on the neut-
ral field was. a real pitchers'
,ga.a..ziamiaa.mameaw.eatazawaceafv,
ft is certainly not our intention to take
anything away from the St. Marys track team who
so handily won the four-team Huron-Perth title on
Thursday, but we do think the lack of proper
training and spirit by the other competitors had
a bit to do with •the lopsided win.
There is no doubt but what J. B. Creeet's
school has some top track and field stars in their
hallowed halls of learning, but it is the fact that
they take it seriously that has so much to do with
their performances,
We doubt if the physical education depart-
ment at the Perth school spends any more time
in instructing their track stars than what is spent
at SHDHS or any of the other schools in the Con-
ference, •
In fact, it is our belief that on a general
high school level, only a certain amount of in-
struction can be given in track and field and then
it is up to the athlete to develop his own abilities
from there.
From our experiences at high school, we
know that the coaches do not have the time to
personally instruct every athlete, but must give.
their instruction on A general level to the .com-
petitors and then let the youths work these tips
into their training campaigns at the school after
classes or at home.
This apparently is what takes place at St.
Marys, but the cases of any individual effort at
SHDHS are few and far between and this is one.
reason why the locals placed so far behind the
winners.
A few minutes practise every night would
probably add inches to the marks established in
the field events, while it would also shave a few
seconds of the times the track stars posted.
And, after watching the meet at St. Marys,
we can say with authority that these inches and
seconds would have made quite a difference in
the final standings.
LACK SOME SPIRIT
While the SHDHS squad may have lost
some valuable points by not preparing properly
for the meet, we also have a feeling they lost a
few when some of their students failed to enter
events.
Last year's senior dash winner, Dale Tur-
vey, was a noticeable absentee from both the 220
and 100-yard events, while Dennis Mock, who
copped the intermediate crown at SHDHS last
year, entered only one event this season,
Some other SHDHS winners also failed to
show up for their events in the four-school meet,
and while they may not have won, they certainly
had a good chance to pick up at least a second or
third,
It is certainly any athlete's own choice as
to whether or not he will compete in any sporting
activity while at high school, but it certainly shows
a lack of school spirit when they choose to sit
out,
It always disappoints us when people with
good natural ability fail to use it to help out school
or community teams, while other eager hopefuls
would give their eye teeth to have the ability to
play.
Unfortunately this is often a situation that
carries throUgh life and those who are content to
sit around and let the other fellow do all the
work find out that that is exactly what happens
as the energetic people get the good positions
and are the leaders in the community.
While scholastic standings at school are all-
important, industry and business are also vitally
interested hi hiring people who take an active part
i ahtletics, clubs and social functions as they are
an integral part of anyone's personality.
It is not our intention of mentioning any
persons in particular, but will just say: if the hat
fits--wear it!
SERIES IS ANTI-CLIMATIC
No matter what explosive action takes part
In the remaining games of the World Series, it will
have to go a long way before it will come close,
te matching the excitement and tension that was
so prevalent in the playoff set between the Giants
and the Dodgers.
While there was considerable "glory" at
stake, there is little doubt that most of the players
were thinking considerably about their pocket-
books as the series meant a difference of approxi.,
stately $10,000 to each player based on the differ-
ence of finishing first or second in the league and
then a world series split.
The strategy employed by both Alvin Dark'
and Walt Alston Was something you won't see for
some time. When it worked it was termed "bril-
liant'", but when it hack-fired it was "stupid".
This is the major hardship encountered by
any team coach or manager and provides a real
hay-day for second-guessing fans and sports writers
when the strategy goes astray.
Both Dark and Alston were raked over, the
coals for a couple of decisions they made that
didn't have the desired results they had expected,
However, in their defense, we should point
out it's much more difficult to make the decision
than it is to sit, around after and second-guess
them and say how it should have been done,
But this is what keeps sporting fans coming
back as they can look like experts in telling people
how they would have done it arid there's no Way

Charlie Godbolt's fleet-footed
pacer, Dust A Bout., more than
doubled her season's winnings
with a pair of first class show-
ings at the Western Fair Race-
way this week.
The five-year-old mare had
an easy time in winning the
featured race on the card on
Thursday in 2:10 and three-fifths
as she left her competitors well
behind with a late surge.
Driven by Marshall Moore,
the local horse came out of the
number three spot and settled
into the second position until
the last quarter. With a little
urging from her capable driver,
she quickly sped around the
lead horse and was away out in
front before the favored Adio-
dale, with owner Neil McRann
of Clandeboye in the sulky,
knew she had gone.
McRann brought his horse ep
from the pack in an attempt to
catch the local pacer, but he
had to settle for a poor second.
Dust A Bout returned $7.40

The time of the mile was slow

pressed by the other six horses
in the C2 pace.
Second in big one
With only four days' rest,
Godbolt, the 74.year-old trainer
and owner, entered his popular
mare in the featured event of
the fall meet at the Raceway
and copped a second in a top
field of pacers.
Racing for a purse of $3,660.00
the event was open to horses of
the 2:20 class and to 2:17 class
pacers who had not earned over
$4.000.00 in 1961.
Dust A Bout, a 2:30 pacer,
appeared to be in over her head
in the race and was made a
10.1 choice on the boards be-
fore the race, The local mare
also drew the number eight
position and was moved back
into the second row behind the
number two horse, a very poor
position considering the track
was extremely sloppy and slow.
Coming out of the gate she
was impeded a bit when the
number two horse, Colonel C
Volo, made a slight jump, and
Moore pulled his horse into
sixth position until the real rac-
ing got under way at the three-
quarter pole
He then came outside in his
effort to catch Colonel C Volo,
but ran out of track just a
length and a half behind the
winner, which is owned by Earl
Barnes of Ailsa Craig,

The second place showing
earned Dust A Bout 25 per cent
of the purse, and coupled with
her win of Thursday, brought
her winnings to 82,031.00 over
the season.
The race, slowed down eon-
siderably due to the track con-
ditions, Was clocked in 2:11.

Settle ball title
this weekend
The • Exeter Mohawks and
Zurich Lumber Kings will at-
tempt to complete their series
for the. Huron-Perth baseball
title this weekend when they
have scheduled three games.
With Zurich leading the set
2.0, the 'squads have decided to
cut the series back to a best-
of-five affair and hope to wrap
it up this weekend.
First two games will be play-
ed in Zurich on Saturday after-
noon in a twin bill, while the
fifth game if necessary will be
played back in Exeter on Sun-
day afternoon.
The double header gets under
way in Zurich at 3:00 p.m. and
the squads will play two seven-
inning tilts.
Exeter's attempt, at Sunday
sport will start at 3:00 as
well if it is needed to settle the
series.
Exeter mentor, Derry Boyle
will have Jim Russell, Bill
Crago and Glenn Bennett ready
for duty on the mound, while
Zurich will probably employ
Dick Bedard and manager Don
O'Brien,
Only one absentee expected
in the Tribe's lineup will be Ron
Bogart, who will be attending
a home coming at OAC in
Guelph.
