Kyle and visiting hurler Jack Druitt hooked up in a pitcher's battle that was in doubt right to the finish. Each team threatened in the early innings but failed to dent the plate.

On the next toss Wright lifted a high fly to right field that enabled Kyle to scoot home after the catch. The visitors made their first entry on the scoreboard in the seventh as a couple of walks and a single by Bob Blackmore cut the Exeter margin to 3-1. In the eighth Petrolia with singles from the bats of Winder and Bidner scored another to get within one of tying the count. With runners on first and second and two out shortstop George Wright made a beauti- ful stop on a hard ground ball to his right by pitcher Druitt and just nipped the runner at third on a force play.

TRIBE LOSE ON ROAD The Petrolia Hard Oils broke loose with a four-run rally in the eighth on their home dia- mond Saturday to take the first second and third. A three-run splurge in the third put the Stars out in front for a short time. Exeter rallied to go ahead again with two runs in each of the fourth and fifth and added a single in the sixth to complete their part of the scoring. Brucefield got back into con- tention with two in the seventh and managed to get a couple of base runners in the eighth and ninth but failed to tie the count. genie of a best-of-three series 7-4 over the Mohawks. The Tribe crossed the plate three times to the fourth and once in the next, Stanza to main- tain a 4e1 lead until the home club brought out their lumber in the late innings, Jim Pfaff started on the Exe- ter mound and allowed only four scattered hits over the first six frames. The young C red it on right- bander apparently ran out of steam and was tagged for seven hits in the seven and eighth before being lifted in favor of Steve Kyle. Jim Russell started the Mo- hawk rally in the fourth with a ringing single to left, Bruce Horton followed by drawing a base on balls and Kyle slammed out a triple to chase both run- eers across the plate and open the scoring, Simon Nagel prom- ptly singled, his second of the afternoon, to plate the third CE sprinter sets record Athletes representing RCAF Centralia turned in excellent performances in the RCAF track and field meet held at Station Camp Borden last week, The CE track stars finished second in the final team stand- ings with a total of 59 points, only six back of the winning penhold aggregation. Flying Officer J. P. Garand was the individual Centralia star, winning the 100-yard dash and the 220 sprint with team- mate FO S. W. Reeder finishing in second position in each event. Garand's time in capturing the 100-yard dash was a new training command record, 9.9 seconds, The two officers teamed with Corporal George Kelly and Of- ficer Cadet K. C. S. Parker to take the 440-yard relay. Kelly, along with Officer Ca- dets Wiggins and Schlater and LAC Hergott, formed a Centra- lia foursome that placed second in a relay over a mile distance. Other Centralia winners were Wiggins, first in the mile event, and Officer Cadet W. IL Halli- day, tops in the shot put division. Hergott grabbed a second spot in the 440 as did .1. D.

Of 110 youngsters who par- ticipated in beginner, junior, intermediate and senior Red Cross classes, 88% passed their tests and received recognition during the program. In the neighborhood of 75 tad- poles received water orienta- tion and instruction and were promoted to beginners' status. Parents and friends were on hand to help the youngsters wind up the active swim pro- gram, Mrs. Joyce Cassis was swim director for the summer acti- vities and was assisted by Don Paxton, Sharon Kelly and Ian McConnell. Adult and bronze classes will continue at the CE pool until mid-September, Exeter G re y s, with their backs to the wall, scored all of their runs in the middle of the game and held on to down the Brucefield Stars 7-5 under the lights in Hensall Friday, The "must" win for the Greys tied the series at three games apiece and forced a deciding game to be played at Hensel' later this week. The Greys took an earlylead, notching single tallies in the Catcher Ann Jorgenson's sin- gle combined with a fielder's choice and an infield miscue put the Greys in front in the second. Back to back doubles from the bats of Mary Graved and Jean Taylor upped the Exeter lead to 2-0 in the third, Brucefield's starting hurler, Betty Graham, slammed a long home run with two mates aboard to put her team in front tem- porarily in the bottom of inning three. Dorothy Wilson, Dolly Matt- son and Audrey Pooley sand- wiched singles between a couple of outs to put the Greys ahead again in the fourth this time 4-3. Jorgenson's triple, her se- cond hit of the night, and Ann Cronyn's single, along with a couple of errors, gave the Greys two additional markers in the fifth. Darlene Snell's double sent Audrey Pooley home from first with no one out in the sixth. At this point, regular short- stop Bev Wright took over the Stars' mound duties and, after giving up a walk and a single, struck out the side with the bases jammed. Wright went on to hold the Exeter girls com- pletely in check for the balance of the fray. Graham's double, her second safety of the game, cashed the final tallies for the losers in the seventh. Helen Ebel scattered eight hits well over the distance and was backed up by good fielding plays by her team-mates. Ebel struck out six and Issued five free tickets. All reconditioned, ready to go! Gary Parsons, 16-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Doug Par- sons, town, has signed with the Detroit Red Wings organization and will report to Goderich Siftos of the OHA Junior "B" group for the upcoming hockey season. A star with last year's pro- vincial finalist Exeter Kin mid- gets, Gary attended a junior tryout camp of the Red Wing organization at Hamilton last week, Gary left for Goderich Mon- day and will be attending grade 10 classes at the collegiate there. Nightly practices will begin early in October when ice will be available at the God- erich arena, CUSHMAN AT HAB CAMP Another member of the same midget club, Mike Cushman, spent last week in Montreal working out with 56 other junior prospects from allparts of Can- ada, Mike, also 16 and the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Cushman of Huron St, east, participated in four clays of scrimmages as 14 scouts of the Canadien organ- ization looked on. Each scout took turns gazing at the potential of each young- ster as they worked out in a shinny style of practice, without offsides or penalties. Results, similar to a school report, will be compiled by Scotty Bowman, chief Hab ivory hunter and sent to Mike and the other boys in the near future.

We can make it or fix it A pair of Hensall rninorbase- ball clubs ran into the same trouble Labor Day afternoon and were eliminated from fur- ther OBA action. The pee wees and bantams both were handcuffed by bril- liant no-hit performances by the visiting hurlers in the second games of their best-of-three sets. The younger pee woes, coached by Maurice Tudor, dropped a 7-2 decision to Fen- wick after losing the opening contest in the Niagara district town Friday by an identical score. In Monday's game, Taylor Gamble of the visitors, although giving up two runs, did not allow the Hensall batters a single hit. Bruce Forrest and Jerry Traquair crossed the plate to account for the Hensall runs, In the opening game, Tom Neilands and Bill Berigough tal- lied for the Hensall boys. Mike Hoy and Gary Kyle for- med the battery for Tudor' s team in both games, BANTAMS BOW OUT Hensall bentains succumbed to a powerful Wheatley club, losing the opener in the Essex county town 27-1 and dropping the return game in 'Hensel]. Monday 22-0. Ken Roadhouse, a craft y southpaw, held the Hensall club to two hits in the first contest and threw a no-hitter in the holi- day series windup. In addition to his fine hurling display, Roadhouse showed he has plenty of power at the plate by banging out a homer, triple and single in Monday's outing. Ciliska, Wheatley's big left fielder, was also apowerhouse, slamming a round-tripper, a triple and three singles. Several of the drives by the visitors bounced past the 356 foot marker in left field at the Hensall park. Bill Taylor and Bill Chip- chase were the only Hensall batters able to get a safety in the entire series, both coming in the opener, Taylor's blow was a double and the young outfielder scored later on an outfielding error, the only Wheatley mis- cue of the set. Although their favorites were on the short end of the score, the Hensall fans will be talking of the 'Wheatley performance for some time Hensall Midgets won the WOAA "D" title by downing Dashwood in the third and de- ciding contest by a 8-1 count in Hensall Friday. The series originally set as a best-of-five was shortened in order to declare aW0AA winner by the end of August, The Hen- sail club is still waiting for its first call in OBA competition. Cam McDonald, on the mound for the winners, threw his best effort of the series limiting the Dashwood boys to two scattered hits, neither figuring in the lone score. Dashwood hurler Ken Genii- ner banged a two-out single in the third and Bob Hoffman con- nected for the other one base blow in a similar sixth inning situation. Getting off to an early start, the clubs played a fast brand of ball to complete the full nine innings before darkness set in, Lead-off batter Bill Chip- chase's double and Danny Ca- meron's following single sent the first Hensell run across the plate in the bottom of the first. The lead was upped to 3-0 in the second as a couple more markers came home on two walks and a single by Dave Smale, J. 1VicDonald's long triple sent Taylor home from first after two were out in the fourth for another Hensall tally, A four-run sixth frame rally closed out Hensall scoring and put the game in the bag.

REMINGTON CHAIN SAWS The baseball season is quickly coming to a close but plenty of thrills are still in store for local diamond enthusiasts, The Exeter Mohawks came back on their home diamond Sunday to edge Petrolia in a thril- ling, crowd-pleasing contest. The two evenly matched clubs will play the third and deciding contest at the Exeter park Sat- urday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. If the first two games are any indication of what the rubber match has in store local fans will be in for a good afternoon of baseball come Saturday, The Petrolia squad used the same pitcher, Jack Druitt, in the final two games played on successive days. The big right hander showed some effects of throwing 18 innings in the space of two days. On Sunday Druitt fanned only seven Mohawks while the day previous he chalked up 15 strike-outs, The local club guided by teachers Joe Wooden and George Wright will have Steve Kyle and Jim Pfaff ready for starting mound duty in the deciding contest with Jim Russell and Glen Bennett available for relief action. Russell showed his worth at the bat in the weekend games, slamming a homer, double and a pair of singles in eight trips to the plate. The other Exeter baseball aggregation still in the hunt for provincial honors are the Squirts. This team of boys, ten years of age and under, are standing by waiting further opposition after downing Walkerton to win the WOAA title. The Hensall midgets are the only team from the bean town still in contention. Their other two representatives, the bantams and pee wees bowed out on the Labour Day holiday. Both clubs ran into a couple of top notch pitchers in their opening OBA rounds. The ban- tams were stopped cold by Ken Roadhouse, a big left-hander from Wheatley. Roadhouse should cer- tainly be heard from in years to come. Standing close to six feet tall and weighing about 175 pounds, the 15-yeair-old southpaw combines a blazing fast ball with a good dropping curve and amazingly good control for a youngster. In 16 innings of play in the play-off round he sent 35 Hensali batters back to the bench by way of strike-outs. Roadhouse allowed only two hits in the first game in Wheatley and came back to Hensel). Monday to prove that his performance was not a fluke by tossing a no-hitter and only facing 26 batters in the seven-inning contest. The Hensall fans were treated to another pitching spectacle later Monday as Taylor Gamble of Fenwick also tossed a no-hit performance at the home town pee wees. Not very often will baseball fans have the opportunity to witness a no-hit game but a good crowd of Hensell support- ers will be able to say that they witnessed two great exhibitions in one day. Needless to say they would have preferred to have the decisions reversed but still appreciat- ed the fine ability of the visiting teams, especial- ly in the pitching department. Having seen the Wheatley boys in action we feel this is a team that will go a long way up the baseball minor ladder. Twelve boys on the club are now all the same age. 15, and will move practically as a unit into midget competition next year. This is quite an unusual situation to have almost a complete roster of a minor club of the same age which means by the time they reach their second and final year in any category they will undoubtedly be near the tops in their class. LADIES DRAW THE CROWDS One of the biggest topics in sports conver- sation lately is the final of the southern division of the Huron Ladies' Softball league. At the moment the Exeter Greys and Brucefield Stars are deadlocked at three games each in a best-of-seven series. The girls have been drawing the largest crowds of the summer for any local sports attrac- tion. Playing all of the finals Wider the lights at Hensall the ladies have been performing before throngs ranging from 200 to 300. All six games of the set to date have been very close and hard fought. When one club goes on a scoring spree or has a bad night in the field their opponents seem to do likewise providing exciting action. LINIMENT LEAGUE PLAYDOWNS One club, the Exeter Kinsmen, have reach- ed the semi-final round robin series of the Exeter Rec softball loop. The other two sets bringing together Exe- ter Bowling Lanes and RCAF Centralia in one and Exeter Legion and Crediton in the other have not yet been finished. Play in the popular McGillivray softball league has reached the final stages. Perennial finalists from Sylvan were oust- ed by West Corners in three straight and the "Corners" crew are now battling Lieury in a best- of-seven set for the title. BACK TO TI-4E ICE Continuing on our hockey theme of a week ago we note that the name of the former EPHI., has been changed to the Central Professional Hockey league. Fortner boss of the Detroit Red Wings, Jolly Jack Adams, has taken over as presi- dent. Some new rules will be forte in this central loop. Each of the teams will only be able to have five players over the age of 23, compared to two performers over 25 a year ago. The main result from this new regulation should certainly be a faster, more exciting brand of hockey.
