Gilbert Dow and George F. Rether announced this weelc they have purchased the 109-acre farm of Tom Yellow and will. start immediately to build the course. The farm is located just west of the Morrison Dam and south of the Ausable River. Rether stated working plans were to be ready this weekend and they hope to have nine of the holes ready for play next spring. It will be a pro-rated course and will be built to the standards outlined by the Professional Golfers' Association. As such it will be possible to stage pro- fessional tournaments over the layout. The course will be designed 1)3' Dave Ferguson, Aylmer, who has considerable experience in laying out golf courses. He graduated as an architec- tural draftsman under Sir. R. Lorimer, of Scotland, and then as well as challenging for all golfers. The course will be bounded by a bush, the river flats and a large drainage ditch. Some of it is also rolling terrain., Dow will handle most of the construction work under the supervision of Ferguson, The pair are quite thrilled with the OosSibilities of the course, and noted the area would become a large recreation area with the facilities of Morrison Dam close by. became es st stant to Stanley Thompson, an Internationally known course designer. Ferguson has assisted with laying out such well-known courses as Jasper Park, Banff, slington, Uplands and St. George's. He was a proteegiOnal golfer for 15 years and has instructed for a lengthy time as well, IRRIGATED Rether explained the course would be completely irrigated and should be extremely scenic Vets cop dart silverware Exeter Legion's dart team emerged as winners of the championship trophy in RCAF Centralia's annual Inter-Mess competition, Captain Norm Ferguson right, proudly holds the silverware, while team-mates, from left, Doug 13rintnell, Larry Estey, Keith Brintnell, Bill Smith and Garnet Shipman display the form that enabled them to cop the title.

A fish was trying to .go up through the rapids against fast whirling water and ran aground on some rocks and was scooped up by a fortunate fisherman like an infielder nabbing a ground ball. Many others from the area, including Bill Snell, Bert Ost- land and Harry Dougherty were able to come home with full creels. The veteran baseball enthu- siast showed a lot of Tiger preference in her individual player selections. Mrs. Mathers names Norm Cash, Al Kaline and Mickey Lolich as the best in the Ameri- can league and went along with former Bengal, Jim Bunning as the top hurler in the senior circuit. Seven of the 15 "experts" put on the spot gave Bunning a 7-6 edge over Juan Marichal of the Giants. JOHNNIE'S SADDLE INN GRAND BEND Opening May10 Spare Ribs Our Speciality The trout season got off to a flying start over the weekend throughout Ontario. Good catches have been re- ported not only from the Morri- son Dam, but from local anglers that headed for farther fields. A trio of Exeter teen-agers, combining fishing and camping overnight, were able to land in excess of 50 speckled trout from the River below Morrison Dam. Larry Willert and Jim Par- sons were the hardy youngsters to spend two nights in the open air and John Gras sick joined them for Saturday night. It is estimated about 300 were caught locally over the weekend, most of them in the river itself. Ricky Brintnell was also suc- cessful in landing a goodly amount right in Exeter, just be- low the dam. Travelling to distant streams, several parties of lo- cal fishermen reported good catches. Dick Roelofson, Bob Fletcher and Doug Gould landed about 24 of fair size in the Durham area. A trip to the Nottawasaga River area rewarded John Web- ster with full limit catches. Exeter's Chief of Police, C. H, McKenzie, along with Sgt. Link, RCAF Centralia, visited the Department of Lands and Forests stocked pond in Full- arton and were rewarded with limit catches, Ward Kraft and George Dobbs were able to lure 24 speckleds to the bank "somewhere north of Exeter". Kraft reports that while they YANKS AGAIN According to the final capitu- lation, the Yankees and the Giants will be meeting in the World Series come next fall. The many staunch Tiger fans in the area, including Mrs. Mathers put up a great struggle before bowing to the Yankees 61-59 on a point basis. In the National. the Giants DELIGHT MOM WITH One of Exeter's most rabid baseball fans is continuing her support of the Detroit Tigers. Mrs. Annie Mathers of Exeter North follows the baseball situ- ation not only throughout the summer months, but the entire year by way of the Sporting News. Quizzed for the first time in the annual T-A prediction poll, Mrs. Mathers, hale and hearty at the age of 81 said, "I would just love to see the Detroit Tigers win a pennant, for the sake of Al Kaline, he is my favorite player and is such an unassuming young man." Mrs. Mathers went on to say that she has been a Tiger fan for a long time, even through a long 17-game losing streak of several years ago. She attended her last major league game in 1962, and is looking forward to a trip to Detroit this summer. Area men thrilled at Derby tradition and the get-to-gether turned into a large picnic. It's wonderful just being there as the large crowd stands to sing "My Old Kentucky Home", commented the local enthusiast. The greatest thrill of course for the local race fans was the great run by the Canada's Nor- thern Dancer to stave off a late closing challenge by Hill Rise. According to Darling, Bill Hartack up on Northern Dancer seemed to be concerned only with Hill Rise and paced his steed with the odds-on favorite. The trip to Kentucky was made in a private plane owned by Rice and piloted by Lloyd. The flight began Friday noon with the first stop at Fort Erie to take in the afternoon racing there. On to Cincinnati for the night and then into Churchill Downs Saturday morning about ten o'clock for breakfast. The actual eight-race card, of which the Derby was number seven, started at 11:30 in the morning. The successful trip, a first for all of them, ended back in London the same evening at 10:15. getting the majority of the votes with three clubs, St. Louis, Los Angeles and Philadelphia bun- ched to-gether well off the pace. Harmon Killebrew, last year's home run king was again the top pick to repeat, but getting some rugged competi- tion from Rocky Colavito. Willie Mays, off to a flying batting spree, is the odds-on choice to take both b atting crowns, getting all but one vote for home run honours. Detroit's fine right fielder Al Kaline picked up the most AL votes in the run for the batting average title. Camilo Pascual edged Al Downing as the most likely prospect to win the most games in the American division. The Minnesota Twins were the only AL club in addition to the Yanks and Tigers to get a first place nod. Four clubs were considered to give the Giants a bit of trouble in the National. Two fast breaking clubs, Philadelphia and St. Louis gar- nered two top votes each, while Pittsburg and Los Angeles man- aged a single ballot. To make this year's "guess- perts" feel a little better, no one was able to pick the two pennant winning clubs in 1963. .

Those were the words of Fred Darling, Exeter, after his first visit to Louisville, and the Ken- tucky Derby, the world series of horse racing. Fred, along with Group Cap- tain L. H. Randall, Commanding Officer RCAF Centralia; F/L George Lloyd, also of the local air station and Jack Rice, Ayl- mer, flew into Louisville Satur- day morning in time for the big event. However, the people in Exeter watching on television saw the race a lot better than we did, reported Fred. Due to the overflow crowd of more than 100,000, the local foursome were forced to watch proceedings from the infield and were unable to see the thrilling finish. From their vantage point they were able only to see the goings- on in the backstretch and the last time they saw Northern Dancer and Hill Rise is when they were running neck and neck in fifth or sixth position before making their bids. When asked if he would make the trip another year, Darling replied, "I sure woul, but next time I would be sure of reserved seats or take a step ladder along". About the only person in the large throng crowding the in- field area that saw the finish was an enterprising fellow that brought his own step ladder along to get a better vantage point. A great majorityof the people brought along chairs and tables We are back on the sports beat for a one- week stretch as regular Sports Editor "Boom" Gravett is off to the halls of higher learning pick- ing up a degree in the recreation field, Best of luck, Boomer. With the weather finally turning for the better, baseball interest both 'locally and nation- silly is picking up. Elsewhere on this page will be found the predictions of the so-called baseball experts in the area, our inexpert opinion included. On the local scene, 'a meeting of prospec- tive Huron-Perth intermediate clubs will be called very shortly, probably by •the end of the week. President Bob Sadler of the H-P circuit is hopeful of having at least five teams in the fold for 'the coming season, The Merchants, defending OBA champs from Staffa will likely be back. In Exeter, last year's manager Joe Wooden says that a team will he entered from 'here only if a suitable league of at least four clubs is formed. According to Wooden, Exeter officials will suggest to the league that games be confined to Saturdays and Sundays, thus ensuring a full nine innings of play, rather than the abbreviated con- tests that fail to attract fans. • Rumors are making the rounds that Hen- sall will be back in competition after a one-season lay-off. By the end of last year about seven or eight Bean Town natives were toiling for the other three H-P Up at Zurich, playing coach Don O'Brien of the Lumber Kings is ready for another term. Although several Hensall residents played with Zurich a year ago, O'Brien said he "would like to see Hensall back in for the good of the league, if not' we would •again like to use their players". According to Sadler, an 'intermediate team from Walkerton is being formed and would like to head south for competition. Junior clubs from Walkerton and Durham helped the Huron-Perth league ,along last year with exhibition contests. WHAT'S IN A NAME There seem to be a lot of different names, surnames; that is, in the major baseball leagues. The most common name throughout the years 'has 'been Smith and this term is no excep- tion with a total of ten. Close runners-up are the Browns, number- ing seven. Colors are quite comon. In addition to Browns, there are Greens, 'a Gray, 'a Golden, a Goldy and a White. Royalty also gets into the pic- ture with a King and a Queen. Then we get into a bit of confusing infor- mation. Pitcher George Cardenal is not a Cardinal but 'a Giant. Terry Fox is a Tiger and Wally Wolf is a Colt. A romantic 'aspect is supplied by the Wash- ington Senators with team-mates named Valen- tine and Depart. History could be repeated with Lee still opposing Grant on the mound, in the American league. Chris Short could pitch to Dale Long, Larry Sherry to Bob Wine and against John Boozer. If you need cash in 'a Lump(e) visit the De- troit Tigers or the Banks of Chicago Cubs. Then we could have Fisher of the Tigers trying to land Salmon of the Indians. One St. Louis Cardinal rookie hurler walked 75 men in 125 innings of minor league play last year. His name, Jerry Wild. ODDS 'n ENDS—A former St. Marys Lin- coln star, Jim Armstrong posted a 2.40 average to top all goalies in the final Eastern Hockey play-off statistics . . . Jim allowed just 13 goals in five games and posted one shutout . . . . The scoring leader in the same loop was •a performer well known to most hockey fans, Pete Babando, former NHL'er . . , . The, NHL all-star clubs were announced a week or so ago, but some folks may be interested in the annual awards of the Hockey News . Stan Mikita, the dashing centre of the Chicago Black Hawks, Toe Blake, the astute coach of the Canadiens and Cleveland Barons' eager beaver general manager Jackie Gordon are the top names in professional hockey this past year . — . Mikita, the fiery and rugged Black Hawk who won the NHL scoring title was chosen as pro hockey's outstanding player . . . Blake, who did such a magnificent job of directing an inexperienced Canadien club into first place was selected as coach of the year . . . Gordon, a for- mer Cleveland star in his own right but now the Barons' highly competent GM was picked as the top executive in pro hockey . . . Last year's win- ners of the awards were Gordie Howe of Detroit; Jim Norris of the Black Hawks and Punch Im- lach of the Stanley Cup champion Leafs. AND FINALLY—Oh, brother, it happened again . In, a spring training camp game on March 21, catcher Tom Haller of the Giants was called out on strikes 'twice during the after- noon , „ . Tom did/A protest either call, al- though after being struck out the second time, he pounded his bat into the dirt with vigor . . The umpire? None other than brother Bill Haller . . . Which, of course brought the inevitable crack from 'the press box "That guy would call his own brother out!"
