and they hope to have nine of
the holes ready for play next
spring.
It will be a pro-rated course

A fish was trying to .go up

on some rocks and was scooped
up by a fortunate fisherman
like an infielder nabbing a

Many others from the area,
including Bill Snell, Bert Ost-

Mrs. Mathers names Norm

Lolich as the best in the Ameri-
can league and went along with
former Bengal, Jim Bunning
as the top hurler in the senior

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".

YANKS AGAIN
According to the final capitu-
lation, the Yankees and the
Giants will be meeting in the

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.

selections of area fans:

"It's a terrific thrill and hard
to explain the wonderful feeling
of just being there amongst all
the tradition."
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

week stretch as regular Sports Editor "Boom"
Gravett is off to the halls of higher learning pick-

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!"
