Pooley powers win in Brussels Monday night was Audrey Pooley night in Brussels! It wasn't planned that way by the BrusselS club, but the elasay Exeter shortstop stole the show with some classic hitting and defensive plays to spark the Exeter Greys to a 16-13 mara- thon victory. Pooley sparked the Greys to their sixth victory of the season by belting three home runs and a first inning single for a four- for-five night at the plate. One of the homers was a three run AUDREY POOLEY . swings hot bat effort in the seventh and final inning in which Exeter exploded for seven runs to gain their margin of victory. Defensively, the veteran in- fielder pulled off a Clete Boyer grab as she speared aline drive near second base while going full flight through the air. The sensational catch took the heart out of the Brussels club and from there on in, it was just a formality for pitcher Helen Ebel to retire the side. Winning pitcher Helen Ebel helped her own cause by hitting a seventh-inning double to score Marshall and Pat Down with the tying runs in the ball game. Offensively the climax came when Ebel rode home on Ann Cronyn's double to right field. Jean Taylor, who took over the catching duties in this one, connected for solo round tripper in the surging seventh, tagged a run-producing triple in the third and added a single in the fourth inning. Besides Ann Cronyn's double in the seventh, the Exeter se- cond baseman chipped in with a fourth-inning single.

O'Brien, who played centre- field in this one, not onlyboorn- ed the two-run three-bagger to tie up the ball game in the ninth, but stole home with the winner as he capitalized on some loose Mohawk defensive play in the late inning. Don O'Brien and catcher Jim Bedard paced the Zurich repre- sentatives with two hit singles apiece. Bob Hoffman cracked a second inning double for Zurich for the other extra base hits of the game. Bruce Moir and winning pit- cher Dick Bedard each picked Bantams unleash for 30 markers EXeter Legion Bantams, showing more power than they have in years whipped Hensall 30-4 here Tuesday night in a scheduled WOAA Bantam "B" baseball league encounter.

As this is our last effort, I sincerely want to thank everyone for their co-operation, not only over the past few months, but in previous years. As you probably already know, I will be leaving Exeter right afer the Exeter Kinsmen summer camp on August 16 to take up employment in Hanover. It certainly has been a pleasure to be as- sociated with so many wonderful people both in the recreation profession and as sports editor on this fine weekly newspaper. Right from the Adult Art Club down to minor sports committees, it's certainly been my pleasure. I wish you all the very best of luck in the future and may the Good Lord take a liking to you!

Competition was keener in the intermediate division and the girls' winner was Gayle Mard- lin, while George Gagan won the boys' class. Junior winner s were Janice Morley and Brian Ankers. All six winners will.have their names engraved on separate plaques and all winners of the various events will have their names recorded in the record books. The results of the meet were as follows; GREYS LOOK LIKE DEFENDING CHAMPIONS "The team is better balanced this year. More bench strength and lots of enthusiasm is giving us the extra zip we need. Everyone is playing well although the hitting department leaves a little to be desired. But this will iron itself out." These were the words of Coach Lloyd "Cruncher" Cushman as he outlined the possibili- ties of a "repeat performance" production of the 1963 campaign. As you know, the Exeter gals won the Western Ontario Athletic As- sociation champion- ship last year when they whipped Or- angeville in the WO- AA final to bring Exeter its initial WO- AA ladies' softball crown. As this is written, the Greys have gone seven games without tasting defeat. They have chalked up six impressive victories and were held to a 4-4 tie by Brucefield. Any similarity is purely co-incidental of course, but 'the Greys seemed to have taken lessons from the New York Yankees of the American League. On various occasions this season, as well as last, Exeter has produced some dramatic last inning surges to either tie or win the ball game. All of this, of course, is hard on Coach Lloyd Cushman 'and Manager Grace Farquhar, but all in all, it's what decisively pleases the fans. On the other hand, it gives the opposition ulcers every time the late innings arrive because they have gained much respect for the slugging Exe- ter aggregation.

The Greys, wrapping up their fifth triumph of the season, col- lected only five first inning hits in the 15 run splurge. Thanks to the generosity of Clinton pit- chers, who walked seven and hit one batter, the defending W,O,- A,A, coasted the rest of the way. Jackie Attrill, Mary Gravett, Fern Dougall and winning pit- cher Helen Ebel each picked up a pair of hits for the winners. One of Dougall's was a fifth inning lead-off homer. Gravett hit one with Jackie Attr ill aboard in the two run fourth. Attrill also chipped in with a two bagger in the fourth and Ann Cronyn cracked a sixth inn- ing double. Dolly Mattson sing- led in the first inning for the other Exeter hit. RCAF Clinton's Carol Rogers tripled and singled to pace the losers. Babs McGuire's double and single also stood outfor the visitors. Jean Stetner tagged one of Ebel's offerings in the fifth inning for a three run homer.

Carolynne Simmons of the Exeter Kinsmen playground staff attended the camp as a staff member and did a session on music and singing games. Commenting on the results of the examination which follow- ed a five day training period, Director Gravett expressed his pleasure on the fine showing made by the Exeter represen- tatives. Lana Keller topped the Exeter leaders with an 87 mark, which was second highest obtained by students in the course. Shirley Genttner had an 84 and Elizabeth Gosar 83. Nancy McTavish and Sharon Carpenter had '77 and75 respectively. Subjects covered included leadership, age group needs, program planning, developing a program, use of volunteers, music and singing games, active games, story telling and drama- tics, crafts, operation of tour- naments and schedules, first aid and safety and the operation of penny carnivals. The course is sponsored by the Lake Huron Zone Recreation. Council in co-operation with the Community Programs Branch, Department of Education. The course was under the direction of L. E.

Approximately 65 district playground leaders attended the Camp H u r on o r a Playground Leadership Training C our se held from June 21 to 25 at the Goderich Summer School. Western Ontario communi- ties represented included Exe- ter, Milverton, Listowel, St. Marys, Walkerton, Kincardine, Goderich, Wingham, Hanover, Lucknow, Paisley, Teeswater and Harriston.

The tournament, which is sponsored by Molson's Brewery Limited, had persons from 41 different centres throughout Ontario and Quebec participat- ing in it and dished out a record prize list of $6,513.00. Gravett placed second in the Men's "B" singles with an 872 triple. He was beaten by John Freethy of Stayner for first prize ($75,) as the division winner trundled an 878, six more pins than the Exeter en- try. The Exeter bowler rolled games of 264, 333 and 275. A blow in the tenth frame of the first game on two strikes and a 15-pin foul-line penalty in the second game cost him a first place finish. Several Exeter and district bowlers competed in the event at various times throughout the two month period. Bill. Oberle, one of the past stars of the Exeter Mohawk intermediate hockey club, teamed up with Cry Bauman of Waterloo to win $15. apiece in the Men's "A" group doubles. By the way, "Boom" gave half of his prize money to his wife, Mary. He promised before he left for Waterloo, that she sould have half of what he won. How about thatl 01.

Also like the champion Yankees, the Greys have tremendous versatility. They have at least seven players who can play more than one posi- tion equally as well as the other. As Mel Allen, famed sportscaster would say, "How about that!" Two of the most prominent people who have fallen into this category over the past year or so have been Jean Taylor and Mary Gravett. Jean, a regular third baseman, has turned in commendable performances both at first base and behind the plate on various occasions. Mary, al- though losing her speed on the base paths, has played several outfield and infield positions with the club. The biggest feat of all came last year against Mitchell when she took over the catching duties for the first time when regular Ann Jor- genson was hurt and no one else could or would catch. She filled the gap superbly and before it was all over, the Greys, with Gravett catching, wrapped up the Western Ontario title. Helen Ebel, who mostly works on the mound for Exeter also plays the outfield. The story is the same for Darlene. Snell and Dolly Mattson, who are at home in either right, centre or left field. Newcomer Jackie Attrill also quali- fies for duties at third and second base. Of course Ann Cronyn is the club's regu- lar second sacker. Newcomers Glena Tripp, Pat Down, Lee Souchereau, Iris Marshall and Carmel Marshall form the majority of the necessary bench strength that every team needs that has any hopes of going all the way. June Chuter, who has pitched two games this season looks to be a capable fill-in for regular Helen. Ebel with the mound duties. Another newcomer to the club, who is proving 'her validity rapidly is catcher Fern Dou- gall. "I'm very pleased with Dougall's catching," commented Coach Cushman. "I haven't seen her drop a ball yet!" Last but certainly not least, we must men- tion the Tony Kubek of the Exeter Greys—Aud- rey Pooley. Personally, I haven't seen one game over the past three or four years that Audrey Alas turned in a sub-par performance. No player on the club plays each game, each inning and each play with any more emphasis than this classy shortstop. She is the talk of the entire league for her brilliant fielding performances, Nothing has killed more enemy rallies than the phenominal displays turned in by this ball player. At the plate, she is a constant threat. Al- though off to a slow start at the plate this seas son, Audrey seems to have found her batting eye. Last Monday night in Brussels she kayoed the northern club with three towering home runs and a single in five trips to the plate. What more could a Coach want? When you have a power house like the Yankees, they say anyone can coach them and win a title. This year"Yogi's'' trying it, With the Greys, the same situation prevails. A team effort will rest the WOAA championship here for the second consecutive year. Good luck! OBA winners h Staffa Merchants, last years Ontario Baseball Association Intermediate "C" champions, gained sweet revenge for apre- vious 5-4 loss to Exeter Mo- hawks in the seasons' opener, as they bombed the Tribe 17-3 in Staffa Wednesday night in a scheduled Huron-Perth Inter- mediate Baseball League en- counter, Bowlers edged by Cpls. outfit In one of the better Exeter Men's Recreational Softball League games to date, Cpls of RCAF Centralia downed EXeter Bowling Lanes 5-3 this week. The Lanes made a surging three-run effort in the top half of the final frame but fell two runs shy of tying up the game, Monty Motomura and Al Simpson each had two hits for the winners. The pair also bat- ted in two runs apiece. Joe Laitar cracked a run- producing third inning triple for the Cp1s. Other safeties went to Yves Garand, Pete Bileski and Russ McLean. For the Lanes, George Wright singled in the s econd and seventh innings. Jim "Red" Leadet also had two hits, both singles. Simon Nagel teed off for a run scoring triple in the seventh as Burke scored all the way from first base on the play.
