FOR ALL GOOD SPORTS
By Jim Russell
Watch for
the rodeo
The Exeter Saddle Club will present its sec-
ond annual Rodeo two and 4 half miles west of Exe-
ter September 4 and 5. Last year's two-day perform-
ance drew large turnouts each day and so this year
the local club is repeating the show in a bigger and
better manner.
Each day's performance will begin with a
large parade. Rodeo clowns will be in attendance at
both performances with a lucky draw for a free pony
being held on the second day from the children's
admission tickets.
In actual competition, expert riders will be
competing for $1500 in prize money in various
events including calf roping, steer riding, bulldog-
ging and bronco riding. Most of the competitors in
these events will be men but the ladies will get a
chance to show their stuff in a Ladies' Barrel Race
which should produce a lot of excitement,
Last year's rodeo was a roaring success and
officials of the club are hoping that the large num-
ber of people who enjoyed 'themselves so much last
year will come back and bring a few friends with
them for an afternoon of fun and excitement.
Anyone interested in participating in any of
the riding events is asked to contact Mr. D. A. Fink-
beiner 235-1383. Admission to the performances is
50 cents for children and $1,25 for adults.
AREA TEAMS ELIMINATED
As the area baseball and softball season slow-
ly grinds to a close the number of Exeter teams par-
ticipating in playoffs seems to be dwindling. All the
Exeter minor hardball teams have been eliminated
in WOAA playdowns while two Exeter Rec League
teams have hung up their spikes.
The Exeter Pee Wees and Midgets bowed out
to teams from Clinton while the Bantams were oust-
ed by Goderich in their semi-final series. The Exeter
Kinsmen and the Old Timers who finished the reg-
ular Rec League in sixth and fifth place bowed out
of the playoffs in the first round with the oldsters
losing two straight to the Airmen and the Kinsmen
being ousted by Crediton two games to one.
In the men's softball loop, Crediton and the
Airmen have advanced to the next round while the
Legion and Bowling Lanes have still to complete
their series. To date the series has been extended
due to a tie game and bad weather but league of-
ficials hope to have the series completed by the end
of this week.
The Exeter Greys are currently involved in
a playoff with their arch rivals from Brucefield and
at the time of this writing the Brucefield squad holds
a one-game edge over the locals in their best-of-five
series. The Exeter club has only one experienced
Pitcher on their staff and the lack of pitching depth
could be a serious deciding factor in the Brucefield
series but the locals have plenty of hitting power
in their lineup and will undoubtedly give their op-
ponents a battle.
The winner of the Exeter-Brucefield set will
meet the winner of the northern grouping for the
Lathes' Softball League title.
On the Huron-Perth baseball front Dashwood
and Zurich are waging quite a battle for the right
to enter the OBA while Walkerton appears to have
the upper hand in their series with the Staffa Mer-
chants.
To date Dashwood and Zurich have played
six games in their best - of - seven series with each
team having two wins and two losses with two games
resulting in ties.
The powerful Walkerton entry came up with
a 12-6 win over Staffa in a game in Mitchell on Sun-
day to take -a. 3-1 lead in their best-of- seven series
for the Huron-Perth championship.
RUSTLINGS — Although the Detroit Tigers
showdown series with the league leading Twins did
not turn out so well with the Bengals losing two out
of three in their last week's meeting, the Tigers are
still very much in the pennant hunt. After taking
the first game of the series the weatherman turned
against the Tigers and with their most effective
pitcher Denny McLain holding a 1-0 lead over the
power laden Twins the rains came and the game had
to be called off after only three innings. McLain ap-
peared very sharp in this three inning stint and
many Tiger followers feel that he would have beaten
the leaders if the game had gone the full nine in-
nings. As it happened the game was scheduled for
next day and the Tigers lost a doubleheader to fall
further behind the Minnesota club . . . Even though
the Bengals fell further behind in the pennant race
last week Detroit fans have still not given up hope
for the American League flag, Even with all star
shortstop Dick McAuliffe out for the season with a
fractured hand and leader Al Kaline playing on a
bad foot most of 'their fans share the same feeling as
the Detroit motel which had these words on their
sign 'Make your World Series Reservations here'.
That's extreme optimism.

The meet was under the direc-

The hefty Airmen out pulled the
