The look of satisfaction
Hans Bischoff, 14, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bischoff looks well
pleased as he starts to clean this fish. The four and a half pound,
23 inch beauty was caught Sunday in Black Creek using a daredevil
lure. It is not often that a rainbow trout of this size is caught in the
area but Hans now has a picture to prove his fish story. (T-A photo)

Exeter Greys defeated 5-3
Brucefield takes 2-1 lead
Although there is still a bit of summer weath-
er remaining, we hope, preparations for fall and.
winter sports are being made in the community with
the curlers repairing their rink and the Exeter Bowl-
ing Lanes also receiving reconditioning for the up-
coming season.
Exeter Bowling Lanes' proprietor Aub Far-
quhar reports that Brunswick of Canada has just
completed sanding and refinishing all six alleys at
his establishment and that the lanes are all in per-
fect condition for the opening of the men's league
on September 13.
The men's league executive held an organiza-
tional meeting last night tWednesday) while the
ladies, Friday nighters and mixed league officers
will soon be meeting to map out strategy for the new
bowling season.
Last season 93 different teams bowled in the
various leagues including the ladies' and men's Inter-
town and junior league which operated after four
o'clock and on Saturdays.
The popular sport which supplies a lot of
wintertime exercise for nearly 600 area keglers will
soon be in full swing again as the cool season rapid-
ly approaches.
Work on the new heating system under the
ice at the curling rink is progressing rapidly and the
thermostatically controlled system will undoubtedly
be completed in good time before the season gets
under way.
The new system which keeps the frost from
going down too far and making the ice become un-
even will assure the club of level ice throughout the
season and make for better curling.
Volunteer workmen have also been remodel-
ling the downstairs portion of the club, installing
panelling and lighting. Both projects have been han-
dled by the curlers themselves who will no doubt
be anxious to start the new season and enjoy the
fruits of their labour.
AREA INTEREST IN BASEBALL RACE
Most baseball enthusiasts in the area are
American League followers mainly because of the
closeness of Detroit and Cleveland who are members
of the junior circuit but the tight pennant race in
the National League is being followed with a lot of
interest by quite a few people in the area.
Over the past few years the National League,
which many expert observers consider the better
league, has featured many an exciting pennant fight
with two or three clubs battling to the wire in the
last couple of weeks but this year no less than five
teams have an excellent chance of copping the flag
with the sixth place Philadelphia Phillies, who are
presently six and a half games out, also in the run-
ning.
At the time of this writing the Los Angeles
Dodgers are in first place as they have been most
of the season only one and a half games ahead of
the San Francisco Giants and the Cincinnati Reds
who are tied for second place. Milwaukee is present-
ly in third place, one game behind the Giants and
Reds while the streaking Pittsburgh Pirates hold
down fourth place, four and a half games off the
pace set by the league leading Dodgers.
The Dodgers who were written off by most
experts in the early season when their top hitter
and runs batted in man, Tommy Davis, fractured his
ankle, still are confounding the experts as they con-
tinue to hold the lead although they have hit less
home runs than any other team in the majors and
have scored less runs than most other clubs. Even
though they lack the ability of scoring a lot of runs
the Dodgers always seem to score just enough to
win as they rely on the excellent pitching of Sandy
Koufax, Don Drysdale and Claude Osteen to hold
the other teams at bay while they score the winning
run on a walk, a steal of second, an infield out and
a sacrifice fly.
Close pennant races are not new to the players
in the NE but the pressure is starting to tell on the
teams involved as the players are becoming edgy
and the pitchers are throwing more knock-down
pitches in order to keep the hitters from digging in
too solidly.
Evidence of the tension came last week when
pitcher Juan Marichal of the Giants clouted Dodger
catcher Johnny Roseboro over the head with a bat
and was fined $1750 and suspended for eight play-
ing days. Marichal had thrown brush-back pitches
to Maury Wills and Ron Fairly earlier in the game
and the Dodgers were worked up over it and when
Marichal came to bat in the next frame, Roseboro
clipped his ear with a throw back to the pitcher and
the fight was on. After the Giant pitcher had clob-
bered Roseboro, both benches emptied as all the
players headed to home plate to take part in the 20-
minute outbreak.
With just over a month remaining in the Na-
tional League schedule, it appears that this will be
another great photo finish with no team being able
to build a comfortable lead.
RUSTLINGS — Bob Paisley and Vic Fulcher,
two young golfers from town fared quite well in a
junior golf tournament that was staged ut London's
East Park Golf Gardens last week. Paisley carded
an 18 hole score of 72 to finish fourth in the juve-
nile category while Fulcher finished fifth in the
junior division with a score of 75 . . Match play in
the Exeter Men's Golf Club will get underway next
week The Exeter Lawn Bowling Club will stage
a big tournament at the local green next Monday
with bowlers from all over the area competing.

of the fifth inning last Thursday
night to gain a 3-2 win and oust
the Dashwood Tigers from furth-

game was the eighth game of the
best of seven series with Zurich
taking the round four games to
two with two games tied.
The winners opened the scor-
ing with a single ruin in the third
frame when Rick Stade singled,
advanced to second on a walk and
then scored on Phil Overholt's
single but the Tigers took a one

clutch pitching of crafty right-
hander Bob Lockrey.
Corunna picked up single runs
in the seventh and eighth frames
while Lockrey who scattered ten
Staffa safeties over the nine inn-
ing contest, baffled the Staffa
batters with his assortment of
pitches. Lockrey fanned seven
Staffa batters while the Mer-
chants' George Coveney struck
out 12 and allowed the visitors
only six hits in his route going
performance.
Staffa threatened often during
the game and especially in the
second and fourth innings when
they had runners on second and
third with none out but they were
unable to get to Lockrey for a
key hit. The Merchants plated
their lone run and took a tem-
porary 1-0 lead in the fifth frame
when Charlie Westman, Coveney
and Bill Gatenby picked up
singles.

field took a 2-1 lead in their
best of five Ladies Huron Soft-
ball League semi-final series.
Brecefield had a chance to wrap
up the series last night (Wednes-

The locals took a 1-0 lead in
the first inning on Monday night

vanced on another Brucefield
miscue and then scored on a wild
pitch.

back for their winning margin
as they plated five runs in the
third inning on only two singles.
The Greys aided the Drucefield
cause by committing four errors
in the disastrous third while
pitcher Bev Wright and catcher
Thelma Jones contributed key
singles to the Brucefield attack.
The Greys cut the deficit to
two runs with a pair of tallies
in the sixth on an error, a single
by Connie Kernick and Anne Jor-

unable to catch the powerful nor-
thern crew.

the way on the mound for Bruce-
field and allowed the Greys only
four safeties while she struck
out 13. Righthander Pat Down
worked the full seven innings for
the locals and gave up six hits.
