Batter Up! That is the sound that is resound- ing throughout the major league cities of the United States and will soon be heard in this part of the country. A, quick check with Bob Sadler of Staffa, last year's president of the Huron-Perth league re- veals at least three of last year's clubs are ready to go and a fourth will probably be rounded up. Two of last season's area clubs, Dashwood and Zurich, appear ready to go and a junior entry from Walkerton will again join the southern group. The Dashwood intermediates, in action last year for the first time in many seasons, will be made up of mostly a bunch of enthusiastic youngsters and a few veterans. In 1965 they turned in a good record, los- ing to a more experienced Zurich club in a close series. The fourth team a year ago was from Staffa and it is hoped they will be back, or a club from Mitchell. The Walkerton juniors under the guiding hand of Howie Young are also entered in the Inter- county Junior loop but are expected to compete in this southern H-P grouping.

(T-A photo) RELIEF MEN IMPORTANT Looking over baseball records for last year we find quite an astonishing fact that only two pitch- ers in the American league were able to win 20 games or more. Jim "Mudcat" Grant of the Twins and Yankee Mel Stattlemyre with 20 and 21 wins respectively were the only junior circuit flingers to reach the coveted 20-game goal. What is the reason for the lack of 20-game winners? It seems more and more time and effort is spent on developing the specialist, the relief pitch- er. The bull pen staffs have developed to such a de- gree that every contender necessarily must have several "long" reliefers as well as the "short" re- liefer or one or two inning man. Every team now has capable men waiting in the wings in relief and a manager doesn't hesitate to make a pitching switch. Years back when 20-game winners were more plentiful, managers would go with their starters even when they seemed to be in trouble and they often stayed on the mound and worked their way out of hot water to pull another game out of the fire. A pennant oftentimes hangs on the strong arms of the relief men. Eddie Lopat of the Kansas City Athletics recently remarked that pitching is better than it was 20 years ago, simply because the pitchers have a greater variety of pitches. "When I broke in," Eddie said, "hurlers had two pitches — fast ball and the curve. Now they have at least four." The advent of the relief specialist has legislated against the hitters also. Once it was possible to "fatten" the batting averages against second line pitching, but this situa- tion no longer exists because of the relief specialist. With all the relief help last year there were still many starters in the American league who were flirting with the 20-game mark. Many of these out- standing youngsters may reach their goal this com- ing season. In having a gander at last year's crop of contending pitchers, we will start of course with our favorites from Detroit. Mickey Lolich (15-9), Denny McLain (16-6) and Joe Sparma (13-8) will be trying to improve their personal records for man- ager Charlie Dressen. The Cleveland Indians, the hottest team in the league at the moment, had Sam McDowell with a 17-11 record and Sonny Siebert checking in with 16 wins and 8 losses. Chicago White Sox relief ace Eddie Fisher won 15 games, pointing out the fact bull pen men are vital to a contending team. In chalking up his 15 victories, all in relief, Fisher ap- peared in a record of 82 games, almost half of his team's entire schedule. Despite Fisher's good show- ing, the White Sox had three other hurlers in the teen-win column. John Buzhardt and Joel Horlen rang up 13 victories each and Tommy John checked in with one more. Two 15-game victors were Steve Barber of the Orioles and Dean Chance of the Cali- fornia Angels. Jim Kaat, the other half of Minne- sota's one-two punch, achieved 18 successful deci- sions and Whitey Ford of the Yanks nailed down 16 wins. Present plaques at minor hockey banquet More than 100 coaches, man- agers and minor hockey sup- porters along with their wives attended the annual Shamrock Minor hockey banquet at the Ex- eter Legion hall, Friday evening. Derry Boyle, president of the Exeter Minor Hockey Association welcomed the guests from Lucan, Lambeth, Stoneybrook, Byron and Dorchester. Mayor Jack Del- bridge brought greetings from the Town of Exeter. Spec i al guests were Jack Oakes of Strath- roy, an executive member of the OHA and Don Buddo of Ilderton, business manager of the Sham- rock circuit. After the dinner served by ladies of the Legion Auxiliary, championship plaques were pre- sented to the various winning clubs. Jim Brown and Terry Bourne of Exeter accepted the Pee Wee A award from incoming Shamrock president, Bob Nelson of Lambeth. Gord Baynham re- ceived the Midget A plaque on behalf of his Exeter midget team. Alvin Willert, 1965-66 Sham- rock president and chairman for the evenings activities presented the Tyke trophy to Jim Freeman and Tony Van Vliet of the Lucan winners. Dorchester were win- ners of the other Tyke title, the bantam awards went to Stoney- brook and Lambeth and the latter also took the Midget B honors. Byron were best in the juvenile class and the top junior club was Belmont.

If you own a cheap powermower now, you probably know all about expensive repair bills and miserable summer Saturdays. You're probably ready for a trouble-free TORO. Come on in and see one! AN EXPLANATION Last week in talking about the Tigers, we called them the men of Stengel. This, of course, was a typographical error on our part, no doubt brought on by the sympathy card we received from the Grave•tt's in Hanover. If you will remember, Boom was a staunch Yankee fan when Casey Stengel was at the helm of the New York 'team and this must have been on our mind. If some people missed the story on the second sports page last week relating to the grief stricken missile we received after the Toronto Maple Leafs were grounded in short order by the Montreal Canadiens, here is an explanation. Don "Boom" Gravett, former composer of this col- umn and rec director here in Exeter and one of Toe Blake's staunchest supporters, sent his sympathy to all Toronto fans in the area, If Sunday's first NHL game is any indication of what may follow, an old friend will have to eat his words or perhaps "he who laughs last laughs the longest" will apply. The length of the Expo grounds is three and a half miles. DID YOU KNOW . . . That three of the present coaches in the NHL are 48 years of age and another will reach his 48th birthday this summer, Sid Abel, Milt Schmidt and Punch Imlach are now 48 and Billy Reay will join them come August 21. Toe Blake of the Canadiens is the oldest mentor at 53 and Emile Francis of the Rangers is the youngest coach at 39.

MANLEY & SONS LTD. bon Mills, Ontario Sold by: MILT ROBBINS & SONS LTD. Exeter, Ontario WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN THE FINALS . • . Don't be surprised during one of the tele- vised games from Detroit Olympia if a large object comes floating down from the distant seats and squishes onto the ice. An annual occurence in the Detroit playoffs is the throwing 'of an octopus by a veteran Red Wing fan. We have found out that this octopus, before being brought to' the Olympia, is partly cooked to bring on sort of a reddish tinge. Incidentally, this octopus is not always the freshest as far as aroma goes. One of the linesmen, and we believe it is Neil Armstrong, will testify to this as he was grazed by the flying octopus.
