Stauffer CHEMICALS 18 records fall at SHDHS FOR ALL. GOOD SPORTS By Ross Haugh We'll miss him A familiar face will no longer be seen at the local bowling alley. The recent passing of Amos Dar- ling at the age of 84 closes the story on a wonder- ful bowling personality. Starting to bowl at the age of 72, when most men are retiring to the more leisurely tasks of play- ing cards, going for the mail or light gardening, Amos was a daily visitor at the alley. Since he start- ed to bowl in 1953, Amos was at the lanes every day during the kegling season and if he failed to show up, everybody wanted to know what was wrong. Manager Aub Farquhar of the Exeter Lanes called him a permanent fixture. Amos was known as the "grand old man of bowling" not only in. Exeter but in. many parts of Western Ontario. One of his greatest thrills was ap- pearing on CKNX television as the oldest participant in a tournament at Walkerton. In a special tourney in Waterloo, Amos threw 12 games in one day and compiled a total of 2,600 pins. Many younger men would be happy to come up with an average such as this, well over 200 in any 12-game span. After this 12-game marathon, Amos said, "Everybody was tired but me, I could bowl all day as long as there were six on each team." Back to action at the Exeter Lanes, "the grand old man" was a member of the original Ring- ers, winners of the Men's 'B' championship in 1956. This team rang up a good five-man, three- game score of 3838. Amos had a high personal single mark of 389 and in 1954 - 55 led the entire Exeter Men's loop with an 840 triple. As late as January, 1962 only a few days before his 80th birthday, Amos rolled a single game of 311 in a Christmas sweeps competition, After the dis- banding of the original Ringers, Amos bowled with two or three clubs and then re-organized a younger version of the Ringers in 1960. His interest in young people was shown as five of the new team members were 16 and under. Tinder his fine guidance, at least four of them, Don and Bill Wright, Brian Sanders and Jim Russell have blossomed into some of the best bowlers in the area. His presence at the alley wasn't confined to actual bowling. On any Tuesday or Thursday he could be found keeping score for the various ladies' teams and Saturday mornings helping the young- sters. Amos always had a friendly word for all bowl- ers, young and old. One of his earlier activities was throwing horseshoes behind Torn Jolly's blacksmith shop on Huron Street. He quit tossing shoes in 1961 saying it was too much work. "You have to heave the shoes thru the air, while in bowling, all you have to do is roll the ball down the alley." While in Ailsa Craig as an implement dealer for 15 years, Amos was one of the most proficient tossers in the area, throwing 85% ringers. His interest in bowling has spread down through the family with son Fred being a regular member of the IGA club in the men's league. His daughter, Lois (Mrs. Chuck Snell) and daughter-in- law Shirley just this past week helped the Hot Dogs to the Ladies' A' championship. Granddaughter, Darlene Snell is one of the most proficient minor bowlers and a valued member of the ladies' IGA team. Jack and Joe Darling are steady competitors in the local minor setup. The Darling family have donated a trophy in memory of their father, to be presented annually to the high average bowlers in the Exeter minor league. We wish to express our sincere sympathies to Amos Darling's family and know that he will be sorely missed at the bowling alley. OUR SELECTIONS Last week the predictions of the baseball ex- perts in the area were printed on these pages and now we'll reveal our choices. Without beating around, the bush, it will be the Detroit Tigers and Pittsburg Pirates in the World Series, come next October. At the moment the Tigers are in third place in the American and the Pirates are right behind the front running Giants in the senior circuit. Only two of the 14 "guessperts" polled, Mur- ray Brintnell and Howard Holtzman, share our views exactly. The big word in any team's chances is "if". The Tigers' hopes ride on the following — If Al Kaline remains in a healthy condition; if the young pitchers mature as expected and if Bill Free- han and Norm Cash return to their form of other years. The pitching staff turned in a good perform- ance on the weekend, splitting 1-0 decisions with the White Sox Friday and Saturday and taking a 3-1 decision in an extra inning contest Sunday. It was Freehan's homer that sent the contest past reg- ulation time, Cleveland, Baltimore, Chicago and Minnesota should round out the first five in the American. League. The Indians are off and running and getting fine pitching performances, especially from Tiara, Siebert and McDowell. Birdie Tebbets. a real pepper pot at the helm of the Indians will be depending on the speed of his pitchers and base runners to im- prove their fifth place finish of a year ago. The Tribe pitchers led the league in strikeouts in 1965 with 1,156 and their base stealers were runner-up with 109 pilfered sacks. In the National, the Pirates will have their most trouble with the Giants. Willie Mays is off to another fine start and has set a new league record for home runs with 512. Only Eabe Ruth, Jimmy Foxx and Ted Williams surpass him in total circuit blasts. The Pittsburg club strengthened their pen- nant chances with some winter trading and drafting. The trades brought Matty Alou from the Giants to strengthen the outfield and Pete Mikkelsen from the Yankees to bolster the bullpen staff. Jesse Gun- der was drafted from the Mets and Dave Roberts, who produced 38 home runs, 114 RBI's and a bat- ting average of .318 in 1965 was obtained from Okla- homa City, The Giants, Dodgers, Atlanta and St. Louis are our choices to complete the first five fin- ishers in the National loop. Existing records were broken at a merry clip during South Huron District High School's an- nual track and field competition held last Friday afternoon. No less than 18 previous marks were shattered in the boys' events and competition was spirited with ties being created for first place in two divisions. John Franklin, Craig Davidson and Robb Harrington each tallied B points in the senior boys ranks. In junior boys, teammates on the Exeter midget hockey club, John Loader and Jim Hayter proved to be best in the junior boys div- ision with 11 points apiece. Ron Youngash topped the intermediate boys with an even 12 points, Hayter and Loader were the only juniors to set new marks for the school, The former ran the 220 yards in 28.3 seconds and leaped 33 feet, 9 1/2 inches in the triple jump. Loader finish- ed the mile run in 5:34.6 minutes, heaved the shot put 34'4" and reached a height of 4'10" in the high jump. In senior competition Al Youngash joined two of the top competitors, Franklin and David- son in breaking two individual marks each. Franklin was best in the 100 and 220 yard dashes with respective times of 10.7 and 24.6 seconds. Davidson excelled in jumping events claiming the broad jump and triple jump with marks of 19'5 1/2" and 39'7 1/2" respectively. Youngash was best in the throwing departments heaving the shot and discus to new distances of 40'2" and 114'5" respectively. Joan Campbell chalked up 9 points to lead the junior girls and Margaret Bosch was best in senior girls events notching 8 points. Campbell took top spot in the 100 yard, 220 and high jump competitions. In senior ranks Bosch was first in the high jump and running broad jump and fin- ished second in the standing broad jump to finish a single point a- head of Dara Goodale. The best of the SHDHS athletes from last week's meet competed in a district track and field meet at Mitchell yesterday (Wednes- day).

Have $1000 for light The committee appointed to organize the erection of flood lights at the Exeter Community Park met in their weekly session at. the Town Hall Tuesday night. Contributions to date that have reached Treasurer Dave Cross now amount to $1000. The local Teen Town increased their orig- inal contribution by another $100. Individual donations will be ac- cepted at any time by Treasurer Cross at Victoria and Grey Trust and members of the committee will be doing some personal can- vassing in the next couple of weeks. The light fixtures are on order and the arrangements for secur- ing of poles are underway. Mem- bers of the committee visited the site Tuesday and made re- commendations to Rec Director Alvin Willert as to the location of the diamond. The present base- ball screen will be moved to the east to be situated directly in front of the grandstand. The dia- mond itself will he squared around somewhat to face in a northerly direction and will re- main north of the race track.
