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.
