Four teams will be returning from a year ago and one new club, Exeter Teen Town, will round out a five-team loop. Due to high school exams, the Teen Towners will not start their part of the sked until June 23. Some changes have been made in playing rules, a compromise to the new OASA regulations, The pitchers box will remain at the previous distance of 40' 8 1/2 inches, but the base paths will be lengthened to 60 feet and the runners will be allowed to lead off as soon as the pitcher de- livers the ball, Any softball players in the area wishing to play in this fun league are requested to contact any of the teams.

THE STERLING TRUSTS Lawn bowlers ready to go The recent National baseball league home run record set by Willie Mays can't go without a few words from this corner. We thought some of our readers might be interested in some of the statistics behind Willie's wonderful homer career that is still going strong. Of his total of 512 circuit blasts 353 were hit against right handed pitchers and 159 off the southpaw variety. Mays was at his best against his arch rivals, the Dodgers, slamming 85 homers against their pitching. Forty-one were hit off Dodger hurlers while they were in Brooklyn and another 44 since they moved out to Los Angeles. It was at 9:08 o'clock in the evening of May 4, 1966 that Willie Mays became the National league's premier home run slugger of all time. It was his 512th of his major league career, surpassing the previous record held by the late Mel Ott, also a Giant. No doubt this latest feat of Mays will fortify his chances to follow Ott's footsteps in another way, to the Hall of Fame, There are now only three men in all of baseball that are ahead of Willie in home run production. Two of these, Ted Williams (521) and Jimmy Foxx (534) are well within Mays' reaches. The only mark that will be difficult to equal will be that of the Sultan of Swat, Babe Ruth, who hit 714. The rapidness of Willie's rise to the top of the National loop is seen when his homer hitting record is compared with Ott's. The former star with the same club, then the New York Giants, consumed 20 years in compiling his enviable record. Mays did it in only 15 years and 22 games of the current sea- son. The home run story of Willie Howard Mays started on May 28, 1951, on his first appearance at the Polo Grounds as a Giant. He was 0-for-12 and was a nervous, frightened, discouraged 19-year-old boy, Then he hit a home run, off the Braves' Warren Spahn, and the spell was broken but not completely eliminated. He went into another slump that left him wracked with frustration. At this time he went to manager Leo Durocher, tears pouring down his cheeks and sobbed, "Mr. Leo, send me back down, I told you I couldn't hit this pitching." He had come to the Giants from Minneapolis of the American As- sociation hitting .477 for 35 games. Events subsequent to that tearful plea to Dur- ocher prove, if nothing else, that Mays is the world's worst prophet. It was almost as if destiny had writ- ten the script for No. 512 for it set things up that Mays would shatter an all-time record by getting his home run against a top flight pitcher. When Willie came up in the fifth, Claude ()steer' throwing for the Dodgers, had gone 96 and two-thirds innings, dating back to September 7, 1965, without yielding a home run. Comparing Mays' record to date with that of the great Ruth, we find the "Sey Hey" guy of the Giants is only slightly behind the Yankee as far as ages are concerned. Willie hit his 512th only two days before his 35th birthday and Ruth was about 34 years and eight months old when he belted his 512th. Ruth hit his final round-tripper at the age of 40, which gives Willie almost five full seasons to hit about 200 out-of-the-park drives to equal the all-time record. Windmills '13' playoff winners The Windmills, pictured above, composed mainly of members of the Brand family captured the Exeter Men's B play-off title and were nosed out by the Unpredictables, A champs, in a close-five game set. Front, from left, Bert Brand, Jim Brand, Bob Brand and Bill Vandeworp. Back, Albert Vandeworp, Teo Van Steeg, Bill Kleinhaar and Simon Brand. Fred Tilley, president of the Exeter Lawn Bowling club, re- ports everything is in readiness for another busy season at the local greens. More than 30 enthusiastic bowlers were out Saturday even- ing but were able to get in very little action due to the cool weath- er. The first official competition was held at the Exeter greens yesterday afternoon, Wednesday, a district men's doubles event. Art Cann is vice-president of the Exeter club and Ray Mills is the secretary-treasurer. The ex- ecutive includes: chairman of lo- cal games, Howard Ince; chair- man of grounds, Howard Truem- ner; publicity, Len McKnight and Lillian pym. Any new partici- pants will be welcome any Tues- day or Saturday evening. TRUE TO FORM The recent firing of Manager Johnny Keane by the New York Yankees seems to follow a set pat- tern by the Gotham baseball officials. Keane joins a very distinguished group of managers who have re- ceived the bum's rush by the Yanks. Others who have felt the boot over the years include Babe Ruth, Joe McCarthy, Bucky Harris, Yogi Berra and Casey Stengel. It seems a bit of an unfortunate situation, but we can't feel sorry for Keane. His biggest mis- take has to be when he left the world champion Cardinals and moved right over to the team he had defeated. Late in the '64 season, Cards' owner Gus- sie Busch wanted to fire Johnny but Keane failed to co-operate and went on to win the pennant and the World Series. After this sort of miracle finish by the Cards, Busch was willing to relent and give Keane another chance by giving him a blank contract, say- ing you fill in the amount, John. Instead Keane went for the long ball, vengeance. Now vengeance gives you a nice feeling—for all of 20 seconds. It's like winning a fight with your wife—you'll pay later. Hardy birds win races MISS DIZZY It was interesting to read in a recent issue of Sporting News, a letter from a fan in Florida stating that he missed Dizzy Dean on the Game of the Week telecasts. We agree with most of Dean's critics that he certainly "moidered" the English language with phrases such as "he slud into second" or "he swang and missed", It was his detours into matters of all kinds of life that made his broadcasts interesting. Quoting from the letter, "I sure miss Dizzy Dean not being on the Game of the Week. Pee Wee Reese and Curt Gowdy are fine baseball announcers but I have no way of finding out how the potato, grape and onion crops are doing in the southwest. Also, I have trouble finding records of the Wabush Cannonball and no longer know how the fishing, golf tourneys and dove hunting are coming." COMING UP The Exeter Saddle Club will be presenting its first annual Mid-Western Quarter horse show on June 18. The show will be held 21/2 miles west of Exeter on Huron Street with Frank A. Carver of Crookston, Nebraska as the approved judge. Birds from the flocks of Clar- ence and Jack Hardy dominated the latest races of the Lucan Homing Pigeon Club. A real challenge faced the pigeons in a test from Grand Mere, Quebec, a distance of 490 miles. Some 22 birds from eight lofts made the long haul from the Quebec community and a Clarence Hardy protege was first to arrive at the home roost, averaging 878,5 yards per min- ute, Birds from the Jack Hardy colony took down the first three places in an event from Oshawa on May 21. The top three placers arrived within three minutes of each other making the lengthy jaunt in just over three hours. In an 80 mile test from George- town the same day, a Clarence Hardy bird again proved best, edging one from Jack's loft by a mere 16 seconds. Four teams set for H-P Sandu stars for CE team A meeting is being held to- night, Thursday, in Hensall to draw up the schedule for the upcoming Huron-Perth baseball season: Four teams are expected to see action in the area's oldest ball loop, Dashwood, 'Zurich, Mitchell and a junior club from Walker- ton will comprise the circuit governed by president Bob Sad- ler of Staffa and secretary John Livertnore of Clinton, Sandu of Tanzania, on course at CFB Centralia, paced the Cen- tralia soccer team to a 5-4 win over Strathroy On Saturday in a game of the London and District Soccer League at Stra.thrOy. Kikuli and Sandu scored for Centralia in the first half and Morris Made it 3-0 early in the second, Strathroy answered with two goals less than a minute apart to put them back in the game, but goals by Mwandetele and Sandu again, clinched the game for Centralia, Centralia's next game will be played Saturday at Ingersoll. Next home game is Saturday, June 11, at CFI3 Centralia sports field against the German Canadians from London.
