Greys drop pair, but both are close FOR AW, GOOD SPORTS By Rose Haugh Nick takes aim at fourth title Exeter mound, allowing seven hits. Kids keep on win streak IN TROUBLE. EARLY The Greys ran into trouble early in Brucefield, Friday, as the home club sent their first eleven batters around to score before an out could be made. After the drastic first frame, the Greys settled down and held the home club to two-run rallies in the third and sixth. The Exeter gals kept pecking away at the plate and scered three in the first and added four in each of the fifth and sixth but couldn't overcome the early deficit. Exeter's two Minor baseball clubs stayed on the winning trail as the Pee Wees won their seventh and eighth victories of the season to remain undefeated and the bantams won their fifth in six starts. The Pee Wees had their closest call of the year in St, Marys Monday as they edged the Stone Town boys 7-6 after downing Mit- chell on the local diamond Friday by a 17-9 score, The bantam youngsters doubled the score in Mitchell Monday tak- ing a 12-6 verdict. ,Exeter Greys dropped a pair of Huron Ladies softball tilts by close scores, as they dropped a 15-12 decision in BrUcefield, Friday, arid were edged by Win- throp 4-3 on the Exeter diamond, Tuesday. A single Winthrop run in the top of the seventh broke up a 3-3 tie that had existed in Tuesday's contest from the third inning on. The Greys were first to hit pay dirt, scoring twice in the second and added a single in the third. The visitors scored a trio of runs in the top of the third and the clubs battled on even terms until the tie-breaker in the seventh. Fern Dougall and Jan Bennett were the top Grey hitters, col- lecting three bingles apiece. Pat Down went the distance on the The main form of transport at Expo 67 will be by the Expo Ex- press railway and it will be free. lllllll 111$11110.1.101101111101 iii 11$ iiiii g f111111111111111111111111111111111 I iiiiiii 1141i iiii t01111)11111011 iiiii ft,134111 i iiii SHADE ST.

Dale MacKenzie came through with a pair of singles to aid the winning cause,. Jim Brown, taking over the mound duties in relief of Paul McKnight in the third inning gain- ed his sixth pitching win of the season. McKnight retired with a runner on first in the third after developing a sore arm. Brown struck out five and walked two in giving up one earned run. COME FROM BEHIND A nine run rally in the sixth frame gave the local pee wees their margin of victoryover Mit- chell at their home park Friday. Randy Preszcator started on the Exeter mound and ran into a streak of wildness in the third and was relieved by Jim Brown. Brown gave up two hits and struck out five in gaining the victory for the home team. Jack Darling with a double and two singles in five at bat led the homesters'attack ably assisted by two singles from the bat of Den- nis Ferguson. 1965 CORVAIR 500 SPORT SEDAN White with red interior.

Nick Weslock has hopes of becoming the first golfer in the 44-year history of the Ontario Open to win the event three years in succession. Weslock, a veteran golfer and the same age as the Open itself, took the Carling Cup in 1964 and 1965 when he shot a record 204 in 54 holes with scores of 68-67-69. He also won the Open in 1946, 1949, 1959 and 1962. Nick has already qualified for a position on the Canadian team that will be travel- ling to England for the 1966 Carling World cham- pionship, August 31 to September 3. He was low Canadian in last year's Canadian Amateur and low amateur at the 1965 Carling World, in which he has played each year the international event has been held. The Ontario Open will, however, still provide a man for Canada's world team. Should Weslock, or anyone who has already qualified, be the winner, the spot will go to the next lowest Canadian pro. Others who have already cinched their trip to the UK are George Knudson. Moe Norman and Bob Pan- asiuk. These will be joined by the winners of the Manitoba Open, Quebec Open and the Millar cham- pionship that will be played in Etobicoke late this month. Weslock, an engineer and businessman from Burlington predicts that at Kingston this week "ac- curacy off the tee, a strong short game and putting touch will be the keys to the Ontario Open." COMPLETING LIGHTS The final work on the installation of the floodlights at the softball diamond at Exeter Com- munity Park is expected to be completed this week. The lights will be used for a couple of Rec league games before the official opening ceremonies are held, probably in about two weeks. The high- light of the first official night will be an exhibition game between a London City league team and an all-star aggregation from the local recreation loop. Plans are also underway to open the evening with an old-timers game to start around 8 o'clock. This would bring out the former stars who are not actively engaged in organized ball of any kind. Any- one wishing to display their former softball or base- ball talents or a reasonable facsimile thereof are asked to contact Derry Boyle. Get the liniment bot- tles ready.

A Calgarian, Lyle Philpott, tour- ing a Jasper golf course sliced a drive into a water hazard. On searching for his ball, he and the other members of his foursome found a good sized trout struggling close to death with a golf ball size bruise on its head. A trout was seen to leap out of the water as Philpott was hitting the ball. The other odd occurrence took place in a minor pro baseball game at Burlington, Iowa. Bill Bradley of the home club hit a long drive that ap- peared to be going over the fence. The first thing to drop to the ground was a night hawk, completely dead from being hit by the ball. Incidentally, the ball after being slowed down by this flying object, still eluded the fielders and Bradley wound up with a double.

S. McIntosh of Ailsa Craig finished in the runner-up posi- tion with Ross Taylor, Exeter, Bert Gray, Clinton and Ray Mills, Exeter, finishing in that order. The top award at Tuesday's local bowling jitney held at the Exeter club greens went to Art Cann with Mrs. Ray Mills wind- ing up as second best. Fred Tilley, Wilf Goodwin, Pat Cross and Bill Etherington were also in the money. EDGE TEENERS A five run rally in the top of the fifth to go with a single run in the first gave the Kinsmen a 6-5 verdict over the up and com- ing Teen Towners, Jim Hewitt and Dave McCut- cheon connected for two base blows and George Pratt and Ron Anderson added singles to power the game winning attack. Singles by McCutcheon and Dick Roelof- son sent Hewitt home in the first. The Teeners struck for four runs in their half of the first as the result of one mighty swipe by Larry Willert with the bases jammed. John Snell singled to open the second and came around to score the final youngsters' run on a double bypitcher Dave Wood, Virgil McNab was the winning Kin hurler, getting some relief help from Don Bell in the seventh, first inning, but the Lanes came right back to score four of their own in the bottom of the frame to take the lead. Slaght provided the key blow as he smashed out a grand slam homer. After the Legion tied the con- test in the fourth, the losers came back to open up a two-run lead in the sixth, Bob Russell knocked in the first run and Gard Slaght crossed the plate with the second when the Vets made an unsuccessful at- tempt at a rundown on the fleet- footed Russell, who managed to dive back into second. That set the stage for the final frame when Don Mousseau led off with a single and was followed onto the base paths by Chub Ed- wards who made it on an error. Brintnell then whacked his key blow into left field. Mousseau retired the Lanes in order in the last half of the game to preserve the win. The Legion downed the Bowl- ing Lanes 7-6 Monday night to take ,over first place in the Ex- eter and District softball league. In other action during the week, the Kinsmen moved back into contention with 6-5 and 21-5 decisions over Teen Town and Centralia, respectively, Murray Brintnell was the hero of the close verdict the Vets managed over the Lanes as he slapped a three-run homer in the top of the seventh to cop the win. The Legion crew started off in high style as they picked up three runs off Gord Slaght in the Randy Ferguson and Allan Mc- Lean are the team's individual leaders in the hitting department. Ferguson leads in runs batted in with 24 and has nine extra base blows and McLean has scored 18 runs and stolen 19 bases. alellellellile1111111111111fflene111111111111111111111111111111111e11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111th SIMPSON BEST SATURDAY Harold Simpson was the best in Saturday's regular evening of lawn bowling.

KIN TROUNCE CENTRALIA Home runs from the bats of Dave McCutcheon, Virgil McNab and George Pratt powered the Kinsmen to their 21-5 victory over Centralia, Monday.

A proposal at the recent annual meeting of the Bowling Proprietors' Association of Ontario could mean good news for the average five-pin bowler. A past president of the organization, Carl Malcolmson, of Hamilton, suggested that the necessity of picking the corner "counter pin" be eliminated from the popular sport. This move, if it is incorporated into the bowl- ing game, will do away with the "blow" and improve the scores of many bowlers. In a lot of cases the failure to nail the counter pin is highly pyschological and if a bowler knows he does not necessarily need the corner pin to count his score should be higher. Another thing this would eliminate would be the "blow can", for most teams have a small container that takes a nickel every time a member of the team fails to count, No action was taken at the meeting on this proposal that could revolutionize the five-pin sport, AND FROM OVER 'OME For the next three weeks, England will be the scene of one of the world's largest sports spec- tacles, Teams representing 16 countries will be bat- tling for the World Cup, the symbol of soccer supremacy.
