Fern Dougali crossed the platter before the side was out to give the Exeter gals the victory. Patti Robinson and June Chut- er hooked up in a tight pitchers' battle and the Greys spurt in the sixth proved to be the difference. formers ending in a stalemate for top spot. Lloyd Cushman, Jim Russell, Jacques Verreault and Wally Burton each finished with a net total of 72. Russell would have probably won the event had he not shown loyalty to his hockey Idol, Gordie Howe, Big Jim used a "big nine" to complete the seventh bole. Verreault compiled the lowest gross score of the night, turning in a 78. Showing improvement every time out, the Exeter Greys rang up three straight Huron Ladies softball wins, outlasting Winthrop 23-16, Thursday, shutting out Goderich 12-0, Saturday anal edg- ing Hensall Golds 4-1 on the Exeter diamond, Tuesday. The new lights at Exeter Com- munity Park seemed to agree with the local ladies as they turn- ed in a fine performance indown- ing Hensall 4-1. The well attend.. ed contest was close all the way, with the Greys scoring all of their runs in the bottom of the sixth to gain the victory. Hensall took a quick 1-0 lead in the second as Mary Lou Hyde OFFICIAL OPENING of the new FLOODLIGHTS Kings start move, dump Tigers twice at Exeter Community Park Top performer Jim Brown of CFB Centralia and regular goalie of last year's Exeter Pee Wee hockey club was judged the best player of the week at the Muskoka Summer Hockey School.

Fri., Aug.5 Zurich Lumber Kings defeated the Dashwood Tigers in a pair of Huron-Perth loop games over the past week. The Kings romped away with a 13-3 win Friday and eked out a 7-6 squeaker, Tuesday. Both games were played on the Dashwood diamond and squared their league's season record at two wins each. Five big markers in the third frame, and two more in the fourth on four base hits, produced the Zurich run total, Tuesday, The Tigers tallied twice in the second, added three in the third and added a singleton in the fifth. The Tiger second inning runs were scored on a hit batter, a walk and a couple of errors with- out benefit of a base hit. Jim Hayter's triple to the left field fence, two Zurich miscues, a free ticket to first and Bill Schade's single gave the Tigers three in the fourth. Bob Hoffman slammed a ground rule double in the fifth to chase Bob Webb to third, after he reach- ed first on an error, Webb cross- ed the plate on another wild throw and another walk filled the sacks, but Dick Bedard on the Zurich mound forced Gord Vincent to pop Bantams post close verdict Exeter I3antams avenged a pre- vious 11-I loss to Seaforth by bouncing back on their own dia- mond, Thursday to win 8-6. Five runs in the third with Ron Gras- dahl' s bases crammed triple sup- plying the power assured the victory for the local youngsters. Greg Revington gained the Ex- eter pitching victory, and was touched for ten hits, but was able to bear down in the clutch and hold the Seaforth kids sufficiently at bay. Catcher Doug Finkbeiner re- corded the only perfect night at the plate for the home team, col- lecting two singles and a free ticket to first in three jaunts to the plate. SCORE EARLY In Thursday's game played in Winthrop, the Greys started off with a bang to score 12 times in the first inning and were able to post a 23-16 win, despite an eight run reprisal by the home club in the bottom of the last inning, Triples were the order of the first frame, with no less than four Exeter lassies accomplish- ing the feat. Ann Cronyn, Fern Dougall, Patti Robinson and Pat Down bashed out the three-bag- gers. Down and Robinson were the top Grey hitters in the game, each contributing another triple along with a single, Regular infielder Audrey Pool- ey was back in action in the latter part of the game after suf- fering an early season injury and drew walks in the same number of times at the plate. Patti Robinson tossed the full seven innings for Exeter and chalked up her fourth win of the season.

Snell singled twice and drew a walk in addition to her long blow in five trips to the plate and scored four runs. The Greys hit the score sheet early, scoring twice in the open- ing frame, adding three in the second, cashing in for five in the third and finished with a two run flurry in the seventh. Three Goderich runners were able to get as far as third, but could not dent the plate as Pat Down on the Greys' mound was in complete control of the game and recorded the first shut-out of the season. Connie Kernick slammed out a triple in the initial stanza to ac- count for the first pair of Exeter tallies. Checks vets Jim Pfaff, hard throwing right- bander of the Zurich Lumber Kings is shown above after hold- ing the Listowel Legionnaires to two hits in three innings of action in the Huron-Perth All-Star con- test in Dashwood, Sunday. The lights were on, BUT Go to Stratford walked to lead off the inning and came around to register on a double from the bat of Muriel Ferguson. The Greys threatened often in the early frames but were un- able to get to pay dirt until the sixth, In each of the first, sec- ond and fourth frames, the first Exeter batter reached the base paths and advanced as far as third but could not complete the cycle. After one was out in the sixth, Joan Campbell singled through the infield, moved to third as Patti Robinson raced to second on a wild throw and both girls came in to score on a single by to left for the final out. Phil Overholt, Bob McNaughton and Bruce Horton garnered two hits apiece for the winning Kings. Jim Pfaff andDick Bedard shared the Zurich pitching duties while Bill Schade and Eugene Guenther toiled for Dashwood, TEN RUN SPURT Zurich erupted for ten big runs in the fifth to salt away the 13-3 win in Dashwood, Friday. Don O'Brien singled twice and drove in four runs during the big' out- burst. Bob Johnson was the top King slugger of the night, getting three safeties, all of the single variety. Art Rader shone in the Dash- wood batting cause, getting three of the club's seven hits. Jim Hay- ter, Whitey Denomme, Richard Rader and Bob Webb completed the Dashwood bingle total.

Chesley HURON-PERTH STANDING Vets have black night The weather over the past few weeks has been anything but suitable for hockey, but several area youngsters have been attending hockey schools in various parts of the country to improve their winter time skills. When most boys are at the beach. absorbing the sun, these ambitious youngsters are spending about four hours a day in actual hockey drills on the ice. Don Farrell, of (TB Centralia and a member of last year's Exeter bantam club, is having a full summer of ice activity. Don \rill be spending six weeks in all at the Fenelon Falls camp of the Stukus brothers, Bill and Frank. In addition to getting schooling in his own age class, he is helping as a junior counsellor with the younger boys. Peter Kleinstiver of Dashwood, and a member of the 1965-66 Exeter Pee Wees, is now in the midst of a three-week sojourn at the same school. Milt Schmidt is the chief instructor and is getting coach- ing assistance from Ed Chadwick and Allan Stanley. One of the largest instructional hockey schools in Ontario is the Tam 0' Shanter operated in the Toronto area by Harry Watson. Frank and Peter Mahovolich, Eddie Shack and Kent Douglas are some of the instructors and get into actual scrimmage with the older boys. Graham Hern, a member of the 1963 Exeter Pee Wees, winners of the "C" title in the Young Canada tournament in Goderich and now living in Milton attended the Tam 0' Shanter for several weeks. Another member of the last edition of the local Pee Wees, goalie Jim Brown of CFB Centralia, spent the past week at Bracebridge in session with 45 other youngsters at an instructional camp super- vised by Roger Crozier of the Detroit Red Wings. Brown, a 12-year-old, came away with the award as the best player in the entire camp. GIRLS SCORE OFTEN In last week's issue of the T-A, it was men- tioned that the Exeter Greys probably set a modern softball scoring record by notching 17 runs in one inning. This week we read of a couple of scores in an Eastern Ontario ladies' loop that reached pre- posterous figures. The Codrington Jayettes, in the Trenton area, defeated Brighton 64-1 and 94-6, in believe-it-or-not, five-inning games. Wouldn't the Toronto Argonauts loved to have had scores like that for two of their games last year? In high scoring contests as these, it was prob- ably more a case of the batters tiring out than the pitchers. One of the stars of the winning Codring- ton club, Kathy Massey, .clouted five home runs in the lowest scoring tilt of the two. Don Mousseau and Dick Ben- nett shared the losing Legion pitching chores and Chub Ed- wards led the losing batting at- tack, notching a single and double in three efforts at the pan. Norma Coleman shot the low score at the weekly outing of the Exeter Ladies' Golf Club, Tues- day evening. Ida S weitzer used the most drives as 15 members tour- ed the nine-hole course. Members of the local ladies' club have accepted an invitation to play an exhibition round in Stratford, August 11. The new floodlights at Exeter Community Park were switched on for the first time Monday night for an actual game, but the officials must have forgotten to tell the Exeter Legion. Playing as if they were in the dark, the Vets succumbed to the Bowling Lanes by a 15-1 count. In an earlier contest the same evening, the Kinsmen edged the up and coming Teen Towners 10-8 in extra innings. BELL TRIPS TEENERS Relief pitcher Don Bell was the big cog in the Kinsmen ex- citing 10-8 win over Teen Town. The fire-balling righ t-hander took- over the Kin mound in the sixth, striking out seven in the balance of the game, and deliver- ing a home run in the ninth with Ken Jackson aboard to sew up the win. Catcher George Pratt was a key factor in the winning batting barrage, singling home two run- ners in the first and delivering a triple in the fourth. — Please turn to page 7 11111111111111111111111111 1 1111111 111111 13 .1111111111111111111 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 1/1 111111111111111111111111 Ladies show way The ladies took the spotlight at Tuesday's weekly outing of the Exeter Lawn bowling club at the local green. Mabel McKnight compiled the best record of the evening, two wins and a plus of 19, Following closely in second spot was Lillian Pym with two wins and a plus of 17. A plus of 14 and two wins moved Verne Smith into third place, while Ray Smith and Harry MeenS tied for the next position with two wins and 13. as the result of a double from the bat of Gord Strang. Three consecutive Legion mis- cues in the fourth loaded the bases and set the steps for a grand slam home run by Ron Bogart. Gord Slaght went the distance on the Lanes' mound, tossing a neat four hitter and aided his own cause with a long round- tripper in the bottom of the sixth. Slaght recorded seven strike-outs over the seven inn- ing stretch. Little and Gilfillan of the win- ners had the distinction of reach- ing the base paths in every one of their five trips to the dish and scored on four occasions. Joe Wooden and Jim Russell gathered the most "bowler" hits, with three bingles apiece, MISCUES KILL VETS Fielding errors—nine in all— proved the downfall of the Le- gion, Monday, as the Lanes slaughtered them 15-1.

Ken Benjamin went the first five innings on the Listowel hill and was follOwed by Doug Raw- lings and Bob Nelson in two- inning shifts each. Bob Zister was the top hitter for Listowel with three singles and was followed closely bySteve Kyle, Who stroked a pair of singles in three trips. Kyle, a native of Hensall and presently a member of the Stratford Hoods of the Intercounty senior series, was a spectator at the game and was pressed into catching ser- vice for the Vets in the sixth. Close to 300 area baseball fans attended the All-Star action, the first in the last five years of HurOn-Perth activity. Listowel Legionnaires came on strong to score ten times in the last three innings and post a 12-4 decision over the Huron- Perth All-Stars in Dashwood, Sunday afternoon. The Listowel crew are cur- rently in second place in the Senior Intercounty only a game and a half out of first. The Stars put all their eggs in one basket, scoring four big markers in the second on the strength of Art Rader's bases- loaded triple. Jim Pfaff of Zurich Lumber Kings went the first three innings on the H-P mound and was in rare form, allowing but two hits and striking out four. George Coveney of Mitchell came on in the fourth, allowed two Listowel tallies in the fifth artd went along nicely until he ran into trouble in the seventh, Don O'Brien of Zurich and Eugene Guenther followed in the fateful Stretch inning when the visitors tallied five times. Joe Berberialr of Walkerton came on in the eighth to finish up. SOME INTRIGUING NAMES In checking over the rosters of the 20 teams in the two major leagues we find some intriguing surnames.
