Times-Advocate, October 27 1966 FOR ALL GOOD SPORTS By Ross Haugh. Pegs 6 Repeat for the H0.5$ Best in Rec league Taking the Rec league softball championship in three straight was the Exeter Legion nine. Shown above are members of the pennant winners. Front, from left, Chub Edwards, Don Mousseau, Murray Brintnell, coach Don Wells, manager Howard Holtzman, Jim Pinder and Jim Hennessey.

T-A photo Take three straight Rec ball title to Legion Kinsmen rally with Dick Roelof- son providing a big double. Four Legion runners came a- round in the fourth and another two scored in the sixth to bring the final count to 16-6. Mercer, Cy Blommaert and Pinder whack- ed back to back singles to pro- vide the bulk of the batting power in the fourth, while Jim Hennes- sey, Jim Finnen and Edwards batted in the final tallies with safe bingles. Don Mousseau went the full seven inning distance on the Le- gion mound and was really tough in the clutches. He wound the game up in a blaze of glory re- cording three strike-outs in the seventh. Virgil McNabb and Don Bell shared the Kinsmen hurling chores but were hampered by loose support by their mates. third and the Vets added singles in the fourth and fifth to lead 4-2 up to the fateful sixth. A double from the bat of Cy Blommaert with the bases load- ed and no one out in the sixth was the big blow that sent the Kinsmen down to defeat. Other big blows contributing to the Le- gion win were Jim Pinder's two run homer in the third and singles by Bill Mercer and Bob Baynham. Bill Rowe cracked a triple in the second to send Virgil McNabb and Don Bell home with the only Kin runs of the night. Ken Jack- son was the other member of the losing club to touch the combined offerings of Chub Edwards and Don Mousseau safely. McNabb and Bell again shared the Kinsmen pitching duties, al- lowing but four hits but were in constant trouble due to failure of their defensive corps. GO IN SIXTH A seven run Legion uprising in the sixth provided the dif- ference in the 11-2 win, Satur- day. Each team scored twice in the MIDDLETON Drags "77. —4-7=Aie • PHONE 235-1570 EXETER Astronomers estimate that there are at least 100 billion stars' in the MilkyTay syptem. As promised a week ago, here are the predic- tions on the outcome of the 1966-07 race in the Na- tional 'hockey league. This will be the last time speculators will only have six teams to choose from as a year from now an extra six clubs will be in the big time skirmish. Before our speculation, nothing has been heard of lately of the method the present NHL gover- nors will use in stocking the new American teams. Bach of the existing six clubs will give up 20 play- ers from their present rosters and farm systems, But the method in selecting and how many players each club will be able to protect has not been de- cided as yet. Back to picking the finish of the six clubs come next spring. It seems to be quite a necessity to maintain sort of an ignorance and avoid listening to the many so-called experts. We have never had too much luck listening to the experts, anyway. Some- thing akin to too many cooks spoiling the broth. As this is written, eight games have already been played, but too much stock cannot be placed on the early results. It would take a lot of optimism by the sup- porters of any club to predict that anyone can head off the Montreal Canadiens. The Habs, as they start away as champions, have stuck with pretty well the same line-up that brought the Stanley Cup to the Forum. The Canadiens have probably the biggest and best defensive corps in the league and are backed up by solid and experienced goal tending. Gump Worsley and Charlie Hodge may not be the most spectacular net guardians in the league but they come up with consistent performances year after year, Similar to baseball theories, a successful hockey club must be strong up the centre. The Habs have, in addition to 'capable goaling and their solid defence, at least three topnotch pivot men in John Beliveau, Henri Richard and Ralph Backstrom.. After picking the Montreal team to finish first, one could practically throw the names of the other five clubs in a hat and draw them out for the next five positions. The Black Hawks, without the services of Glenn Hall, have rung up three straight victories. Hall is apparently returning to the Chicago fold this week and should provide enought defensive strength to ensure the Hawks the runner-up position. The Windy City boys have lots of scoring power with the Hull brothers, Stan Mikita and Eric Nesterenko showing the early lead. The youth movement incorporated by the Boston Bruins will get a lot of attention and has already upped the optimism of the rooters in the Boston Gardens. Starting right at the coaching level the Bos- ton club has been taken over by the youngsters. Harry Sinden, the only rookie coach, comes to the bean towners with a lot of experience gained in World hockey and minor pro ranks and will be in- stilling a lot of desire into the kids. Bobby Orr, of course, is getting the majority of the publicity in the current campaign in Boston and will be the key in their attempt to get back into prominence. Recently ice fortunes in Boston have been 'at a low ebb and the fans are hoping for a re- currence of the good times led by the Kraut line.• The real problem arises when one tries to sin- gle out the recipient of the final .playoff berth. The Red Wings of Detroit are starting slowly, but this can be expected from a fairly veteran outfit. When the chips are down we expect Gordie Howe, Alex Delvecchio, Norm Ullman and company to be right in the thick of things. Last year Sid Abel's boys got off to a horrible start and came roaring back to get right back in contention. This leaves 'the Toronto Maple Leafs and New York Rangers out in the cold looking on when the Stanley Cup battles begin. The Rangers have been woefully weak in their farm system and seem to be depending on discarded talent from other clubs. In Toronto, coach Punch Imlach has had plenty of problems with his hirelings even before the season started and it could carry right onto the ice. FALL PLANTING came in to score as Edwards was forced at second on a grounder hit by Bill Mercer. The Kin clan tied the score temporarily in the second with a single marker. Catcher Jim Hew- itt banged a hot shot safely to left, moved up a notch on a pass- ed ball and romped in on the strength of a single from the bat of Virgil McNabb. Jim Pinder and Jerry Finnen circled the bases successfully in the second to put the Legion in front 3-1. Pinder was aboard as the result of a single and Finnen reached the paths on a Kinsman bobble. The best Kinsman scoring op- portunity came in the third, but again they were unable to capital- ize. Lloyd Moore and Ken Jackson led off with consecutive singles and Dick Roleofson was hit by a pitched ball to load the bases. Repeating his first inning feat, M ous se au recorded another strike out and got the other two outs on a grounder to third and a pop to short. The third inning proved dis- astrous for the Kinsmen cause as they committed six errors and the Legion bats added three hits, including two home runs to send seven runs home. Bob Baynham and Jerry Fin- nen walloped the round-trippers and Pinder added his second single of the afternoon. The losers added a single marker in the fourth and rolled up a pair in each of the fifth and sixth to complete their scoring total for the day. McNabb reached first on the first of three Legion errors of the day and completed his tour on Lloyd Moore's second bingle in the fourth. Hewitt and Ross Math- ers plated the fifth frame Kins- men markers as the result of Don Bell's double to left. Moore and Jackson came across in the final OF EVERGREENS is now in full swing The Exeter Legion duplicated the feat of the Baltimore Orioles by sweeping the Rec softball final series in three straight games. The Vets trounced the Kinsmen 11-2 Saturday night and came right backSunday afternoon with a 16-6 win to wind up the 1966 softball season locally. The inability to cash in on scoring opportunities cost the Kinsmen team dearly in the final game, Sunday. They managed to' load the bases with only one out in the first inning and accomplished the same set-up in the third with no one out, but were unable to get a runner across the plate. The victorious Legion nine tal- lied in every inning but the fifth in hanging up their decisive 16-6 romp. In the opening frame, Ron An- derson drew a walk and George Pratt and Ken Jackson followed with one base knocks to jam the bags and give the Kin boys a promising start. At this point, Legion hurler Don Mousseau got tough and retired the next two batters on a pop up and a strike out. Taking advantage of every op- portunity, the eventual winners scored once in their first turn at the stick and never looked back. Bob Baynham reached first on an infield error, moved to third on Chub Edwards' single to left and Play tightens in Legion darts A mere two points separate the first four clubs in the Exeter Legion mixed dart league after four weeks of action. The Hair- pins are in first place for the second straight week with a point accumulation of 16. The Dart Sharks and Itchy Four are right behind the iden- tical records of 15 and the Feath- erflights follow with 14. John Link leads the men in the number of games won with ten while Marj Edwards has six wins to lead the ladies' section. Ann Romaniuk and Madeline Wells are tops in the ladies single de- partment having thrown identical games of 125. Friday's scores were: Hairpins 4 — Four B's 1 Itchy Four 4 Generals 1 Dart Sharks 5 —Shiphunters 0 Featherflights 4—Legionnaires 1 Cleaners 4 — Bluebirds 1 Sharpshooters 3 — Canners 2 PEAT MOSS BAG 650 — $4.00 Locals excel in Listowel play The calibre of play in the Ex- eter Legion mixed dart league is of high quality as proven by three local teams participating in a Legion district tournament In Listowel, Saturday. Two Exeter duos finished one- two in the mixed doubles com- petition and a local squad finish- ed third in the four member teams section. The combination of Edna Dietz and John Link were best in doub- les play with Geraldine and Bill Smith close behind in second spot. The Smith's joined with Norma and Keith Brintnell to form the foursome finishing in third place. LOTS OF BLUE SPRUCE ON HAND Red Barberry on hand REDER'S FLORISTS 235-2603 The good showing of young Brian Conacher over the weekend is about the only bright spot in the Leaf picture to date, Without Frank Mahovlich their brand of hockey was pretty lacklustre. As we said before any of the five teams after Montreal could get into the playoff picture with the upsurgence of a star or two. Here we go with the official selections. Mon- treal, Chicago, Boston, Detroit, Toronto and New York in that order. LONG WINTER AHEAD A sheet of that slippery stuff went into the Exeter arena over the weekend and a busy sched- ule will be maintained throughout the winter. The first workout of the Exeter Hawks of the Shamrock junior league was held Tuesday night and the under twenty boys will be working out several times a week. A meeting is being held this week to work out the schedule for the seven clubs expected to par- ticipate. Leamington, Port Huron, Dresden, Belmont, Blenheim and Point Edward will be doing battle with the local entry. The Shamrock minor schedule involving local pee wee, bantam and midget clubs has been re- ceived and appears elsewhere on these pages, ARE WE READY FOR ANOTHER GOLD STOCK BOOM? It's coming!
