Off to good start While the major league baseball season is only a week old, Canadians can already be proud of the accomplishments of a native son, Fergie Jenkins, a graduate of minor baseball ranks in Chatham is probably the first Canadian born ball player to draw down an opening day pitch- ing assignment. The six foot-five inch Jenkins, not only start. ed the first game of the season for the Chicago Cubs, but came out with a win and a satisfactory perform- ance, In his second starting attempt, Sunday, he was lifted in the seventh inning in a game against Pittsburgh with the Cubs leading 5-2. He gave up two runs and five hits and struck out two. Although the Chicago Cubs lost the game in the ninth inning Jenkins was not charged with the loss. The Chatham born youngster was traded to Chicago by the Philadelphia. Phils late last season and immediately impressed manager Leo Durocher. He won six games for the Cubs as the season closed out and continued this fine record into this year's spring training games. In fact, in his first outing back on March 10, Fergie struck out the first five San Francisco Giants he faced in an exhibition contest. Included in the strike-out victims were Willie Mays and Willie Mc- Covey, two of •the top batting stars in the National league. Jo-Jo White, one of the Cub coaches, says Jenkins has to be one of the best young pitchers in the major leagues right now. White continued, "All I know is that when I was with the Atlanta Braves last year, Hank Aaron told me he hated to hit against Jenkins. Anyone Aaron doesn't want to hit against deserves a medal." The only two problems Fergie seems to have now are throwing too many home run balls and keep- ing his weight up. The Chatham youngster says his best playing weight is 202, but late in spring train- ing he had dropped off to 195. He now drinks a tall glass of orange juice with two eggs beaten in at least twice a day in trying to stay above the 200 pound mark. While winning six games last year, Jenkins was rapped for 24 home runs in 184 innings of play. This averages out to one homer in every seven innings pitched and such a high ratio can be fatal, particularly if the homers come with men on, base. to slide the puck into the net on a relay from Craig Chapman and Scott Burton. This goal tied the count at 3-3 and set the stage for Morrissey's score on the un- usual situation, The fifth Hawk counter, scored by Mike Cushman at 17.28, pro- vided the crowd of 1,069 with plenty of thrills. Cushman was sent into the clear and was upset by goalie Forler as he worked in close but was able to reach around with one hand and direct the puck into the net. A long high drive by Ron Brod- erick from the left point found the range as time was running out in the second to give the Hawks a commanding 6-3 lead. The Hahns came out flying in the third as if they intended to end the series right there and then and seared twice within eight minutes to cut the Hawk lead to 6-5. Chuck Harmer and Jim Nahr- gang were on the firing end of the successful shots. Retaliation was quick for the Hawks as Gary Parsons immediately took a pass from centre Mike Cushman from the face-off and scored only six seconds after Nahrgang's mark- er. Craig Chapman put the icing on the cake at 11.30 with a blaz- ing slap shot from the point that caught the top left corner of the net while the Hawks were enjoy- ing a one man advantage. Paul Young put the Hawks into the lead before the game was three minutes old as he put the puck behind New Hamburg goalie Tim Ferler on a solo effort. Halms' solid defenceman Don Culbert evened the count at '7,52 on a blistering slap shot from the blue line. Being in the right spot at the right time paid off for hard, working 13111 Chipchase just past the 12 minute mark as he steer- ed in a pass from defenceman Ron Broderick. New Hamburg's top goal getter Bob Ruthig put his mates back on an even keel as he picked up a loose puck near the Exeter net and hit the mark as the second hand was making its last cycle. The middle stanza was only 20 seconds old when Ruthig put the Halms ahead for the only time in the game on a play started by Chuck Harmer and Orset Romashyna. At 4.28, Gary Parsons finished off one pf the best passing plays of the night as he skated in close Chipchase, Dennis Morrissey, Craig Chapman, lion Broderick, Mike Cushman and Paul Young. With the score tied at 3-3 mid- way through the second period a Very unusual play seemed to turn the tide in favour of the Exeter six. The puck was behind the Exeter net when a New Hamburg player upset the Exeter puck carrier and the referee immediately put up his arm to signify a delayed pen- alty. At the same time as Dennis Morrissey was picking his way out of his own pane, Hawk goalie Tom Glavin saw the penalty be, lag called and raced to the bench and was replaced by captairiCraig Chapman. Chapman quickly took part in the play and gained an assist on the goal that was scored by Morrissey to put his club in front 4-3. From this point on the Hawks Were never headed although the Halms cut the lead to a single goal at one point in the third period. The outcome of the OHA, junior "C" semi-final series between the Exeter Hawks and New Ham- burg Hahns will be known by the time this issue of the T-Ahits the street. The seventh and deciding game of the set was played in NeW Hamburg last night, Wed- nesday. The winner will move into the provincial final, probably against Aurora. The Hawks kept their hopes alive with a thrilling 8-5 win an Exeter ice Tuesday after losing Friday and Saturday contests in New Hamburg by respective scores of 9-3 and 6-0 to fall be- hind in the series three games to two. SPREAD GOALS AROUND Seven members of the Hawks shared In the scoring as the y stayed in contention with the 8-5 Tuesday win in the best played game of the six games to date. Gary Parsons, turning in his finest performance of the play- offs, scored twice to lead the at- tack. Singles were added by Bill Itchy Six best in Intertown The Exeter Itchy Six proved to be the best group of bowlers in the regular play of the district Men's Intertown league that included teams from Stratford, St. Marys, Mitchell and Shakespeare.

Pacing the attack was centre Ron Mark, who flew infrom Har- vard University in Boston for the weekend games. Mark was in on all but one of the New Hamburg scoring plays, scoring twice and assisting on three others. The Hahns wasted little time hitting the score sheet, notching three goals before nine minutes had elapsed inthe openingperiod. Chuck Harmer blinked the light twice and Savo Vujovic on one occasion to put the home club up 3-0, The Hawks were able to curtail the New Hamburg scoring power to a single goal in the second twenty minutes of play. It was scored by Mark. In the final session, Mark and Bob Ruthig were the successful shooters for the Hahns. In the penalty department, the Exeter boys held quite an edge, being called by the referees on 12 occasions while the Hahns were only detected for five in- fractions. In the 9-3 loss in New Ham- burg Friday the Hawks stayed in the running for most of the first forty minutes of play. With the score tied at 2-2, the Hahns broke loose with three goals in 46 seconds, the first coming with an Exeterite sitting out a tripping penalty. The Hawks made their final reply with a single goal early in the third period and then the Hahns completed the rout with four unanswered counters to sew — Please turn to page 7 Minor bowlers advance to Lake Huron zone finals ONLY TWO STRIKES ? "Far it's one — two — three strikes and you're out at the old ball game." These are the words of an old baseball song that may have to be changed if officials in Toronto and Detroit are successful with an experiment they are going to be trying out this summer. A Toronto city softball league and a Detroit baseball loop are going to give a try at cutting down to two the number of strikes needed by a pitcher to retire a batter. At the same time a batter will only need to work the pitcher for three balls in order to draw a free ticket to first base. The reason given for the change is that it will speed up the game. We feel there are other ways than this to keep the game moving better. Less conferences out on the field and eliminating the habit of pitchers in taking their glove off and rub- bing the ball before every pitch should help. The latter move, in most cases, isn't to get the ball in better shape, but to keep the batter waiting and pos- sibly give the pitcher a psychological edge. One thing the new rules would do would be pretty well eliminate the batter who likes to get up there and wait for at least two strikes before taking a swing in the hopes of drawing a walk. It will cer- tainly keep the boys swinging. BELL LINES by W. W.

The population of the town of Exeter was swelled for at least one day as some 245 youngsters visited the Exeter Bowling Lanes to compete in the Lake Huron southern zone bowling tourna- ment, Saturday. A total of 49 teams from God- erich, Wingham, Brussels, Clin- ton, Adastral Park Clinton, St. Marys, Blyth and Exeter vied for the zone titles in junior and senior boys and girls categories. The two top clubs in each division earned the right to meet the best of the northern zone in a final playoff in Wingham, Sat- urday. Three Exeter clubs, along with two each from Goderich and Lis- towel and one from Wingham, qualified for this week's roll- off. The Exeter junior girls finish- ed in first place in their partic- ular category while the two sen- ior quintets placed second. Exeter's minor bowling direc- tor Ruth Durand was in charge of keeping the full day's pro- gram running smoothly and was April seems to be a favorite month for many people. In spite of a few sudden, mad, final bursts of winter, spring does seem to promise that the warm weather of summer is really on its way. In many communities Daylight Saving Time brings a few extra hours of daylight and most prop- erty owners are anxious to begin work out of doors. In fact, during the blustery months of winter, many of us seem to spend a great deal of time dreaming of the shrubs or trees we plan to plant, fences or patios we plan to erect or other home improvements. Before you begin to put these plans into action, could I ask you to give us a call at Bell Canada, We can then tell you if there is any buried cable on your real estate. You see, to protect our telephone cable from most hazards, we bury much of it underground. This usually helps us to give uninterrupted service to you, as well as keeping over- head wires to a minimum, However, all it takes is one hefty thrust of a shovel. or a well-sunk fence post to damage a buried cable, if by chance, you should pick a spot above that cable. This damage could disrupt regular telephone service, long distance, data-sending facilities or even emergency com- munications that might be transmitted by telephone wire. We're happy to check to see if any such cable is located on your property, free of 'charge. Just give us a call at 114. We'll get the information to you as quickly as possible. Oh yes, if fire regulations permit you to burn brush or grass on your property, please make sure you don't build the bonfire beneath telephone wires. Flames, too, can quickly put part of the system out of commission. GET GUESSES READY We would ask our area baseball experts to get their annual big league predictions ready. Most of the regular "guessers" will be can- vassed in the next week or so, but if anyone else wishes to add their contributions they will be most welcome. If selections are sent in, please include the first five 'teams in each league, the pitchers who will win the most games and the batters compiling the highest average and slugging the most home runs, again in each loop. We were quite satisfied to read the selections of a fellow quite close to the diamond scene in spring training. Milton Richman, a sports writer with BPI, has picked the Detroit Tigers and Pittsburgh Pirates to meet in the 1967 World Series. These same two clubs have been our senti- mental choices for quite a few years and it is nice to know that someone else shares the same opinion. Richman claims the Pirates are the best bal- anced nine in the senior circuit and gives the Tigers the edge in the American, strictly on a hunch that fellows like Al Kaline, Norm Cash, Willie Horton and Don Wert will come up with good years. ably assisted by assistant rec- reation director Gary Middleton. Danny Wilson of the Exeter senior boys' team compiled a 714 triple which was only surpassed by a Wingham youngster by a mere five pins. Eight teams were entered from Brussels despite the fact the small village does not have a bowling alley. Following are the line-ups of the three Exeter teams that will be travelling to Wingham and their scores compiled Saturday.

He called his invention, appropriately enough, "Cupid's Tele- graph". Today, 300 years later, a phone call ranks as the third most popular method of proposing marriage. Mister Hooke had the right idea. As we've said before — Long Distance really is the next best thing to being there! ip Our language with its many different words from the one derivative, can be confusing for young students. A teacher in class occasionally interrupted the reading of An essay to quiz the pupils on the meaning of certain words. One of the words was "operetta" and she wanted to know if anyone recognized the word and knew what it meant. "Sure," piped up' one lad, "It's a lady who works for the telephone company!" THEY'RE STILL SCRATCHING Congratulations are in order to a group of Exeter five-pin bowlers known as the Itchy Six, who won the league championship of the district Inter- Town loop. Competing against Shakespeare, Mitchell, St. Marys and four Stratford clubs, the locals finished with a total of 196 points, nine more than their near- est opposition. Bob Nicol of the Scratchers led the entire league in the average department with a record of 239, one pin more than teammate Jack Fuller. It was the Second straight year that Nicol has led the loop in individual scoring and Fuller proved his con- sistency by achieving an average of 237 in the Exe- ter Men's "A" loop. While speaking of bowling achievements, we can't forget the high single turned in by Guy Hunter- Duvar a couple of weeks ago. He started his game With a spare, followed with ten consecutive strikes and chalked up five pins on his final toss to end up with 425, the highest score Of the year tossed at the local lanes,
