ALI- GOOD SPORTS By Ross. Haugh B usy days a head The intense rivalry that has existed between the Dashwood. Tigers and. Zurich Lumber Kings in Huron-Perth action over the last couple of years seems to be in for another good year. In the first game of the season on the Dashwood diamond, Mon- day night, the Lumber Kings scored four times in the seventh inning to eke out a 5-4 decision over the Tigers. In the only other H-P action to date, the new entry from St. Marys edged Mitchell Legion- naires 5-4 in Mitchell, Wednes- day. Other clubs in the league are from Walkerton and Chesley. the game and the stage was set for the veteran O'Brien's long drive when Don O'Brien's blooper was lost in the infield. Phil Overholt followed with a single to drive in O'Brien and give the Kings the slight edge they were able to retain. LINE -UPS Zurich — G. Haggitt, rf; Schantz, rf; B.

FAST FISH The Kokanee salmon from British Columbia reaches bright red maturity in Ontario waters two years ahead of the four- year B.C. standard. collected five off the offerings of Guenther and Bob Webb who tossed the last inning. Scoring was restricted to three half innings as Zurich tallied a single run in the third, Dashwood struck back with four in the fifth and the Kings scored the same number in the top of the seventh to take home the victory by a single marker. After two were out in the top of the third, winning pitcher J i m Pfaff cracked out a double and raced home on second sacker Bob Johnson's sharp single to right. The four run Dashwood upris- ing in the fifth that moved them into a 4-1 lead was helped by five miscues by the Lumber King infielders and the lone hit was a single to left by third baseman Lorne Vincent. The big blow in the winning Zurich rally in the seventh was a bases loaded double by Doug O'Brien. Pfaff, first to the plate in the seventh, got a lift when his grounder was bobbled, moved up en Johnson's second single of Grand champions The Truckers emerged as grand champions in the Exeter Men's bowling league after taking the "B" division playoff title and knocking off the Canners, the "A" title holders.

Eugene Guenther, who threw the first six innings for Dash- wood, recorded 10 strikeouts while Jim Pfaff on the opposing hill fired the third strike past eight home town batters. Pfaff allowed the Dashwood batters only one hit while Zurich Anderson. Two flights for pigeons Birds from the loft of William Vanneste of Clandeboye proved to be the speediest in two tests of the Lucan Homing Pigeon club held last week. In a flight from Oshawa a Vanneste pigeon was first home followed closely by birds owned by Jack Hardy of Lucan and Chuck Barrett of St. Marys. A somewhat shorter test from Georgetown saw one of the Van- neste flock again the winner, besting the runner-up opposition owned by Clarence Hardy a nd Andy Hardy. Good weather and south east winds were responsible for pro- viding good average speeds of 1,225 yards per minute. Another busy summer of playground activi- ties is expected as plans are being completed for the swimming program at the local pool and the Kins- men playground at the Community Park. Rec Director Alvin Willert reports that swim- ming instructors and playground supervisors have been selected for the upcoming season. The six week playground sessions will run from Monday, July 3 to Friday, August 11, with leaders Linda Litt, Judy Glover, Eleanor Stanlake, Arlene Chipchase and Wendy Neil in charge. The five local leaders will be attending a train- ing camp at Goderich Summer Camp June 18 to 22 along with similar supervisors from at least 20 towns in the Lake Huron Zone. Rec Directors from most of the towns in- volved will be assisting in the instruction. Alvin Wil- lert, Exeter's director of recreation, will be the camp manager and Don "Boom Boom" Gravett of Han- over will be directing the entire camp. Also helping along will be Hensall's new rec director Michael Miner. Willert reports that one of the features of the camp will be a Wednesday afternoon session on Indian Lore with Dr. Bryce Taylor of York Univer- sity in charge of demonstrations. A staff of four capable young people has been selected to supervise the swimming program. Cori Plomp will be the chief instructor and will receive help from assistants Doug Beaver, Carol Shapton and Ann Marie Horrell. Cod is well qualified to head the instructing staff having her bronze, Red Cross leader's and sen- ior Red Cross badges and will be attending a special instructor's course before the swim season opens. Registration forms for the swimming program will be available in the next week or two and will also be made available to all the elementary schools in the area. Registration fees are five dollars which will entitle a youngster to five lessons a week for a total of eight weeks from July 3 to August 25. For the second year instruction and tests in both Red Cross and Royal Life will be available to the prospective swimmers. A total of 307 Exeter and district boys and girls participated in last year's program. =etners GUN SHOP DEALER FOR ALL TOP LINES IN GUNS AND AMMUNITION „A „i league champs Proving to be best in the playoff round of the "A" division of the Exeter Men's bowling league were the Capers.

W. Exeter 235-1907 HOUR OF DECISION The sleepless nights for the general managers and coaches of the six teams in the present National hockey league set-up should soon be over. Next Monday is the day when the old clubs in the NHL have to come up with their list of 12 protected players that can't be touched by the six expansion teams. One of the toughest jobs will confront Punch Imlach of the Toronto Maple Leafs. As coach of the Stanley Cup champions, he has about 16 players who gave their best in bringing the title to Toronto and some of these will have to remain unprotected. Sentiment should certainly enter into Imlach's decision especially in the case of his veteran captain George Armstrong and his task of protecting only one goal tender. Both Johnny Bower and Terry Saw- chuk were instrumental in winning the Stanley Cup. These two are well past the age considered ideal for our tough national sport but they keep coming up with the big games. On the other hand Bruce Gamble has proved he can handle the puck stopping job and age is in his favour. We didn't have too much luck in predicting the outcome of the Stanley Cup playoffs, so will try something a little different and guess at the 12 players the Leafs will protect in next week's draft. Here we go — Bruce Gamble, Tim Horton, Larry Hillman, Dave Keon, Mike Walton, Bob Pul- ford, Frank Mahovlich, Ron Ellis, Pete Stemkowski, Jim Pappin, Brian Conacher and Larry Jeffrey. After reading these selections the first nat- ural question is, why only two defencemen? We feel this was the Leaf weak spot in the playoffs and with Horton and Hillman as the nucleus they can build up a good defensive corps from their good minor system. Also, probably a little sentiment was in- volved in adding Goderich's Larry Jeffrey instead of a third defenceman. Incidentally, Jeffrey will be the guest speaker at tomorrow night's banquet of the Exeter Minor Hockey Association at the Legion Hall at 7 o'clock. Other personalities expected are Turk Broda and Ebbie Bishop of the London Nationals junior 'A' team.

T-A photo NEED MORE TEAMS Another attempt will be made tonight to put the finishing touches to organization of this year's Exeter- and district Rec softball league. Rec Director Alvin Willert is asking any in- terested teams to attend at the Town Hall at 8:30 tonight. Last week's intended get-together drew only a couple of interested persons. At the moment, four teams are definite start- ers and it is hoped at least two more clubs are formed to round out a six-team loop. Three teams from town, Legion, Kinsmen and Teen Town along with the Crediton Tigers have indicated they are definitely raring to go, DID YOU hear about the muscular but not too bright baseball rookie who could do everything with a baseball except autograph it.
