The defending champs scored in ev- ery inning but the third in ringing up a 15-2 win over the Crediton Tigers under the lights at Exeter Community Park, Monday, came home on Dick Colter's one base blow to complete the Tiger run counting. Other Crediton hits were of the single variety and collected by Bob and Larry Laye. The former threw the six inning stint and struck out four Legion batters. This was the first game of the new schedule. The other two clubs in the popular loop, Kinsmen and Teen Town, meet tonight under the lights a.t 8 P.M. The Vets broke in front with a pair of runs in their first time at bat and were never headed.

Dick Bennett who went the dis- tance on the Legion mound to gain the win also starred at the plate, banging a single in the second to score two mates and bashed in the fourth with team - mate Ron Bo- gart aboard. Singles by Chub Edwards and. Jim Pinder chased the opening Legion runs across in the opening frame and a second similar safety by Edwards in the second inning accounted for the third and fourth markers before Bennett cashed in his four RBI's. A pair of walks and singles by Bob Baynham and Bill Gilfillan in the fifth sent the Legion run total to 11. The latter also lashed a two-out triple in the third but was left stranded. The final four-run outbreak in the sixth was powered by doubles by Gilfillan and Jerry Finnen and singles from the bats of Jim Wallace and Bob Baynham. The- first Crediton run crossed the plate in the second when Jim Finkbeiner singled, stole second and raced home on an error. Jim Laye singled with two out in the seventh, moved up on a walk and In the newspaper business you never know when you will run into a sports personality. A couple of weeks ago while covering the dos- ing service of the Whalen United Church we admired a very beautiful painting on the wall at the back of the choir loft. We were told the fellow who did the painting was at the service so we asked if he could be round- ed up for a picture with his handiwork. The artist turned out to be none other than Colle Bowman of Elmira. Anyone remember Calle Bowman? He was one of the top hockey stars with the Elmira Polar Kings back in the fifties and was playing coach of the Exe- ter Mohawks Senior "B" club for part of the 1954- 55 season. Still residing in Elmira, Colle is a full time commercial artist and travels from coast-to-coast in Canada and the United States in search of subjects for his paintings. The former hockey star specializes in land- scapes, seascapes and still life portraits. He told us that he is able to do about 300 pictures a year that range in size from 5'x7' to 24'x48'. He has a yearly contract with Eaton's and Simpson-Sears to handle every one of the pictures he produces and his works are on display at galleries of the two large Canadian firms in Vancouver, Win- nipeg, Calgary, Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto. The painting that adorns the Whalen church was done more than eight years ago and on the dos- ing Sunday officials were trying to determine ways of saving it when the church is demolished. A picture of Calle Bowman and his artistic works appeared in the May 25 edition of the T-A. He is married to the former Maida Morley of the Whalen area. It didn't get away Fishermen sometimes talk about the ones that got away, but this isn't the case with Harold Kellerman of Dashwood. He is shown above, holding a nine pound, 34 inch pike caught at the Cut south of Grand Bend. — T-A photo List juvenile softball sked The playing schedule of the Huron-Perth boys softball league involving six area teams has been released.

"We are quite fortun- ate in Exeter to have such a smooth running recreation pro- gram and have the co-operation of all organizations. We ran into officials from other towns that have problems in co-ordinating all of their recreation facilities under one board", were Bayn- ham's comments. In other business, RAP: Took no action on a request from a local horseman that the rates for a stall rental at the horse barn be changed to a year- ly basis. At present the fee is $5 per month.

Chairman Ron Bogart reported at Tuesday's regular meeting that officials of the Beta Sigma Phi Sorority have offered to pay $150 to pay a portion of the con- struction of the fence. The sorority donated the pool to the town recreation committee several years ago and are now matching a $150 contribution from the Kinettes that was re- ceived a few weeks ago. Recreation director Alvin Wil- lert made a full report to RAP on the upcoming swim and play- ground programs. The swimming pool will be all set for open swimming on June 17 and supervised lessons will begin on July 4. Registrations from Exeter and area children will be accepted at the pool from June 19 to 24. Cori Plomp has been hired as the chief instructor and will be attending special instruction classes in London, June 19 to 22. Willert reported an increase in wages for the swim instructors for the 1967 season. The chief instructor will be receiving $60 per week, an increase of $15 per week from last year. Assistant instructor Doug Beaver will get $45 per week, also a weekly increase of $10 and beginning supervisors will receive $25, the same fee as a year ago.

Smith bests lawn bowlers The weatherman was only half successful in spoiling the week- ly activities of the Exeter Lawn bowling club. Saturday's regular jitney was washed out, but de- spite rains on Tuesday, 28 ard- ent greens enthusiasts turned out to complete the best tourney of the year. Verne Smith proved to be the best, coming up with two wins and a plus of 18. Winding up in second spot on the basis of two wins and a plus of 13 was Ross Taylor. Fred Wells compiled a pair of wins and a plus of 12 good enough for third spot and Edna Caldwell finished fourth on the strength of two wins and a 10 plus. Both of the latter are new bowlers.

Swim registration forms are appearing else- where on these pages. The pool is being readied now •and will be open for casual swimming on June 17. Swimming instruction classes will start on Tues- day, July 4 under the direction of supervisor Cori Plomp. Youngsters are advised to take advantage of the activities available locally and that the Kin Camp at Goderich that has been in existence for about five years will not be in operation this year. MORE ACTION A more enjoyable time for spectators is prom- ised for Saturday's second annual Quarter horse show at the Exeter Saddle Club grounds, 21/2 miles west of Exeter. Dr. Don. Ecker, a prime booster of the local club, advises that all action classes will be held in the afternoon beginning at 1 p.m. ensuring visitors of a good afternoon of entertainment. It is hoped the halter classes will be completed in the morning session leaving the afternoon free for calf roping, barrel racing and cutting horse classes which afford a good deal of excitement. Dr. Ecker reported that entries are coming in quite well with several from Ohio and Illinois. Of- ficials are hoping for an entry list exceeding 225, putting the show in the "A" class. USING YOUR HEAD In most sports the ability to use one's head is quite an 'advantage but in the game of soccer a header is quite often used to direct the ball to a teammate or toward the opposition nets. While visiting in the Toronto area a couple of weeks ago, we caught 'a couple of the Toronto Falcons games on television. They seem to fit into the football situation very well in the provincial cap- ital holding down the basement position in the west- ern division of the National Soccer loop •and could be called old country cousins of the Argonauts. A very unique scoring system is being used in determining the number of points obtained by the 10 clubs in the new soccer league. A team is credited with six points for each win and three for a tie. In addition to wins and deadlocks, one point is awarded for each of the first three goals scored by a team in every game. Scoring at least three goals in a game becomes very important. A good example of this can be seen by check- ing the standings of the eastern division. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia each have five wins and three ties to their credit but the former club has a 10-point lead because they have scored 30 times as opposed to only 18 successful shots fired by the Philadelphia boys. TIMES HAVE CHANGED In the 58 years that the annual Memorial Day Indianapolis 500 auto race has been held in Indian- apolis, the design and speed of cars has changed drastically. The first race was held on May 30, 1909 and in the qualifying heat for the event Ray Harroun reached an average speed of 74.5 miles per hour, which was almost unbelievable at that time. In the early days of this century automobiles were consid- ered machines of the devil. In the 1967 qualifying rounds, Mario Andretti gained the pole position by reaching an average speed of 168.98 miles per hour, quite an increase from the very first long distance duel by the "horses on wheels".
