By Ross Haugh eners make Rec loop move Busy days out west Two consecutive wins over the past week have moved the Teen Town 69'ers into undisputed possession of second place in the Exeter and district Rec softball league. The youthful ball club downed the Crediton Tigers in Crediton by a 9-6 count Thursday and came right back with a 7-2 decision over the Kinsmen on the local diamond, Monday. In the only other game of the week, the Legion fortified their hold on first place with a 3-2 win on the strength of Bill Gil- fillan's two run homer in the top of the seventh on the Exeter diamond, Thursday. The vets now boast a 4-1 season record while the Teeners are right behind with three wins in four starts, The Kinsmen have two wins in four outings and the Crecliton Tigers winless in four starts hold down the basement. All four teams are in action tonight, Thursday with the Teen Town and Kinsmen right back at each other at Community Park at 8 o'clock and the Legion travell- ing to Crediton for a 7 o'clock contest. The rival pitchers were in command most of the way as the Legion edged the Kinsmen 3-2 on Thursday. Each team left only three men on base throughout the entire seven inning game and winning pitcher Dick Bennett faced only 26 batters while loser Don Bell tossed to 27 of the opposition. The Legion took a temporary 1-0 lead in the second as Bill Mercer doubled and scampered home on Cy Blommaert's single. The Kin evened the count In the fourth as Jim Russell lined a.safe shot to left field and raced home when the ball took a crazy hop over the left fielder's head. Lloyd Moore singled to open the Kin sixth, moved to third on an error and came home on Russell's ground-out to put his club in front 2-1. The score remained the same until the top of the seventh when Bill Gilfillan caught one of Don Bell's fast balls and lashed out a homer with Blommaert aboard to gain the victory for the Legion boys. real scoring threat of the contest as they scored both of their runs. Lyle Little led off the frame with a mighty home run and Ken Jack- son followed with a walk, stole second, and came in on Larry Stire's bunt single. Bill Bourne in the fifth and Jack Glover in the sixth scored the final runs for the winners. The latter was involved in an unusual play in the fourth when he drilled what appeared to be single to right but was thrown out at first by Kin right fielder Larry Stire, Dave Woods who went the dis- tance on the hill for the Teeners was in good form allowing but three hits over the seven inning route and recorded three strike- outs. Visitors cop duo bowl title Supervising Kin Playground The summer playground program operating at all Exeter Parks and sponsored by the Kinsmen club is now in its second week. A feature of this week will be a hobo and gypsy parade Friday afternoon from Victoria Park at 1:30 and a bean supper for all the youngsters at Riverview Park at 4:30. In the above picture this year's supervisors are shown with Rec Director Alvin Willert. From left, Wendy Neil, Judy Glover, Eleanor Stanlake, Arlene Chipchase and Linda Litt. T-A photo Tigers, Kings right at top H-P ball battle tightens Representatives of the home club proved to be good hosts as visitors took all the prizes in an invitational men's double tourney held at the Exeter lawn bowling club, Wednesday. A full complement of 24 rinks competed and John Patterson's rink from Seaforth was declared the winner. Bert Gray's duo of Clinton and a pair headed by Sinclair McIntosh of Ailsa Craig finished second and third respec- tively. Fourth and fifth awards went to Earl Allison of Goderich and London's Lorne Lichman, In regular local club play Sat- urday Betty Tilley proved to be the best with a record of two wins, a plus of 20 and aggregate of 35. Coming a close second was Clarence Down with an equal win and plus score but an aggregate of 31. Lillian Pym and Ted Cham- bers were next in line with two wins and a plus of 16. Dave Ratz, who went the full nine innings on the Dashwood mound fanned 13 of the visitors, while a trip of visiting hurlers sent nine Tigers back to the bench by the same method. Each team committed six er- rors and the shoddy fielding help- ed to up the score, Richard Rader led the Dashwood 11 hit attack — Please turn to page 9 That good feeling of brother- hood you get from the church service is quite lasting — if some stupid blockhead doesn't get in your way when you're pulling your car out of the church park- ing lot. Exeter and Area Swimming Pool NEW SCHEDULE ADULTS SWIMMING CLASSES Starting Mon, July 17 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Open Swimming Weekdays 2:30 to 1:30 p.m. Saturday & Sunday 2:00 to 1:00 p.m. 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. ADULTS ONLY OPEN SWIMMING Tuesday & Thursday 9:00 to 10:00 p.m. START EARLY The Teen Towners wasted little time in getting on the scoreboard in Monday's win over the Kins- men, scoring twice in their first trip to the plate and they were never headed. Two walks issued by Kin start- ing hurler Bob Callingham, an error and Scott Burton's single to left were responsible for the opening Teen tallies. Lyle Little came on in relief of Callingham and got the third out in the first inning. Little con- tinued by retiring the 69'ers in order in the second, but ran into trouble in the next frame and gave up another two runs without retiring a man before giving way to Don Bell. Jack Glover's single and back- to-back safe bunts by Terry and Bill Bourne sent the third and fourth runs across the plate. Bill Farquhar singled to open the fourth, stole second and came home on a pair of infield outs to up the Teen Town to 5-0. In the bottom of the same inn- ing, the Kinsmen posed their only Dashwood Tigers and Zurich Lumber Kings are imp r o v ing each time out in Huron-Perth baseball play and are battling for top spot. The young Tigers came up with a 9-2 win over Mitchell in the Perth County town, Sunday, and held the strong Walkerton nine to a 7-7 tie on the Dashwood dia- mond Wednesday. Their season record now stands at five wins, three losses and a tie in nine starts. Zurich's Lumber Kings, with a good sprinkling of veteran per- formers in their lineup, came up with two wins over the past week and now own a record of five wins and four losses. The Kings started the week with a home diamond 5-2 win over St. Marys Wednesday and follow- ed with a 7-4 decision in Walker- ton, Sunday. SPARKED BY YOUTH A couple of 17 year-olds led the Tigers to their impressive 9-2 win in Mitchell, Sunday. Bob Webb gained the pitching win with a solid performance and short- stop Jim Hayter led the batting attack with a home run and single driving in five runs. Webb who was in very little trouble at any time was able to set the Mitchell crew down in order in six of the nine innings of play. The only time the home team was able to get runners aboard was in the third and seventh innings when they scor- ed single markers and in the fourth when their first two bat- ters reached base safely, but Webb settled down and retired the side without any damage, The young righthander receiv- ed plenty of hitting help from his mates and Hayter and the slugging pastor, Art Rader in particular. The latter collected four singles in five trips to the plate. The Tigers scored twice in the third inning and were never headed. Three walks and singles by Rader and Bill Schade sent the first two Dashwood markers across the plate. Rader, Bill Schade and Whitey Denomme singled in the fourth with one out to set the stage for Hayter's grand slam poke well over the left field fence to give the Tigers a comfortable 6-1 edge. The Mitchell club, which has been renamed the BP's because of new sponsors, scored their final tally in the seventh and the Tigers finished the game scor- ing with a trio of markers in the seventh. A couple of walks and singles by Ken Rader, Denomme and Hayter accounted for the three closing tallies. Webb, who returned only the night before from a week's visit to Expo allowed the BP's but three hits and struck out seven, LOTS OF WHIFFING A good percentage of the put- outs recorded in the 7-7 tie be- tween Dashwood and Walkerton were chalked up by the catchers as strike-outs were quite numer- ous. Most horse show prizes taken by local entrants Preszcator, Gord Wadds, Gail Ecker, Wayne Preszcator. Lots of young swimmers A record number of Exeter and district youngsters have registered for swimming lessons at the local pool. Early this week 402 registrations had been received and they were still coming in. Above, a group of beginners are getting instructions from swim supervisors Anne Marie Horrell and Doug Beaver and chief instructor Corri Plomp. T-A photo Greys continue winless streak Exeter Greys have yet to find the winning combination in the southern division of the Huron ladies softball league. In their latest outing of the season in Goderich, Friday, the locals dropped their fourth straight con- test, this time by an 11-4 count. Tuesday's game with St. Marys scheduled for Exeter Community Park was cancelled because of rain. The next action for the Greys will be in St. Marys Sat- urday night and back on their home field Tuesday with Bruce- field supplying the opposition. The Greys, who were trailing the Goderich club 5-0 at the end of the fifth, came out swinging in the sixth and connected for four safe hits that produced the same number of runs to cut the home lead to 5-4. After the first Exeter batter was retired, Patti Robinson drew a walk and the rally was started. Darlene Snell followed with a bases clearing home run to count the first two Grey markers.SUc- cessive singles from the bats of Connie Kernick, Audrey Pooley and Fern Dougall sent two more Exeter runners home safely and completed their scor- ing for the night. The home team Dodgers came back with a big six run spurt in their hail of the sixth to cinch th 11-4 victory. Kernick singled with two out in the first few the only other Grey safety of the entire contest. Bey Wright, who also stars with the London Holiday Inns of the Provincial fastball league, was On the Goderich mound and was. in trouble only in the sixth. The second open horse show of the season sponsored by the Exeter Saddle Club was domin- ated by local area riding enthus- iasts. In the first event of the season several weeks ago, visit- ing riders took most of the top awards, but this time seven of the 11 classes were won by district entrants. Exeter and area competitors taking first prizes were Gail and Janet Ecker, Nancy Swartz, Bob Parsons, George Beer, Barry Mousseau and Bill Sims. A total of 47 horses competed in the show that was judged by Pat and Robert Abra of Sarnia. Local officials in charge were Dr. Wally Read, Carol Zimmer, Debbie Higgins and Cathy Read. Following is a complete list of winners of the various events: Western Pleasure, Gordon Wadds, Nancy Swartz, Tom Downham, Linda Troy, Bruce Hicks; junior equitation (horses) -Nancy Swartz, Susan Wadds, Janet Ecker, Bob Parsons, Kathy Ecker; junior equitation (ponies) -Gail Ecker, Trudy Johns, Wayne Preszcator, Barbara Parsons, Cathy Read; junior pole bending, Bob Parsons, Maxine Bilyea, Terry Haugh, Terry Johns, Janet McDowell; adult pole bending, Jim Paisley, Nelson Bilyea, Wil- mer Preszcator, Jim Evans, Bill Sims; cloverleaf barrel racing, George Beer, Jim Paisley, Nel- son Bilyea, Barry Mousseau, Bill Sims.

Bill. Sims, Wilmer While Expo in Montreal is getting most of the publicity during our Centennial year, a sporting attraction later this month in Winnipeg will be get- ting plenty of attention from other countries. We are speaking of the Pan-American Games that will be held from July 23 to August 6. By the weekend, 2,438 athletes from 24 countries had been entered in the Games, which are held every four years and are considered the mini-Olympics of Latin and North America. The Pan-American Games are held a year be- fore the World Olympics and are regarded as a try- out for the world events. Canada will have the larg- est contingent of athletes, 483, while Haiti's two- man squad will be the smallest, When plans were being formulated two years ago it was hoped to take in about $400,000 in ticket sales throughout the two-week extravaganza. With more than a week still to go before the turnstiles officially •open ticket chief Jack Price reports $450,000 already in the bank. The sold-out sign is up for seven evenings of swimming events in the new Pan-Am pool. This is the roomiest indoor swimming pool in Canada and one of the three largest in the world. It is a 75'x220' pool seating 2,164 spectators and cost $2,800,000. Advance sales for track and field have reached 30,000, about 50% of the maximum. All track events will be run on a Tartan track of all-weather, non- skid resin, the first synthetic surface to be used in major international games. The track itself is within a new $1,000,000, 15,000-seat stadium at the Uni- versity of Manitoba. Judo, wrestling and boxing are selling well and soccer has sold heavily for the semi-finals and finals August 1, 2 and 3. Likewise, cycling is showing an advance sale of close to 60 per cent. The cycling events will be staged in a new $296,000 velodrome that has a 22-foot wide, banked cycling track with a seating capacity of 3,000 seats and a grass infield. While Winnipeg proper will be handling the bulk of the Games, same events will be staged in other parts of the province of Manitoba. The base- ball tournaments will be held at Carman and Portage la Prairie, yachting at Gimli on Lake Winnipeg, cross- country equestrian events at Birds Hill Provincial Park and bicycle road racing on the Whiteshell For- est Reserve. Actually, the cyclists will swing into Ontario for about 200 yards as they turn around. This is one of the largest sports attractions ever undertaken in the Dominion and is proving to be a community project as a lot of Winnipeg's popu- lation of 500,000 are helping in various ways. The menus that will be available to the ath- letes have been planned by university and hospital dietitians. Over the two-week period it is expected 16,000 loaves of bread, 22,000 gallons of milk, 11,000 pounds of roast beef, 32,000 pounds of steak and 160,000 eggs will be gobbled up by the participants in addition to various spicy condiments for the Latin palates. At the same time, the 'Canadian Boy Scouts are holding a Pan-Am Jamboree just outside Winnipeg 'and the youngsters, some 4,000 strong, have volun- teered to take rare of parking cars and ushering. Same 26 buildings of the Canadian Armed Forces base in Winnipeg are being used to house the visiting athletes and part of the station will be known as Pan-Am village. One of the biggest tasks before the organizers of the Games is finding the National anthems of all 24 participating countries, arranging them for a 45- piece band and making recordings. The spacious new swimming pool got its first competitive workout during the Canadian national swimming and diving championships last week. Irene MacDonald of Vancouver, a member of Canada's div- ing team in six international meets, said it "is the best in North America." Prince Philip will be on hand to officially open the games at Winnipeg Stadium. KIDS ARE BUSY The boys and girls of Exeter and the sur- rounding district are enjoying an active summer if the records of the Exeter swimming and playground program are any indication. Rec Director Alvin Willert reports that swim registrations were within a couple of reaching the 400 mark, Monday morning and a few were still com- ing in. Last year 307 youngsters were enrolled for the program that included daily lessons. Part of the huge increase is due to an influx of about 80 from the Hensall recreation program. Last year the bean town village did not have an or- ganized recreation setup and about 40 youngsters participated in the Exeter program. The large number of young swimmers has created a few problems. A large percentage are in the beginners' class and this has forced the super- visors to create new classes and necessitate a shift in the organized time table. "What we really need to properly handle the beginners is more shallow water area," said Willert. As the swimming program is increasing in numbers the playground sessions that are held daily at Victoria Park and Community Park are a little smaller than a year ago. Boys and girls who are enrolled in the play- ground program are in for a big day Friday as the annual hobo, gypsy and pirate day parade will be staged. The march will leave Victoria Park at 1:30 and proceed to Community Park where the young- sters will be treated to a bean supper before being dismissed at 5 o'clock. HAHNS MOVING UP At least four members of the New Hamburg Hahns, reigning Ontario Hockey Association Junior "C" champs will be getting tryouts with "A" clubs this fall, At present three, all defencemen, have re- ceived offers to attend training camps. Jim Nahrgang will be attempting to find a regular spot with the new Ottawa entry, while Don Culbert and Rick Falk will be going to the London Nationals. Nats' coach "Turk" Breda signed Culbert to a playing contract last week. The Hahns, who were extended to seven games by the Exeter Hawks in the provincial semi- final will also likely lose the services of their cap- tain Bob Ruthig who is negotiating with the Peter- bore Petes.
