Nice gift gart singled and came home on another safety from the bat of Edwards to close out the Vet counting. Singles by Roy Smith and Doug Finkbeiner were responsible for two Crediton runs in the sixth and set the stage for the two- run tying rally in the seventh.

In the top of the extra frame, Brintnell singled and came rac- ing home on Jack Glover's triple. The latter was tossed out at the plate trying to stretch his clout into a homer, Larry Inglis took over on the Kin hill for the final inning from starter Dave Woods and set the Kinsmen down in order to pre- serve the victory. Don Bell went the distance for the losers and recorded 10 strikeouts. STRIKE BACK The Crediton Tigers scored twice in the bottom of the seventh to gain a 5-5 tie with the Legion in Crediton Thursday. An extra inning failed to break the dead- lock and the game was called be- cause of darkness. Dick Colter's long home run to right field with Larry Laye aboard was responsible for creat- ing the stalemate. Each team had scored once in the first inning with Chub Edwards tallying for the Legion and Bob Lammie counting for Crediton. Edwards doubled to open the third and came home on Dick Bennett's single to put the Le- gion one up and in the third Jim Hennessey and Jim Finnen cross- ed the plate in the fourth to open the margin to 4-1. In the top of the sixth Ron Bo- scores home. Bob Webb started on the Dash- wood mound and was in top form for the first six innings facing only 20 batters and allowing but one hit. An error by his mates in each of the seventh and eighth got him into trouble as St. Marys closed the gap to 4-3. In the ninth, with the bases loaded and two out, a double by Bob Maxwell dashed the Dashwood hopes of victory. er's interference and both came racing home on pitcher Eugene Guenther's long triple to left field. Guenther completed his bases cycle on Art Rader's one base blow. With two out in the seventh and his club trailing by a single run, Bob Hoffman kept the Tigers hopes alive as he reached first on an error and rode home on Jim Hayter's double. The only other Dashwood hit was a single in the sixth off the bat of Dave Ratz. Guenther went the distance on the Dashwood mound and record- ed eight strikeouts over the seven inning route. A real battle is looming for the championship in the Huron- Perth baseball league. At the moment a three way tie exists for the top position. The Dashwood Tigers, Zurich Lumber Kings and Walkerton Capitols are deadlocked at the top with 18 points apiece. Zurich and Walkerton have each record- ed nine wins in play to date while the Dashwood club has eight wins and a pair of ties. Dashwood blew a good oppor- tunity to move in front as they played four times during the past week but the best they could do was a 4-4 tie in Chesley Sunday. They dropped back to back games to St. Marys 7-4 and 3-0 and were on the losing end of a 9-1 count to Walkerton in the second half of a Sunday northern double- header. In their only action of the week, the Zurich Lumber Kings downed St. Marys 9-6 on the Zurich dia- mond, Sunday, to record their ninth win of the season. 1111111111111111111111111111111111011111111111 llllll 111111 lllll Open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. INCREASED SAVINGS INTEREST FINE RELIEF A good stint of relief pitching by veteran Dick Bedard enabled the Zurich Lumber Kings to down St. Marys 9-6 Sunday for their ninth victory of the season. Bedard took over from starter Jim Pfaff in the second and kept the Stone Town batters under control the rest of the way, The Zurich batting attack was led by Bob Johnston who smash- ed out four singles. Bruce Hort- on and Earl Wagner assisted with a pair of one base blows each. SILENT BATS The Tiger bats were pretty quiet in Sunday's closing contest in Walkerton, connecting for only four hits during the seven inning stint. The only time they came to life was in the third inning when they hit safely three times but could only score one run. Singles by Gord Vincent, Bill Schade and Bob Hoffman aided in sending the only Dashwood run- ner safely across the plate. Walkerton scored twice in their first trip to the plate, added three in the second and added a pair in each of the fifth and sixth frames to wrap up the victory. Bob Webb and Bill Schade shar- ed the Dashwood pitching duties with the former being tagged with the loss. Bob Obrecht was the winning hurler for the home team Capitols.

They managed to get runners on base in every inning but two but in each case when they had run- ners in scoring position D a v e Flach on the St. Marys hill was able to get the third out on a strikeout. In their best scoring oppor- tunity in the seventh, one Tiger was thrown out at the plate and another at second. A double by Dave Ratz and a pair of singles contributed by Gord Vincent and another one base knock by Bill Schade com- pleted the Dashwood four hit total. In taking the pitching loss, Dave Ratz was touched for six hits, two by his pitching oppon- ent Dave Flach, and recorded seven strikeouts.

This was proven by the Exeter bantams on their home diamond Tuesday in the first game of a best-of-three semi- final WOAA series with Clinton. The locals, with a record of four wins and a single loss in a regular season that was short- ened because of bad weather, were on the short end of an 11-3 count to the Clinton boys. The second game of the series goes in Clinton tonight, Thurs- day at 6:30 with a third contest if necessary, inClintonSaturday. The local bats were quiet for the first five innings as singles by Greg Revington and Ron Lin- denfield were the only safeties they could glean off the offerings of Clinton chucker Dave Mustard. The first Exeter run came in the sixth when Revington rifled a sharp single to right and com- pleted his tour of the bases when the ball bounced past the Clinton outfielder. Consecutive singles in the bot- tom of the seventh from the bats of Murray Hodge, Dennis Fergus- on and Greg Revington's third of the night sent the Exeter run total to three. L A 4-3 win over the Legion on the local diamond Monday night has moved the Teen Town 69'ers into first place in the Exeter and district Rec softball league. The Teeners also edged the Kinsmen in a Thursday night contest 4-3 and the Crediton Tig- ers held the Legion to a 5-5 tie the same evening on the Credit- on diamond, The new league leaders now boast a season record of five wins and one loss while the Legion nine have four victories, three losses and a draw in eight starts. The Kinsmen are in third spot with three wins in six out- ings good for six points, while Crediton holds down the basement with three points as the result of a win and a tie against the Legion aggregation. In tonight's doubleheader, the two top clubs, Legion and Teen Town meet on the Exeter dia- mond while the Kinsmen travel to Crediton for an 8 o'clock contest. COME FROM BEHIND In their 4-3 victory over the Legion Monday, the Teen Town- ers scored twice in the bottom of the seventh to gain the win. Teen pitcher Dave Woods and right fielder Jack Glover cross- ed the plate in the seventh after reaching first on a walk and some loose Legion fielding. The Vets took an early one run lead in the first as lead- off man Jerry Finnen doubled and raced home on Bill Gilfillan's two out single. The Teeners were quick to knot the score as Larry Inglis scored on Bill Bourne's single after reaching the base paths with a double. The top of the fourth produced the next game tallying as the Legion struck for two runs. Gil- fillan opened with a free ticket to first, moved along as Chub Edwards singled to right and both came in to score on an error and Ron Bogart's pinch single. This put the Legion in front 3-2 and set the stage for the game winning rally by the Teeners in the seventh. TAKE ADVANTAGE The Teen Town 69'ers took advantage of every opportunity in ringing up the 4-3 Thursday win over the Kinsmen. They were able to get only four runners on base during the seven inning con- test but every one managed to cross the plate. In complete contrast the Kins- men managed eight hits off pitch- ers Dave Woods and Larry Inglis along with six walks but left 11 men stranded on the bases. The Kinsmen threatened in every inning but the sixth and the eighth in a game that was extend- ed by one inning over the regu- lation seven. Jim Hewitt doubled and Bill Lain singled in the second to put the Kin clan into a temporary 1-0 lead. The eventual winners came right back in the second as Bill Bourne singled and came winging home on Bill Fairbairn's long home run. The Teeners moved into a 3-1 lead in the top of the seventh as Larry Inglis stroked a bases empty homer; but the Kinsmen were not to be denied in their half of the seventh and came up with two runs to send the game into extra innings. Two walks and base hits from the bats of Larry Stire and Jim Hewitt sent the tying runs across RALLY FOR TIE In Sunday's opener in Chesley, the Tigers rallied with two out in the last inning to gain the 4-4 draw. The game was a see-saw battle all the way. The Dashwood club scored three times in the top of the second but the Chesley boys popped right back with a pair in their half of the same frame to stay close. The home team scored twice in the bottom of the sixth to take a 4-3 lead and they came within one out of gaining the win, Stan Lovie opened the success- ful second inning for the Tigers with a walk, moved up when Gord Vincent gained first on the catch- LOSE IN NINTH The Dashwood losing string started on their home field Wed- nesday when St. Marys scored four times in the top of the ninth to gain a '7-4 victory. The Tigers scored a pair of runs in each of the first and fourth innings and were riding along on a 4-0 margin until the visitors hit the scoresheet for the first time in the seventh, St. Marys notched a pair of tallies in the seventh, added a single in the eighth and com- pleted their run total with the four run outburst in the ninth, Third sacker Art Rader start- ed the Tigers away in the first with a single, moved on to sec- ond as Jim Hayter got a life on a St. Marys bobble and both came around to count on Dave Ratz's double. Two visiting fielding miscues and Bob Hoffman's single sent the fourth inning Dashwood Open bowling jitney taken by Fred Tilleys Commencing at 10 a.m. • Massed Bands • Piping • Dancing • Sports Events with a pair of wins and a plus of 15. One of the first year bowlers at the local club showed the ex- perienced green enthusiasts how the game should be played in Tuesday's regular jitney. Pete McFalls scored two wins to go with a plus of 8 and an aggregate of 27 to take home the top award. Rev. Morrow of Grand Bend, a regular competitor, was a close second equalling the Winner's record in all departments but aggregate where he fell to a 24. The battle for third spot was also close With Lillian Pym shad- ing Ivan Hirtzel by 23 to 22 in aggregate after tying in the Win and plus categories. Members of the Exeter Lawn Bowling club fared very well in an open mixed tourney at the local greens, Wednesday afternoon. Fred and Betty Tilley bested 17 other entries that were mostly man and wife combinations from district bowling clubs. The Tilleys scored three wins and came up with a plus of 29 and an aggregate of 59 to gain the victory. In the runner-up spot came Mr. and Mrs. Bert Gray of C linton with a similar three win record but they could muster a phis of only 8 and an aggregate of 34. Mr. and Mrs. Walter West- brook of Goderich topped the two game winners with a pluS of 19 to gain third spot over Mr. and Mrs. Art Finlayson of Seaforth who came in with a plus of 14.

HIGHLAND GAMES at DUTTON Monday, August 7 MIII1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111IN What nicer birthday present could Canadian athletes offer in this Centennial year than 100 med- als at the fifth Pan American Games which opened in Winnipeg Sunday afternoon. And like John A. MacDonald's big endeavour in 1867, their task is formidable but not entirely im- possible. In the first games held in Buenos Aires in 1951, Canada did not participate, In. the second games in Mexico in 1955, Canadian athletes won four gold, four silver and two bronze medals. A big improvement came about in the follow- ing games in 1959 in Chicago, when our representa- tives walked off with seven gold, 21 silver and 27 bronze medals. They topped this output in the last Pan-American Games in Sao Paolo, Brazil, in 1963 by capturing 10 gold, 26 silver and 28 bronze medals. Canada's entrants have never won a medal in baseball, boxing, cycling, field hockey, judo, soccer, volleyball or water polo. If they do, and the rest of our competitors improve on their record, they could climax our Centennial celebrations with 100 medals. While the U.S. will undoubtedly win the ma- jority of events, Winnipeg has already won at the bank. The two-week extravaganza will cost close to $7,000,000, including $2,8 million for the Pan-Am pool, $800,000 worth of improvements to track and field facilities art the University of Manitoba and $400,000 for new floodlit cycling veledrome which can be converted to a soccer pitch and minor foot- ball field. Housing, food, transportation and communica- tions cost another $800,000, sports equipment a sim- ilar amount and $700,000 for administration and promotion. They will get most of this money back. Be- tween 60,000 and 100,000 visitors will spend money in Winnipeg. Total attendance of close to 500,000 will send an estimated $600,000 through the wickets. The rest of the bills will be paid out of government grants — $3,000,000 from Ottawa so far, $1,200,000 from Manitoba and $600,000 from Winnipeg. All three levels of government will share in the first $750,000 of deficits after the Games and then the City of Winipeg and province of Manitoba will go 50-50 in cleaning up the balance. Canada's hopes for a medal in track and field received a severe jolt Friday When Nancy McCredie, a top shot-put artist from Brampton, was taken to hospital in Winnipeg with a badly swollen right knee. In a recent international meet in Los Angeles, Miss McCredie beat the best U.S. and Commonwealth shot-putters. One consolation in this apparent set- back is that the shot-putting events are scheduled for August 5, the last day of the meet and she may be ready far action. BOSOX MAKE THEIR MOVE To meet or not to meet seems to be the ques- tion of the moment in the American baseball league. The correct answer could depend on whether you like the fortunes of the Boston Red Sox or the De- troit Tigers. Last year the Boston players called meetings and excluded their manager, Billy Herman. Since that time Dick Williams has replaced Herman and he has made it clear the team would not conduct any meetings without him present this year. It may or may not be just a coincidence that the Red Sox have made a remarkable comeback this season and have jumped right into contention for the league leadership. Meanwhile, the Tigers just happened to be in Boston a week ago mired in a long losing streak and veterans Al Kaline and Hank Aguirre decided to call a players' confab without the presence of manager Mayo Smith. Smith let the Tigers meet without him and the team promptly lost its seventh straight game. But Detroit has won five of six games since then including three out of four from the Yankees al- though the club is still in fourth place, two games off the pace in one of the tightest American league races in recent memory. "We wanted to give everyone a chance to get things that were bothering them off their chest," Kaline said in explaining the reason for the meeting. Smith, though, did call his own team meet- ing the day before the Tigers held one without him and blistered the players for "sloppy" play. One way or the other they seemed to have gotten the mes- sage as they lost only once over the past week. The question of whether or not a manager should allow a team to hold a meeting without him is one of the most debated ones in baseball these days. Harry Walker let the Pittsburgh Pirates con- duct meetings without him earlier this year. Inci- dentally, Walker has since been fired and Danny Murtaugh has taken over the managerial duties. TOP SOFTBALL A top notch softball game is on tap for the Exeter Community Park Friday night at 9:00 o'clock. The Exeter. Rec league All-Stars will face the strong London Life nine from London. In a similar contest when the floodlights were officially opened late last summer, the same London team downed the locals 2-1 in a 12-inning thriller. AFRAID OF THE OUTCOME? In a rather strange arrangement, the six new expansion clubs in the National Hockey league will not be allowed to play exhibition games against any of the six established teams this fall. The California Seals will do the next best thing, scheduling eight pre-season games, all against teams from their own division. They will be in. action on four occasions at their training camp site at Port Huron and will appear for one night stands at King- ston, Oshawa, Brantford and Guelph.
