In the wrap-up contest, Jim Russell rapped a two-run homer in the top of the third to give Bell more runs than he needed in the 9-0 decision. Bob Callingharn crossed the plate in the fourth and Bill Lain followed suit in the next frame to put the Kin in front 5-0. Singles by Larry Stire, Russell, Lain and Kennedy were responsible for an additional four winning runs in the sixth and similar safeties from the bats of Callingha.m and Hell completed the Kin counting in the seventh. Bill Farquhar's single in the first and an identical one base smash by Scott Burton in the fourth spoiled Don Bell's bid for fame, plenty of base hits as the Kin were victorious 14-10. The borne run ball proved the down fall of the Teeners as Jim Russell stroked a pair of base clearing blows to lead the Kins- men attack. With his club down 5-1 in the third Russell smash- ed a homer with two mates aboard and duplicated the feat in the following inning as his club scor- ed six times. The 69'ers moved ahead in the second as Scott Burton reach- ed the safety of the base paths on an error and came around to count on Bill Bourne's double. Russell walked to open the bottom half of the same frame and crossed the platter on a single by Jim Newby and Don Bell's double. The Teeners erupted for four big runs in the third as the re- sult of singles by Jack Glover, Farquhar and Burton and a two base smash from the bat of Larry Willert. The final Kin scoring flurry, good for four runs in the fifth, was powered by singles by Jim Hewitt, Bob C allingham, Ken Jackson and Russell, his third hit of the night. A final Teen rally in the top of the seventh fell short as they scored five times but had the bases loaded when the last two outs were made. Farquhar, Burton and Rick Mc- Donald singled to spark the rally and were helped along with a couple of Kin fielding miscues. LOTS OF RUNS The second game of the series was in direct contrast to the oth- ers as both teams lashed out with PITCHERS SHARP Strong pitching performances from Don Bell and Doug Kennedy allowed the Kinsmen to sweep the semi-final set in co nsecutive games. In the opener, Kennedy posted 13 strike-outs in tossing a no- hitter as his mates amassed a total of nine runs. The strong right-hander, now vice-principal at Exeter public school, f a c e d only 24 batters in the seven inn- ing contest as he walked two and the other reached first on an error. Bell was almost as impressive in the third and final game as he allowed only two hits in facing The bottom teams in the regu- lar standing of the Exeter and district Rec softball league stand- ings are kicking up their heels in the playoffs. The Kinsmen, who finished in third place, scored three con- secutive wins over the pennant winning Teen Town 69'ers to sweep the semi-final series and advance to the finals. The Crediton Tigers, occupants of the league basement for the entire season, have knocked off the second place Legion nine in two straight contests in their bid to advance to the final. The third game in the Crediton- Legion set was played at Exeter Community Park last night, Wed- nesday. The Kin club opened the series with an impressive 9-0 win over the Teeners Thursday, outlasted the youngsters 14-10 in a Sunday contest and wound up the set Tues- day with another 9-0 romp. The shoe is on the other foot for the first time in many years as the pennant races in the American and National baseball leagues move into the final month. Come most Septembers, two or three National league teams are battling for the right to play in the World Series while the American situation has usu- ally been settled early, This year it's quite a different story with the St. Louis Cardinals well out in front in the senior circuit and they should wrap up the pennant this week. The American league race will probably be de- cided in the last day or two of the season as four teams are still in contention in probably the closest race the loop has ever seen. At the time of writing only a game and a half separates the Minnesota Twins, Boston Red Sox, Chi- cago White Sox and Detroit Tigers. While the American league representatives in the World Series that is slated to start in the home stadium of the AL on October 4 may not be decided until the first day of October, the Detroit Tiger fortunes could go drastically one way or the other by early next week. The Tigers meet the Washington Senators in a three-game series in Detroit this weekend and en- tertain the Boston Red Sox in a two-game set on September 18 and 19. At first glance the series with Washington may not look too important but in checking the sea- son records to date, we find the Senators hold a 7-5 edge over the Bengals. The Minnesota Twins, currently in first place, have superior records in games against the three contending clubs and this probably accounts for their first place standing. The Twins have had little trouble with Bos- ton, winning 11 out of 16 games played, and hold a 9-6 edge over Chicago and have bested Detroit in eight of 15 contests played between the two contend- ers. Each of the top four clubs have found at least one easy mark in opposition teams that have helped their climb to the top. In addition to their ease in winning against Boston, Minnesota have similar 10-5 records against California and New York. The Red Sox in turn have had little trouble with the Cleveland Indians, win- ning 11 out of 14. The Detroit Tigers have decisioned the Balti- more Orioles in all but three of 16 tilts played to date this year for the most wins against any club. Chicago White Sox have had the easiest time with the same Cleveland nine with an 8-3 record. The Indians get a chance this week to close the gap on their season play with the White Sox as they meet four times. RUNNERS SCARCE The Teen Towners got little chance to test their base running abilities in the first game of the series as Doug Kennedy on the Kinsmen hill was in complete control in throwing his no-hit 9-0 shut-out. Scott Burton walked in the second and Bill Bourne was alive on an error in the fifth to ac- count for the only 69'er runners. Singles by Jim Russell, George Pratt and Kennedy sent the first, and what proved to be the winning Kinsmen run, across in the sec- ond stanza. They scored twice in the third and added four more in the next inning mainly on the strength of Jim Hewitt's home run smash. The final Kin tallies came around in the seventh on a couple of walks and a single from the bat of Lyle Little. They are ready to roll The South Huron senior Panthers get their first taste of actual 1967 football competition when they meet St. Marys in an exhibition contest at the local school grounds, Friday. The probable starting offensive team is shown above. Back, from left: Bill Fairbairn, Jim Hayter, Scott Burton, Bud Desjardine and Bill Farquhar. Front, Ron Durand, Lawrence Brown, Ross Huff, John Godbolt, Martin Manley, Bill.Huxtable and Bill Bourne, — T-A photo READY FOR PLAYOFF With the American league race so close, of- ficials have made arrangements to cover every pos- sibility in the way of ties for first place. If two clubs are deadlocked for first after the final league game on October 1 a best-of-three series will be played to decide a winner. If three teams finish in a tie, they will go into round-robin elimination with the first team to drop two games falling by the wayside. A four-way stalemate is still a definite pos- sibility and this would certainly delay the start of the World Series by as much as a week. If this does happen the four clubs would draw lots to determine the opposition for semi-final series of two-out-of- three. The two winners would then play another three-game set to declare a team to meet the St. Louis Cardinals for the baseball championship of the world. RAVELLE SAVES DAY A two-out single from the bat of catcher Pete Ravelle sent a Crediton runner home from third with two out in the bottom of the seventh to tie the score at 5-5 with the Legion in Wednesday's contest in Crediton. Both teams played very loose ball in the early innings as most of the runs scored were of the unearned variety. Crediton hurler Gord Slaght scored the winning run with one out in the eighth as he slid home on a close play just beating the throw from Legion third sacker Gerry Finnen on a slowly hit ground ball. Slaght and Vet chucker Dick Bennett hooked up in the tight pitchers battle but both were hampered by fielding lapses by their mates. BETTER SCORES ? How many five pin bowlers in the area have been having trouble over the years with the count pin, that pesky little hunk of wood that sits over on the left hand side of the alley? Sit it usually does when it is there by itself. For the 1967-68 bowling season that starts this week, blows have been eliminated and the scores of most bowlers will increase by quite a bit. The top bowlers in the Exeter men's league who hit an average of 220 to 230 or more should be up by about five pins. Even the best of bowlers would generally miss the count pin on one occasion in the weekly three-game set and this would increase their score by 15 pins an evening and five per game. As to how much effect it will have on the av- erage or lower bowlers still remains to be seen, but it could certainly be considerable and will put a lot of keglers into the 200 average category. Bowlers carrying an average of 175 could, on the old system, blow as often as four times in a sin- gle night. The change in scoring procedure would put such a bowler up to an average of at least 195. MORE ARGUMENTS Because of the closeness of the race in the American league, arguments with umpires have be- come more frequent. Cal Hubbard, one of the big- gest men to ever umpire in the big leagues and now supervisor of the American loop's men in blue, is unperturbed by the complaints against his men. "The collar is getting a little tighter," chuck- led Hubbard. "Whenever the race gets tight, every- body has a complaint the first time a play is called against him. But the breaks even up. Umpires are human," Cal added with that wonderful logic be- stowed only on umpires, "although I've never seen an umpire call one wrong." CADDIES WANTED Gib Dow, who is in charge of operations at the Ausable Golf Club, passes along word that about 10 young boys are needed to serve as fore caddies at the course for a Bell Telephone tournament on September 23. The boys will not be asked to carry bags or clubs but actually go ahead of the golfer and keep an eye out for balls that may stray a bit from the course. A substantial front wall Coach Ron Bogart of the South Huron senior Panthers is satisfied his defensive line will give a good account of themselves in this year's play. Above, are six of the stalwart defenders that are expected to hold the St. Marys attack in line inFriday's pre-season game. Front from left, Dunc Etherington, Danny Shoebottom, Brad Hamilton and Uilke Nagel. Back, Gord Greenwood and John Pryde. T-A photo High school footballers prepare for league play The school day usually ends at about 3:30 for most students but not so for 80 boys at South Huron District High School. They are candidates for the two school football clubs that will be competing in the Huron-Perth Conference schedule that opens in the next week or two. The senior Panthers, under the direction of coach Ron Bogart, have been down to serious busi- ness this week and are meeting St. Marys in an exhibition con- test at the local school grounds Friday afternoon at two o'clock. Bogart has trimmed his squad to about 30 and is quite pleased with the performance of h i s charges to date. He has a good mixture of ingredients that should produce a winning club. A goodly portion of last year's club is back, along with at least six performers from the 1966 junior club and several boys that were ineligible last year because of their grades, Smiley —Continued from page 4 could only imagine the panic of those parents who were there with five kids darting in all dir- ections. And there were thous- ands of families, down to three- week-olds, muling and puking in their mothers' arms. Another problem with Kim was shoes. Going barefoot all sum- mer she has acquired built-in leather soles. First day she wore shoes, balefully. Second day she stood them for an hour, carried them the rest of the day. Third day, she was happy in raggedy jeans, bare feet, and no parents. No point in my describing the pavilions. But trying to see them all, especially the big ones, is like trying to eat six big meals in a day, one right after the other. If time is limited, nibble the hor d'oeuvre; rum and bongoes at the Haiti pavilion; the stuffed dodo bird at Mauritius; Princess Grace at Monaco. You are not allowed to nibble either Princess G or the dodo, but you get the idea. If you've been, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, go. Cash in that insurance policy. You'll be a long time dead. After Tuesday's practice, coach Bogart announced his prob- able line-up for Friday's test against the senior gridders from St. Marys. Scott Burton will start at the quarterback post with Bill Fair- bairn and Bill Farquhar at half- backs and Bud Desjardine and Jim Hayter handling fullback du- ties. John Godbolt will be at centre in the offensive line and will be flanked by Ross Huff and Martin Manley at the guard positions. Starting tackles will be Bill Hux- table and Lawrence Brown while Bill Bourne and Kevin McKin- non will cover the end positions.
