Numbers mean a lot of different things to different
people. For example, the number 7 has importance for
many, while others hold 3, 11, 13 and many more in par-
ticular awe. For customers of the Exeter exchanges the
number 1.271-3911 and for customers of the Centralia and
Crediton exchanges the number 112.271-3911 will have
particular significance as of October 16. That is the num-
ber you will be dialing to contact your Bell Canada business
office. And there will be no toll charge attached to it either.
October 17 is an important day for residents of On-
tario. We are given the privilege of really working at
democracy instead of merely reading or talking about it.
Our Provincial election, October 17, provides the oppor-
tunity for all of us to share the responsibility of living in
a free land. Use your vote — it's too precious a privilege
and responsibility to ignore.
How much can you say in a three-minute phone call?
A lot. Slow talkers can get in about 450 words, while peo-
ple who talk fast can whiz through 'about 750 words. Many
important ideas can be expressed in three minutes. Just
consider: Lincoln needed only 267 words for the Gettysburg
Address and Shakespeare used jus 363 for Hamlet's famous
soliloquy "To be or not to be." So when you have some•
thing to say to someone far away, do try Long Distance —
a real bargain. Especially if your calls are within Ontario
and Quebec and you call any evening after 8 o'clock or
anytime Sunday,

Oust Crediton in five games
As this is being written the 1967 World Se-
ries has not yet been decided and our choice, the
Boston Red Sox still have a chance although not in
six games as we suggested a week ago.
A fitting climax to the entire baseball season
would be a seventh and deciding game bringing to-
gether Jim Lon'borg of the Red Sox and Bob Gibson
of the Cards in what should be a terrific pitching
battle.
The series to date has produced its share of
stars such as the two aforementioned pitchers along
with others like Carl Yastrzemski, Curt Flood and
Lou Brock.
Especially for the St. Louis Cardinals this
would rank as a fairly quiet series in contrast to
some experienced by the club in ten other appear-
ances in the fall classic dating back to 1926.
The Cards, known throughout the 1930's and
40's as the Gashouse Gang, were well known for
their exciting and unpredictable and daring base-
ball play.
Included in the list of unforgettables with the
Cardinals were Dizzy and Daffy Dean, Pepper Martin,
Frankie Frisch and Grover Cleveland Alexander.
Speaking of the Dean boys, a film, "The Pride
of St. Louis", that characterized their baseball ca-
reers was seen locally on Friday's midnight movie.
We saw most of the latest showing of the movie
and were interested to nate several highlights of
the 1934 World Series were not shown.
In that memorable series that was one of the
most exciting and riotous in the annuals of Amer-
ica's most popular summer sport, the Dean's were
at their best.
Dizzy and Paul each won two games as the
Cards edged the Detroit Tigers four games to three.
It wasn't much of an edging in the seventh and final
contest as the Cards won 11-0.
In the sixth inning of the last game, Joe
"Ducky" Medwick of the Cards collided forcibly with
Tiger third baseman Mary Owen. When Medwick re-
turned to his left field position after the inning, fans
in the left field stands threw fruit, vegetables and
whatever other missiles they could find, at him,
The produce barrage continued until Com-
missioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis ordered Med-
wick from the game. The Cards and manager Frankie
Frisch always insisted the ejection was not justified
but undoubtedly it was the only way to restore or-
der.
At the time of the incident the Cardinals were
leading 9-0. Detroit fans that year probably set a
record for partisan demonstrations. There was noisy
bedlam outside the Cardinals' hotel each night far
into the late hours and if any Redbirds had ventured
out they would have needed police protection.
About 15 years later, Ernie Orsatti, an out-
fielder with the 1934 Cards was in Detroit on busi-
ness as an actor's agent and when recognized by the
hotel clerk was refused a room.
In the fourth game of the same series, Dizzy
Dean, in the game as a pinch-runner, was hit on the
head by a thrown ball by Tiger shortstop Billy Rogell
and had to be carried off the field.
The 1931 World Series was highlighted by the
most outstanding one-man show in diamond history.
Pepper Martin was at his best batting an even .500.
Martin came up with a dozen hits, including four
doubles, a homer, stole five bases and made the dif-
ference as the Cardinals defeated the favored Phila-
delphia Athletics in seven games.
Frank Frisch has described that 1931 Cardi-
nal team as the best he ever played with. Inciden-
tally, Frisch had the honour of throwing out the
first ball at Sunday's fourth game of the series.
The Cardinals have an admirable record in
World Series play. They have won seven out of ten
Series and have never been defeated in competition
that went the limit of seven games.
Rec ball title to Kinsmen
A pitcher that has the ability to
win his own game with a timely
base hit is a valuable asset to
any ball club and Don Bell proved
his worth as the Exeter Kinsmen
won the Exeter and district Rec
softball championship at Exeter
Community Park, Thursday night.
The Kinsmen shaded Crediton
Tigers 6-3 to take the best-of-
seven series four games to one.
In the game that decided the
winner of the popular play-for-
fun league, Ball was at his best
on the mound and at the plate.
The fire-balling right hander
of the Kin club held the Crediton
batters pretty well in check in
hanging up his fourth victory of
the series.
At the plate, Bell bashed out
three hits, including a homer,
scored twice and collected a pair
of RBI's to help sink the Crediton
crew.
The full nine inning contest
was the best played of the series
despite the cold weather. The
winning Kin nine jumped in front
in the bottom of the second when
Bell opened with a single, moved
up on a passed ball and came
home on a similar smash from the
bat of George Pratt.
The Crediton boys bounced
right back to score a single
run in the top of the third after
being retired in order in the
first two frames.
Lead-off batter Jim Pfaff sing-
led to left, moved to second as
pitcher Bob Laye was hit by a
pitch and scored on Roy Smith's
single up the middle.
After the first two Kinsmen
went back to the bench in the
last of the third, Jim Russel
and Don Bell smashed long home
runs in almost the same spot
in deep right field to put their
The insurance run was added
in the eighth as Don Bell's single,
his third safety of the game,
sent Jim Russell who had walked,
across to count the sixth and
final Kin tally of the contest.
Bell allowed seven well scat-
tered hits and struck out the
same number.
Bob Laye and Gord Slaght
shared the Crediton pitching
duties and were touched for a
total of eight hits while fanning
four.
club in front again this time
3-1.
The Tigers came up with their
last scoring spurt of the game
scoring twice to again knot the
count. Bob Laye started pro-
ceedings with a looping single to
left, but was forced at second
on Dick Coulter's grounder.
Roy Smith kept the rally go-
ing by drawing a free pass to
first, moving Coulter on to sec-
ond. With two out catcher Doug
Finkbeiner rapped a double to
right centre scoring both runners
but the Crediton threat died when
Finkbeiner was caught trying to
stretch his drive into a triple.
The ability to come through
after the first two batters were
retired provided the game win-
ning runs for the Kinsmen in the
bottom of the seventh.
With two out, Larry Stire was
safe at first as his ground ball
was bobbled by the Crediton in-
field and Jim Hewitt followed
with a bases clearing homer.
Senior Panthers win third,
juniors on short end again
The south Huron football teams
kept their streaks alive during a
twin bill against St. Marys
District Collegiate clubs at the
local high school field, Friday.
The senior Panthers rang up
their third straight win this time
by a 31-6 score and their junior
counterparts were on the short
end of a 6-0 count, their second
consecutive loss of the season.

scoring.
For the first time this year the
Panthers were on the short end
of total offensive statistics as
St. Marys ran up a good aerial
attack.
The Red Devils massed a total
yardage of 256, of which 188 yards
were gained by way of forward
passes. Their ground gainage was
a minus seven yards and they
picked up another '76 yards
through penalties.
The Panthers picked up 156
yards on the ground. Jim Hayter
was the big gainer betting 90
yards in 10 carries. Through the
air Burton completed two out of
five passes attempted good for
24 yards.

Although the South Huron jun-
iors were unable to score in the
6-0 loss to St. Marys they did
move the ball well on the ground
and were able to get to the op-
position 10 yard line on several
occasions.
EARLY SCORE
The visitors from St. Marys
wasted little time in getting on
the scoreboard and throwing a bit
of a scare into the South Huron
camp as they scored on an 88 yard
pass play the first time they got
their hands on the ball.
This came as a bit of a sur-

Jim Hayter, panther fullback
who scored four touchdowns in
the pre-season contest, continued
his power running on Friday, rac-

After the quick deficit, the

TWO DIVISIONS ?
The tremendous four-club race in the Ameri-
can league that went right down to the wire provides
an answer to the proposal to split each of the major
leagues into two divisions.
Earlier in the year the American league ap-
proved the idea of splitting up and forming a West-
ern and Eastern division consisting of five teams each
but the National loop failed to agree. If this scheme
ever becomes a reality, the two division winners in
each league will meet in a special playoff to decide
the World Series competitors.
If such a system had been in effect this sea-
son, the AL.'s eastern division would have been a
farce with the Red Sox enjoying a top-heavy lead
over the Orioles, Indians, Senators and Yankees.
The Twins, White Sox and Tigers would have
been embroiled in a three-way battle for the west-
ern crown, but since when is a three-club race better
than a four?
In the National league, the Cardinals would
have been a runaway winner in the western group
while Cincinatti Reds were best in the mythical east-
ern section. The Reds finished fourth in the overall
league standings and yet would have had a chance
to play off for the World Series.
Oddly, considering that the N.L. is against the
division idea and the A.L. is for it, the plan would
have produced more close races in the N.L. than
in the A.L. in the past five years.

HOCKEY DOES IT
While the major baseball leagues are debat-
ing the division proposals, the National hockey
league, also due to expansion, has split into two sec-
tions and will have playoffs to decide Stanley Cup
finalists.
The NHL governors in a recent meeting de-
cided that the playoff winner in the established east-
ern division will meet the champions of the new six-
team western division for the Stanley Cup, starting
April 4. Each of the divisions will stage four-team
playoffs to determine a Stanley Cup finalist.
President Clarence Campbell had suggested
playoff arrangements should be set up to avoid a
Stanley Cup final between an established team and
an expansion one which could be overmatched.
Governors decided each series must be com-
pleted within 11 days, In the past, teams have played
three playoff games in seven days and a full series
has consumed as long as 16 days.
