Throughout The years, the majority of clubs

sent their respective leagues in the. World. Series.
If this theory holds true this year, it will he.
the Tigers and the $t. Louis Cardinals- tangling in the
fail classic come October.
As this is being written on the weekend, the
Tigers and. the Cards have ..solid first place margins.
In the Detroit situation, this appears to be their big
chance to take all the marbles. They have been very
successful so far this year in taking one-run deci-
sions, which is quite contrary to other seasons.
A big reason for Detroit failures in the last
couple of years has been elongated slumps that could
extend to as much as a dozen games. So far this
year, their longest losing streak has been three
games. When they do lose, in 'mast cases they do it,
in great style, as in Sunday's 12-0 loss to the White
Sox..
Most of the Tiger supporters are high on their
team's chances. One was heard to say only last week,
"Look where we are now with Al Kaline still on the
sidelines, wait until he gets back, then we will really
roll."
This happened much sooner than most expect-
ed as Kaline was back in the regular lineup Monday
and contributed a key single to help the Tigers on
the way to a 5-1 win over California.
Manager Mayo Smith solved what looked like
a real problem by inserting Kaline at first base when
he came back this week from a five-week layoff.
Kaline's replacement in right field, Jim Northrup,
has been swatting the baill in recent weeks as if he
liked the position and wanted to stay in the regular
lineup.
In a recent game, Northrup swatted two con-
secutive grand slam home runs to tie a modern day
record. If he continues this torrid hitting pace, Ka-
line will likely remain at first base, a position many
top hitters move to in the latter years of their ca-
reers. Recent examples of this are Mickey Mantle,
Orlando Cepeda, Ernie Banks and Harmon Killebrew.
• HOLD COACHING CLINIC
The Western Ontario Athletic Association, in
co-operation with the Community Programmes
Branch of the Ontario Department of Education, is
holding a coaching clinic in Clinton, Sunday, in an
attempt to improve baseball and softball calibre
throughout •the district.
• The clinic will be held in the Clinton Com-
munity Arena and will run from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00
p.m. and is open to all coaches, managers, trainers,
players and any interested spectators.
Various aspects of the game, including pitch-
ing, catching, offensive and defensive play along with
batting and fielding will be covered. Instructional
films will also be shown at the clinic with no charge
for attending.
PLAYGROUND UNDERWAY
Exeter and area boys and girls attending this
year's Kin summer playground at the various parks
in town are assured of a full and varied recreation
program.
Recreation director Alvin Willert and his four
supervisors are taking registrations this week. The
first week is pretty well confined to getting acquaint-
ed.
The second week will have an International
flavour with a parade on Friday when customs of
many countries will be depicted. In the following
weeks, the emphasis will be on drama, olympic
sports, nature and circus.
Included in nature week will be a trip to
Storybook Gardens in London and a camp-out for
the older youngsters. The entire program will come
to a close on Friday, August 9 with a penny carnival
and parade.
SUMMER CAMP AVAILABLE
Boys and girls from this area have the oppor-
tunity again to attend "Camp Boomohra", near Gode-
rich from August 11 to 18. This camp operated by
the Hanover Recreation committee is supervised by
Don "Boom" Gravett, a former Rec Director here.
This camp, situated on the shores of Lake
Huron three miles north of Goderich, is open to boys
and girls from eight to 15 years of age and total cost
for the full week of camping is $17. Registration
forms are available from Alvin Willert at the arena
or swimming pool.

Exeter Greys went down to
their second straight defeat in
Huron Ladies' softball play in
Hensall Tuesday, losing to the
Brucefield Bombers 15-4.
The local team had suffered
a 10-0 defeat, at the hands of
the Goderich Dodgers in the lake-
port town a couple of weeks ago
in the first gaiffeof the schedule.
Tuesday's victory was Bruce-
field's second in three starts.
The Greys travel to Milverton,
Friday and will be at home against
St. Marys, Tuesday.
USE BIG RALLIES
The Bombers confined their
scoring to three innings on their
way to the lopsided 15-4 win over
the Greys. Eleanor Shiel's triple
and singles from the bats of Pat
Rathwell and Diane Carter were
mainly responsible for the first
four Brucefield runs crossing the
plate in the first inning.
Sandra Grahm's home run and
a triple by Shiels were the big
blows in a seven run Bomber up-
rising in the third and Mary Lou
Hyde's round tripper in the sixth
sent the final runs across the
plate in the fifth.
The Exeter runs came in pairs
in the second and fifth frames
and in each case three consecu-
tive singles to open 'the inning
produced the runs.
Pat Down, Jane Broderick and
Sheila Willert delivered the one-
base knocks in the second while
Darlene Snell, Jan Bennett and
Ann Jorgensen banged out singles
in the fifth.
Snell, Down, Broderick, Wil-
lert and Joan Campbell each
picked up two hits to lead the
Exeter batting attack.

After getting off to a poor
start in which they won only two
of their first six contests, the
Tigers now have five wins, four
losses and a tie in their ten out-
ings. Another win was snatched
from their grasp Wednesday.
They were leading St. Marys
when the game was called be-
cause of darkness in the fourth
inning.
Rain curtailed action in the
popular intermediate league with
the Dashwood-Hensall contest
being the only one played during
the past week involving district
teams.
Most of the clubs swing back
into action this week with Hensall
travelling to St. Marys tonight,
Thursday and Dashwood visiting
Thorndale, Friday. Mitchell is
at Zurich Saturday while Hen-
sall and Dashwood play at home
Sunday against the same clubs
they met earlier in the week.
Tuesday, Zurich is at St. Marys
and Hensall will be at home to
Mitchell.
LOTS OF WHIFFINGS
Although six runs were scored
during the Monday game in Dash-
wood, the pitchers were in control
of the game. Dave Ratz went the
distance for the winning Tigers,
fanning eight visitors while play-
ing coach Steve Kyle on the Hen-
sall mound sent elevenDashwood
batters down by way of the strike-
out route.
In between the num e r o u s
strikeouts, the Dashwood club
managed to get to Kyle for eight
base hits. Ratz gave up only one
hit, that to Kyle in the first inn-
ing. Catcher Bruce Horton reach-
ed first on an error with one out
in the opening frame and scored
Hensall's only run a moment
later on Kyle's safety.
The Tigers scored three times
in the third inning on two free
tickets to first and Bill Scha.de's
double and a single from the bat
of Whitey Denomme.
They completed the scoring in
their half of the eighth on a single
by Schade, his fourth hit of the
night and similar safeties de-
livered by Denomme and Ratz.

Sturdy Towing of London took
advantage of the two round trip-
pers to post a '7-6 decision over
the Exeter Rec league all-stars

The game was close through-

the other holding a slim lead. The
local all-stars were first to hit
