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. t`"' ,a795 There must be They sure Make a gal do things the hard way.

Ball throw (distance), Jane Greys drop second tilt 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. Barb Swan went the distance on the Brucefield mound while Marie Tiernan arid Pat Down shared the Greys' pitching duties. they downed Hensall Merchants 5-1 in'Dashwood, Monday after- noon.

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. game of the week to take over undisputed possession of first place In the Exeter and district.

Doug Kennedy, tossing for the BA's sent 14 Centralia batters down swinging while Chuck Tay- lor for the losers recorded 10 strikeouts. The BA club touched Taylor for four safeties while Kennedy was giving up a trio of base hits. Bill Farquhar doubled in the first inning and scored on a couple of infield outs to open the scoring for the winners. Centralia bounced back to score twice in the fifth to take A pair of back-to-back home runs in the eighth inning provid- ed the difference in Monday's exhibition softball contest that was one of the features of Ex- eter's Dominion Day celebra- tions. 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 in an exciting nine inning game. The game was close through- out with first one team and then the other holding a slim lead. The local all-stars were first to hit the score sheet in the bottom of the first inning. With one out, Dick Bennett drew a walk, moved to third on Jim Russell's ringing double and both scored on Bill Gilfillan's single up the middle. The visitors forged in front in the top of the third with three Lawn bowlers complete week For the first time in several weeks, members of the Exeter lawn bowling club were able to complete a full week of activities without rain spoiling their plans. Mrs. Ivan Hill proved to be the best in Tuesday's action as she compiled two wins and a plus of 20 to lead the way. Art Cann was the runner-up bowler with a sim- ilar win record and a plus of 17. A plus of 14 to go with two wins earned third spot for Bill. Etherington while Ray Smith and. Mabel McKnight followed in fourth and fifth places, respec- tively. Saturday evening play s a w Harold Simpson emerge as the winner with two wins and a plus of 15. Len McKnight was close behind with an identical win rec- ord and a plus of 14. Following in the next two po- sitions were Lillian Pym and Edna Caldwell with respective pluses of 11 and 9. runs on Jim Carey's triple to deep left field. The Exeter club bounced back in the bottom of the same inn- ing with a four run rally to move in front again. Similar one base blows from the bats of Gerry Finnen, Dick Bennett, Ron Bo- gart and Scott Burton powered the four run splurge. The London club replied with single runs in the fourth and seventh innings to cut the Exeter margin to a single run and set the stage for the two homers off reliever Don Bell in the eighth. A promising Exeter rally went astray in the eighth when an at- tempted squeeze play backfired into a double play. Doug Kennedy worked the first seven innings on the E xeter mound and returned to toss the ninth. :runners home safely, The Teen TOWners, quickly knotted The ..P.C9r.e. :in. their turn at the same inning' • with Bill jiet474p.!,e..single doing the trick, A walk, two hit bats-. • inen and put Fairbairn's single completed the the .scoring 14 the • ,eixtri:freple, Although fires oon't always kill trees they often cause in-juries which may eventually kill the tree or affect it for life. at deals ON LIKE-NEW CARS 66 CHEVELLE 2-door, 6 cylinder, automatic, radio 65 METEOR 2-door Hardtop, loaded, power equipped, new paint H47064 64 CHEVROLET Stationwagon, rebuilt motor, 6 cyl., stick 30011X 64 FORD 500 Fairlane radio, V-8 automatic, motor completely overhauled H47929 63 MERCURY 4-door Sedan, V-8 auto., radio E82148 62 PONTIAC Convertible, V-8 auto., 283 cu. in., new top, new paint, yellow A87748 56 MORRIS Station Wagon 98327X NOW IN STOCK 68 AUSTIN 1100 automatic SOUTH -END SERVICE Exeter 235-2322 List track winners from Biddulph meet an easier way their heels Into the beep frelii MIS AWkwatdotitioti, the okotbssioris oil the fateS"'6f the spectators range' from biljOYthetit thtough attitite., trient, as teacher Mfg, Lloyd tarvey records 'the teere, :PliotO Rec league all-stars drop exhibition game
