ALL poop- SPORTS. :By Ross 'Haugh, Hockey loop undecided While it seem's early to be talking about hock- ey for next winter, plenty of thought is being put into 'the fate of junior hockey in Canada, Last week we talked about formation of the new Canadian Hockey Association and the attempts to bring last year's Bluewater junior league into the neW organization. Derry Boyle, president of the Exeter Minor Hockey Association attended a meeting in, Wallace- burg, Thursday, of clubs interested in affiliating with the CHA. CHA president Ron Butlin of Calgary was in attendance and informed the group of the intentions and plans of his association. Butlin told the meeting, "we are not soliciting entries, just answering inquiries all across the coun- try." Butlin's group already 'has most of last year's Western junior "B" OHA teams in the fold to play "A" hockey. Sarnia, Chatham and St. Thomas along with Windsor, Brantford and Guelph have given approval to join the CHA. It was expected if the "A" league became a reality, most of last year's Bluewater junior clubs would likely decide on playing "B" hockey un- der the CHA banner. The exact outcome of the meeting in Wallace- burg is still not known. OHA representatives Jack Oakes and Hugh MacLean were also in attendance and apparently did a good selling job. A report in Friday's Free Press said four clubs decided to stay with the OHA. Boyle said he left the meeting about eleven o'clock and 'had the feeling most of the clubs were ready to swing to the CHA. The news release from Wallaceburg said Blenheim, Petrolia, Dresden and Leamington would remain in the OHA while Wallace- burg and Exeter were in favor of the new grouping after a four-hour marathon vote that went to five rounds. After apparent defeat of a move to the CHA, Wallaceburg representative Jack Burgess said there was a possibility there would be no junior hockey in his community this season. "We are not interested at all in belonging to the OHA. It's unfortunate the other teams didn't see their way clear into joining the CHA with us," added Burgess. Although Boyle didn't actually vote, he left the impression with the group that Exeter would be in favor of the new organization. Derry told us Monday morning, "As far as I am concerned this issue is still up in the air. If a new CHA grouping isn't formed we will definitely go with the OHA. Our entry fee and bond is already in the hands of the OHA. We will certainly have a jun- ior team, although I am still in favor of switching to the CHA." "The only thing that bothered me about for- mation of a new league was the long trips to Leam- ington, Blenheim and Wallaceburg. In the proposed grouping we would have been able to provide our fans with an exciting brand of hockey," added the local prexy. Under CHA regulations, the junior age limit is under 21 on January 1, as opposed to the OHA restriction of under 20 at the same time. This would have allowed every member of the 1967-68 edition of the Exeter junior Hawks to play another full sea- son. The CHA rules would allow importing of three or four players from the district for junior "B" hockey with some restrictions. In the Exeter situa- tion, players from Mitchell, St. Marys or Goderich who were too old for, junior under OHA regulations, could play here under the. CHA code. In the case of imports, a player could reside in his own town and commute for games. CHA rules does not allow the payment of tuition and board for junior players. TOP CONTESTS ON TAP Softball fans throughout the district who en- joyed the exhibition softball game at Exeter Com- munity Park as part of the mammoth Dominion Day celebration will have the chance to see other top- notch games this summer. Ed Hearn, manager of the Exeter Rec league all-stars has announced plans for other exhibition contests. The local all-stars who lost to Sturdy Tow- ing of London by a single run will play a return game with the same club at West Lions Park in Lon- don, Saturday night at eight o'clock. Arrangements are being made for games with other city league teams from London. Another con- test, still in the making, would be the big one of the year. Hearn said he is making headway in getting London TV Cable to visit Exeter later in the summer for an exhibition game, although London's star hurl- er Dick Hames probably would not appear here. Hensall ball club gets anot h er win the plate in the fourth, Gary Kyle scored on a ZutiCh error in the fifth and Tom Dairymple's One base kneel( sent Bruce }for- ten plateWatd in the Sixth, Singles by Steve Kyle and Her- ten and Doug Dalrymple'S double accounted for the final three Sall runs in the seventh. Earl Wagner doubled and scored the first Zurich run in 'the fifth and Bob Johnston singled. to 'open the Seventh and came around to count on a Walk and 'a wild pitch. Cam McDonald and Bob Moir Shared the Hensall pitching duties while Earl Wagner, IDetiO'Brien, George Sweeney and EiCk Bedard toiled for the Lumber Kings. SWeenert stay in the game was thOrn 1EC eartie into the game in the fifth and in the nekt inning broke hiS right kith in two places while delivering the ball to the The standing in the Exeter and district Rec softballleague tight- ened up considerably over the past week. The Legion nine despite a pair of losses continues in first place with five wins in nine league starts. The Teen Town B,A. 98's and Kinsmen follow in second spot with four wins each. Crediton holds down fourth po- sition with three wins in six starts and Centralia Hughes Boat Works trails in the basement with a single win to their credit in five starts. In Thursday action, Crediton edged the Legion 7-4 and the Kinsmen downed Centralia 124. Monday, Teen Towners dumped the Legion 8-2 and Tuesday, the Kinsmen blanked Centralia 21-0. A full slate of games is on tap for this week. Tonight, Thurs- day, the Teen Towners travel to Centralia while the Kinsmen play host to Crediton. Monday evening, Centralia will be at Crediton while the Kin and Teen tangle in Exeter. GO AHEAD EARLY The Teen BA 98's scored three times in the second inning and were never headed in Monday's 8-2 win over the Legion. Doug Kennedy's double and singles from the bats of Terry Bourne, Larry Willert, Rick MacDonald and Mery Taylor sent the initial BA runs across the plate. Singles by Bourne and Ken- nedy resulted in another run in the third and two more Teen Town runners crossed the plate Midgets gain win column The Exeter midget softball club came up with their first win of the season, Wednesday, outscor- ing Lucknow 14-11 and then drop- ped a '7-4 decision to the same club Friday, by a '7-4 count. The local midgets, coached by Lorne Haugh, now have a season record of one win in four starts in the district WOAA grouping. HOMERS DO THE TRICK The long ball proved the dif- ference in the 14-11 Exeter win over Lucknow. Pitcher Larry Laye and third sacker Ron Lin- denfield each cracked two home runs and Doug Finkbeiner poled a single round tripper to lead the Exeter hitting attack. The second homer for Linden- field and Laye came in the fifth inning to produce five runs and send the Exeter club out in front to stay in a game that was see- saw back and forth up to that point. The only other Exeter per- former to get a hit in addition to the long ball sluggers was Greg Revington who doubled in the seventh. Finkbeiner added a single and double to go with his home run. ANOTHER CLOSE ONE The second game between the Eketet and Lucknow midgets was again ,a close one with the score being in'doubt until the latet innings. Lucknow Stoted once in the sixth and twice in the seventh to .gain the victory. Eton Janke's triple and double by Larry Haugh sent the first two Exeter runs across the, plate in the first' inning, thekneW bounced badk with' pair of runs In each of the first and second franieS to take a Short- lived two run margin. have Marshall crossed the plate for 'Exeter in the fourth and 4anke scored in the fifth eiter banging out donble, Completing the Exeter gains total of fiVe hits Were Marshall and John Lawson, eadh. notching singleS. in the fourth on one base blows delivered by Scott Burton and Taylor.

Pinder singled in a pinch hitting role in the fifth and came around to plate the first Legion run on a couple of errors. Successive singles by Dick Bennett, Ron Bogart and Floyd Patton produced the final Legion tally in the sixth. Doug Kennedy and Jack Fuller combined on the Teen Town hill to hold the Legion batters seven hits while striking out seven. Don Mousseau took the pitching loss for the Legion. ALLOWS ONE HIT Don Bell allowed only one hit in Centralia., Tuesday as Exeter Kinsmen bombed Hughes Boat Works 21-0.
