Most of Friday afternoon and eve- ning at the Canadian National Exhibition in Tor011to and certainly enjoyed Our time, especially at the evening grandstand show. Directors of the CNE should be commended for their choice of an All-Canadian cast to present a 'historical pageant, "From. Sea to Sea". Nearly 500 Canadian actors, actresses, danc- ers and cowboys are used in the two-hour presenta- tion that depicts the history of our country for about 17 years after Confederation. It seems fitting that a year after our country celebrated its 100th birthday, our largest exhibition takes the time and effort to take a peek back into our fabulous history. Written by Canadian comedian Don Harron, "From Sea to Sea" is a humorous depiction of hap- penings surrounding Confederation and the CPR. The pageant •opens with a colorful horticultur- al display and exhibition that was opened in 1868 by Sir John A. MacDonald and carries through to the driving of the last spike on the Canadian Pacific Railway at Eagle Pass in 1885. The show winds up with the entry of the Iron Miracle train and the flight of Sir John A. high over the grandstand in a hot air balloon. Sticking strictly to Canadian talent, the bal- loon, called the "Spirit of Canada," is the only Can- adian-built balloon in the country, and the pilot, Stanley Sheldrake, holds the first balloon licence in Ontario. The balloon is 60 feet high, 50 feet in di- ameter, displaces 60,000 cubic feet and is propelled by two propane burners that produce up to four million BTU's of heat, enough to heat 40 houses. While the CNE grandstand show is not a sporting event, we would like to recommend it to anyone that will be in the Toronto area, especially those interested in the history of our country. HOCKEY SHOW, TOO A must for any sport fan taking in the Ex is a trip to the Hockey Hall of Fame. We only spent about a half hour in looking at the many pictures, trophies and displays, but will be going back again to have a better look. Of .prime interest to us was, of course, the picture and story on Exeter's Hall of Famer, Allan W. Pickard. Al, now an Exeter resident, gained entry to the Hall of Fame through his many years spent in promoting hockey in Western Canada and his contribution to the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association. He spent three terms as president of the CAHA. Pickard's picture appears .in the hockey build- ing in a section devoted to builders of our national game. The only item we took exception to was the notation that he now resided in. Regina. Each day during the exhibition, an NHL star is on hand as a goodwill ambassador. Friday, the celebrity was Dennis Hull. The Stanley Cup was on display in the centre of the building. Since the time of the original do- nation by Governor General Lord Stanley, the Cup has been changed four times, now being a very large piece of silverware. Many hours could be spent in looking at the pictures of all the Stanley Cup championship teams from 1894 to the "present time and Allan Cup champs from 1908. SUNDAY AFTERNOON HOCKEY The Toronto Maple Leafs will be playing at Maple Leaf Gardens on a Sunday for a first time this year, according to the schedule recently releas- ed by the National Hockey League. The Leafs will be playing back-to-back week- end home games on March 1 and 2 because of the NHL's television arrangement with the Columbia Broadcasting System. Punch Imlach's club will be playing host to the Pittsburg Penguins on the Saturday night and the Chicago Black Hawks on the following after- noon. The team, which missed the playoffs for the first time since 1957-58 last season, will have one long road trip, seven games in 15 nights, starting January 19. A similar trip last winter began their collapse to fifth spot in the league standings. The home season for the Leafs opens on Wednesday, October 16 with Pittsburg supplying the opposition. They open in Detroit on October 13. A week ago. the Zurich pim, ber. KingS:looked ,as if .theY, Were a sure thing to represent the Huron-Perth intermediate base- ball league in the Ontario Base- ball Association ,fp" playabwhs, The situation has changed drastically since that time and a three-way tie for top honors IS a distinct PoSSibilitY. At the moment, Zurich is still on top with four wins and three losses while the Dashwood Tigers are even at three and three and the Hensall Merchants have three wins in seven starts, The Tigers and Merchants met on the Herisall diamond, Wednes- day in a crucial contest while Da.shwood plays host to the Lum- ber Kings, Friday in the final game of the double round robin series. A Hensall win Wednesday and a Dashwood victory on Friday would put all three clubs on even 'terms. Wednesday, Zurich downed Hensall 7-2, the Merchants came back to blast Da.shwood 8-2, Fri- day and the Tigers knocked off Zurich 9-4, Sunday afternoon. Tuesday night, Hensall outscored Zurich 5-1 to set the stage for an exciting windup td. the local "D" playoffs. cDONALD TAMES KINGS Hensall right hander Cam Mc- Donald was in rare form Tues- day in holding the Zurich Lum- ber Kings to four scattered hits as the Merchants chalked up a 5-1 decision to stay in the play- off hunt. The Merchants scored four times in the fifth inning to grab an unsurmountable lead. Four Zurich errors, a walk and a single from the bat of Bruce Moir sent the Hensall club into the lead. The other run for the winners came in the eighth on a single by Bob Lavery and Steve Kyle's double. Zurich's only run came on a leadoff home run by second Greys drop out of first playoff The Exeter Greys after holding the Milverton Stars to a close decision in the first game of the Huron Ladies softball quarter final series fell apart in the sec- ond game in Milverton Thursday and were on the short end of a 19-5 count. The Greys, although dropping the series in two straight games are still in the running for league consolation honors and will be meeting Broadhagen in the next round. Broadhagen dropped a similar series to Brucefield. LOSE EARLY Milverton scored five times in their first turn at bat and the Greys were never in the running thereafter. The winners added four markers in the second, came roaring back with an eight run splurge in the fifth and added single runs in each of the seventh and eighth frames to wrap up the victory. Exeter's first marker came in the second and they added a pair in each of the seventh and ninth innings. Back to back singles by Lynn Farquhar and Pat Down sent the first Exeter run across the plate. Joan Campbell's one base knock, a sacrifice and error produced the pair of Grey runs in the seventh and consecutive singles from the bats of Jan Bennett, Glenda 'Fisher and Sheila Willert concluding the Exeter scoring in the ninth.

Bill Shaddick, GAIN EARLY LEAP After a scoreless first inning, the Dashwood Tigers kept peck; ing away and built up an 8-2 lead after five innings of play in Zur- ich, Sunday on their way to the convincing 9-4 win. Lefty Dave Ratz, who went the full nine inning distance on the Dashwood mound held the Lum ber Kings to six hits, but ran into his only trouble through several flurries of wildness. The Tigers tagged Zurich's veteran right hander DonO'Brien for 13 hits in running their run total up to nine, Singles by Gord Vincent and Pete Ra.velle sent the first Tiger marker across the plate in the second inning and they were never headed. Back-to-back doubles by Bill Schade and Whitey Denoinme along with Bob Hoffman's single upped the Dashwood lead to 3-0 in the third. They were able to double the score in the top of the fourth with Bob Hoffman's long three bagger being the key blow. Singles were added by Jim Hayter and Dave Ratz. The Lumber Kings found the scoring range for the first time in the bottom of the same inn- ing, tallying a pair of runs on singles by Doug O'Brien and. Earl Wagner and a double from the bat of Phil Overholt. Gord Vincent's single com- bined with a couple of Zurich errors produced a pair of Dash- wood runs in the fifth and Bob Hoffman's solo homer, his third hit of the afternoon complete the Tiger tallying in the top of the eighth. Zurich's final run came in the eighth on a walk, a hit bats- man and George Haggitt's double. Bill Schade duplicated Hoffman in the hit department, collecting a double and a pair of one base knocks. HENSALL DOWNS TIGERS Playing coach Steve Kyle al- lowed only' two base hits on the Dashwood diamond, Friday and his mates collected an even doz- en hits as the Hensall Merchants won their second game of the playoff series, 8-2 over the Tig- ers. The visiting Merchants jumped in front with two runs in the top of the first and continued to stay on top the rest of the way in the abbreviated six inning contest.
