In the "A" division, Milverton leads Brucefield Bombers one game to nothing on the strength of a thrilling 3-2 win in 12 innings, Sunday. A BIG INNING HELPS A four run rally in the bottom of the fifth inning proved to be the difference in the opening Exeter win over Brodhagen: Five solid singles and a long triple were the big blows in the Grey rally. Consecutive one base blows by Joan Campbell, Sheila Willert, and Lynn Farquhar and Ann Jor- gensen's three bagger before anyone was retired in the fifth Good crowds at local bowl jitneys The twice weekly local jitneys of the Exeter Lawn Bowling club continue to draw a large number of entries with five prizes being awarded each night.

Brodhagen scored twice in the second inning to take an early game lead on LynnDixon'sdouble and a single by Shirley Watson. The visitors upped their lead to three in the third on Marie McLure's single, a walk, and an Exeter error. The Greys squared things quickly in the bottom of the same frame on a two-out s cor splurge. Willert and Farquhar singled to keep the Greys' scoring chances alive and catcher Ann Jorgensen cleared the bases with a long home run. Brodhagen second sacker Jan- ice Roe pocked a lead-off homer in the top of the fifth to give her club a temporary 4-3 edge onthe scoreboard. The four run rally in the fifth put the Greys out in front '7-4 and each club notched a single run in the sixth to complete the scoring for the night. Sheila Dietz homered to pro- duce the final Brodhagen marker and Jorgensen's double, her third hit of the game sent Willert home for the Greys. Marie Tiernan went the dist- ance on the mound to gain the first Exeter playoff pitching vict- ory. While allowing nine hits, Tie- rnan was tough in the clutch. She threw the third strike past a Brodhagen girl on three oc- casions with runners on base to end an inning. The Exeter batting attack was led by Ann Jorgensen and Lynn Farquhar, each with three hits to their credit. Sheila Willert, Marie Tiernan, Pat Down and Jane Broderick each collected two safeties and lone hits were contributed by Joan Campbell, Darlene Snell and Glenda Fisher. Dashwood club in midget playoff The Dashwood Midgets will have their backs to the wall when they meet Kendall in the second game of the Ontario Baseball As- sociation best-of-three finals on the Dashwood diamond, Saturday at 4 o'clock. In the opening game played in the Eastern Ontario city, Satur- day, the Da.shwood club was on the short end of a 20-5 count. Manager Ron Merner claims his boys will put on a much better show on their home field and ex- pects to force a deciding game. About half of the Dashwood players arrived only minutes be- fore the game started and were unable to get the driving kinks out of their systems for a couple of innings. A ten run rally by the Kendall club in the first inning and an- other outburst producing five runs in the third decided the issue. Michael Tieman and Joe 0'.- Rourke shared the Dashwood pitching duties in the opener with. Peter Kleinstiver behind the bat.

Haugh .:ters go to the Rodeo This weekend, the fifth annual Midwestern rodeo will be on display at Exeter Community Park and according to all reports, the old cliche, "bigger and better than ever" will certainly apply. The committee in charge of the two-day affair has gone all out to make it entertaining for both young and old. In addition to the best in rodeo and ring entertainment, topnotCh radio and television talent will be on hand for Saturday and Sunday of the Labour Day weekend. Al Cherny and Rhythm Pals, directly from the Tommy Hunter show will provide about 45 minutes of entertainment on Saturday evening and Garry Buck and his troupe, including Donna Ramsey and the Broncos from CKCO in Kitchener will perform before the grandstand Sunday afternoon. Installation of a new lighting system directly in front of the grandstand is being completed this week to allow the opening performance of the show to be held Saturday night at 8 o'clock. The grandstand has undergone considerable renovation in the past couple of weeks. New pillars have been installed at the rear of the stand and new steps have been built at each entrance to ensure com- plete safety for spectators. In addition, portable seats have been erected to the east of the permanent stand to assure seating for another 750 persons. While the usual rodeo events will be on tap, one item is being added that is expected to add con- siderable excitement to the show. Brahma bull riding will be presented during the two-day Exeter rodeo for the first time in On- tario. In addition, the spectators will be able to watch bull dogging, calf roping, bronc riding and barrel and flag racing. Secretary Dalton Finkbeiner reports a large number of entries received, especially from the United States. Advance tickets are being sold for the first time and Finkbeiner said many people have in- quired about purchasing their admission tickets ahead of time to ensure good seats. In order to provide a better show, elimination heats are being held for some events to cut the en- try list down and provide only the best in each class. Eliminations for 'the flag, barrel and pickup races will be held Saturday afternoon at 2:30 and Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. To get an idea of the popularity of shows of this kind, in 1967 537 professional rodeos paid out a total of $3,649,750 in prize money. Contestants in this weekend's Exeter show are guaranteed $2,500 in prizes and this amount will probably be increased considerably with the addition of entry fees. The Exeter rodeo is only one of five held an- nually in the province and is sanctioned by the On- tario Rodeo Association. Other approved rodeos in Ontario are held at Leamington, Oxbow, Preston and Hespeler. The latter show will be held on Labour Day and will include many of 'th'e entries that will be competing in Exeter the two previous days. Dick Roelofson is chairman of the energetic rodeo committee made up of representatives of most organizations in Exeter. Others in the group are Dr. Don Ecker, Dalton Finkbeiner, Ed Hearn, Ray Mur- ley, Murray Moore, David Frayne, Gard Baynham, Bill Smith, Fred. Darling and Winston Shapton. Special trophy buckles for five rodeo event winners have been donated by local businesses, E. L. Chaffe and Sons, Cann's Mill, Tuckey Beverages and Grand Bend Cleaners and Benjamin Men's Wear of Streetsville. SUCCESSFUL AIR SHOW If attendance means anything, the annual fly-in at Sexsmith Airport, north of Exeter, was a huge success. A total of 7 5 planes, from most parts of On- tario and several states, dropped in on the one-day event Sunday and more than 1400 spectators came by car to have a look at festivities. One of the highlights of the afternoon, appar- ently, was the parachute jumping, despite the high winds that prevailed. We spent about three hours at the popular event but missed the parachute jump- ing because about that time we were winging our way high above the countryside. Through the generosity of Ed Greb of Kansas City, Missouri, we were treated to our second flight in the air and it was a pleasant experience. Ed, who is a brother 'of Leonard Greb, owner of the farm on which Sexsmith Airport is located re- ceived a prize of five gallons of gas for being the pilot coming the farthest distance to attenC. the fly- in. Our stay in the air for more than half an hour probably used up more gasoline than Ed won. He has held a pilot's licence for more than 30 years and treated us to a bird's eye view of the entire area. Thanks 'again, Ed. HOCKEY MEETING Derry Boyle, president of the Exeter Minor Hockey Association passes along word that a general hockey meeting will be held at the Exeter Town Hall tonight, Thursday, at eight o'clock. Everyone interested in any phase of minor makey is asked to attend this first get-to-gether to plans for the 1968-69 puck season. Boyle said, "We need more help in Our or- ganization. In the past, most of the positions have been handled by only a few people, The same men are doing the work year after year. Let's give them a hand. We would be happy to haVe mothers of the young hockey players volunteer to assist in any ca- pacity." The main item of business will be to decide whether the junior Hawkwill play "B" or "C" brand of hockey in the coming season, Let Us Do It For You When you want to subscribe for anew magazine — or to reA. new' for an old orie',...there'S no need for you 'to write a latter*, buy a postal otiter and pay 05060, Drop into The tinleg-AdVo-date and We ,ii glad tit do it for you', We have a HA Of all the popular' hiatatittee and their ettb-, Stiriptien Oridet. clubs decided to wait, more than a week this Simday to, ecide. the issue,,mainly because the chances of playing a full ganle during the week are fairly slim„ Early in the Week, executive the QP4 ordered that the Win- ner Of the Dashwood-ZurichSerT ies be ready to play in wOOng- ham, Sunday afternoon in the first game of a provincial semi- final, Late Tuesday night, the two clubs were unable to agree on a date for the game, so Huron- Perth officials stepped in and ordered that the gaMe be played in Dashwood tonight, Thursday at 6.00. The winner of the semi-final between WEdsingliam and the H-.P Winner will meet Mattice, a Northern Ontario club in the provincial final. WEBB TIES IT UP A single from the bat of relief pitcher Bob Webb sent two Dash- wood Tigers scampering across the plate in the bottom (.1f the seventh inning on the Dashwood diamond, Friday to tie the score at '7-'7. At this point the game was called on account of darkness by plate umpire Bill Murphy of Mit- chell to necessitate tonight's cru- cial sudden-death contest. The Tigers scored once in the opening inning on Bill Schade's single and three Zurich errors. The score remained 1-0 and the game a real pitchers battle between Dashwood lefty Dave Ratz and Dick I3eC and of the Lumber Kings until the top of the fifth. At this point, the Zurich club broke loose with a six run out- burst and seemed well on their way to moving into the provincial playoffs. The Tigers kept pecking away, scoring once in the bottom of the fifth and added three more in the sixth to set the stage for the tying surge in the seventh. George Haggitt singled to open the Zurich rally in the fifth and scored on pitcher Bedard's triple. After two men were re- tired, Kevin McKinnon singled to send Bedard across the plate. Bob Johnston followed with a single, Don O'Brien drew a walk and Earl Wagner and Doug O'Brien cracked singles to up the Zurich run count to six. O'Brien was tossed out attempting to take an extra base on the throw to the plate to end the Zurich threat. Bob Webb took over the Dash- wood pitching duties from Ratz during the Zurich rally. A hit batsman, a walk and another Zurich miscue allowed Jim HaYter to cross the plate in the fifth with the second Dash- wood run. Phil Overholt singled to open the Zurich sixth and came around on a similar safety from the bat of Dick Bedard to produce the final Zurich tally of the game. In the Dashwood sixth, Gord Vincent and Pete Ravelle on the bases with walks came home on Bob Webb's booming tiple. Webb, also hit paydirt on Ratz's single. 2 FOR 1 is COMING Watch Sept. 5 Issue Veteran right hander Don O'Brlen took over from Starter Tieciard during the DAsii- wood sixth inning splurge.. DOUBLE SCORE In a Wednesday contest, the Dashwood Tigers kept their play., off hopes alive with a 10-5 win 0 over the Herisall Merchants. The Hensall loss? their fifth of the round robin series, pushed them into the playoff discard. Five run rallies in each of the second and third innings pro- vided the complete Dashwood run total. Doubles by Bob Hoffman and Dave Ratz along with a single by Richard Rader were the big blows in the first Tiger rally. Another single by Rader and a similar hit delivered by Gerd Vincent after three straight walks were instrumental in sending the next five Tiger runners across the plate, Robert McNaughton delivered a two run Hensall homer in the second inning to get his club on the scoreboard. Five consecutive singles by Jim Bell, Bill Shaddick, Steve. Kyle, Cam McDonald and Bob Lavery produced the final three Hensall runs in the fifth and last inning.
