FOR ..SPORTS
By ,Ross 11.4,V9h,
Off to
DetrQit
Last week in this column we reported ordering
World Series tickets for the games in Detroit and were
keeping our fingers crossed in hopes of getting to at
least one game,
At the time of this writing, our tickets have not
arrived as yet, but We still have good news,.
Late Saturday afternoon while attending the 50th
reunion of the FirSt World War Veterans of litiron
County at the Legion Hall in town we received a call
from home that a telegram was waiting in London for
us,
A quick trip to the office and an equally quick
call to CN in London confirmed our hopes that it was
Detroit. The telegram said it was confirming our request
for press privileges at the series and we should pick up
our credentials for the three games sometime on Friday.
This was in answer to a letter OUT good editor
wrote to the public relations department of the Tigers
Asking for consideration for a representative from this
newspaper.
Needless to say this was exceptionally good news
and we could hardly wait until the telegram arrived at
the local poet office Monday morning confirming the
phone call.
We do not know the exact nature of the privileges
that can be expected in Detroit but hope it would be for
the duration of the series there.
It will mean not only having the opportunity to
see a World Series in person, a chance that not too many
people in this part of the country have in a lifetime but
to mingle with reporters from all over the United States,
some that are close to the big league ball scene.
Our telegram was signed by Watson Spoelstra of
Detroit who happens to be one of our favorite baseball
writers. Watson is president of the Baseball Writers of
America and a regular columnist in the Sporting News,
which is referred to as baseball's "bible."
Good year for Fergie
While rabid ball fans in this district are thrilled
with the Tiger success and the contribution made by
Canada's own John Hiller, we should not forget the
accomplishments of another Canadian.
Chatham's Fergie Jenkins won his 20th game of
the season on Saturday to complete his second
successive appearance in the charmed circle. Fergie is
one of the main reasons, Leo Durocher's Cubs were able
to finish in third place, their highest final placing in
many a year.
We are sure that if Jenkins was tossing for several
other clubs in either league he could also become a 30
game winner. He came within one of striking out the
most NL batters in the just concluded 1968 season.
Willie is official
From now on, it's just plain Willie Horton.
The betroit Tiger power hitter has gone through
the official court channels to have his name changed
from William Wattison Horton.
"Everything I have is under Willie Horton," he
explained. My regular name is a good one, but I'd rather
be just Willie. There is another William Wattison Horton
and he's had some traffic tickets. I don't like that. I've
never had a ticket in my life."
Big business
While participating in a World Series is important
to a ball club it is just as important to the economy of
the cities in which the fall classic is played.
This year's World Series is expected to generate
an estimated $3,500,000 with a regular home
attendance a little over the two million mark, While not
knowing anything of the financial situation in Detroit,
we would think their profit this year should be just as
great as in St. Louis.
A good crowd for Sunday's final game put the
year's Tiger attendance up to 2,031,847. We would
expect the Detroit payroll this year would not be near
as high as the Cardinals, who are reigning world champs.
But wait until next year when contract time comes
around. Who doesn't deserve a substantial raise?
A versatile performer
The South Huron senior Panthers have scored more than 60 points
in their first two starts in Huron-Perth Conference pre-season and
regular play. Quarterback Scott Burton has been doing the passing
and a good amount of the punting. Above, Burton is shown getting
away a good boot. T-A photo

will be playing a 30-game
schedule.
At a meeting of the Exeter
Minor Hockey Association a
week ago, the executive voted to
move up to "C" play this year
but were not assured by the
OHA that they would have a
league with all "C" clubs.
Manager Bob Baynham, coach
Terry Bourne and arena manager
Alvin Willert represented the
local club at Monday's meeting
at which time the other six clubs
took a vote and allowed the
Hawks entry to their loop.
OHA executive member Hugh
McLean of Burlington was in
charge of the meeting and drew
up the first half of the schedule.
One of the conditions set
forth by the other clubs to allow
an Exeter entry waS that all
Hawk games be played on the
weekends and this has been
complied with.
The first regular league action
will see the Hawks in Elmira on
November 3 for a Sunday
afternoon contest and the same
two clubs will be back on Exeter
ice the following Friday night.
Six of the seven clubs will be
eligible for playoff competition
leading to OHA provincial
play downs.

A last minute rally in the
fifth and final game of the
Exeter and district Rec softball
league semi-final series, Tuesday
gave the BA's a 5-4 victory over
the Kinsmen and the right to
meet the Exeter Legion in the
league final.
With the series tied at a game
apiece a week ago, the BA's eked
out a 6-5 win, Wednesday and
the Kin came back with a 3.1
decision, Sunday evening to set
up the crucial tilt for Tuesday
night.
The first game of the
best-of-seven league final was
played at Exeter Community
Park last night, Wednesday.
Further games in the series are
expected to be played later in
the week.
COACH COMES THROUGH
Playing coach John Snell
smashed a bases loaded single in
the bottom of the sixth to break
a 4-4 tie and send his club into
the league finals, Tuesday.
The Kin club took a three run
lead in the' second inning on
singles by Don Bell and Lyle
Little and a bases clearing homer
from the bat of Bill Fisher.
A pair of walks and a single
by George Pratt produced
another Km run in the top of
the third.
The BA's fought back and cut
the Kinsmen margin to two runs
in the bottom of the same frame
on Snell's single and Bill
Fairbairn's round tripper.
Pitcher Doug Kennedy
doubled in the fourth and scored
on Pete Lawson's single to send
a single BA run across the plate
and leave the Kinsmen in front
4-3.
The score remained the same
until the winning BA rally in the
sixth. With two out, Scott
Burton, Kennedy and Lawson
singled to set the stage for
Snell's game winning blow.
Doug Kennedy was the
winning pitcher and set the
Kinsmen down in order in the
last four innings and recorded a
total of 10 strikeouts.
Don Bell on the hill for the
losers picked up three strikeouts
and was in control of the
situation until the BA's broke
loose in the sixth.
LATE RALLY FAILS
In Sunday's 3-1 Kinsmen win,
the BA's also rallied in the late
innings but left a couple of
runners stranded in the bottom
of the seventh after scoring their
only run of the game.
The Kinsmen posted single
runs in the second, fourth and
fifth innings to post their
victory. Bob Russells single, a
walk and a BA error sent the
Mat Kin run home.
A couple of errors in the
fourth allowed Gerry Finnen,
who was an injury replacement
from the Legion club, to
complete the bases cycle.
Bill Fisher's single and a
double from the bat of Bob
Russell completed the Kinsmen
scoring in the fifth.
On the gro,Phd, Harter,
Fairhairrl, Prout, Burton and
Barry Baynham, picked up 1$7
yards in 25 carries and the
opposition gained only .64 yards
rushing.
pstowel gained 70 yards
through penalties assessed to the
Panthers and lost poly 25 on
fouls of their owp.
The 6-0 South HurPri junior
win over Clinton was
accomplished on the first play of
the game.
Brian Campbell took the
opening kickoff on his own 45
yard line and galloped the rest of
the way to the Clinton goal line
to account for the complete
scoring in the game.
South Httron's Randy Decker
counted another touchdown
later but it was nullified by a
clipping call against the junior
Panthers.
Campbell and Brian Bestard
were outstanding on offence for
the locals while Paul Passrnore
was tough on the defence.

seven inning route and allowed
only five base runners. In the

racked up eight strikeouts.
A CLOSE CONTEST
The third game of the series,
Wednesday taken by the BA's
6-5 was a close contest all the
way with the outcome in doubt
right to the final out.
The Kinsmen had runners
on second and third in the
seventh and only a great running
catch by shortstop Terry Bourne
on Lyle Little's looping fly to
short right centre saved the game
for the BA's.
The BA's were in front 3-0
after three innings of play. Bill
Fairbairn singled in the first and
came home on Terry Bourne's
ground rule double.
The same two combined in
the third to up the BA lead to
3.0. Fairbairn reached first on a
fielder's choice and came home
on Bourne's long blast over the
left field fence.
