FOR ALL. GOOD SPORTS
By Ross Haugh
Bigger
and better
Plans are being quickly finalized for a bigger and
better Mid-Western Ontario Rodeo to be held at Exeter
Community Park on Labour Day weekend.
For the first time in the six year history of the
popular cowboy event, three full shows will be
provided, The first show goes on at two o'clock on
Saturday afternoon August 30 with an evening
performance at seven o'clock. The final performance
will be Sunday afternoon, also at two o'clock.
Officials have gone all out to provide the
spectators with top notch entertainment and have added
several specialties. At the actual rodeo show three
events will be seen for the first time.
They are little britches steer riding, pony team
chariot races and amateur bare back bronc riding. The
little britches calf riding was first introduced in the area
at the Hensall Frontier Days weekend and proved very
popular.
The pony chariot races are a regular feature at the
twice-a-month pony race meets at Exeter Community
Park sponsored by the Huron County Pony Trotting
club.
Local contestants are needed for the little
britches steer riding. The event is open to boys 14 years
of age and under and to girls who are 15 or under.
Entries are to be forwarded to Dalton Finkbeiner. Only
the first 30 entries will be accepted.
Every boy or girl that wishes to compete must
have their parents' consent and must wear a hard hat
while in actual competition. Bob Baker and Lloyd
Mousseau of the Hensall Western Horsemen will be
assisting in the operation of this event.
The amateur bare back bronc riding competition
is open only to members of the Exeter, Woodstock,
West Lorne, Thamesford, Ilderton and Dorchester
Saddle or Riding clubs.
Last year's rodeo chairman Dick Roelofson is in
charge of the beauty contest that is being staged for the
first time in connection with the rodeo.
Another first, a parade through the streets of
Exeter is set for 12 o'clock noon on the Saturday. The
parade will start from the car lot of Larry Snider Motors
at the south end. Anyone wishing to participate in the
parade is asked to contact Fred Darling.
The three shows will include regular rodeo events
such as brahma bull riding, bulldogging, wild cow
milking, bronc riding and flag, barrel and pickup races.
Professional rodeo clowns will also be in attendance to
thrill the spectators with their daring antics among the
bulls and wild cows.
Chairman Bill Smith advises that aditional seats
will be available and the lighting system is being
improved for the night show. Fans won't have to worry
about losing their seat in the grandstand if they leave at
intermission to obtain refreshments. They will be given
ticket stubs to get back to their proper seat.
Won't Be Hungry
The appetites of all the spectators and contestants
will also be assured by various booths and special food
sales. The Kinsmen, Lions, Legion and Teen Town will
be handling the regular hot dog and soft drink
concessions.
A good old-fashioned cow-poke breakfast
featuring pancakes will be provided by members of the
Exeter Saddle club. Later in the day barbecue beef,
chicken and baked beans will also be available.
The Exeter curling club will handle the sale of
chicken, the Hensall Western Horsemen will be selling
their delicious barbecued beef and the famous Zurich
baked beans will be on sale at another outlet.
Ross Dobson and his roofing firm are building a
frontier street in the infield area.
Trophy buckles will go to the top point riders of
the shows and they are being presented by A & K
Service Centre, Cann's Mills, Tuckey Beverages, Grand
Bend Cleaners and Huron Motors. Another top rider will
receive an appliance from Sunbeam Appliances of
London.
Successful Tourney
We would like to pass on our congratulations to
the executive of the South Huron Fastball Association
on the excellent way In which they conducted their
recent tournament here.
While we were on holidays and out of town when
the event was held on Civic Holiday we have heard
many complimentary remarks on the well-run
tournament.
The Exeter All-Stars who won the consolation
championship have received invitations to three
tournaments of a similar nature to be held on Labour
Day.
The local team will have to decide whether to
compete in Strathroy, Goderich or St. Thomas.

"A codfish lays ten thousand
eggs. The humble hen lays one.
But the codfish never cackles to
tell you what she's done. And so
we scorn the codfish while the
humble hen we prize. Which
simply goes to show you that it pays to advertise,"
the Legion at Grand Bend and
Huron Park meeting the
ex-Kinsmen at Exeter
Community Park.
In games over the past week,
Grand Bend won twice to move
into league contention. The
Benders downed the Kinsmen

Huron Park 22-2 Monday night.
The other contest saw Snell's

HOMERS HELP
The home run ball was a big
factor in Snell Shell's 13-1 win
over the Kinsmen, Monday.
Left fielder Bob Blackburn
drilled two home run shots, both
with two runners aboard and
Barry Baynhain and Bill Bourne
each collected a single round
tripper.

some help from captain Dave
The Exeter Greys took one
step closer to the Huron Ladies'
softball league finals Tuesday
night with an 18-5 win over
Shakespeare in New Hamburg.
The Greys now lead the
best-of-five series two games to
one with the fourth contest set
for Exeter Community Park,
Friday night at 9 o'clock.
In the first game of the series,
the Greys took a 12-6 victory
and then they fell apart at the
seams on their home diamond
Friday night and suffered a 29-1
defeat.
GET EARLY LEAD
In New Hamburg, Tuesday
night the Greys jumped out in
front with a three run rally in
the first inning and were never
headed as they repeated their
initial performance in the third,
fourth and sixth innings.
The locals also added a pair
of runs in each of the fifth,
seventh and eighth frames as
they were only kept off the
score sheet on two occasions.
Ann Jorgenson and Joan
Campbell each blasted out
triples for the longest hits of the
night for the Greys.
Jorgenson and Pam
Vanderweil each crossed the
plate four times to lead the
Exeter run scoring. Donna
Bourne scored three times while
Lynn Farquhar, Sheila Willert
and Marie Tieman each
completed the base cycle twice.
The other Exeter marker was
notched by Pat Down.
Marie Tieman went the
distance on the mound for the
Greys and was in complete
control of the situation.
WIN FIRST TILT
A four run rally in the third
inning and another three run
outburst in the next frame gave
the Greys enough power to carry
on to a 12-6 win over
Shakespeare in the first game of
the semi-final series.
The Shakespeare gals had
scored once in their first time at
bat, added two in the sixth and
finalized their game scoring with
a trio of markers in the seventh.
The Greys made sure of the
victory with three runs in the
eighth and added two more in
the top of the ninth.
Joan Campbell put the Greys
on the scoreboard for the first
time with a lead-off home run in
the third. After one was out,
Ann Jorgenson singled, Jayne
Broderick and Lynn Farquhar
each drew a base on balls and
Pam Vanderweil slashed out a
single to score three more runs.
Coin decides
bowl winner
A flip of a coin was necessary
to decide the winner in the
regular Tuesday night jitney of
the Exeter lawn bowling club
held at the local greens.
Ivan Hirtzel was declared the
winner after compiling two wins,
a plus of 10 and aggregate of 26,
the same score registered by
Howard Ince.
In third spot came Bill
Etherington with a similar two
win record, a plus of 7 and
aggregate of 23. Placing fourth
with a plus of 5 and aggregate of
19 was Clarence Down.
Saturday night's play was
postponed due to the rainy
weather.
All male members of the local
club are getting in as much
practice time as possible in
preparation for next
Wednesday's open men's pairs
tournament that will be held
here.
Rats in the fifth inning,
Dashwood scored the first
win by a score of 13.5 last
Tuesday, took 13-8 and 20-3
decisions on Thursday and
Friday nights, respectively and
wrapped up the pennant with a
10-4 Sunday afternoon. All
games were played on the
Dashwood diamond to take
advantage of the newly installed
lighting system.
FOUR TOP HITTERS
In the entire four game series,
the Tiger hitting barrage was led
by Bill Schade, Bob Hoffman,
Pete Ravelle and Stan Lovie.
In the fourth, the long ball
again paid off for the Greys.
Patti Robinson started the
inning with a single, Joan
Campbell drew a free ticket to
first and Sheila Willert poled a
bases cleaning round-tripper.
It was a similar story in the
eighth when Campbell reached
first on an error and Willert
drilled a double to set the stage
for Ann Jorgenson's home run.
The final Exeter runs in the
ninth came as the result of a
double by Vanderweil and
singles from the bats of
Farquhar and Robinson.
Marie Tieman went the
distance on the mound for the
Greys and although she allowed
a total of 13 hits was tough with
runners on base and was able to
get the third out without too
much trouble.
VERY FEW HITS
The Grey bats were silent for
the first time in many weeks in
the second game of the series
that was taken by Shakespeare
29-1.
The only run for the Exeter
girls came in their second trip to
the plate. Pat Down doubled to
open the second, moved to third
on Pam Vanderweil's single and
scored on another double from
the bat of Jayne Broderick.
Schade was the top Tiger in a
batting way with three home
runs, one in each of the first
three games to go along with five
doubles and three singles for a
total of eleven hits.
Bob Hoffman was next in line
with a pair of triples, two
doubles and four singles to make
a hit total of nine.
Stan Lovie also collected nine
hits, all of the single variety but
one. Pete Ravelle matched
Schade's home run production
with three and added four
singles.
Veteran right hander Robert
"Eppie" Wein was the winner of
the second game after Dave Ratz
had notched the opening win
and youthful Bob Webb won the
third contest.
ONE RALLY ENOUGH
The Tigers scored five times
in the fourth inning Sunday and
it was enough to carry them to
their final 10-4 win over the
Lumber Kings.
The big blows were doubles
by Bob Hoffman and Pete
Ravelle and singles from the bats
of Whitey Denomme and Stan
Lovie. Gord Vincent doubled
and Ravelle and Richard Rader
singled to account for three
Dashwood runs in the sixth.
Bill Schade doubled and
Lovie singled to send the Tiger
count to nine in the seventh and
John Hayter scored the final
marker in the eighth.
Zurich scored twice in the
third with a double b3r Don
O'Brien and Doug O'Brien's
single being the big blows.
The final Lumber King runs
came in the fifth as the result of
a walk, hit batsman and singles
delivered by Don O'Brien and
Larry Bedard.
Ratz came in to relieve starter.
Schade with no one out in the
fourth and allowed only two hits
the rest of the way while striking
out 10.
LOTS OF HITS
The Tiger bats boomed for a
total of 17 hits in the third game
20-3 romp over the Kings with
an eight run rally in the seventh
doing most of the damage.
Bob Hoffman and Stan Lovie
led the batting parade. Hoffman
had a triple and two singles
while Lovie contributed a
two-bagger and a pair of
one-base blows.
Gord Vincent, Schade and
Ravelle were close behind with
two hits apiece, The latter two
Tigers each had a home run to
theircredit.

the series by a score of 13-8,

Robert "Eppie" Wein struck out
an even dozen Zurich batters,
while giving up nine hits over the
full nine inning route.
Crediton club
drops first
The Crediton pee wees on a
five game winning streak ran
into a snag in the first game of
the Western Ontario Athletic
Association "D" finals.
Travelling to Cargill, Monday
night the Crediton youngsters
were on the short end of a 7-2
score in a game that was called
after the top half of the sixth
inning because of darkness.
The second game of the
best-of-three series was played in
Crediton last night, Wednesday.
If a third game is necessary, it
will be played in Cargill,
probably Friday or Saturday.
The home Cargill club scored
five times in the second inning
to assure their victory.
Crediton scored their first run
in the second inning when Kevin
Bestard reached first on an error
and was able to make the bases
cycle without the help of a- hit
from his team-mates.
Three consecutive singles,
from the bats of Larry Clarke,
Kevin Bestard and Perry
Preszcator produced the final
Crediton marker in the top of
the sixth.
Jeff Jensen started on the
mound for Crediton and was
relieved by Mike Desjardine in
the third frame.
