Dashwood club gets even split, go to Stratford for exhibition The Dashwood Tigers gained an even split in their only two Huron-.Perth Intermediate baseball league starts during the past week. The Tigers absorbed a 5-3 defeat at the hands of the Clinton Colts in Clinton, Wednesday night and bounced back Saturday night on their home diamond to edge the Mitchell BP's 4.3 in ten innings of play. The weatherman was the big winner in the Exeter and district Rec softball league last week, cancelling six of the eight scheduled contests. In the only league action, Grand Bend swamped Custom Trailers 14-5 and the Junior Hawks dumped the Crediton Tigers by a 12-3 count, QUICK START Grand Bend got off to a flying start in their 14-5 win over Custom Trailers Thursday night by scoring at least two runs in each of the first five innings. Customs scored twice in each of the first and fourth frames and added their final tally in the seventh. The Bend club's two runs in the first frame came as the result of two walks and Bill Bishop's double. Their big run producing rally came in the second with five scores on singles by Gord Vincent, Dan Dalton and Dick Coulter and Stan Lovie's long home run, Singles by Gad Vincent and Doug Courtney sent two more Grand Bend runners home in the third. Bill Bowden's double along with a couple of free passes sent the Grand Bend run total to eleven in the fourth stanza. Grand Bend completed their scoring in the fifth with a three run outburst. Stan Lovie's triple and single contributed by Bill Bowden, Paul Greenwood and Dick Coulter provided the final scoring punch. Singles by Rick MacDonald and Tom Dalrymple along with a Grand Bend error gave Customs their firt two runs in the opening inning. Doug Dalrymple's single, a walk to Fred Wells and a double front the bat of Ross Mathers produced two runs in the fourth. In the seventh, Brian Hogg singled and came around to score on Flick MacDonald's double for the final Custom run in the last inning. T1-11tEE1-10MtRS Three home runs helped the Hawks to their 124 win over the Crediton Tigers, Thursday night. Greg Revington homered with The Dashwood club now has a season record of six wins and five losses good for third place in the league standings. Thorndale is out in front in' first place, the Clinton Colts are in second while the Mitchell BP's trail in the basement. The other club that started the season, the Hensall Merchants folded a couple of weeks ago without getting any victories. Bill Farquhar and Barry Bay nham on base in the first inning to give the Hawks a quick three run lead. Crediton tied the game temporarily in the third frame with three straight singles and the help of four Hawk fielding miscues. The Crediton hits were banged out by Fred Brock, Gord Slaght and Hawk coach Lorne Haugh who filled out the Crediton line-up for the first three innings. The Hawks broke loose with a four run outburst in the second with round trippers from the bats of Bill Farquhar and Barry Baynham being mainly responsible. Other hits during the rally were singles by Pete Lawson and Jim Bender and a double by Bill Bourne. The final five Hawk runs came in the bottom of the sixth inning. Singles went to Larry Haugh, Bill Farquhar and Barry Baynham. Lefty Jim Bender went the distance on the mound to pick up the pitching win while Bob Hodgins was the losing hurler for Crediton. Thorndale was in Dashwood last night Wednesday for a regularly scheduled game, the Tigers will be hosting the Clinton Colts under the lights in Dashwood tomorrow night, Friday at eight o'clock. The Dashwood club is all set to travel to Stratford Sunday afternoon for a two o'clock exhibition game with the Stratford juniors of which former Tiger pitching star Bob Webb is a member. The re turn game is slated for Dashwood later in the year. Two previous attempts to play the game were stymied by rainy weather. WIN IN TENTH John Hayter's second single of the night with the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the tenth gave the Tigers their 4-3 win over the Mitchell BP's, Saturday night on the Dashwood diamond. Mitchell scored once in each of the first and second innings and the Tigers tied things up with a two run outburst in the bottom of the third.

Various junior and senior games are scheduled in addition to the steer riding that is open to boys and girls twelve years of age and und er. Anyone with some spare time Friday night could do a lot worse than take a drive up to Hensall and enjoy the western horse show activities. Members of the sponsoring group put a lot of time and effort into providing an interesting and exciting show for all ages. See you at the show, Friday night. Saturday afternoon the Zurich Agricultural Society presents its 12th annual horse show at Zurich Community Park. On the program will be events for heavy and light horses, pony and saddle classes and a western horse show. Early Puck Start The summer was very short for some minor hockey players in the area. The Canada sport training camp and hockey school opened at the Randall arena at Huron Park, Monday morning with more than forty boys in attendance. The supervisor of the school is Paul Roach who is also chief college scout for the new Buffalo Sabre entry in the National hockey league. Most of the instructors are back from last year including Seaforth native Ron Mason who is varsity coach at Michigan State, Brian Gilmour of McGill and soccer coach Evans Tannis of St. Mike's in Toronto. Newcomers to the coaching staff are Jacques Martin of the Ottawa 67's and Colin Robertson of the University of Windsor. There are still a few openings in the school for the next three weeks and local boys would be more than welcome. Roach told us Monday morning that the response to season ticket sales in Buffalo is terrific to date. More than 7,000 red and blue seats have been sold and the people don't even know exactly where they will be sitting. Tall Tales Every once in a while we hear of some pretty fancy stories about fishing and hunting experiences, but they will have to be "far out" to compare with one we found in a copy of the Exeter Reflector dated November 21, 1878. Parts of the paper of that issue were given to us by Mrs. Nelson Schenk of Creditors. They were found last week when the old barber shop in Crediton was torn down. - The story is'contained in a letter to the editor and goes as follows: "I see an account in a recent Exeter paper of what I presume is considered to be wonderful shooting, that of dropping a crane at 160 yards on the wing. Why, that is nothing to what we do down here. I'll just relate to you what came under my notice a few days ago and this we only consider ordinary shooting. A man named Langley, who went to St. Mary's Bay goose hunting, seeing a moose on the opposite shore, fired, and at the same moment a porpoise leaped from the water and the bullet killed both it and the moose. • The porpoise floated to shore and the hunter used it as a raft to paddle across to the moose. There he found that the bullet after killing the moose had gone into a hollow tree in which was a store of wild honey, which was flowing through the hole made by the bullet. Reaching for what he thought was a stick, to plug up the hole, he caught a rabbit by the leg. Rather startled, he threw it violently from him and struck a covey of eighteen partridge, killing all of them. Now, beat that, Exeter nimrod." The letter proves there were not only excellent hunters but fairly good story tellers back in 1878. If any one in this day and age can beat that, we would be glad to hear from them. A Good Show Due to the rains of early Sunday afternoon we were confined to the living room for a little while and were fortunate in catching a good sports program on CKCO TV in Kitchener. The full half hour on Bill Inkol's Sports Roundup was spent on coaching tips for minor baseball players. Bob McKillop a former manager of the Kitchener-Waterloo Panthers of the Senior Intercounty baseball league with six years pro experience was out on the field with some members of the Panthers and the University of Waterloo baseball team. Catching tips were given along with a showing of the proper equipment for backstops. The proper ways to execute the pivot on double plays by second basemen and shortstops were shown along with some batting hints. A similar program will be on the Kitchener station again next Sunday at 1:30 in the afternoon with the emphasis on other aspects of the game of baseball. It is well worth watching. Also, Saturday, the Exeter Saddle Club is presenting their monthly show at Exeter Community Park with performances both afternoon and evening. The afternoon show that gets underway at three o'clock will specialize in junior events while the evening session is devoted to senior riders. This show also contains a full list of western games and performance classes with a variety of entertainment, 111111111 . ATM NEVER Assume the public knows as much about your business as you do.

The children really enjoyed listening to the two guests and having their questions answered. The remainder of the week and early this week was spent practicing for the Lake Huron Zone Playground Day which was held here yesterday, July 22, Any children who wish to join the playground program may come up to Exeter Community Park anytime and they will be more than welcome. Spread prizes for lawn bowlers The bi-weekly jitneys held by the Exeter lawn bowling club over the past week produced good competition with eight different performers sharing in the prize awards. Tuesday night, Gordon Hoggarth came up with the best record of two wins, a plus of 20 and aggregate of 32. In second spot came Russ Snell with the same number of wins, a plus of 17 and aggregate of 29. Close behind in third place was Mabel McKnight with a plus of 16 and aggregate of 23 to go with a double victory. Harold Simpson placed fourth. Edna Caldwell grabbed off first prize Saturday night on the strength of two wins, a plus of 13 and aggregate of 24. In the runner-up spot came Bill Etherington with one point less in each of the plus and aggregate departments. Wellington Brock finished third with two wins, a plus of 9 and aggregate of 25. Stella Taylor was the top one game winner and placed fourth. like it could be the winning run in the last half of the eighth but Mitchell were able to get the equalizer in their half of the ninth with a little generous fielding from the Tigers. Robinson scored the Mitchell — Please turn to page 14 FOR ALL GOOD SPORTS f By Ross Haugh By 410ANNE BURKE Good weather is said to be one of the main generators of activities and fun, but this certainly doesn't hold true for Exeter's summer playground program. Throughout the past weeks of continuous rain, the spirits of our boys and girls are still high and, their voices and games prove it. If you hear a series of yells and laughter it is only us as we sing — team against team, struggling with our voices, good and bad to see who can sing the most verses of "Out the Window" or as we play numerous rounds of Red Rover or take a picnic lunch to Riverview Park or on to Morrison Dam. Rain simply doesn't seem to get children down as it does most adults. In fact, I haven't yet heard one child complain about the bad weather, They can have fun, no matter what. What can't be played outdoors, they manage to play inside tile arena, although sometimes it gets pretty deafening with the rain pounding on the tin roof and forty or more voices echoing at once inside. Such games as baseball, archball rounders, many varieties of tag, French and English and lots more occupy many a wet da Crafts are also held in the arena which provides a flat, windless. area tO work in. Last Wednesday., we held .a bike and trite rodeo with approximately sixty bikes entered and the results were as follows; Group 1 — Steve Willert, Dave Bogart and Mike Brintnell. Group 2 — Joan Skinner, Steve Wells and Stuart Rogers. Group 3 — David Bell, Mike Orenchuk and Robbie Rogers.
