Above, Community Park. supervisor Joanne Burke is shown with some S to 12 year-olds at T-A photo Meet Mitchell Friday in crucial test Tigers in contention for H-P top spot The Dashwood athletic field will be the scene of an important ball game Friday night at eight o'clock when the Dashwood Tigers and the Mitchell BP's meet in a regularly scheduled Huron-Perth league contest. A win for the Tigers in Friday's game would put them in sole possession of first place in the league standings. At the moment Mitchell is in first place with ten wins and four losses while Dashwood has nine victories and the same number of defeats. Arva is in third place with eight wins in 13 starts while the Clinton Colts are fourth with six wins and a tie, also in 13 games. Thorndale follows in fifth spot with six wins and seven losses while the cellar inning pitching distance for Exeter and was touched for a total of seven hits. Lets of hits Ken Pinder was. the winning pitcher in Sunday's 11-5 triumph over Goderich while his mates broke loose with a 17-hit attack. Jeff Davis was the top local batsman with three safeties in four official trips to the plate. Getting two hits apiece were Randy Fisher, Morley Obre, Ken Pinder, Greg Beattie, Jim Webb and Mike Dougherty, Perry Pooley and Fred Robinson each collected one hit, In the losing cause against Clinton, Wednesday 'singles by Jim Webb and Fred Robinson sent one Exeter run home in the second inning and another scored in the third on hits by Jim Gregus and Webb. The final three Exeter markers came in the fourth on two walks, an error and singles from the bats of Jeff Davis and Perry Pooley. The Exeter peewees lost two-of three Western Ontario Athletic games played over the past week to bring their season record to five wins and six losses.. Wednesday in Exeter, the locals were downed 17-5 by Clinton, Friday, also on their home diamond they downed Goderich 1.1-5 and Sunday af- ternoon in Belgraye they were edged 5-4. Sunday, f1elgrave scored two runs in the second inning and finished with a three run rally in the fifth while Exeter notched a single run in the third and came close with three more markers in the sixth. Morley Obre singled and scored on Fred Robinson's single for the first Exeter run in the third. Fred Robinson beat out a bunt to start the Exeter sixth and scored on Ken Pinder's double. Jim Webb followed with a walk and scored along with Pinder on Laurie Skinner's two-bagger. Ken Finder went the full seven dwelling St. Marys club has only a tie to show in 14 games. During the past week, the Tigers recorded a pair of vic- tories. They trounced St. Marys 14-1 on the Dashwood diamond Friday night and took a 14-8 decision in Thorndale, Monday night, Four hits produced only one Dashwood run in the fifth when several runners were cut down. Jim Hayter opened the inning with a double and promptly scored on a similar hit from the bat of Bob Hoffman. Hoffman was then picked off second. Pete Ravelle and Stan Lovie followed with singles but Ravelle was thrown out at the plate on Whitey Denomme's grounder to end the inning, Dave Ratz doubled and scored on Bob Hoffman's single for the fifth Dashwood run in the sixth. In the seventh, five hits, all singles from the bats of Dave Ratz, Bud Desjardine, Whitey Denomme, Stan Lovie and Jim Hayter accounted for a five run splurge. The eighth inning saw a slight change with four hits sending five — Please turn to Page 7 Bantams win exhibition, lose in regular action Stars down Lieury club The Exeter bantams thumped Seaforth 26-4 Wednesday night in an exhibition game and suc- cumbed to Crediton by 12-8 Sunday in regular Western Ontario Athletic Association play. Brian Taylor with six hits in the same number of trips to the plate led the Exeter batting attack in the win over Seaforth. Next in line with three hits apiece were Kevin Windsor and Pool splashes With all summer sporting activities well underway we are very safe in saying that more district youngsters have an opportunity to partake of various recreation activities than they ever had. Right in Exeter, the swimming program at the Exeter and district pool has been broken into two sections for the second year giving every youngster a full opportunity to participate. The divided program gives boys and girls going on holidays with parents a chance to pick their spot for swimming lessons. At Victoria Park, the five to seven year-olds are enjoying an active playground program with. the wading pool being the big drawing card. A chlorinator has been installed at the pool making it a safe, healthy spot for the youngest boys and girls to enjoy. The softball and baseball programs throughout the district are also more ambitious than ever. Locally, the Exeter minor ball association has pee wee, bantam and midget clubs entered in the WOAA along with a pee wee house league operating every Saturday morning at Exeter Community Park. In Crediton, it's the same story with WOAA representation in pee wee, bantam and midget baseball ranks, Dashwood also has an ambitious baseball set-up with three minor clubs in addition to the intermediate Tigers using the newly renovated Dashwood athletic field. A new clubhouse with dressing rooms and wash rooms is just being completed. It was partly financed by the incentive works program of Stephen township. Proceeds from last week's successful Friedsburg Days will pour more than $2,000 into the athletic field improvement project. Two weeks ago, softball parks at Kirkton and Lieury received financial aid from the provincial government for improvements to their parks. At Kirkton, the minister of Agriculture, the Hon. W. A. Stewart officially opened the new lighted park. Only weeks before that time a grant was received for the installation of the floodlights. The McGillivray township park at Lieury has undergone an extensive face lifting with a new lighting system and new entrance to name only a few of the changes. Lighted ball fields are also in operation at Hensall and Lucan in addition to Huron Park giving a lot of athletes of all ages an opportunity to engage in their favorite summer pastime. At Hensall, that village has an entry in the Exeter and district Rec softball league and the Brucefield Bombers also use the diamond for Huron ladies softball play. Quite a change What a difference a year or two makes: That statement can certainly be applied to the current situation of Washington Senator pitcher Denny McLain. Back in 1968 when the Detroit Tigers won the American League pennant and went on to edge the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series, McLain won 30 games during the regular season. Now with the Senators it would not be stretching the imagination too far to suggest McLain could become infamous this year by losing the same number of games (30). A cooling spot If the hot weather continues for the next couple of weeks we know of a spot where area residents could cool off for a few minutes and enjoy some sports action. The Canadian hockey and sport training camp opens at the Huron Park arena, Monday morning of next week. This year the camp will be of three weeks duration and will conclude on Saturday, August 7. In. addition to full instruction in hockey fundamentals, teaching is being provided in power skating, baseball and soccer. Paul Roach, now a scout with the Buffalo Sabres of the National hockey league is the director of the camp and a full list of qualified and knowledgeable hockey coaches will be on hand to assist with the instruction. Included on the coaching staff is Ron Mason, varsity hockey coach at Lake Superior State College at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. This is the university where Dashwood native Jim Hayter spent the last term. Mason is well known in this area as he spent his junior playing days at Seaforth. Others teaching will be Bill Hayward, the power skating specialist of the Toronto Maple Leafs; Evans Tannis, soccer coach at St. Michael's in Toronto; Jack Costello, St. Clair College, Windsor and Brian Gilmour from McGill University in Montreal. Danny Brintnell while John. Wuerth, Dan McIver and Dan Crerar chipped in with a pair of safeties each. Getting one hit were Noel Skinner, Bill Baker, and Dave Lovell. Dan, Crerar was the starting pitcher for Exeter with John Wuerth taking over in relief in the third frame. The majority of scoring in the game against Crediton took place in' the early innings. Exeter scored two runs in each of the first and third frames and added four more in the fourth. Crediton replied with three runs in the first frame, added a half dozen in the second and notched single markers in the third, fourth and sixth. A double by Bill Baker and Kevin, Windsor's single scored the first two Exeter runs while Baker and Bill Wilson singled to score two more Exeter markers in the fourth. Hits by Kevin Windsor, John Wuerth, Bill Wilson and Dan McIver sent the final four Exeter runs home in the fourth. Pitcher Larry Clarke's home run was the big blow of the three- run Crediton first. Others hitting safely were Keith Davey and Ron Bowers. Ron Smith„ Roger Finkbeiner and Keith Davey hit safely during the six run Crediton uprising in the second inning. Clarke was the winning pitcher for Crediton while Dan r Crerar and John Wuerth shared hurling duties for Exeter. By DONNA DOIDGE The confusion of the first week of lessons is over and we have settled down into a busy routine of water work. The children have three weeks of lessons left as their examination date is August 2. On Tuesday of this week it was very cold and miserable early in the morning. The younger children were not put into the water because they chill so easily. Their lessons were held in the dressing rooms learning water safety. Mothers are asked to remind their children to wear their shoes to the pool as we have taken two children to the hospital this week with large cuts on their feet. They received medical care and consequently will miss water exercises for a week. Adult lessons are progressing very fast and very well. The adult swimming hour on Tuesday and Thursday will cease after this week if participation does not increase. Same style Against Thorndale, Monday night, the Tigers used their patented come-from-behind pattern to gain a 14-8 win. Thorndale opened with a five run rally in the first inning and the Tigers were in their usual position. This time it didn't take them long to recover as they tied the score in their half of the second inning and broke loose with a six run rally in the fourth to go ahead to stay, John Hayter's double and singles from the bats of Gord Vincent, Dave Ratz, Pete Ravelle and Gary Hartman sent the first five Dashwood runners across the plate. In the fourth it was again a double and four singles that produced the Dashwood scoring power. Pete Ravelle rapped the two-bagger while John Hayter, Bob Hoffman, Gord Vincent and Gary Hartman connected for the singles. The final three Dashwood runs in the sixth were accomplished on John Hayter's single along with a couple of Thorndale errors and a pair of walks. Gary Hartman, up from the Dashwood juveniles got two hits in three tries in his first in- termediate start. Bob Webb went the distance on the mound for the Tigers and picked up his sixth consecutive pitching win without a loss. Webb gave up only seven hits over the nine inning route and was in trouble only in the first and seventh frames when all the Thorndale scoring took place. Webb chalked up 11 strikeouts to run his season total to 51, the best fanning record in the league. Easy win Lefty Dave Ratz had an easy time in picking up his first win of the season for the Tigers as he held St. Marys to only seven hits as Dashwood won 14-1. Ratz was particularly effective in the first two innings when the first batter reached base safely and he was able to get the next three batters in order. The Tiger hitting attack which reached 18 hits, didn't really break out until the third inning when they scored three times, Pete Ravelle's two-out homer with Bob Hoffman and Gord Vincent aboard took care of the third inning counting. The Exeter all-stars broke loose with plenty of hitting power as they swamped Lieury 15-2 in an exhibition softball game at the Exeter diamond, Sunday night. This was the second of a two game series, Lieury winning 7-3 in Dashwood last week. The two clubs will be back at it on Saturday night, July 24 at 9 p.m. at the McGillivray township park at Lieury. The combination of long ball hitting and the effective pitching of Jim Johnston and Don Pickering contributed to the Exeter win. Johnston went the first four innings and gave up one run and four hits, all coining in the first inning. Pickering finished up and faced only 16 batters in five innings. The only Lieury player to reach base against the offerings of Pickering was Gary Leger who was on an error and scored on another wild throw in the ninth. The Exeter club scored 15 runs on the same number of hits off usually hard throwing Bob Robinson. The local all-stars scored seven times in the seventh inning to ensure victory. Jim Russell and Doug McArthur each slammed long home runs during the big rally. Other hits in the Exeter seventh were doubles by Don Pickering, Jim Pfaff and Baynham and a single from the bat of Bill Farquhar. Four Exeter runs came across the plate in the third with Jack Glover's triple, Barry Baynham's double and singles by Rick Schilbe and Gerry Finnen doing the damage.

Paul McKnight is the president with Richard Ottewell handling the combined duties of secretary- treasurer, A tournament committee in. eludes Ian Johnston, John Vriese and Jim Hearn.
