Second games will be played tonight, Thursday with the Hawks and Kinsmen meeting on the Exeter diamond and the Legion travelling to Hensall. Two runs in the seventh and final inning allowed the Hawks to chalk up their opening 4-2 win over the Kinsmen. The game was a pitchers battle from start to finish. Brian Hodgins who picked up the win for the Hawks allowed only one hit while his opponent Jim Johnston was as equally effective being touched for only three well scattered hits. The Kinsmen started the scoring with both their runs in the second inning. Jim Russell and Rob Grant drew walks and both scored on a single from the bat of Bob Lammie and a ground-out, The only other Kinsmen base runners were Jack Glover in the third after walking, he was thrown out trying to steal and Rob Grant reaching base on an error in the seventh.

Good season With all segments of baseball and softball in this area into the playoff stages it may be a good time to stop for a moment and look back on this 1971 season as a very important one, especially as far as minor baseball is concerned in this district. With various organizations as sponsoring bodies, more youngsters had the opportunity this year to partake in their favorite sport than they have for many a year and probably ever, Here in Exeter, baseball has been a dead issue for quite a few years, but a newly formed Minor Baseball Association took over and three clubs were entered in the Western Ontario Athletic Association. Pee wee, bantam and midget clubs performed this year and they were decked out in new uniforms and were able to use some brand new equipment thanks to the Exeter Fastball Association that donated $400 to the minor baseball cause. The men that looked after the various duties of manager and coach of the three clubs should certainly be commended for spending a lot of time and energy in helping the clubs get going. The three Exeter clubs put up a good showing for the first year back in business. The midget club lost out to Listowel in the first round of WOAA playoffs but put up a real battle. According to the local coaches, the only reason they lost out was because of the Listowel pitcher who was almost unbeatable and is also a regular pitcher with the Listowel intermediates. It was also the same story in Crediton and Dashwood with three minor clubs in action with most of them compiling good records throughout the season. In Crediton, the bantams and midgets won their group and WOAA championships and are awaiting further opposition in Ontario Baseball Association playoffs. The Dashwood situation is similar with the pee wees and juveniles still in action for WOAA titles. To everyone that has had a part in the rekindling of minor baseball interest in this area we say a great big "Thank you. 5 Big tourney The big attraction as far as sports is concerned at Lucan's Centennial celebrations will take place Saturday with an all-day softball tournament. Competing for good prize money will be clubs from Lucan, Nairn, Sylvan, Parkhill, Lieury and London. Hawks fly away When most of the Ontario Hockey Association Junior "A" training camps open in early September no less than seven members of last year's.Exeter Hawks will be in attendance. Last week we mentioned that Pete Glover was heading to the London Knights, Randy Preszcator to the Toronto Marlboros and John Hayter and Pete Kleinstiver to the Niagara Falls Flyers. Since that time we have learned that Joe O'Rourke, Brian Bestard and Perry Stover will be trying out with the Chatham Maroons. We would like to wish everyone of the youngsters the best of luck in their attempts to make the grade in higher company. Their success will certainly have a bearing on the calibre of hockey that will be dished up by the Hawks this year. If most of them return to the Hawks, the local club should have a good chance in grabbing the OHA "D" championship which eluded them by only a single goal in the 1970-71 final against the Haliburton Huskies. Stepping up One of the star players of the Brucefield Bombers girls softball team over the past couple of years has been chosen to play in the Canadian Senior ladies fastball finals. Sandra Graham, 17-year-old daughter of Mel and Betty Graham of Stanley township was one of two players picked up by the Kitchener Kieswetters, all-Ontario champs. The Kitchener club will represent Ontario in the Canadian finals and also participate in a five day tournament in Calgary later in the month. Sandra is currently a member of the Milverton Winstonettes, a senior ladies club. Young NHL'er We ran into an up and coming young NHL star at an area wedding Saturday afternoon. He was Don Luce who as traded during the off-season by the Detroit Red Wings to the Buffalo Sabres. Due to a lack of time we could only talk to Don for a very few moments but we had the best Maple Leaf fan in the Crediton area, Harvey Smith do a little questioning for us. Luce who played his junior hockey in St. Marys and Kitchener said he was looking forward to playing for Punch Imlach at Buffalo. He feels that Boston, New York and Chicago are the clubs to beat in the coming season and he named the Ranger duo of Ed Giacomin and Gilles Villemure as the best goal tenders in the big leagues. won't budge?
