Bill Wright held the previous single game score of 440, Don Gravett and Stan Frayne each rolled 435 and the same Bill Farquhar had a score of 416. Asked if pressure bothered him when he realized a perfect game was possible, Farquhar replied, "Up until the eighth or ninth frame it didn't affect me, because I was intent on our team winning the game." "The first strike in the tenth frame is always the key throw. Once I had that the pressure was off," continued the ardent young bowler. Over the years, a prize of $100 has been offered by owners of the Exeter Lanes to anyone throwing a perfect 450 game. Shortly after the excitement and congratulations from everyone in the alley, Bill Farquhar was the proud owner of. a $100 bill, from his father Aub, owner of the local alley.

At present area minor teams must win the Western Ontario Athletic Association championship before being eligible for Ontario Baseball Assocfation play. With a Huron-Perth minor league and only district teams involved, champions in each category could go direct- ly into OBA playoffs. - Getting back.to actual business on the playing field, the Exeter Expos held their first practice Monday night with about 10 players in attendance but they have scheduled a full workout for tonight, Thursday. Aby players in the area wishing to try out with the Ex- pos' will be more than welcome. Manager Lorne Haugh and his cohorts Jim Hewitt and Jim Pfaff are looking for another top flight pitcher or two to help out. Joining together In minor ranks, the villages of Crediton and Dashwood are 'joining together to form a couple of baseball teams. While each village will field their own pee wee and tyke teams, the bantam and midget clubs will be combined. The midget team will be called Crediton-Dashwood and based in Crediton while the bantams will be reversed, play- ing% horhe games in Dashwood and will be known as the DashwoOd-Crediton bantams. Coach Harold Borden is trying to get his Crediton- Dashwood midgets off to a flying start. With wet grounds forcing.ancellation of scheduled practices, Borden took his young charges to a batting range in London to get some swinging practice. .. • Trade winds are blowing Just' before press time, we heard a rumour that trade winds were blowing between the Dashwood Tigers and Ex- eter Expos. :.--"TherAvay-we-hear-it,--Bill-Schade of the Tigers will be tzwiedlikotEmeter f oriBillA3minnel and,an undisclosed am ount. ot dqigttAl1{l{.111111,, ' 1 • • ?Thinking about this proposed swapping, we wonder if everybody would keep their end of the bargain. The recent trade between the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs makes us wonder what could happen in the local situation. The Leafs at the present time are not sure what they are getting from Boston and the Bruins on the other hand, don't have what they had. !To the managers of the two teams, maybe you should get Allan Eagleson to help out at the bargaining table. Chipper on television It was very interesting to watch the Weekend television show a couple of Sunday nights ago and see Hensall native Jack Chipchase featured on part of the program. 'Jack who starred with the strong Toronto Marlboros club of 1964 has been struggling through the minor leagues ever since. . While Jack has been a solid hockey player and popular Wherever he went, but.never seemed to get the right break to make the 'National hockey league. ; On several occasions he was switched from team to team after being on the roster for only a day or two. At Omaha he was named the club's most popular player and twice at Roanoke he was chosen the team's most in- spirational member, .With further expansion and the continuance of the World Hockey Association, Jack still has a chance to break into the tOp flight of hockey, He finished this season with the Roanoke Valley Rebels of the Eastern league. The Rebels areta farm atib of the'Philadelphia Blazers of the W.H.A. Since -1965, Jack has been with Tulsa, Omaha, Rochester, Memphis, Winston-Salem and Roanake Valley. He *actually started his pro hockey career with Victoria, was then loaned to Vancouver and after only two weeks, coach Bert Olmstead sent him to Omaha. `'Everybody was there , When thetkoston Bruins had their 1972-73 season farewell paetty%afew weeks ago, they expected everybody to sliOw up. . 6 When the party started, Phil Esposito was missing beCause he was in Massachusetts General hospital recover- ing from a knee ligament operation. .. His team-mates didn't consider this was a valid excuse. Several of the Bruins left the party which was just around the corner from the hospital and carried Esposito, casts and all to the affair. • Huron Park Minor Hockey Association MEETING Wednesday, May 16 7 p.m. • J.
