Monday, July 2 will feature three top sports attractions. The fastball tournament will start in the morning and carry on to well into the evening hours with eight of the best clubs in Western Ontario in action. Ed Hearn of the Exeter Football Association tells us this will be the best brand of fastball ever witnessed in our part of the country. First rate clubs from London. Sarnia and Breslau, to name only a few will be displaying their diamond savvy:- The eight clubs will be vying for $250 in prize money be- ing offered by the Centennial committee. The local fastball group will be supplying trophies for individual stars and medals to all competitors. While the ball tourney is going on two other sports will be in progress at practically the same time. At the Exeter swimming pool, various water activities are planned. This will include a swimming meet and various exhibitions of swimming skills along with synchronized swimming. It is expected at least 10 minor soccer teams will be tak- ing part in a soccer tournament. Teams will be in from as far away as Toronto. Soccer is gaining popularity in this area this year. The Exeter Centennials are competing in the Ausable senior league and local youngsters are playing on five minor teams. A monstrous fireworks display is planned for the same evening after the other sporting activities have concluded. Wednesday, July 4, the Exeter turf club will be staging a harness racing meet with eight races scheduled to go, Purses amounting to $2,500 are being offered and one race is being scheduled for invitational class pacers. This will be the best racing card offered at the Exeter track for many years. The local track is considered to be one of the best in Western Ontario and the July 4 meet should provide plenty of racing excitement. Friday afternoon, July 6, one of the features from the annual Exeter Midwestern rodeo will be staged to give spec- tators an exciting afternoon. This will be a little britches rodeo. The Centennial week will also feature two parades which should be the best parades this town has ever seen, well, at least in the last 100 years. The first and what is billed as a giant parade goes on Saturday, June 30. The Exeter Lions club are sponsoring another parade on Thursday, July 5. The Lions parade will have an agricultural and antique theme. Anyone wishing to take part in this one with any float, vehicle or conveyance is asked to get in touch with Gerry Prout for further particulars. Gerry may be reached at 235-1866. ,.,.Snesehicle that will be a sure starter in the parade is a 14/8 'CVe'fraCtor now owned by Dick-Jerfnyn. The tractor question looks something like the one used in the Green Acres television show. We are sure it won't blow up during' the parade. The tractor was used for many years on the Usborne township farm of Garnet Hicks. A tremendous effort Saturday's quarter horse show at Exeter Community park was a terrific success and it looks as if some records could have been broken. For most of its existence the local show has made the grade of being a Class "A" show with at least 225 entries to qualify, Saturday it made the grade and how with a Capital H. The final count on the number of entries reached 394. Show secretary Noel Veri told us the week quarter horse officials here Saturday were not sure of the record for entries in an outdoor show. They thought it was either 388 or 396. Whether this constitutes record or not it's a tremendous achievement for the local Quarter horse group and the spon- soring body the Exeter Kinsmen club. The Kinsmen had trouble keeping their food concession booths stocked Saturday and had to put calls out for extra food on a couple of occasions. The Exeter show is becoming more popular each year and this time there were new entries from as far away as Oklahoma and Nebraska, Time to fiddle For area persons looking for some enjoyable entertain- ment this coming weekend, we would suggest a visit to the Ontario Old Time Fiddlers contest being held at the Hensall arena. The fiddlers contest being staged for the third straight year by the Hensall Kinsmen club goes Friday and Saturday night at the Henson arena. Contest chairman Wayne Reid tells us the entry list in this show is expected to be bigger and better than ever. Preliminaries get underway Friday night with the finals slated for Saturday at 7 p.m. Friedsburg days are later The annual Friedsburg Days held each year in Dashwood will be held a month later this year. Due to Centennial celebrations here in Exeter, the good folks in Dashwood have postponed their weekend of fun and entertainment to the Civic Holiday weekend of August 3,4 and 5, To halls of fame Two Canadian horse racing veterans are or soon will be inducted into racing and sports halls of fame. Closest to home, a native of Clandeboye, Clint Hodgins is going to become a member of a harness racing hall of fame while Saturday afternoon Ron Turcotte was named to the New Brunswick Hall of Fame, Turcotte, who rode Secretariat to a triple crown in Saturday's Belmont Stakes was inducted to the New Brunswick position only minutes after Saturday's race end- ed, Alden Clark of Fredericton, chairman of the board of governors for the Hall of Fame said board members decided unanimously in a telephone canvass after the race to induct Turcotte, a native of Grand Falls, New Brunswick im- mediately.

In the Exeter eighth, Randy Decker was hit by a pitch, Rick Schilbe singled, both moved up as Terry Bourne drew a walk and scored on Bill Fairbairn's single. The only other Exeter hit was another single by Fairbairn in the fourth but he failed to score. Larry Gibson went the first five innings on the mound for Exeter with Randy Decker taking over to finish up. In the loss to Clinton, errors were costly to the Expos. The Colts scored four times in the fourth inning without getting a base hit as the Expos were unable to find the handle on five batters. The only Exeter run came in the seventh.

Midgets get decisive win The Exeter midgets scored a decisive 10-0 win over Zurich in Western Ontario Athletic Association play Tuesday night. The Exeter club scored a single run in the first inning, added two in the fourth and broke the game open with a five run rally in the fifth. They completed the scoring with two final runs in the sixth. In the first inning, Noel Skinner walked and scored on Bill Wilson's single. The fourth inning runs came as the result of singles from the bats of Skinner and Wilson, The same two fellows were back in the big fifth inning with singles along with Brian Taylor and walks to John Vriese, John Gould, Dan McIver and Kevin Nixon. Noel Skinner socked his third hit of the night in the sixth and came around to score as John Vriese connected for a one base blow. Bill Wilson was on the mound for Exeter and limited the Zurich youngsters to three well scat- tered hits.
