Blow lead to Arva Expos edge Tigers lead and lost 7-4 to ,Arva. The Expos will be back in action on two occasions this week. They travel to Dashwood Friday night to meet the Tigers in an 8.30 contest and will meet the Clinton Colts at Exeter Com- munity park Sunday afternoon. Sunday against Arva, the Expos were within an out of victory when the Arva team came to life and scored four times to take a 7-4 lead. In the bottom of the ninth the Expos put their first two batters on base but they were unable to move them around, Rick Schilbe singled and scored on Bill Farquhar's double to account for the first Exeter run in the third inning. Arva scored once in the fifth and added two runs in the seventh to take a 3-1 edge. The Expos bounced back with a three run rally in the seventh to take a one run lead, Terry Bourne opened the Exeter seventh by reaching base on an error, moved to second on a ground-out and scored on a double from the bat of Larry Haugh. Expo hurler Jim Pfaff Strength needed We have been asked to put out a call for any strong men in the area who wish to show their strength and endurance at Dashwood's Friedsburg Days which are coming up on August 3 and 4. Glenn Webb is in charge of the sports program for the two day event and he has again lined up a fine variety of sporting entertainment which will include a tug-of-war con- test. Glenn's main concern at the moment is to find suitable opposition for the defending champions from Shipka. Cliff Russell and his proteges took care of all opponents last year including some invaders from up Cargill way. At least one outside entry will be in attendance but dis- trict competitors are needed to provide the necessary in- terest. Anyone with a suitable group of strong men should call Glenn Webb at 237-3229 within the next week and file an en- try or give us a call and we will be glad to pass on the infor- mation. After watching two members of the Exeter Lions club win the log sawing contest at last week's Centennial celebrations maybe they would consider going into a little deeper test of their physical abilities. Gerry Prout and Robbie Robichaud sawed their way through the log as if it was butter in only 33 seconds while their nearest challengers took almost twice the time while some other competitors were taking as long as two minutes. For some conditioning, the Lions pair could head back to the bush and try dragging home the trees which they practiced sawing down last week. Soccer squabble While Exeter's Centennial celebrations are over and were considered to be very successful a controversy has arisen over one of the sports attractions held on Monday, July 2. A wave of protest is being heard from Goderich over the manner in which the minor soccer tournament was operated. We spent more than two hours Monday afternoon with the local officials in an attempt to get to the bottom of things. The main complaint from the Goderich club which in- cidentally won the championship is that the trophy stayed in Exeter. Throughout the day, the Goderich coach was warned about his coaching vocally from the sidelines which was not permitted under tournament rules. He continued to do this on several occasions during the final match in which Goderich defeated Seaforth 1-0. The Seaforth club refused to lodge an official protest and the win for Goderich stood, After the game, the Goderich players each received Centennial medals and the large Centennial Cup. While making the presentations, Dave Zyluk, president of the Ex- eter Centennial soccer club said after a quick meeting of the club's executive it was decided to keep the trophy in Exeter because of the conduct of the Goderich coach. Goderich officials claim the tournament should have been played under rules of the Ontario Minor Soccer Association. The decision not to disqualify the Goderich team earlier because of the infractions of the coach was made because of the boys playing. As Damien Solomon, a member of the local executive told us Monday, "We organized soccer here for the boys to enjoy themselves and we didn't want to penalize them." The idea of the soccer tournament started early this year when Exeter's Centennial committee asked RAP and recreation director Alvin Willert to arrange a sports program on Monday, July 2. In addition to arranging fastball and swimming, Willert contacted Zyluk and Solomon to operate a soccer tourney. At about the same time, the Exeter Minor Soccer Associa- tion was being formed. The local executive decided to name the club the Exeter Centennial soccer club with an intermediate and four or five minor divisions. President Dave Zyluk personally donated a trophy for the upcoming tournament which was named the Exeter Centennial Cup. Invitations went to teams in Huron to participate in the Centennial cup tourney. A meeting of all teams was held at the Victoria and Grey boardroom in Exeter on June 20 when the rules laid out for the tourney were approved. At this time none of the teams in attendance objected to the rule which restricted a coach from coaching vocally from the sidelines. The only objection to the listed rules was over the number of players each team would be allowed. This came from Goderich and the number was changed from 14 to 17. ' Historic game This year's major league baseball all-star game slated for the Kansas City stadium will be of sort of a historic nature. It is exactly 40 years ago since the first game between the two leagues was played. The first all-star game was played on July 6, 1933 at Comiskey Park in Chicago with the American league win- ning 4-2. A total of 43 games have been actually played in the 40 years as two games were played in each of 1959, 1960 and 1961. The National league has a slight lead with 24 victories, the American league has won 18 times and the second con- test in,1961 was called because of rain with the score tied If anyone doubts the status of the first all-star teams in 1933 a quick look at the Hall of Fame records should suffice. Of the 1933 teams, nine members of the American league team and seven from the National are now in the Cooperstown shrine along with both managers, Connie Mack and John McGraw and one of the umpires, Bill Klern. Despite a downpour of rain which hit Exeter Community park about a half hour before Wednesday's scheduled Cen- tennial harness races were set to go, the eight race card was completed. The track crew worked quickly to get rid of a lake of water at the easterly end of the track and the races went on to provide 674 spectators with an excellent brand of racing. Several of the finishes were real close. The most exciting finish took place in the third race when Super Roy onwed by Jack Morrissey of Crediton edged Direct Liz at the wire. Finishing third was Deep Run Sea. The daily double saw Romin Jerry owned by George Burton of Windsor taking the first race and Miss Lee Dale owned by Gary Wein of Crediton over the finish line first in the second half. Jim Wallace of Crediton was the winning driver. In the first race Sam'my Seaway was second and Golden Chance was third. Placing second and third in the second race were Judy Mathers and Circle Can, respectively. Circle Can is owned by Mel Whittaker and Bill Worrell of Centralia. The Whittaker-Worrell com- bination was back in the winners circle in the fourth race as Sullys Sparky, a six year-old gelding was home first. Jay Dee Riggs owned and driven by Jim Taylor of Hensall was second and Shawnee Rose driven by Ray Campbell of Ailsa Craig was third. The winner in the fifth race was Gar's Pride while Argyel Fred was in the place position and Brian Success was third, Mudette was the sixth race winner, The five year-old mare was driven by owner Robert Taylor of Granton. Miss Mitchi and Maryland Paul were next in line. The feature seventh race which was an invitational pace was won by Away Spangler owned by Albert Gilmour of Ailsa Craig. Away Spangler winner of five races in 22 starts in 1973 also paced the fastest mile of the day over the muddy track in 2,17. Dale Lee Bennett was second and Little RK was third. In the eighth and final race Kill Deer Direct owned by Donald Watson of Parkhill and driven by MacWatson was home first followed by Might Spare and the odds - on favorite Beginners Luck. Away Spangler received a Centennial cooler from Labatt's representative Bud Young. The presiding judge for the afternoon was Ross Parr while the announcer was George Over the past week the Dash- wood Tigers faced Huron-Perth intermediate baseball league opposition on three occasions but were only able to come up with one victory. The week started in Exeter Wednesday as the Expos edged the Tigers 2-1. Friday night the Dashwood club erupted with 18 runs in one inning to score a 19-5 win over Arva. Tuesday night at the Dashwood park, the procedure was reversed with the Clinton Colts blasting out a 15-5. The Tigers will be back in action Friday night on their home field as they play host to the Exeter Expos and Sunday af- ternoon they travel to Arva. In Tuesday's lopsided loss to Clinton, the Dashwood club fell behind early as Clinton scored eight times in the first three innings. The first Tiger tally came in the third inning as John Hayter went all the way to second on an error and scored on a couple of infield outs. In the fifth frame, Rick Bowers walked, Bob Hoffman doubled and both scored on a passed ball and a sacrifice. The final two markers came in the ninth when John Hayter doubled, Jim Guenther walked and both scored on a single from the bat of Kevin Bestard. Dave Ratz and Rick Bowers shared the Dashwood pitching duties. Ratz went the first three and one-third innings giving up eight runs and as many hits. Rick Moffatt, the patrol judge was Keith Coates and Tom Yearley was the timer. Members of the Exeter Turf club committee are Ron Dale, Ted Chaffe, Dave Dale, Gerald Schenk and Bob Pooley. Coolers to the race winners were presented by the Derby Dip, Dale's Answering Service, Exeter District Co-Op, Tuckey Beverages, Snell Bros., Cann's MillkSrnith and Peat Roofing and Har's Body Shop. Bowers finished up and was touched for seven runs and six hits. Friday night on their home field the Tigers went on their biggest single scoring spree in many a year. Trailing 5-1 coming to bat in the bottom of the fourth the Dash- wood club exploded and scored no less than 18 runs before the side was retired. The game was called after five innings with the Tigers leading J9-5. A total of 22 Dashwood batters came to the plate in the big inning with four of the players making three appearances. Brian Bestard and Pete Wuerth slugged back to back home runs with two out in the fourth in their third trip to the plate. Each of the two players also reached the bases on their first two trips on walks and errors. The only Tiger to get two hits in the inning was John Hayter with a single and double in two tries. Bob Hoffman contributed a homer and singles were notched by Gary Hartman, Kevin Bestard, Ron Funston and Bill Hodge. The only Dashwood performer not getting a hit in the inning was Jim Guenther and he walked twice and was safe on an error. Rick Bowers was the starting pitcher for Dashwood. He gave way to lefty Jim Guenther with no one out in the third inning.
