Women capture bowling honors The. distaff members of the Exeter lawn bowling club came up with the big share of victories in play this week. On Saturday night, Anna Ballantyne recorded two wins with a plus of nine and aggregate of 24 to narrowly edge Beth Batten. The latter had an identical two wins and plus of nine but fell one short in the aggregate. Tuesday night, Olive Harvey was top entrant with two wins and a plus of 16 and 27 aggregate. Willis Dorman was close behind with an aggregate of 26 with his two wins and plus of 16. Bill Whittle and Russ Snell followed in third and fourth place respectively, with two wins each. Whittle had a plus of 8 and aggregate of 21, while Snell recorded a plus of five and 28 aggregate. The Crediton and Zurich midgets split the first two games of their best-of-five zone D playoff in a pair of weekend games. Crediton posted a 12-4 win on their home field Saturday, while Zurich came right back to record an 8-4 triumph in their home park Sunday. Third game of the series will be played in Crediton this Sunday at 2:00 p.m. Crediton scored in all but one inning as they posted the first win in the series. They scored five runs in the first four innings, and after being held off the score board in the fifth, came back with seven more in the final three frames for the win. Larry Clarke held the visitors to only four hits in posting the win. He recorded 17 strikeouts. Paul Truemner started on the hill for Zurich, giving way to Pat Bedard and then Dave Schilbe, Kevin Bestard socked a home run for the winners in the sixth, while Clarke aided his own cause with a double and single and Keith Davey had a pair of singles. Matt Muller and Bruce Hodge singled for the winners also. Gerald Weido and Dave Schilbe had two singles apiece for the Zurich squad. Playing on their own diamond, the Zurich crew evened the series as they scored seven times in the third inning to walk away with the Sunday victory. Zurich picked up only two hits in the frame, but were aided by one walk, a hit batsman and three Crediton errors, The winners added another tally in the fourth as they came up with only one hit again. Marc Gelinas had a double for Zurich, while Pat Bedard and IDave Schilbe contributed singles. Feature of the contest was the tight pitching duel between Jim Guenther and Ken Armstrong as they matched pitch for pitch through most of the 13 innings. The Tigers put the only run of the game on the score board when John Hayter led off the 13th with a double and moved to third on a wild pitch. Pete Wuerth then grounded out from the pitcher to first and Hayter was unable to advance, The Thorndale management 411.111 JIM GUENTHER Bedard was the winning pit- cher, allowing Crediton only four hits. Kevin Bestard started on the mound for Crediton and was relieved by Ron Anderson in the disastrous third inning. Bestard had two singles in the losing cause, while Ron Smith cracked out a double and Ron Bowers had one single. Crediton went down in order in five of the nine frames as the winners came up with some good fielding plays. They recorded two double plays to thwart Crediton rallies in the fifth and seventh frames. 10% Off Golf Clubs, Bags and Carts • Golf Shoes Reg. $22.95 NOW $ 1 495 • Remember . For Back To School ...

Exeter 235.0800 The Exeter Expos scored five times in the first inning and went on to post a decisive 10-3 win over Arva in the first game of a best- of-three intermediate "B" playoff, Sunday, Second game of the set is slated for Exeter this Sunday at 2:00 p.m., with the third back in Arva if necessary, Sunday's game featured the return to baseball of Jim Fair- bairn, prominent as an organizer of intermediate baseball for several years. He filled in as manager for Lorne Haugh, who has been forced to the sidelines by sickness. The Expos first inning rally came after two outs and sent them into a lead they never relinquished. Midgets out two straight The Exeter midgets ended their baseball season when they dropped two straight games in a best-of-three series with Listowel this week. Thursday night in Listowel, the locals came up with three runs in their half of the seventh inning, only to have Listowel score once in the bottom half to win the game by an 11-10 margin. Playing in Exeter, Sunday, Listowel hurler John Wood held the locals off the score sheet as the northern crew came up with a 6-0 verdict. The opening game of the series was a see-saw affair throughout, with Exeter coming behind on -several occasions to keep in contention. They spotted Listowel four runs in the first frame, but came back to knot the count in the second. Listowel moved back ahead by two in their half of the same frame, only to have Exeter tie it again in the third. Exeter went ahead 7-6 in the fourth, but Listowel scored four times in the same frame to set the stage for the last-inning heroics by both teams. McKenzie led off for the win- ners with a single in the bottom of the seventh, and after Wood struck out, Doig blasted the game-winning smash to drive home the winner. Exeter managed only five hits, all singles off the bats of Wilson, Taylor, Brooks, Gould and Nixon. They stayed in contention with 14 walks and two hit batsmen. Listowel picked up 14 hits off the offerings of Exeter hurlers Wuerth and Wilson. On Sunday, the two teams played scoreless ball until the sixth inning, when Listowel scored four times and added two more in the seventh to oust the locals. The only threat Exeter could mount came in the last of the sixth when Skinner and Gould led off with back-to-back singles. After Taylor flied out, McIver walked to load the bases, but all three runners were left stranded, The two singles were the only hits given up by Wood in his shut- out performance. Nixon worked the distance for Exeter and gave up nine hits, Bill Bourne reached first base on an error after one out and moved to second when Barry Baynham walked, Bourne was then forced at third as Bill Fairbairn reached first on a fielder's choice. Terry Bourne and Rick Schilbe followed with back-to-back singles and after a couple of stolen bases, both scored when Jim Hewitt was safe on the second error of the inning by Arva first baseman, Walt Parkinson. Hewitt also scored when Jim Pfaff singled. Arva came back with two runs in the bottom of the first inning when Ken Neeham and Parkinson pounded out singles and scored on an Expo error. However, the locals got those two runs back in the next inning when Bill Bourne led off with a long home run and Baynham and Fairbairn followed with singles and Schilbe contributed a sacrifice fly to centre. Exeter starter Jim Pfaff gave up one more run in the second with two more singles but he then settled down and held Arva off the score sheet for the balance of the nine innings. The Expos added one more tally in the sixth on only one hit, a single by Bill Bourne, and came up with a pair in the last frame on only one hit, a single by Jim Hewitt. Arva managed only three singles off Pfaff over the final six innings to bring their total to seven hits. He never allowed a runner past second in those final six innings and set the home team down in order in four of those frames. Pfaff recorded eight strike-outs and helped his cause with three unassisted put-outs. The Expos also came up with some solid fielding and miscued only twice in the nine-inning contest. Bill and Terry Bourne paced the Expos at the plate with a pair of hits each. Bill had a homer and single, while Terry contributed a double and single. Only one player failed to hit safely in the game, as singles were recorded off the bats of Bill Farquhar, Barry Baynham, Bill Fairbairn, Rick Schilbe, Jim Hewitt and Jim Pfaff. Craig recorded 11 strike-outs in his losing cause but was hurt with four errors and six walks. COTTON'S COMME NTS 111011141111111111111001111041110010111iiniuminunriumiirountrirrn It's been a day or two since the writer pounded out a sports column, but judging from some of the things that have appeared here recently the content is mostly fantasy anyway. For more years than he probably cares to remember, the normal possessor of this spot has been telling area sports fans that "this is the year of the Tiger". Unfortunately, the Tigers have been about as consistent as he, and only once has he been able to end the baseball season with an "I told you so", He also backs such all-time losers as the New York Rangers, the Toronto Argos and the South Huron District High School Panthers basketball team. We imagine by now readers will find him such a consis- tent loser that they await his predictions eagerly so they can go out and place their money on the opposite squads. * * * While Hooker has been watching the Detroit Tigers with his usual painstaking care, another baseball team has started to catch the imagination of more and more fans. We speak of none other than Canada's only entry in the big time, the Montreal Expos. During our recent stay in Quebec, we took in one of the games with the Chicago Cubs at Jarry Park and found the Expos turning in an excellent calibre of baseball, as many TV fans will know. On the particular day in question, the Expos managed to bunch together three runs in the seventh inning and whipped the boys from the Windy City by a 3-2 count. The game followed the pattern of many of the Expos victories, as Mike Marshall came on to pitch shut-out ball over the final three innings to preserve the win for one of the Expos starters, Mike Torrez in this case. Marshall has a league-leading "saves" record and is one of the men most responsible for the fact the Montreal club are now only three games out of first place in the rather bizarre eastern division of the National League. We say bizarre, because only one team in the division is playing over .500 ball and as a comparison, that would be only good enough for fifth place or so in the western divi- sion. Any of the six teams in the Montreal loop have a chance of winning it all, as the last place Mets are only back of the leaders by seven and a half games. With well over a month left to play, a hot streak by any of the six teams could find them in the playoff, and it is cer- tainly not beyond reason that the Expos could be the team to do it. Steve Rogers has developed into one of the hottest pitchers in the loop with four wins and a loss in his five starts as a rookie. Some of the other Montreal moundsmen are also starting to regain their winning form and could give hitters more trouble than they were a couple of months ago. Short-stop Tim Foil will soon be back in the lineup and if some of the clutch hitters such as Jorgenson, Bailey, Fairley and Singleton keep coming through the Expos will make it most interesting. * * * An indication of the mounting "pennant fever" in Mon- treal was evidenced by the fact we happened to have helped set an all-time attendance record when 31,000 plus fans appeared on August 5. We ended up with the "gods" in right field about as far:; from home plate as you can get and not end up in the parking:- lot. The Expo fans are perhaps not quite as rabid as some, but there are indications that if the club stays close, they'll keep other fans going to duplicate their noise. Who knows, Ross, the Tigers may just end up in a World Series with the Expos! Now, wouldn't that be something? It would certainly test the loyalty of the Tiger fans in the area if a Canadian team made it in to the fall classic. Mini bike riders compete then ordered intentional walks for Bill Schade and Jim Guenther to set the stage for a force-out at any base. However, they never managed the feat as Armstrong uncorked a wild pitch with Dave Ratz at the plate and Hayter scampered home with the winner. Guenther pitched a masterful game to record his shut-out. The hefty hurler allowed only four hits and gave up seven walks. He struck out 20 Thorndale batters and further aided his cause with nine assists on put-outs. His opposing moundsman, Armstrong, gave up only five hits in the extra inning contest, allowed seven bases on balls and whiffed 10 Tigers. John Hay ter led the winners at the plate with a single and while Gary,,,Hartman 'Cattibuted two singles and Bill Schade had one. Both teams came up with some good fielding plays to keep runners off the base paths 'throughout the.13 innings. Second game in the series was played in Thorndale last night and if a third is necessary, it will be back in Thorndale Sunday night. The winner will meet with the winner of the Clinton-Arva series in another best-of-three affair for the title. Arva leads the other set with a 3-2 win in the only game played to date. Glenn Webb, manager of the Dashwood club, expects to find out some time this weekend who the Tigers will meet in the first round of OBA playoffs. A young enthusiastic group of competitors took over the Hully Gully Mini Bike Grand Prix course on Sunday and provided a fine display of sportsmanship and skill for all those present. Two popular events in addition to the Grand Prix competition were the Mini Bike Drags run on an is mile grass track and the combined School Boy and Mini Enduro Mote Cross held on the challenging Moto Cross dirt course. Only area winners were Charles Collins, Varna and Brad Darling, Ailsa Craig who finished second and third respectively in the pee wee division of the B mini bike class. The trophy for overall points was awarded to Mark Nafziger, Kitchener. Crediton, Zurich tie midget series :'
