Working
was cool ••1
• r-S
14.
Usually when a person says he is raring to get to work,
he could get sort of a sideways glance as to his sanity.
Monday morning we could hardly wait to get to work,
No, our sanity is reasonably okay, but we have our doubts
about the weatherman.
Actually, the reason for our eagerness in getting to work
was the air conditioning in the office. 'Twas a real pleasure
to step from close to 90 degree temperatures to a cool 74.
While we complain about the heat, what about the
athletes who were in action over the weekend especially in
the Canadian Football league?
The temperatures in Montreal for the Monday afternoon
game were getting close to 100. At night in Hamilton when
one would expect a bit of cooler air in existence the British
Columbia Lions and Tiger Cats were sweltering in
temperatures near 120 due to the new tartan turf which
holds the heat.
While on the subject of Canadian football we have a cou-
ple of comments regarding the game as we presently see it
here.
Periodically someone comes up with suggestions to
change our football rules, mostly of an American variation.
Some of our high school and college leagues have moved to
four downs but the professionals continue with three.
In our opinion the three down rule keeps our game more
wide open and exciting with plenty of passing and wide
sweeps rather than trying to grind out 10 yards in three
bucks at the line.
The kick is also more significant in the Canadian game
and the single point does decide the outcome of a lot of
games.
In Monday's Toronto-Montreal game, the kick proved
very important as each team booted a field goal in the last
minutes of play.
On Montreal's field goal to go ahead by three points, the
Argonauts had Tommy Joe Coffey in the end zone to receive
the kick if it failed to go for a field goal and we are sure TJ
was prepared to boot the ball back out to avoid a single
point.
This aspect of the game provides plenty of excitement
as has been shown in some of the recent Grey Cup and divi-
sion finals when the ball has been kicked back and forth
several times in the last moments of play.
The battle for supremacy in the East of the CFL should
be torrid. While the Montreal Alouettes currently trail the
leading Argos by four points, they are sure to be heard from.
The explosive power of Johnny' Rodgers is enough to keep
the club in contention.
To date. Rodgers has not been used a lot but this situa-
tion will likely change as Levy attempts to get his club
higher in the standings.
Closed too soon
It's a question whether Exeter's RAP committee should
have consulted the weatherman before deciding to close the
swimming pool on Friday of last week.
The decision tO%;CrOse?the pool before Labour Day was
probably made several weeks ago when nobody expecteda
run of hot weathef.lf the pool was open this Week it's a cer-
tainty there would be plenty of prospective customers.
One fellow we talked to recently described the weather
this year as an "old-fashioned" summer. Now time will tell
to see if we are in for an "old-fashioned" winter.
As far as we are concerned last winter was "old-
fashioned" enough for us.
A change in leaders
The dismissal of Detroit Tiger manager Billy Martin
over the weekend wasn't very unexpected after Martin's re-
cent behaviour and his inability to keep his club in front of
the American league eastern division.
Since the firing of Martin the Tigers have won three,
straight games, a couple in exciting fashion. Two of the
coaches who came to Detroit with Martin were also let go.
The Tiger managerial staff now consists of acting
manager Joe Schultz and coaches Dick Tracewski and Al
Kaline who took over first base duties Sunday afternoon.
Regardless of the fortunes of the Tigers for the balance
of the season it is doubtful Schultz will continue in the
managerial capacity for the 1974 season.
It's our guess the job will go to Al Kaline. This would
certainly be a popular move with Tiger fans. Kaline has
been a long-time favorite in Detroit and is well respected by
his team-mates.
The other major league ball team which has a lot of sup-
port in this area continue to turn in an exciting brand of ball
especially when they appear on television.
The Montreal Expos showed plenty of power at the plate
in their Wednesday and Saturday games shown on CBC
stations. The Expos come through with the big hits when
they are needed and they sometimes come from the most
unexpected sources.
The Expos went over the million mark in attendance for
the fifth straight year in Monday's game with the Chicago
Cubs.
Only two outs
The old saying, "one, two, three and you are out"
doesn't apply to Leon McQuay and his stay in Canadian
professional football.
The tempermental McQuay traded to Calgary only a
couple of weeks ago by the Toronto Argonauts when he got
into trouble with the coaching staff suffered the same fate
out west.
He failed to follow orders from coach Jim Duncan dur-
ing a practice session and was ordered off the field and later
placed on waivers. It's almost sure he won't be picked up by
any other Canadian team. His contract is worth about $44,-
000 a year.
McQuay was far from impressive in two starts with
Calgary both resulting in losses to British Columbia and Ed-
monton.
No age changes
The proposed changes in the age limit for junior "C"
and "D" hockey teams in the Ontario Hockey Association
will not come about,
The CAITA has vetoed the proposal that the limit be ex-
tended by one year. This would have meant all supposedly
over-age members of the Exeter Hawks would have been
able to return for another year,
Don't look now, but the first exhibition game for NHL,
teams is less than 15 days away, For the information of dis-
trict hothey fans, the Detroit Red Wings and Atlanta
Plaines will meet at the London Gardens on September 27.
The Exeter Expos have a
chance tonight, Thursday to
move into the Ontario Baseball
Association Intermediate "B"
finals.
Bouncing back with a
resounding 16-4 win over
Wingham Sunday afternoon, the
Expos kept their playoff hopes
alive. Wingham won the first
game a week earlier by a score of
9-8 on a seven run rally in the last
inning.
The third and final game in the
best-of-three series will be played
in Wingham tonight. The winner

moves on and will travel to
Cambellville Sunday afternoon
for the first game of the final
series to decide a provincial
champion.
A good combination
The Expos in winning Sunday's
game rather decisively put
together an unbeatable com-
bination of excellent pitching
with the rattle of base hits.
Right hander Jim Pfaff went
the distance to record his third
playoff victory in four starts.
Pfaff allowed only four hits and
struck out a total of 10 Wingham
batters including clean-up hitter
Don Dennis on three occasions.
The first four innings belonged
to the pitchers as each club could
come up with only one base hit.
The only traffic for Exeter came
when Larry Haugh walked to
open the third and Bill Fairbairn
singled with two out in the fourth.
Fraser Strong singled with two
out in the Wingham first frame to
account for the only hit by the
The Exeter swim team won
four of seven swim relays at a
recent meet at Mount Forest.
Included in the victories was an
Ontario record.
The Exeter team of boys aged
15 years or more comprising
Bryan Tuckey, Bill Van Bergen,
Ian Doidge and Brad Murray won
their event and set a provincial
mark.
Placing first in the 13-14 girls
division was the local team of
Elizabeth Giffin, Lynne Brooks,
Lynne Mercer and Kelly Gaiser.
Making up the winning team of 9
and 10 year-old girls were Laurie
Ross, Cathy Giffin, Catharine
Raymond and Heather Edgar.
Rick Lindenfield., Ian Sweet,
David Bell and Jeff Newby were
members of the 9 and 10 year-old
boys championship relay team
while the boys 11 and 12 years
club included Doug Raymond,
Brian Mercer, Steven Horn and
Cameron Edgar.
Other teams taking part in the
swim meet were Mt. Forest,

home club in the early going.
The Exeter bats came to life in
the top of the fifth inning and the
club never looked back.
Catcher Jim Hewitt started the
rally in the fifth with a single.
Larry Haugh followed with a
walk but was forced at second on
Larry Gibson's grounder.
Pitcher Jim Pfaff came
through in the clutch and rapped
out a single to score Hewitt and
send Gibson on to third. Next to
the plate came Gary Gibson and
he sent his twin brother Larry
home with the second Exeter
marker.
Barry Baynham and Bill
Fairbairn drew successive walks
to score Pfaff and a single from
the bat of Terry Bourne sent two
more Expos scurrying across the
plate.
The Exeter lead went to 6-0 in
the next inning as Jim Hewitt
singled and scored on two quick
fielding errors by the Wingham
shortstop and left fielder.
The icing on the cake came in
The Exeter club did very well
considering this is the first year
for the team and the teams that
did beat the Exeter club were
from larger towns. The top girl
swimmer for Exeter was 10 year-
old Laurie Ross, with a first in the
25 metre breast stroke, second in
the 25 metre freestyle and fourth
in the back stroke.
The top swimmer for Exeter
was Brian Tuckey with a first in
the 100 metre freestyle, second in
100 metre backstroke and third in
the 100 metre breaststroke.
Three Exeter boys won first
place ribbons for individual ef-
forts in the 9 and 10 year section.
They were Ian Sweet in 25 metre
breaststroke, Rick Lindenfield in
25 metre backstroke and David
Bell in 25 metre butterfly.
Brian Horrell won the in-
dividual medley for boys aged 13
and 14. Maja Gans was second in
the 25 metres freestyle and
backstroke and Elizabeth Giffin
was second in a 50 metre

the seventh as the Expos sent 15
batters to the plate and nine were
able to finish their base cycle.
Three Wingham errors and the
same number of walks came in
addition to five Expo base hits,
two for extra bases.
Scott Burton was the Exeter
batting hero in the big rally,
coming up with a triple and single
in the same inning. He also
scored on both occasions.
Helping the cause was a double
from the bat of Terry Bourne and
singles delivered by Gary Gibson
and Larry Haugh.
Wingham bounced back to
score two runs in the bottom of
the seventh on the strength of
manager Ken Saxton's double.
The home club counted their final
two runs in the eighth after the
Expos notched their last score in
the top of the same frame.
Larry Haugh walked to open
the eight and after advancing on
two ground-outs was able to score
on Scott Burton's third straight

A bid by the Dashwood Tigers
to win their fifth Ontario Baseball
Association "D" championship in
six years was thwarted Friday
night,
A combination of home run
pitches and fielding miscues
were the main reasons the Tigers
suffered a 15-10 defeat at the
hands of Tupperville at the Dash-
wood ball park Friday night.
The victory gave Tupperville
the best-of-three OBA semi-final
series in two straight games. The
first game in Tupperville the
previoug Sunday was won by the
home club by a score of 4-3.
Tupperville now goes on to
meet Ivy for the provincial
championship.
Three home runs accounted for
eight of nine runs scored by
Tupperville in the last three
innings. Shortstop Don Park
blasted two drives over the left
field fence in consecutive trips to
the plate in the seventh and eight
innings to gain five runs batted
in.
After one Tupperville runner
crossed the plate in the top of the
ninth on a walk and a couple of
errors, Tom Eves homered over
the left field fence to account for
the final three runs and the
victory.
The Tigers started the game as
if they were going to break it wide
open in the first inning as they.
tagged Tupperville hurler Norm
Oxley for four solid hits, the
same number of safeties they
were to get off the same pitcher
in the entire first game of the
series.
After Tupperville scored twice
in the opening inning, the Tigers
began to howl.
Bob Hoffman singled to start
the Dashwood first, Brian
Bestard followed with a two-
bagger, Bill Schade notched a
single and Jim Guenther blasted
a long ball over the right field
fence to put the Tigers in front 4-
2.
With Schade on first base,
Guenther who performed on both
ends of the battery during the
game stepped in to the first pitch
served up by Norm Oxley and it
was over the fence.
The Tigers lengthened their
lead to 5-2 in the top of the second
as Brian Bestard doubled with
one out and scored as John
Hay ter's grounder was booted by
the Tupperville shortstop.
