The Exeter club suffered a 12-5 defeat, The second game of the best-of-three series will be played at Exeter Community park this coming Sunday afternoon with game time set for two o'clock. Exeter manager Jim Fairbairn won the toss of the coin for the deciding game. If the Expos can come up with a Sunday win on their home field they will be right back in Exeter the following weekend for the third and deciding contest for the Ontario championship. The Expos reached the provincial final by eliminating Wingham in the semi-final round, but they certainly had their hands full in the third and final game. In Wingham Thursday night, the Expos held a comfortable 8-2 lead at the end of six innings of play but were forced to hang on for dear life and salvaged a 9-8 decision when the game ended a Wingham runner, manager Ken Saxton was on third base with the potential tying run. Good start In Campbellville Sunday af- ternoon, the Expos got off to a flying start by scoring three times in their very first turn at the plate. Three home runs in the bottom of the second inning for Camp- bellville sort of changed the complexion of the game and the home club never looked back. With one out in the Exeter first, Bill Bourne drew a walk and Barry Baynham followed with a single. Next to the plate came clean-up hitters Bill Fairbairn and he did exactly that, clean the 'sacks with a long drive over the fence. The home club managed to get one run back in the bottom of the same frame on a single, two walks and a sacrifice.• In the Campbellville second, the first two batters bashed the ball over the fence. Exeter starting pitcher Larry Gibson was able to get the next batter out and then two solid singles set the stage for the third round tripper of the inning. At• this point, Expo manager Jim Fairbairn made his way to the mound and replaced south- paw Gibson with veteran right hander Jim Pfaff. Pfaff was able to retire the next two hatters and after giving up a single run in the third kept the opposition off the score sheet until the eighth inning when a Drags run at Gully Close to 500 persons were in attendance at Hully Gully Sunday afternoon as series one of the Ontario grass drag cham- pionships were held. The top point winner of the day was Jim Adema of Belmont, Michigan who won the A,B,C and D modified championships. He is also 1973 winner of the Kawartha Cup. Series two of the championship resumes this Sunday at Hully Gully with starting time slated for 1:30 p,m. Peter Nieuwenhuizen of Watford was a three event winner while M.

ALL. PQQA $poRTS By Ross Heagh Expos a t home One of the most important baseball games played in Ex- eter in many years goes at Exeter Community park Sunday afternoon at two o'clock, The Exeter Expos in their second season of existence meet Carnpbellville in the second game of a best-of-three series for the Ontario Baseball Association Intermediate "B" championship. The Expos dropped a 12-5 decision in Campbellville Sun- day and must win at home to stay in contention. One advan- tage the Exeter club has is the fact manager Jim Fairbairn won the toss of the coin and if a third contest is necessary, the Expos will again be at home. We have talked to a couple of members of the Expos and they feel confident they can swing the tide Sunday and force a third game. Veteran right hander Jim Pfaff is almost certain to get the starting pitching assignment. Pfaff pitched almost seven innings of relief in the first game and was in trouble in only one inning. Best of luck from this department to the Expos as they take to the diamond Sunday afternoon and we hope the following weekend. • Football season starting While Canadian professional football teams have been in action for more than a month, the high school variety starts this weekend. The two football teams at South Huron District High School take to the gridiron Saturday as they play host to • Strathroy in a doubleheader. The senior contest starts at 11 a.m. with the junior game following immediately. We dropped up to the local high school playing field Monday afternoon as the two teams were going through practice sessions, Ron Bogart and Glenn Mickle are in charge of the senior club while Doug Ellison and Dave Cox will handle the junior coaching duties. Both clubs seem to be progressing quite well in pre- season training. The seniors especially were taking their blocking and tackling sessions seriously with plenty of head- on clashes and rattling of helmets and pads. Expo World series, Maybe Each year at least one division of the major baseball leagues has an exciting finish to decide which club will ad- vance to the league playoffs and a chance at the World Series. This year is no exception with the Eastern section of the National league providing enough action to do for the other three sections. With five teams having a good chance to finish first every game becomes very important and the standings are liable to change drastically every day. At the moment, the St. Louis Cardinals lead the Pittsburg Pirates by one game, the Montreal Expos by two and a half games and the New York Mets and Chicago Cubs by an even three games. The games early this week between the Cubs and Pirates and the Cards and Expos are highly important. By Wednes- day night the Expos could be only a half game out of first and the Pirates could actually be ahead of the Cards. Anything is not only highly probably but could be easily possible. With two favorites in the running among the five clubs we stand a good chance of having one make the grade. The Montreal Expos are of course our first choice and the Chicago Cubs are a close second as far as sentiment goes. It maybe would be a good idea if the Canadian Broad- casting Corporation would decide to televise the balance of games this season of the Expos. Each time the Expos appear in a televised game they come up with sparkling performances and in nine out of ten instances put on exciting rallies to turn apparent defeat into victory. Under manager, Gene Mauch, the Expos have gained the reputation of being able to come from behind to over- coming what appeared to be almost unsurmountable deficits. Early preparation Although 1973 vacations are over for most people we found an interesting article in a recent issue of the Sports and Fitness Instructor which may help some folks for next summer's vacation, including this writer. We will pass along a portion of the information now to give everybody a chance to get into shape for the spring and summer of 1974. Picture this: You and your family arrive back at the house after a two-week holiday. You plunk down the suitcases in the hallway, sink into an easy chair and sigh: "Boy — do I need a week-long rest!" Sounds familiar? It probably does, if you are like most Canadians who spend all winter "hibernating" and never really get in shape to enjoy their vacation fully. Whatever level of fitness we attained last summer has slipped away during the winter months if you have remained indoors and relatively inactive. It doesn't help that during fall and winter you probably ate larger and heavier meals and munched an increased amount of snacks while watching television. One of the results is that last summer's swim slit suddenly seems to have shrunk while in mothballs. Fully realizing that they should do something to get in condition to enjoy the summer more, many people intend to start a program that will 'help prepare them for increased outdoor exertion, Then — suddenly — the long-awaited annual vacation is at hand and they eagerly look forward to two or three weeks of tennis, swimming, golf, hiking or roughing it in the bush or at camp sites. Off they go, totally unprepared for the demanding itineraries and/or activities. After the first few days of frantic activity, they often spend the remainder of their vacation putting up with aches and pains . . and they return to work needing a week to recover. Instead of being a period of rest, recreation and 100 per- cent enjoyment, the holidays represent, in those cases, stress. You can have a more active and more enjoyable holiday break by beginning now to gradually accustom your body to increased activity. Within a couple of weeks you will find you are able to participate in your favorite Outdoor pleasures for longer periods of time, with more enjoyment and with far less, if any, discomfort. You can make an excellent start by doing stretching/flexibility exercises. These are ideal for loosen- ing up long unused 'tinkles and toning them in preparation for more vigorous activities.
