At the moment five headline speakers have been definitely confirmed along with a good supporting cast. Heading the list as far as speaking abilities are concern- ed is Emmett Ashford, the former American league baseball umpire who was the first negro to hit the big leagues in an officiating role. Next in line and probably first on the list of a lot of baseball fans as far as popularity is concerned is Canada's own John Hiller. Hiller is the Detroit Tiger left handed pitcher who astounded the baseball and medical world by coming back to the American league after suffering a heart attack in January of 1971. His return to baseball may have been rather astounding from a medical standpoint but his performance on the dia- mond is far more sensational. Only 18 months from the time he suffered the heart at- tack which was termed a "myocardial infarction", Hiller was back with the Tigers and played the last half of the 1972 season making 21 relief appearances and three starts on the mound. After studying the Hiller medical case, a top notch heart specialist said, "For Mr. Hiller it is better for him to play baseball than not to play." In further attempts to get back into good physical condi- tion. Hiller spent part of the off-season in the Puerto Rican winter league. The 1973 season proved to be by far the best in Hiller's career which started with the Tigers in 1965. In the late stages of the pennant race when the Tigers still had a chance for the league pennant, it seemed John Hiller was summoned into almost every game by manager Bill Martin. His number of saves reached 38 which is an all-time major league record and his earned run average was very low. We know a lot of tried and true baseball fans in this area and not necessarily Tiger supporters who will be pleased to have a chance to see the Tiger southpaw in person. Also on the celebrity guest list will be a former rough and tough defenceman of the National Hockey league New York Rangers, Lou Fontinato. Fontinato, now a successful farmer in the Guelph area had his hockey career cut short by a serious injury but his reputation as a hard rock is remembered by hockey fans. Mac Cuddy of Strathroy, owner of Smog and a lot of ex- cellent harness horses will definitely be here. Another popular figure in attendance will be Whipper Billy Watson, a well-known name not only in wrestling but in Crippled Children's circles. Watson has been a familiar figure for many years as he carried "Timmy" on his broad shoulders to many dinners of this kind. The last time we saw the Whipper was at the Easter Seals sales kickoff last spring in London and he was just battling back from the results of a very serious auto acci- dent- in which he had both legs broken. He showed the courage in recovery that he has been trying to instill& crippled kids for a longt long time. The National Timmy will be here in Exeter on February 5 and will probably be sitting right alongside his friend, the Whipper. John Butler, chairman of the Crippled Children's Association also plans to be here. Add to this another half dozen Western Ontario sports celebrities and the vociferous Tory Gregg as master of ceremonies and the dinner should be a gigantic success. Frank Cosentino, coach of the University of Western Ontario Mustangs, curler Jim Waite, golfer Ken Doig and former hockeyist Larry Jeffrey will be here. Lions club sportsmen's dinner chairman Don Taylor has been putting in a lot of long hours in promoting the event. Don has been working closely with the London group which is holding their annual dinner the night before, February 4. Taylor is still attempting to get Mrs. Penny Tweety, owner of the super horse Secretariat. Tim Foli of the Mon- treal Expos and Glenn Weir of the Montreal Alouettes. By having the dinner, the night after London's, a lot of the speakers were much easier to secure. We will probably be mentioning more about the dinner as the next three weeks sneak by. Until then save up your dollars. You certainly won't be disappointed in the enter- tainment. Tickets are now on sale at outlets featuring the gold and black posters. Tickets are S25 and a good portion of this amount is tax deductible. Will power be saved? While everyone is very conscious of the energy crisis and talk of cutting down on major league baseball games at night we ran across an interesting article in the Sporting News. A study by the Kansas City Power and Light Company draws some interesting conclusions on the question of con- serving energy by a cutback in night games. "We figured it on a crowd of 10,000" said a Kansas City utility executive. "If 10,000 television sets were turned on for four hours, the energy used would equal the power re- quired to operate the field lights at Royals Stadium for four hours. And that doesn't take into consideration air- conditioning and other lighting in homes. The night game should therefore bring about a savings in energy." The above argument doesn't hold water completely. It would be our guess that some persons in a good percentage of those 10,000 homes would still be around to watch televi- sion while others are at the ball game. Up in scoring race Lastest statistics of the OHA Continental Senior league released by statistician Nick Martin show four members of the Lucan-Ilderton Jets well up in the scoring race. Jamie Robb has a total of 31 points good for second spot in the league scoring race. Rick Fifield is in third spot with 30 points but leads the goal scorers with 19, five more than any other performer in the league. Playing coach Jack Nairn has 28 points, good for fifth place and Jacques Cousineau is in ninth spot with 25 points. Rick Fifield leads with the most power play goals with eight,goalie Lorne Daer has a goals against average of 3.75, third best in the league. Let's go skiing With the to-Operation of the Ausable-Bayfield Conserva- tion Authority efforts are being made to form a cross coun- try skiing and SnOW shoeing club. The conservation areas at Parkhill are ideal for this type of winter activity. Any interested persons are asked to call Mike Ball at 2854175 or Jini Rowatt of the Conservation Authority at 235- 2610.
