Thursday, the Exeter juveniles downed Crediton by a score of 10- 4 and Sunday they were on the short end of a 10-2 score to Kin- cardine. In their second start, the Crediton youngsters went on a scoring spree Sunday blanking Port Elgin 28-0. The Exeter win over Crediton was accomplished on the strength of nine runs in the eighth inning. Five bases on balls off starter Pat Bedard helped the Exeter cause during the big rally. Kevin Nixon was the big hitter with a double and single. Brian Taylor added a double. The other Exeter score came in the fifth when Noel Skinner was safe on an error and scored on Rob Dickey's single. Keith Davey singled Pat Bedard home with the first Even break for two area juvenile ball clubs The Exeter. Expos make their first starts in the 1974 Huron- Perth baseball league season over the weekend. Friday night the. Expos travel to Zurich and Crediton run in the sixth and Ron Funston and Rodger Finkbeiner tallied in the sixth without the aid of a hit. Ron Funston chalked up the final Crediton score in the ninth inning. Perry Stover went the route on the mound for Exeter while Pat Bedard and Rick Bowers shared pitching duties for Crediton. In Port Elgin Sunday, Crediton banged out a total of 20 hits on the way to the lopsided 28-0 victory. A brother combination led the Crediton team to victory. Rick Bowers went the distance on the mound giving up only one infield hit and striking out 13 opposition batters. Ron Bowers was the batting hero with four singles and a double in eight appearances at the plate. Bill Hodge was next in line with three singles while Rick Bowers, Pete Wuerth, Ron Funs ton and Pat Bedard collected two hits apiece. Sun6y afternoon the same two teams meet at the Exeter Community Park. The Expos are being operated this year by the players them- Need help At the moment, the Exeter Minor Baseball Association has four teams entered in the Western Ontario Athletic Association. This figure may drop to three if some volunteers are not forthcoming to help in coaching and managing, The pee wee team is without any guidance and the ban- tams and midgets could also use some assistance. Only the juvenile team is set as far as help is concerned. EMBA vice-president Bill Dougherty told us this weekend the situation is serious, Bill continued, "we are really concerned, We can't find enough people to help us operate the three younger age teams." "It's very evident the boys want baseball but the ques- tion is do the parents. We want to provide the boys with competition but we can't do it without some help," added Dougherty. The local baseball group which is headed by president Bud Preszcator could use at least four volunteers. The per- sons willing to help need not be experts as far as the game of baseball is concerned. People are needed to arrange transportation, contact the boys for practice and games and the other hundred jobs which befall a team official. Actually the only ingredient needed to help the cause is a willingness to expend a bit of energy and give up a few hours of spare time, The problem of securing coaching help for baseball is not a new one here. The boy scout and cub movement is practically extinct in Exeter for the same reason, the lack of leaders. This is a serious metter. Bill Dougherty suggested that if the pee wee team was disbanded this year it could mean the decline of minor baseball. If a pee wee team is missing for two years it will cer- tainly mean the bantams would be next to fall mainly because of the lack of players coming up through the system and this could work right to the top. Let's hope at least a couple of volunteers will show up in the next few days and keep the youngsters of town playing a sport they enjoy. Expos need help, too The need for help is not confined to minor baseball. The Exeter Expos of the Huron-Perth intermediate league also are looking for assistance. Their need is in the administration department. Terry and Bill Bourne are looking after the field chores but they need a secretary and treasurer. The Expos make their first starts in the H-P this weekend and by the look of their roster it looks as if they should make a good showing against other area in- termediate teams. The Expos pitching staff will be strengthened by the ad- dition of a former Intercounty hurler. He is Jim Lywycki: who spentwo, yca)t!s,,with‘ Galt "ands was a member of the‘ Canadian junior championship team of a fe'w years ago. t Quarter horse show Exeter Community Park will be the scene Saturday of the ninth annual Mid-Western Quarter Horse Show and plen- ty of exciting entertainment will be provided for spectators. Added to the usual long list of events will be calf roping. This event always produces interesting action at the rodeo and should do the same Saturday. The Exeter Kinsmen club is sponsoring the show for the fourth consecutive year. A large number of trophies have been donated by Exeter and area merchants. While the judge for the show will come from the United States most of the other personnel connected in running the show will be local. Dalt Finkbeiner, long associated with horse shows will be the show manager. Fred Darling will again handle the announcing duties and Noel Veri continues in the capacity of show secretary. Mrs. Veri reports entries are coming in good numbers. The local show has been classed as an "A" event for quite a few years with 225 entries or more. The Exeter show in recent years has been the second largest quarter horse show in the province of Ontario and entries are expected from many parts of the United States in addition to many sections of Canada. The judge for Saturday's show is B. B. Burns of Decatur, Illinois. As in the past, emphasis is put on the young competitors with numerous youth activity classes. The show will get underway at 8:30 in the morning with the afternoon program scheduled to start at one o'clock featuring the more exciting events as far as spectators are concerned with calf roping, barrel races, pole bending, rein- ing, western pleasure and trail classes. Roy Bennett will be at the show with the CKNX Wingham sound equipment. The Ontario Quarter Horse Association has one of the largest following of youth activity classes in Canada. As of last year, there were more than 11,000 registered quarter horses in Ontario, the second highest in the Domi- nion of Canada. The quarter horse had its beginning as a race horse. In the 360 years since its origin, he has retained his ability to beat horses of any other breed from a standing start up to 440 yards or a quarter mile thus establishing its name. Chipper on champions The June issue of the Hockey News now on sale contains a picture of the Roanoke Valley Rebels, champions of the Southern hockey league. In the front row is Jack Chipchase who has been a stalwart defenceman for the Rebels for quite a few years, He was also named the most popular and the most in- spirational player on the Roanoke team. Boost YOUR HOME TOWN Greys win four straight The Exeter Greys won their fourth straight game in the South Perth ladies softball league Wednesday by trouncing Fullarton 17-1. The only Fullarton run came in the first inning as Becky Nairn doubled and scored on a single from the bat of Judy Fisher. Joyce Morgan tripled and stole home to put the Greys on even terms in the bottom of the second inning. In the fourth the Greys ex- ploded for seven runs and moved in front to stay. Five bases on balls, doubles delivered by Margaret Relouw and Lynne Farquhar and Merna Carter's single produced the seven markers. The sixth frame produced another seven run splurge for the Greys.

Merna Carter was the starting and winning pitcher for the Exeter girls. Lea De jong came in to throw in the sixth and finished up. Bantams get narrow win In their first start of the Western Ontario Athletic Association season, the Exeter bantams baseball team edged Seaforth 13-12 Sunday afternoon in Seaforth. The bantams will be at home at Exeter Community Park Friday evening when they play host to Clinton. Steve Beer singled in the last inning to score the tying and winning runs for Exeter. Other top contributors at the plate were Steve Baynham and Randy Fisher. Paul and Perry Pooley shared the pitching duties for the Exeter club.

Four Crediton runs in the top of the seventh inning sealed the victory after Exeter had cut the deficit to 6-4 with two markers in the sixth, Tom Hayter's single along with four walks produced the game winning rally for the Crediton boys. In the first inning doubles by Hayter and Rick Moody sent the first three runs across the plate for the winners. Moody singled again in the second to score the fourth Crediton run. Singles by Matt Muller and Bruce Hodge notched the fifth Crediton score and Wayne Clarke walked and rode home on Dale Dinney's single in the sixth. John Gould and John Van Gerwen scored the first two Exeter runs in the first inning coming across the plate on singles from the bats of Paul Brooks and Steve Knight. Jeff Davis and Bob Hoffman notched the final Exeter markers in the sixth inning. Doug Mclsaac was the starting Centennials lose in soccer loop The Exeter Centennials playing their first season in the London and district league dropped a 4-0 decision Sunday to the Ingersoll Flyers "B" club.
