REALTOR Exeter - Grand Bend Office 235-2420 The Exeter Expos scored two wins in Huron-Perth in- termediate baseball league play this week to up their season record to eight wins and six losses. The two victories were by an 8- ,6 count over Thorndale, Wed- nesday and 12-10 over the Dash- wood Tigers in 10 innings Friday. The Expos also lost two decisions. They were edged 3-1 by the Zurich Mets Tuesday night after suffering a 13-0 drubbing in an exhibition game in Corunna, Sunday. The Expos will be at home for two games this week. The strong Clinton Colts will be at Exeter Community Park at 6 p.m. Saturday and Thorndale will supply the opposition for a Sunday afternoon contest slated to begin at 2 p.m. Wednesday night the Expos travel to Arva. Fail to bunch hits Against Zurich Tuesday night, the Expos outhit their opposition but were unable to put the hits together. The first inning when the only run was scored was the only time Zurich veteran right hander Dick Bedard allowed only more than one hit in any inning. In the Exeter first Randy Tieman walked and scored on singles by Terry Bourne and Dave Revington. Zurich tied the score in the second when Rick Schilbe singled and scored on Clarke's double. Aub Bedard's single in the sixth sent Schilbe home with the winning run. Zurich's insurance marker in the seventh came on a double by Schilbe. Playing coach Terry Bourne led the Exeter seven hit attack with three singles. Other hits were delivered by Larry Haugh, Dennis Bierling and Don Camp- bell. The Exeter pitching chores were shared by Randy Decker, Paul McKnight and Perry Stover. The Expos were forced to come from behind to post their 12-10 Page 6 Times-Advocate, July 18, 1974 aausaliatianifiliaiataanimonownionaiiiillll180101818188018118imiiiiiTjaimiliabaiitailt FOR Aki GOOD SPORTS By Ross Haugh Holidays! This is probably the most difficult of the some 50 columns we write during the course of a year. The reason — holidays are about three days away and keeping one's thoughts on business is a little difficult. We will be spending about two weeks in Western Canada and hope to talk about various western sports topics on our return, Off to good start The crowds which appeared at the five World Football league games Wednesday night as the new league started regular play were surprisingly good. Close to two hundred thousand fans watched the opening games and this has to be encouraging to Gary Davidson and the other WFL organizers. Most of the games were played in temperatures ranging in the 80's. Not exactly ideal for watching football. The strike of National football league players could be throwing more interest to tb.: WFL. This new league did not schedule any exhibition games but went right into regular play. Probably the main reason for the opening day large crowds is the fact most NFL games are sold out and fans are clammering for football action, although it could be a little watered down. The WFL is certainly giving more players a chance to stay in competition. A good example of this is former Toron- to Argonaut Dick Thornton now with the Memphis Southmen. Thornton was released by the Argos at the start of the 1973 campaign and didn't see any football action last year. He is now the defensive captain of the Memphis team. The Memphis Southmen became a reality when legisla- tion planned by Canada's Minister of Health Marc Lalonde forced the Toronto Northmen to head south of the border. All during the election campaign and since voting day we haven't heard a word about the proposed legislation. We wouldn't be a bit surprised if it is completely forgotten. Lalonde will probably get another cabinet post in the new government. This would certainly make it easier for a World football franchise to become established in London. Bob Harris and Jim Duncan are now involved with the Portland Storm. Harris said recently that the Portland club would not be moved to London in a few years but attempts would be made to establish a new club here. A professional football club in London should do quite well. Fans in London and Western Ontario have little oppor- tunity to watch any live games for a couple of reasons. First of all the closest teams are in Hamilton and Toron- to and secondly both clubs are sold out most of the time and tickets are at a premium. Getting back to the WFL, the Memphis Southmen have quite a bit of Argo flavour on their side. In addition to head ,,coach Leo. Cahill, Jim Rowntree handles the defensive ;coaching dtitigS, Originality seems to have.been used by most of the WFL clubs when team names were chosen. How could one 'Im- prove on Detroit Wheels, Chicago Fires, Philadelphia Bells, Portland Storm, Jacksonville Sharks, Houston Texans and California Suns to name only a few. According to most of the reports at the five opening games, quality of play in the WFL was much better than that shown in the first contests of the American Football league back in 1960. Well done, Ken Ken Doig's showing in the recently concluded Ontario Amateur golf championship should be real encouragement to other golfers who don't have as much time to play as they would like to. The 46 year old Seaforth golfer finished third in the On-. tario which was won by Gary Cowan and as this is being written still has a chance to make the Willingdon Cup team. Another 18 hole round is being played by the top 10 finishers to decide which three will join Cowan on the On- tario team. Doig has a two stroke lead over three others and with a close to par round should be in contention. He has never been able to make the team and this should be his best op- portunity. He is what you would call a real amateur golfer. About the only time he sees any action is when he plays in tour- naments. ' His best supporter is his daughter Carolanne who is employed this summer as the public relations officer for the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation. Friday morning when Ken was only one stroke off the pace set by eventual winner Gary Cowan, Carolanne came bouncing into our office and enthusiastically said, "Did you hear about dad." She told us about the only time he plays any golf in addi-, tion to tournaments is usually the night before an event he will hit a bucket of balls and do some putting. In answer to a question of how long Doig has been par- ticipating in tournaments Carolanne said, "he won a Strat- ford invitational about a month ago for the second time. The first win came back in 1952. Doig actually started playing golf in Scotland when he was 21 and was in that country playing professional hockey. He is now co-owner of the Seaforth golf course with his brother Rod. His caddy for tournaments this year is son Ian. The job has been held over the years by older boys Kenny and Cameron. Another younger son Todd is next in line for cad- dying. Incidentally his current helper Ian has qualified to com- pete in this year's Ontario bantam tourney. Maybe they could switch around and father could be the caddy. overtime win in Dashwood, The Tigers held an 8-2 lead at the end of the sixth inning. Dave Revington's double sent Fred Wells who was running for Brian Haskett home with the winning run in the tenth. Revington also scored on a single from the bat of „Jilt' Pfaff. ;Tt A six run rally in the top of tlie eighth put the Expos ahead by one only to have the Tigers tie the score in the ninth. Bob Hoffman doubled off the right fence to score the tying Dashwood run in the ninth.
